The Iwagakure Ninja looked at Naori in the distance, furiously forming hand seals while shouting.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"
The leader shouted out the Ninjutsu they were about to use.
Their eyes widened in rage, and they let out a roar!
Twenty-seven people simultaneously unleashed the same Ninjutsu, then immediately crouched down and placed their hands on the ground.
Instantly, the ground rippled like waves, followed by a surge.
The earth erupted, and an exaggerated giant wave of earth and rocks, nearly a hundred meters high, formed in an instant, as if a land dragon had overturned. The entire ground trembled and roared.
The giant wave surged violently, with mud and giant rocks rolling like foam, carrying terrifying kinetic energy within.
Compared to the pressure of water, a mudslide was even more terrifying.
Although the Ninjutsu's name sounded crude, its power was anything but.
Combined Earth Release Ninjutsu.
Even a Kage could not directly face its might.
Naori witnessed the catastrophic scenes described in her clan's records from the Ninja Wars.
The Three Tomoe spun rapidly.
Her ocular power was pushed to its limit, causing the three Three Tomoes to spin so fast they blurred into one.
Vaguely, the pattern in her eyes transformed into a Mangekyo-like design.
But it was still a little short.
In her eyes, the entire violently surging giant wave of earth and rocks slowly solidified, its details exposed without a trace.
Even her physical sensations became sluggish, heavy and decayed like an old person.
Time seemed to slow down physically.
Only her mind was accelerated.
Her body and mind were disconnected, unable to keep up with the speed of her thoughts.
And then…
First Gate: Opening Gate: Open!
Brain region restrictions lifted.
Second Gate: Healing Gate: Open!
Physical fatigue restrictions lifted.
Yin Seal: Release!
The stored Chakra flowed out, then infused her entire body according to the Fuinjutsu's pathways.
This was the prerequisite for Ninjutsu without hand seals. At the same time, Naori could use the copied Super Strength.
Tsunade still thought she couldn't use it.
She often mocked her Sharingan.
This state was also the key to activating the Thread Manipulation Swordsmanship: Camellia Dance, which could even send Susanoo flying.
The Camellia Dance was very heavy; the longer the whip, the harder it was to wield.
By instantaneously opening and closing, this small technique, which Naori had mastered at six years old, controlled Chakra consumption.
At this moment, it was far from over.
Lightning Release: Chakra Stimulation for Cell Activation!
Her entire body was boiling, and fine electrical arcs danced across her skin.
Immediately followed by Wind Release.
After years of targeted training, dozens of acupoints on her body opened.
The nature transformation of wind unfolded.
Air currents spewed out, and wind enveloped her entire body.
The next moment, the final transformation began…
A spark erupted, spewing from the opened acupoints.
Immediately, violent flames swept across her entire body, exploding with a roar.
The air around her boomed, strong winds ruffled her clothes, making them flutter wildly. Her bio-steel clothing was burning, despite having a fire-retardant coating. Her hood was thrown back, and her purple hair burned like flames. The resident Parasitic Micro-Insects awakened, then absorbed Naori's Fire Release Chakra and began working, protecting her beautiful hair from being completely burned away by the flames. The surrounding oxygen rapidly evaporated under the scorching flames.
The hidden, deadly trap silently activated.
This was a forest, and a massive fire would mercilessly devour everything, causing poisoning in the fire zone.
If they didn't run.
By the time they wanted to run, it would be too late.
Beneath her clothes, the Fuinjutsu on her delicate collarbone expanded, crawling up her cheek, and then, stored oxygen was released.
In this state, Naori could not breathe oxygen and needed to generate her own.
At the same time, she also had to guard against the deadly, continuous high temperature.
Fire Sealing Method: Modified, spread across the skin beneath her clothes, and the character for 'flame' appeared on her heart.
This Fuinjutsu served to block heat transfer, thereby protecting Naori herself and preventing the power of the Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation for Cell Activation from being disrupted by high temperatures.
But this state was not that simple.
The difficulty of Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship lay in the superposition of nature transformations.
Fire meeting water would cause a steam explosion.
This was her clan head's grandfather's swordsmanship.
He possessed the rare water nature within the clan.
Theoretically, the more layers, the more terrifying, but in practice, it depended on the suitable method of superposition.
Electricity and fire were difficult to react; high temperatures would instead increase resistance and decrease current.
Therefore, Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship was not a fusion of attributes, but a reaction of attributes.
Wind expanding fire, fire aiding wind's power, was a naturally paired reaction.
Wind could spread the range of flames, causing each sword swing, even if it didn't hit the opponent, to burn them with fire.
This increased the attack range.
It required the user to have the multi-tasking ability to maintain two nature transformations simultaneously.
And this was just the simplest application.
Naori's swordsmanship specialized in speed.
Wind could accelerate Naori's speed.
After the wind nature transformation spewed from her acupoints, it rotated in a turbine-like shape, generating thrust.
At this point, it was already fast enough, but it could be even faster.
Like a thermonuclear reaction.
Using a Wind Release turbine to inhale air, heating it with Fire Release, and then the expanding air achieved high-speed propulsion.
This was flame propulsion.
In this state, the attack speed of the Thread Manipulation Swordsmanship could no longer keep up with Naori's own speed.
Amidst the roaring of the air, six long streams of flames behind Naori converged into individual powerful bursts, erupting like wings spreading behind her.
Then, amidst the stirred-up sonic boom, Naori shot straight up into the sky like a fiery meteor.
Uchiha-Style Mode.
She flew up…
The Iwagakure Ninja watched with wide mouths as Naori ascended like a fiery meteor above the earth wave amidst a series of roars.
Then, the fiery meteor turned in the air, diving even more violently towards them, skimming the earth wave.
What kind of monster was this!
A series of sonic boom rings exploded in the air. The Iwagakure Ninja formed hand seals to counter the attack, but in just a few blinks of an eye, the diving fiery meteor was upon them.
Naori swung her sword; a blade moving at high speed, simply held level, would possess powerful and terrifying lethality.
But Naori swung her sword, and flames shot out and exploded from the blade, expanding her attack range.
In less than a second, Naori pierced through the crowd. Along the way, those struck by her blade sustained injuries of varying severity.
Three of them were cut by the sword and died on the spot.
Naori pulled up, turned, and continued to dive down.
"Disperse! Disperse!"
This was the correct response.
Concentrating in one spot meant they wouldn't even have time to form hand seals to attack her, and Earth Release was difficult to hit a fast-moving target in the air.
Seeing this, the Iwagakure Ninja frantically formed hand seals, then all dived underground with Earth Release.
Naori did not gain altitude, but fell like a meteor to the ground. The earth roared, and circular waves of earth rose explosively around her, showing the terrifying kinetic energy.
The ground beneath Naori shattered, and jagged cracks spread. At the same time, the Fuinjutsu expanded from her as the center and burrowed underground.
This was a Summoning Technique.
Naori had set it up at a certain volcano.
The next second, magma erupted in a column, violently spewing out from deep underground, instantly engulfing Naori and everything around her.
Viscous magma rose like a fountain, constantly blooming like flowers in the air.
Erupting, churning.
As if a fire demon had descended.
Summoning Fire Release: Volcanic Burn!
Fuinjutsu was the longest thing Naori had ever studied in her life.
