Learning Mizu Chakra

In an instant, a terrifying surge of water swept toward Kazuya. His face remained calm.

"What a magnificent sight," Kazuya thought to himself.

With swift movements, he dodged and leaped, his speed unmatched. No Water Style ninjutsu, no matter how powerful, could even graze his clothes. It was no wonder the Fourth Hokage had never needed any elemental ninjutsu in battle. Speed alone could render most techniques meaningless.

However, Namikaze Minato didn't anticipate that when speed reaches its zenith, it becomes futile against certain abilities. This balance of power is a constant cycle. No matter how high one's talent or speed, it can't surpass the inevitability of death. But these limitations didn't apply to Kazuya. With enough experience, he could master every element.

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Ninjutsu attacks came at him relentlessly. From afar, Danzo observed Kazuya, who seemed only to be dodging and not fighting back.

"Nohara Kazuya excels in Fire Style. Suppress him with Water Style ninjutsu and capture him alive once he's exhausted!" Danzo commanded coldly.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!" the Root ninjas responded harshly. Angry at him for attacking with arrogance, showing no respect for the Root organization or Danzo.

Under his mask, Kazuya's expression grew subtle. Danzo certainly knew how to embellish the situation. Overwhelm Fire Style with Water Style? Not a bad idea. Better than the Third Hokage's strategies.

For a moment, Kazuya's movements slowed, feigning exhaustion.

"He's weakening!" Danzo's eyes gleamed with triumph, thinking he had the upper hand.

"Hehe, young and inexperienced," Shimura Danzo sneered. "Nohara Kazuya, ever since you became captain of the Anbu branch, your information has been on my desk. You're talented, but you must learn there are always those stronger than you."

Shimura Danzo, hands behind his back, commanded with pride, "Increase the output of Water Style ninjutsu! Don't stop!"

"We've got him!" Danzo thought. "Kazuya Nohara... you're finished!"

"Yes!" the Root ninjas responded. The Water Style ninjutsu became even more intense.

Crash! Crash! Waves swept across the battlefield.

Golden light rained down, merging into Kazuya's body. After 15 minutes of bombardment, his Water Style talent had reached level 5.

"Excellent!" Kazuya thought. "This is how you work hard!"

These Root ninjas worked harder than the Third Hokage. Though not as strong, they were relentless. Each attack was a killer move, pushing their limits.

Kazuya couldn't help but praise their effort. They had helped him enhance his Water Style talent to level 5, far exceeding the Third Hokage's forces.

Especially the female ninja with the ponytail, tirelessly casting Waterfall Technique after Waterfall Technique. Her dedication was commendable.

Suddenly, Kazuya felt a pang of nostalgia. He remembered a female ninja from his past who could seal with her eyes and was quite skilled. He wondered if there were any others who could use Water Style techniques as effectively.

In the battlefield, some Root ninjas started to sense something was wrong.

"Cough, cough," the ponytail ninja coughed, "This Water Style output is too much. I'm choking!"

"My mouth is going numb too!"

"Something's off. Why doesn't Kazuya look hurt?"

"You're right. It's just wrong!"

Danzo noticed it too. "This kid... why is he so unscathed?"

Indeed, Kazuya found it easy. The Root ninjas were far from rookies; they were elite, trained for killing. Even Elite Jonin would struggle against more than a dozen of them. But Kazuya's strength was far superior.

"It should be about time," Kazuya thought.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive fireball, over ten meters in diameter, roared toward the Root ninjas.

"Incoming!"

"Be careful!"

"Water Style: Water Barrier!"

Several water barriers rose to intercept the fireball.

Boom! Explosion. Water vapor filled the air.

Danzo sneered, thinking Kazuya's reputation was exaggerated. Most of the damage must have been done by Jiraiya, not him.

But then, through the mist, a sound of breaking wind emerged.

"What's that... kunai!?" Danzo's face changed, alarms ringing in his mind. "Be careful, it's coming..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before Danzo could finish, a terrifying sonic boom echoed. White light flashed, and a dozen Root ninjas were sent flying, crashing into walls, coughing blood, unable to rise.

The white figure now floated before Danzo.
