Chapter 522: Clearing the Crisis in the Land of Water
The eastern sea of the Land of Water stretched out boundlessly, with the enemy attacking from four distinct locations.
The first point of conflict featured the Third Mizukage, who had already been directly suppressed and neutralized by Ryo's sudden aerial intervention. The second location involved the Ancestral Relative Battalion and the White Zetsu army; however, once the elite Jonin who had been surrounding the Third Mizukage were liberated, they immediately rushed to reinforce that sector, shifting the scales of battle firmly in their favor.
The third enemy was Gengetsu Hozuki. He was currently positioned closest to Ryo, but since Mei Terumi explicitly stated she could comfortably hold her ground for the time being, Ryo seamlessly followed her counsel. Tossing a brief, mocking jibe at the legendary shinobi's small mustache, his physical frame cleanly flashed out of existence, deep into the open ocean currents.
A scattered array of nautical miles away sat the fourth pocket of conflict: the Water Monster Brothers locked in a high-powered clash against a white-haired freak!
The human identities hidden beneath the water monsters were precisely Mangetsu Hozuki and Suigetsu Hozuki. Wielding their clan's Hydrification Technique while fighting atop the open ocean granted both Hydrification users the capacity to violently scale their output parameters way past their absolute limits. In the original timeline, Suigetsu had managed to absorb a direct point-blank blast from the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb, even though the structural trauma had melted his vessel into a thoroughly miserable, pale green puddle...
Yet, the specific adversary their forces were confronting was fundamentally far from being a simple metric. Bestowing the title of 'white-haired freak' upon his vessel was entirely driven by the unvarnished reality that his hair and beard parameters were monumentally long and snow-white, completely cloaking the vast majority of his facial aesthetics; his authentic identity was the First Mizukage—Byakuren!
Operating as the founding patriarch who had single-mindedly pacified the chaotic, bloody warring eras of the Land of Water to establish the Hidden Mist, Byakuren was exceptionally unique. While flattening his independent combat stats required a mere two-strike execution sequence from Ryo's hands, his historical generation parameters were highly unique...
Alternative First Kage were structurally mandated to address Ryo under the sovereign mantle of 'Grandpa', yet Byakuren possessed the generation clearance to comfortably address Ryo as 'Uncle'... talk about an exceptionally unique seniority structure.
"Senior! Could it possibly be that your absolute presence wove a rapid transit block over to these coordinates strictly to lounge back and enjoy a live comedy show?!" An operational aperture violently split open right dead center in the torso of one of the massive water monsters, and Mangetsu's deeply dissatisfied voice cleanly rippled across the distance.
"Ancestral juniors native to the Hozuki lineage, refrain from permitting your cognitive processing to slack off mid-combat!" The First Mizukage's mastery over the Water Body Flicker Jutsu had scaled to an exceptionally flawless, master-tier vertex. Materializing point-blank behind Mangetsu's flank in a single micro-second, he aggressively thrust the index fingers of his dual hands straight forward: "Water Release: Water Gun Cannon (Suiton: Mizugappō)!"
Splaaash!!!
Suigetsu's water-monster frame frantically mobilized to supply a high-powered flanking shield to protect Mangetsu's coordinates, yet the ocean surface violently erupted into a colossal wave of crashing spray, completely blotting out his line of sight. Concurrently, the First Mizukage—completely failing to deploy a single defensive safeguard to audit his surroundings—was violently slammed and pinned deep beneath the ocean currents by a massive, unidentified entity that materialized out of thin air...
The absolute fraction of a second the turbulent waves placated back into relative tranquility, the aggregate tally of massive water monsters anchoring the ocean surface had smoothly mutated from two independent units... straight to three!
"The Great Ancestor has proactively summoned your biological sibling straight inside the fray to supply a high-powered flanking assist for your vessels, hehehe." Ryo wove a brilliant, radiant smile across his face.
"Exactly what kind of bizarre monstrosity is this." Mangetsu and Suigetsu stared at one another in complete, blank bewilderment.
Violently thrust out into the open sea, the First Mizukage cleanly breached the ocean surface from an alternative coordinate block, his internal emotional parameters violently spiking into a state of intense agitation: "Umibozu! Can it genuinely constitute your absolute presence, Umibozu?!"
Ryo's radiant smile instantly froze into a rigid knot. What exact flavor of chaotic logistics maps out down this track? Exactly how on earth do their historical databases share an active recognition block?
"Umibozu, exactly what precise technical alignment caused your physical mass to expand to this astronomically colossal volume? Could it possibly be that the shinobi world cloaks an alternative maritime expanse whose volumetric proportions vertically eclipse the ocean perimeters of the Land of Water?" The First Mizukage lifted his voice to deliver a resonant shout while rapidly weaving his hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu (Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu)!"
