This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Thanks to this, although Lao Zi cannot be called a "perfect jinchūriki", it is not difficult for him to borrow the power of the Four-Tails.

It's just that because of his own personality, Lao Zi prefers to use his own power most of the time rather than borrowing power from the four-tailed Lao Sun in his body.

But now, it has come to a moment of life and death, and Lao Zi can't care about these things.

Facing the double ice dragon tail launched by Mizunoe Ryosuke, he must obtain the power to match it as soon as possible.

The only thing that can give him this power is the four-tailed old sun in his body.

At the critical moment, Lao Zi closed his eyes and sank into his own consciousness.

The space of consciousness is different from reality, and there is no concept of time. Therefore, what happens in the space of consciousness is often just a moment in reality.

In Lao Zi's consciousness space, a monkey with red hair, huge size, bulging muscles and a majestic face was lying in the dark space to rest.

The four strong tails with red fur have already revealed its identity - Four-tailed Old Sun.

Similar to all other Jinchūriki, the image of the Four-Tails in Lao Shi's consciousness space is also covered with layer upon layer of shackles.

These shackles are the embodiment of the seal on the Four-Tailed Fox.

"Boy, you only remembered me when you couldn't beat me?"

The fact that Lao Zi had entered the consciousness space naturally could not be hidden from Siwei. He opened his eyes as big as searchlights and looked at Lao Zi with a slightly bored and mocking look.

"Yes."

"Four-Tails, I need your strength now."

"Please lend me your strength."

Lao Zi directly admitted it. In order to successfully borrow the power, Lao Zi simply used the "getting down from the ground" posture in front of the four Lao Suns.

Seeing this, the four-tailed fox's expression also changed slightly.

It is rare to see such a scene that can make the aloof Old Zi do such a thing.

At that moment, the Four-Tailed Old Sun, who had a relatively straightforward temper among the tailed beasts, no longer had the intention to tease Lao Zi.

"Boy, your opponent is not easy."

"I smell a familiar scent on him."

"That guy has the aura of an 'old friend' of mine."

The Four-Tailed Old Sun's expression became a little serious. Through several close fights between Lao Zi and Mizunoe Ryosuke, although the Four-Tailed Old Sun was sealed in Lao Zi's body, he still keenly sensed the aura of the Three-Tailed Isosuke on Mizunoe Ryosuke.

"You borrowed my power, so you must win."

"Especially can't lose to that guy!"

The Four-Tailed Old Sun said this with some gritted teeth. He did not hesitate to use his strength and gave a large amount of the tailed beast's chakra directly to Old Zi.

There is a saying that goes, "Water and fire are like each other." Water and fire are like heaven and earth to each other.

Among the nine tailed beasts, Old Sun and Isogai are the ones who are most incompatible with each other.

Therefore, after seeing the "old friend", the Four-Tails' first thought was to defeat Isogai. In fact, it was precisely because the opponent was Isogai's Jinchuriki Mizunoe Ryosuke that the Four-Tails agreed so readily to Lao Zi's request to borrow power.

Upon hearing this, Lao Zi was shocked.

Of course, he knew what species the Four-tailed Old Sun's "old friends" were.

At that moment, Lao Zi's heart sank, and his assessment of Mizunoe Ryosuke's strength rose to a new level.

At least until just now, all the power displayed by Mizunoe Ryosuke had no trace of the tailed beasts.

This shows that the other party, like him, is not highly dependent on the power of the tailed beast.

Suddenly, Lao Zi felt that the Fourth Mizukage was even more unfathomable.

"I know, I will win!"

Lao Zi said this seriously, exuding a resolute aura.

Yes, he will win and he must win!

"very good!"

Seeing this, the four-tailed old man nodded in satisfaction.

Lao Zi stopped dawdling and let his consciousness leave the conscious space and return to his body.

In just a blink of an eye, when Lao Zi once again looked at the barbs on the tail of the ice dragon that was about to attack him, his mentality had become completely different.

