"We should be there soon."

After passing through a grove of trees, Mimura Yoru spoke.

What came into view was a series of undulating ridges and mounds, bare and devoid of any vegetation.

Suddenly, a roaring sound came, and the sky was illuminated by a bright light.

"That same trick again!"

Mimura Yoru's expression changed.

He had previously been on the front lines defending against the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, but withdrew after being injured.

Now that his injuries have mostly healed, he's ready to lead the way for Xingxia Xiu.

"A Tailed Beast Ball...?"

Xingxia Xiu's gaze sharpened, and he leaped into the air, soaring into the sky. Sure enough, he saw a Tailed Beast Ball hurtling around.

"That's Rashomon..."

Hoshino squinted and saw that the two Rashomon gates were broken through by the Tailed Beast Ball in the blink of an eye, and then crashed into high walls.

Xingxia Xiu quickly looked back and saw two figures.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

As their defenses were breached by the Tailed Beast Ball, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze disappeared.

On the other side, Orochimaru appeared to the side of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, and threw out a shuriken.

Covered in the chakra of the tailed beast, with four tails sprouting from his body, Rōshi simply turned his head slightly to dodge the shuriken.

But the next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared beside the shuriken with Jiraiya.

With one hand gripping the shuriken, Minato Namikaze conjured a Rasengan in the other.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya's white hair grew wildly, wrapping around Rōshi's four dancing tails.

boom!

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan hit Old Zi's shoulder.

The earth cracked and then sank with a roar, but the Rasengan broke through the tailed beast's chakra, only to be blocked by a layer of lava armor.

Rōshi roared, unleashing a powerful burst of chakra that sent Minato Namikaze flying.

His four tails also broke free from Jiraiya's restraints and lashed out at the flying Minato Namikaze.

But Minato Namikaze's figure disappeared.

Old Purple immediately turned around and lunged at Jiraiya.

The two figures clashed at high speed, and soon Jiraiya was sent flying backward, rolling repeatedly on the ground before crashing into a stone wall with a loud bang.

Just as Lao Zi was about to continue the pursuit, the ground beneath his feet turned into a swamp.

Orochimaru has come to our aid.

Minato Namikaze appeared beside Jiraiya, helped him up, and then disappeared again to reunite with Orochimaru.

"Let's retreat!"

Orochimaru said.

Jiraiya nodded helplessly.

Minato Namikaze, standing next to him, was already pale-faced and sweating profusely.

Using Flying Thunder God consumes too much energy.

He is only 11 years old now, and he has not been able to master the Flying Thunder God technique for very long, so he cannot leave marks on people at will.

There's no way to teleport away an attack like a Tailed Beast Ball.

That kind of coordinated attack would have been an instant kill against an ordinary ninja.

Unfortunately, he was a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, and the Rasengan couldn't even break through Rōshi's defense.

Just then.

With a cracking sound, the swamp was completely burned away by the lava. With a flick of its tail, Old Purple soared into the air.

Just as Jiraiya and his two companions were about to retreat, a figure descended from the sky.

"show!"

"Senior Xiu!"

"Xiujun!"

Jiraiya and the other two couldn't help but show their joy.

Looking at the half-tailed beast form of Roshi, Hoshino Shu turned his head slightly and asked, "Jiraiya, Orochimaru, are you confident you can seal the tailed beast?"

This question surprised Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Xingxia Xiu said, "Your sealing techniques should be much stronger than mine."

"If you capture the Four-Tails, are you confident you can seal it away?"

Jiraiya and Orochimaru exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of shock.

"A container is necessary."

Jiraiya said.

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "That's fine then."

At that moment, Minato Namikaze shouted, "Shu-senpai, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki is about to use his ultimate technique!"

I saw it on Star Show.

Old Purple was looking up, gathering the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Minato, as I told you before, the further development of the Rasengan requires the addition of nature transformation."

"Today I will teach you an S-rank ninjutsu that I developed based on the Rasengan."

As Hoshino spoke, he raised his right hand. First, a Rasengan condensed, then the sphere expanded, accompanied by a sharp, piercing buzzing sound, and the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken appeared.

