Chapter 350: Chapter 350: The Use of Combined Jutsu, Both Man-Made and Natural Disaster

With one hand resting on his chin, Takuya chuckled mischievously, "I'm just keep teleporting everywhere, won't you end up dying of exhaustion before you even get a wife?"
"Shut up!" Watergate snapped back.
Sure enough, this guy wasn't thinking anything good!
Even worse, the idiot just had to say it out loud.
Takuya caught the water cup that Minato had angrily thrown at him and laughed heartily, "Is there a problem at the camp? Orochimaru wouldn't send you here unless something major was going on."
After all, Minato was a precious asset-perfect for delivering messages and moving personnel quickly. Orochimaru had been treating Minato like a treasure, making sure not to exhaust him.
"Takuya," Minato put away his smile, a serious look on his face. "A major battle is about to break out. Kirigakure, which had paused its movements for several days, has started mobilizing again. Countless battleships are advancing on the coastline, with a massive number of enemy forces gathering. Orochimaru suspects they are preparing for an all-out assault. I've already brought my teacher to the coastal camp."
When did Yagura gain such boldness? It doesn't fit his personality.
Oh well, it's not my job to worry about that-this is Orochimaru's problem.
Takuya shook his head, discarding the stray thoughts.
On the main command ship of Kirigakure's fleet, the Third Mizukage didn't make an appearance. Yagura was still the one leading the charge. All the ships formed a line, gradually approaching the coastline.
"Everyone, use the Hidden Mist Technique!"
Yagura wasn't reckless enough to charge directly at the coast. An all-out battle like this could easily lead to being targeted by Konoha's combined jutsu attacks. Unlike small skirmishes, large-scale warfare depended on the coordination of the whole.
Even shinobi of average power, when gathered together and using combined jutsu under unified command, could produce astonishing power.
Following Yagura's order, all the Kirigakure shinobi participating in the battle started forming hand seals, releasing a large amount of mist from their mouths. The mist quickly enveloped Kirigakure's ships, and the entire coastline was soon covered in a thick white fog. "Damn it, this again? Can't Kirigakure come up with something new?" Jiraiya cursed, staring at the fog-covered sea as visibility continued to decline.
Orochimaru gave Jiraiya a sideways glance. "The Hidden Mist Technique alone won't decide the outcome. The enemy will eventually charge onto the shore and engage us in combat. In fact, I'd prefer they stick to this rather than using other combined jutsu."
"Combined units, get ready!"
With the command flag waved, Yagura's orders were relayed layer by layer. Inside one of the ships, the Third Mizukage sat happily in his chair, awaiting the start of the spectacle.
He'd been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Several specially selected shinobi stood on one of the ships, all forming hand seals simultaneously and using Water Release jutsu.
Jiraiya's worst fears were coming true.
Kirigakure wasn't foolish enough to charge directly at the shore. Instead, they aimed to flood the coastline with massive waves. Though Water Release jutsu wasn't inherently very destructive—not everyone could be as powerful as Tobirama Senju-if enough shinobi used
it together, the combined effect could be terrifying.
Moreover, using Water Release in the ocean allowed them to integrate the seawater into their
attack.
"Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!"
Stronger shinobi with more chakra used the Great Waterfall Technique, while those with average abilities and less chakra used Water Colliding Wave. The goal was the same-to
generate more water to flood the coast.
"Rumble!!!"
Massive waves roared, surging towards the shoreline with enormous force.
Kirigakure had thousands of shinobi participating in the battle. Even if only two thousand of them used combined jutsu, the resulting effect was nothing short of a natural disaster.
The deafening roar of the waves echoed across the battlefield as the water surged towards the
shoreline.
The ground trembled, and the Konoha shinobi all paled.
