The Great Explosion Water Wave was originally a terrifying water technique used to transform flat land into a lake. When performed by a ninja with a huge amount of chakra, its power is so strong that it can temporarily transform a desert into waves.
For the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, water jutsu is their pride and symbol. In addition to killing enemies, launching a large explosive water wave can also transform the battle field into the environment they are best at, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, the biggest problem with water-based ninjutsu is its lack of lethality. Except for a few techniques of the Second Hokage, all of them rely on huge amounts of water to gain sufficient power.
Even if there is enough water, it is difficult to directly cause the death of the ninja. Usually it can only disrupt the ninja's formation, consume the enemy's physical strength, and change the battlefield environment.
In the ocean, the biggest home ground of water-based jutsu, it is different when the Kirigakure ninja launches a massive water blast.
Not only is the energy consumption when using ninjutsu greatly reduced, but precious energy does not need to be wasted on transforming the environment. It can even gain huge amplification from the ocean, increasing the power of ninjutsu by 50% out of thin air.
Moreover, water jutsu naturally has the characteristics of fusion and superposition. The Kirigakure ninja does not need to undergo rigorous training to use water jutsu, and they don't even need to perform jutsu jointly.
After the Fourth Mizukage used the powerful Great Explosion Water Wave, other Kirigakure ninjas only had to follow the direction of the Mizukage's attack and perform the same water-style ninjutsu, so that they could add their own ninjutsu to the attack and increase the scale and power of the Mizukage's water-style ninjutsu.
When more than 300 ninjas joined in, they created a huge and awe-inspiring tsunami that could kill almost any enemy.
Uchiha You saw the huge tsunami and was deeply shocked.
He finally understood why the sea was the home ground of the Kirigakure Ninja. When they fought on the sea, the environment allowed them to naturally achieve the effect of joint ninjutsu, which was truly incredible.
No wonder Orochimaru refused to launch a counterattack until the Kirigakure Ninja Army collapsed. It turned out that he was afraid that if he counterattacked on the sea, he would be counterattacked by the Kirigakure Ninja.
It is no wonder that the Third Raikage only brought a few ninjas to launch a sneak attack. The more people he brought on the sea, the more likely they would suffer from the attack of the Kirigakure.
A mere thousand-strong group of Kirigakure ninjas can unleash a tsunami. In the face of such terrifying water-based ninja skills, only ninjas above the level of Jonin can guarantee their own safety.
Uchiha You looked at the tsunami, his heart full of amazement. Ever since the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha joined forces to defeat the Hidden Mist Ninja Army, the Hidden Mist Village has truly ushered in a new life.
Four months later, he led the Tiger Force to fight two waves of Mist Ninja within three days, but they were all attacked by giant ninjutsu.
If the Kirigakure ninjas four months ago had this level, even if there was a giant hole in Kubota Village, the drainage capacity of a giant hole would not be enough to withstand such a tsunami attack, and the Tiger Force would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Today's Tiger Force is also unable to cope with a tsunami of such a scale, but this is not the Tiger Force's problem, but its own problem, the problem of Konoha Village.
If the Third Hokage had not had a dirty mind, if he had not been greedy for the legs of the giant octopus and enjoyed the comfortable island garrison life, the Uchiha of the Tiger Unit should not have fought against the Mist Ninja at sea.
If the Uchiha ninjas who are good at fire-style attacks were to fight against the Kirigakure ninjas who are good at water-style attacks on the sea, it would be inevitable that they would not be able to cope with it.
However, Uchiha You was not afraid of the huge tsunami. He even smiled with relief.
He calculated a 95% chance of winning before the war, so how could he not have thought of the tsunami attack?
Uchiha You felt relieved that if he could deal with this huge tsunami and then the Fourth Mizukage, his reputation would surely soar, and even with the help of Orochimaru he would not be able to control it.
Since he couldn't control him, Orochimaru would never bother to control him. The Third Hokage would know Uchiha Yu's information at the first opportunity and then make his unique reaction.
Uchiha You will definitely leave the Land of Hot Springs, leave the Tiger Force, and return to Konoha Village to wait in hiding.
Uchiha You suddenly smiled. The enemies and the tsunami had not been killed yet. What was he thinking about?
