Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 329 Black Susanoo

"boom."

The ground exploded, and with a series of cracking sounds, a crack in the ground rapidly dragged, expanded, and tore open.

Some ninjas who couldn't dodge in time unfortunately fell into the abyss.

Soulfire raised his arm, and blue flames surged from his palm and tiger's mouth, gathering into a dazzling ice sword. He exuded a murderous aura, looking down at the crowd below, who were like ants, like a demon.

Aokiji's eyes were filled with ferocious blood vessels, and the excessive bloodshot eyes made one worry that they might burst at any moment.

With a thunderous roar, Soulfire's eyes flashed with a fierce and violent light as it wielded its ice sword and slashed down with ruthless force.

Faced with the chilling sword energy coming straight at them, everyone felt their scalp tingle and were filled with terror, desperately trying to move their legs to escape the range of the attack.

However, the slash of the Soul Fire far exceeded everyone's expectations. The sword energy swept across the land, engulfing all enemies in front of it. Even the residual force of the slash shattered and blew away the rocks behind the ninjas, leaving only deep cracks.

Immediately afterwards, with each whoosh of the ice sword of soul fire, groups of ninjas would be reduced to piles of corpses.

Madara Uchiha, who was outside the attack range, squinted at Aokiji, who was standing on the shoulder of the Soul Flame.

Judging from his performance just now, Aokiji's eye technique is almost as powerful as his Susanoo when he is not wearing the Tengu Armor.

Considering that the Soulfire also seems to possess the ability to devour souls, it could become even stronger in the future.

Is it really a good idea to unleash such power from this move?

How long can your current physical condition sustain this state?

Aokiji's eyes burned with pain, and bright red blood kept oozing from the bottom of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks. In addition, every cell in his body was in excruciating pain.

Normally, Aokiji would have been in so much pain that he would have been swaying unsteadily just standing up.

What sustains him now is his intense hatred and belief in revenge...

The hatred that was ten, a hundred, or a thousand times greater than his body was transformed into energy, becoming the power of Aokiji's limbs.

The Mangekyou Sharingan possesses this power: the stronger the hatred one harbors, the more powerful these eyes become.

However, the owner of the corresponding eye will become extremely mentally unstable, fall into madness, and become mentally ill.

To keep this power driving him into battle, Aokiji took a deep breath and channeled his deep hatred into words, releasing them into the air.

"Soul fire, burn everything!"

Amidst the roar of the blue pheasant, blood seeping from its mouth, the Soul Flame responded to its master's call, emitting a beast-like howl.

The roar seemed to have a soul-shaking effect, and everyone was jolted awake by it.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, watching Aokiji descend into madness, solemnly warned his companions, "You all step back. Don't go any further, or your souls after death will become food for this guy, making him stronger and stronger."

"But……"

Everyone was taken aback.

That's true, but we've already made such a huge sacrifice. If we let Aokiji get away, it's easy to imagine what serious trouble will follow.

"I'll deal with this guy myself next."

With a resolute gaze, he looked at the Four-Tails Jinchuriki who was wreaking havoc with his soul fire, took out a pill from his body and swallowed it, then formed hand seals to gather chakra in his abdomen.

The only monsters you can fight are monsters.

The medicine he just took was a special secret medicine. After taking it, combined with a unique ninjutsu, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was able to fight in the form of a tailed beast without losing his mind.

Of course, the cost is also enormous, and he doesn't want to take this kind of medicine unless absolutely necessary.

He has no choice but to take this medication now.

Although they still outnumbered Aokiji, his abilities were too strange. The more souls he devoured, the stronger he seemed to become. If this continued, their group was very likely to be defeated.

Come out, Four-Tailed Beast!

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki's chakra erupted like a geyser, and four red tails surged from his body, engulfing the Jinchuriki and obscuring him from view. Then, a gigantic figure emerged from the tails, growing larger at an extremely rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a gigantic creature tens of meters tall, with the face of Takenori Akagi, a pair of bull horns on its head, two huge canine teeth like stone pillars, and sharp ridges at the front and back.

