Observing how effortlessly and swiftly Michikatsu dealt with his opponent, Nawaki was determined to conclude his own fight swiftly. He began to weave a series of hand seals, signaling his intent to employ the 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.' The opponent, an Iwagakure Jonin, noticed Nawaki's hand seals and deduced his impending technique. This particular water technique required an extensive 42 hand seals.

With a confident smile, the Iwa Jonin also initiated his own set of hand seals for 'Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon,' a technique that required just 8 hand seals. However, this overconfidence would prove to be his downfall, a mistake that would cost him his life.

He had overlooked one crucial detail: the person standing before him was none other than the grandson of the First and Second Hokage, known for simplifying complex water techniques. While Nawaki had not yet mastered the Water Release to the extent of using only 4 hand seals, he had refined it significantly. His execution of 10 hand seals was not only precise but astonishingly rapid, surpassing the Iwa Jonin's speed.

Just as the Iwa Jonin was in the midst of performing his technique, Nawaki unleashed his 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.' The water dragon shot forth at remarkable speed, hurtling towards the Iwa Jonin. With little time to react, the Jonin found himself in a dire situation as the water dragon rapidly closed in.

The collision was swift and fierce. As expected, the Iwa Jonin's fledgling earth dragon was no match for Nawaki's 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.' It disintegrated in an instant, overwhelmed by the force of the water dragon's assault.

If the Iwa Jonin hadn't employed the 'Substitution Technique' at the last possible moment, he would undoubtedly have perished. After the substitution, the Iwa Jonin reappeared some distance away from Nawaki, narrowly escaping the previous danger.

Nawaki wasted no time and continued his relentless advance toward the Iwa Jonin. From the water that had spread across the ground, he initiated the 'Water Release: Droplet Spear' technique. Simultaneously, several water orbs were expelled from Nawaki's mouth, hurtling toward the Iwa Jonin.

In response to this imminent threat, the Iwa Jonin swiftly activated the 'Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall' to form a protective barrier against the incoming water orbs.

The water orb, just before striking the Earth Wall, seamlessly transformed into a spearhead. It collided with the Earth Wall, piercing through the barrier. While it didn't possess enough force to completely breach the wall and continue forward, the spear-shaped water inflicted significant damage, leaving the Earth Wall weakened.

This vulnerability created an ideal opportunity for Nawaki to dismantle the wall effortlessly. It hardly impeded his progress, and Nawaki swiftly closed the distance between himself and the Iwa Jonin. Without a moment's hesitation, he delivered a powerful punch to the Iwa Jonin, who was sent flying into the soil, leaving behind a mess of earth rather than the expected blood and bones. Nawaki soon realized that the Iwa Jonin, after employing 'Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall,' had also used the 'Earth Release: Shadow Clone' technique.

Aware that the Jonin must be concealed somewhere nearby, Nawaki focused his chakra into his leg and performed 'Heavenly Foot of Pain.' The Iwa Jonin, hidden beneath the ground, was instantly blasted out from his hiding spot, severely injured. Without wasting any time on words, Nawaki materialized in front of the Iwa Jonin and terminated his life with a single devastating punch.

Recognizing that the situation for the other Chunin was dire, with one of them on the brink of death, Nawaki wasted no time. He swiftly activated the 'Enhanced Breathing Technique: Second Stage,' causing his strength and speed to multiply several times over. With incredible swiftness, he materialized in front of one of the Iwa Chunin who had been intent on ending the life of his wounded comrade. The Iwa Chunin was caught off guard and had no chance to react. In a single devastating punch, his entire form was grotesquely distorted, a testament to the tremendous force behind Nawaki's strike.

Just as Nawaki was about to disengage from the 'Enhanced Breathing Technique: Second Stage' to tend to the gravely injured Konoha Chunin, he was halted by Michikatsu, who was already en route to their location.

"Leave him be. I will attend to his injuries. You must go and deal with the others while you are still under the effects of the 'Enhanced Breathing Technique: Second Stage.' Otherwise, the backlash will leave you incapacitated for a significant amount of time," Michikatsu instructed as he approached Nawaki.

At that moment, an Iwa Chunin suddenly emerged before Michikatsu. With a casual swing of his sword, Michikatsu effortlessly ended the Iwa Chunin's life, passing through him as if swatting away a mere fly.

Nawaki nodded in understanding and left to confront the remaining Iwa Chunin, determined to eliminate the threats swiftly.

Michikatsu swiftly materialized in front of the injured Chunin and employed the 'Mystical Palm Technique' to stabilize the wounded ninja, preventing him from succumbing to his injuries. Michikatsu had acquired this advanced medical jutsu through close observation of Tsunade, who had used it to treat injured Konoha ninjas during the Second Ninja World War.
