"Don't let your guard down!"
Suikazan Fuguki gripped the Samehada, concentrating intently to perceive any changes in the surroundings.
Roshi stared down, his brow furrowed, his eyes serious. "My 'Scorch Release: Stream Severing Volcano' had no effect! Uchiha Megumi's strength is extraordinary!"
As he spoke, Roshi, out of caution, entered a semi-Tailed Beast transformation. A dark red chakra shroud appeared around his body, and four thick tails emerged from behind him.
"Be careful, everyone! I sense an extremely powerful surge of chakra!" Suikazan Fuguki shouted as a warning.
Before his voice faded, Hozuki Juzo and Kurosuki Raiga both tightly gripped their Shinobi swords, their chakra surging, prepared for battle.
Below, a flash of green light cut through the lava stream, instantly cleaving it apart.
A sword severing water!
It was a chakra blade as green as emerald, about ten meters long, shimmering with a faint light in the moonlight.
The hilt was held in a green chakra skeleton hand.
At the end of the arm, the silhouette of a grass-green skeleton was faintly visible.
Torrential chakra continuously materialized, adhering muscles, layers of skin, and pieces of armor onto the bones.
The lava flowed away in all directions, revealing a towering green chakra giant beneath the stream, billowing with heat.
Suikazan Fuguki and the others looked down from their height, surveying the full view.
The emerald giant had only an upper body but was over eight meters tall, level with the waists of the surrounding ancient trees; it wore the style of Warring States armor and held a chakra longsword, its presence immensely intimidating.
Inside the giant, Megumai and Seiya were unharmed.
The unexpected giant and the chillingly cold chakra made Suikazan Fuguki and the others wary.
"What is that thing!" Hozuki Juzo's eye twitched as he asked, filled with shock and uncertainty.
Roshi was comparatively calmer.
He explained, "An elder in the village once mentioned this. It's a unique jutsu belonging to Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna. The chakra is externally manifested and solidified into a giant, possessing astonishing offensive and defensive power! Few in the shinobi world can defeat it!"
Hozuki Juzo was horrified, his brow furrowing into a 'river' shape.
"That's a technique only seen in legends! Why can Uchiha Megumi use it?!"
Uchiha Madara's battle record was brilliant and his reputation legendary.
He was a god of slaughter, seated high in the heavens, inspiring terror.
Now, learning that Uchiha Megumi could use her ancestor's technique, Hozuki Juzo's mental state underwent a subtle change.
Roshi continued his explanation, "According to the Shinobi who survived the Valley of Final Judgement, Uchiha Hina, Uchiha Megumi's mother, used this technique when she was near death. This proves it is not exclusive to the ancestors, but a secret technique passed down through the Uchiha generations!"
"Can the few of us defeat her?" Hozuki Juzo asked bluntly.
Roshi glanced at the young man, whose resolve was wavering.
He said lightly, "In the battle at the Valley of Final Judgement, Uchiha Hina's chakra giant was eventually depleted and dissolved by the persistent attacks of our Shinobis."
"Therefore, the same technique holds a world of difference between Uchiha Madara and an Uchiha descendant. If we all work together, we can certainly defeat Uchiha Megumi. This is also why the Tsuchikage-sama specifically dispatched me and Han."
"Tsuchikage-sama is truly farsighted. We are impressed!"
Hozuki Juzo was genuinely convinced.
He had previously grumbled that the Tsuchikage seemed to look down on the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist by sending two Jinchuriki to help eliminate Uchiha Megumi, calling it overkill.
Now, it seemed the old man knew best!
While Roshi and the others were talking, Megumai, standing inside the Susanoo, was bleeding profusely from both eyes.
"Mama, you're bleeding!"
Seiya was panic-stricken, quickly wiping the blood from his mother's face.
However, new blood continued to surge out.
Even with his small hands covered in blood, he couldn't keep his mother's face clean.
"Mama! Are you going to die?"
Seiya was terrified, his voice trembling violently, and his eyes were brimming with tears.
Seeing her precious son on the verge of tears, Megumai's heart ached.
She quickly kissed her son's forehead and patted his back, comforting him, "Don't cry, baby. Mama is fine. This is just bad blood. Letting it out is good for the body."
"Oh."
Seiya pouted and responded sadly, tightly wrapping his arms around his mother's neck, staring anxiously at her, afraid that she might vanish in a moment.
"Don't be afraid, baby. Mama will be with you forever." Megumai pressed her face against his, soothing him gently.
"Mhm!"
Seiya sniffled, the tear tracks on his face gradually drying, but his mood was still low.
He had been truly terrified just now.
Megumai immediately shifted his attention.
"Baby, look quickly! How magnificent is this armored giant Mama made? Is it cool?"
Boys generally had a natural interest in such things.
Seiya opened his eyes wide, gazing intently at the emerald giant above his head.
He murmured in admiration, "Mama is so incredibly amazing!"
He then noticed the fiery red liquid surging around the giant. He asked curiously, "Mama, what is that?"
"That's lava! It's very, very hot. If you touch it, you'll be burned to a crisp."
"Then, will the giant feel pain when it's burned?" Seiya asked innocently, looking at the emerald giant with sympathy.
Megumai smiled faintly. "No, it won't. The giant is just like your toy, baby. It has no life, so it can't feel anything."
"Oh." Seiya nodded, relieved. He then asked curiously, "Mama, where did all this lava come from?"
"The bad guys in the trees made it," Megumai said, lifting the pure white Shinobi sword wrapped in chakra in the giant's hand, its tip pointing directly at Hozuki Juzo.
"Evil! A group of big bad guys!"
Seiya puffed out his cheeks, very unhappy. He had planned to roll around on the beautiful grass after dinner! But now the grass was burnt to a crisp!
"They are indeed bad!"
Megumai agreed with a smile, though she was gritting her silver teeth, desperately trying to ignore the deep, bone-piercing pain within her body. The side effects of the Susanoo were truly agonizing!
"Defeat the bad guys!" Seiya punched the air with his small fist.
"Yes, defeat the bad guys!"
Megumai's chakra violently burst forth.
"Strike him dead, Shinso!"
The blade's tip rapidly extended, instantly snapTojo the Kubikiribocho and piercing straight through Hozuki Juzo.
Roshi and the others were utterly shocked, reflexively scattering and leaTojo away.
The Shinso moved sideways, slicing Hozuki Juzo's body in half, then instantly retracted to its normal size like lightning.
The lifeless Hozuki Juzo fell from the tree and melted into the lava below.
At the same time, a figure suddenly flashed out of the forest, accompanied by a tremendous roar of steam.
In the blink of an eye, the figure leaped from a blind spot to the back of the Susanoo.
Boil Release: Unrivaled Strength!
The semi-Tailed Beast transformed Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, kicked the Susanoo fiercely.
The emerald giant shook, rattling loudly, and small cracks appeared in the armor on its back.
Megumai remained unperturbed, completely calm.
She glanced back at Han, who had pulled back to a safe distance, and then looked up at Roshi in the tree.
"Five years ago, at the Valley of Final Judgement, if the two of you had been there, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
"Unfortunately, times have changed. The Four-Tails and the Five-Tails will both die today!"
