Two small, hill-like rocks closed together, attempting to trap the flash of the blade.
However, this massive earthen mound was shattered by the interwoven net of lightning before it even got close to the sword formation.
Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique!
He tried to increase his speed, but the five knives also increased their speed, as if they could predict his movements.
" Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique!"
Dust Release bursts over a wider area, but the five swords always manage to get a step ahead, either interfering, avoiding the core area, or even using the shockwave from the Dust Release explosion to accelerate their attack in the opposite direction!
The more Ōnoki fought, the more frightened he became, and the more powerless he felt.
He felt like an insect caught in a spider's web, tightly bound by five blades of light filled with sorrow and resolute will.
His defenses were peeled away layer by layer, his Ninjutsu was broken time and time again, and his rhythm was completely disrupted.
He touched the blood on his back, still shaken.
He almost ruined his reputation by maintaining his output for just a few seconds too long!
If it weren't for his Light-Weight Rock Technique allowing him to fly so quickly, he would be wearing diapers from now on!
That cold Ninja Blade almost hit me!
The Thousand Years of Death, that wretched Thousand Years of Death! If it really hits him, he'll suffer worse than death!
"Impossible... What kind of power is this?"
Ōnoki was breathing rapidly, his Chakra was being severely depleted, and several bloody marks from the sword energy had appeared on his body.
His prized Dust Release proved ineffective against the five ghostly blades.
Back when facing Hatake Sakumo, Ōnoki could use Dust Release to restrain him.
But now, facing five incorporeal Hatake Sakumo, his Dust Release is ineffective!
Ōnoki had considered attacking the Sand Ninja hiding in the back, but the opponent always kept a distance of more than 100 meters from him and was wearing armor!
Finally, after barely managing to block the combined slashes of four swords with his rock armor, the fifth sword, which had been hovering high above, moved.
"Don't follow my example, Kakashi. I was a failed father."
This strike had no dazzling light, no astonishing force.
It simply transformed into a nearly transparent, minute lightning bolt, following an incomprehensible and elusive trajectory.
It penetrated through space, piercing the gaps in Ōnoki's layers of defensive rock armor, and gently touched his chest.
A sharp sensation, as if it could freeze and cleave one's soul, instantly swept over Ōnoki's entire body.
His Chakra suddenly stopped, and he was struck as if by lightning. He let out a muffled groan and staggered down from mid-air.
Ōnoki watched as a paper crane with flapping wings unfolded in front of him, revealing the runes on it, and was then affixed to Ōnoki chest.
At this moment, Ōnoki wished he hadn't been so knowledgeable!
He recognized this rune, which was infinitely more complex than the Explosive Tag!
The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, used a forbidden technique that locked onto the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags of space and soul!
Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!
Is today a day for nostalgia?
The falling Ōnoki had a vacant look in his eyes and had given up resisting.
So be it. To be able to fight five Hatake Sakumo and ultimately die from the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags is enough.
Destroy it...
The battlefield was deathly silent.
The Iwagakure Ninja stared in disbelief as their almost invincible Third Tsuchikage was struck down from the sky by five swords held by no one!
Ōnoki of Both Scales, plummeted from the sky!
"Shadow! Father!"
Various Earth Release Ninjutsu flew towards the Ninja Blade in the air, attempting to block the opponent's pursuit.
However, the five Ninja Blade crackling with lightning did not chase after the falling Ōnoki. Instead, they swung them into a ball of swords, protecting Sasori and Konan.
The flying rocks were all shattered by the lightning-infused blades.
Kitsuchi stepped forward and picked up his short father, whose face revealed a deep sense of despair.
"Father! What's wrong?"
Speak up!
"Keep being arrogant, Four-Tails! The name Son Gokū is not for you to use!"
Mukai squeezed the mechanical fist of the War God Mecha, watching the famous scene of Kisame Hoshigaki repairing the dam.
" Water Release · Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A colossal wave, like a celestial river overflowing its banks, crashed into the bottom of the rift valley with a deafening roar, instantly colliding with the sea of lava and fire created by the Four-Tails!
"Laugh-!"
White steam billowed into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud, and the piercing sound of vaporization echoed across the surrounding area.
Kisame's Water Release wasn't intended to extinguish the Tailed Beast's flames, but rather to neutralize the scorching environment.
Mukai's War God Mecha has amazing defensive capabilities, but he is ultimately a carbon-based life form and cannot withstand high temperatures.
He was waiting for Kisame Hoshigaki to help him cool down this lava hell before he made his move.
" Water Release: Water Prison Shark Dance!"
Under the cover of billowing steam, Kisame moved like a fish into water, merging into the waters he had created.
Here, the water flow is guided by his will, and the massive flow of water, like a living python, coils around the Four-Tails enormous bodies from all directions.
These water streams were unusually viscous and heavy, carrying a powerful binding force and Chakra interference properties, continuously cooling the magma surrounding the Four-Tails.
The Four-Tails beast suddenly stopped moving; although the high temperature on its body was still evaporating the water,
But with Kisame's almost inexhaustible Chakra, the water kept replenishing itself, layer upon layer, like the strongest shackles!
It struggled angrily, its lava carapace glowing brightly red, trying to break free with even more intense heat.
The Four-Tails went into a frenzy, tilting its head back as dark red Chakra surged wildly in its mouth.
A colossal lava Tailed Beast Bomb, over ten meters in diameter and containing destructive energy, rapidly took shape!
Its target is the very core of the waters where Kisame is! It intends to use absolute power to evaporate him and the water together!
How dare they Water Release to neutralize its lava lake? This is a provocation against the Tailed Beast! Unforgivable!
Kisame's expression hardened. He could feel the terrifying destructive power of the Tailed Beast Bomb. Just as he was about to use Water Release to withstand it, Mukai moved.
A streak of blue and white light swooped down at supersonic speed, leaving a long sonic boom trail behind it.
Just before it was about to collide with the Four-Tails head, the machine's structure emitted a teeth-grinding, precise deformation sound.
With its legs extended, arm armor adjusted, and vector nozzles fully open, the War God Mecha Mech forcibly transformed from fighter jet mode into humanoid guardian mode at near-zero distance!
Full power, repulsive force, mimicking Shinra Tensei!
The War God's steel body appeared "small" next to the fifty-meter-long Tailed Beast.
However, the oppressive force that brought about the repulsive force caused the Four-Tails beast to pause in its movements.
"Maximum power."
The mecha crossed its arms in front of its chest, and an invisible repulsive field that strongly distorted light suddenly spread out from its center!
The supersonic kinetic energy of the War God Mecha, combined with the repulsive force unleashed at maximum power!
It hit the Four-Tails ' head directly!
boom!
The Tailed Beast Bomb that was about to take shape in the mouth of the Four-Tails was struck by this sudden and enormous repulsive force, and its energy structure instantly became extremely unstable!
"BOOM--!!!"
The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded prematurely inside the Four-Tails ' own mouth!
Although most of the explosive force was blocked by the Four-Tails ' own powerful body and Chakra,
But that's like detonating a bomb in your own face!
The Four-Tails let out a bloodcurdling howl, a mixture of pain and rage, as its massive head was blasted backward.
However, the repulsive and impact forces of the Mukai were not completely neutralized, and it was directly pressed onto the solidified rock ground!
Boom!
The earth cracked, and the enormous Four-Tails creature looked like a monkey being pressed to the ground by the Buddha's palm!
