Of course, its pitiful state doesn't mean much.
Even if I shatter its limbs and head, it won't be of any use.
As long as its Golem core remains intact, it can regenerate from any kind of injury within seconds.
If it were a Chakra Beast of flesh and blood, it would have already been half-dead.
In other words, this guy is still very healthy.
Seimei thought as he analyzed the situation.
Hmm~
It seems that the Rock Golem didn't have enough time to form a rock wall.
So, it used Rock Fist to expand its arms and used them to cover its body in an attempt to protect its head, torso, and the Golem core.
At that moment, Seimei saw the Rock Golem lower its hands. Its damaged and destroyed body parts were already regenerating.
The Rock Golem stared at Seimei with angry eyes and let out a deafening roar.
"ROOOAAARRR!"
Seimei narrowed his eyes as he saw the Chakra Beast acting up.
"Getting arrogant now, huh?"
"Well, I have had enough fun for today."
"Let's finish this."
Seimei muttered as he prepared to kill the golem.
He quickly formed a few hand seals and gathered a significant amount of Fire Release chakra.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
At the next moment, Seimei expelled a large amount of flame from his mouth, which soon condensed into a large, simmering 5-meter-wide fireball.
The heat emanating from the giant fireball was so intense that it even scorched the air and the ground.
It wasn't surprising at all. Seimei supercharged this C-rank Ninjutsu with 300 units of chakra when this technique only needed 70-80 units of chakra to be unleashed.
The scorching fireball quickly traveled toward the Rock Golem, ready to incinerate it completely.
Seeing the large fireball incoming, the golem quickly stomped his right foot on the ground and used its innate skill, Rock Wall, to erect a 6-meter-tall, 10-meter-wide, and 2-feet-thick wall.
The burning fireball hit the fully-formed wall with a devastating force and then exploded.
BOOOOOOOM!!
With Seimei's Lv.6 fire affinity and additional chakra, the Great Fireball Technique showcased devastating power.
The wall couldn't withstand the fiery explosion and was blasted into rock fragments.
Behind the wall, the Rock Golem had already used the Ground Slide to retreat 25 meters back and was preparing to stomp its right leg on the ground again.
Seeing this, Seimei immediately guessed the Chakra Beast's next move. It was going to use its innate skill, Rock Lances, once again.
But how could Seimei let it succeed?
He immediately formed hand seals and gathered waves of Lightning Release chakra in his right hand.
Chirp~ Chirp~ Crackle~ Crackle~
The sound of a thousand chirping birds came out of Seimei's lightning-infused hand as a dense amount of lightning arcs continued to crackle around it.
At the same time, the Rock Golem also stomped its foot on the ground, causing a large amount of Earth Release chakra to flow from its foot to the ground.
The earth before the golem changed its shape as 6 rock spears emerged from the ground.
However, before the rock lances could fully form, Seimei brought his lightning chakra-infused right hand toward his left shoulder and then swung his hand horizontally from left to right.
Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon
More than 20 sharp, nearly half-meter-long lightning needles came out of his hand and blitzed toward the golem.
16 lightning needles pierced into the ground just in front of the Rock Golem, disrupting the chakra flow of the golem's skill and blasting the ground and rudimentary rock lances with a burst of lightning.
Boom! Crackle~ Crackle~
Meanwhile, the remaining lightning needles targeted the Rock Golem, which the golem blocked using its Rock Fist skill once again.
Before the commotion from the Chidori Senbon Ninjutsu could subside, Seimei had already charged toward the Rock Golem using the Body Flicker Technique.
He appeared right in front of the golem, pulled his right hand back, condensed chakra into his fists, and punched the beast with all his might.
As Seimei attempted to punch him, the golem became enraged and retaliated with a Rock Fist punch as well.
The moment their fists met, Seimei decisively detonated the chakra he had converged on his fist.
Secret Senju Taijutsu Technique: Chakra Enhanced Strength
Crack! Boom!
The ground around them instantly cracked from the sheer force of the collision of their punches.
The shockwave created by the impact pushed both Seimei and the Rock Golem several meters away, causing them to slide back in the opposite direction.
Neither could overpower the other.
Once Seimei stopped sliding back, he immediately condensed the chakra on his left leg, stomped on the ground, and detonated the gathered chakra with tremendous force as he used the Chakra Enhanced Strength once again.
Crack~ Booom~
The ground cracked under his feet as Seimei rocketed toward the Rock Golem, unwilling to give it any more time to activate any other innate skill.
Seimei arrived in front of the golem in a heartbeat, raised his, and formed a football-sized spiraling, blue chakra ball.
Rasengan
He decisively smashed the Rasengan on his hand on the Rock Golem.
The Rock Golem didn't have enough time to conjure a rock wall and could only cross its arms over the torso with half-formed Rock Fist for protection.
The Rasengan hit the golem with devastating momentum.
