The Six-Tails Jinchuriki! Yagura?!

Lion's Roar worked by vibrating the air with a special vocalization, creating a powerful impact.

The more chakra poured into charging up the sound, the more violently the surrounding air vibrated.

And the more powerful the Lion's Roar Technique became.

It was true that Samehada could absorb chakra.

But the essence of the Lion's Roar Technique was a physical impact created by vibrating air!

Its principle was similar to Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, Konoha Dragon God, and other such techniques.

The Blood Lion contained chakra, but not much.

So...

Suikazan Fuguki was in for a world of hurt.

"ROAR!!!!!"

With one final earth-shaking roar, the Blood Lion slammed into Suikazan Fuguki.

Suikazan Fuguki's face still held that savage, confident look of imminent victory.

The next second, the Blood Lion mercilessly swallowed him whole!

His entire body vanished into the Blood Lion's mouth without so much as a grunt.

"Lord Suikazan's might is unrivaled—"

The Kirigakure ninja behind him had barely begun their flattery.

Then they discovered, dumbfounded, that their beloved Lord Suikazan Fuguki hadn't held the Blood Lion back for even a second!

Without losing momentum, the Blood Lion charged straight at them, crashing into the crowd of Kirigakure ninja.

"AAAH!!"

Screams erupted everywhere.

Some Kirigakure ninja who couldn't dodge in time were swallowed by the Blood Lion on the spot, joining Suikazan Fuguki.

BOOM!!!!

The Blood Lion finally slammed into the ground, triggering a massive explosion.

The ground shattered, sending huge chunks of rock flying!

Still, plenty of quick-thinking ninja had dodged beforehand, so the casualties weren't as heavy as expected.

But the destruction was staggering!

Just after the Blood Lion exploded, Guy stepped on the flying rocks and leaped high, clearing the center of the blast.

Whoosh!

Something came hurtling through the air.

A somewhat damaged, vicious-looking greatsword
