Suiton: Daikaisuidan (Water Release: Great Water Mass Bullets)!" Yagura took a deep breath and condensed large masses of water in his mouth before firing three large water projectiles at the Jōki Bōi.
Gengetsu's clone was far too fast for the water projectiles to his, as it swiftly flew through the air to avoid them and charged at Yagura once more. Yagura's jutsu impacted the roof and created small shockwaves that only accelerated the clone's speed further.
As the clone flew through the air, it slowly started to expand and increase exponentially in size.
Yagura's pupil-less eyes widened as he knew what the increase in size meant.
The clone was made up from the oil and water in Gengetsu's body. The water in the clone is surrounded by a thin layer of oil, and do to this structure, the clone's temperature can be easily altered from cold to hot and vice-versa. When it exerts itself, the outer layer of oil heats up and evaporates the water within it. As the internal pressure builds, the clone expands until it violently explodes and water vapor is released. The vapor then cools down and rises and as a result, turns into hail that cools the clone, causing it to shrink again and repeat the never ending process.
It only takes chakra to create the clone, not sustain it, as the rest of the process is carried out by the laws of nature and science. Even if it didn't, as a reanimation Gengetsu had an unlimited supply of chakra.
Yagura began kneading suiton chakra within his lungs, knowing that he had to do something to slow the clone down before it exploded.
"Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Release: Water Formation Wall)!" Yagura released a large torrent of water from his mouth that rose into a large wall as it intercepted the large clone. It slowly became powerful enough to stop the clone in its tracks and push it back towards the direction it came form a bit.
Though it seemed as if it was too late as the clone's expression changed to a large smirk before it exploded violently in a burst of water vapor.
Yagura was sent back across the roof by the incredibly powerful shockwave and searing hot water vapor produced. He landed just near the farthest edge of the roof, sections of his version two cloak ripped from his body, his clothes tattered, and parts of his body scalded from the heat of the blast. Nevertheless, he slowly managed to stand back up as he stared at the clone who had already returned to its normal size and cooled down.
The Nidaime Mizukage truly was a force to be reckoned with, and to think this wasn't even the man's full power. He was truly fearsome and worthy of the title of Mizukage.
Yagura eyed the water covering the battlefield from his earlier defensive countermeasure, and slowly but surely a plan began to form in his mind. There was no guarantee that it would work, in fact it may be detrimental to him with the cost of chakra and add more fuel to the fire, but he managed to pull it off then he would have a chance to seal Gengetsu while he was still in his weakened state.
Yagura made a single Mizu Bunshin (Water Clone) from the water below him, before they charged off in different directions. Yagura's clone was heading for Gengetsu's clone, while Yagura himself was going for Gengetsu.
The Mizu Bunshin didn't have to go very far to enact the first part of the plan, as this entire section of the rooftop was covered in a thick layer of water, with Gengetsu's clone standing right in the middle of it all. 'Yagura' stuck out his palm before the water began rising and flowing, before it became a large, dense, inescapable sphere of water.
"Suirō no Jutsu (Water Prison Jutsu)."
Yagura's clone may only have had ten percent of Yagura's original strength, but the Kage was a master of the water element and could control it with his will alone, even going so far as to use some of the most powerful suiton jutsu ever created without even forming a hand seal. This was due to Isobu, who was sealed inside of him and whose own element was water, and because of his own tremendous skill.
For the Jōki Bōi (Steaming Danger Tyranny), who needed to be able to expand to explode, the dense and heavy water of the prison would be the perfect countermeasure for stopping it in its tracks.
The only problem was that 'Yagura' needed to continuously hold and keep the prison active. Once it ran out of chakra, the jutsu would dispel and Gengetsu's signature clone would be free to do what it pleases. This only meant that the real Yagura would have to finish his part as soon as possible.
The real Yagura was currently rushing at Gengetsu at high speeds, whilst avoiding continuos barrages of Gengetsu's Mizudeppō: Nichō (Water Gun: Two Guns). That isn't to say that Yagura was unscathed from the near constant bullets of water that were traveling at him with tremendous speed and force. No, he had received his fair share of gunshot wounds, but that was nothing that Isobu wouldn't be able to heal, albeit slowly, but he would still be able to heal it nonetheless.
Yagura had long since given up any form of defense. He needed to finish him off quickly before his special clone could get involved one more, and judging from the amount of struggle the clone was putting up in trying to break free inside of the water prison, it wouldn't last much longer as it was taking even more chakra for his clone to hold it. He needed to seal Gengetsu at this very moment.
Yagura really only knew one fūinjutsu technique and it was the one that Obito had taught him while he was the liaison between Kiri and Konoha. It had been taught to him by Minato, who had it taught to him by Jiraiya of the sannin. It was a short-ranged type though, and that is why he had given up all concentration on defense in order to get in close to his target.
Yagura brought his right hand to his side as each of his fingertips were ignited with purple flames. Within each one of those flames, an element was inscribed. Not the elements for each of the chakra natures but the kanji for metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Yagura never really understood what the purpose of these kanji were, so he figured they were merely symbolic and had no real purpose.
Yagura had finally reached within striking distance of Gengetsu. He reared his palm back and slammed it into the former Mizukage's abdomen, but not before the man managed to fire off two more of his Mizudeppōs at point black range into Yagura's chest. A large splatter of blood erupted from his back and chest just as the seal began forming on Gengetsu's abdomen.
