Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"What's going on?" Kisame, standing on the ship, frowned instantly, keenly sensing that the tremors beneath his feet were becoming increasingly intense.

"The river surface! The river surface has cracked open!" a Hidden Mist ninja shouted in terror.

"What?" Kisame reacted quickly, instantly appearing at the edge of the warship. Looking down, he saw that the once calm river surface below the Kirigakure fleet had suddenly cracked open from the middle, as if it had been cleaved in two by an invisible giant blade.

The river water surged out of the crack like a wild horse, forming two huge waterfalls that roared down.

As time went on, the crack continued to widen, clearly indicating that Iwagakure intended to bury them at the bottom of the river and eliminate some of the warships.

However, this method... Kisame smiled coldly and formed hand seals together with the Hidden Mist ninja on the warship.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A powerful current of water, enough to create an ocean on land, filled the abyss like surging waves, quickly filling the kilometer-deep abyss, and the warships were no longer affected.

Seeing this, Huang Tu was not discouraged at all. He raised his palm and swung it down hard: "Go!" Amid the roar of cannons from both sides, countless Iwa ninjas rushed from the land to the warship like a surging tide, shouting as they charged toward the enemy's position.

"Use the Hidden Mist Technique!" Yagura's gaze was icy cold as he decisively gave the order.

He knew very well that he could not subdue the Land of Earth simply by relying on warships.

Ninjutsu is the foundation of a ninja's survival and combat. If the Mist Ninja were to abandon their proficient ninjutsu and rely solely on cumbersome weapons like chakra cannons to fight against the Iwa Ninja, it would be tantamount to cutting off their own limbs and being extremely foolish.

With their ability to capture large summoning beasts and their natural advantage of being near the sea, Kirigakure has accumulated rich experience in sea and river battles. In addition, with their expertise in water-style techniques, Iwagakure is no match for them here!

With a deep command from Yagura, thousands of people simultaneously unleashed the Mist Concealment Technique, and thick fog instantly rose from the sea, spreading rapidly like surging clouds and enveloping the entire battlefield.

The already oppressive battlefield was completely disrupted by the Mist Concealment Technique. The thick, ink-like mist, like a ferocious beast, instantly engulfed the entire battlefield, burying all clear images within it.

The view that had previously allowed for a glimpse of the enemy's position was now completely cut off, leaving only a vast expanse of white all around, as if stepping into a chaotic and unknown alternate dimension.

"Everyone, be on alert!" Huang Tu realized the situation had suddenly changed, his face ashen, and immediately issued a deep warning, his voice echoing in the mist, carrying a sense of solemnity and urgency.

With so many Hidden Mist ninjas casting their spells simultaneously, and on this canal, with layers upon layers of mist, dispelling it would be no easy task.

The Iwa ninja acted swiftly, groping their way through the mist to find their companions. They stood back to back, cautiously advancing forward, each step taken with utmost care.

Its eyes were fixed on its surroundings, and its ears were perked up, catching the slightest sound.

The Hidden Mist Technique is the signature technique of the Hidden Mist Village. Within this mist, the Hidden Mist ninjas are like ghosts hidden in the darkness, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making them impossible to guard against.

The Iwa ninja, on the other hand, were like blindfolded caged beasts, their movements severely restricted.

Back in the day, during the Second Kage's era, the Land of Earth and the Hidden Mist Village were mortal enemies. The Iwa ninja were quite skilled in the Hidden Mist Techniques, and in terms of how to fight on the Hidden Mist's home turf, they were no less capable than the Hidden Leaf Village.

But who could have imagined that fortunes would turn around like this, and now Kirigakure has directly attacked their doorstep. Moreover, the young master who was once a formidable rival of the Second Mizukage has now become their enemy. The ways of the world are truly unpredictable.

Just as the Iwa ninjas were on edge, a strange sound suddenly came from beneath the misty canal, like the whispers of countless wronged souls, or the murmurs of some giant beast in its slumber.

"Watch out, it's a summoning beast horde from Kirigakure!" a sensory ninja suddenly shouted a warning, his voice tinged with fear.

