Chapter 135 The Great Explosion Water Wave
"This is... a miraculous recovery? How is this possible?"
"They stole it! They must have stole it!"
"Shut up! It's just somewhat similar to 'Return to Heaven.'"
Hiashi rebuked the two elders for their shocking slander, but—Hiashi was actually quite surprised himself.
Hijiri could indeed see that Hijiri's "Return" was different from what he had learned. It had no outward attack characteristics at all, and was simply focused on defense and counterattack, bringing the principle of "overcoming hardness with softness and deflecting force with rotation" to its extreme.
It's not a degradation!
Hijikata suspects that Hijikata's "comeback" might be more effective in defense.
Meanwhile, the little incident involving the three Hyuga in the audience did not cause any trouble, after all, this was the home ground of Konoha's genin!
The villagers didn't know anything about the main family or branch families, or about "reversal of fate." When they saw the Konoha ninja making a comeback, they would cheer, and no one paid any attention to them.
After stopping the clan elder, Rizu sat back down.
"I'm sorry." Hiashi apologized to the two elders for his rudeness.
At this moment, even Hiashi himself couldn't quite tell whether his fierce rebuke was because he was unhappy that they said Hiashi had stolen the technique, or because he couldn't accept that his younger brother had figured out "Return to Heaven" on his own and was faster than him in learning it diligently.
"You flatter me."
"Please, please don't say that."
On the field, Hizashi's "Return to Heaven" shattered the shackles of "Mountain Earth Technique," and shattered earth and rocks splashed everywhere.
Huang Tu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately put on his Rock Fist again!
"Can he spew chakra from his whole body? No, more importantly, he can actually control the chakra he spews out by rotating, instead of exhausting himself." Huangtu saw through the mystery in Hizashi's actions.
Only the Hyuga clan can control their chakra in this way.
The perception of the white eye is also manifested in introspection.
Ordinary ninjas, even those from the Uchiha clan, cannot control their chakra to such a detailed degree, allowing it to erupt from every pressure point in their body!
The Nikko had stopped and resumed its starting stance in the Gentle Fist.
Earth Release: Earthquake Wave!
From Hiashi's Byakugan perspective, Huangtu's already trembling chakra vibrated even more violently, and even—even without the Byakugan's perspective—Huangtu's body became somewhat blurry.
Meanwhile, the loess soil gradually moved towards the sun's rays—
Not only is it slow, but it also looks full of flaws!
However, with each step he took, chakra was transmitted through the fluctuations of the ground. Hizashi immediately shifted his feet with a solemn expression and had to concentrate a large amount of chakra in his feet.
"Oh no—" Akaishi realized what was going on.
Akaishi suspects that Huangtu's fluctuations in Earth Release chakra have reached 30% or even higher!
Sure enough, the two sides clashed again. At this point, the "Gentle Fist" was basically unable to shake the yellow earth. The yellow earth, through the vibrations transmitted by the earth, forced Hijika to devote a lot of energy to resisting.
Just when it seemed that the daily trade was already at a significant disadvantage—
At that moment, Hizashi suddenly noticed the direction of Hiashi's direction—because Hiashi was sitting in the back and hadn't told Hizashi he was coming. This was the first time Hizashi had seen his brother in fifteen days.
Although the Byakugan provides a full-range perspective, Hizashi hadn't noticed anything while in the crowd before, but now he was seeing it directly from the front, using a normal perspective!
At that moment, Rizashi was momentarily stunned.
The already disadvantaged Risa, caught off guard, took a direct hit from the yellow earth.
puff--
Richa coughed up blood, and the shockwave spread throughout his body, causing him to lose all his strength.
"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, Akaishi immediately looked in the direction that Hizashi had been looking from.
Akashi didn't know why, but Hizashi had paused for a moment just now.
Akaishi immediately spotted Hiashi in the crowd, who was watching the field with a worried expression, but—
Without a headband, her smooth forehead was exposed.
"Hyuga Hizashi, eliminated. The Yellow Earth Genin has successfully defended his position. Genin who wants to challenge, you may come up now." Hatake instantly teleported Hizashi out and announced at the same time.
At this point, only Chunin went up on stage and simply leveled the ground.
After a series of fierce battles, the arena looked completely uneven and pitted.
-
At the same time, Lanwu went up again, and Inuzuka Tsuru hesitated for a moment before jumping up as well. Suigetsu Hozuki from Kirigakure also came up.
