Putting away the unnecessary thoughts, Kuroto looked towards the lake and started printing hand seals.
Tiger – Ox – Tiger – Rat –
As Kuroto completed the hand signs; a very large amount of Chakra kneaded in his stomach and he imdiately expelled an extrely large quantity of water from his mouth in the form of a torrent towards the lake.
"Water Release: Water Bullet Technique!"
The torrent of water was shot towards the other side of the lake with a howling sound.
Haku who was standing behind Kuroto was stunned.
This Water Bullet Technique was much superior to the one Haku used, as the diater of the torrent was easily over two ters.
But Kuroto wasn't finished yet and continued printing hand seals.
Dragon – Tiger – Hare: "Water Release: Wild Water Wave!"
Dragon – Tiger – Hare: "Water Release: Water Trumpet!"
Ox – Monkey – Hare – Rat – Boar – Bird – Ox – Horse – Bird – Rat – Tiger – Dog – Tiger – Snake – Ox – Ram – Snake – Boar – Ram – Rat – Yang Water – Monkey – Bird – Dragon – Bird – Ox – Horse – Ram – Tiger – Snake – Rat – Monkey – Hare – Boar – Dragon – Ram – Rat – Ox – Monkey – Bird – Yang Water – Rat – Boar – Bird: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Water Gun Technique!"
"Water release: Rising Water Slicer!"
Without any pause, one-by-one Kuroto perford all the other five Water Release techniques in the sa order that Haku previously perford.
After the effects of Water Release gradually faded, Haku was left speechless as he looked at the still-raging water in the lake along with the condensed moisture in the air that turned into the fog.
On the other side, Kuroto who just perford six Water Release Ninjutsu not only didn't look any tired but muttered in disappointnt, "It looks like it would take so ti for the flow of Chakra to beco smooth enough in this clone-body."
At this ti Haku cald himself and looked at Kuroto with admiration, "Kuroto-Sama, I didn't expect that you would be so proficient and powerful in using the Water Release!"
Kuroto smiled lightly and spoke, "What amazing? I just learned these from watching you!"
"What!?" – Haku was stunned and imdiately asked, "Does that an, this is the first ti you have used Water Release?"
Kuroto nodded, "Indeed, this is the first ti I have perford Water Release Techniques, and it appears that it would still take so work for to gain so proficiency in them!"
When Haku heard Kuroto's words, he couldn't help but look at Kuroto with more admiration.
Although Haku is very young, however, considering that he has awakened the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, therefore, his perception of Water Nature is very high, and he can clearly feel that Kuroto-Sama has a frightening level of Water Nature Chakra within him.
Because of this Haku initially believed that even if Water Release wasn't Kuroto's exclusive and most powerful nature, he would still be quite familiar with Water Ninjutsu.
And now that Haku heard that this is the first ti Kuroto has used the Water Release techniques, so it is hard to imagine to what extent will Kuroto grow in just water Release techniques.
After answering a few of Haku's questions, Kuroto didn't explain anymore and said, "Follow ."
With that said, Kuroto jumped on the lake surface and walked towards its center using the Water Walking Technique.
Following Kuroto's order, Haku took a deep breath and carefully stepped on the water surface to keep up with Kuroto.
Water-Walking isn't a difficult task for Haku, especially because of his Kekkei Genkai, but because he is still very young, and the fact that the lake water is still very chaotic, therefore, he has to be a bit careful not to fall over.
…
The upper reaches of the Naka River.
Uchiha Itachi was walking along the river bank with a small backpack on his back.
As he has been growing older, Itachi beca more and more aware of the contradiction between the Clan and the Village, the situation after Uchiha Shinichi's defection has only beco very restless and it seems that there is no room for peace between the two factions.
The only one still resolved to work between the two parties for peace is Uchiha Shisui, which has sohow maintained a short-term calm.
Perhaps it was because the information about Uchiha Shisui having awakened the Mangekyou was now known to both the faction that both parties are a bit cautious of the other and are hesitating to be the first to make any move, but everyone understands that Shisui wouldn't be able to bridge the rift for forever.
Sooner or later, the two sides will have to reach a conclusion.
Itachi was thinking and walking while waving the short wooden twig in his hand.
"It seems as if one side…" – Before Itachi could complete his sentence a crashing sound echoed from the distance that prompted him to put aside his thoughts for now and focus on the source.
