Shigure blocked Han's Lava Release with her left hand using pure strength, Shiyu her right hand formed a high-density white bone to block the Lava Release.
"What!? This is Kirigakure's Shikotsumyaku!?"
"Your Kekkei Genkai Lava Release, isn't it?! How could this be?"
Both of them were quite surprised and remained frozen in place.
"You're right, but I don't only know one Kekkei Genkai." Shiyu raised the corners of her mouth, then took a deep breath and spat out the acid again without using her hands.
"Get out of the way!" Han used his steam propulsion to quickly dodge Shiyu's Lava Release, while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, also performed a very elegant roll to dodge Shiyu's Lava Release.
"It seems Roshi has quite a lot of combat experience. Han? He seems younger, but his melee ability is still very strong." Shiyu also teased, "So, should I defeat you two one by one, or defeat you both at once?"
"Stop dreaming! Even if you possess more than one Kekkei Genkai, you can only manage a draw against the two of us at best." Roshi seemed to be influenced by the Four-Tails within him, making him extremely confident.
"His close-combat ability seems very strong. With one of us in melee and the other in ranged combat, the only way to defeat him is through coordinated attacks," Han suggested.
"My Lava Release is ineffective against his Shikotsumyaku, so I'll be responsible for providing long-range support and creating opportunities for you. Your steam propulsion speed and agility are superior, so you'll be in charge of the main attack." Roshi also agreed with Han's tactics.
Shiyu didn't care; he wanted to see just how strong the two of them really were.
"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!" Roshi spat out several magma balls Shiyu, who quickly Hand Seals.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Shiyu quickly Hand Seals. Water Release was the most effective counter to Lava Release. Shiyu used Water Dragon Bullets to accurately hit the magma balls one by one. The magma immediately released heat upon contact with water, forming a large amount of water vapor that blurred the surrounding vision. Under the impact of the water pressure from the Water Dragon Bullets, the magma balls shattered into pieces instantly.
"Boil Release: Unrivaled Monster Strength!" Roshi's plan succeeded. He created an opportunity for Han to strike at close range, and Han lived up to expectations. Using his own steam propulsion at maximum power, he raised his chakra to boiling point in one go, concentrated all the steam in his feet, and then struck Shiyu hard.
"Bang!!"
Shiyu's body was sent flying like a cannonball, then crashed into the rocks with a thud. The surrounding rocks cracked, and the entire hill collapsed, burying Shiyu completely in the rubble.
"Looks like we took them down," Roshi said, a rare smile appearing on his face.
"Good coordination. This makes the battle much easier." Han regained his composure, and his willpower returned to its peak.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was some distance away, also noticed that the chakra supplied by the Katsuyu on her body had decreased instantly.
"What's going on! Could it be!? Shiyu is in danger!" Tsunade desperately tried to escape, but was once again entangled in the Kitsuchi.
"Let's focus on the battle here." Kitsuchi knew that as long as Shiyu was defeated, Konoha's will would crumble, and this battle would become much easier.
"Damn it!" Tsunade was about to release the Yin Seal on her forehead when she sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation.
"I see! Shiyu is alright!" Tsunade was relieved.
At this moment, Han and Roshi were both completely gripped by Shiyu could crush them with just a little force.
"How could this be?"
"We clearly sent you flying, how come you're completely unharmed?"
"It's simple. I used steam to distract your vision and then used Shadow Clone. What you just knocked away was just a Shadow Clone." Shiyu then applied slightly more force, causing the two to suffer even more.
Shiyu naturally used the Susanoo of his Mangekyō Sharingan to capture the two of them.
"Lava Release Mode!" Roshi attempted to use Lava Release to burn Susanoo, but his wish was dashed once again.
"It can actually ignore Lava Release. What kind of technique is this?" Roshi couldn't break free at all, and Han, even with steam propulsion, couldn't break free from Shiyu's restraints.
"Aren't you the Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails? If I wanted to kill you, the Tailed Beast inside you wouldn't agree, would they?" Shiyu asked.
"So, you wanted to force us to use the power of the Tailed Beast?"
"Do you want to die?! When the Tailed Beast go berserk, they'll attack indiscriminately, friend or foe!"
Han and Roshi warned Shiyu, but Shiyu didn't care at all. He had already dealt with the Seven-Tails and the One-Tails, so he wouldn't be much worse off with the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. Besides, Shiyu needed to collect the bloodlines of all nine Tailed Beasts to make himself stronger.
"Ah!!!" Roshi and Han both let out heart-wrenching roars at the same time, they were in great pain from Shiyu's pinching.
"Humans! They actually know we exist and still want to force us out!?"
"You'll pay the price!"
Shiyu nearly crushed the two to death, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails could no longer bear it and used their Jinchuriki as a medium to attach their chakra to them.
Han's entire body transformed into a dark red Tailed Beast Cloak, while his overall form remained human. Five tails swayed back and forth behind him, and Tailed Beast Chakra surged forth. Looking at Roshi, four tails had also grown from his back, and he had also completed Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
Faced with the Five-Tails and Four-Tails unleashing their immense chakra, Shiyu's incomplete Susanoo was no longer able to contain them.
The two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki broke free from Shigure's Susanoo and launched an attack on him without saying a word.
For some reason, even though neither of them was fully conscious, they still launched an attack against Shiyu.
Shiyu dodged using the Body Flicker Technique and said with a smile, "It seems the two Tailed Beasts are preparing to join forces against me? How interesting!" Shiyu also did not back down, clasped his hands together, and instantly extracted all of his chakra. Although the chakra transferred by the Katsuyu was much less, it did not disappear.
Because Tsunade had already used the Hundred Healings Technique, transferring her chakra to the Katsuyu.
"Shiyu, leave this to us. The two Jinchuriki have gone berserk, so we can only leave it to you." Tsunade knew about the battle situation because of the Katsuyu's prompting beside her.
After Shiyu extracted the chakra, a light blue chakra that was in no way inferior to the Four-Tails and Five-Tails also erupted. The three types of chakra clashed, forming a powerful air wave.
"He actually forced Han and Roshi to this point!? He possesses chakra reserves on par with Tailed Beast! Just who is this Konoha Ninja!?" Iwagakure's commander, Kitsuchi, was astonished.
"Our reinforcements are really formidable," Shikaku said.
