"Ninjas who have mastered Fire Release can confidently use it in battle. Under the sunlight, your Fire Release will become stronger, while your enemy's Water Release will become weaker," Mokgetsu loudly reminded after completing the Sunny Day technique.
The effect of the Sunny Day can't be hidden since it doesn't just weaken or enhance one or two individuals, but rather weakens and strengthens on a large scale. So Mokgetsu straightforwardly revealed the effect of the Sunny Day.
Anyway, even if the Hidden Mist knows, they can't render Mokgetsu's Sunny Day ineffective.
The Fire Release ninjas beside Mokgetsu showed expressions of surprise and delight. They finally understood why Orochimaru specifically had them reassigned from their original squads to form a Fire Release squad.
Initially, many ninjas were puzzled by Orochimaru's move, as most ninjas in the Hidden Mist Squad mastered Water Release, which counters Fire Release. Forming a specialized Fire Release squad seemed pointless.
However, Orochimaru's reputation was strong enough that no one questioned it.
Now, they could only say that Lord Orochimaru was foresighted and that Lord Mokgetsu's Ninjutsu was extraordinary.
No one expected Mokgetsu to have such a miraculous Ninjutsu, one that could enhance Fire Release while weakening Water Release.
Hidden Mist ninjas who also heard Mokgetsu's voice turned pale, unable to imagine there would be such a Ninjutsu that restrains Water Release.
Even if some quick-thinking Hidden Mist thought they could also use Fire Release for the buff, it was useless because there were hardly any in the Hidden Mist Ninja Squad who could use Fire Release.
Even if there were some who could use Fire Release, their Fire Release wouldn't be strong. The actual effect might not even surpass using Water Release, which is more adept and still maintains the counter relationship.
"Teacher Mokgetsu actually has such a Ninjutsu. After the battle, I must ask if I can learn it," Obito gazed at the dazzling Blazing Sun in the sky, feeling moved.
To pull off such a move at night was just so cool, instantly becoming the most striking person in the field, especially since his specialty was Fire Release. An enhanced Fire Release meant an overall power boost.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Obito gathered a large amount of Chakra at his throat, spewing a massive, scorching fireball toward the Hidden Mist Squad.
This battle was different from previous ones, with over a thousand enemies. Therefore, Obito didn't waste Chakra at random and chose to use the Great Fireball, which had great power and low consumption.
"Water Release: Water Array Wall!"
The Hidden Mist ninja quickly formed the seals, spitting out a stream of water that formed a water sphere to block ahead.
But he underestimated Obito's Fire Release and overestimated his own Water Release.
It's important to know that Obito's Fire Release now not only has the Breath of Flame buff but also the Sunny Day enhancement, while the Hidden Mist ninja's Water Release was weakened under the effect of the Sunny Day. How could it possibly withstand Obito's Great Fireball in such a situation?
Sizzle!!
Boom!
Obito's Great Fireball engulfed the Water Wall, the fierce blaze encircling the Hidden Mist ninja, turning his body charred.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Jutsu!"
Several ninjas from the Sorutobi Clan stood together, forming the seals to release the Sorutobi Clan's Fire Release Secret Technique.
Scorching flames spewed from the mouths of the Sorutobi Fire Release ninjas, combining to form a fire sea, burning all the Hidden Mist that they touched to ashes.
"Lord Mokgetsu's Ninjutsu is simply a perfect match with the Great Flame Jutsu," a Sorutobi ninja couldn't help but praise.
The Great Flame Jutsu was originally a Fire Release Secret Technique born for war. The flames it released had an extremely high temperature, which could be compensated for by multiple releases if the range was insufficient. Plus, with Mokgetsu's Sunny Day amplification, it was invincible on the battlefield.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
"Water Release: Water Turbulence!"
Many mid and high-level Hidden Mist jonins launched attacks on Mokgetsu, attempting to kill Mokgetsu to dispel the Ninjutsu weakening Water Release.
Since there's no way to dispel the Ninjutsu released by Mokgetsu, they decided to eliminate Mokgetsu.
Because in the Ninja World, some Ninjutsu can indeed be dispelled this way, the principle being that maintenance requires the caster to continuously output Chakra. Cut off the Chakra source, and the Ninjutsu naturally disappears.
However, they didn't know that Sunny Day isn't this type of Ninjutsu, nor could they do anything to Mokgetsu.
"Everyone move a little further away from me," Mokgetsu had the Konoha ninjas around him spread out, as he was about to use large-scale Ninjutsu.
Sometimes, too large a range can also be a trouble, because in reality, you can't turn off friendly fire.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishing!"
Mokgetsu switched his breath to the Breath of Flame, then gathered and quickly transformed his Chakra into Fire Attribute Chakra, unleashing it all in one breath.
Swoosh!!
Flames, like ocean waves, spewed from Mokgetsu's mouth, rapidly forming a fire sea that engulfed everything in front of him.
The intensely burning high-temperature flames rapidly increased the surrounding temperature of Mokgetsu, causing the ninjas not far from him to sweat from the heat.
As they gazed at the overwhelming fire sea, the Konoha ninja understood why Mokgetsu asked them to retreat a certain distance, with such a vast-scale Fire Release, a slight mistake could potentially engulf them all.
The fire sea spewing from Mokgetsu's mouth added a touch of fiery red to the bright place amidst the darkness, and the faces of every Hidden Mist ninja opposite Mokgetsu were flushed with firelight.
They looked on in shock as the fire sea mercilessly consumed all their Water Release, as if the Chakra attribute counter wasn't Water restraining Fire, but Fire restraining Water.
"His Fire Release is actually this strong!" a Hidden Mist Jonin exclaimed in shock.
