Monster Battle
The way the war broke out was beyond imagination.
Neither Konoha nor Stone Ninja anticipated that the war would break out in this way.
The probing and testing by the Genin didn't even begin; it started with a fierce battle between the two sides' top fighters, a massive and earth-shattering war that destroyed mountains and tore the earth apart.
The atmosphere trembled.
The land within a radius of tens of kilometers was transformed into a purgatory.
"This is practically a real-life version of Zero 4."
A thick ice wall stands tall on the earth, and behind the ice wall are Yuki Yoizuki and Rokuro Kaguya.
Hearing Yuki Yoizuki's soft mutterings, Rokuro Kaguya touched his nose, his gaze passing over the ice wall and turning north, where three enormous monsters, each a hundred meters tall, were fighting.
"*Zura 4? What's that?" Yuki Yoizuki looked at Rokuro Kaguya with a puzzled expression.
"What? You haven't seen it?" The latter stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"What have you seen?"
"The movie theater... Zero 4 is a movie that was released last year. It played in the village for almost a month, and it was very popular. Didn't you go see it?"
"I never go to places like that."
This powerful answer left Rokuro Kaguya speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere subtly became eerie. He thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and said, "It's okay if you haven't seen it. Zira is a monster movie, and it's a series. The latest fourth movie is mainly about giant monsters born from the depths of the sea, volcanoes, and clouds in the sky fighting each other... In short, it's very similar to what we're doing now, it's all about monster battles."
A wooden figure with an angry gaze, a Four-Tails red-haired ape, and a strange monster with five tails.
All three are colossal beings, terrifying entities whose mere gestures and movements exude immense power, not to mention the unfathomable strength they wield.
The Four-Tails, or rather, the red-haired gorilla, turned the surrounding earth into magma. The rolling, crimson lava eroded everything in its path. Even the wooden man dared not take the blow head-on with his fists. Faced with such a destructive force as the high-temperature magma, the Nawaki summoned a mighty and fierce attack, managing to suppress the spread of the magma.
The Wood Style Jutsu of the Senju of the Forest is Kekkei Genkai formed by combining the power of Water Release and Earth Release. To master Wood Release, one must master Water Release and Earth Release.
Not to mention that the Senju of the Forest also had a master of Water Release; the Second Hokage was definitely the best among all the Water Release ninjas recorded in the history of the Shinobi World.
"Water Release: Art of the Water Basin."
The Nawaki created huge waterfalls on the wooden figure's body, like five or six shimmering jade belts hanging on it. As the wooden figure moved, the water surged and rolled, extinguishing the incoming lava projectiles.
"Thump!!"
Five-Tails delivered a fierce headbutt that slammed into the wooden doll's left waist, causing the doll to stagger several steps, leaving huge footprints on the ground before it could barely stand.
"You bastard, don't even think about getting away so easily."
Nawaki became fierce.
Under his control, the wooden man reacted with incredible agility. As soon as he gained a firm footing, he grabbed the Five-Tails' horn with his other hand. A surging waterfall of water flowed down his arm, and the icy waves drenched the Five-Tails' head and face.
Even Tailed Beast, with water flowing into its eyes, couldn't open them for a moment.
Strictly speaking, Tailed Beasts are not biological beings; their true form is a massive aggregation of Chakra. However, when they manifest in the form of wild beasts, they inevitably develop corresponding characteristics.
For example, One-Tail dislikes water, Three-Tails fear drought; this is the most obvious manifestation.
"Boiling Release, Unrivaled Super Strength"
Once again caught by its own horn, the Five-Tails roared angrily. It instinctively felt humiliated, and its Chakra surged violently within its well-proportioned and beautiful body, suddenly unleashing immense power.
For a moment, the wooden doll was shaken by the Five-Tails, almost losing its grip on the sharp horn in its hand. Its heavy, mountain-like body was lifted up, its feet dangling off the ground. When the Five-Tails flicked its head, the wooden doll was struck as if by lightning. A tremendous force was rapidly transmitted to it, and the wooden doll's arms made a cracking sound. It was lifted into the air like a light, flimsy scarecrow.