Clearly, Huang Tu's fierce battle had taken its toll on him, leading to an even greater desire to challenge him.
but----
"You must be the granddaughter of the Second Hokage, right? It's a pity I didn't get a chance to fight during the preliminary rounds—" Huang Tu chose Lan Wu, who had come up earlier.
Huang Tu understood that among the three genin who came up, Lan Wu was definitely not the weakest; she might even be the strongest. But—
Huang Tu understood even more clearly that since this little girl had already set her sights on him, if he didn't defeat her now, he would be no match for her later!
Defeating Hyuga Hizashi was more difficult than Huang Tu had imagined.
Huang Tu originally thought that he would completely counter the opponent, just like he had encountered Hyuga Hiashi in the preliminary rounds!
What happened to the promise that "the one we met before was the eldest son of the main family"?
Why is this one even more difficult to deal with?
Therefore, the loess soil chose the orchid dance.
Although he felt that he would be exhausted after defeating Lan Wu, it would at least mean that his excellent performance would leave a deep impression on everyone—which was better than being worn down little by little!
"Shout." Xiguashan walked down with hostility.
"Keep it up." Claw rubbed his nose, patted Lanwu, and went downstairs.
After leaving only yellow earth and Lanwu on the stage, Hatake once again announced the start of the battle.
And at this moment, Lan Wu—
Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!
loess:!!!
Huang Tu didn't expect that Lan Wu would start with a large-scale A-rank ninjutsu.
but----
"Great Exploding Water Wave" is indeed a rare "starter-only" technique among large-scale A-rank ninjutsu.
After all, the "Big Explosion Water Burst Wave" is a super-evolved version of the C-class "Water Burst Wave". As always, it is known for its large quantity and is mostly used in non-aquatic environments to instantly create a large amount of water and turn land into water.
Of course, this also means that a lot of chakra needs to be consumed.
A-rank "Great Explosive Water Shockwave" consumes twenty times the chakra of a C-rank "Water Shockwave" under standard use, but its water conversion efficiency is also more than three times higher.
This "Big Burst Water Shock" has the equivalent water volume of sixty or seventy "Water Shocks".
Back then, in the mines of the Land of Whirlpools, if Kirigakure had been able to use this, even if Akaishi had used "Great Dragon Fire Technique," it would have been extinguished.
But there are no "what ifs"—
Putting aside the difficulty of mastering A-rank ninjutsu, the energy consumption of this move alone is not something that ordinary Jonin can accept. Generally, only Jonin who have no shortage of chakra and rely heavily on aquatic environments can learn and use it.
Lan Wu's attack immediately kept the Chunin around the arena very busy.
Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
Earth Release: Earth Flow River!
The first to react and use Earth Release to defend themselves was not Huang Tu, but the Chunin who had been positioned by Konoha, and—Rōshi, the young Jonin from Iwagakure!
Their movements were also very simple.
Enclose the area.
After all, there were spectators around!
Although the "Big Water Burst" can maintain its cohesive, hemispherical shape for a period of time without immediately dissipating, allowing it to run freely could easily provide the first few rows of spectators with an "immersive" experience.
Therefore, the Chunin of Konoha simply used Earth Wall to enclose the area.
The young old man suddenly made a move, adding the "Great River of Earth Flow" to the inside of the Earth Flow Wall.
On the one hand, it was to isolate the site, and on the other hand—it was to absorb water!
"Earthflow walls" simply enclose water, indirectly helping to create an aquatic environment, while "earthflow rivers" can absorb water. Thus, water that spreads to the periphery isn't blocked, but rather "disappears" directly, flowing underground along the "earthflow rivers."
"As expected of Jonin Ozaki, his Earth Flow River technique could probably stop even a small river from flowing," Hatake complimented.
"You flatter me." Old Purple nodded, realizing that Konoha had no intention of going back on his word.
This can be seen as an endorsement of Lao Zi's approach—it's fairer that way.
Even so, the loess soil was still submerged.
Logically, earth overcomes water, but to overcome water, what's more important is "ne," which is controlling the change between hardness and softness in earth-style chakra. This can be considered the most common change in earth-style chakra, just like the most common change in fire-style chakra is high temperature.
For example, Lao Zi's "Earth Flow River" requires "softness"—the looser and easier it is for people to sink into the earth, the easier it is to absorb and divert water.
As for the wave-like properties—it doesn't really counter water; on the contrary, Water Release also has changes in wave-like properties, making it more direct than Earth Release.
Although the loess will not suffocate immediately, the fluctuation of Earth Release chakra is shaved into "a strip on the roadside" in the water!
Bubbles were constantly rising from around the loess soil, just like an electric mixer.
