A sharp whirlwind kick howled through the air, sweeping toward Rōshi's side.
Rōshi, his entire body covered in molten rock, felt as if he'd been rammed by a charging bull. His whole body was sent flying.
After landing with a deafening roar, Rōshi clutched his waist, his face deathly pale. "Looks like I still underestimated you."
Looking at Sawada in the distance, a slightly sinister smile appeared on Rōshi's face. Someone who could cooperate with the Four-Tails. How could they be such a good-natured person?
"Maybe so." Sawada raised a single finger, his gaze locked on Rōshi and the Four-Tails' chakra. Lava Release, is it?
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!" Chakra gathered in Sawada's throat. When it accumulated to a certain threshold, he expelled a torrent of water toward the ground, forming a lake that swept across the entire area.
"Water Release at this level? I really underestimated you!" As a Jinchūriki, Rōshi had participated in countless battles, but this was the first time he'd seen Water Release used to this degree.
"Let's go. It's time for us to move too!" In the sky, Asuma looked at the water surface below, deep enough to submerge a person, then looked toward the distant horizon.
"Yes!" Muta raised his hand, and his jar released countless parasitic insects.
Sawada contained the Jinchūriki for us. The remaining Sunagakure forces are our problem.
"Asuma, I need your help!" Yusuke slapped the scroll on her back, and a massive shuriken appeared in her hand.
"No problem!" Seeing this, Asuma chuckled and raised both hands, rapidly forming seals. "Ninjutsu: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Yusuke's body twisted, and the massive shuriken flew from her hand, cutting through the air toward the ground.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Nail Crimson!" Asuma expelled a massive fireball that merged with the shuriken Yusuke had thrown.
As the shuriken instantly split into countless physical copies, flames attached to each flying blade. In an instant, the sky seemed to ignite. Countless massive shuriken wreathed in flames descended toward the ground like meteors.
The approaching Sunagakure shinobi looked up at the flaming projectiles and couldn't help but stare in shock. The shinobi at the very front didn't hesitate. They simultaneously formed seals and slapped both hands on the ground.
"Earth Release: Mud Wall!" The ground instantly turned to sand and rose into the air, attempting to block the shuriken.
But the next instant, countless insects flew in, enveloping the Sunagakure shinobi who were performing jutsu. The barrier, having lost chakra control, collapsed directly onto the shinobi on the ground.
Immediately after, the massive shuriken crashed down, their scorching heat causing agonized screams. The interweaving of fire and sand filled the air with searing heat.
The Sunagakure shinobi buried under the sand desperately tried to escape, but the sand above had been baked hard by the Phoenix Sage Fire's power, like sand in an iron pot. Instantly, they curled up like boiled shrimp.
Above, Nyanko, Asuma, and Yusuke calmly watched everything below. They then moved toward the surviving Sunagakure forces. The cruelty of war was always so visceral.
On the ground, Rōshi was resisting the water current Sawada had released. Looks like those people aren't simple! But what did Sunagakure's life or death have to do with him?
Rōshi sneered coldly. His perception in Lava Release Chakra Mode was incredibly sharp. He suddenly turned around, a massive fist wrapped in lava blasting behind him.
"At this level! You can't withstand my Lava Release at all!"
The lava-like heavy punch was easily caught by Rōshi with one hand. But his heart trembled. This Hokage's disciple actually caught my heavy punch with one hand!
"Water Release: Water Gun Jutsu!" With one hand catching Rōshi's punch, Sawada's other hand formed a gun shape, shooting bullet-like liquid from his fingertips toward Rōshi.
Rōshi had no time to think. He could only raise his other hand to protect himself. The massive Lava Release instantly erupted, sending countless streams of molten rock to block Sawada's water gun.
Dense water bullets poured out like machine gun fire. The powerful penetrating force and impact sent Rōshi flying backward like a rag doll. His entire body violently crashed through countless tents, and the Lava Release on his body ignited the oil and water Sawada's team had placed.
The intense pain made Rōshi's breathing rapid. Sawada's casual attacks had thoroughly enraged him.
"ROAR!" An inhuman roar erupted from Rōshi's mouth. A violent red chakra exploded in Sunagakure's logistics camp, like a volcanic eruption.
Rōshi's figure staggered to its feet. Behind him, one, two. Four-Tails, formed from Tailed Beast chakra, constantly swayed. His entire body swelled further, his skin turned dark red, fangs protruded, and the gaze he fixed on Sawada was filled with ferocity.
Sawada rubbed his brow. This Jinchūriki really goes all-out at the slightest provocation.
On the ground, terrifying chakra fluctuations spread outward like a tangible force. Rōshi's body shifted slightly, then instantly vanished, the next moment appearing above Sawada's head.
A giant claw covered in Tailed Beast chakra viciously smashed down. Both speed and power far exceeded before.
Sawada's feet moved. Chakra condensed beneath his feet. His entire body hugged the ground, evading the instant the giant claw struck.
Where he'd just been standing, with the impact of Rōshi's partial Tailed Beast transformation claw, a crater several meters in diameter spread out like a spider web.
Sawada hadn't yet steadied himself when Rōshi's figure already closed in again. The four tails were like a net, sealing all of Sawada's blind spots. His mouth opened slightly.
"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Jutsu: Continuous Strike!" Even denser lava balls than in his human form, like meteors, rained down on Sawada.
With no way to dodge, Sawada's hands violently slapped the ground. "Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide!" A massive stone slab instantly erupted from the ground, blocking him.
Using the rock slab to block the lava, Sawada's hands spread to both sides. In an instant, he covered himself in the Yang Release chakra.
"Titan's Grip!” Sawada grabbed the Tailed Beast chakra tails Rōshi used to seal his blind spots and swung him high into the air.
A trace of surprise flashed across the partially transformed Rōshi's face, followed by repeated impacts with the ground.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
On the field, whether it was Asuma in the sky or the approaching Sunagakure shinobi, all watched in terror at the figure continuously smashing the Tailed Beast form into the ground.
A thought couldn't help but rise in their hearts. Is this even human?