Booooom! Thud!
The rotational force of this spiraling Ninjutsu destroyed the half-formed Rock Fist and the arms of the Rock golem before hitting it squarely at its chest.
The violent spiraling chakra of the Rasengan caused the golem's passive protective skill, Tough Skin, to break, causing several deep cracks to appear on the beast's chest.
Rasengan's turbulent chakra entered the golem's body through the crack, wreaking havoc on its internal chakra pathways.
Even its Golem Core wasn't spared.
Although the Golem Core wasn't completely obliterated, fine cracks still appeared on its surface, causing the Rock Golem to feel a deep sense of crisis.
Roaarr~ Roar~
The golem roared with anger and fear.
It started accumulating Earth Release chakra in its mouth, clearly preparing to unleash its skill, Rock Bullet, at point-blank range toward Seimei.
However, the damage to its core caused the chakra accumulation and skill activation to slow down by a fraction of a second.
Seimei observed this with his Tenseigan and let out a smirk.
Before the Rock Golem could release the Rock Bullet, Seimei pushed the Rasengan further into its chest.
Crack~ Crack~
This caused the Golem to slide back a few meters on the ground. The Rasengan also detonated on its chest, causing the cracks on its torso to deepen.
At the same time, the golem launched the Rock Bullet at Seimei.
The moment the rock bullet hit Seimei, a puff of white smoke appeared around it.
When the smoke cleared, the Rock Golem could see its bullet hit nothing but a wooden log.
Seimei clearly used the Substitution Technique to replace himself with the wooden log while he got out of the way.
But the Rock Golem didn't know it. So, it could only look at the wooden log in confusion.
However, before it could understand what was going on, it suddenly heard the crackling sound of wild electric arcs along with the sound of thousands of chirping birds.
Chirp~ Chirp~ Crackle~ Crackle~
Wild, blue lightning arcs flashed behind its back.
Puchi~
Before it could turn around, a hand, covered with a dense amount of lightning arcs, pierced through its back and came out from the front of the left side of its chest while holding a black-brown sphere.
Lightning Release: Chidori
The hand covered in lightning arcs suddenly tightened its grip around the black-brown sphere, causing the sphere to shatter into fragments with a burst of lightning.
Seeing this, the Rock Golem couldn't make any sound.
The light of its eyes dimmed.
Spider-like cracks spread all around the golem's body, and the once imposing Rock Golem crumbled into pieces of rocks at the very next moment.
Once the golem's body crumbled, Seimei's figure could be seen, holding the fragments of the yellow-brown sphere, which was clearly the Golem Core.
Seimei looked at the Chakra Beast he had just eliminated and then looked toward his right.
From that direction, another Seimei showed up.
The newly arrived Seimei gave a ninja pouch to the Seimei who was holding the pieces of Golem core and said, "Good job!"
The other Seimei took the pouch, put the Golem Core fragments inside it, handed it back, and replied, "You too, real body."
Saying this, the Seimei who eliminated the Rock Golem disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Clearly, the Seimei who used the Chidori and dealt the final blow to the Rock Golem was a Shadow Clone.
As for the other Seimei, he was the real Seimei, who fought the golem all this time before disappearing from the scene using the Substitution Technique.
It helped him evade the Rock Bullet fired by the golem a few moments ago while also giving his shadow clone a chance to deal heavy damage without worrying about harming the real body.
Seimei created this shadow clone right after attacking the golem with the Great Fireball Technique, which obstructed the Chakra Beast's field of vision.
And the shadow clone quickly hid itself, waiting for the right moment to deal the golem a heavy blow.
When the clone saw the Rock Golem stiffen up after being damaged by the Rasengan, it had already decided to act.
It quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the devastating A-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Chidori.
It was one of the most powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu he copied…*cough cough*…invented after coming to this world so far.
Well, since there was no Kakashi in this world yet, technically, he was the inventor of this Ninjutsu now.
Yes. That's right.
Anyway, once Seimei's shadow clone activated Chidori, the resulting Lightning Release chakra caused its entire body's cells to become very active, while his nerve response heightened by several degrees.
As a result, when the shadow clone dashed toward the Rock Golem, the influence of the Ninjutsu caused its speed to increase so dramatically that the golem didn't even have time to react after hearing a loud chirping sound coming from behind it.
Perfect execution.
Seimei looked at the remains of the Rock Golem silently.
This guy here was really a tough nut to crack.
Although its danger rating was only B-, its sturdy defense made it really hard to kill.
Shinobi who didn't have any explosive Ninjutsu or Taijutsu techniques will find it absolutely exhausting to deal with this beast.
They could only rely on the heavy usage of explosive tags.
Well, it wasn't his problem.
After contemplating this, Seimei took a deep breath and allowed his body to relax.
"Time to go back."
Seimei said lightly as he turned around and flickered away.
