When different chakra nature jutsu are used, the interaction between chakra natures can lead to changes in the actual effects of the jutsu.
For instance, Wind Release jutsu can enhance the power of Fire Release jutsu. Similarly, Lightning Release jutsu can add electrical and paralyzing effects to Water Release jutsu. This phenonon, where the interplay of different chakra nature jutsu leads to changes in their actual power, is known as the Compound Jutsu Phenonon.
Certain compound jutsu have significantly enhanced power compared to the original jutsu, making them highly practical. Therefore, so ninjas record these phenona and collectively refer to them as compound jutsu.
Compound jutsu are challenging to perform, requiring precise coordination between ninjas and a high degree of mastery over their jutsu. It’s not simply a matter of combining any random jutsu together.
If the wind is too strong, it can extinguish the fire.
Additionally, so jutsu, due to their unique nature, fundantally lack the ans for combination, which is why compound jutsu are rare.
Watching the surging flas approaching, Neiki suddenly swung his long sword.
In an instant.
It was like unleashing a mudslide. Countless waves of water mixed with mud gushed from the black blade, forming a monstrous beast that swallowed the incoming flas and other attacks.
Apart from the steam rising from the mud river monster's body, which was being evaporated by the heat, Neiki himself was unhard.
“He’s using us to test his sword…” Tsunade suddenly realized this.
Her face darkened.
Though the technique, vaguely combining two chakra natures, was impressive, it was clearly a defensive maneuver.
Tsunade had no idea how Neiki had slaughtered Nara Suzaku and the others. The Neiki before her evidently had no intention of using that ability in their presence. The information Hayama Byakumo had tried to provide with his last ounce of strength was thwarted by Neiki.
Five minutes had already passed. From the coastline, they could faintly see Konoha’s ship. The remaining five minutes seed insufficient to take down Neiki. Tsunade, from the start of that sword technique, had given up any hope of capturing him within the ti limit. Her only goal was to at least land a blow on Neiki, to relieve her anger and gather more information about him.
“Boom!”
Tsunade’s punch shattered the ferocious mud river monster, but Neiki was nowhere to be seen behind it. She quickly turned around; Neiki had reappeared a short distance away, already entangled in another skirmish. Though his situation was not ideal, he remained composed, perfectly countering each attack from the Konoha shinobi.
The battle raged on.
…
Several kiloters away, the Kirigakure forces were closely monitoring the battle's progress. Learning that Nara Suzaku, Hayama Byakumo, and other Konoha elites had fallen to Neiki and Tsunade’s subsequent pursuit had yielded no results, i Terumi was particularly surprised.
Fushark suggested boldly, “With so many Konoha elites dead, our strength should now be on par with Konoha’s. Should we…?”
Honestly, the suggestion was very tempting, but after so contemplation, i Terumi shook her head:
“If we don’t have overwhelming strength, it’s better not to act recklessly.”
What good is a battle between evenly matched forces? What benefit can mutual destruction bring her?
Of course, if Neiki’s unforeseen strength continues to decimate Konoha forces, Kirigakure’s “overwhelming” advantage would naturally erge, and they could break their agreent to attack Konoha without haste.
As they discussed, a sudden alarm sounded.
The previously lax Kirigakure forces imdiately went on alert. i Terumi frowned and moved toward the commotion.
In the forest, two black-robed figures, one tall and one short, were surrounded by nurous Kirigakure ninjas.
“What’s happening?”
“They were caught infiltrating our camp,” a Kirigakure ninja reported promptly.
“What’s your purpose?” i Terumi asked, feeling a sense of familiarity with the two figures.
“No purpose, just wanted to see you,” Zabuza removed his hood, revealing his Kirigakure rogue ninja forehead protector, and smiled at i Terumi. “Long ti no see, i Terumi-sama.”
“Demon of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza?!” A Kirigakure ninja exclaid.
As soone who once dared to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Zabuza naturally had a significant reputation in Kirigakure. i Terumi's subordinates, being seasoned ninjas, recognized him imdiately.
However familiar he might be, seeing Zabuza’s rogue ninja forehead protector lit up their eyes with hostility.
Even if they weren’t from the Kirigakure tracking unit and despite so dissatisfaction with Yagura's bloody rule, which led them to follow i Terumi, the duty to eliminate rogue ninjas was still a fundantal responsibility for any village's ninja. Zabuza, known for his ruthless and violent nature, had many Kirigakure ninja’s blood on his hands, making him a sworn enemy to many.
“Here to see ?” i Terumi narrowed her eyes, holding back her agitated subordinates. She smiled dangerously, “I’m curious, what’s so important that you’d take such a risk to see ?”
“I heard a Kirigakure tracking unit recently died by your hand?”
“You killed our comrades and dare to appear before us?!”
The Kirigakure ninjas surrounded Zabuza and Haku, ready to kill them on i Terumi's command.
Zabuza and Haku weren’t like Neiki, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. They had no chance of escape in this situation.
i Terumi’s intent was clear: without a satisfactory explanation, she wouldn’t let these two rogue ninjas go.
“Our original plan was to leave here, not to confront the Kirigakure tracking unit head-on. That unit died because they trespassed into a place they shouldn’t have,” Haku’s clear voice echoed in the forest.
“A place they shouldn’t have…” i Terumi repeated thoughtfully.
“Yes, just like Kirigakure and Konoha now,” Zabuza chuckled lowly.
“What do you an?”
“i Terumi-sama, do you know that a new ninja village was established in the Land of Waves? Entering a ninja village’s territory without permission is an act of invasion. That’s why that tracking unit died here.”
“A ninja village in the Land of Waves?” Hearing this, several Kirigakure ninjas laughed. They thought Zabuza was making a big deal out of nothing.
What power could a newly established village in the small Land of Waves have?
i Terumi also shook her head, a bit disappointed. “If that’s the reason you ca to see , then I have nothing more to say.”
“What if we could help you beco the Fifth Mizukage?”
i Terumi didn’t respond, only smiled disdainfully.
It seed they were about to attack.
Haku sighed, “It’s a failure.”
Zabuza also shook his head, “As expected.”
“You were the one who told Mr. Hashirama that i Terumi was soone we could win over, so you volunteered to co…”
“I never said it would definitely work!” Zabuza glared at Haku.
“Then let Mr. Hashirama talk to them,” Haku sighed.
Zabuza didn’t respond, only muttering, “Arrogant Five Great Nations.”
At i Terumi’s command, a kunai was thrown. Zabuza smiled, not dodging, letting the probing kunai strike his forehead.
To everyone’s shock, he turned into a pile of withered wood.
“Wood Release?” i Terumi frowned, looking at Haku, who only smiled and waved goodbye before also turning into a pile of wood.
i Terumi stood by the two piles of wood, her eyes filled with disbelief as she recalled the na they had ntioned.
“Hashirama?”
