"Water Release: Celestial Cry"...
The reason for its name, as described in Konoha's ninja technique compendium, is—"When this jutsu is activated, it's like a sudden downpour from a clear sky, catching the enemy off guard..."
Sounds quite poetic.
But in reality, it's akin to two people clashing their swords amidst a firework of sparks, and suddenly Senju Tobirama spits at the enemy...
This, of course, catches them completely off guard!
Techniques like stepping on toes or spitting are usually only used by kids in fights... Although they are highly insulting, in most cases they only serve to increase the enemy's anger...
But Senju Tobirama, in his own unique way, turned "spitting" into an art!
Water Release: Celestial Cry is an un-seal ninjutsu, and when supplemented with the profound Water Release Chakra Form Transformation, it makes the fine water needles incredibly sharp!
Sharp enough to pierce the eyeballs of the Uchiha Clan...
"Tobirama really tangled with Uchiha Izuna for a lifetime..." Aomi recalled the story Senju Tobirama shared when teaching him this move, looking somewhat reflective.
Senju Tobirama's inspiration and motivation to develop this technique came during the final battle with Uchiha Izuna.
Back then, in close quarters with Uchiha Izuna, Senju Tobirama inevitably had to meet the gaze of the Sharingan and was briefly controlled by Genjutsu, getting kicked away...
Although the final outcome of that battle ended with Senju Tobirama's victory—a Flying Thunder God Slash pierced Uchiha Izuna's chest, concluding their prolonged struggle.
Soon after, Uchiha Izuna's injuries worsened, leading to his untimely death.
Nevertheless, Senju Tobirama never forgot the round where he was suppressed. Perhaps to commemorate Uchiha Izuna, or perhaps to better counter the Uchiha...
Senju Tobirama invented Water Release: Celestial Cry, as an emergency technique to use when unable to avoid eye contact or form hand seals during close combat with an Uchiha.
With this move, if facing the clash with Uchiha Izuna again, Senju Tobirama could close his eyes and spit out pear blossom-like rain of water needles to pierce this lifelong nemesis!
"Naruto, did you see that? The key to a technique isn't about its grandeur or its coverage—it's about precision..."
Aomi clapped his hands, and the water waves emerged out of thin air to envelop Uchiha Obito from all sides, gradually forming a spherical prison. Numerous water locks wound around his limbs, sealing Uchiha Obito inside.
Just like when Aomi debuted at Ninja School, trapping Uchiha Obito in the Water Prison Jutsu...
Big Obito, Little Obito, in front of Aomi, remained that pure child.
As Uchiha Obito's defeat led to the collapse of the Uchiha Flame Array, the wall of fire isolating everyone from Naruto dissipated, allowing the Uchiha to have a clearer view of the battlefield.
Uchiha Fugaku's face remained stoic as he looked at the scene, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Including the other Uchiha, who all felt a profound sense of regret and shame intertwining in their hearts...
How could they have been so arrogant before?
Did they really believe the Sharingan, the Mangekyo Sharingan, to be invincible? A mysterious Space-Type Mangekyo Dojutsu and a Susanoo in its third-stage with the legendary Spiritual Artifact...
All were effortlessly brought down by this seven-year-old kid with basic Earth Release and Water Release, coupled with an attack resembling a spit!
Humorous, really humorous... The Mangekyo Sharingan might just have been overestimated!
An elder of the Uchiha Clan, with trembling, clouded Sharingan eyes, couldn't understand why he suddenly saw the shadow of another person on Naruto...
Just like that person.
Someone who understood the Uchiha Clan intimately, knowing more about the Mangekyo and Sharingan than most Uchiha members—a ghost... A wicked Senju who once led the Senju in defeating the Uchiha and manipulated politics to oust Uchiha Madara from Konoha—Sen, Ju, Tobirama!
The Uchiha elder dared not voice his thoughts, burying this surreal feeling within his heart, planning to study it after the storm passed.
"You... Your... Honorable... No matter, all the same... Thank you for saving the Uchiha Clan..." Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, unsure of how to address the stranger, and simply bowed slightly towards Naruto in gratitude.
But Aomi did not reply, instead glancing at Uchiha Obito nearby, raising an eyebrow.
"Naruto... This Uchiha who mastered the power of space is currently using a strange secret technique to repair himself, and I estimate he will escape with another Uchiha..."
"It's not troublesome to kill him now... Do you wish to spare him or should I resolve it?"
Aomi patted the puzzled Naruto, noticing the confusion in his eyes.
Wasn't Uchiha Obito sealed tightly within the Water Prison? How could he escape?
"Remember, you possess perception ability passed down from your mother, and beside you is the Nine-tails, which holds unimaginable power..."
Aomi spoke softly: "You and the Nine-tails are my friends... The world's waters are deeper than you both imagine, and destiny is anchored by the strong. If you seek true freedom, you need to move forward together with a united heart..."
"I am merely a passerby, a traveler, there's always a next destination... The next path is one you'll need to walk together, encouraging each other along the way."
