Chapter 240: Establishing a Biomechanical Bloodline Limit

"Choza-senpai, are you saying the Sea Snake Cartel is in the sea?" Sawada pointed at the vast, endless ocean and asked.

"Yes. Honestly, if I hadn't thought of something by chance, we really would have been fooled." Choza nodded.

"What was it?"

"A kekkei genkai, but that family hasn't had any news for a long time." Choza narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something distant.

Another bloodline limit. Sawada couldn't help but rub his hair. Why did it feel like these things were on sale in large quantities every time he went out?

"The intelligence Shikaku gave me is that two days ago, Sunagakure transported another batch of supplies. ANBU tracked them all the way but ultimately lost their trail. We originally thought it was transported through docks, but now all the major docks in the area have been captured by us. However, we still haven't found the whereabouts of these supplies, and Sunagakure's transport frequency hasn't decreased."

As Choza finished speaking, Sawada listened with growing confusion. After all, with no information, how did Choza know these people were in the sea?

Noticing Sawada's gaze, Choza laughed sheepishly. "Actually, discovering these people was a coincidence. Probably they surfaced to breathe air and were discovered by this Hyuga Clan member."

As Choza spoke, he patted the shoulder of the Hyuga beside him, who was looking seriously at Sawada.

Well, having encountered several Hyuga Clan members before, Sawada indicated he was used to it.

"Did you observe the full picture at that time?" Sawada asked curiously, because he knew only Yamato's Wood Release could accomplish such a thing.

"No, it was just that chakra fluctuations appeared on the sea surface. I found it strange, so I kept observing. Later, I discovered a group of objects lurking on the seabed, but the distance was too far for me to accurately sense them."

At this point, the Hyuga lowered his head, seeming somewhat frustrated.

Sawada nodded, patted that person's shoulder, then stood up and looked toward the distant sea.

"That's how I was able to remember. During the Second Great Ninja War, there was once a family in the ninja world whose kekkei genkai was called "Adhesive Steel Release!"

Choza came to Sawada's side and explained to him.

"Adhesive Steel Release?" Sawada turned to look at Choza. He had hardly heard of this jutsu. He had finished reading all the books in Konoha's library—he couldn't possibly forget anything that was recorded.

"Well, it's a quite powerful bloodline limit. If my father and I hadn't happened to encounter it during a mission, I probably wouldn't be able to guess it now," Choza said.

"What kind of nature transformation is it?" Sawada asked curiously.

As for Steel Release, that was understandable because that bloodline limit was quite famous. It should be said that the user who made this kekkei genkai famous was Hiruko. It was a combination of Lightning and Earth nature transformations.

But Adhesive Steel Release—this truly puzzled Sawada.

"Water and Earth," Choza said calmly.

"Water and Earth?" Sawada's expression instantly became serious. The First Hokage's Wood Release was these two nature transformations, just with added Yang Release. But that couldn't be counted as a fusion of nature transformations. Rather, Yang Release chakra gave life to the previous two nature transformations, allowing them to fuse into Wood Release.

"Surprised?" Choza asked with a smile, then waved his hand. "Don't worry, it's not that kind. Although Adhesive Steel Release is formed by combining Water and Earth nature transformations, its main structure generates—based on water's flowing vitality and earth's solid stability—a perfect fusion at the chakra level that creates a miraculous substance possessing both the biological activity of minerals, fluid structural plasticity, and strength."

Sawada raised an eyebrow. This was already quite strong, wasn't it?

According to Choza's explanation, this was already the ability to form biomechanics using a bloodline limit. If it truly was this kind of kekkei genkai, it could indeed accomplish such things.

However, hiding in the sea—this was indeed a bit tricky.

No, Choza's expression wasn't troubled. What he could think of, Choza had no reason not to think of.

"Choza-senpai, do you have a plan?" Thinking of this, Sawada asked Choza.

"That's right. Judging by the frequency, Sunagakure's transport ship will arrive soon." Choza said approvingly. The reason he knew this was because Shikaku was clever.

"Originally, if we still couldn't find them, Shikaku had already decided to send people to intercept Sunagakure's ships at sea. But with such a threat, we must eliminate them completely."

After all, during this time, Sunagakure had invested quite a lot of supplies. He didn't know how Sunagakure found this bloodline limit user. The Sea Snake Cartel's integration was probably backed by Sunagakure.

"About what time?" Sawada considered the remaining time. Although time was tight, the mission wasn't too difficult.

"Tonight. So next, we need to make good arrangements." Choza explained, because Sawada was the leader of this mission. How specifically to proceed still required Sawada's confirmation. As an elder, he would naturally step in to address any issues. This was also why Kakashi had Choza accompany Sawada.

Sawada nodded. An idea instantly flashed through his mind. "Choza-senpai, how much oil do we have left?"

Oil—a substance that could burn even when in contact with water. This was something almost all nations used in the Ninja World Wars. He had previously taught Sasuke to use this cleverly with the Fireball Jutsu. However, when encountering water, its power would decrease, but that was when the water quantity was small. If the quantity were large, naturally it would be different.

"No problem, we haven't used much." Choza thought for a moment and answered. "Do you want to use fire?"

"Yes, it's the fastest method," Sawada said.

"But if our people appear on the surface, they might notice us." Choza was somewhat opposed to this plan because the exposure risk was too great.

"No, I plan to do this from above." Sawada shook his head and pointed at the sky.

"Can you fly?" Choza was first stunned, then looked at Sawada incredulously and exclaimed.

"Yes, I can use Sage Mode, but I plan to use a summoning beast." Although it could be done in Sage Mode too, the time was too short. After all, he wasn't certain of the exact handover time, so the safest method was to summon Sansan. Coincidentally, Sansan's stealth ability wasn't weak.
