Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 453 VS Lao Zi
Facing the oncoming lava fist, Nagato's expression did not change at all.

The right hand that was performing the 'Universal Heaven Attraction' moved slightly outwards.

Lao Zi's fist, which was in the air with nowhere to gain support, was instantly diverted and passed by Nagato.

At the same time, Nagato grabbed Lao Zi with his left hand without hesitation, completely ignoring the hot magma on his body.

The high-temperature magma that should have been able to easily burn the enemy was strangely and quickly absorbed by Nagato's left hand, and completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But Lao Zi is at least a veteran Kage-level warrior.

The scene of Nagato dodging his punch just now flashed through his mind.

"Can I only absorb ninjutsu? !"

Thinking of this, Lao Zi did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly removed the "Melting Chakra Mode" on his body.

At the same time, bend your right leg and push forward.

With a powerful knee strike, he blocked Nagato's right palm that was aimed at his chest.

Then he swung his right elbow, left fist, and left leg continuously to deliver close combat.

Although Old Zi had nowhere to gain support in the air, he actually relied on a series of physical attacks to force Nagato to panic and have to fight back.

Seeing that he could not gain an advantage in close combat, Nagato immediately pushed forward with one hand.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

An invisible force field instantly spread around Nagato.

In the blink of an eye, Lao Zi, who was unable to resist the force field attack, fell straight to the ground like a cannonball.

"Boom~"

The old purple that fell to the ground raised a large amount of rubble and dust.

Then a large mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.

But before he could rejoice that he had escaped from the enemy's control and stood on the ground again, a burst of violent electric current sounded from high in the sky.

Lao Zi looked up and saw that the arm of the man in the sky had twisted into a strangely shaped puppet cannon barrel at some point.

The dazzling white beam of light was like a giant, sharp lightsaber, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, piercing straight into the ground.

In a panic, the power of the tailed beast in Lao Zi's body rapidly emerged.

A red octopus tentacle instantly stretched out and slammed the ground hard, using the reaction force to push Lao Zi out of the range of this dangerous attack.

But even so.

Lao Zi was still blown away dozens of meters by the shock wave of the explosion that followed.

At the same time, the voice that hadn't spoken for a long time rang in Lao Zi's mind.

"Let me take over! If this continues, we'll both die!"

The one who could speak in Lao Zi's heart at this time was naturally the four-tailed Sun Wukong sealed in his body.

But at present, Lao Zi still doesn’t know the name of the four-tailed beast.

The current relationship between the man and the tailed beast is only that Lao Zi can borrow a small amount of the power of the Four-Tailed Beast.

But in this life-and-death crisis, the Four-Tails could not care about the slight rift between it and the Jinchūriki.

However, Lao Zi quickly refused in his heart.

"If the person on the other side can absorb chakra and enter the tailed beast form, then he might just fall into his trap."

The complete form of the tailed beast is composed of chakra. If the opponent can absorb ninjutsu, it may not be impossible to directly absorb the tailed beast.

In that case, there is a high possibility that even physical attacks will not be able to cause damage.

Thinking of this, Lao Zi spoke quickly.

'You lend me your strength, and I'll do the rest.'

The communication between hearts only takes a moment.

Feeling the chakra filling up again in his body, Lao Zi activated the 'Melting Chakra Mode' again.

However, this time, Lao Zi did not choose to form hand seals to perform ninjutsu. Instead, he quickly took out several shurikens and threw them at Nagato who was still floating in the air.

The seemingly ordinary shuriken was melted rapidly by the high temperature the moment it left his hand, turning into several streams of flowing red molten iron that shot towards Nagato at a rapid speed.

Nagato, who was flying in the air, naturally noticed Lao Zi's actions. He knew that he could not directly absorb this kind of materialized attack with his Samsara Eye.

Without saying a word, he instantly activated 'Shinra Tensei' and once again deflected the attack.

"It really works!"

Seeing this, Lao Zi was shocked and immediately prepared to use the same trick again.

But the next moment, the familiar pulling force enveloped him again.

Before he could think too much, a huge crimson chakra claw immediately appeared on Lao Zi's body and grabbed a huge rock on the ground.

However, the suction force of 'Wanxiang Tianyin' cannot be resisted in this way.

Lao Zi's figure, along with the huge rock, were dragged into the air.

However, it is unknown whether Lao Zi grabbed the boulder in order to stabilize his body.

The huge rock quickly turned red and began to melt in the hand of the chakra's giant claw.

Lao Zi also used this pulling force to quickly throw the huge rock of magma in his hand, which was constantly heating up, towards Nagato.

It is also a huge magma rock, but it is not an entity created by chakra, so Nagato cannot absorb it.

But this time he did not choose to activate 'Shinra Tensei' to resist the attack.

Instead, he quickly moved sideways in the air and avoided the attack again.

When Lao Zi saw this scene, he immediately started to make associations in his mind.

"You didn't use that repulsion method? Is it because it can't resist large attacks? Or can't be used continuously?"

Thinking of this, Lao Zi began to test again.

The dozen or so shurikens in his hand were not thrown out at once. Instead, they were turned into high-temperature molten iron and thrown one by one to test.

Then, he saw that the opponent was just as he had guessed. He did not continue to use repulsion to block, but just kept dodging in the air.

Without saying a word, Lao Zi transformed into the complete form of the tailed beast.

A huge four-tailed red-haired ape instantly appeared on the ground.

The scarlet heat also began to spread.

The Four-Tailed Beast's true form just appeared and paid no attention to Nagato in the air.

After an angry roar.

The giant ape suddenly clasped his hands together, interlocked his fingers and clenched them into fists.

Then, streams of scorching hot magma instantly gushed out from the palm of the giant ape.

However, this huge, scorching fist wrapped in red magma was not intended to attack Nagato who was still flying in the air.

As Nagato looked on in astonishment, the giant ape slammed the ground heavily with both hands.

"boom--"

"Lao Jie*Scorching River Fire Breath"

As the scorching hot magma sprayed, the earth instantly turned red.

The soil and rocks melted and the trees burned.

The magma and sea of ​​fire quickly spread in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the mountains and forests here turned into an endless scorching purgatory.

At the same time, with the huge size of the tailed beast, this heavy punch that hit the ground violently directly blew up the magma and the earth together.

The powerful shock wave pushed the endless sea of ​​​​lava and fire, instantly covering the entire sky.

If it was just a simple lava escape attack, Nagato could easily absorb it even in a large area.

However, at this moment, the molten stones that were placed in the chakra creation and rose into the air due to the high temperature and impact force could not be solved by the absorption ability of ninjutsu alone.

However, he just looked at the horrifying sight of the overwhelming magma rushing towards him.

There was only endless indifference in Nagato's eyes.
