Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 98 Make way, I'm about to unleash my ultimate attack! (Happy Lantern Festival everyone!)

"They really are relentless in their pursuit..."

After dodging the magma ball once again, Hoshino Shuichi's figure suddenly rose into the air.

Rumble!

On the ground, the water suddenly surged up and collided with Lao Zi, who was chasing after him, causing water vapor to rise instantly.

At that moment, Chihiro also completed the hand seals.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Using the water terrain created by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the water dragon quickly took shape, its huge body winding and rising into the air, then its head swooped down and crashed into the surface of the water.

Old Zi clasped his hands together, opened his mouth, and a huge ball of magma collided with the dragon's head. With a roar, the dragon's head exploded, and water vapor filled the air.

"Um?"

Old Zi frowned, looked down, and saw that the ground beneath his feet had turned into a swamp, with swirling mud pulling him down.

Earth Escape-Yellow Quannum!

"Well done!"

Hoshinobi Hideichi in the air secretly praised him, then raised his hand, and with a violent and ear-piercing friction, the Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken quickly formed in his hand.

On the ground, Chihiro, hearing the sound, couldn't help but look up: "Such powerful wind chakra! Is this the S-rank wind chakra that Shuichi mentioned before?"

"How terrifying!"

"but……"

She turned to look at Lao Zi, and as expected, just like the previous Yun Shiren Ai, the Yellow Spring Swamp could not trap him.

Back then, A used the powerful high temperature of Lightning Release to quickly dry up the Swamp of the Underworld, while Roshi used the high temperature of Lava Release.

However, just as Rōshi was about to leap up, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ninjutsu was already complete.

Lightning Release: Four Pillars Binding!

Four pillars rose from all four sides, followed by flashes of lightning that enveloped Lao Zi as he leaped up, causing him to freeze and fall back down.

In the air, Hoshinobi Hideichi seized the opportunity and threw his Wind Release: Rasenshuriken down.

But then his pupils dilated.

Because he saw that Old Purple's body below was quickly covered by scarlet tailed beast chakra. Originally, he only had one tail, but now it quickly increased to four tails in the blink of an eye.

"This guy is going to partially transform into a tailed beast..."

Old Purple's four tails extended and soared into the sky, colliding with the Wind Release: Rasengan that was flying down at high speed.

In an instant, the blazing white light expanded, gradually enveloping the four tails and Old Purple.

"withdraw!"

Hoshinoichi appeared beside Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, grabbed one of them with each hand, and used his full power to perform the Lotus Steps technique, running away at full speed.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro couldn't help but turn around, only to see the sphere of light rapidly expanding, illuminating the night sky before shrinking back sharply, followed by a terrifying storm sweeping in.

"So...so strong!"

Chihiro was dumbfounded; she had never seen such powerful ninjutsu before.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was equally shocked, but then he laughed and exclaimed, "Flame, well done!"

After getting a sufficient distance away, Hoshino Shuichi stopped and, drawing on the swirling wind, said, "Captain, now is not the time to celebrate. That guy is already half-tailed beast transformed. The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is powerful, but it may not be enough to take him down."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, then said, "To deal with this guy, we still need to use Water Release and rely on the elemental advantage to wear him down."

As the storm subsided, a scarlet figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Everything was fine!

This was within Hoshino Shuichi's expectations. Old Purple's Lava Release Chakra Mode's Lava Armor Defense was incredibly powerful, capable of withstanding his Blue Flame Waterfall Blade head-on. His Tailed Beast Cloak was even stronger, and he also had super strong regenerative abilities.

The Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken didn't hit Rōshi completely; it was blocked by the tail of the Tailed Beast Cloak, at a distance.

"They're here!"

With a soft shout, Sarutobi Shinnosuke unleashed a swift attack from Rōshi, who was dressed in a tailed beast cloak.

Meanwhile, Hoshino and the other two formed hand seals almost simultaneously.

Water escape - water rushes into waves!

Sarutobi Shinnosuke opened his mouth first, and water gushed forth, creating a surging wave that crashed towards Rōshi.

But the next moment, the rolling waves were pierced and torn apart by Lao Zi's tail, rushing across the water.

However, Chihiro and Hoshino Shuichi also completed their Water Release techniques and launched a sudden attack.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Hoshino used two seals, while Chihiro used eight, but because they needed to coordinate, they still unleashed their power simultaneously.