Because Lao Zi could feel a powerful force slowly emerging from his body.

It was this power that gave him the confidence to fight against the ice dragon's tail.

Scarlet chakra gushed out from Lao Zi's body madly, and an evil sticky red coat soon formed on Lao Zi's body.

Unlike Han, Lao Zi, who borrowed power through "legal means", was not affected in his consciousness after entering the half-tailed beast state.

At that moment, two (Zhao Ma Zhao) scarlet claws formed by the chakra of the tailed beast extended from Lao Zi's back, and were almost the same size as the tail of the attacking ice dragon.

The tail attacks of the two Ice Dragon Kings, which were powerful enough to shatter everything, were firmly grasped by two scarlet chakra hands.

"boom!!!!!"

The moment the ice dragon's tail touched the scarlet claws, a violent shock wave sprayed out from the intersection of the two to the surroundings, and the collision between the two sides formed a stalemate for a while.

“It’s not enough!!!”

Lao Zi shouted in his heart, and a large amount of tailed beast chakra burst out crazily as if it were free. The translucent scarlet claws originally condensed by the tailed beast chakra actually began to become as real as substance!

An evil aura seeped out from the claws, and the Ice Dragon King's proud tail spinning attack was actually hindered by the scarlet claws.

"Drink!!!"

Old Purple roared, and with a sudden effort, he manipulated the tailed beast's chakra to form a scarlet claw that tightly grasped the Ice Dragon King's tail. Then, he swung his claws vigorously, throwing the two Ice Dragon Kings into the air.

Chapter 347, Elegy under the Snow

After repelling the Ice Dragon King, Lao Zi looked at his "claws" that had turned completely scarlet with complicated eyes.

The "lava coat" on his body also turned into the "tailed beast chakra coat".

It’s no wonder that all the ninja villages in the ninja world are obsessed with the power of the tailed beasts, because this power is really strong!

Lao Zi clenched his "claws" into a fist, feeling the power flowing through his arms.

"raging!!!"

At this moment, the familiar lava power once again attached to Lao Zi's body surface.

Molten Chakra Mode + Half-Tailed Beast Transformation!

The combined power of the two made Lao Zi feel extremely powerful at the moment.

The power of the four-tailed Lao Sun has the properties of lava, so it goes without saying that this power is highly compatible with Lao Zi himself.

After entering the half-tailed beast state, Lao Zi's control over the lava escape technique actually improved.

Both the scale and temperature of the molten escape have made a qualitative leap!

Now, Lao Zi is fully confident that 747 can fight against Mizunoe Ryosuke!

About a few hundred meters away from Lao Zi, Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at the changes in Lao Zi's body, and a subtle change appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, due to the addition of the Molten Release Chakra mode, Lao Zi's appearance is not a single half-tailed beast state, but has undergone certain changes.

On the originally scarlet tailed beast coat, golden lava lines flow, making Lao Shi's half-tailed beast posture look extremely cool.

Obviously, compared with before, Lao Zi's strength has improved by more than one level.

I'm afraid he is no longer inferior to the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki.

Although this half-tailed beast appearance is not as good as the "golden version" of Prince Naruto in the original work, it is at least much stronger than other Jinchūriki.

Regardless of the appearance or the plot

Could this be the legendary treatment of a protagonist, a challenge beyond one's level? A breakthrough at the last minute?

From this perspective, Lao Zi on the opposite side seems a bit like the protagonist, and he has become the "villain" instead.

Mizunoe Ryosuke shook his head with a somewhat amusing look.

Lao Zi's current strength is obviously beyond the Ice Dragon King's ability to handle.

Mizunoe Ryosuke raised his head, looked at the heavy snow falling all over the sky, and smiled gently.

Well, in that case, now is the time for the Ice Dragon King to show his final value.

Mizunoe Ryosuke raised one hand and calmly received a "Shen" seal.

