Chapter 156 - Chapter 155: Absorbing the Four-Tails, Gaining the Five-Tails’ Power

"Yoton: Kakazan no Jutsu! (Lava Release: Flower-Fruit Mountain Technique!)"

As Roshi slammed his hands to the ground, a massive sea of molten lava surged into existence, instantly engulfing Kazama.

"Itachi-aniki, you were right—this Kazama kid really isn't a match for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki!" 

Watching from a distance, Kisame's heart skipped a beat at the sight of the technique. 

He thought to himself that if *he* had been hit by that move, he'd probably be done for. 

But since it was Kazama swallowed by the lava sea, Kisame couldn't help but feel a surge of glee.

"Kazama…"

Seeing Kazama actually submerged in the Four-Tails' lava, Itachi's face showed a flicker of worry. 

He knew Kazama was powerful, but the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was no pushover either.

*Ding! Successfully absorbed Yoton: Kakazan no Jutsu. Congratulations, host, you've gained Shakuga Dai Funka no Jutsu! (Blazing River Great Eruption Technique!)*

Just as Itachi's concern grew, something unbelievable happened. 

The massive sea of lava was suddenly sucked into Kazama's body.

The shocking turn of events left not only Itachi and Kisame stunned but even the technique's caster, Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, staring in disbelief.

He'd never seen anyone survive this technique, let alone absorb it.

At that moment, even as a Jinchuriki, Roshi couldn't help but think Kazama was some kind of monster.

"Roshi, I suggest you hurry up and transform into the Four-Tails. That way, you might actually have a shot at beating me," Kazama said, his tone dripping with mockery.

Roshi's face twisted with rage at Kazama's taunting words.

"Who do you think you are, punk? You think you're worthy of forcing me to transform into the Four-Tails? Let me tell you, no one in this world has ever made me do that!"

"Alright then, guess I'll be the first. Shakuga Dai Funka no Jutsu!"

Kazama's hands morphed into massive streams of molten rock, crashing down toward Roshi with devastating force.

The attack was so intense that not only was Roshi overwhelmed, but the sprawling forest around them was reduced to ash by the blazing technique.

"Holy crap! This Kazama guy isn't human! He's using a Yoton even stronger than the Four-Tails'!" 

Kisame and Itachi hurriedly retreated, barely dodging the fallout from Kazama's ferocious attack.

Just moments ago, Kisame was certain Kazama would be crushed by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. 

Now, he realized not only was Roshi incapable of killing Kazama, but Kazama might just turn the tables and take him out.

*ROAR!*

At that moment, a massive red gorilla emerged from the molten lava.

Roshi had finally been pushed to unleash the Four-Tails' true form.

"Well, Roshi? You were so confident I wasn't worthy of making you use the Four-Tails' power. What's this now?" Kazama teased.

Having transformed into the Four-Tails, Roshi had lost all sense of reason. Ignoring Kazama's taunts, he charged, wielding the full force of his molten lava.

The Four-Tails' onslaught shook the earth, the ground trembling and mountains quaking.

The higher the tailed beast's number, the more terrifying its power. The Four-Tails alone wielded enough strength to overturn rivers and seas.

Unfortunately for it, it was up against the even more terrifying Kazama.

"Let me show you *my* Four-Tails power! Come forth, Four-Tails Son Goku!"

With Kazama's booming command, another Four-Tails Son Goku appeared on the battlefield.

"What the—?! Am I seeing things? This can't be real! How are there *two* Four-Tails?!" 

Kisame's jaw dropped, his eyes wide with shock at the sight of the two identical beasts.
