Tōka's summoned beast-Satori!
Return to the Deep Valley, Valley is surrounded by numerous mountain peaks like a corridor, it is shrouded in a thick fog that never dissipates.
Even on a sunny day, it's difficult to see anything more than ten steps away.
Three dark figures suddenly streaked across the eerie Valley sky.
The thick fog was breached, and after the dark figure flashed by, the nearby fog quickly gathered again to fill the gap.
"Is this the way Return to the Deep Valley? The fog is so thick." Deidara stood on the giant bird's back, barely able to control the flight even with his goggles on.
The speed suddenly decreased, Return to the Deep Valley was surrounded by countless rocks, and if they flew too fast, they would easily crash into the misty mountain walls.
Why transport such a large metal box to this location?
"The first mountain peak should be there... Hmm." Deidara's eyes narrowed as he locked onto the first mountain peak Return to the Deep Valley.
Just then...
"That's right, this is the place!" Suddenly, a cold voice rang in everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards!
At the mountaintop, faint energy fluctuations surged.
The thick fog was dispersed by a cluster of black-patterned runes, and the space shattered like ripples on ink-like water. A Phantom gradually solidified and became a real figure.
Tōka strolled along, floating in mid-air in front of Deidara and the others.
Aside from the Third Tsuchikage, it seems there is no other person who can fly without relying on external objects.
When everyone saw Tōka floating mysteriously in the air, they stared in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbelief.
They were not only amazed by Tōka's flying ability, but also shocked by Tōka speed.
Even when flying, Deidara's giant bird is incredibly fast.
"Now that the boxes have been delivered, our mission is complete," Han said, regaining his composure first.
As soon as he finished speaking, Han leaped into the air, drawing an arc in the air before landing on the large bird where Deidara and the other two were.
He then gave Deidara a look.
Deidara nodded slightly, changed his hand seals, and with two loud bangs, the Jutsu Formula the other two Clay Giant Bird was dispelled.
The Box of Paradise also crashed to the ground immediately. Under the Gravity, the huge box broke through the thick fog and fell straight to the bottom of the Valley.
Boom!!
Shortly after, a deafening crash erupted, and a swirling gust of wind sent the giant bird tumbling about.
Deidara controlled the giant bird, riding the wind upwards and rapidly flying Return to the Deep Valley.
The moment Tōka appeared, Deidara felt a sense of foreboding.
"I was just worried about not having enough chakra to feed the Box of Paradise, how could I let you leave so easily!"
A faint smile played on Tōka's lips, and an Ice Blue light flickered in her eyes.
Snap!
Tōka clasped his hands together, and a powerful surge of Senjutsu Chakra within his body churned like boiling water, surging and crashing like towering waves.
A massive, overwhelming shockwave erupted.
Rumble!
The earth churned and rose up as if a giant had come to life, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was not a giant at all, but a long dragon formed from solidified earth and stone!
Puff!
In a flash, the fire within the stone ignited the air, and a massive fire dragon soared into the sky as the earth churned!
A thunderclap flashed across the sky, its dazzling light illuminating the gray, Return to the Deep Valley.
Thunder Dragon!!
Glug glug...
In the underground river, the water surged upwards, and the torrent that broke through the earth's layers transformed into an Ice Blue water dragon, roaring and hissing.
Finally, Tōka changed his hand seal and whispered something.
"Wind sprites, dance with my fingertips!"
Waaaaah...
A strong wind arose, and the faint sound of a raging storm could be heard.
Sage Art: Five Dragon Forbidden Domain!
"You can't leave now." As Tōka finished speaking, Five Chakra Natures roared and circled Return to the Deep Valley, forming an absolutely sealed-off area.
The giant bird that Deidara and the others were riding on immediately became unstable the moment it approached the edge of the restricted area.
The Clay Giant Bird trembled, paused in mid-air, and then began to expand wildly.
"Oh no, the Clay Giant Bird is about to explode! Get out of here... Ugh!" Deidara's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm as his body tilted to the side.
The chakra that had been gathered at his feet and absorbed from the back of the giant bird immediately dissipated.
In the fiercely windy sky, the giant bird soared upwards against the wind, while Deidara retreated with the wind.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion rang out, causing the entire Return to the Deep Valley to tremble. A violent shockwave erupted, scattering the thick fog in the sky.
The thick fog that had shrouded the Return to the Deep Valley year-round receded as if melting away ice and snow.
In a fleeting glimpse, I was shocked by the jagged, rocky peaks, which resembled terrified faces with their mouths agape, emitting mournful howls.