In the sky, the two ice dragon kings that were thrown away spread their wings, stopped, and swooped down towards Lao Zi again.

But this time, the Ice Dragon King's attack seemed to be significantly different from his previous dive attacks.

"Roar!!!"

The two ice dragon kings swooping down from the sky were shining with ice-blue light all over their bodies, and they carried a hint of absolute aura.

Ice escape. Celestial phenomena are coming. Ice Dragon King form. Dragon King's elegy!

Facing the Ice Dragon King swooping down again, Lao Zi seemed to realize something.

He slapped the ground with both hands, and a huge amount of lava erupted from his body, forming an impenetrable lava wall around his body.

Molten Release. Granite Technique!

The two Ice Dragon Kings slammed into the lava wall without mercy, and then their magnificent bodies exploded into ice crystals all over the sky, forming two terrifying ice storms around Lao Zi!!!

Back then, Kirigakure's Anbu leader, Yagura Karatachi, died in the Ice Dragon King's self-destruction attack.

The ice storm formed by the Ice Dragon King's self-detonation collided with the blazing lava. Although most of the explosions and broken ice crystals were blocked by the lava wall, many of the broken ice crystals still passed through the lava wall and pierced into Lao Zi's body.

After a while, the Ice Dragon King's last roar on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the lava wall used by Lao Zi for defense was completely solidified under the low temperature caused by the Ice Dragon King's destruction, turning into an ordinary and cold rock wall.

No one could see clearly what the current condition of Lao Zi was like behind the wall. Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at the solidified lava wall with his still calm and gentle expression, quietly waiting for Lao Zi's reaction.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, the solidified lava wall was broken from the inside, and a golden-red monster on all fours jumped out from the lava wall.

Under the self-detonation attack of the two ice dragon kings, Lao Zi, who was wearing a lava coat and a tailed beast chakra coat, looked a little embarrassed, with ice fragments of all sizes covered all over his body.

Despite this, Mizunoe Ryosuke knew in his heart that although Old Zi looked very miserable, he was not seriously injured.

Sure enough, as Lao Zi shook his body like an animal, the ice spikes all over his body were thrown off one after another.

Afterwards, the tailed beast chakra coat and lava coat on Lao Shi's body began to repair automatically.

Just as Mizunoe Ryosuke guessed, under such double defense, even the Ice Dragon King's self-sacrificing blast would only cause insignificant damage to Lao Zi.

"Fourth Mizukage, let's begin round two!"

The monster, wearing golden and red clothes and resembling a wild beast, spoke in human language.

Obviously, the power from the four tails made Lao Zi full of confidence at this time.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled, and his smile was particularly brilliant.

Chapter 348, Ice Armor. Blood-colored Holy Cloth Form

"Huh~."

The bitter cold wind howled across the bloody battlefield, blowing goose-feather-like snowflakes into the sky.

The Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja who were still fighting on the battlefield at this moment also shrank their necks due to the biting cold wind.

In the very center of the battlefield, the falling heavy snow was melted by the high temperature of the lava coat before it even reached Lao Zi.

"Roar!!!"

Lao Zi let out a beast roar and rushed towards Mizunoe Ryosuke like an arrow from Li Xuan.

Unlike before, after Lao Zi borrowed the power of the Four-Tailed Beast and entered the half-tailed beast state, the "quality" of his molten escape was greatly improved.

This time, Lao Zi is confident that he can be immune to the suppression of Mizunoe Ryosuke's Ice Release.

Facing Lao Zi who was running towards him like a wild horse, Mizunoe Ryosuke knew that he had to show some real skills.

In the current situation, it is naturally inappropriate to use the Rinnegan.

Even though there was no one around, in fact, even Mizunoe Ryosuke had no intention of using Chibaku Tensei to deal with Lao Zi. This was really a bit of a dimensionality reduction attack - there was no need for that.
