"Roar—!!!"
Roshi, who had once again been lifted high by Shinji, let out a furious roar.
Shinji felt the tail he was holding suddenly retract, and Roshi's entire body slammed heavily onto the ground. In an instant, dust billowed everywhere.
"Roar—!"
Another roar echoed, scattering the surrounding dust.
"Damn it!"
Roshi's face was bleeding profusely, and he roared at Shinji, his eyes bloodshot.
"Die!"
Shinji showed no mercy, his fist, covered in Yang Release Chakar Armor, slammed heavily towards Roshi. As the punch landed, the entire ground trembled.
At the last moment, Roshi leaped high into the air, avoiding the punch.
Seizing the moment before Shinji could prepare, his entire body instantly turned into lava, concentrating Chakra in his hands, and he attacked Shinji.
Lava Release: Scorching Armoured Fist!
The ultra-high temperature attack caused the ambient temperature to rise slightly.
Shinji moved swiftly, turning his body in a complete rotation, dodging the attack, and then landed a punch on Roshi's face. The body covered in lava was instantly sent flying backward.
Shinji stepped forward, he had no intention of giving anyone a so-called breather. He would strike when his opponent was down.
Tiger Hunt!
The Chakra, stacked from the straight punch, transformed into a tiger-headed air cannon, blasting towards Roshi in mid-air.
With a single blow, Roshi instantly disintegrated into countless drops of lava. At the very last moment, he used Lava Clone Jutsu to evade the attack.
"Brat! Do you really think I can't do anything to you?!" On the ground, a roar sounded.
Roshi's entire face was filled with a frenzied aura. This was the first time he had been beaten like this. Not even Ōnoki could treat him this way, yet now he was enduring such a situation at the hands of a young man.
This brat in front of him, constantly displaying various techniques, was even more outrageous than him, a Jinchuriki.
"Oh? Are you just all talk?" Shinji stretched his neck, not paying much attention to Roshi in front of him.
"Hmph—"
Hearing this, Roshi, surprisingly, did not retort, for besides his own underestimation, the situation just now was due to Shinji's strength. Shinji's power was simply not comparable to that of an ordinary ninja.
"Son! Let's go together!"
Roshi's voice instantly spread, and upon hearing this, Shinji immediately used his summoning contract to notify Mimi.
"Mimi! Take Asuma and the others and leave!"
"Understood!"
Mimi did not hesitate. Athough he was very envious of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki's Chakra below, he had to admit that even as a daiyōkai infinitely close to a god, he felt a bit powerless against the Chakra on the ground.
The cloud beneath his feet instantly accelerated, and his entire form ascended higher into the sky.
"What's going on, Mimi?" Asuma, who was about to use a Ninjutsu, asked Mimi.
"We have to leave now. If we don't, we'll just be sitting ducks." Mimi replied in a deep voice without looking back.
Hearing this, Asuma looked back, gazing deeply at the gradually shrinking figure on the ground.
Did he no longer even have the qualification to cover for Shinji?
As Roshi's voice faded, an overwhelming torrent of lava erupted from his body, gradually engulfing him entirely. Subsequently, the gathered lava solidified, forming a colossal red ape-like creature.
Shinji clapped his hands sharply in front of him and shouted, "Oborozuki Sage Mode: Activate!"
A massive wave of Senjutsu Chakra, almost tangible, spread out in all directions.
"Roar—!"
The Four-Tails, seeing the ninja, who was as tiny as an insect, still daring to approach it, swatted at Shinji with its giant hand.
Shinji clenched his right fist, and three different forces converged, striking Four-Tails' giant hand.
Bang!
The clash of immense forces caused spatial ripples, and to the unbelievable gaze of the Suna ninjas in the distance, Four-Tails' colossal body was sent flying, heading towards the remaining Suna ninjas.
Shouts and screams erupted.
The rapidly fleeing Suna ninjas now wished they had more legs. That sky-obscuring figure had already crashed down heavily on top of them.
"Roar—!"
Ignoring how many Suna ninjas he had crushed, Four-Tails felt utterly enraged at this moment.
The ground gradually began to tremble, and Shinji felt the surrounding coldness vanish, replaced by scorching heat.
Four-Tails raised both hands high and slammed them onto the ground.
Rumble—
The already dilapidated ground instantly cracked open, and a massive volcanic eruption surged upwards, heading towards Shinji's location.
Flower–Fruit Mountain!
Countless streams of lava, carrying the fractured ground, pressed down on Shinji.
Four-Tails' colossal body also showed no hesitation, charging forward with earth-shaking roars.
Lava was already under its control, and in this environment, it was like a fish entering the sea for it.
"This is quite a spectacle."
Shinji looked at the lava, which would melt any ordinary person upon contact, and Four-Tails' massive form, then stomped his foot. He charged towards this hybrid monkey in front of him.
With his Yang Release Chakra Armor, how could he possibly fear such lava?
"Roar—!"
Seeing Shinji, this tiny insect, actually charging head-on, Four-Tails opened its mouth and roared, spewing forth an overwhelming torrent of lava.
Rumble—
Countless volcanic impacts erupted from the ground.
Shinji instantly dodged them and began to brawl with Four-Tails in front of him.
This monkey, possessing a humanoid fighting style, was even more troublesome than Eight-Tails, giving him no chance to use Ninjutsu.
"Die for me!" Shinji leaped high, slamming his fist fiercely into Four-Tails' face.
Bang!
In an instant, Shinji's blow caused Four-Tails to roll its eyes, and its massive body toppled to the ground.
"Monkeys should be eating bananas, not causing trouble here."
Looking at the swaying tail, Shinji reached out and grabbed it. Now he wanted to let Four-Tails' true form experience what it felt like to be slammed to the ground.
Boom—
Four-Tails, who had just crashed to the ground, had no time to react, feeling its entire body lifted into the air.
Bang!
The lava on the ground exploded, and Four-Tails' face was slammed into the ground.
"Roar—!"
Pulling its head out of the ground, Four-Tails raised its head and roared, opening its mouth.
The next moment, two-colored Chakra converged in Four-Tails' mouth.
A Tailed Beast Ball filled with destructive energy was rapidly forming.
Shinji was speechless. He was just fighting, and then a big move came out. How was he supposed to play like this?
"Shut your mouth!"
Shinji leaped high, one foot gathering Chakra, descending towards Four-Tails' open mouth.
Thud—
Four-Tails, forced to close its mouth, instantly looked bewildered.
The next moment—
Its closed mouth and body swelled up like an inflated balloon.
A massive impact exploded within it's body, with wisps of black smoke even drifting out of it's mouth.
"Ow—!!!"