"Wind Release: Rasengan!"

Hoshinobu held up the Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken, causing the surrounding air currents to swirl and his robes to flutter.

"Such powerful chakra!"

Jiraiya was startled.

Orochimaru said, "You've mastered both nature transformation and form transformation to the extreme!"

Minato Namikaze stared in astonishment at the Wind Release: Rasengan technique: "It can actually be done like that..."

He also tried to incorporate nature transformation, and he even knew Wind Release nature transformation himself, but he didn't succeed.

"Watch out, the attack is coming!"

Orochimaru's gaze sharpened, and he shouted.

Old Purple suddenly launched a Tailed Beast Ball.

Immediately afterwards, Hoshino Hide flicked his arm, and the Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken in his hand flew out.

"What?! It can actually be thrown!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Jiraiya's eyes widened.

Minato Namikaze's eyes shone brightly: "What an amazing technique!"

On the other side, Mimura Yomi, who had just arrived, also witnessed this scene and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Boom!

The Wind Release: Rasengan and the Tailed Beast Ball collided in mid-air, immediately bursting forth with intense light and forming an expanding sphere of light.

As the sphere of light rapidly contracts, a terrifying storm sweeps outwards, whipping up sand and stones.

Xingxia Xiu clasped her hands together, and wooden stakes rose from the ground in front of her, blocking the storm.

Just as the storm passed, a series of whooshing sounds rang out, followed by the wooden ingot wall being pierced by tails.

Old Purple is coming!

Bang!

The wooden ingot's walls exploded and were torn to shreds by its tail.

Xingxia Xiu remained motionless as thick vines emerged from the ground, binding the sweeping tails.

But then the elongated tail shortened, and Lao Zi pounced, slamming his arm down.

Before the attack landed, the terrifying chakra burst had already split the mask on Xingxia Xiu's face into two.

But Lao Zi's body suddenly stiffened, his arms and waist were completely wrapped by thick vines.

Roar!

Old Zi roared, magma gushing from his body, melting and severing the vines and trees.

However, the Star Show is faster.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!

Just as he was freed, Old Purple was immediately entangled by vines again. Just as he was about to unleash his chakra, the power surged outwards like a flood.

at the same time.

On the other side, there were also two teams of Iwagakure ninjas watching the battle.

Upon seeing the Wind Release: Rasengan appear, he immediately sensed something was wrong. He sent a clone back to send a message while simultaneously rushing towards the battlefield.

The latest novel is first published here!

When the Wood Release appeared, they were completely certain that the Wood Release messenger had arrived.

However, by the time they arrived, the enormous tree world had already fully formed.

Within the Tree World, the tailed beast cloak that Old Purple was wearing had also been removed, forcibly absorbed by Hoshino Shuu.

Old Purple was suspended in mid-air after reverting to his human form, leaving Jiraiya stunned.

Is that all?

"Isn't this a bit too fast...?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but murmur to himself.

Orochimaru's pupils narrowed: "Wood Release can extract the power of Tailed Beasts."

Minato Namikaze exclaimed sincerely, "As expected of Hideaki-senpai, he made several ninja villages encounter a Wood Release user who could make them abandon their missions!"

Capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was much easier than Hoshino Shu had anticipated.

The main reason is that Old Purple is still young and his control over the Four-Tails' power is still very rough, far less than it will be later.

Moreover, Wood Release is effective against Tailed Beasts.

After capturing him, he immediately formed hand seals and used the Heavenly Dream Walker technique to control Lao Zi.

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru, please prepare the seal."

Xingxia Xiu turned around and said.

Immediately afterward, Lao Zi was released and then suddenly moved, rushing towards the outside of the tree boundary to attack.

The Iwa Ninja who was standing outside the tree boundary was hesitating when Lao Zi suddenly rushed out.

"Old Zi, you..."

Before Iwagakure could even feel happy, he sensed something was wrong.

Old Purple was instantly covered by the Tailed Beast Cloak, and his tails lashed out, sending several Iwa ninja flying before they could react.

What followed was a completely one-sided massacre.

