Password? Behind the mask, a happy smile appeared on Shinjō's face.
I don't have this.
Eight Kunai through the wooden door and stuck to the corridor wall, each with a burning Explosive Tag attached to its Kunai.
Shinjō Hand Seals.
Water Release · Water Formation Wall!
The swirling water rises from the ground, firmly encircling the Xingchen within.
Bang bang bang!!!!
A series of explosions rang out.
The water wall deflected the energy of the explosion, firmly resisting the impact.
"Intruder!"
The surrounding walls shattered into numerous pieces of stone that fell down.
"Enemy attack!"
Loud shouts came from every room.
Shinjō looked at the narrow corridor before him; this terrain was perfect for Water Release Ninjutsu. He formed hand Hand Seals.
Water Release: Great Water Shockwave!
A continuous stream of water gushed from the mouth of the Shinjō, rushing down and engulfing everything in sight.
A masked man swam out of the room near the entrance. Just as he was about to approach Shinsei, he was swept away by the rapid current.
The water rose rapidly and, in the blink of an eye, had submerged the roof of the corridor.
Shinsei sensed that the water level above was dropping, indicating that there was an exit ahead with considerable space.
Throughout the entire Shinobi World, Shinsei considered himself to be among the best in Water Release techniques. He moved through the water like a swift fish. No matter if a ninja was struggling in the water or trying to get close to Shinsei, he would simply reach out his hands and choke them unconscious.
In essence, these people were merely tools of Danzo; their attacks on Shinsei were at Danzo's behest, and they had no will of their own.
After Danzo is defeated, these people will still be Konoha's strength, and I believe that day is not far off.
Shinsei quickly swam to the bend at the end of the corridor, where he found himself in a huge hall filled with various instruments and rows of neat bookshelves, now half-submerged by the floodwaters.
Just as a Root ninja was about to form hand Hand Seals, which appeared to be Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Shinsei preemptively launched his own.
Water Release: Great Water Shockwave!
The massive flow of water swept up the ninja's body, slamming him against the wall, where he fainted.
This terrain is extremely advantageous for Water Release combat, with nowhere to hide. The dozen or so Root ninjas were basically stunned by the large water attack before they could even get close to Shinsei.
Shinjō looked up and Hand Seals with his hands.
Water Release: Water Severing Wave!
The jet of water shot towards the rooftop rock layer, and large chunks of rock along with massive amounts of mud and sand fell down.
The Water Severing Wave through the circle, cutting into a ring, and then made several cuts below the ring, causing a huge amount of rocks and soil to fall down, forming a massive crater.
A Shinjō, also wearing a mask, appeared beside the pit. The two exchanged a glance and understood each other perfectly.
The two destroyed all the instruments they could and carried away all the data they could. One of them, Shinjō, put the data into a storage scroll, jumped into the pit above his head, and disappeared.
The remaining Shinjō floated on the water, inspecting each room.
This doesn't seem to be a very important base; there aren't many ninjas with combat capabilities here.
With a deafening roar, the earth shook violently, the underground soil layer rose rapidly, numerous fissures appeared in the surrounding rock strata, and the water level dropped. The soil above parted to both sides, revealing a huge crack, and the floor beneath our feet also rose rapidly.
Someone has used Earth Release is a technique that allows one to escape from the earth), and their skill level is quite high.
The floor continued to rise until it was level with the ground of the Konoha area.
Fifty or sixty masked Konoha Ninja were densely packed around the outside.
The leader, whose face was half-covered in white gauze, revealing only one eye, was Danzo, the leader of Root.
"It's you!" Danzo's calm voice held a barely suppressed anger.
"It wasn't me!" Shinjō shook his head hoarsely; he was wearing a mask.
Danzo didn't want to speak, as if saying even a second more would be an insult to his intelligence. He stretched out his remaining intact hand and waved it forward!
Numerous ninjas simultaneously Hand Seals, unleashing a barrage of various Ninjutsu towards Shinjō.
Water Release: Kirin? No!
Water Release: Happy Dog!
Shinsei certainly wouldn't Water Release: Kirin Ninjutsu; that Ninjutsu had practically become his trademark, and he wouldn't leave such a significant weakness behind.
A giant Happy Dog made of rapidly flowing water appeared in the center of the arena.
If you're familiar enough with Kakashi, you'll find that this happy dog looks remarkably like Pakkun.
Shinsei stood inside the giant water dog's body, watching as the rapidly flowing water blocked the numerous Ninjutsu attacks.
Happy Dog was shaking its head and wiggling its two big ears.
One after another, Earth Spear shot in from all directions, and the water dog ran while spitting out a jet of water from its mouth.
Several unlucky ninjas were split in two by the water jets.
With so many ninjas, the Earth Spear shot from the ground were overwhelming, and the water dog couldn't dodge them every time it ran. The Earth Spear pierced the water dog's body and were quickly bounced off, but the mud left inside the water dog's body quickly murky it.
Orochimaru used this move against the Water Kirin last time.
The water dog easily leaped up, vaulting over the suddenly raised earthen wall in front of it, and spat out a jet of water towards Danzo. Danzo dodged it, but as the water dog shook its head, the water jet chased after it again.
Danzo Hand Seals with both hands.
Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!
The Wind Release Chakra collided with the water pillar, and in a short moment, the Wind Release Chakra was dispersed, while the water pillar continued to shoot towards Danzo.
Danzo dodged continuously, displaying the agility of a veteran ninja.
The water dog's body shrank rapidly as it continuously spewed out jets of water, prompting Shinjō to quickly increase his Chakra output.
The water column, like a long white line, followed Danzo's figure, drawing a deep black line on the earth.
Danzo finally couldn't dodge and was cut in half by the water column, but with a bang, he turned into a wisp of smoke.
The old man really is Shadow Clone.
Shinjō wasn't upset; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Under the relentless bombardment of Ninjutsu, Shinjō's Chakra finally ran out. He stretched out his right hand and waved goodbye to Danzo.
A massive torrent of water burst open, turning into a cloud of mist.
Danzo emerged from behind the crowd with a gloomy face, looking at the mess on the ground, lost in thought.
Shinsei was organizing his haul in the basement of his house.
The gains are secondary; what's truly satisfying is venting my anger today!
He wasn't afraid of Danzo's retaliation. Now that there was no Hokage, Danzo had lost his biggest backer. Danzo himself couldn't command the Anbu either, and his prestige in Konoha... well, it was hard to say.
Several large boxes were filled with various Ninjutsu scrolls, mostly fire, earth, and wind-type, with a small number of Water Release and Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
Shinsei had already learned most of the Water Release Ninjutsu; those he hadn't learned, he'd just glance at them and then toss them aside.
Among these materials, Shinsei even found several sets of data on human experiments using Wood Release, as well as several sets of experimental data on the development of Kekkei Genkai.
This is a great thing. Shinjō has been wanting to develop Storm Release for a long time, but he doesn't have any clue yet.
If we had developed Storm Release earlier, we wouldn't have had to be so sneaky when we were looking for trouble with Danzo; we could have just gone straight to his door.
In the ninja world, strength ultimately speaks.
After organizing the materials, Shinjō returned to his room on the ground floor and was about to begin his daily meditation.
Knock knock knock!
A knock came from outside the main door.
