Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Just as Lao Zi was secretly relieved, the final attack finally arrived in front of him.

A water sphere resembling a falling meteorite rapidly grew larger in his eyes.

A moment later, the huge water ball hit him precisely.

boom!

A massive, meteorite-like water sphere instantly enveloped Lao Zi, and the terrifying force sent him flying backward.

boom!

The next second, a huge crater with a radius of tens of meters appeared on the ground.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, Lao Zi's figure gradually became visible.

He was half-squatting on the ground, panting heavily, clearly indicating that the attack had caused him considerable damage.

The lava that had covered him had vanished after he had been hit by several water-based attacks.

Even a powerful figure like Lao Zi could not maintain his Lava Release cloak and had to passively dispel it.

After this brief battle, Lao Zi also gained a sudden realization.

These three enemies in front of me have clearly done detailed research on me; they are deliberately using water-based techniques to deal with me.

Although Lava Release is a new attribute created by fusing Fire Release and Earth Release.

However, as mentioned before, fire attribute accounts for a larger proportion of Lao Zi's Lava Release technique.

Therefore, when facing Roshi's Lava Release, using Water Release can have a significant counter effect.

This is why Akatsuki fielded a lineup including Juzo Biwa, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Kakuzu.

After all, among the current members of Akatsuki, these three are the best at using Water Release techniques, besides Madara and his Six Paths.

Thinking of this, Lao Zi's eyes darkened, and he had already made a decision.

Without the slightest hesitation, a large amount of scarlet chakra suddenly appeared on his body.

As he slowly bent down, his entire body was enveloped in crimson chakra, and four tails formed from chakra appeared behind him.

Faced with a premeditated enemy, Rōshi decisively used his half-tailed beast form.

Although Rōshi is not a perfect Jinchūriki like Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.

But now he has been living with the four-tailed beast inside him for more than twenty years.

Although they haven't received the Four-Tails' complete approval over this long period of time, they have reached a certain level of understanding.

Therefore, even in his half-tailed beast form, Rōshi was still able to maintain his individuality with great difficulty.

However, at this time, his personality will become extremely violent, and he will find it difficult to suppress his inner desire to attack.

After donning the Tailed Beast Cloak, he glanced at the three of them with his white pupils, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Kakuzu, who was standing at the very front, changed his expression.

Before he could react, Lao Zi had already appeared in front of him.

The red claws suddenly slashed at his body.

Swish!

As the sharp claws swung down, Kakuzu's body was swiftly and cleanly pierced through like a rag.

But Lao Zi, who had just landed a blow, felt a chill in his heart, because the sensation in his hand told him that it was not the sensation of tearing flesh.

Sure enough, Kakuzu's body, which seemed to have been pierced by a single blow, suddenly split apart, transforming into five masked black-lined monsters that scattered outwards.

Unlike before, two of the five monsters were wearing the same blue mask.

It seems that in order to capture the Four-Tails, Kakuzu had replaced his heart with two Water Release hearts beforehand.

Just as the five monsters split apart, the two monsters wearing blue masks suddenly opened their mouths toward Lao Zi.

puff!puff!puff!

As they moved, dozens of powerful bubbles shot out of their mouths, rushing towards Lao Zi.

At the same time, the monster wearing the brown mask also opened its mouth, and the next second, dozens of earthen spears shot out from its mouth.

Faced with Kakuzu's sudden attack, the nearby Roshi had no choice but to take the hit.

However, after being bombarded with water bullets like a torrential downpour, the earthen spears pierced through the gaps in his body.

After all the earthen spears had hit their mark, Lao Zi belatedly realized that he had been immobilized in place by them.

Suddenly, Kakuzu's voice rang out from mid-air:

"Hurry up!"

Before he could think any further, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was none other than Pipa Juzo and Suigetsu Hozuki who were hiding nearby.

They simultaneously raised their right hands toward Lao Zi, silently chanting:

"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!"

As soon as they finished speaking, a huge water sphere slowly formed in their hands, instantly enveloping Lao Zi.

Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, was actually trapped by someone using ninjutsu!

Chapter 72 The Sixth Tailed Beast is in Hand!

