"Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique!"
"Earth Release: Moving Earth Core!"
"Earth Release: Earth Hole Cut!"
The surviving Iwa-nin quickly used their Earth Release techniques, opening underground tunnels.
After regrouping, they combined their Earth Release techniques to carve through the ground, creating an enormous artificial underground passageway that rapidly extended toward Minato and his team.
Of course, none of this escaped Renzo's keen perception.
"Minato-sensei! Retreat! The enemy is coming from underground!"
He immediately warned Minato and the others, stopping his lightning attack at the same time.
Minato and his team instantly became alert, using the Body Flicker Technique to retreat swiftly.
"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"
Renzo quickly formed a seal with one hand and stomped his left foot on the ground.
A massive earthen wall, over a hundred meters thick, shot up from the ground, carrying him more than twenty meters into the air.
"As expected, without an affinity for Earth Release, using these techniques drains too much chakra."
It consumed nearly three times the chakra compared to his Lightning, Fire, and Water techniques, and the difficulty in control was several times higher.
"Huh? What's Renzo planning?"
Minato and his team had just retreated when they noticed Renzo's movements. Exchanging glances, they leaped onto the earthen wall and stood beside him.
Before they could ask, Renzo had already formed another seal. He stomped his left foot again, sending a surge of chakra into the earth beneath them.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"
Renzo cast the Swamp of the Underworld technique, causing the ground beneath the Iwa-nin to instantly soften and collapse.
"Not good! Get out of there, quick!"
The experienced Jōnin among the Iwa-nin immediately sensed the danger and gave the order.
"Earth Release: Mud Wall."
Some tried to block the sinking mud, while others used their chakra to elevate the ground beneath them, allowing them to escape the swamp and reappear before Renzo and his team.
At this point, the remaining Iwa Jōnin and Special Jōnin numbered over ten, while the Chūnin had been decimated, leaving fewer than fifty.
This demonstrated just how terrifying Renzo's earlier lightning attack had been—an overwhelming Heaven's Judgment that had wiped out scores of enemies.
As the Iwa-nin emerged from underground, preparing to launch an attack, Renzo gave them no chance.
Taking a deep breath, he exhaled forcefully towards the battlefield.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
In the next moment, an enormous volume of water surged from Renzo's mouth, transformed from chakra.
A torrential flood cascaded downward like an unstoppable tide, engulfing the Iwa-nin beneath.
Within seconds, the entire battlefield, spanning hundreds of meters, was submerged, and the water continued to expand.
"Nooo!!!"
"Help! I can't swim!"
The overwhelming flood scattered the Iwa-nin, and the unfortunate ones were crushed by the swirling currents and the immense water pressure, their bodies swept away.
Most of the Iwa-nin were flung in all directions, struggling to stay afloat.
"Lightning Release: Kirin!"
At this moment, Renzo unleashed his final move.
The remaining lightning within the storm clouds gathered into a single, monstrous entity.
"ROAR!!!"
A massive lightning dragon's head emerged from the storm clouds above, its body crackling with intensely concentrated purple lightning.
"Go!"
With Renzo's command, the lightning dragon roared and dove from the clouds, streaking towards the flooded battlefield in an instant.
Zzzzzzt!
A deafening electrical crackle erupted as the lightning struck, followed by a thunderous explosion. In an instant, the entire water-covered battlefield was consumed in a sea of blue lightning.
Where the Kirin landed, the highly concentrated lightning energy detonated violently, delivering a second wave of destruction to any survivors.
The explosion blasted apart the water's surface, evaporating vast amounts into steam that rose into the air.
Even the ground wasn't spared—a massive crater, over a hundred meters in diameter, was left in the wake of the explosion.
Minato: "..."
Kakashi: "..."
Obito: "..."
Kurenai: "..."
The entire group stared at the scene in stunned silence.
Renzo collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, after using his sensory abilities to confirm that there were no surviving Iwa-nin within several kilometers.
"Damn, I'm exhausted! That was insane chakra consumption!"
Despite possessing chakra reserves equivalent to a tenth of Shukaku's, he was nearly drained dry!
The main culprit was the two powerful lightning techniques and the large-scale Swamp of the Underworld technique, which had consumed an enormous amount of chakra.
Controlling such a vast amount of natural lightning while ensuring precise targeting required an insane amount of chakra.
On top of that, Earth Release wasn't his natural affinity, meaning its chakra consumption was even greater. He had also expanded its range by infusing more chakra.
Ironically, the Great Waterfall Technique had consumed the least chakra, barely one-fiftieth of his reserves.
"As expected, Aqua's top-tier water element affinity is ridiculously useful! Converting and gathering water takes almost no effort!"
Renzo mused that he might as well call himself a "Sea Release" ninja at this point.
"I should find a way to exchange merit points for some high-level Water Release techniques."
He made a mental note.
Right now, he didn't have many powerful Water Release jutsu.
Most of them were copied from Kirigakure ninja using his Sharingan while completing missions at the Mist Village frontlines.
Of course, he still believed that the real Water Release master was the Second Hokage.
Techniques like Water Severing Wave, Hard Whirlpool Water Blade, Water Trumpet, Water Dragon Bullet, Explosive Bite of the Water Dragon, Water Colliding Wave, and Heavenly Weeping...
Sometimes, Renzo couldn't help but joke—was Tobirama sure he wasn't a Mizukage? His Water Release techniques were stronger than any of the actual Mizukage!
"Hsss!!!"
At that moment, the sound of several people sucking in cold air pulled Renzo's attention back.
He looked up to see Minato and the others staring at him with complex expressions.
"Uh… Renzo…"
Renzo blinked in confusion.
Minato gave him a thumbs-up, smiling. "That was incredible!"
Before, Minato thought Renzo had already grown strong.
But now, he realized he had completely underestimated him.
This level of ninjutsu mastery, battle strategy, and technique synchronization was something only elite Jōnin—or even higher-level fighters—could achieve.
"Heh, I'm nothing compared to you, Minato-sensei."
Renzo chuckled. "I saw it myself. Before I even attacked, you already took down twenty-four Jōnin, nine Special Jōnin, and multiple Chūnin."
"Haha!" Minato laughed. "That was just brute force. Your techniques were on another level!"
Kakashi groaned. "Can you two stop complimenting each other? You're both monsters!"
Kakashi couldn't help but complain. He used to be hailed as Konoha's number one genius, but now it all seemed like a load of crap!
"Especially you!" Kakashi said, glancing at Renzo with a rare mix of admiration and jealousy. "Just how much chakra do you have? I bet even Minato-sensei doesn't have as much as you. Otherwise, how could you continuously pull off such big techniques?"
Kakashi thought that Renzo's terrifying combat prowess wasn't just about his innate fighting talent or his extraordinary chakra control—it was all about the sheer volume of chakra he could muster.
If only Kakashi had even half—no, even one-tenth—of Renzo's chakra, he'd be happy for life!
