Water Release: Water Wall Jutsu

Water Release: Water Wall Jutsu

The battle in the Gobi Desert had left both Konoha and the Mist Ninja with heavy casualties.

The two newly established ANBU brigades had been crippled again. If they scraped together what remained, they could still form one brigade.

Captain Commander Kuroari returned to Konoha to report, while Captain Commander Yellow Dog reorganized the survivors and searched the Land of Waves for Uzumaki Remnants.

Squad Commander Kurozaru, who had lost an arm, gained new subordinates. However, he was most familiar with Yagami. Yagami's new squad became his direct unit and stayed by his side.

Over the past ten days or so, the squad had traveled between several ports in the Land of Waves, investigating the whereabouts of the Uzumaki Clan.

The full moon hung like a silver disk, its light like white frost.

After searching for so long without results, they had once again waited until the full moon.

During a break, Squad Commander Kurozaru handed Yagami the files on the squad's new members.

Yagami opened the scroll and saw the names, ages, abilities, and other information for the squad's dozen or so members.

These files could help a captain quickly familiarize himself with his members and make tactical plans more easily.

"Captain, the turnover rate in ANBU is way too fast. Since joining ANBU, I've already gone through several Squad Leaders and Squad Commanders," Yagami said.

"The same goes for these members. After the next battle, many of them will be gone. Before the battle after that, many more will join."

Kurozaru was supporting a boulder with one hand, training his arm muscles to regain his combat strength as soon as possible. He said, "I heard Lord Danzo is preparing to establish Root within ANBU.

"Root's duty will be to train new ANBU recruits, improve the strength of ANBU ninja, and prevent frequent large-scale casualties in ANBU.

"Lord Danzo's proposal is truly excellent.

"Not just you—I've already had three Captain Commanders since I joined ANBU. Captain Commander Yellow Dog is really strong. He actually managed to remain my Captain Commander for six months."

Ever since Yagami had found the one-armed Kurozaru in the Capital of the Land of Waves, Kurozaru had treated him better and better.

The despair of waiting to die with one arm gone had tormented Kurozaru terribly.

As they rested, Yagami suddenly heard an unusual sound of water.

"Enemy attack!"

After shouting, Yagami immediately sprang up.

A water dragon burst from the forest, gouging a deep trench into the ground.

The Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu, one of the Mist Ninja's signature ninjutsu.

Kurozaru also leaped up and hurled the boulder in his hand into the forest.

Without realizing it, Yagami had become the strongest Squad Leader in the squad.

The swordsmanship he had developed while fighting Cloud Ninja earned the admiration of the other members.

Basic Sword Art and Cloud Style Swordsmanship, combined with faster reaction speed, made Yagami's taijutsu exceptionally outstanding among Chunin.

Yagami took out an Exploding Tag Kunai and threw it into the forest. Then he drew his ninja sword and charged in.

He needed to obtain Water-style Chakra as soon as possible so he could deal with Konoha's Fire Style ninja.

Circling around a large tree, Yagami saw a Mist Ninja ANBU who had just lowered his hand seals.

That intimidating Water Dragon Bullet had been launched by this Mist Ninja.

The other Konoha ANBU also entered the forest. Yagami had a clear target and rushed straight at the Mist Ninja Squad Leader skilled in Water Release.

"Water Release: Water Wall Jutsu!"

Seeing the cold gleam of the ninja sword, the Mist Ninja hurriedly used a defensive Water Release.

Kurozaru entered the forest at this moment and observed the overall situation.

The first thing he saw was Fox slashing at the Water Wall Jutsu with his ninja sword.

This... Fox's swordsmanship was certainly strong, but using a sword to cut through ninjutsu was still rather hard to understand.

Yagami's blade struck the lower portion of the Water Wall Jutsu. The water current battered the flat of the blade, pushing it diagonally upward.

Visually, it looked as though he had cut the stream apart with an upward diagonal slash.

The Mist Ninja was startled.

A Kunai flew through a gap in the water flow.

The Mist Ninja hurriedly dodged, but the Kunai struck his shoulder.

