Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's track record, he might very well seal the Five-Tails -Five-Tails inside Konoha Ninja, turning it into a major fighting force for Konoha.
This is something Ōnoki could never accept.
That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me.
Ziyun said calmly, "Why should I help Ōnoki get the Five-Tails back? I'm not Ōnoki's relative."
"I'll ask you one more time: are you retreating or not? If you're not, I'll continue killing Iwagakure Ninja."
Ziyun looked at Ōnoki, whose eyes were bloodshot, and asked, his body faintly glowing with lightning.
If Ōnoki refuses, Ziyun wouldn't mind starting another killing spree. Even if he doesn't have much stamina left, he can leave when he's almost exhausted, and no one in Iwagakure can stop him.
Once he recovers his strength, Ziyun will come again, and several more times. He doesn't believe that Iwagakure can withstand it.
"Impossible! Yeyue Ziyun, you're going too far!"
Ōnoki was so frustrated that he cursed Ziyun.
If he agreed to Yeyue Ziyun's request, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki would definitely not survive; if he did not agree to the request, the Iwagakure Ninja would not survive either.
Choosing left is a dead end, choosing right is also a dead end, it's too difficult.
As the mighty Third Tsuchikage, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Looks like you're not going to agree, 60 Million Volt Lightning Beast!"
Ziyun didn't care what secrets Ōnoki might have. If he didn't agree to her demands, then he could just die. Who told him to be so weak?
However, Ōnoki's pained expression made Ziyun reflect a little. In the Hokage World, this is what it means to be without strength. If he doesn't reach the Six Paths Level, he will eventually end up like Iwagakure.
Therefore, victory in the Second Shinobi World War is imperative.
A torrent of lightning erupted from its body, transforming into the form of Lightning Beast that charged into the Iwagakure troops and began to tear them apart.
In an instant, more than a dozen Iwagakure Ninja lost their lives to the Lightning Beast, including two Jonin.
"You despicable Yeyue Ziyun, you've gone too far! I swear I won't rest until I kill you!"
Just then, a powerful Chakra suddenly appeared in the Iwagakure Iwagakure, followed by a huge figure appearing among them.
Without a doubt, it was Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki.
Although he and Ōnoki often argued and even fought due to their differing political views, Roshi still felt a sense of belonging to Iwagakure.
Seeing the Iwagakure Ninja dying in droves, Roshi couldn't hold back any longer and released the Tailed Beast.
However, he is not Perfect Jinchuriki yet; he can only maintain his consciousness while in Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
If all the Tailed Beast Transformation, Roshi would not be able to maintain a clear mind; his consciousness would be overwritten by the Tailed Beast.
Tailed Beast are very dangerous strategic weapons and are generally not released unless absolutely necessary. This is because Tailed Beast hate humans and do not distinguish between friend and foe. If all the Tailed Beast were released, the Iwagakure Ninja would be in great danger.
Even in his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form, Roshi already possessed the strength of Kage Level shinobi.
" Lava Release Chakra Mode!"
After releasing the Tailed Beast, Roshi immediately entered Lava Release Chakra Mode.
Lava Release Chakra is Roshi's own Ninjutsu, similar to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of Kumogakure.
Wrapped entirely in scorching lava, the Lava Release Armor melts anything it touches, while also enhancing its defensive capabilities. It possesses both offensive and defensive properties.
When Roshi entered Lava Release Chakra Mode in his half- Tailed Beast form, he looked somewhat like a giant lava beast, which was quite intimidating to ordinary people, but it posed no threat to Ziyun at all.
"Die!"
Then Roshi, filled with rage, charged towards Ziyun.
Bang bang bang bang!
Letting Roshi's lava fist pound on his body, Ziyun didn't even bother to move. Wasn't it better to conserve his energy?
It seems Roshi's battle IQ isn't very high; after fighting for so long, he still hasn't realized that ordinary Ninjutsu is completely ineffective against him.
No wonder he was killed in a one-on-one fight by Kisame Hoshigaki in the original work; with that kind of combat intelligence, his death was entirely deserved.
"Stop hitting him, Roshi. Ordinary Ninjutsu and Taijutsu can't hurt Yeyue Ziyun at all. Can't you see that?"
At this moment, Ōnoki flew into the air, came up to Roshi, and cursed loudly, almost swearing.
Not only did Roshi's attacks fail to hit Yeyue Ziyun, but many Iwagakure Ninja were also affected. Ōnoki's lack of profanity shows he still has some sense.
If it weren't for the current special circumstances, Ōnoki and Roshi would have argued, or even fought.
"Alright, I got it, Ōnoki, get out of my way."
After hearing Ōnoki's angry outburst, Roshi's tone was also somewhat displeased, but the situation was critical, and he didn't want to argue with Ōnoki.
After all, the morale of Iwagakure was already very low, and if they started arguing again, Iwagakure would collapse.
"Hmph, what a bastard." Ōnoki snorted coldly.
By shouting his name in front of so many Iwagakure and telling him to move aside, it's clear that Roshi showed no respect for Ōnoki, which made Ōnoki somewhat displeased.
