Exploding Water Colliding Wave

In Yugakure, within the cave of the Jashin Cult.

The cave was dimly lit, with scarce torches providing minimal light. Yet, under his discerning eyes, the surroundings were visible.

Natsuki strolled confidently through the cave.

The path was lined with numerous cultists lying motionless. It was easy to identify them, dressed distinctly in fashionable attire.

Hidan sported a down jacket, jeans, and Martin boots, while others exhibited various high-end boots, tight pants, and loose tops.

Metal jewelry adorned their bodies, giving the impression of a trendy city.

Despite their stylish appearance, their strength was lacking. Few signs of resistance were evident along the way; they all lay defeated on the ground.

Knife wounds dominated, primarily inflicted by Uchiha, while the monstrous masses resulted from Samehada.

Some individuals displayed faint black or silver modification marks on their bodies.

As he progressed through the not-so-lengthy passage, the sounds of ongoing combat reached his ears. Curious, he advanced to investigate.

Inside the cave, a sizable pothole occupied the space, with a high platform situated in front of it.

The platform bore dark brown stains of blood, and shattered limbs were scattered around.

Observing the scene, Natsuki furrowed his brows. This location likely served as a gathering or sacrificial site for the evil cultists.

In the midst of the area, Shisui had already employed his renowned technique—the Body Flicker Technique.

Multiple Shisui figures filled the field, and the evil cultists, faced with relentless attacks, were steadily retreating.

The cultists of the evil sect behaved erratically. When struck, they shouted, "Long live Jashin-sama!" and recklessly charged forward, embracing the sharp blades of their companions.

Fortunately, Shisui excelled in the teleportation technique, and the disciples lacked substantial strength.

Their low-level tactics of sacrificing themselves were futile against Shisui's adept use of clones.

Meanwhile, Kisame had loosened Samehada's bandages and unleashed Samehada.

The hilt of Samehada's sword extended like a curved chain, thrown by Kisame like a meteor hammer.

A direct hit meant certain death, and even a graze incapacitated the cultists.

In the Yugakure, high-level ninjas were low. The so-called masters of this cult were few, with most members being mere pawns.

After Shisui and Kisame cleared the area of lesser foes, the remaining four individuals seemed more formidable.

The person in the center, appearing to be in charge, shouted fervently, "You blasphemers! Jashin-sama will not let you go!"

Natsuki stepped forward, taunting, "Oh? We are standing right here. What can your god do to us?"

The supposed leader choked. Most of the recruits with him were no match for the Uchiha members, and Hidan, their most potent asset, was absent.

"Just wait! Hidan will come back and kill you all!"

Yaoya intervened, stating, "It's useless; give up. Hidan has already perished at the hands of Natsuki-sama."

"What!?"

"Impossible! I don't believe it!" As several people approached, he urged those around him, "It's time to be loyal to Jashin-sama!"

The surrounding individuals seemed momentarily stunned, then shouted, "Be loyal to Jashin-sama!"

Several people jumped onto the high platform together, seizing swords and inserting them into their own necks. They remained alive for a while despite the self-inflicted wounds.

For a moment, blood spurted out as the individuals on the high platform took their own lives.

The person in charge, standing atop the platform, shouted, "Jashin-sama, these are gifts from the most devout believers."

The bright red blood on the ground seemed to come alive, gleaming ominously.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…"

The leader laughed maniacally, believing that the ceremony was complete, and immortality awaited him.

No matter the method—beheading or heart extraction—he would not die.

Natsuki frowned and leaped into the air. Looking down, he observed the blood on the entire ground flowing into a triangle and a circle through specific grooves—a rune akin to Hidan's.

A force seemed to transcend the boundaries from the void, condensing on the individual at the forefront.

He snorted coldly.

"Kisame! Wash away all the blood here!"

Kisame grinned, responding, "Leave it to me, boss!" He thrust Samehada behind him, swiftly forming seals.

Turbulent water spurted out from Kisame's mouth, the sound resembling a dam bursting, rushing down like a torrent.

The water quickly surged through the grooves on the ground, carrying away not only the blood but also the corpses of the evil cultists.

The Uchiha members were astonished by the formidable water release.

Jumping out of the water, they witnessed an unexpected turn of events. Kisame had sprayed the water so rapidly that it couldn't flow out.

The passage got blocked by the corpses of the cultists, causing the water level in the hall to rise rapidly.

Natsuki was speechless, realizing Kisame was eager for action after a prolonged period without a fight. While the rising water wouldn't drown everyone, it created an awkward situation for the group.

To remedy the situation, Natsuki transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan and summoned the giant Susanoo with a roar, breaking through the mountain wall.

…

When Miru heard the violent sound of water rising like a tidal wave, she recognized that Brother Kisame must be using water release again, as only his Water Release could produce such power.

However, confusion flickered in her eyes. Wasn't that the center of the mountain?

Subconsciously, she gripped Haku's clothes in her hand.

"Boom!" The sloping mountain wall suddenly exploded, and a massive amount of water gushed out from the hole below.

She swiftly jumped up, stepping on the water flow, and hoisted Haku in her hand. Kimimaro also leaped onto a nearby large tree.

A giant Susanoo emerged from inside the mountain, followed by several Uchiha clan members.

Shisui held an unconscious man, and Kisame, completely drenched, jumped out with Samehada in his arms.

With a grin, Kisame said, "Sorry, boss, I forgot the place was too small."

He uttered an apology that carried no sincerity.

Natsuki didn't mind, understanding Kisame's informal nature. After all, it wasn't a well-thought-out plan.

The water receded swiftly, leaving a smooth surface for everyone to step onto.

Natsuki scolded the Uchiha members, "If you see him preparing his ultimate move, why didn't you interrupt him?"

Shisui rubbed his nose and explained, "Senior Natsuki, don't be angry. I was the one who stopped them from intervening."

Natsuki snorted; Shisui was always like this—planning everything before taking action and often missing opportunities.

Shisui, seeking a new topic, asked with some embarrassment, "Senior Natsuki, what should I do with this person?"

Throwing the captive to the ground, Shisui covered the previously washed ground with mud.

The man coughed up muddy water but quickly got up, unable to stop talking, "You interrupted Jashin-sama's ritual! Jashin-sama will curse you!"

Natsuki glanced at him, swiftly decapitating him with a single blow. Surprisingly, like Hidan, the man remained alive even after losing his head.

"Hahahaha, I am immortal! Jashin-sama has favored me! I succeeded! I am immortal..."

Observing the leader of the cult, he concluded that he had likely lost his sanity, leaving no energy to study how to remove his immortality.

Summoning Susanoo, he delivered a powerful punch.

Boom! Mud and water splattered, narrowly missing those who had ducked quickly. The head, still talking, was crushed into a pulp, creating a big hole in the ground.

Frowning, he punched the man again, turning his body into a meaty mess.

Natsuki's Susanoo swept its hand from left to right, covering the two holes.

Natsuki dispelled Susanoo and instructed Shisui, "Shisui, go inside and detonate the floor of the hall to avoid future issues."

Shisui acknowledged the order and left.

The nearby Uchiha gazed longingly at Susanoo as it faded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of detonations echoed as Shisui leaped out of the hole.

"Natsuki-sama, I've leveled the ground with my blasts."

He applauded, "Alright, mission accomplished. Let's head back."
