Chapter 272: Water Transmutation Technique = Elemental Transmutation?
Chapter 272: Water Transmutation Technique = Elemental Transmutation?
Pfft! Pfft!
Amidst the continuous sound of blades piercing flesh, the figures rushing towards Uchiha Meika all fell to the ground.
You must be joking!
Do you think ninjas are saints or something?
Ninjas are, without a doubt, a violent profession.
For ninjas, killing, gathering intelligence, and the like are all part of their job description.
Take the Leaf Village Security Force, for example; they waste their time dealing with trivial matters daily.
So it's no wonder these Uchiha ninjas acted so swiftly; they couldn't afford to let Uchiha Meika take such a risk.
If there were assassins or the like hiding among these people, there would be countless ways to assassinate her at such close range using ninja techniques.
Therefore, even when Lantern Moon discovered the situation was amiss, he didn't dare make a rash move.
Because at such a critical moment, any hasty action could easily trigger an unintended reaction.
Don't underestimate the situation; in the cruel and dangerous world of the Shinobi, a ninja who isn't vigilant enough might find their grave overgrown with grass.
"It's a misunderstanding!"
Lantern Moon, drenched in cold sweat, explained, not wanting to sever the last resort of his clan.
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Meika released her right hand from the sword hilt, signaling to the clan members beside her to remain calm.
It was no wonder she was so cautious.
Who knew if the other party might suddenly change their minds and sell them out?
Such a scenario wasn't impossible.
Even if they could trust Lantern Moon, it didn't mean they could trust these refugees.
"This was just an accident!"
Lantern Moon could only offer a forced explanation.
Moreover, he could understand why the other party reacted so strongly.
He had to understand; otherwise, they would be willing to return to the Mist Hidden Village to face death.
"It's best if it's a misunderstanding; I just hope such misunderstandings won't happen again!"
Uchiha Meika's gaze turned inward.
Before the plan began, they had already reached an unspoken agreement.
Although the annexation of the Lantern Clan would benefit the Heavenly Fortress, if something went wrong, they would rather annihilate the clan than absorb them.
After all, self-sacrifice schemes weren't unheard of in the Shinobi world.
Subsequently, due to the bloodshed, the boarding process went extremely smoothly, and in less than an hour, over 1,500 people had boarded the ship.
It must be said that sometimes a knife is indeed more useful than words.
Squeak!
The sails unfurled in the gentle breeze, propelling the ship away from the island swiftly.
Half a day later.
A squad from the Mist Hidden Village's Shadow Unit arrived at the island and found traces of over a thousand people's stay.
"Search! They wouldn't have disappeared without a reason; stop all suspicious ships!"
The Shadow Unit leader immediately began giving orders.
A dense net was cast.
Unfortunately, the fish had already swum far away, and even with the net, there was no chance of discovery.
What about the Heavenly Fortress's fleet?
According to the intelligence, they had only passed by from over a hundred nautical miles away; it was impossible for them to have reached here.
With prior preparation and the use of illusions to erase the memories of those encountered along the way, the fleet managed to discreetly retrieve the people without anyone noticing.
Land of Rivers, River Heart Island!
"What's going on? Why aren't they here yet?"
Scarlet Lotus, growing impatient, threw the stone in her hand into the seawater.
At this moment, she was entirely a hot-tempered young girl, completely different from the calm and gentle young lady in the original timeline.
But this might be a good thing.
With that personality, who knew how much torment she had endured to become who she was.
"They might have encountered rough seas on the way!"
Hyuga Cangyue soothed her gently.
For Scarlet Lotus, whom they had taken in, she had taken a liking to her and often cared for her, which was why the younger girl called her 'sister' so sweetly.
If it were Dong Ping, he wouldn't have called her 'Big Sis'.
"That ice cube..." Scarlet Lotus was about to call her by her nickname, but Hyuga Cangyue's gaze stopped her, and she quickly changed her words, "She's been running for so long, and she's still late. She's too incompetent. I should've followed her!"
Well, she didn't object to that.
After all, the other party was her dear Cangyue sister's arch-nemesis, so she naturally had to side with her sister and couldn't be a traitor.