He placed the copper whistle in his mouth and blew out the command to "prepare the Phoenix Fire Jutsu", while forming seals with both hands and drawing a massive amount of Earth Style Chak from the cells of his body.
The Uchiha were shocked by the attack order. When they gritted their teeth and made seals to extract chakra, they suddenly felt a huge chakra fluctuation. Only then did they realize that their elder brother You actually possessed such a huge amount of chakra.
"What's going on here? Is this Brother You's chakra?"
"It's incredible. Let alone us Uchiha, even the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan, can they have such a large amount of chakra?"
"The Uzumaki clan... By the way! Naruki, you and Uzumaki Kushina are classmates. Do you think she has as much chakra as Brother You?"
"As I recall, Uzumaki Kushina's chakra amount isn't that large."
"hiss--!"
"You say, Brother You forces us to hone our physical strength, refine our chakra, and strengthen our spirits, could it be that this is the amount of chakra we need to obtain?"
“Ah? Ah…Ah!!!”
"I understand. It's the Hundred Refinements Body Strengthening Method! The Circular Refining Method! The Meditation Soul Strengthening Method!"
"Six Paths Sage, what have we missed?"
"I swear, I will never be lazy again. I must get this kind of power."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
The huge amount of chakra was so astonishing that the Uchiha were numb. By the time they figured out that it was earth-style chakra, the brothers didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
That’s Brother Uchiha You. He’s so powerful, so what if he can master earth escape technique?
Uchiha Yu did not make any disguise, and the chakra fluctuations he emitted were as bright as the moon in the night sky. Even through the huge tsunami caused by water jutsu, the Kirigakure ninjas could all feel the terrifying fluctuations.
The Fourth Mizukage was so surprised that he couldn't help asking, "How could the Uchiha clan have such a huge amount of chakra?"
No one answered the Fourth Mizukage's words, and the Kirigakure ninjas were all stunned.
Kaguya and Hozuki Hozuki were even more surprised than the Mizukage. They were both equally stunned and were calculating in their minds whether they could fight against the owner of this chakra. They didn't hear the Mizukage's question at all.
Only the Jinchūriki Ohnishi Kyohei didn't care at all. He had long been accustomed to the amount of the Three-Tails' chakra in his body, which was much larger and more evil chakra.
He even smiled with interest and made a request to the Fourth Mizukage: "Lord Mizukage, let me deal with this guy. I will let him know that the chakra of a ninja cannot compare with that of a tailed beast after all."
When Goji Yagura heard his words, his eyes lit up.
Yes, I shouldn't be scared by this chakra fluctuation. The amount of chakra has never been the only criterion for strength. Even if it is, the Jinchūriki around me is stronger.
He laughed and said, "Okay, Ohnishi Kyohei Jonin, I'll leave this Uchiha to you."
Karuju Yagura looked at the distraught Mist Ninja behind him, and said with a smile: "Why don't you make your official debut now, so that the Uchiha and our ninjas will know that we are stronger than them!"
Onishi Kyohei replied excitedly: "You're right, that's what I want to do!"
The first Jinchūriki of the Hidden Mist Village gently touched the seal on her body, and an evil aura emanated from her body. Along with this aura, an indescribable amount of chakra gushed out, pressing the surface of the sea to a slight dent.
Onishi Kyohei's face was ferocious, his skin was bright red as blood, and veins were bulging on his bald head, as if some monster was struggling inside him trying to escape.
As more and more terrifying chakra leaked out, dark clouds unknowingly covered the sea. The heavy air became increasingly icy and biting, and the temperature was clearly dropping.
The ninjas of the Snow Clan couldn't help but look over. They were absolutely certain that this chakra was ice escape.
Farther away, Orochimaru, who was approaching cautiously, raised his right hand, signaling the Konoha reinforcements to stop advancing, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed the chakra aura in front of him, with a sound of amazement.
"Haha, I knew that the Uchiha boy could hide, but I didn't expect him to have such a large amount of chakra. This exceeds that of me and the teacher."
"It's strange. Why didn't this kid hide? Isn't he worried that the teacher would find him and take him back to the village and trap him?"