His voice was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the oppressive silence.

The surface of the canal rippled violently in an instant, as if a huge sea monster was churning and splashing underwater, making a "whoosh" sound.

The next moment, water sprayed into the sky, and several huge summoning beasts suddenly leaped out of the water. They were enormous, with ferocious faces, gaping mouths, and sharp fangs, rushing straight at the terrified sensory ninja.

These spirit beasts exuded a powerful aura, causing the mist to churn and swirl wherever they went.

"Dust Release, Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

"Dust Release, Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

At this critical moment, several dazzling white lights shot down from the sky like lightning, carrying a world-destroying momentum, and transformed into huge cube-shaped pillars of light, precisely covering an area in front.

Wherever the white light touched, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a "sizzling" sound.

With a deafening roar, the beam of light crashed down, instantly disintegrating everything in its path.

Solid rocks were easily sliced ​​into pieces like tofu; surging water evaporated instantly under the impact of the beam of light.

Even the summoning beasts that the Hidden Mist ninjas were so proud of were as fragile as paper in the face of this indestructible Dust Release, their bodies being disintegrated bit by bit and turned into nothingness.

The area covered by the beam of light completely stripped away the river's surface, forming a huge, bottomless void that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

The sensory ninja watched as the sea shark, so close to him, was dismembered, and a wave of fear washed over him; cold sweat soaked his back.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, still feeling a lingering sense of relief, and cast a grateful glance at the sky.

However, the clone using Dust Release didn't even glance at him, as if he were nothing but air, and turned and left.

The sensory ninja reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Although he felt a little disappointed, he knew that this was not the time to dwell on such things. He looked at his companion two meters away, and the two exchanged a glance, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes, before continuing to advance.

The Hidden Mist's new tactics are indeed impressive; they can turn the battlefield into an ocean at any time, putting the Iwa ninja on the defensive.

But they had nowhere left to retreat to; the capital of the Land of Earth lay behind them, their homeland, the place of their dignity.

They absolutely cannot stand by and watch the Hidden Mist Village occupy the capital of the Land of Earth; otherwise, the Land of Earth will lose face and will never be able to hold its head high in the ninja world again.

After all, in the history of the ninja world, there are only a handful of instances where a major country has been occupied by an enemy country, only twice.

One was a civil war in the Land of Fire, and the other was the partitioning of the Land of Wind.

The consequence of these two capitals being occupied was that the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind changed hands.

In the eyes of the ninja world, the change of power in the capital of a great nation is now seen as a sign of its impending doom.

Most Iwa ninja did not want to personally experience the pain and humiliation of losing their country. They had only one belief in their hearts: to fight to the end and protect their homeland!

Not many summoned beasts were hit by Dust Release, after all, the number of Dust Release clones was limited.

As they continued their activities, some powerful figures from the Hidden Mist Village also set their sights on them.

No. 19 moved with lightning speed, nimbly weaving through the mist and easily dodging a giant ice spike.

He stopped and looked in the direction from which the attack came, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

"Ice Release, the Mizuki clan?" he muttered to himself.

"Your Dust Release doesn't seem to be as strong as that old man Onoki's." A clear voice rang out, and Rin Mizuki smiled as she stepped onto the ice. Her movements were light and graceful, like a fairy dancing in the air.

The water surface she walked on was instantly covered by a thin layer of ice, making a "crackling" sound.

She crossed her arms, a hint of defiance in her eyes, and looked at No. 19.

"That's enough to deal with you." No.19 sneered, his voice as cold as the wind in the night, carrying undisguised contempt.

His gaze swept quickly across the battlefield, catching sight of his comrades being tightly surrounded like wolves by the powerful members of the Hozuki, Minazuki, and Kaguya clans. His eyes instantly darkened, becoming as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

If we disregard the Uchiha clan, who produced three Mangekyou Sharingan in a row, the Kirigakure clans, with their bloodline limits and secret techniques, are indeed not much inferior to Konoha in terms of foundation and strength.

