ASFUCITWON Chapter 204: The Battle Begins 5

Meanwhile, on the other side of the vast and oppressive waters, Reiji stood tall, as if his body merged with the sea.

The cold sea breeze caressed Reiji's red hair, transforming him into a cloak of fire that shimmered in the dark.

Where Reiji was not just a child in the midst of a storm, he was the storm itself—a figure unmoved, like a statue created from tranquility and death.

Yet, behind that calmness, there was a rumble.

Something greater than the rolling waves.

Something darker than the pitch of night.

Reiji was gathering chakra in immense quantities.

Silently, without anyone noticing.

The chakra flowed through Reiji's body like an invisible river, permeating every cell, filling the void with energy ready to explode at any moment.

Reiji's right hand slowly clenched.

At that moment, the air around Reiji began to vibrate, dancing like flames touched by the wind.

On the still surface of the sea, a thin whirlpool emerged—a subtle movement invisible to the naked eye.

Only Reiji knew, only Reiji felt it: a power flowing within him, a potential just waiting to be unleashed.

Where Reiji chose to distance himself from the enemy ships.

Reiji did this not out of fear.

But because Reiji knew, in this silence, there were greater advantages.

With each passing second, the gathered chakra grew stronger.

And the distance Reiji took gave him space to prepare.

In the midst of that silence, the sounds from the enemy forces began to be heard, like the rumble of the sky preceding thunder.

"Wind Ninjutsu: Great Wind Storm!"

The shout from a ninja of Sunagakure thundered, followed by the whistling of wind that began to swirl rapidly over the sea.

A giant whirlpool appeared, dragging everything nearby into the abyss of destruction.

"Wind Ninjutsu: Spinning Wind Spear!"

Sharp wind spears, as sharp as polished knives, shot toward Reiji.

The air vibrated with tremendous power, creating a piercing whine that tortured the ears.

"Wind Ninjutsu: Rising Wind Whirlpool!"

With these words, a massive wind whirlpool lifted into the sky, turning the blue sky into a grim gray.

As if nature itself was joining the battle.

Yet Reiji stood still, not moving an inch.

Like a lion waiting for the right moment.

But the attack was just the beginning.

The sound of explosions began to echo from another direction.

"Fire Ninjutsu: Fire Bird!"

Amidst the blazing flames, the form of a giant bird appeared, flapping its wings in a flash of terrifying red light.

"Fire Ninjutsu: Blazing Fire Light!"

A massive flame shot into the sky, like a bolt of fire tearing through everything in its path.

"Fire Ninjutsu: Fire Dragon!"

Then, a blazing fire dragon appeared on the horizon, roaring with a voice that could split the earth.

The body of the fire dragon twisted, spreading and spewing fire in all directions, approaching Reiji with terrifying speed.

But that was still not enough.

At the same time, another voice echoed around them.

"Water Ninjutsu: Water Gun!"

From the enemy ships, high-pressure jets of water shot toward Reiji, as fast as bullets fired from a gun.

"Water Ninjutsu: Flowing Water Spray!"

A massive river of water surged, pushing everything in its path, ready to destroy.

"Water Ninjutsu: Water Dragon!"

A giant water dragon, its body shimmering under the sunlight, rampaged toward Reiji with the power to sink the entire fleet.

But that was not enough.

The storm was still not finished.

"Wind Ninjutsu: Three Wind Claws!"

"Three wind claws"—the voice came, and with it appeared three slashes of wind spinning with terrifying speed and power.
