Fighting Tongue Slash

By kneading senjutsu chakra , Fukasaku's long tongue gains utmost solidity and sharpness. It then leaps from his mouth with tremendous speed and force, enough to tear a hole through bedrock and metal pipes with ease. With that ground-splitting power, the enemy is cut in half. The way that both the enemy and the ground itself are cut apart is reminiscent of the strike of a great sword.

## Trivia [ ]

- "Zessen" is written with the kanji for "tongue" and "battle" . It can be translated as to "battle with tongues" . In normal use, however, it means "war of words" , or "verbal dispute" , in reference to Fukasaku and Shima arguing all the time. The full kanji can be translated as "War of Words Slash".
- In the anime, colourised manga , and various video games, Fukasaku is depicted firing a highly pressurised stream of water from his mouth, rather than extending his tongue.