Sage Art: Five Dragon Forbidden Domain utilizes the five elemental chakras infused with Natural Energy. Within this forbidden domain, all Ninjutsu is transformed into its most primal energy.
Forbidden Zone, Zone of Forbidden Jutsu.
Within the forbidden domain Jutsu Formula, apart from Senjutsu that transcend the realm of Ninjutsu and incorporate Natural Energy, and Kekkei Mōra incorporate Yang Release, no other Jutsu Formula can be used.
Dojutsu are not included in this list, but unfortunately, Deidara and the others do not possess Dojutsu.
Amidst the smoke, the four fell from the sky unharmed. After all, they were Elite Ninja, and this level of attack was no match for them.
"What do you mean?" Han flashed in front of Deidara and the other two, glaring coldly at Tōka who had descended from the sky, and shouted in a cold voice.
"It's nothing really, I just wanted to borrow some chakra from you." Tōka smiled faintly, his harmless appearance almost convincing everyone.
Chakra can be borrowed...
But saying such things to a Jinchūriki, doesn't that mean...?
The enemy's target is the Five-Tails Kokuō within Han's body?!
"Your target is actually the Five-Tails?" A hint of doubt flashed in Han's eyes. This escort mission specifically requested that Deidara's team be dispatched.
Deidara's abilities were a perfect fit; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to reach the Return to the Deep Valley in such a short time.
So, here's the question.
Han is Kitsuchi ninja who temporarily requested to Deidara's team. As the team Jonin, Iwagakure can send any of their Jonin.
Why is this boy so certain that Iwagakure will send out Jinchūriki?
"Yes and no," Tōka replied ambiguously, her expression growing impatient as she asked in a deepening voice, "Are you going to lend it to me or not?"
"If you want it, then show me how you can take it!" Han sneered, and a surge of violent and evil chakra within his body churned wildly like a tidal wave.
Glug glug...
Blood-red, bubble-like chakra gushed forth, forming a visible Tailed Beast Cloak on Han's body.
"Deidara, take Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi and go first!" Facing Tōka, Han could feel the fear of the Five-Tails Kokuō within him.
He wasn't confident of defeating his opponent; he only hoped to stall Tōka so that Deidara and the other two could buy time to escape!
Before Deidara could speak, Kurotsuchi jumped into the air, her hands rapidly forming Hand Seals.
"Lava Release - Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique!"
A stream of gray cement emerged from the Kurotsuchi, rapidly spreading due to the fluidity of the water, and solidifying in a short time.
The attack power of the Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique is not particularly fierce; its main strength lies in its extremely powerful control capabilities.
However...
The moment the lime water gushed from the Kurotsuchi, it was sealed by the Five Dragon Forbidden Domain's Jutsu Formula, instantly collapsing and dissipating into the most primal energy in the air.
"I forgot to tell you, you can't use Ninjutsu inside the Five Dragon Forbidden Domain!" Tōka raised an eyebrow, gesturing for everyone to look around.
The five giant dragons circling in the sky continued to roar.
As the dragon breathed, one could vaguely see wind and thunder clashing, and torrential rain freezing into ice in the blink of an eye, only to be incinerated by raging fire in an instant, eventually melting into the thick earth.
"Including Kekkei Genkai."
A chilling voice rang out, and a feeling of unease welled up inside me.
The crowd's expressions changed slightly, and they focused their gaze, only to see the young man's figure swaying in the distance, disappearing into the Void like a ghost.
Space-Time Ninjutsu?!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and the same thought popped into their heads.
When they first saw Tōka, they had their suspicions. Now that they saw Tōka use his speed-moving Secret Technique again, they were 100% certain!
This is Space-Time Ninjutsu!
"The three of you immediately form a swastika formation and keep your eyes fixed on what's in front of you." Han, still able to maintain his composure despite being cloaked in Tailed Beast Cloak, roared with a solemn expression.
Deidara's trio were immediately jolted awake by the loud shout and quickly moved closer together, forming a battle formation!
If Ninjutsu is unusable, then Taijutsu should be feasible.
Han clenched his fists, his palms sweating, his sharp, eagle-like eyes scanning back and forth, trying to find out where...
Where will it appear...?
Although there was not a trace of murderous intent emanating from him, he still instilled a strange fear in everyone.
Glug...
Someone nervously swallowed, the sound echoing loudly in the deathly Return to the Deep Valley.
Buzz!
The space trembled, and a faint amount of chakra overflowed.
In his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form, Han's perception increased exponentially, especially his ability to detect the aura of hostile enemies.
Han noticed Tōka's arrival the moment she broke through the air.
Boom!