Ryo's facial muscles generated a subtle twitch. The unvarnished prose that white-haired freak had blurted out a micro-second ago... had quite literally pierced straight through the Great Ancestor's heart parameters.
Confronting the contorted, roaring water dragon charging violently toward his coordinates, Ryo's face remained entirely blanketed by deadpan calm, loosely tucking his dual hands behind his back. The absolute millisecond the water dragon launched its terminal impact loop before his torso, the concentrated kinetic energy automatically collapsed into absolute oblivion, transforming into a sweeping torrent of airborne spray before harmlessly raining back down onto the ocean surface.
This specific deployment of high-powered psychological deterrence achieved absolute success down to the letter. Mangetsu and Suigetsu sequentially dispelled their water-monster configurations, allowing Ryo's ears to catch Suigetsu smoothly dropping a low, tactical murmur: "The Grand Elder governing the Land of Whirlpools genuinely commands a baseline of strength that renders his vessel indistinguishable from a certified monster under heaven."
Flanking the alternative sector, the First Mizukage's primary focus had similarly systematically migrated away from Umibozu's presence to securely lock straight onto Ryo's vessel. Throughout the historical annals, his presence and Ryo had strictly crossed paths a singular time during the inaugural Five Kage Summit. Wielding a current framework that diverged monumentally from his past aesthetic coordinates, the First Mizukage was structurally incapable of deciphering Ryo's identity in a single glance.
Ryo concurrently harbored absolute zero desire to execute a nostalgic catch-up block alongside his vessel, calmly articulating a single inquiry: "Your matrix commands an active recognition tracking Umibozu?"
"Umibozu explicitly functioned as the premier, sovereign Summoning Beast bound to my wing across my living timeline. Young man, my sensory parameters can razor-sharply parse out that your strength tier is monumentally high-tier; I desperately pray your hands can comfortably administer a layer of benign care to manage its metrics! Couple your combat output alongside the ancestral juniors representing the Hozuki lineage, advance straight ahead to permanently seal my vessel!"
Catching the low, covert snickers blanketing Mangetsu and Suigetsu's countenances directly behind his flank, Ryo let out a helpless, long sigh, drawing his right fist back into a highly concentrated, maximum-potency chambering alignment: "A mere First Kage actually presumes he commands the moral clearance to project this tier of arrogant posture? Since the parameters map out down this track, the Great Ancestor shall comfortably bestow the absolute ultimate vertex of premium care to handle your metrics—Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack (Yasogami Kūgeki)!"
An astronomical multitude of matchless, titanic fist projections violently sliced through the air blocks, unleashing a frantic hurricane that violently churned and whipped the ocean surface. Actively unleashing the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack atop an open sea environment triggered a highly magnificent array of custom visual special effects—the descending fist afterimages seamlessly bestowing a supplementary, colossal Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu straight into the structural matrix... A monumentally vast, apocalyptic waterfall.
"To deploy an offensive volley wielding this tier of cataclysmic kinetic power... what a truly peerless junior!" The First Mizukage murmured in absolute, dazed astonishment, his right hand instantly locking the Tiger (In) seal: "Water Body Flicker... Mmm?!"
Bypassing the parameters of absolute time, Ryo had cleanly flashed to materialize directly behind the First Mizukage's flank, effortlessly flattening his right hand squarely atop his shoulder parameters to cleanly freeze his physical articulation into absolute immobility.
"Conscientiously imprint this intelligence node straight into your memory banks: the Great Ancestor operates under the sovereign designation Ryo Uzumaki. Your vocal parameters are structurally mandated to address my vessel under the mantle of Senior; has your cognitive processing genuinely cultivated a structural addiction to spouting the word 'junior' under the sun?"
"Ryo Uzumaki... Senior? Exactly which Uzuma—"
BOOOM!!!
Ryo wove a rapid spatial flicker to cleanly clear the coordinate block, and the cataclysmic kinetic output backing the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack slammed with absolute, point-blank precision straight into the First Mizukage's matrix—instantly pulverizing his physical structure into absolute, atomic debris while violently whipping the open waters into a colossal, heaven-blotting tidal wave!
It wasn't until a solid half-minute rolled past that the ocean surface finally registered a minor trace of relative tranquility, leaving behind a scattered array of massive and miniature aquatic whirlpools continuously churning the field, while the thoroughly obliterated First Mizukage had barely managed to reconstructed a fraction of his lower torso parameters...
"Sealing Jutsu: Water Tower Seal (Fūinjutsu: Mizutō Fūin)!"
