"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique!"
Red magma balls rolled down, and the scorching high temperature twisted the air with the whistling wind.
As a cloud of white smoke dissipated, Fukasaku of Mount Myōboku was summoned, and jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulder as soon as he appeared.
He noticed the red light above his head at the first moment. Those magma balls were simply smashing down like cannonballs, and immediately puffed up his mouth.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Fukasaku opened his mouth and spewed out an unimaginable amount of water from his small body. The high-pressure water flow was like a waterfall rushing upstream, facing the magma balls in mid-air.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
When water and fire touched, a large amount of water vapor evaporated, and the magma balls cooled and shrank under the impact of the water waterfall. As the high temperature was taken away, they also turned into several purple-black irregular stones and fell to the surroundings.
Thousands of tons of water fell to the ground, and a small lake quickly accumulated in this barren area.
This was not over yet, Fukasaku clapped his hands together, and the chakra around his body surged, drawing out two streams of water from the lake into the sky. With just one spin, they gathered into a large water dragon, roaring and rushing towards Rōshi in the distance.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Rōshi landed from mid-air, retreating again and again until his feet touched the solid ground, and then he completed the hand seals and slapped the ground with one hand.
"Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Return!"
Two cracks flowed from the palm as the center to both sides, drawing a standard rectangle on the ground in front of him. With Rōshi's deep shout, the ground suddenly turned over, and a huge stone slab blocked him like a dam, colliding with the water dragon!
The ground trembled, and the water flow dissipated.
In the "whoosh whoosh" falling water flow, Fukasaku glanced at Jiraiya and Tsunade, and said in a thick accent:
"Little Jiraiya, it seems you're really in trouble this time."
"Sorry, Fukasaku, with my current strength, it's not enough to summon you and Shima at the same time." Jiraiya scratched his head.
Before Fukasaku could speak, a huge impact came from the front, the stone slab suddenly cracked, and spiderweb-like cracks spread in all directions, "Boom" shattering.
In the rolling stones, a humanoid monster with bone armor on its head and covered in a dark red chakra coat appeared in the sight of everyone, and three long tails swayed slowly.
"It's Tailed Beast Transformation!" Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said, "This guy, it seems he really has no scruples."
"We've been tricked. The Iwagakure ninja's rout these days was just to lure us in, in order to wipe us out in one fell swoop." Tsunade calmed her breathing. After Katsuyu's treatment, her hands had recovered.
"The Iwagakure's means of manipulating the tailed beast cannot be stronger than ours. Therefore, as long as he opens the Tailed Beast Transformation, his mind will be affected by the tailed beast." Tsunade's eyes were deep, "In the past, he may have been afraid of hurting innocent people, but now... he can let his consciousness fall into the abyss, and then kill everyone present!"
"Damn it, it was my misjudgment." Thinking of his dead comrades, Jiraiya showed remorse.
Tsunade grabbed his collar, "Now is not the time to apologize, and we haven't lost yet!"
Her eyes were beautiful and firm, even the messy hair and embarrassed pretty face could not hide the compelling heroism. Looking at her eyes, Jiraiya immediately cheered up again.
At this moment, Fukasaku shouted, "Here it comes!"
A red shadow tore through the air. Rōshi, who had entered the semi-tailed beast transformation state, had become a humanoid beast. Two sharp bone claws went straight for the hearts of the two!
Fukasaku took the lead, his mouth puffed up high: "Sage Art: Water Release: Water Severing!"
With a "呲" sound, a rapidly shooting high-pressure water line slashed horizontally like a long knife. The speed was extremely fast. Rōshi tilted his head to dodge, brushing past the water line, and the bone horns and the stone slab behind him were cut in half.
Fukasaku's move greatly slowed down the opponent's speed. Taking advantage of this gap, Tsunade and Jiraiya shot at the same time.
"Get out of here!"
Tsunade slammed a punch on the ground, and the impact erupted a powerful air current. The ground in front of him suddenly shattered, causing Rōshi's body to fall into the pit.
At this moment, Jiraiya leaped high, spitting out a huge amount of chakra oil, and Fukasaku on his shoulder spewed out flames, the fire oil merged, and the flames burned away!
"Sage Art: Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"
The flames burned wantonly, mixed with hot oil and sprinkled away, directly forming a pillar of fire falling from the sky, smashing Rōshi into the pit!
The rolling heat swept the earth, igniting a sea of fire in an instant.
"Goo-doo-doo..."
The flames did not go out. On the contrary, the flame color inside became more and more dark red and deep. As bubbles emerged, Rōshi actually stood up from the fire pit again.
Obviously, this sage art brought him great damage, and even the tailed beast coat was stripped away, but his body surface had begun to flow with red hot lava, and his eyes became more and more manic.
"Lava Release: Sea of Lava Needles!"
He jumped out, all the lava on his body condensed in his palm, and with a single palm push, an unusually thick lava rod shot out, causing Jiraiya's silver hair to curl slightly before it even approached.
"Retreat!"
With a "boom," the red lava tore the earth apart, lighting up the dark sky.
Rōshi, who had entered the semi-tailed beast transformation state, had obviously lost the combat literacy that a ninja should have, but what he gained was unparalleled power.
He wantonly vented his anger, and every attack could erupt with hot lava, turning the earth into a sea of fire.
This terrifying chakra that easily changed the terrain, like a natural disaster, was obviously no longer a simple "Lava Release" Kekkei Genkai, but the tailed beast power from the Four-Tails!
The few people fell into a fierce battle. Tsunade, who possessed superhuman strength, was responsible for facing the enemy head-on, Jiraiya feinted attacks, and Fukasaku was responsible for making deadly attacks with sage arts. It seemed like a three-on-one, but if it weren't for Fukasaku's involvement from the side, Jiraiya couldn't remember how many times he would have died at the hands of the opponent.
Dozens of rounds passed, and Tsunade was already disheveled. Her black combat uniform had long been burned out, leaving only a close-fitting bust cloth to wrap her lithe body. Her arms were charred black. Although Katsuyu was constantly treating her, it was simply a drop in the bucket under the continuous offensive.
The other party was like a tireless perpetual motion machine, the offensive was faster than the other, and the three did not dare to breathe. If they were a little slack, it would lead to the death of their companions on the spot.
"Puff puff..."
A burst of white air rose, and Fukasaku's Water Gun knocked Rōshi away.
But this time, Rōshi did not attack like just now, but lay on the ground, breathing more and more heavily.
Deep energy gathered like a tide, and red chakra began to flow visibly in the air.
In the horrified eyes of the few people, Rōshi protruded his fourth tail, his body's tailed beast energy soared, and his body rose inch by inch. Along with the hot lava, a huge ape with a red body, hideous muscles, and horns on its head suddenly appeared!
"This is... Full Tailed Beast Transformation!!!"
