Chapter 171, True Ninjutsu!
The cold moonlight shone on the eastern coast of Land of Waves.
Raijin, Tsunade, and Orochimaru sat casually on the shore, playing with a Kunai, their senses extending into the darkness, alert for any approaching enemies.
No campfire was lit, as the ground beneath was densely covered with Explosive Tags.
"There must be at least a dozen Jonin in Kirigakure Anbu's three squads, right?"
Orochimaru looked at the depths of the sea....
Typically, a squad consists of three teams, each led by a Jonin, plus the squad leader and vice leader...
To be honest, Orochimaru felt uncertain.
"They're here."
Raijin stood up without responding to Orochimaru's comment.
The Kusanagi Sword was drawn and planted into the ground beside him.
Orochimaru drew a Kunai, and Tsunade took out her iron rod.
"I still don't understand why the teacher agreed to your crazy idea," Orochimaru muttered, gripping the Kunai tightly.
"Still talking about this? Let's get ready according to the plan."
Raijin glanced at Orochimaru and said.
"Mm."
Orochimaru nodded, the sea breeze tonight was a bit noisier than usual...
...
...
"Captain, there are three ninjas on the coast, one of them has an exceptionally large amount of chakra."
The Anbu vice captain came to the captain's side and reported.
"Three ninjas... Are they from Konohagakure? Have Hozuki Takuya and his group been taken out?"
The captain frowned beneath his mask.
"It's unclear, we've only spotted those three ninjas."
The vice captain shook his head in confusion. If Hozuki Takuya and his group had been taken out or controlled by Konohagakure, then there should be more than just three Konohagakure ninjas here, right?
Strange.
"Everyone, get ready for battle, take them out first!"
The captain drew his long sword and leaped from the ship towards the three, Raijin and his companions.
Three squads, nearly thirty ninjas, followed their captain and attacked Raijin's group.
Thirty against three, the captain really didn't see how they could lose.
Those three standing on the shore weren't Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara...
...
When Raijin saw a large number of Kirigakure ninjas jumping off the ship and rushing towards them, he quickly formed hand seals.
A huge dragon made entirely of flames soared into the sky.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
At that moment, a great wind began to swirl around the body of the fire dragon, rising straight up.
The fire, fueled by the wind, raised the already scorching temperature of the dragon, which then disappeared into the clouds.
Tsunade wasn't idle either. She stood a long staff beside her, and in each hand appeared a javelin made entirely of water.
The next moment, Tsunade threw the two javelins.
Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade: Double!
Having studied Wood Release for so long, although she still hadn't figured it out, Tsunade's Water Release was now incredibly adept!
...
Using Fire Release by the sea?
Which foolish ninja does this?
And shooting Fire Release into the sky?
Are they attacking the air?
The Kirigakure Anbu captain was full of question marks watching this scene.
But before he could think further, two blue javelins were already upon him.
Water Release Ninjutsu?
The captain smirked with disdain.
Combining the properties and shape-shifting abilities of Water Release to form javelins.
Using such a technique in front of Kirigakure Anbu, isn't that underestimating Kirigakure ninjas?
Wind Release chakra flowed into the long sword in his hand, charging straight at one of the javelins.
The Kirigakure Anbu captain, seeing this technique for the first time, never thought that these two ordinary-looking javelins were actually one of Senju Tobirama's strongest Water Release Ninjutsu.
Hard Vortex Water Blade.
As a master of forbidden techniques, the Second Hokage-sama wouldn't waste his energy on meaningless things.
Forming spiral water into the shape of javelins wasn't just for show.
Deceiving the opponent with appearances was what Senju Tobirama truly intended to do.
...
The fire dragon disappeared into the clouds, replaced by continuous streaks of lightning across the sky.
Three Tomoe Sharingan emerged, and a dense mass of lightning appeared in Raijin's palm.
Natural lightning can reach up to one billion volts.
In fact, Raijin could now produce one billion volts of lightning without the help of nature.
But to do so, Raijin would need to enter Sage Mode, then combine the power of the Rumble Fruit and chakra.
Merging three entirely different power systems together is the only way to achieve a voltage of one billion volts.
Relatively speaking, using a single Grand Fire Dragon technique to create cumulonimbus clouds is indeed a very cost-effective choice.
With one hand raised high, the thunder in the sky begins to coalesce under Raijin's guidance.
A massive Qilin emerges from the clouds, and in the next moment, it charges towards the multitude of Kirigakure!
...
When the long sword in his hand touches the javelin formed entirely of Water Release, the Anbu Captain of Kirigakure senses something is amiss.
This is not a change in the nature of Water Release!
Or rather, this is not a javelin formed purely of water!
It's formed of spiral water!
But now it's too late...
When the hard vortex water blade meets the sea surface, what appears before Raijin are two towering water columns nearly reaching the clouds!
How fast is lightning?
Almost the instant the water columns rise, the Lightning Release Qilin crashes into them.
The combination of water column and lightning emits a glow that even allows the outline of Kirigakure Village to be faintly seen.
And that's not all.
A multitude of purple thunderbirds are created by Raijin, rushing towards the two thunderous water columns, along with the remaining thunder in the clouds.
Lightning Release: Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix!
"What a magnificent sight..."
Orochimaru watches this scene, his eyes filled with wonder.
Originally, Orochimaru thought that, after all, there were more than thirty ninjas, including more than ten Jonin.
It would be virtually impossible to take them down.
But now, when the technique that was theoretical becomes reality, Orochimaru suddenly realizes that in the face of sufficiently powerful techniques, even numerous Jonin are powerless.
So, the strongest technique is to take advantage of the terrain?
It's because of the sea that the hard vortex water blade unleashed such power.
It's because of the cumulonimbus clouds created by Fire Release that such a powerful Lightning Release could be executed.
Such power... can be considered true Ninjutsu!