Ryo wove his hand seals with lightning velocity, generating a colossal pyramid formatted entirely out of compressed, high-density seawater to securely and immutably encase the First Mizukage's matrix.
Clap, clap. Ryo casually dusted his palms, reabsorbing Umibozu straight back inside his Water Release pocket space, "The dual of you pace straight over to my coordinates, systematically haul this colossal water pyramid back to the shoreline boundaries, and implement an airtight, maximum-potency surveillance guard to monitor the asset!"
The Hozuki brothers exchanged a thoroughly dazed glance, slowly lifting their chins to gaze up at the towering twenty-meter-tall water pyramid. This specific asset appears to present an monumentally grueling tier of physical transport friction; our forces rightfully shouldn't have logged that covert snickering block a moment ago...
Concurrently, within an isolated corner block of the shinobi world.
Tenji knit his brows into a narrow slit: "The First Mizukage, Byakuren, has been completely and permanently sealed; Ryo Uzumaki has successfully touched down within the Land of Water."
Teuchi casually shrugged his shoulders, a serene smile painting his chrysanthemum lines: "Launching our core operations inside the Land of Water is completely unworkable; the geographical proximity separating its coordinates from the Land of Whirlpools is far too optimized."
"I parse the data," Tenji gave a firm nod. "Unless Ryo Uzumaki proactively executes a prolonged spatial journey block to hit the Land of Wind or the Land of Earth, our primary battalions flatly lack the clearance to launch an active maneuver."
Reaching this exact milestone of his breakdown, Tenji given a subtle pause, loosely appearing to parse a psychic transmission ripple: "Finally, a premier node of spectacular intelligence has touched down. Minato Namikaze paired along Kimimaro Kaguya—those two monumentally troublesome units—have successfully spearheaded the Land of Whirlpools' ninja battalions to sprint straight to reinforce the Hidden Cloud. Coordinate the logistical layout to immediately command the First Raikage to enter the active battlefield; let us desperately pray his presence can comfortably stall their progression for an extensive window of duration."
"At this exact juncture, the remaining troublesome unit anchoring the Land of Whirlpools maps strictly to Nagato Uzumaki. Ichiraku..."
"Address me under the mantle of Father-in-Law!"
"...Father-in-Law, your independent prowess is completely capable of flawlessly neutralizing Nagato Uzumaki, correct?"
"Naturally!" Teuchi blurted out an exceptionally smooth, absolute validation. "However, provided Konoha dispatches a high-powered rescue battalion to reinforce the coordinates, your independent forces are structurally mandated to shoulder the absolute entirety of the combat metrics. My personal presence shall single-mindedly focus on cleanly extracting the Nine-Tails! Your Father-in-Law's longevity parameters have scaled to an ancient vertex; my vessel flatly lacks the clearance to endure excessive physical friction!"
Tenji aggressively ground his jaw parameters together, his internal mind loops completely packed with ten thousand rows of absolute, unvarnished skepticism. Yet, Orochimaru abruptly wove a highly familiar, raspy validation to reinforce the line: "Tenji, follow the logistical counsel administered by your sovereign Father-in-Law."
Tenji: "..."
"Very well, let us adhere strictly to his directives." Tenji wove a grueling effort to force his turbulent internal alignment to cool down. "However, the absolute underlying prerequisite governing this entire operational blueprint dictates drawing Ryo Uzumaki clear of his base—propelling his presence to a coordinate block that rests as exponentially distant as humanly conceivable! Orochimaru, has your independent focus finalized the essential preparations?"
Orochimaru gave a firm, slow nod: "Rest your mind at absolute ease. Moving past that, the precise technical methodology deployed to draw the Senior clear of his coordinates..."
"My personal presence has already flawlessly compiled the ultimate asset!" Tenji reached inside his robes to extract a high-tier sealing scroll, aggressively tossing the item straight into Orochimaru's grip. "Deploy the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect her vessel; Ryo Uzumaki will undeniably execute a maximum-velocity sprint block to inspect the coordinate!"
Teuchi raised his eyebrows to a subtle degree, a gentle, knowing smile smoothly painting his features.
"Oh?" Orochimaru elegantly darted his long tongue out to lick his pale lips, his raspy voice vibrating through the cavern shadows: "I shall conscientiously select an exceptionally optimized geographical coordinate to execute the ninjutsu rotation. Exactly what timeline does your strategic plan dictate?"
"The absolute micro-second Minato Namikaze's boots successfully touch down within the perimeters of the Hidden Cloud Village." Tenji's brow generated a sharp, violent twitch of absolute, dazed disbelief: "What on earth... the absolute entirety of the Reanimation forces invading the Land of Water have actually sustained a total, clean decimation down to the final remnant this incredibly fast..."
