Chapter 39: Water Release: Water Formation Wall
Gobi Desert battle, both Konoha and Mist Ninja sides suffered heavy casualties.
The two newly established Anbu Battalions were once again crippled. If pieced together, they could still form one battalion.
Kuroari Captain returned to Konoha to report, while Kiiroinu Captain reorganized the remaining personnel to search for Uzumaki Remnants in the Land of Waves.
Kurozaru Squad Leader, who had lost one arm, gained new subordinates. However, he was most familiar with Yoru. Yoru’s new squad became his direct lineage, always staying by his side.
The squad had been traveling through several ports in the Land of Waves for more than ten days, investigating and searching for traces of Uzumaki Clan Members.
—
The full moon was like a silver plate, moonlight like white frost.
After a long fruitless search, they once again awaited the full moon.
During rest time, Kurozaru Squad Leader handed the squad’s new members’ research data to Yoru.
Yoru opened the scroll and saw the names, ages, abilities, and other information of more than a dozen squad members.
These research data could help the captain quickly familiarize himself with the team members, making it convenient to formulate tactics.
“Captain, the Anbu personnel turnover rate is too fast. Since I joined the Anbu, I’ve already had several squad leaders and squad leaders.” Yoru said:
“These team members are the same. After the next battle, many will be gone. Before the battle after that, many more will join.”
Kurozaru was single-handedly holding a stone, practicing arm muscles to quickly recover combat power. He said:
“I heard that Lord Danzo plans to establish Root within the Anbu.
Root’s duty is to provide training for Anbu new recruits, improve the strength of Anbu Ninjas, and avoid frequent large-scale casualties in the Anbu.
Lord Danzo’s proposal is truly excellent.
Not to mention you. Since I joined the Anbu, I’ve already had three battalion captains. Kiiroinu Captain is truly strong; he was my captain for six months.”
After Yoru found the one-armed Kurozaru in the Land of Waves’ Kyoto, Kurozaru treated him better and better.
That despair of waiting for death after losing an arm tormented Kurozaru greatly.
During rest, Yoru suddenly heard a special water sound.
“Enemy attack!”
After a loud shout, Yoru quickly jumped up.
A water dragon rushed out from the woods, carving a deep trench in the ground.
Water Dragon Jutsu, one of the signature ninjutsu of Mist Ninjas.
Kurozaru also jumped up and threw the large stone in his hand towards the woods.
Unknowingly, Yoru had become the strongest squad leader in the squad.
The sword technique he developed from battles with Cloud Ninjas earned the admiration of the team members.
Basic sword technique, Cloud Style Sword Technique, paired with faster reaction speed, made Yoru’s taijutsu extremely outstanding among chunin.
Yoru took out an exploding tag kunai and threw it towards the woods, then drew his ninja sword and charged towards the woods.
He needed to obtain water release chakra as soon as possible to deal with the fire release ninjas within Konoha.
Dodging a big tree, Yoru saw a Mist Anbu who had just released the hand seals.
That astonishing water dragon bullet was unleashed by this Mist Ninja.
Other Konoha Anbu also entered the woods. Yoru had a clear target and headed straight for the Mist Ninja squad leader skilled in water style.
“Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu!”
Seeing the cold gleam of the ninja sword, the Mist Ninja quickly used a defensive water style.
Kurozaru entered the woods at this time, observing the overall situation.
His first glance caught the fox chopping the water wall jutsu with a ninja sword.
This… Fox’s sword technique was indeed strong, but chopping ninjutsu with a sword was still somewhat puzzling.
Yoru’s sword struck the lower part of the water wall jutsu. The blade was impacted by the water flow and angled upward.
Visually, it looked like one slash diagonally upward severed the water flow.
The Mist Ninja was startled.
A kunai flew in through the gap in the water flow.
The Mist Ninja hurriedly dodged, and the kunai hit the Mist Ninja’s shoulder.