Water Release: Water Prison Technique.

This is a ninjutsu that uses water-based techniques to trap the enemy.

Those trapped inside are unable to move or form hand seals to break the seal.

This ninjutsu first appeared in the battle between Kakashi and Zabuza.

Even Kakashi, who is boasted of knowing thousands of ninjutsu, could only helplessly stay inside when Zabuza trapped him with this ninjutsu.

Of course, the strength of the ninjutsu and the strength of the trapped person are different.

Therefore, they dared not underestimate a powerful figure like Lao Zi.

In order to effectively trap Rōshi, Jūzō Biwa and Kōbō Kiyō chose to activate this ninjutsu together.

Old Zi, who was trapped inside, was stunned at first before finally realizing what had happened.

Already filled with tyranny, he lashed out at the water prison in a fit of rage.

When the claws clad in the tailed beast's armor touched the boundary of the water prison, the water prison, which should have been impenetrable, actually bulged out.

Seeing this, disbelief flashed in the eyes of both Juzo Biwa and Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

They immediately increased the chakra supply to the water prison in front of them.

Fortunately, although there was a protrusion in the water prison, Lao Zi's sharp claws were never able to break through its confinement.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Old Purple was now completely consumed by rage.

Just like a real four-tailed fox, he suddenly swung his arms and punched his chest, shouting continuously.

Because of the isolation of the water prison, he could not make a sound and could only roar silently.

In fact, each of the nine tailed beasts has a corresponding personality based on its animal form.

Kagura understands this all too well.

One-tailed creature is playful and active, two-tailed creature is agile and aloof, and three-tailed creature is calm and lazy.

As for the Four-Tails, its gorilla-like appearance and Lava Release physique indicate that it is an extremely irritable creature.

At this moment, an uncontrollable rage surged within the four-tailed creature's mind as it realized it was imprisoned.

Old Purple, whose head was also filled with this anger, finally stopped suppressing it and decided to unleash his full power.

The next second, the expressions of Kikuchi Juzo and Suigetsu Hozuki changed. They suddenly withdrew their hands, which were casting the Water Prison Technique, and quickly jumped away.

Suddenly, the old purple body inside the water sphere rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a giant beast tens of meters tall.

It was after Rōshi chose to fully transform into a tailed beast that he became the Four-Tails.

This is a giant gorilla with four tails, its entire body covered in red fur, and a terrifying, demonic face.

As soon as it appeared, it passionately pounded its chest and let out an amazing roar.

Even in his old age, Rōshi was able to maintain his consciousness when he was fully transformed into a tailed beast, but the young Rōshi obviously cannot do that now.

Therefore, at the moment he chose to fully transform into a tailed beast, Rōshi's consciousness was already hidden, and what stood in front of everyone was the real Four-Tails.

After venting its anger, the Four-Tails' attention instantly fell on those tiny humans.

Without the slightest hesitation, it immediately opened its gaping maw and spewed out several magma balls at the group.

Faced with the meteor-like attack, the three responded in different ways.

Kakuzu opened the mouths of several masks, and several chakra energy cannons of different attributes were fired, instantly vaporizing the meteorite in front of him.

Meanwhile, Suigetsu Hozuki swung his greatsword Samehada at a magma ball in front of him.

The moment Samehada touched the magma ball, the scales on the blade began to ripple.

Seconds later, the giant magma ball was swallowed by Samehada and disappeared into the air.

As for Pipa Juzo, his response was the most approachable.

Faced with the sky full of fireballs, he chose to dodge...

Seeing that its attack had failed, Four-Tailed Fox's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. Suddenly, it raised its hands and slammed them down onto the ground.

As it moved, several mounds of earth suddenly rose from the ground.

Just as the expressions of Pipa Juzo and the others changed drastically, those mounds erupted like a small volcano, spewing out a large amount of lava.

In just a moment, the entire region was engulfed in flames, with large amounts of lava gushing from the ground and covering the entire surface.

"I rely on!"

At this moment, even the usually composed Juzo Biwa couldn't help but curse.

At that moment, Kakuzu's voice came from the sky again:
