Chapter 25: The Water Escape Secret Technique of the Kizuna Clan!

Uehara Shu closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

After a while, he opened them.

He made a seal again.

"Water escape, water clone technique!"

The water clone appeared exactly the same as before.

But this time, Uehara Shu's seal was simplified by one third.

He only used two-thirds of the seal to complete the water clone ninjutsu.

"Not bad!"

For ninjas, seals are a very important part.

Most ninjutsu require seals.

And there are two problems with seals.

One is that seals take time.

The other is that the opponent can judge the ninjutsu that the ninja will use next through seals.

A typical example of this is Kakashi in the original plot.

Use the Sharingan to observe the opponent's seals and chakra.

So as to judge what kind of ninjutsu the opponent will use next.

Then, relying on the faster speed and the observation and copying ability of the Sharingan, he uses the same ninjutsu as the opponent.

Although it is a late seal, Kakashi's ninjutsu often appears at the same time as the opponent's ninjutsu.

This is the main reason why Kakashi is called a copy ninja.

This is also one of the reasons why bloodline ninjas are generally considered stronger than ordinary ninjas.

Many bloodline ninjutsu do not require seals and can be used directly.

Instant in one second.

Simplifying the seals and shortening the speed of attack can improve the strength of the ninja.

Very direct and effective.

After all, in the battle between ninjas, in addition to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, when two ninjas with similar strength fight, details often determine the outcome.

In this world, many ninjas have invested in research in this area.

Some studies are about how to seal faster.

Some studies are about simplifying the complexity of seals.

Some ninjas have achieved results.

For example, Uchiha Itachi's six seals in one second.

Another example is the simplification of the 44 seals of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique by high-level Mist Hidden Ninja.

But in order for the Kirigakure ninja to do this, in addition to his excellent water escape talent, he also needed to undergo a lot of hard training and practice, and spend a lot of effort.

And Uehara Shu did not undergo any training or practice in this regard.

This is the effect of a pure, perfect water escape talent.

"Moreover, simplifying one-third of the seals is just the beginning."

"Continue to practice and get familiar with it. Based on this feeling, I should be able to continue to simplify the seals of the Water Clone Technique."

Uehara Shu imagined the application of this in his mind.

First, the simplified seals bring faster attack speed.

One step faster, then every step faster.

Second, even if the opponent is the owner of the Sharingan, it is difficult to observe his complete seals.

Third, this can be used to create information gaps.

For example, first pretend that you need to seal all the seals to use the ninjutsu, and when the critical moment comes, you can complete the ninjutsu with half of the seals, which can catch the opponent off guard.

"Water escape, Mist Hidden Technique."

"Water escape, Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water escape, Water Prison Technique!"

"Water escape, Water Fang Bullet Technique!"

"Water escape, Water Array Wall Technique!"

Uehara Shu used all the water escape ninjutsu he had learned.

The result made Uehara Shu very satisfied.

"When I was an excellent water escape talent, Senior Juzo said that my water escape talent was no less than his."

"Now my water escape talent has become perfect, and it has been qualitatively improved."

"In other words, my water escape talent should be better than most ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village."

"As long as I work hard, it won't be difficult to become a top water escape ninja."

Uehara Shu looked at the target opposite, which had been destroyed by his ninjutsu.

"However, to become a top water escape ninja, in addition to having a high enough talent and enough effort, possessing water escape ninjutsu is also a very important part."

"This is not an easy thing."

The importance of technique to ninjas is self-evident.

But in this world, the ninja circle has a very serious phenomenon of cherishing what they have.

It doesn't mean that you can learn any ninjutsu you want.

Konoha, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sand Village, Mist Village... all are like this.

Minato Namikaze was qualified to learn the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique before becoming Hokage and Konoha's top leaders because he married Uzumaki Kushina.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo relied on their own status in Konoha.

There are many water-style ninjutsu, which are divided into several systems.

But there are not so many powerful water-style ninjutsu.

The water-style ninjutsu of Rain Village, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure are not mentioned.

In Uehara Osamu's opinion, there are only two real top-level water-style ninjutsu systems.

One is the water-style ninjutsu system created by Senju Tobirama.

However, this is Konoha's water-style ninjutsu, and in Uehara Osamu's case, it is impossible to get it in a short time.

The other is the water-style ninjutsu system of Mist Village.

The water ninjutsu system of the Hidden Mist Village is divided into several aspects.

Conventional water ninjutsu represented by the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Shark and Shark Water ninjutsu of the Hoshigaki clan.

Secret Water ninjutsu of the Hozuki clan.

…

At present, the only thing that Uehara Shu can access is the conventional water escape of the Hidden Mist Village, because that is all that Biwa Juzo knows.

Uehara Shu is not that interested in the Shark Water Escape of the Hoshigaki clan.

What Uehara Shu wants more is the secret water escape of the Hozuki clan.

But as a non-Hozuki clan member, it is very difficult to obtain the qualifications to learn these water escapes.

In the original plot, even the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura and the fifth generation Mizukage Terumi Mei did not have them.

Such family secrets are difficult to be passed on, just like the family secrets of Konoha's Ino-Shika-cho.

The shadow secrets of the Nara clan.

The mind-reading secrets of the Yamanaka clan.

The multiplication technique of the Akimichi clan.

They are all circulated only among the members of their own family and will never be leaked to outsiders.

Uehara Shu does not think that no one else can learn it except the members of their family. This is not a bloodline limit, it is just a secret technique.

In fact, the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique is also a family secret technique of this kind.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Shimura Danzo, and even Kakashi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru... these people can learn and use it.

It's nothing more than that Ino-Shika-Chou still exists, while the Uzumaki clan has been exterminated.

Uehara Osamu looked in the direction of Hozuki Island.

"I remember that in the original plot, the future Hozuki clan declined greatly."

"After the second generation of Mizukage, the strongest genius of the Hozuki clan, Hozuki Mangetsu, who can perfectly control the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist, finally appeared, but died early."

"And Hozuki Mangetsu's younger brother, Hozuki Suigetsu, became one of Orochimaru's test subjects."