The water converged, the two dragons intertwined, and then plunged down.

Double Dragon Slayer!

This time, they finally managed to defeat Lao Zi.

However, the next moment, before Sarutobi Shinnosuke could even use Lightning Release, tails shot out of the water like arrows.

Hoshino and his two companions immediately dodged.

"Captain, I'll handle the close-quarters combat and keep them occupied!"

Xingxia Xiu shouted loudly.

Although he only needs to form two hand seals for Water Release, he is actually far from being proficient in Water Release.

Moreover, the Jinchuriki's attack speed is too fast. Without someone to engage in close combat, without Kisame's dominant Water Release abilities, and with Samehada in hand that can absorb chakra, they are very difficult to deal with.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is proficient in all five elemental jutsu, but when it comes to water jutsu, he is still inferior to Kisame, with a significant difference in chakra alone.

"clear!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke dodged in response.

Hoshino Hideichi immediately darted forward, his body moving at high speed on the water's surface.

Water Instantaneous Body Technique!

I learned this from Shinnosuke Sarutobi!

This is also the third type of body-flicker technique that Hoshino Shuichi has mastered, in addition to the basic body-flicker technique, Fire Body-Flicker - Lotus Steps.

While moving at high speed, it dodged the two scarlet tails that kept attacking it.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro teamed up to use Water Release to dodge the tail attack while suddenly using the Water Severing Wave Technique to cut off the tail that was attacking Hoshino Shuichi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hoshinoichi rushed forward and killed Rōshi, his Ame no Mikoto radiating a blue-green light as he slashed down.

Snapped!

Old Purple actually used both palms to catch the falling Ame-no-Kage.

However, the high temperature on the blade burned away the tailed beast's outer garment, and the terrible burning caused Old Purple to let out a painful scream.

But he gritted his teeth and didn't let go, or rather, at this moment, Old Purple was on the verge of going berserk, and his newly grown tail pierced through Xingxia Xiuyi like a sword.

Two streams of water suddenly rose up and entangled the two tails.

Almost simultaneously, the lotus flower on the Heavenly Sword bloomed towards Old Purple.

Fiery Lotus!

Boom!

Before Old Purple's other two tails could even hit Hoshino Shuuichi, he was blasted away.

Immediately afterwards, the water dragon roared, opened its mouth and bit Old Purple, then swooped down from the air and plunged into the water with a bang, creating a huge wave.

As the water rippled, Hoshino Shuichi raised his left hand with a curved claw, and a dragon head appeared. Its mouth opened, and intensely white chakra was highly concentrated. Then, a thin beam of light shot out.

Dragon's Breath - A Sword Separates Worlds!

The high-temperature rays penetrated the water, and Lao Zi instinctively sensed the danger. He twisted his body to avoid vital organs, allowing the high-temperature rays to only pierce his shoulder.

Hoshinoichi raised his left hand, and a beam of blazing white light shot up, slicing through Rōshi's body and tailed beast cloak.

Crimson chakra immediately gushed out from the wound, and Old Purple let out a beast-like roar.

boom!

The violent and evil chakra stirred up the water.

"It seems like things have gotten out of hand..."

Hoshita Shuichi sensed something was wrong; it seemed like Old Purple was about to go berserk.

He immediately retreated to Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro's side: "Captain, something's wrong, this guy's about to go berserk!"

Sure enough, the next moment, a colossal creature appeared.

"Go to hell!"

Old Zi's voice rang out.

"He was actually able to stay rational..."

Hoshino Hideichi was surprised, then sheathed his sword and raised his right hand.

Wind Release: Rasengan!

At the same time, the deep purple Tailed Beast Ball in the mouth of the four-tailed Rascal was completed and shot out.

Hoshinoichi also threw out his Wind Release: Rasengan, which collided with the Tailed Beast Ball.

"retreat!"

Hoshino and his two companions quickly retreated.

The Wind Release: Rasengan and the Tailed Beast Ball exploded simultaneously, accompanied by a deafening sound and an intense, sun-like light. Terrifying power expanded outwards, erupting like a rapidly expanding ball of light.

After expanding to a certain extent, it contracts rapidly, followed by a terrible storm that sweeps across the land.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke pressed his hands to the ground.

Earth Release: Multiple Earth Flow Walls!

Three layers of earthen walls rose up in front of Xingxia Xiuyi and his two companions.