Such fast combos. Why could this Konoha Anbu coordinate ninja sword and kunai in such a short time?
Was his reaction speed this fast?
Fortunately, the Mist Ninja squad leader had a follow-up move.
Recently, they had obtained quite a few sealing jutsu from the corpses of the Uzumaki Clan.
With his right arm injured, he threw a scroll with his left hand. The scroll sealed a large amount of seawater.
With just one seal, he unsealed the scroll, and seawater gushed out, flooding the Konoha Ninjas.
Yoru thought it was bad.
The Mist Ninja stopped using water style and started using sealed scrolls.
When a whale falls, all things come to life.
With the Uzumaki Clan Annihilation, Hidden Mist Village, Konoha Village, and Hidden Cloud Village all improved their sealing jutsu standards.
As the seawater receded, Yoru was trapped in a water prison.
Kurozaru Squad Leader wanted to rescue him but was blocked by the Mist Ninja squad leader.
Unsure how many minutes passed, Yoru was suffocated to death alive.
—
The full moon’s light shone on Yoru’s pupils, and Yoru’s gaze slowly cleared from daze.
Coughing repeatedly, he still had that awful feeling of suffocation underwater from his previous life.
【Moon Arc activated!
Host has only one resurrection opportunity per month and will resurrect on the previous full moon night after death.
Reward one lucky draw opportunity:
1- Water Release Chakra;
2- Chunin Level Chakra Amount（Stackable）;
3- Sealing Jutsu: Seal Water Technique.】
Sealing Jutsu: Seal Water Technique is the sealed scroll Mist Ninjas use to store large amounts of seawater.
For water style ninjas, this sealing jutsu is like adding wings to a tiger, allowing them to create seawater without spending chakra.
Chunin Level Chakra Amount was also very tempting.
However, Yoru chose the first option.
A person without long-term worries will have immediate troubles. He must prepare for future conflicts with Konoha Ninjas.
Water Style counters Fire Release; he must master it.
The chakra extracted from the five viscera determines the chakra nature.
A heat in his lower back, Yoru clearly felt he could separately control his kidneys to refine chakra. The chakra refined from the kidneys mixed with the chakra refined from body muscles became water release chakra.
Innate earth release chakra came from the spleen.
Kidneys are water, spleen is earth.
To refine a new nature’s chakra, one must continuously stimulate a certain internal organ with chakra. Not only was it easy to injure oneself, but success was not guaranteed.
Several days later, Yoru arrived outside the woods where the squad was resting.
This time, he raised his vigilance. As soon as the water dragon bullet appeared, he shouted a warning to the whole team, buying himself half a second.
Taking advantage of this time, Yoru formed the Ren Seal for shadow clone.
This time, he used the shadow clone to probe, while his main body ambushed and severely injured that water style Mist Ninja.
In the subsequent battle, Yoru cleanly killed three Mist Ninjas with his sword technique.
Yoru’s strength once again gained recognition from Kurozaru Squad Leader and the team members.
After the battle, Yoru carried the Mist Ninja and left the scene.
Kurozaru asked puzzledly: “Is there anything special about this Mist Ninja?”
Yoru didn’t avoid it and said:
“Captain, I suddenly gained the ability to refine water release chakra recently. Water nature has become my second nature chakra.
Tonight, I’ll spend some time to see if I can interrogate water style ninjutsu out of him.”
Kurozaru didn’t say anything upon hearing this.
Yoru had single-handedly wiped out an entire Mist Ninja squad in the battle, outstanding strength among chunin.
Powerful individuals naturally received preferential treatment.
Interrogating a Mist Ninja was very normal for the Anbu; perhaps they could even get other information.
Obtaining ninjutsu from prisoners was an important way for many Konoha Ninjas to learn ninjutsu.
After four hours, Yoru finally made the Mist Ninja talk, in exchange for a quick death.
He obtained the Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu ninjutsu.
Mastering this one water style ninjutsu was enough to handle Konoha’s fire release ninjas.
