Naruto: The Hatake Clan's Water Release Grandmaster

Transmigrated into the world of Naruto, Ling becomes an unremarkable orphan at Konoha's orphanage-a distant relative of the Hatake clan.

Yet no one knows that, from the moment of his birth, a fragment of the soul of a shinobi grandmaster who should have been resting in the Pure Land-Tobirama Senju-has quietly bound itself to his inner world.

Even more thrilling, this body possesses not only the Hatake clan's extraordinary talent for swordsmanship, but also the ultimate gift inherited from his mother's Yuki clan bloodline: an astonishing kekkei genkai that grants control over absolute pure water!

"That's not how you use Water Release, you idiot! Precision. Efficiency. That's the true essence of ninjutsu!"-the daily, acid-tongued instruction of his mentor from the Pure Land.

"Ling's jutsu... Why does it feel so eerily familiar?"-the bewilderment of a certain white-haired ANBU elite.

From that moment on, the history of Water Release in Konoha is rewritten forever.

In the Land of Waves, he crushes the Demon of the Hidden Mist beneath surging waters;

During the Chunin Exams, his Second Hokage-style tactics stun the entire arena;

In the Land of Water, his mastery of pure water awakens a long-buried bloodline legend...

When the shadow of another great shinobi war descends, and towering torrents surround Konoha, everyone finally realizes-

The boy who commands the world through water, like the Second Hokage reborn, has already become the shinobi world's newest legend.

This is the story of Ling Hatake,

And the epic of a water god's return to the shinobi world.

Where the waters flow, I do not walk my path alone!
