"Chizan, if Kokuō falls from here, it doesn't look like she'll hit the ground."
"After all, to be able to output her strength at one hundred percent, her control over her own balance is among the best between us."
"If the first place goes to Matatabi, then Kokuō would definitely be second."
"Should we think of some way?"
Roshi, with his insect-like eyes, could see farther than anyone. In his sight, Kokuō had already adjusted her balance and was preparing to land.
Gekko Chizan grinned, and his words left Roshi dumbfounded — he never expected a person could be that rotten.
"Who said she can land?"
"Why let her land?"
Gekko Chizan waved a single hand, and a crystal-made bird appeared beside him, then suddenly shot toward Kokuō.
At the same time, the bird carried his jutsu.
Just as Kokuō was about to fall, the crystal bird arrived at her side. Before she could react, Gekko Chizan's figure appeared beside her.
"You bastard! Konoha Ghost, what the—"
Before she could finish shouting, Kokuō's body vanished again.
That move left Kokuō stunned, and even Roshi was speechless.
The fleeing Iwagakure shinobi were stunned too.
Is this even human?
That was a Tailed Beast — how could he just make it disappear like that?
And where did the Four-Tails go?
Deep beneath the battlefield, thousands of meters underground, the Four-Tails Son Gokū was furious.
"Konoha's Ghost..."
"Fine, very fine!"
"When I get out, I'll tear you apart!"
This time Roshi and Son Gokū were united in rage.
They couldn't bear that someone dared to throw them into the sky then bury them underground.
Such a thing had never happened in their lives!
Unbearable! Absolutely unbearable.
"Roshi, you bastard, let me out!"
"I'll smash this cave."
Son Gokū's roaring anger was headache-inducing for Roshi.
But Roshi was equally enraged, and he began to pound the surrounding rock.
The ground began to tremble, although slightly; those standing on the surface felt it.
But because both sides were fighting, they ignored the trembling underfoot.
Up above on the battlefield, with Jiraiya's reinforcement, the pressure on Konoha's side suddenly lessened.
Yet under the hornet swarm's suppression, people were still falling one after another.
Suddenly a yellow figure streaked into the center of the battlefield, and in the next second several oddly shaped kunai were flung toward the perimeter.
"You're late."
"But, the insect repellent has arrived too."
The yellow figure darted across the battlefield, smashing one glass bottle after another.
As the bottles shattered, a gas began to spread — the insect repellent.
Under the full effect of the repellent, both the hornets and the parasitic insects dispersed rapidly.
"Nice work! "
"Next, push them back!"
"Everyone! Attack!"
By now, Tsunade finally shouted excitedly.
With the repellent and reinforcements arrived, the pressure brought by the hornets was sharply reduced — the best news Konoha could get.
"Damn, it's Konoha's Yellow Flashes."
"Everyone, use your most powerful ninjutsu — finish this quickly!"
The Yellow Flash's reputation eclipsed even that of the Konoha Ghost.
After all, the Yellow Flash had slain so many enemies on the battlefield that his appearance cast a shadow over the Iwagakure shinobi.
But they did not retreat. Troops were allocated evenly. Some shinobi fell back quickly, swallowed rations, and gathered chakra to try large-scale ninjutsu.
"Tsunade, how is it?"
"My support arrived in time, right? Hahahaha!"
Bunta was fighting crazily at the battlefield center; Jiraiya seized a gap to brag in front of Tsunade, earning a series of eye-rolls from her.
"You're too slow, but seeing that you brought the insect repellent, I won't hold it against you."
Jiraiya wasn't offended by Tsunade's rebuke.
"That was Orochimaru's guy rushing production."
"Time was tight so we couldn't produce an antidote, only mass-produce insect repellent."
"They delayed coming to wait for the repellent to be finished."
Tsunade nodded after hearing this, then asked Jiraiya,
"Did you see Chizan's brat in the rear of the battlefield?"
"He charged toward the back and there's no news of him now."
When Jiraiya mentioned Gekko Chizan, his expression showed slight displeasure—after all, being called the White-Haired Sage wasn't flattering.
"That kid's something else. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to intercept Iwagakure's Tailed Beast."
"I didn't believe that kid when he said he'd relocate the One-Tail on the Land of Rivers battlefield, but now I do."
"To relocate such a big Four-Tails — he said it and he did it."
When Tsunade heard that Gekko Chizan had forcibly squared off against a Tailed Beast, her eyes widened.
But the battle was not over yet.
The scene returned to the rear of the battlefield.
Kokuō was back in the sky, still descending.
Han felt awful.
Why? Why did she land, then fly up again?!
"Damn Konoha Ghost, this space-time ninjutsu is so annoying!"
"Damn it!"
Kokuō began to emit steam in midair; a terrifying aura rose bit by bit.
[Ding! Detected: Host has repeatedly sent the Five-Tails Kokuō and her jinchūriki Han into high altitudes twice, preventing them from landing; this method has some merit, and caused both the Five-Tails and its jinchūriki to rage and vent in midair. Special reward: Tailed Beast Synchronization chakra consumption reduced by 10%. Note: total reduction currently 30%.]
[Ding! Detected: Host has sent the Four-Tails Son Gokū and his jinchūriki Roshi into the earth, causing Son Gokū and his jinchūriki to spew at each other and become burrowing rodents venting underground. Special reward: Tailed Beast Orb optimization progress +5%, orb optimization progress 50%, excited skills: handheld ability, compressed bomb.]
Toying with two Tailed Beasts yielded generous rewards.
Gekko Chizan felt very pleased, then turned his gaze toward the Explosion Corps that had just tried to encircle him, a trace of contempt appearing on his face — they dared to attack him, so they must bear the consequences.
Gekko Chizan seized the opportunity to start striking at the squad led by Iwapō.
As the crystal condensed, four clones appeared; this time Gekko Chizan took the initiative.
"Chizan, if I recall correctly, that explosion-type shinobi you killed before was from the same unit, right?"
"Yeah, so... won't sending them to reunite be nice..."