Having gained the upper hand, Old Purple pounced on the enemy with incredible speed, giving the Iwa ninja no chance to use their ninjutsu, and soon killed all of them.

Within the tree boundary.

Jiraiya formed hand seals, and a stone platform rose up.

"Shu, we can only use the Four Symbols Seal to seal it, but we are not sure if it can completely seal the Four-Tails Technique."

Jiraiya looked at Hoshino Hide with a serious expression: "Moreover, there must be a sufficiently powerful vessel."

Xingxia Xiuteng landed on the stone platform and said, "I'll be the container, is that enough?"

"What?"

Jiraiya and the other two were all shocked.

This means that Xingxia Xiu will become the Four-Tails Jinchuriki!

This……

Suddenly, Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is this... an order from the Third Hokage, or from Danzo?"

Jiraiya asked.

Orochimaru calmly replied, "Master and Danzo probably wouldn't give such an order. They probably wouldn't be able to be sure if Hideki could capture the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Shukun, becoming a Jinchūriki is an extremely dangerous thing, even though the power of the Tailed Beasts is very strong."

Jiraiya said solemnly, "Moreover, if we completely take away the Four-Tails, Iwagakure might..."

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "I know that the tailed beasts of Iwagakure were assigned by the First Hokage."

"The First Hokage distributed the Tailed Beasts to balance the situation in the ninja world. Now that the situation has been disrupted, it is only natural for Konoha to take back the Tailed Beasts."

That leaves no room for rebuttal.

Xingxia Xiu sat down cross-legged and said, "Let's begin, we don't have much time."

"It wouldn't be good if that guy Ohnoki came."

Orochimaru stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hide-kun's magnanimity is truly admirable."

Jiraiya chuckled helplessly, "This is going to be a headache for the teacher!"

After killing the Iwa ninja, Roshi returned, and Jiraiya and Orochimaru had already joined forces to use their own blood to draw a talisman around Hoshinoshita.

Minato Namikaze and Yoru Mimura, who had arrived, stood guard to one side.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were very fast, completing the drawing of the talisman in less than three minutes.

Under Xingxia Xiu's control, Lao Zi also leaped onto the stone platform and sat down in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Xingxia Xiu lowered her eyes.

Three seconds later, a face appeared, and the skin turned into tree bark.

Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Sage Mode!"

"Xiu, when did you finish your training?"

Xingxia Xiu opened his eyes and smiled, "I just completed this cultivation not long ago."

"Let's begin..."

With that, Hoshino Shu controlled Old Purple and released the Four-Tails.

The next moment, a massive amount of scarlet chakra erupted from Old Purple's body, forming a scarlet chakra pillar that shot into the sky.

A strong wind was blowing, causing Jiraiya and the others to raise their hands to cover their faces.

As the immense power of the Four-Tails was released, Rōshi's body began to change, and soon he transformed into a monkey.

Four-Tailed Son Goku!

Roar!

The four tails roared, and the violent power caused the surrounding trees to explode, forcing Jiraiya and the others to retreat repeatedly.

With his large, thick hands pressing down, lava appeared between his palms and fingers.

Four-tailed creatures attacked Xingxia Xiu.

But then thick vines bound him. Their eyes met, and Xingxia Xiu activated the Heavenly Dream Walker Technique, causing the four-tailed fox's eyelids to become heavy.

Around the stone platform, wooden stakes rose up one by one. Xingxia Xiu leaped up, and the character "座" (seat) appeared in his right palm, which he imprinted on the chest of the Four-Tails, drawing out a stream of blue chakra.

Now, the raging four-tailed beast calmed down completely, and its eyes slowly closed.

"You can seal it now!"

Hoshino-shita said to Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

The two immediately leaped forward and simultaneously formed a hand seal.

"The Four Symbols Seal!"

After Jiraiya finished forming the hand seals, he landed a palm strike on Hoshino Hide's abdomen.

At the same time, the incantation on the stone platform seemed to come alive, with some of it climbing up Hoshino's body and gathering at the abdomen where Jiraiya's palm landed.

One part is wrapped around the four tails like a chain.

Orochimaru clasped his hands together and hissed, "Seal!"
