I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Without hesitation, Sasori, controlling the Third Kazekage, immediately passed through the molten lava wave via the newly opened passage.

"not good!!"

As they passed through the lava waves, Scorpion immediately looked for Old Purple's figure, and when he saw Old Purple, he was immediately startled.

After unleashing the "Lava Release: Scorching River Fire Blast" attack, Roshi did not simply wait for the outcome.

Or rather, "Lava Release: Scorching River Fire Blast" was just a feint he used to restrain Sasori.

Red and blue chakra frantically gathered in front of his mouth.

In a short period of time, a dark purple energy ball with a diameter of seven or eight meters has been formed.

This was exactly what surprised Scorpion.

While using Lava Release to restrain Sasori, Old Purple actually managed to condense a Tailed Beast Ball.

As it turns out, Old Purple's control over the Tailed Beasts was even greater than Han's.

Although he did not reach the level of a perfect Jinchūriki, he had already mastered the Tailed Beast Ball, a signature move of the Tailed Beasts.

"It's too late to realize it now!"

When Sasori noticed Roshi's actions, Roshi, who had been paying close attention, also noticed Sasori immediately.

He sneered inwardly, then immediately leaped into the air and launched the Tailed Beast Ball towards the direction of the Star Ninja Village.

Whoosh!

The Tailed Beast Orb that shot out transformed into a meteor and flew rapidly toward Hoshigakure.

Chapter 101 Suppressing the Jinchūriki

However, the Tailed Beast Ball that Old Purple condensed in his Tailed Beast form could not compare to that condensed by a real Tailed Beast.

Both its size and power are much smaller.

Even so, take the Tailed Beast Ball flying towards Hoshigakure right now.

If it were to fall into the Star Ninja Village, its power would be enough to destroy most of the village.

"Damn it!"

Sasori stared in shock and anger at the Tailed Beast Ball flying towards Hoshigakure. If he hadn't already been transformed into a puppet, he would probably be pale by now.

When Naraku sent him back, he solemnly promised Naraku that he would protect Hoshigakure.

If something really goes wrong in Hoshigakure now, even if Naraku doesn't pursue the matter, he will have no face to face.

Old Purple's decisiveness, coupled with the Tailed Beast Ball's incredible speed, left Sasori with no time to stop it, and he could only watch helplessly as the Tailed Beast Ball flew towards Hoshigakure.

In the blink of an eye, the Tailed Beast Ball had already traversed several kilometers and arrived above the canyon at the edge of Hoshigakure.

"Didn't they manage to stop it?"

On the ninth floor of the Star Shadow Tower, just as the Tailed Beast Ball approached the Star Ninja Village, among the many figures sitting cross-legged, one of them suddenly opened his eyes from his closed state.

brush!

The figure with its eyes open disappeared from the Star Shadow Tower and reappeared above the canyon outside the Star Ninja Village.

Calmly watching the Tailed Beast Ball flying towards him, he caught the True Qi Shadow Clone that had teleported to him using the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique.

"Flying Thunder God - Lightning Guide!"

The complex technique expanded from the palm of the True Qi Shadow Clone, as if opening an invisible passage, allowing the Tailed Beast Ball that crashed into the palm to instantly disappear into it.

In a forest somewhere in the Land of Earth.

Boom! ! !

A deafening explosion suddenly occurred.

The blinding light almost eclipsed the sun in the sky.

The astonishing explosion covered an area of ​​over one kilometer in radius, not only creating a huge crater resembling a meteorite impact, but also shattering trees and rocks within a radius of several kilometers with its powerful shockwave.

Back to Hoshinobi Village.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Tailed Beast Ball was transferred to one of the jutsu left by the main body in the Land of Earth. The True Qi Shadow Clone then looked towards the direction where the Tailed Beast Ball appeared in the distance.

"After all, he's a Jinchūriki, so it's safer to leave it to the main body to handle." The True Qi Shadow Clone gracefully landed on the ground in front of the canyon.

He landed a Flying Thunder God Technique under his feet, and then immediately dispelled it.

Bang!

brush!

The moment the true qi shadow clone disappeared, a new figure instantly took its place.

"Onoki is quite bold, daring to send out a Jinchūriki. In that case, I'll accept it without hesitation."

The one who replaced the True Qi Shadow Clone was Naraku, who teleported from the Land of Earth using the "Flying Thunder God Technique" the moment he received the memory feedback.

He looked into the distance, sensing the chakra fluctuations of Han and Lao Zi, sneered, and immediately stepped forward.

brush!

In the blink of an eye, Naraku vanished from his spot.

From the appearance of the True Qi Shadow Clone to the transfer of the Tailed Beast Ball, and then to the arrival of Naraku, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Old Purple, who had unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball, descended from the sky.

As he landed smoothly on the ground, his gaze remained fixed on the direction of Hoshigakure, awaiting the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball.

But what he got was not the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, but Naraku.

In a flash, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

boom! ! !

The immortal stroked my head, and his strength opened up my spiritual world.

Before Lao Zi could react, Naraku, who had teleported there instantly using the "Shrinking Earth to an Inch" technique, had already raised his hand and struck the other's head with a palm.

A terrifying, monstrous force pressed down, and Lao Zi screamed in agony as he was driven deep into the ground like a nail.

Even during this process, Lao Zi's seven orifices were splattered with blood due to the unbearable impact.

"A Jinchūriki is a Jinchūriki; their ability to withstand beatings is truly unique."

He easily perceived the situation of Lao Zi, whom he had driven underground.

Upon discovering that the other party was only injured and had not lost consciousness, Naraku praised them and lightly stomped his foot.

"Earth Release: Open the Earth and ascend to the Hori!"

With a light stomp, Naraku caused a mound resembling a small volcano to rise from the ground in front of him.

The next second, just like a volcanic eruption, a disheveled figure was ejected from the top of the mound.

This disheveled figure was none other than Lao Zi.

"Molten Core—"

Zheng! !

The old purple being ejected from the ground immediately took action.

When he caught sight of Naraku, he was shocked and hurriedly endured the pain to unleash Lava Release in a counterattack.

Just as he was about to spew out lava, four streams of black gold sword energy were already unleashed from Naraku's hand in the blink of an eye.

Blood splattered.

Four streams of profound gold sword energy instantly landed on Lao Zi's limbs.

Even though his body was exceptionally tough when he was in tailed beast form, Old Purple's limbs were still pierced through by the Xuanjin sword energy.

"what!!!"

Another scream came from Lao Zi's mouth.

While the power of the Tailed Beasts grants him extraordinary regenerative abilities, it does not mean he is immune to pain.

With his limbs pierced, Lao Zi undoubtedly felt pain no less severe than when his head was nearly shattered.

However, his screams did not last long.

After crippling Lao Zi's limbs with Xuanjin Sword Qi, Naraku calmly used his Shrinking Earth Movement technique and immediately appeared in front of his opponent.

With a raised hand, Naraku pressed a palm against the opponent's abdomen and descended, pressing Rōshi hard to the ground. Then, a complex spell appeared in his palm.

"Four Symbols Seal!"

"The Seal of Self-Karma's Binding!"

In just a moment, complex techniques covered Lao Zi's entire body.

The "Four Symbols Seal" allowed Old Purple to quickly exit his tailed beast form, while the "Self-Karma Binding Seal" left him stiff and unable to move an inch.

"As expected, everyone has their own expertise. Compared to a direct confrontation, using sealing techniques to deal with tailed beasts is much easier." Naraku clicked his tongue as he watched Old Purple exit his tailed beast form.

Naraku, having no chance to resist any longer, casually tossed the helpless Rōshi towards the onrushing Sasori.