Following the direction of the sound, a hazy mist appeared on the horizon in the distant sky and a beautiful rainbow caught his eye under the sunlight.
'It's beautiful… I wish Izumi could have seen this!' – Looking at the beautiful rainbow, the depressed Itachi had a rare smile on his face.
But now was not the ti to think about it, because he soon realized that soone was using powerful ninjutsu in the distance and he quickened his pace to take a look.
Itachi had only taken a few steps and there was another loud noise from the sa direction, and this ti even the forest appeared sowhat restless as the fierce wind started blowing in the forest along with the birds and beast running away.
'Is anyone fighting by the lake?' – was Itachi's thought while he had almost reached the lake.
Imdiately realizing that sothing was wrong, Itachi hurriedly jumped on the nearest tree.
Crash… Gurgling… sweep…
As soon as he landed and the tree, a huge wave violently ca crashing and subrged a part of the surrounding forest in water.
Itachi was shocked, "Who can use such high-level Water Release in Konoha?"
Even though Itachi has always been at the top of his peers, it was still very difficult for him to imagine who could have used such high-level Water Release Jutsu in Konoha, which could almost subrge a part of the surrounding forest.
From what he knows, only Nidai-Sama would have been capable of such extraordinary feats, other than Senju Tobirama, who has been dead for decades, it was hard to imagine anyone of the Konoha Shinobi having such mastery over Water Release.
…
At the center of the Lake.
Kuroto took a deep breath while thinking, 'Using Haku's cells has clearly made the Water affinity of this clone incredibly terrifying!'
Unlike Kuroto who was still very calm and analyzing the clone's attributes, Haku on the side had a look of horror as he tried not to keel over, barely supporting himself by clutching the end of Kuroto's robe.
He didn't expect that when Kuroto-Sama tried his best, the result would be so terrifying.
Pitter… Patter…
He didn't have much ti to calm himself as it started raining heavily.
Looking up at the sky, Haku found that the increased moisture in the air condensed into thick clouds covering the previously sunny sky with a gloomy look and rained down heavily.
Even Kuroto was slightly embarrassed and scratched the side of his cheek awkwardly, "Uh, it seems I went a little overboard."
Whatever may have been the result, but Kuroto has confird that the Water affinity of this Clone is unparalleled, exactly as he intended.
So with the unparalleled Water Chakra affinity, additionally he had Ryuumyaku Gourd to provide continuous Chakra Support coupled with the presence of many water sources nearby, the power of ninjutsu used by the Water Clone-A was in full display and went to the extent that even Kuroto was a little surprised.
Now that the water level in the lake has increased so much, Kuroto also realized that it might have attracted so attention.
Such movents would obviously be noticed so without any more delay, Kuroto imdiately picked up the dazed Haku and disappeared.
As soon as Kuroto's figure disappeared, Itachi appeared on the lake.
Seeing that the water surface of the lake has increased so much that has caused the surrounding forest to be subrged and the pitter-patter of rain that only hit this area while the other side still had the sun shining brightly changed Itachi's expression to a more serious one.
While looking around his surroundings to find so clue as to the cause of this commotion, four figures that were dressed in Anbu Black Cloak appeared by the lakeside.
Glancing at the young kid on the side, the captain of the squad asked, "Are you the one responsible for this?"
Itachi shook his head, "No, I just ca here!"
The Anbu captain nodded, and before he could ask any further, Itachi hurriedly told him everything he knew.
After listening to Itachi's narration, the Anbu captain was also a little nervous.
Judging from the situation around, it does seem as if a fierce battle took place here not long ago, and the two sides fighting in the battle have to be extrely powerful ninjas, from what he can guess, both the sides would be around the level of a Jonin.
But the Anbu captain was also a little confused as to why are there no signs of use of any other elent. It couldn't have been that both the side only fought using the Water Release techniques, right?
The situation is both weird and dangerous, so it would best be reported to Hokage-Sama as soon as possible.
The troubled tis in Konoha haven't been solved yet, so such unusual movents could be quite disturbing, reporting it to Hokage-Sama as soon as possible is the best course of action.
After a light sigh, he spoke, "The opponent may have not gone too far, it is still dangerous here, you should go back to the village quickly!"