"They're here!"
Dong Ping's voice interrupted the two.
He didn't want to hear another word from Scarlet Lotus about 'defying the heavens'.
It had to be said, the other party was truly reckless.
Ever since formally joining the Security Force, their style was as 'bold' as Konoha's Azuki, speaking their mind without restraint.
"Why are you so invested this time?"
Hyuga Cangyue looked at the ship fleet appearing in the distance and curiously asked Dong Ping.
Because he could have waited for news at the Heavenly Fortress, but he insisted on coming here.
She didn't think the Lantern Clan had this kind of influence.
Not right!
There should have been in the past, but now, apart from the Moonlit Lantern, the rest didn't even have a few Genin, and there was no need for him to come and greet them.
"It's the Water Transmutation Technique!"
Dong Ping blurted out the answer.
Yes, he waited here to obtain this secret technique first.
"Water Transmutation Technique?"
Hyuga Cangyue thought for a moment and felt that this technique sounded powerful, but in her opinion, it was just so-so.
Water Transmutation Technique!
It was a technique that turned one's body into water, which could be extremely useful in combat and stealth operations.
It sounded good, but it was far from reaching the level of making someone unable to wait even a moment, wanting to obtain it at the first opportunity.
If it were another secret technique, 'Steam Hazard Explosive', she thought it would be more appropriate.
Steam Hazard Explosive!
This was an S-class Forbidden Technique, comparable to the Dust Jutsu.
"Yes, this is a technique with limitless potential!"
Dong Ping spoke mysteriously, keeping them in suspense.
It wasn't that he wanted to be enigmatic, but he felt it would be more interesting to directly present the results after he succeeded.
Yes, in his opinion, the Water Transmutation Technique was very similar to an overpowered ability he had seen in a certain anime before his transmigration.
Elemental Transmutation! If water could be transmuted, why not lava?
It just so happened to correspond with the abilities of a certain 'Dog' he had been imitating recently.
The other party's techniques and abilities were very similar to his Melting Jutsu, and he could definitely draw some inspiration from them.
With Elemental Transmutation, his survival abilities would instantly soar, and even when facing powerful enemies, he would have a chance to turn the tables and defeat them.
It would be like when the other party stabbed him through the heart with a kunai, and then he casually countered and killed them.
Thinking about that scene was amusing.
Several dozen minutes later.
Slap! The gangplank was lowered, and Uchiha Meika led her team down from the deck.
Moonlit Lantern followed behind the group.
It seemed that he had realized his position.
From now on, he was no longer the young clan leader of the Lantern Clan but a member of the Security Force of the Heavenly Fortress.
An excellent choice, at least it would put Dong Ping and the others at ease when using them.
"Sir Dong Ping, here are the Lantern Clan's ninjutsu and summoning scrolls!"
Moonlit Lantern was very sensible and followed the agreement, offering the requested items with both hands, even including a summoning scroll as a bonus.
The Lantern Clan was currently like meat on a chopping board, so it was natural to be sensible.
"As long as the Lantern Clan abides by the agreement, I will protect you!"
Dong Ping made a promise after receiving the items.
The three conditions from the beginning.
Now that he had obtained what he wanted, the remaining conditions were to not use the Lantern Clan's name for ten years and to ensure their clan rules did not exceed his own.
"From today onwards, there is no longer a Lantern Clan!"
Moonlit Lantern... no, from now on, his name was simply Moon, without the clan name.
"That's good. I believe you will never regret this choice!"
Dong Ping confidently assured him.
Living in the barren land of the Mist Hidden Village, even the three great ninja clans struggled, eating fish every day until they were sick of it.
But under his command, not only was the environment free of the damp mist, but the food was also abundant and colorful, with a plentiful supply of various goods, ensuring they would never yearn for their old life.
After finishing his assurance, Dong Ping had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to win them over. He wasn't one for empty words, always preferring to take action. He immediately returned to the Heavenly Fortress.
With the Water Transmutation Technique obtained, it was time for the overpowered secret technique, Elemental Transmutation, to make its debut.