Soon, Orochimaru felt an even larger and more terrifying chakra, and he immediately determined that it was the chakra of the tailed beast.
So Orochimaru's doubts were resolved, and he sneered: "So that's how it is, it's the tailed beast chakra, the Hidden Mist Village has also produced a Jinchūriki, no wonder the Uchiha kid doesn't dare to hide anymore, he must have sensed the danger."
"Haha, the Kirigakure ninja is in trouble."
Orochimaru turned around and ordered, "Keep going, but be careful not to go too fast."
He reduced the Konoha ninja's forward speed by half, focusing his main attention on the changes in the aura in front, assessing the best time to enter.
Orochimaru was not worried at all that the Tiger Force would be defeated. Perhaps the water jutsu of the Kirigakure ninja would cause the Uchiha people to suffer huge losses, but as long as Uchiha You was there, there would be no danger of failure.
In his impression, although Uchiha You was always hiding, as long as he was pushed into a corner, he would be met with a desperate counterattack from this guy.
Even the Root Ninjas who belonged to the same Konoha Village were killed by Uchiha Yu without hesitation.
Most importantly, Orochimaru discovered that after Uchiha Yuu sensed the danger, he took the initiative to set a trap and ambushed the Root ninja who had ill intentions towards him.
The character and determination shown by Uchiha You made Orochimaru fearful of him, but also full of confidence in him.
Orochimaru even thought that if Uchiha Fugaku had such a personality, his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen would never dare to have any thoughts about Uchiha.
The Third Hokage would even hold Danzo Shimura tightly to prevent his "impulsiveness" from disrupting the stability and unity of the village.
After all, the third generation always gives priority to dealing with the "honest" party and indulges the noisy party. This is not a good habit.
Orochimaru had no interest in the position of Hokage before and didn't bother to care about these things. Now that he has been stimulated by Uchiha Yu to become Hokage, he is still too lazy to persuade his teacher.
When a stubborn old man makes a mistake, how can he be convinced by reason?
Orochimaru knew that the best way was to wait until he took the position, and then take advantage of the biggest personnel change, the handover of Hokage, to handle related events according to his own style.
Just deal with the troublemakers a few times and the village will naturally change the rules.
This is much better than going against the teacher.
Orochimaru just hoped that Uchiha Yuu would be patient and obedient after returning to the village, or that the Third Hokage would not push this kid into a desperate situation.
Everyone can live in peace and stability until Orochimaru takes the throne.
"Huh?" Orochimaru finally distinguished the chakra released by Uchiha Yu in the interference of the tailed beast's chakra, which turned out to be earth scape chakra.
"The first card this kid turned over was a huge amount of chakra, and the second card was actually earth escape. The Uchiha clan actually developed earth escape chakra."
"This kid is so generous. He turned over a lot of cards today."
"Why do I feel like Uchiha You is telling me: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm going to show my cards, I'm super strong..."
"No, this kid must have developed Lightning Release. Lightning Release is very popular among the Uchiha clan's ninjas, it's impossible that he hasn't developed it."
"Wind Style must have been developed as well. For an Uchiha, developing Wind Style is at least ten times easier than developing Earth Style."
It has to be said that Orochimaru's guesses about the order of chakra development were almost all wrong, but his guess about the jutsu that Uchiha Yu had mastered was indeed very accurate.
He had more confidence in Uchiha You. Mastering at least four types of ninjutsu meant that no matter what type of ninjutsu the opponent used, Uchiha You could fight back with the ninjutsu that could restrain the opponent and gain the upper hand in the battle.
So the speed of the Konoha ninjas became even slower.
…
Uchiha You didn't know that Orochimaru decided to postpone the support after his random thoughts, otherwise he would definitely curse.
But it is also possible that he will not curse, because he has finally made a decision: stop pretending, let’s be frank, and come and see my strength.
After the powerful earth-style chakra was released, he put his hands together with a "pop" sound, and the ninjutsu was activated.
Earth Escape: Rock Digging
The effect of the ninjutsu penetrated the thirty-meter-deep sea water, stirred the earth's rock strata in the sea, destroyed the rock plate structure supporting the earth's crust, and caused the seabed to suddenly sink 18 meters, covering an area of 1.1 million square meters.
