When the wave that rolled forward, absorbing the fog, rose to a height of twenty meters, I stopped the flow of chakra and holding on to the shark on top of the ridge like a board, created three more clones with a solid reserve, sending them to come from the sides of the ground. While he himself continued to fold the seals....
- Kangekiha (Lightning Release: Concussion Wave)!
...and sent electricity through the water.
The combination was costly even by my standards, but let the Anbushnik try to dodge it or fight back! Very quickly, after a couple of hundred meters, I noticed a place where the layer of fog, which had not exceeded four meters in height, thinned, almost disappeared, allowing me to separate the silhouette of the examiner. Except that the next moment, flames erupted from there.
- Katon: Goka Mekkyaku (Release Fire: Powerful Fire, Great Destruction)! - It came to me.
- Oh shit!
The surging wave of fire, almost as big as mine, forced me to move backwards, away from the colliding elements and the boiling steam that hit the arena barrier above and began to spread in all directions, blocking the view of the spectators who could see so little.
Unfortunately, despite the large amounts of chakra used, there was no hope for a positive result of the confrontation - the level of Owl's seishitsukhenk was noticeably higher than mine, and despite the use of a stronger element in conjunction with the destructive power of the raiton, it didn't look like the wave would be able to overcome the flames.
At most, it could douse it. The only upside was that the Council had to spend a lot of money while my reserve wasn't even half empty. I can afford it, turning the jonin exam into a ninjutsu confrontation, and he not so much.
Mutually neutralizing each other, the elemental rampage began to wane, leaving behind only water boiling on the ground and relatively weak sources of chakra that had just separated from the big one, but I was ready for it.
- Raiton: Bakeneko no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Demon Cat Technique)!
One blindingly white cat rose from a spark, then a second, and on the third the fiery bunshins of the Anbushnika emerged from the thinning vapor, but the combined volleys of lightning streams quickly dispelled them, and the slightly smaller but faster constructs rushed forward toward the Uchiha.
I hurried after them, noting that the clones were in the positions necessary to activate the trap, and now it was just a matter of getting Owl to the right place. Hopefully, he wasn't a sensor and wouldn't find them underground.
The three lightning kittens and I were met by a volley of large dragon heads, another famous technique of the Sharingan wielders, with the aim to cover all four of them, apparently to make them dodge and stop controlling the techniques.
It was an unpleasant revelation to the jonin that while I had stopped and used chakra chains to erect a barrier in front of me, successfully surviving the attack, my SEALs were not only able to dodge it, but pounced on it on their own, working as a team and covering each other.
Due to their nature, the genjutsu didn't work against them and the Council had to fight back with a tanto hastily pulled from its sheath, covered in katon chakra. They briefly tied him up in a fight, and I took advantage of that by pulling out my shadow and trying to end the fight in one fell swoop, feeling pleased at the Uchiha's arrogance - he clearly hadn't bothered to prepare for a kawarimi tag replacement beforehand, and the arena itself was pristinely empty, or he'd have taken the opportunity to get out of a tricky situation by now.
