Lava Style: Flower-Fruit Mountain!
The Four-Tails, a red-backed ape, angrily hammered the ground with both hands. The wounded men clutched in his left hand were badly shaken in the process.
The next instant-
As the earth trembled, little "hills" rose from the ground.
These small mounds rose slowly, their shapes rounded. They hardly looked threatening, but Akaseki immediately sensed what was happening-
This was not the power to control earth forcing the ground upward. Instead, magma was being drawn up from underground, and the ground bulged because it could no longer contain it!
Akaseki immediately moved away from the rising "hills." He was not sure whether a first-stage Susanoo could withstand a "magma bath," but one thing was certain: even if it could hold out, actually soaking in magma would consume an enormous amount of power.
Sure enough, the next instant-
Boom!
The earth could no longer contain the force of the surging volcanic veins. Magma erupted, spraying almost as high as the Four-Tails himself-
Although Akaseki had started dodging immediately, there were far too many "hills," densely packed all around him. Retreating did not take him out of their range at once, and some of the spray still hit him.
Fortunately-
His fully developed first-stage Susanoo could completely block this little bit of splashing magma. It merely cost him some dojutsu power.
At the same time, however, the massive eruptions and obstructing "hills" had turned the surroundings into a landscape of magma. Unfortunately, his Susanoo still had only an upper body, with nothing beneath his feet-
Akaseki had to carefully concentrate chakra in his soles to insulate himself from the magma and walk over it.
"Magma like this can't hurt me!"
"If I were using a burrowing ninjutsu, things would probably be different-
"Unfortunately, I'm not that stupid."