The rock-and-soil digging B-level earth-style ninjutsu has a normal digging range of 300 square meters and a depth of about 4 to 5 meters.
Even with the blessing of powerful chakra, it is impossible to reach such a large scale.
The secret is that under the cover of powerful chakra, a huge amount of natural energy of the earth spirit penetrates into the seabed in advance, softening the rock structure of the seabed and amplifying the power of ninjutsu thousands of times.
When the seabed suddenly sank, 20 million cubic meters of sea water filled into the pit, and an extremely terrifying depression formed on the sea surface.
The surging tsunami happened to be on one side of this depression. The huge waves that were originally rushing towards the Uchiha people were pulled back by the pressure difference caused by the depression in the sea water.
After the huge waves filled the depression in the sea water, they violently hit the concave sea surface, stirring up white foam into the sky, but they could no longer form tsunami-like waves.
At this time, the Tiger Unit's Phoenix Fire Technique was just completed, and the Uchiha soldiers blew out overwhelming flames, densely covering the Kirigakure ninjas.
The Kirigakure ninjas who had experienced similar situations shuddered in response, and then they shouted:
"Don't use offensive water ninjutsu, you'll suffer!"
"Use water array wall and water prison technique!"
Thanks to the unified power of the Fourth Mizukage, the Kirigakure ninjas had unified intelligence communication in advance, which enabled them to make correct responses in a timely manner.
Water curtains rose up in the sea, protecting all the Kirigakure ninjas. The flames of the Phoenix Fire Technique covered the water array walls like a rainstorm.
The dense and brilliant flames were like torches thrown into water. They made dense hissing sounds and then went out. They were completely unable to shake the water array wall technique.
It is true that Water Style can restrain Fire Style.
But none of the Kirigakure ninjas felt at ease. It was true that the Fengxian Fire could not break through the Water Array Wall Technique, but the number of Fengxian Fire was simply too much, and it was like a dense rainstorm that was making people's scalps numb.
The most terrible thing is that there is a huge difference in the endurance between the Phoenix Fire Technique and the Water Array Wall Technique.
The Fengxian Fire Technique consumes very little energy and has the common advantages of other fire-style ninjutsu. As long as the caster has sufficient chakra, it can be maintained indefinitely.
However, the Water Wall Technique has a durability limit. No matter how abundant the caster's chakra is, the water curtain can only last for a maximum of 140 seconds, and then the structure of the ninjutsu will collapse.
No ninja had ever maintained the water wall for such a long time before, and there was no need to continue it to the limit.
Because the previous attack ninjutsu all pursued high burst, the goal was to break through the defense with one strike and directly cause fatal damage.
This is the only correct way for an individual to use ninjutsu.
But the situation is different today. Uchiha You changed his thinking and launched a sustained attack, taking advantage of the enemy's weakness of not being able to persist and easily gaining tactical advantage.
Under the dense rain-like coverage of the Fengxian Fire, the Kirigakure Ninja must promptly build new water array walls to protect themselves from being killed by the Fengxian Fire's flames.
As a result, thousands of Kirigakure ninjas were suppressed by less than two hundred Uchiha and were trapped in place, unable to move.
These ninjas were all veteran ninjas. They knew at a glance that it was extremely dangerous outside the water curtain. The density of the flames left no room for escape.
Not to mention ordinary ninjas, even jonins or even kage-level ninjas cannot avoid all flames.
There was only one ninja who was an exception, the Jinchuriki, Kyohei Ohnishi, a senior ninja. His whole body was covered with the flaming chakra of the tailed beast. When the Fengxian Fire Jutsu got within 10 meters of him, it was extinguished by the icy chakra aura and could not get close to him at all.
Then, the senior ninja Onishi Kyohei released even more powerful Tailed Beast Chakra and rushed towards the Konoha ninjas with a wild laugh.
Seeing the Jinchuriki rushing towards the enemy alone, the Fourth Mizukage became anxious.
Jinchūriki is a powerful weapon on the battlefield and can cause huge losses to the enemy, but a lone Jinchūriki can easily fall under the siege of ninjas.
But the Mizukage, Yagura Karajima, did not have the ability to charge under the torrential rain of Phoenix Fire, and he could only watch anxiously.