The next moment, accompanied by a roar, the storm arrived, tearing apart the two walls in front of it and finally stopping the storm.

When the storm passed, the ground shook violently.

As Hoshino and his two companions climbed the earthen wall, they saw the four tails wagging wildly as they charged towards them.

"This is really troublesome..."

Hoshino Shuichi was helpless.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "En, I and Jin will hold them off. You find the right moment to use Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. As long as it hits, even a Tailed Beast won't be safe."

"No, Captain, I want it simple, one move and it's over!"

Hoshino Shuichi leaped off the earthen wall.

With the Ama-no-Tsurugi in hand, he plunged it into the ground under the watchful eyes of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro.

At that moment, the chakra that had been accumulating in his abdomen for a short time poured out.

Not only that, but the Yin seal on his forehead, which hadn't been broken during the last battle with the AB duo, was also broken at this moment.

Fiery Lotus!

Click!

The earth cracked open, and a blazing blue light emerged from it, as if a terrifying dragon was swimming underground.

"This is……"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked: "An S-rank swordsmanship technique!"

Chihiro exclaimed in surprise, "Such a massive amount of chakra, Flame..."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "It should be some kind of sealing technique that can seal chakra."

Their gaze followed the cracked earth and then saw the crack split into three: the middle one rushed straight towards the four tails, while the two on the left and right circled around.

Seeing the cracks spreading, the Four-Tails stopped and pressed down with both palms, turning the earth into a large expanse of lava.

Fire Release?

He is least afraid of fire-style attacks.

Rumble!

Flames erupted from the ground, colliding with the sea of ​​lava created by the four tails, creating waves of lava.

But this couldn't harm the Four-Tails; even high temperatures had no effect on it.

At the same time, around the four tails, a circle of ground fissures had formed, and then clusters of blue flames erupted, forming fire lotuses.

These fire lotuses vary in size and height.

The taller ones didn't even reach the height of the four-tailed beast.

All the flower buds of the fire lotus face the four tails in the center, then bloom and explode.

At this moment, a closed, terrifying explosive space was formed, and the terrifying explosive force was squeezed all the way to the four tails in the middle.

In an instant, under the gazes of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, their vision was completely distorted, and the place where the Four-Tails was located seemed to be being kneaded by several hands, and even space itself seemed to be twisted.

This place has been transformed into a veritable inferno!

The enormous four-tailed creature seemed to freeze for a moment as it wrapped itself in its four tails, and then its body exploded with large holes.

He can withstand or even ignore high temperatures, but he cannot ignore impacts and pressure.

It's a long story, but in reality, the eruption of the Fiery Lotus happens in the blink of an eye.

Then Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others felt a wave of heat sweep over them, and their previously distorted vision gradually returned to normal.

The enormous four-tailed creature collapsed, its size rapidly shrinking until it reverted to its original form, Old Purple, lying painfully on the scorched and cracked earth.

Almost simultaneously, Hoshino Shuichi's body went limp.

"inflammation!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared instantly and hugged Hoshinoichi, and Chihiro also appeared immediately, drawing her Kusanagi.

"withdraw!"

Without time to check on Old Purple's condition, the two immediately prepared to retreat with the exhausted Hoshino Shuichi.

"etc……"

Hoshino Shuichi said weakly, "Captain, use the sealing scroll to collect a few pieces of Four-Tails meat."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke glanced at the small scroll that Hoshinobi Shuichi was carrying, nodded immediately, and quickly got to work.

Chihiro helped Hoshino up and asked, "Homura, do you want to research the power of the Tailed Beasts?"

That's extremely dangerous.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled weakly, "It's alright, I'll hand it over to Lord Orochimaru for research later."

Chihiro nodded, took out a soldier's ration pill, removed Hoshino Shuichi's mask, and then fed it to him.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke returned quickly and then immediately retreated with Hoshinoshita Shuichi.

On Sarutobi Shinnosuke's back, Hoshinoshita Shuichi's eyes were vacant, but he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why are my opponents always so strong, damn it!"

His dream of filling the two Yin Seals this year has been completely shattered after the two major battles!

However... the feeling of unleashing a powerful attack is indeed very satisfying.

That instantaneous outpouring, that magnificent technique, brought the pleasure to its peak in an instant!

And it wasn't without any gains.

A chunk of meat from the Four-Tailed Beast!

This is of great research value!