"Damn it! Wood Locking Wall!"
The wooden figure flew through the air. Nawaki cursed rudely, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment. Before the terrifying air current could break his bones, the wooden barrier, like a clam shell, closed tightly, hiding him inside.
The wooden walls, stronger than steel, withstood the immense wind pressure, protecting the Nawaki from harm.
He was filled with resentment, but it was a pity that he had not mastered the Wood Dragon Jutsu. Otherwise, combined with the Wood Human Technique, these Tailed Beasts would be nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of him, completely vulnerable.
The Wood Dragon Jutsu is an extremely profound technique within the Wood Style Jutsu. In terms of difficulty of mastering it, it is even more challenging than the Wood Human Technique. This technique was also the First Hokage's trump card when subduing the Tailed Beasts. By combining the Wood Human and Wood Dragon Techniques, the First Hokage could subdue the Tailed Beasts in just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, Nawaki has only mastered the Wood Human Technique; he hasn't fully grasped the Wood Dragon Jutsu yet and is still figuring it out and practicing...
"Lava Release, Great Volcano Bullet"
The orangutan opened its mouth and spewed out hundreds of enormous magma projectiles, trailing billowing black smoke and crimson flames, aiming at the wooden figure in mid-air.
Neither of the Tailed Beasts had regained their senses; they were fighting solely on their animalistic instincts.
Neither of the two Jinchuriki of Stone Ninja were Perfect Jinchuriki; their limit was Partial Tailed Beast Transformation. When they Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, they couldn't maintain their consciousness at all.
The Perfect Jinchuriki still exists only in the realm of imagination. For First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, these great figures, forcibly controlled the Tailed Beasts with absolute power. Their own strength was superior to that of the Tailed Beasts. For them, the Tailed Beasts were just one of many methods, not the only one.
The so-called Perfect Jinchuriki refers to someone who can perfectly unleash the power of the Tailed Beast while maintaining their rationality; the power of the Tailed Beast is everything to them.
Although none of the major ninja villages have yet completed the research on the Perfect Jinchuriki, they have not come away empty-handed in the process.
In this regard, Stone Ninja also has unique achievements. When the Jinchuriki Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, the will of the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast restrain each other, and neither can completely seize control of the body, thus allowing the Tailed Beast to fight with the instincts of a wild beast.
This method is to prevent the Tailed Beast's own consciousness from taking control of its body and potentially causing it to do some irrational things.
After all, who knows if the Four-Tails and Five-Tails have any grudges against the Stone Ninja? Perhaps once their true consciousness emerges, they will turn around and fight the Stone Ninja. This situation is very likely to happen.
Therefore, the Stone Ninja devised this trick, placing Jinchuriki in areas densely populated with enemies and using their instincts to cause destruction and slaughter.
Moreover, the Tailed Beasts possess extremely strong fighting instincts. Without much thought or consideration, they recklessly slaughter in accordance with their inherent savage nature, achieving remarkable results.
Tailed Beasts are aggregates of Chakra, and Tailed Beast Chakra is filled with many negative factors such as despair, anger, brutality, madness, and hatred. These negative factors are then reflected in the Tailed Beasts ' personalities, forming a killing and destructive instinct. Ironically, the Tailed Beasts ' rationality suppresses this innate instinct.
Because of the Tailed Beasts ' peculiar nature, many rumors about Tailed Beast have even emerged. For example, some say that the Tailed Beasts are monsters born from the resentment of ninjas who died on the battlefield, or that they are the Tailed Beasts who transformed into the unjustly dead to take revenge on all living things in the world. Such rumors still circulate today.
Even the Five Great Ninja Villages still don't understand when, where, and how the Tailed Beasts came to be.
After all, the existence of Tailed Beasts is completely inconsistent with the characteristics of living beings; they merely possess the appearance of living beings. This bizarre way of existence has baffled many researchers, who have yet to reach a reasonable conclusion. (To be continued)
