(Chapters 65 and 64 got switched! Damn it! My only stockpiled chapter!! Now I have to squeeze myself dry!
I'm so mad I could cry at my own stupidity (۶ꈨຶꎁꈨຶ )۶)
Smoke rose from the cliff. Heat fierce enough to melt stone steamed off Roshi as the massive chakra phantom of the Four-Tails roared around him.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen!! Let me see what you've got!"
Lava erupted around Roshi. Wherever it passed, the air warped from the heat.
"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique!"
Rumble—
More than a dozen blazing lava spheres hurtled toward the Konoha camp!
"That's... the Four-Tails' jinchuriki! Roshi of the Lava Release!!"
"His jutsu is terrifying! Don't let it hit you—scatter!!"
"Lord Hokage is here! He's just a jinchuriki!!"
The camp erupted into chaos as Konoha ninja poured from their tents.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned grave. The Four-Tails' jinchuriki alone was manageable, but he had already sensed Han not far behind him, and...
His hands flashed through seals. A thick wall of earth surged up, only to melt through and vaporize the instant the lava touched it.
Lava Release combined the chakra natures of fire and earth. Boosted by the Four-Tails' chakra, it was too much for a single earth wall to stop.
But...
If one wasn't enough, he would raise more.
Hiruzen held the seal. Earth walls rose one after another, stopping every lava sphere outside the Konoha camp.
Roshi was already preparing another attack. Hiruzen knew he couldn't let him bombard the camp at will.
He pushed off with his toes and shot forward, summoning Enma as he went. The staff smashed another incoming lava sphere apart, sending flames skyward.
As Hiruzen closed in and the black staff came down, Roshi slammed both fists into the ground. The lava covering him spread rapidly and hardened.
