Using the Raikage's Power to Fuse Kekkei Genkai

Taking advantage of Shazo's paralysis and sluggish reaction, the Fourth Raikage unleashed his strongest attack with all his might.

But Shazo managed to block this full-force punch with his left arm.

Moreover, no matter how you looked at it, he showed no signs of injury; he was just standing there, lost in a strange daze.

The Fourth Raikage was filled with confusion and bewilderment, unable to Byakugan, or whether he was strong or weak.

Just as the Raikage hesitated between delivering a follow-up punch or using a stronger Nintaijutsu attack, Shazo's expression suddenly changed, his face turning as white as paper after losing all color.

Shazo, trembling, pointed at the Fourth Raikage: "Wow, that was a powerful punch! Luckily you didn't use [Four Violet Fists], or I really wouldn't have been able to block it."

Then he vomited a mouthful of blood.

However, the blood didn't smell bloody at all; instead, it had a faint sweet tomato aroma.

Fourth Raikage: "----"

After a second of silence, he roared in fury, "You bastard, how dare you humiliate me?!"

Raikage swung his fist, crackling with electricity, once again.

This time, Shazo did not block the Raikage's attack. He also swung his fist, going all out on offense and not defending.

The two sides entered a brutal, hand-to-hand combat mode.

Shazo Elixir Embrace unleashed his inner power, his fists using the explosive force to violently pound the Fourth Raikage, quickly producing a thud. With sound came vibration, and vibration meant injury.

The Raikage was feeling very uncomfortable from the beating, Shazo was beaten even worse.

The Raikage's fist was exceptionally heavy, imbued with powerful Lightning Release; in just a moment, Shazo was covered in bruises and charred black.

But all the injuries were just superficial; Shazo's muscles, fascia, and bones beneath his skin were intact and did not affect his combat ability in the slightest.

Once he was certain that the Raikage was already enraged and wouldn't easily give up the attack, Shazo focused his attention and refined Fire Style Chakra and Lightning Release Chakra within his body.

Fire Style Chakra Nature Transformation into a highly compressed, stable ionic state, while Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation into the finest, discrete magnetic field. Then, the two violent Chakra converge into the heart.

The pounding heart, like a giant hammer, repeatedly pounded the two most explosive Chakra into one, and then, with the gravitational pull of the Kekkei Genkai False Core, they fused into Flame Style Chakra.

The moment the Flame Style Chakra appeared, the gravity of the False Core manifested as a repulsive force, attempting to tear apart the newly fused Flame Style Chakra.

Just then, an attack from the Fourth Raikage entered Shazo's body, dispersing the repulsive force of the False Core.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shazo merged that Flame Style Chakra into his heart, and then continued to merge new Flame Style Chakra into his heart.

The heart inside his body acts like a hammer, generating Flame Style Chakra, Fourth Raikage's fist outside his body acts like an electric hammer. The combined force from inside and outside forces the Flame Style Chakra into his heart.

As the Flame Style Chakra enters the heart, the information of Flame Style leaves an imprint in the genetic material and is rapidly perfected.

The Ninja's fighting pace was very fast. In just 2 minutes, Shazo had beaten the Fourth Raikage so badly that his mouth was full of the taste of rust. He himself was also beaten beyond recognition by the Raikage, and his whole body was covered with charred Thunder Bite marks.

But Shazo, in a sorry state, finally succeeded in fusing the last Kekkei Genkai.

Magnet Style, Explosion Style, Storm Release, Lava Style Boil Style, Ice Style Scorch Release, Swift Style, Wood Release, and Flame Style —these five Chakra undergo Nature Transformation and pair up, forming a small balance of Yin-Yang with the help of their corresponding internal organs.

Then, using the five internal organs as a bridge, the ten Kekkei Genkai formed a great balance within Shazo's body.

The previously encircling Kekkei Genkai False Core Shattering, Kekkei Genkai connected end to end, forming a circle.

This structure perfectly matches the original meaning of the word "Chakra": ring.

Having successfully completed a crucial step in his plan, Shazo was overcome with uncontrollable elation.

However, his elation turned to sorrow, revealing a huge flaw that the Fourth Raikage seized upon to gain the upper hand.

The Raikage grabbed Shazo's left hand and left shoulder, lifted him high, and poured in a surge of violent Lightning Release Chakra, causing Shazo's limbs to spasm uncontrollably.

Then, with all his might, he slammed Shazo downwards and attempted to detonate the Lightning Release Chakra he had previously injected.

[Liger Bomb]

Just as Shazo reached his highest point and was about to fall, his body suddenly erupted with a terrifying Chakra storm.

The Chakra storm acted like an air cushion, forcefully lifting the Raikage's fingers, allowing Shazo Zuo to break free from the Fourth Raikage's control.

The Lightning Release Chakra that was about to explode within him was also expelled from his body along with the storm.

Then, Shazo nimbly flipped in the air, glided 40 meters away, and landed lightly on the ground.

The Fourth Raikage's most lethal ninjutsu, known as a "one-hit-kill "Nintaijutsu, was broken by Shazo.

The Raikage raised his hands high, staring blankly at Shazo, his face filled with disbelief.

It was indeed unexpected that Shazo broke free from his control, but the terrifying power that Shazo displayed during the break was the real reason that left the Fourth Raikage stunned.

The Raikage poured a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra into Shazo's body. At the moment this Chakra was expelled, it still had a subtle connection with the Raikage.

He then sensed some of the conditions within Shazo's body.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer amount of Chakra he possessed was enough to terrify the Fourth Raikage.

He had never seen Ninja with such a massive amount of Chakra; even his younger brother Killer B and the Eight-Tails Gyuki combined didn't have that much.

Chakra is the foundation of Ninja, but simply Chakra won't frighten the Raikage, no matter how much there is.

Both the Fourth Raikage and Third Raikage engaged in numerous hand-to-hand battles with the Eight-Tails, Gyuki. Despite possessing less than one-tenth of the Tailed Beast's Tailed Beast Chakra, they still managed to defeat it decisively.

This is why the power of Jinchuriki far surpasses that of Tailed Beast.

But the Raikage knew that this Konoha Ninja was different.

He is Ninja Awakening the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. Wood Release is the Kekkei Genkai consumes the most Chakra known in the Ninja World, and it is also the Kekkei Genkai that is most suitable for making use of the advantage of having a large amount of Chakra.

Shazo completely covered the Forest of the Kumogakure camp with the Wood Release Secret Technique. In addition, when he fought the Fourth Raikage, he killed hundreds of Cloud Ninja and captured more than 8,000 Cloud Ninja alive.

He proved with his actual battle record that he was the second Hashirama Senju, a terrifying existence who could wipe out Ninja Army with a single Ninja.

The Fourth Raikage is unaware that Shazo has already ousted the Third Hokage, but he understands perfectly well that Shazo has won the war and will replace the Third Hokage once he returns to Konoha.

If we can't kill Shazo here, the First Hokage's rule over the Ninja World will be repeated.

The Fourth Raikage stared at Shazo with a fierce glint in his eyes. The lightning on his body surged again, his veins bulged even more, and a vein on his forehead even burst, spurting out a stream of dazzling blood.