But he also understood that now was not the time to argue; he should stop Yeyue Ziyun first.
"Heh, Four-Tails- Tailed Beast, even in a half -Tailed Beast state, is still worth playing with."
Ziyun sneered. He didn't have much stamina left, but he could still try to see Combine-Combine Fruit could easily defeat the Tailed Beast.
There's really no suspense. The Combine-Combine Fruit Susanoo in its fourth form, let alone a Four-Tails in its half- Tailed Beast form.
Ziyun wanted to use the Combine-Combine Fruit because his proficiency with Combine-Combine Fruit would skyrocket in actual combat.
After the great battle with the Uchiha Clan Head and Sunagakure, my mastery of the Combine-Combine Fruit has now reached 90%. This time, when I crush the Tailed Beast, my mastery might even increase dramatically.
So Ziyun activated the Combine-Combine Fruit ability, and all the 5,000 Iwagakure ninja tools and various inorganic objects flew towards Ziyun, transforming into metallic objects that attached themselves to Ziyun's body.
Ziyun's body suddenly swelled to a height of over one hundred meters.
"Run! Retreat!"
Seeing this, Ōnoki quickly ordered the Stone Ninja force to retreat. Ziyun's size was comparable to that of Tailed Beast, and even larger than the Four-Tails in its Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.
The well-informed Ōnoki was certainly aware of the strategic role such a behemoth could play in the war.
Furthermore, according to Ōnoki's speculation, this Ninjutsu is not like the Tailed Beast Transformation. If the Tailed Beast Transformation is not performed by Perfect Jinchuriki, the Tailed Beast will attack indiscriminately.
Judging from Ziyun's appearance, he was very clear-headed and could control his enormous body at will.
If we don't run fast, at least half of the Iwagakure will perish here.
Snap!
Ziyun didn't have much time to deal with Iwagakure anymore; he was short on stamina and wanted to beat up the Four-Tails first.
He raised his giant fist, which was covered in Armament Haki, and slapped it at Roshi, almost knocking Roshi off his feet.
The Tailed Beast Cloak Chakra was also noticeably weaker; it was clear that this slap had nearly killed Roshi was in his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
The main problem was that Roshi was too confident. No one had ever been able to defeat him in his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form, so he confidently tried to take Ziyun's giant fist head-on. Who would have thought that this slap would take half of his life?
"You%￥...%...!"
Seeing this, Ōnoki couldn't help but curse Roshi. In fact, given Roshi's speed, even if he couldn't dodge that slap, it shouldn't have hit him completely.
He realized that Roshi was just trying to tough it out, but ended up getting beaten half to death.
If we leave him alone, he might die here.
Iwagakure cannot afford the loss of a Four-Tails Jinchūriki, not to mention that Roshi possesses Quasi-Kage Level strength, excluding the Tailed Beast.
Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique!
In a moment of desperation, Ōnoki immediately broke away from the main force of Stone Ninja, flew to Ziyun's feet, and delivered a heavy punch to Ziyun.
"Um?"
It must be said that Ōnoki's punch was quite powerful, and Ziyun's movements were somewhat hindered.
Ōnoki, in his old age form, used this Ninjutsu to withstand Madara Uchiha's Tengai Shinsei. He is currently at his peak, so this punch still had considerable power.
"It didn't budge an inch."
At this moment, Ōnoki was also stunned.
Ōnoki was also very confident, as his punch possessed the power to send even Tailed Beast flying dozens of meters, yet Ziyun remained completely unmoved.
His power is even more terrifying than that of the Tailed Beast.
Slap! Slap! Two more slaps landed on Roshi, who could barely stand up.
Ziyun was too lazy to bother with Ōnoki. Ōnoki wasn't seriously injured, and Ziyun himself didn't have much stamina. It was pointless to waste time with him. He should deal with the half-dead Four-Tails Jinchūriki first.
After two slaps, Roshi's Four-Tails coat was gone, and he was on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.
Seeing Ziyun immediately canceled the Combine-Combine Fruit ability, transformed into lightning, and came to Roshi's side. He grabbed Roshi's sleeve and spared Roshi's life.
This was a sudden idea from Ziyun. Killing Roshi was pointless, and he didn't have much stamina. If he released the Four-Tails, Four-Tails would definitely run away.
Why not capture Roshi and take him back to see how much Iwagakure is willing to pay for it?
"Damn Yeyue Ziyun!"
Seeing this, Ōnoki didn't dare to go forward, as he knew Ziyun's strength.
Going up there now would be no way to save Roshi; I might even get myself killed.
"Goodbye, Ōnoki. You're lucky I'll spare your life today."
Ziyun laughed at Ōnoki's exasperated look, then left.
With the Four-Tails Jinchūriki at their disposal, Iwagakure will have to pay a price.
Perhaps we can get Ōnoki to hand over the Dust Release Ninjutsu, so that Kumogakure can cultivate another Kage Level ninja, Ziyun himself can learn it.
It has to be said that Dust Release Ninjutsu is quite powerful; even Madara Uchiha's Susanoo was neutralized by Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique.
