Lava Release Elementalization

"Nawaki! It's wonderful that you're all right!" Seeing that Nawaki was safe and sound, Konan was the first to cry out in delight.

Yahiko and Nagato also smiled in relief. They had no experience commanding an army in battle; if something had happened to Nawaki, they truly would not have known how to proceed.

"Of course I'm fine. Have a little faith in me!" Nawaki looked up at Konan and the other two with a gratified smile. They were the ones who truly cared about him. "All right, you should leave the valley too. Don't interfere with the duel!"

The Third Raikage drew a deep breath and probed solemnly, "That just now seemed to be a Lava Release kekkei genkai. Could you be some monster transformed from a Tailed Beast? Not even a Jinchuriki should be capable of something like that, right?"

Nawaki nodded generously and explained, "It was indeed a Lava Release kekkei genkai. Just now, I used Lava Release chakra to turn my entire body into magma. Since I had no physical form, I could ignore physical attacks and most ninjutsu. I call it Elementalization."

Even now, Nawaki's reputation points only numbered in the tens of thousands. Compared with the hundreds of millions of people throughout the Shinobi World