A powerful punch was unleashed, enveloped in chakra, and the Five-Tails Kokuō's Boil Release enhanced it with a sizzling sound.
The heat evaporated the moisture in the air, and steam rose from Han's fist.
"Oh? Although you didn't deliberately conceal your presence, you're quite something to have found me so quickly." Tōka's eyes lit up, showing no anger at being discovered.
A hint of admiration flickered in his eyes.
As Jinchūriki, it would be embarrassing to admit you don't have some special skills.
The Five-Tails Kokuō, Chakra Nature, and its ability is Boil Release, derived from water and fire.
Steam, also known as water vapor, allows Han to sense nearby enemies and enhance attacks.
Compared to Ninjutsu, Han is more skilled in Taijutsu!
The approaching fist wind rushed towards him, and Tōka could already feel the powerful force of the Fist Force, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
"Boil Release: Unparalleled Chakra Enhanced Strength!"
Han raised his chakra to boiling point in one breath, causing his entire body's power to explode in an instant.
Swish!
A white shadow streaked through the air, instantly dispersing the thick fog in the Return to the Deep Valley. It was as if ice had encountered a raging fire, melting away in the blink of an eye.
"Got it!" Just as the fist was less than a foot away from Tōka's face, Han's eyes narrowed, and a burst of chakra erupted from his feet.
The power in his hand surged once more, and the force of his Fist Force caused the ground to tremble.
Tōka narrowed his eyes, a faint smile still playing on his lips. "Not bad strength, but too slow."
Boom!!
The punch landed, striking the cliff face of a majestic mountain.
Click...
Crackling sounds...
On the solid mountain wall, at the point where it met Han Quan's bones, a powerful and profound force erupted, and thick, dark cracks, each thicker than a waist, spread upwards along the mountain wall.
The spiderweb-like traces spread out layer by layer.
So fast...
In the blink of an eye, another deafening roar followed, and the towering peak, hundreds of meters high, collapsed, turning into shattered pieces of stone from bottom to top.
"How is this possible? Is it an afterimage?" Han was not shocked by the mountain peak that had been smashed to pieces by a single punch, but by Tōka's speed.
He was certain that at the moment he threw the punch...
No, at the moment the fist was a foot away from the boy's face, the boy's body was definitely standing right there.
In less than a breath, he actually dodged it?
"I told you you were too slow, but you didn't believe me." A leisurely voice rang in Han's ear, clinging to him like a haunting ghost.
Han was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat and, without thinking, threw a spinning punch.
Tōka tilted his head slightly, dodging the terrifying Fist Force. He then gathered a mysterious power in his hand and pressed his palm down on Han's lower abdomen with a deep voice.
One of the Tenseigan's abilities is to extract an enemy's chakra from their body, or to directly absorb another's Ninjutsu and retaliate against them.
It can be launched remotely, but it is even more difficult to defend against at close range, making it the most effective means of dealing with Taijutsu masters!
Tōka named it -- The Tensen no Jutsu.
Glug glug...
The bubble-like crimson Chakra Cloak was instantly blasted out of Han's body, but the evil and enormous Tailed Beast's chakra power did not dissipate immediately.
Tōka's hand seal changed, transforming from a palm into a claw, and his five fingers tightened.
A tremendous Repulsive Force erupted suddenly.
The crimson Tailed Beast Chakra was instantly blasted away into the distance, in that direction...
It was clearly the direction in which Deidara had dropped the Box of Paradise!
Glug glug...
To everyone's astonishment, the Box of Paradise, like a vicious dog that has caught a whiff of meat, suddenly opened its ugly maw at the door it faced.
Boil it all in one gulp!
Crunch, crunch...
A sound like chewing bones came from the air, sending chills down everyone's spines and making their hair stand on end.
Glug!
Swallow the chakra completely...
Quiet...
A deathly silence.
Deep within the misty Return to the Deep Valley, the crowd's vision was obscured by the thick fog, preventing them from seeing the movements of the Box of Paradise.
Ice Blue halo flickered in Tōka's eyes. He frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Why is there no reaction at all after absorbing such a massive amount of chakra?
Is it because I don't have enough chakra?
Tōka glanced at the man lying on the ground like a rag doll; it seemed the Five-Tails' chakra wouldn't be able to recover in the short term.
"The difference between the Five-Tails and the Nine-Tails is enormous; we can't rush this!"
Sudden!
Just as Tōka was about to give up, the four ugly and evil doors of the Box of Paradise simultaneously opened their blood-red maws.
The beam of light pierced through the Return to the Deep Valley and shot out in all directions...