Such a fast combo. How could this Konoha ANBU coordinate his ninja sword and Kunai in such a short time?

Were his reactions really that fast?

Fortunately, the Mist Ninja Squad Leader had another move prepared.

Recently, they had obtained quite a few Sealing Jutsu from the corpses of the Uzumaki Clan.

With his right arm injured, he tossed out a scroll with his left hand. The scroll contained a huge amount of seawater.

With only one hand seal, he released the scroll, and seawater surged out, drowning the Konoha Ninja.

This is bad.

The Mist Ninja had stopped playing with Water Release and started using Sealing Scrolls.

When a whale falls, all things flourish.

With the Uzumaki Clan exterminated, Kirigakure, Konoha, and Kumogakure had all improved their Sealing Jutsu.

When the seawater receded, Yagami was trapped inside a Water Prison.

Squad Commander Kurozaru tried to save him, but he was stopped by the Mist Ninja Squad Commander.

After an unknown number of minutes, Yagami suffocated to death.

The full moon's light shone on Yagami's pupils, and his dazed gaze gradually cleared.

He coughed repeatedly, still feeling that awful suffocating sensation from drowning in his previous life.

Arc of the Crescent Moon activated!

The host has only one revival opportunity per month. After death, the host will revive on the previous night of the full moon.

Reward: one draw opportunity.

1—Water-style Chakra;

2—Chunin-level Chakra (stackable);

3—Sealing Jutsu: Water Seal Method.

Sealing Jutsu: Water Seal Method was the Sealing Scroll used by Mist Ninja to store large quantities of seawater.

For Water Release ninja, this Sealing Jutsu was like adding wings to a tiger. They would not need to expend Chakra to create seawater out of thin air.

Chunin-level Chakra was also highly tempting.

However, Yagami chose the first option.

One who failed to plan far ahead would soon find trouble close at hand. He had to prepare for future conflicts with Konoha Ninja.

Water Release countered Fire Style. He had to master it.

The Chakra extracted by the Five Viscera determined one's Chakra attribute.

A heat rose in his lower back, and Yagami clearly sensed that he could independently control his kidneys to extract Chakra. When that Chakra mixed with the Chakra extracted from his body's muscles, it became Water-style Chakra.

His innate Earth Release Chakra came from his spleen.

The kidneys belonged to water, while the spleen belonged to earth.

If he wanted to extract Chakra of a new attribute, he would have to continuously stimulate a certain internal organ with Chakra. Not only was it easy to injure himself through training, but success was not guaranteed.

Several days later, Yagami arrived outside the forest where the squad was resting.

This time, he was more vigilant. The moment the Water Dragon Bullet appeared, he warned the entire squad, buying himself half a second.

Taking advantage of that time, Yagami formed the Ren hand seal for Shadow Clone.

This time, he used a Shadow Clone to probe while his real body launched a sneak attack, seriously wounding the Water Release Mist Ninja.

In the battle that followed, Yagami cleanly killed three Mist Ninja with his swordsmanship.

Yagami's strength was once again acknowledged by Squad Commander Kurozaru and the other members.

After the battle ended, Yagami hoisted the Mist Ninja onto his shoulder and left the scene.

Kurozaru asked in confusion, "Is there something special about this Mist Ninja?"

Yagami did not hide it and said, "Captain, I suddenly became able to extract Water-style Chakra recently. Water has become my second Chakra attribute.

"I'll spend some time tonight and see if I can interrogate a Water Release ninjutsu out of him."

Kurozaru said nothing after hearing that.

Yagami had single-handedly killed an entire Mist Ninja squad in battle. His strength was outstanding among Chunin.

Naturally, the strong received preferential treatment.

Interrogating a Mist Ninja was perfectly normal for ANBU. Perhaps they could even obtain some other intelligence.

Obtaining ninjutsu from captives was an important way for many Konoha Ninja to learn ninjutsu.

It took Yagami four hours to make the Mist Ninja talk in exchange for a quick death.

He obtained the Water Release: Water Wall Jutsu.

Mastering this one Water Release ninjutsu would be enough to deal with Konoha's Fire Style ninja.