However, after the fluctuations were conducted and weakened by the water, they were not enough to harm Lanwu.
Lanwu, however, was like a fish in water. She didn't rush to get close to the loess, but just swam around it.
Only when the loess soil can no longer resist and begins to rise upstream will Lanwu wield her "water whip" and come over—
In the water, the "Water Flow Whip" almost becomes a wish-fulfilling whip, capable of changing thickness and length at will!
After being forced back twice, Huang Tu realized that Lan Wu was waiting for him to leave the ground and move upstream before coming up to intercept him!
Once the loess leaves the ground, its strength will be further weakened, and being in the water, it will definitely be completely defeated by Lan Wu.
Lanwu not only holds her breath longer, but can also swim up to breathe lightly at any time, leaving Huangtu unable to keep up with the pace!
If Huang Tu knew the "Art of Light and Heavy Rocks" at this moment, he could easily take off from the water—unfortunately, he doesn't.
However, the loess soil also has its own methods—
Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!
After using ninjutsu, the ground beneath Huang Tu's feet rose up—
Normally, this move would raise a rock pillar to attack enemies or block attacks, but now Huang Tu is using it to raise the ground beneath his feet!
But just as the yellow earth was about to rise to the surface, it suddenly noticed Lan Wu swimming towards it. Lan Wu then smiled and disappeared into the water.
Water clone?
Huang Tu was taken aback, and at the same time became even more eager to surface!
Once we're on the water, everything will be alright.
*Gulu pao* (a sound of something coming out) Yellow Earth: ? ? ?
As soon as the loess came out, I realized something was wrong. Why does the water surface have this kind of texture?
All that could be seen was the rising yellow earth, and now he was covered in a white turbidity. He also realized that it wasn't just his body that was affected—
The water surface was also covered with this sticky, gooey liquid that couldn't be shaken off!
Huang Tu then realized that he had been tricked; this "big burst of water wave" was actually a large-scale forced movement maneuver.
In the subsequent ambush, Lan Wu adopted a "whatever happens, happens" attitude; it would be better if he were suffocated, but even if he wasn't—
When he went up to breathe, Lan Wu also transformed into a water clone and came down. His main body was on the water surface, creating a layer of mutated water escape material. As soon as he rushed out of the water, he would be truly controlled!
The loess soil was trying to break free from these constraints using "seismic waves," but at that moment, the "hard vortex water jet" had already arrived—
"Huang Tu is eliminated, and Lan Wu, a genin, becomes the new champion. Please withdraw your ninjutsu. Other genin who wish to challenge may now come up on stage," Hatake announced.
Lan Wu nodded, and as she formed a hand seal, the water level on the field quickly decreased, but the already muddy ground remained unchanged.
Whether it's Earth Release or Water Release, once it's released, the portion formed by chakra will disappear; it won't exist permanently.
However, even if it is "creating water out of thin air", it is not entirely water formed from chakra. There is also some condensation from the air, so there will definitely be some left over.
At this moment, Lanwu only released part of the chakra conversion, or rather, — no longer left any trace of her chakra on the field.
"Wrong? Do we need to undo it?" Akaishi asked in surprise.
Fugaku, who was standing to the side, glanced at him and said sternly, "Akaishi—didn't you read the details of the final exam?"
"This—" Akaishi chuckled awkwardly.
"After each battle, regardless of victory or defeat, or whether the champion changes, you must dismantle your chakra creations—including clones," Fugaku reminded.
Akashi, his face filled with shock, said, "So that's how it is—of course I knew, hahaha—haha."
Fugaku didn't investigate further, but simply gave him a heads-up.
Akaishi hadn't really paid attention to this detail before!
I originally thought that I could accumulate an advantage by constantly recovering chakra and creating "Mirror Clones". After all, one of the advantages of Mirror Clones over Shadow Clones is that the main body can recover chakra at this time. Moreover, after Akaishi acquired Yang Release Transformation, the efficiency of chakra recovery directly doubled!
It now seems that this clever solution is not feasible.
But it doesn’t matter—Akaishi immediately comforted himself, at least he can still continuously recover chakra!
At the same time, Lan Wu chose Iwagakure's Oishi from among the several genin who went up on stage.
Although Lan Wu finished the battle quickly, her "Great Explosive Water Wave" made everyone think that her chakra must have been greatly depleted, and the number of people coming up to challenge her began to increase.
In this tournament format, once the champion reveals a weakness, they are easily subjected to a series of challenges. A quick victory like Minato's is an exception.
