- Take your places," the Uchiha commanded, making the others move again, only now with a renewed sense of hope for survival.
Hoshi took her place in the crown of a spreading oak tree and stood motionless, waiting for further developments. In the meantime, the enemies had already appeared in the line of sight and were quickly approaching along the water surface.
The vegetation and the presence of the barrier did not allow them to determine the exact position of the Konokhovs, but Chunin did not doubt that the enemy fighters know perfectly well what awaits them on the battlefield prepared in advance and quite ready for it.
But the addition of three kage bunshin shinobi of the S-class would have to pass the sensors, and Ryo-sensei, hidden by the trees, would be able to take full advantage of the surprise, the students knew for sure, they knew the young jonin's fighting techniques better than most.
At Asani's sign, the chunin nodded, indicating her readiness to use the set of traps they'd set in addition to the traps their superiors had authorized - the border force's supplies were far more sparse than what Nara's genius had provided.
Meanwhile, after quickly discussing a rough plan of action with signs, the kage bunshin created one clone each, increasing the number to six and splitting the gigantic amounts of chakra in half, then rushed forward in a triangle so that three would run ahead.
The appearance of such a large number of formidable opponents did not go unnoticed by Kumo's sensors, Ryo's copies moved too fast, finding themselves by the water in a couple of seconds, folding hand seals on the move, and the enemy was just at a distance where the throwing weapons would not reach, and the space for maneuvering the attackers was somewhat limited, despite some dispersion of the Kumo's orders, just to counter ninjutsu.
After skipping over the coastal strip of water and finding themselves above some deep water, the first row of clones, being about a couple dozen meters apart from each other, almost synchronously finished folding the seal and sealed their palms into the small waves running beneath their feet.
The amount of chakra invested in the technique that gave the original a resounding nickname in the Book of Search would have made the vast majority of jonins cringe with envy.
- Suiton: Daibaku Suihosha!
- Suiton: Daibaku Suihosha!
The middle clone was literally a hundredth of a second late before following suit.
- Suiton: Senjikizame (Water Release: Thousand Hungry Sharks)!
Due to the near limitless amount of water from the sea, as opposed to the desert, the result of the chakra-infused ninjutsu, which only worked properly due to perfect control, was much more impressive - a giant wave of three ninjutsu fused together along the shoreline, pumping all the water several tens of meters forward, rising to a height unreachable by ordinary shinobi and literally hovering over the squad running forward at a great speed
