In the distance, the ninjas from the great village appeared shocked, standing rigidly on their ships, their eyes following Reiji's every step with clear tension.
Although no sound escaped, the vibrations in the air seemed palpable, as if they could hear their own hearts racing.
Some of them swallowed hard, their faces showing confusion and a hint of fear.
They did not expect to face someone like Reiji.
An uncomfortable feeling enveloped them, whether it was due to the presence of the calm young man or the aura emanating from Reiji, which was far stronger than they had anticipated.
Reiji continued to step forward, unshaken by their gazes.
His steps were steady, each footfall on the sand felt like a declaration that Reiji was ready to face whatever came his way.
There was no doubt, no fear within Reiji.
Only a deep determination flowed through his blood like an unstoppable river.
The courage felt tangible, filling every space around him, adding weight to the already tense atmosphere.
Reiji's gaze remained fixed ahead, his calculating eyes sweeping across the entire battlefield before him.
The distance that once felt so far now seemed so close, and Reiji knew that this battle would be decisive.
Around Reiji, the roaring sea wind heightened the tension, creating a rumbling sound that seemed to challenge the courage of anyone nearby.
Finally, Reiji could clearly see the combined ninjas from the three great villages.
They stood tall on ships gliding slowly over the vast sea.
Each ship appeared much larger than Reiji had previously thought, and the ninjas aboard clearly did not underestimate Reiji's arrival.
However, Reiji observed them with the scrutiny of an expert, feeling every small change around him as if his body could merge with the air.
Standing on the surface of the sea was not an easy feat, especially for those untrained in such matters.
Every movement of the ninjas revealed signs of fatigue that could not be hidden.
The tension that lay dormant in their bodies was evident.
Standing on water did not initially drain much Chakra, but over time, it became increasingly burdensome.
Depending on how long they had to maintain that position, their Chakra would be gradually depleted, weighing down their bodies.
Reiji could see that fatigue reflected in their eyes, even some of the older ninjas appeared anxious.
They swallowed hard with worried expressions, feeling the impact of the prolonged struggle.
Every passing second added to the burden on their bodies.
Fighting on water like this meant having to divide focus: maintaining balance on an unstable surface while managing the use of Ninjutsu.
It was a heavy burden.
Perhaps that was why they used ships, wanting to conserve their Chakra and stamina before truly engaging in a more intense battle against the members of the Uzumaki Clan.
...
...
...
Reiji stepped closer, and the atmosphere grew even tenser.
When Reiji finally reached the shore, he paused for a moment, standing tall and gazing into the distance.
The vast sea stretched out before him, shimmering with sunlight reflecting off the water's surface.
The ships looked like an endless line, with ninjas lined up on them like wolves ready to attack.
Even so, Reiji only smiled faintly, a smile full of meaning.
There was a calmness in that smile, and behind it lay an unfathomable strength.
Without taking his eyes off the ships, Reiji began to unleash the Fuinjutsu techniques he had learned.
