Boom!!
The female ninja's figure instantly flew backward for dozens of meters, smashing into the distant stream like a cannonball. While causing massive water waves, it also significantly reduced the impact.
However, even so, when the female ninja, in a sorry state, crawled out of the water, her right hand, previously holding a kunai, not only continued to bleed profusely but also revealed traces of blood on corners of her mouth.
"So terrifying brute force, it actually shattered the kunai."
With chakra attached to her feet, the missing-nin half-floated on the water, looking at the tall figure of Vergo on the duck cage. Her eyes were full of shock and wariness.
His speed was comparable to advanced Body Flicker Technique!
Power capable of shattering steel!
And attacks resembling samurai sword techniques!
Where did this monster-like guy come from?
'Damn! That guy didn't mention encountering such a strong opponent in the mission...'
Thinking of the information provided by the employer, the renegade ninja cursed softly, wiping the bloodstains from her mouth.
Then, without hesitation, she turned around and swiftly fled.
After all, she took this mission essentially for money, without risking her own life.
After the brief exchange just now, she had completely realized the gap between herself and the opponent.
She was just an elite Chunin, yet even when she was in the Mist Village, those Jonin couldn't give her such a strong sense of oppression and danger!
Her intuition told her that if the fight continued!
She would die miserably!
'So there's a strong person of this level following him. That's why that brat faced me with such confidence earlier?'
Running at full speed alongside a small stream, the missing-nin muttered to herself.
Suddenly.
The sound of air bursting reached the female shinobi's ears from behind, making her instinctively turn her head for a glance.
Instantly, her pupils contracted sharply.
Because, in her line of sight.
Vergo, who was originally standing on the carriage, seemed to be flying in the air, accompanied by the bursting sound of air. A white air wave exploded under his feet, and he chased after her like a projectile.
"This can't be?! Flying through the air with the help of air pressure? Is this guy a monster?!"
The missing-nin was filled with shock and despair.
The intense visual impact even made her Chakra under her feet unstable, almost causing her to fall into the water.
After all, in her understanding, flying by treading on air was unheard of, not just in the Land of Water, but in the entire ninja world!
"Damn! If this continues, I'll be caught soon!"
Gritting her teeth, the female ninja, drawing from her combat experience, made an instant judgment.
With her high-speed moving figure unchanged, she raised her hands, transforming into residual images while running and forming hand seals.
Five seconds later.
The female ninja suddenly turned around, facing Vergo, who was now only twenty meters away. Hurriedly, she formed hand seals.
The Chakra inside her was quickly depleting!
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
The female shinobi stared at Vergo, yelling with her last strength.
The next moment.
Splash!
The fine rain in the area of several hundred meters suddenly disappeared, all the moisture evaporated. A massive water flow gushed out in front of the female ninja, forming a giant waterfall with a diameter of dozens of meters.
Then, it suddenly erupted.
Vergo's eyes under the sunglasses slightly opened, watching the colossal water tornado spinning and rapidly approaching in the forest. A thunderous roar!
A water tornado, over thirty meters high and several dozens of meters long, ravaged the mountain forest. Countless trees and even rocks were swept into it, then shattered under the terrifying water pressure.
The attack lasted for nearly ten seconds.
After everything calmed down, a small lake appeared in the now devastated forest.
"Haha..."
Standing on the water with the last bit of Chakra, the missing-nin, panting heavily, looked ahead where Vergo's trace had completely disappeared.
"Did the waterfall wash him away?"
The missing-nin muttered to herself, her tense body gradually relaxing.
As a Chunin, this was her only mastered A-rank ninjutsu!
A-rank ninjutsu possessed a scale and destructive power comparable to natural disasters. Although the Great Waterfall Technique wasn't the most powerful Water Release technique, any ninja facing this move head-on would be unlikely to remain standing without severe injuries.
"Even that guy couldn't possibly come out unscathed from this move, right?"
The missing-nin, with her hurried breath slowly calming, felt a bit more confident for the first time.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided it was best to leave quickly.
However,
Just as the missing-nin had slightly recovered some Chakra and was preparing to leave.
Boom!
In the distance, under the massive water flow, the piled-up fragments of trees and rocks exploded.
The towering, now completely black figure of Vergo appeared in the renegade ninja's eyes.
"That hurts..."
From top to bottom, starting with his body and ending with his clothes, a metallic black gloss slowly peeled off Vergo's body. Twisting his neck, Vergo uttered his first words in this world.
Then, looking at the pale-faced missing-nin with an expressionless face, he said, "Is this your full power? Let me end this boring fight."
A white vortex was left behind in place as Vergo's tall figure instantly appeared in front of the female shinobi, looking down on her.
Locked in eye contact, the missing-nin finally showed a look of fear in her eyes.
"Wait." The female shinobi, panicking, tried to speak.
"Spear Point."
The sound of air being torn apart echoed.
The missing-nin's voice abruptly stopped, and a blood flower bloomed from her chest. With a bewildered expression, she fell to the ground.
Swish!
Vergo used his right hand, previously unused, to support the falling female ninja's chest, lifting her up single-handedly. Then, he walked straight to Shimizu Akihiro in the distance.
"Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Vergo pays respects to Your Highness!"
Virgo tossed the renegade ninja to the ground and knelt on one knee.
"Rise."
Shimizu Akihiro waved his hand, looking satisfied at Vergo, saying, "How was it fighting against a ninja?"
At the words, Vergo showed a slightly thoughtful expression and said, "Physically weak, even compared to Marine officers, but the power similar to a Devil Fruit exhibited just now is quite formidable. In a direct confrontation, individuals below the rank of Rear Admiral might get injured or even killed."
"Is that so?"
Shimizu Akihiro nodded thoughtfully, then turned to the now dazed Ichiro Kitano and the remaining nine surviving samurai, took a deep breath, and said, "Treat the injuries and prepare to continue the journey!"

Translator's Note :-
In a review I recently read, someone said "The stories that have that type of invocation in Naruto make no sense if you are going to build a kingdom from scratch, make a little effort" (It wasn't in English so I used google to translate it and I'm replying based on that translation)
First of all this isn't my story
Also, MC won't build a kingdom from scratch. He will take over the existing Land of Water & Kirigakure and subsequent actions which I won't reveal as that are spoilers
That aside, basic introduction is over and we finally get to see the MC beginning to recreate the Navy soon as there will be a lot of base building and coup d'etat soon.
AND HAVE A NICE DAY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE:)
