Naruto: Hiding in the Anbu Until I Became a Super Kage Chapter 112 - 112 Twin Vortex Water Cutting Wave

Yōkō returned to the small lake.

Senju Tobirama was truly a genius, creating such a unique jutsu.

Common Water Release techniques primarily relied on impact damage.

However, Senju Tobirama had developed a thod similar to centrifugal pump pressurization, using chakra to increase water pressure, giving the water stream an extrely high initial velocity.

But this wasn't the limit.

Yōkō had a new inspiration: he could completely use two centrifugally pressurized water vortices to simulate gear pump pressurization.

In his previous life, gear pumps could generate much higher water pressure than centrifugal pumps.

Two gears rotating in opposite directions, their shing points spinning at high speed, continuously creating a vacuum, thereby providing high water pressure.

Yōkō ford hand seals and first gathered a mouthful of water.

Not too much water was needed; it could be produced as needed.

Then, he slowly ford seals, creating two water vortices in his mouth.

One vortex spun left, the other right.

He controlled the two vortices, slowly moving them towards the center.

When the two vortices collided, they shed in the middle. Not only was there the centrifugal water pressure from the vortices themselves, but also the squeezing pressure from the vortices shing together.

Yōkō felt the water pressure in his mouth instantly increase.

A stream of water shot out, this ti moving faster.

The water stream pierced the first tree and embedded itself into the trunk of a second tree.

By continuously maintaining chakra and sweeping slightly, the Water Cutting Wave sliced through two large trees.

Success!

With a slight modification using the gear pump principle he learned in his previous life, he had obtained a more powerful Water Cutting Wave.

He nad this improved jutsu Water Release: Twin Vortex Water Cutting Wave.

After practicing over ten tis consecutively, Yōkō beca increasingly proficient.

He found a rock and used the Water Cutting Wave on it.

The rock was quickly cut in two by the Water Cutting Wave.

With this level of offensive power, it would beco Yōkō's sharpest blade in actual combat, a sharp water blade.

His exploration of the Water Cutting Wave paused here for now. Next, it was ti to spend a significant amount of ti honing this jutsu.

Proficiency, chakra consumption, power enhancent, etc., all required a relatively long period.

There was also hand seal training; forming seals wasn't just about the hand signs but also required practicing the corresponding chakra flow to increase the speed of seal formation.

Yōkō rembered in the original story, Sage Fukasaku had used a technique similar to the Water Cutting Wave to slice through Nagato's summoned creatures.

If he could achieve that level of power, then this technique would be extrely threatening.

Its ultra-fast speed and wire-cutting range would be enough to serve as a Jōnin's signature technique.

The next afternoon, Yōkō received a mission to be responsible for the security defense during the Jōnin Commander eting.

It was a particularly easy task. No spy would attack during a Konoha Jōnin assembly, right? The place is full of Jōnin; that would be too stupid.

During Jōnin Commander etings, the Anbu served more as the Hokage's backdrop, or to quickly relay the Hokage's commands or scrolls, or to temporarily summon soone to speak at the eting.

On the second floor of the Hokage Building, aside from the Jōnin at the frontlines and in the Anbu, the remaining 90-plus Jōnin were all present.

Yōkō stood in a corner of the conference room, performing the boring guard duty.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, and Utatane Koharu sat at the podium in the front.

The Jōnin Commander, Nara Clan Head Nara Rokaku, said:

"All Jōnin have heard the news: Sunagakure has declared war on Konoha. This Jōnin Commander eting is primarily to announce personnel assignnts for the Land of Rivers battlefield, including the Commander, Deputy Commander, various Battalion Commanders..."

"Wait!"

Hearing a voice, Yōkō imdiately perked up.

Soone actually dared to interrupt the Jōnin Commander's speech? Quite bold.

Seeing it was Tsunade, Yōkō wasn't surprised anymore.

Tsunade, sitting in the first row, stood up and said:

"Deciding matters for the Land of Rivers battlefield isn't urgent right now. Shouldn't we first address the issues in the Land of Grass and Land of Rain wars?

Konoha lost too many ninja in the Land of Grass and Land of Rain. Is there no one who thinks we need to reflect, that soone needs to be held responsible?"

Hearing Tsunade's words, everyone looked towards the higher-ups on the podium.

Yōkō felt Tsunade's questioning was forceful, but too rash; it might not effectively challenge the higher-ups.

Sure enough, Nara Rokaku said:

"The village deeply mourns the sacrifices in the Land of Grass and Land of Rain.

However, according to the battle reports sent back by Commander Mitokado Homura, we have already driven the Iwa-nin from the Land of Grass and successfully negotiated Guardian Ninja positions with the Land of Grass Daimyō.

Henceforth, Konoha ninja will serve as the Land of Grass Daimyō's Guardian Ninja.

After the war, we will obtain a share of missions from the Land of Grass.

Sacrifices are unavoidable for the sake of the village."

Nara Rokaku's words were high-sounding. A simple 'for the village' could shut others up.

But Tsunade wasn't buying it now. Tsunade continued:

"I once proposed that every team should be equipped with a dical ninja.

As long as a team has a dical ninja, the mortality rate of ninja would be greatly reduced.

If you claim it's impossible to assign one dical ninja per team, then what about increasing the number of dical ninja overall?

Just doubling the number of dical ninja at the frontlines would significantly reduce the casualty and disability rates.

Why is the village unwilling to do sothing so obviously correct?

I have never hesitated to sacrifice for the village.

But everything has a limit. Why can't we do sothing to reduce the sacrifices?"

Utatane Koharu, responsible for internal affairs, had to step in and explain:

"Princess Tsunade, training a dical ninja requires a long ti.

Basic Dissection Technique, dical principles, dical ninjutsu – it takes at least five years to train a Genin into a qualified dical ninja.

The scrolls on dical principles alone would fill a large cart.

The village understands the benefits of training dical ninja. The village is willing to reduce the ninja casualty rate, but the investnt is too great, the cycle too long, and it's unfeasible during warti.

After this Great Ninja War ends, I am willing to listen carefully to your suggestions."

Utatane Koharu's words weren't fully explicit, but everyone understood the underlying aning.

The resources required to treat a single injured person were too high. In comparison, training more cannon fodder was clearly more cost-effective.

Using Genin as disposable cannon fodder and Chūnin as cannon fodder squad leaders resulted in a higher input-output ratio for the war.

Among the Jōnin, most clan Jōnin supported the village's approach.

But those civilian-born Jōnin, who had truly fought life-and-death battles, managed to develop a fighting system that suited them, and were fortunate enough to be promoted, wore expressions of sorrow.

At that mont, Senju Hanaki, the head of the Senju clan and also the Director of Konoha Hospital, stood up.

Senju Hanaki said:

"Hokage-sama, my Senju clan still has 227 ninja.

I am willing to contribute the Senju clan's strength by having them beco the village's dical ninja to treat the wounded.

The Senju clan has a special physique, and most have learned so dical ninjutsu. We currently have 112 dical ninja.

For the remaining 114 ninja, Tsunade and I are confident that within one month, we can train at least 50 of them into qualified dical ninja."

All the Jōnin stared in shock at Senju Hanaki and Tsunade in the first row!

What was the Senju clan doing?

They were using the pretext of becoming dical ninja to withdraw the majority of their clan mbers from the combat roster!

Withdraw from the frontlines, and fully enter the dical system?

To avoid giving ammunition to critics, the Senju clan still kept 64 combat ninja.

For the village, they contributed resources to train dical ninja. For the village, they kept 64 ninja on the frontlines.

From any angle, it seed impossible to fault the Senju clan.

A woman leading the household is indeed more realistic.