Furthermore, with the proper development of marine resources, the Land of Water has now become the second strongest nation in the ninja world, after the Land of Snow and the Land of Fire.

No.19 couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Had he compromised with Onoki too soon?

On the other side, without the Dust Release clones to quickly deal with those ferocious summoning beasts, the Iwa ninjas seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, unable to move an inch.

With each deafening roar, as if from hell itself, the atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became tense and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

The crab brandished its enormous pincers, making a "crackling" sound, as if it wanted to crush everything in its path.

The sea serpent twisted its thick body, moving like a black lightning bolt.

The electric eel twists its thunderous body, combining lightning and water to strike directly. Lightning flashes on the water's surface, and any rock spirit that falls into the water is instantly paralyzed by the electricity and can only wait to die.

The giant whale's massive body is like a moving mountain, and every sway of its body stirs up towering waves.

Giant, magical beasts slowly emerged from the seabed, their massive bodies blotting out the sky and inspiring awe.

"—Awooo!" Not only the giant summoned beasts with huge bodies, but also the small summoned beasts, as agile and fierce as small sharks and as cunning and treacherous as venomous snakes, also emerged from all directions like a tide.

They were so densely packed that it seemed as if the entire battlefield had been submerged by these terrifying creatures.

They roared in unison, their terrifying aura pressing down on the Iwa ninja like a surging tide.

Some ninjas instinctively took a step back, swallowed hard, and their eyes were filled with fear and tension.

Chapter 214 Brutal War

"How come Kirigakure has so many summoning beasts?"

"So many aquatic spirit beasts, and giant ones at that..."

Huang Tu stood on the warship, looking at the densely packed, black tide-like horde of spirit beasts on the river. His expression became extremely solemn, like a heavy block of lead.

He was well aware that this would be an unprecedented and fierce battle.

"Summon the golem to clear the way! Ninjas who know the Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique, coordinate with the golem! Keep the chakra cannons going!" Huang Tu decisively ordered.

Previously, due to the intense fighting between the two sides, their chakra cannons had been put on hold to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces.

But given the current dire situation, which is as severe as a storm, we must use the chakra cannon to clear the way.

"Sameki Senshi!"

As soon as Huang Tu finished speaking, as if in response to his command, 1000 small sharks formed from chakra leaped out of the water like black ghosts, their gaping maws and sharp fangs lunging at Huang Tu, instantly devouring him.

However, when everyone saw that no blood flowed from the water shark that had eaten him, and only some soil fell down, they knew that the yellow soil was just a clone of earth.

Kisame, who had jumped off the warship, raised an eyebrow at the sight, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Then, he dodged the rock spear that came from a blind spot with the speed of a ghost.

"As expected of the second-in-command of Iwagakure, it seems dealing with you will be a bit difficult." Kisame's lips curled up slightly, revealing a provocative smile.

Huangtu slowly rose from the water, squinted, and coldly stared at Kisame, "The tailless tailed beast—Kisame?"

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. He had absolutely no confidence in defeating the guy in front of him on this water.

But at this moment, he could not back down in the slightest.

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!" The thought had barely formed in his mind when Huang Tu flew up without hesitation, his hands quickly forming hand seals to unleash Earth Release.

Sharp rock pillars, like black spears, pierced Kisame from the ground, carrying immense power and a whooshing sound.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!" Kisame reacted extremely quickly, forming hand seals in an instant. A huge water dragon leaped out of the water, its massive body and scales gleaming with a cold light. With its gaping maw, it slammed into the rock pillar.

In an instant, a violent shockwave erupted, splashing water everywhere like a dazzling firework.

The rocks cracked and popped.

The two quickly created a battlefield on the water, and the surrounding ninjas dared not approach, as if it were a forbidden zone of death.

……

While Huang Tu and Kisame were locked in fierce combat, the Golem Legion appeared on the front line like an iron torrent.

They were enormous, exuding a cold aura, and worked with the Iwa ninja to use Earth Release techniques to reclaim land from the sea.