With two hands and two feet, its entire body is covered in red fur, and it has four thick red tails. Its overall outline is somewhat similar to a giant red gorilla, hence the name "Four-Tailed Gorilla".

Seeing the four tails appear greatly boosted the morale of the crowd.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, now transformed into the Four-Tails, pounded his chest and stomped his feet, roaring as magma surged from his body, enveloping him completely, and mottled fire patterns appeared on his chest.

Lava Release Chakra Mode.

The Four-Tails, enveloped in magma, charged toward Aokiji by slamming its twin hammers into the ground. In this state, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, while still maintaining his rationality, unconsciously moved closer to the Four-Tails in some of his actions.

Facing the menacing four-tailed gorilla, Soul Fire folded his elbow joints and thrust out with a powerful punch.

The four-tailed gorilla showed no fear and threw a punch to meet the attack.

The two fists clashed, neither giving way.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki was secretly shocked. The opponent's summoned creature was so powerful that it could harden the Four-Tails' fist and not be at a disadvantage.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki noticed Aokiji on the shoulder of the Soul Flame, and with a thought in mind, magma surged from his thick arm, billowing black smoke.

Lava Release: Great Fireball

Flames erupted from the fist wrapped around his arm. The four-tailed gorilla roared like thunder, unleashing a punch with the terrifying power of a volcanic eruption.

The explosive punch was so powerful that even the Soul Fire couldn't withstand it. The fist was knocked away, the body lost its footing, and the person staggered backward. Only by rapidly spinning the wheels of the heels on their slender legs, compared to their thick arms, could they barely maintain their momentum.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki sneered.

With an explosion, numerous magma fists burst forth from the air, hurtling towards Aokiji, determined to obliterate his mortal body.

Aokiji stared coldly at the impending attack of the magma fist, knowing that now was not the time to use any move.

He quickly redirected the Soul Flame to defend, placing his hand horizontally in front of Aokiji to deflect all the incoming magma fists.

Seizing the opportunity, the four-tailed gorilla transformed its entire body into magma, concentrating it in its hand, and unleashed a punch at Aokiji's true form.

Lava Release: Needle at the Bottom of the Sea

The attack was very close and difficult to dodge. Soulfire gripped Aokiji, turned his body, and forcefully took a punch with his back. His back exploded, and Soulfire staggered, one knee touching the ground.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the four-tailed creature leaped up, clenched its fists, and slammed its body downwards.

The Soul Fire hurriedly dodged, and the four-tailed gorilla's fist lost its target and landed heavily on the ground. Unexpectedly, magma surged from the ground, gathering into a sea of ​​magma, which then erupted like a volcano in an instant.

This Lava Release: Flower Fruit Mountain technique has an extremely large range, and the resulting pillar of magma envelops Aokiji and his Soul Flame.

The Five-Tails Jinchūriki's strategy is clear: attack the main body.

Seeing Aokiji completely enveloped by this move, the surrounding ninjas felt a surge of joy at the prospect of victory.

However, this joy did not last long. The next second, a deep blue hand wrapped in blue flames pierced through the lava and grabbed the four-tailed gorilla by the throat with one hand.

Feeling the pain in its throat, the four-tailed gorilla's eyes widened, its face filled with disbelief.

impossible--!

The blue flames of the Soul Fire have a freezing effect, so it's understandable that the Soul Fire, which is wrapped in blue flames, could inflict burns from the Ice Force Hell Flower Fruit Mountain. However, it should be very lethal to Aokiji, who only has flesh and blood.

Logically speaking, if the main body is severely injured, it shouldn't still be able to control the Soul Fire.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki was both confused and astonished.

As the lava began to recede, he was able to see the entire area beneath it.

All that could be seen around the Soul Flame was a row of pitch-black skeletons surrounding the Aokiji, with blue flames burning around them. It seemed that this was what had blocked his magma impact.

The blue flames could be understood as the flames of the soul, but what were those black skeletons surrounding Aokiji? They also exuded a very ominous aura.

Susanoo...

Madara Uchiha stared wide-eyed at the black skeleton surrounding Aokiji, his expression one of utter astonishment, even disbelief.
