Sage Art: Prison Four Symbols Sealing Technique!

"A fearsome great demon? It's nothing special!" Tōka chuckled softly, probably trying to provoke the Enma.

Tōka knew that the Enma dared not act recklessly because this was the Tomb of the Six Paths, fearing that it would damage the tomb. The Enma was restrained, but Tōka would not!

A slender hand was raised, and several emerald green orbs of light swirled around the palm, eventually converging into a single point, illuminating the dim tomb chamber with a silver halo.

Thousand-Jin Stone Gate?

Compared to the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, they're all just paper!

Tōka's eyes narrowed, and with a slight wave of her small hand, the light in her palm shone even brighter!

With a deafening roar, a beam of silver light pierced through the heavy gate in an instant.

The Enma, who had crawled out of the rubble after breaking through the falling rocks, witnessed this scene, and his entire monkey face contorted in disgust.

With its ferocious fangs bared, the Enma roared and charged towards Tōka as if it had lost all its strategy.

"It's said that the Third Hokage and you only managed a draw, and it wasn't until both of you were almost out of breath that you stopped?" Tōka had never actually fought the Third Hokage, but he still acknowledged the old man's strength.

And what about this old monkey in front of us?

Tōka is currently fighting the Enma using Hanabi's body, and not only does he not feel any pressure, but he also feels that the Enma is somewhat unworthy of its reputation.

Watching a dark figure leaping high into the air and pouncing towards him, Tōka narrowed his eyes. Changing direction in mid-air wasn't so easy.

Generally, a leaping attack can be amplified by the speed of the sprint and the strength of the body.

In other words, such an attack method is only chosen when there is confidence that the opponent will be seriously injured or killed.

Because once you've used all your strength to unleash a powerful attack, you're bound to run out of steam.

In a duel between masters, the outcome often hinges on a single moment; a brief period of exhaustion can give the opponent a decisive opportunity to win.

Tōka stood calmly in place, seemingly not intending to dodge. Instead, he slightly lowered his body to steady himself, preparing to take the full force of the Enma's furious attack head-on!

The Enma watched with amusement. Although he appeared angry, he was actually extremely angry inside, but he was not blinded by rage.

Calmness, a calmness hidden beneath the rage.

Beneath the bloodshot, crimson eyes of the Enma lay a deep, still pool of tranquility.

With his five fingers clenched into a fist, the muscles on his powerful arm bulged out, and in the blink of an eye, the Enma's arm doubled in size!

A simple, unadorned punch landed, striking directly at that petite figure!

Such a powerful Fist Force, let alone a direct hit, even a glancing blow would cause broken bones and tendons; one can only imagine what it would be like to be struck head-on...

Boom!

The iron fist, the size of a sandbag, pierced through Tōka's figure and slammed heavily onto the ground, instantly shattering the solid Bluestone Floor.

Clear, dark cracks spread out in a spiderweb pattern in all directions.

The powerful force caused the earth to tremble violently. The mountain walls, unable to bear the weight, sent dust and gravel mixed in with the cracks in the stone walls crashing down, causing the entire tomb chamber to shake.

However, there was no joy on the Enma's face. A fierce glint One Flash its eyes, as if it had seen something terrifying.

His pupils constricted, and even his breathing sounded different!

The Enma's sharp, eagle-like eyes swept across the surroundings, searching for Tōka's figure.

Sudden!

"Are you looking for me?" The afterimage before the Enma's eyes vanished with the wind, and a weight settled on his shoulder. Then, an annoying voice rang in his ear!

I subconsciously looked up and followed the sound...

Just as expected!

That wretched brat was perched on his shoulder. Who's the monkey here, you or me? Being fast is one thing, but being more agile than me?

Enraged, the Enma slapped the target, sending a gust of wind howling past.

An attack of this magnitude would naturally be insufficient to strike Tōka, and the Enma had no intention of actually hitting Tōka; it was merely a means to drive him away.

Unfortunately, the Enma's slap, just like the previous heavy punch, passed right through Tōka's body.

"Unable to detect the entity? Or just an afterimage?" The Enma's heart skipped a beat. Once might be a coincidence, but twice meant that the opponent's speed was truly too fast for his eyes to keep up with.

"You guessed right!" Tōka's figure floated out from the Shadowy Corner not far away, smiling at the Enma.

"Since that's the case, here's a small reward for you!"

As Tōka finished speaking, streaks of ink-like Black Runes rose from beneath the Enma's feet, like demonic hands reaching out from hell, wrapping around the Enma's body.

A torrent of chakra erupted, Tōka's body became like a chakra fountain, seemingly possessing inexhaustible power.

The Enma stared in astonishment at the little girl before him, the anger long gone from its crimson eyes.

He was left with endless questions; he couldn't understand why such powerful strength would appear in a mere child.

Perhaps only the Sage of Six Paths back then could fight against such a powerful being!

The Enma stood silently in place, as if the air in the tomb had been frozen. In that still moment, he gazed at Tōka with a deep and serene expression.

The Black Runes spread rapidly along the Enma's body, first along its legs, then its waist and abdomen, and then from its neck to its arms.

Until...

Sealing Technique covered the Enma's face, obscuring his eyes...

Tōka Hand Seals, and Ice Blue flames flickered wildly in his pupils. He clenched his teeth tightly, and a fine layer of sweat covered his smooth, fair forehead.

"Sage Art: The Prison Four Symbols Sealing!"

The Four Symbols Sealing is used to seal powerful enemies or demons. It is a seal that uses the cycle of the four symbols to seal away evil.

The qualitative change occurs depending on the medium used as the sealing element.

Danzo created the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique using corpses as a medium, which can seal all objects within a few hundred meters into the corpse in an instant.

Tōka, on the other hand, uses the land of the Deforming Mountain as a medium; Hell is the realm, and he uses the realm of the earth to imprison the enemy— the Prison Four Symbols Sealing!

Buzz!

The earth roared incessantly, deafeningly loud, as the demons of hell stretched out their ghostly claws and dragged the Enma into that endless abyss!

The Enma is forever trapped beneath the earth of this Deforming Mountain!

Call out!!

The inky black patterns receded like a tide, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed.

If it weren't for the lingering aura of the Enma in the air, one might really think this was a dream.

Tōka wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bent over, and gasped for breath before recovering. "I was too hasty. I need to get back to my own body as soon as possible!"

With a whoosh, Tōka, having caught her breath, slipped into the Thousand-Jin Stone Gate that had been breached by a large hole.
