Fierce Battle

Water Release: Water Dragon Whip

Shūri held a giant, spinning water sphere in her right hand, from which countless Water Whip shot out, which she controlled and fired Uzumaki Hane Shūri.

Uzumaki Hane extended his right hand, instantly creating a Magma Wall. Half of the Water Whip pierced the wall, creating numerous small holes, while the other half of the Water Whip veered off course, avoiding the Magma Wall and shooting towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane clasped his hands, unleashing a torrent of lava that enveloped him, forming a lava sphere. The Water Whip struck the lava sphere, hissing as countless streams of water evaporated, creating a thick cloud of smoke that enveloped the area where Uzumaki Hane was located.

Shūri, Fudō, and Kusuna formed a triangle, surrounding Uzumaki Hane. Shūri asked, "How is it?"

Kusuna quickly Hand Seals, and "Wind Release: Divine Wind" created several small tornadoes that dispersed the smoke, revealing the intact lava sphere.

The lava slowly slid to the ground, revealing the Uzumaki Hane inside. The Uzumaki Hane punched towards Shūri in front of it, and a Rock Fist rushed towards Shūri, directly shattering Shūri's water ball, causing countless water droplets to splash everywhere.

Fudō grabbed a huge rock from the ground, raised it above his head, shouted loudly, and leaped up, smashing it towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane snorted coldly, immediately turned around, and threw two punches at the rock with his right hand. The two Rock Fist shattered the incoming rock.

Fudō knew that this wouldn't hurt Uzumaki Hane at all. He landed on the ground, immediately grabbed another rock, and threw it at Uzumaki Hane. He continued throwing rocks like this, and even with his enhanced body, Fudō started panting heavily.

Five rocks hurtled towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane's expression turned slightly serious. He clenched his fists and punched the rocks five times, destroying three of them. Taking advantage of the moment, Uzumaki Hane flashed away from his spot. The remaining two rocks and the broken rock fragments crashed down, and with a loud bang, countless cracks appeared in the ground.

Looking at Uzumaki Hane had appeared ahead, Fudō knew that Uzumaki Hane's strength had probably increased significantly during this time, and he was still no match for him. He said to Kusuna, "It seems that the opponent's strength has increased recently. Let's cooperate."

Seeing the strength displayed by Uzumaki Hane, Kusuna knew he was probably no match for her and said, "Alright."

Fudō said, "You hold him off for a while, and I'll prepare a favorable battlefield." After saying that, he began to Hand Seals.

Kusuna's expression had become extremely grave. He called out, "Shūri!"

Shūri immediately replied, "I know, big brother." His hands quickly Hand Seals.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave"

Shūri unleashed a barrage of water blades from beneath her feet, slashing towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane extended her right hand, and a Magma Wall immediately appeared, blocking the water blades.

With Shūri shout, Xiuli created a water curtain in front of him. Kusuna Hand Seals a hand seal, and a tornado appeared, engulfing the water curtain and forming an Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane threw a punch with his right hand, a Rock Fist slamming into the waterspout. With a bang, the waterspout turned into countless water droplets, as if a heavy rain had fallen from the sky. The water droplets landed on Uzumaki Hane and were instantly evaporated by the lava.

At this moment, Fudō had finished forming the hand seals, bit his finger, and shouted, "Earth Release Moving Earth Core!" The earth directly cracked open, revealing several huge fissures, Uzumaki Hane's feet suddenly gave way, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

"The battlefield is ready," said Fudō, and jumped down with Shūri and Kusuna.

Underground, Uzumaki Hane and Fudō stood facing each other. Fudō pressed his hands to the ground, and two earthen walls rose up from the ground, separating the three of them from Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane smirked and said, "The same old trick again." He lashed out with his right hand, a Rock Fist slamming into the earthen wall. With a bang, the ground trembled, and several cracks appeared in the wall, melting directly in the center of the cracks. The three on the other side were startled. Fudō quickly Hand Seals, and the wall on the right split open. Fudō carried the two away, and then the wall closed up again.

Uzumaki Hane was satisfied with her attack and unleashed several Rock Fist, destroying the earthen wall. Uzumaki Hane walked over, but the three had already disappeared.

Uzumaki Hane looked around at the walls and noticed that the wall on the left was different; it seemed to have just been glued together. Without saying a word, Uzumaki Hane punched through the air with his right hand, and with a loud bang, cracks appeared in the wall.

Suddenly, the wall behind Uzumaki Hane cracked open, revealing the three Fudō figures. Their hands had already formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Encampment Wall

"Wind Release: Divine Wind"

Kusuna and Shūri simultaneously unleashed their Ninjutsu, combining it into a water tornado that swept towards Uzumaki Hane Yu.

Uzumaki Hane smirked and unleashed two punches with his right hand, instantly shattering the waterspout.

Fudō knew this wouldn't work on Uzumaki Hane, and had already begun using Ninjutsu.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique"

The rocks on either side of the Uzumaki Hane suddenly split open, revealing two huge, round boulders that, with a loud rumble, trapped the Uzumaki Hane inside.

Uzumaki Hane said, "You think you can escape?" He unleashed Six Paths Rock Fist in quick succession, destroying the earthen wall, and walked over. The three had already disappeared.

Fudō that Uzumaki Hane was still struggling inside the boulder, shouted, "Continue! He's not dead yet!" Standing on the ground, he rapidly Hand Seals.

Kusuna and Shūri exchanged a glance and began Hand Seals as well.

"Earth Release: Mud Golem"

Water Release: Water Encampment Wall

"Wind Release: Divine Wind"

A massive mudslide surged forward, engulfing Uzumaki Hane. The three quickly followed the rock wall, leaving the crevice. Fudō satisfied, looked down at the crevice, which was now filled with mud and rocks, and formed another hand seal.

"Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Spear"

In the mud and rocks, countless sharp clay guns broke through the mud and water, shooting into the sky, densely packed.

Shūri said, "Is he dead now?"

Kusuna said, "She should be dead already. Now we'll go kill the priestess, and that will complete our mission."

Fudō, he instinctively felt that Uzumaki Hane was probably still alive, and stared intently at the mud and rocks below.

Suddenly, the mud and rocks began to churn, and a fiery lava dragon shot into the sky, with countless mud and rocks mixed with lava crystals falling like raindrops.

Standing atop the lava dragon's head, Uzumaki Hane looked down and said coldly, "I've found you." His eyes blazed with killing intent, and he unleashed "Great Eruption," his right hand and fist striking forward. A gigantic Rock Fist surged towards the three Fudō figures.

Fudō, Fudo was now twice as powerful as the previous Rock Fist, which must be even more terrifying. Fudo Fudō, "Earth Release Earth Style Wall!" A huge rock burst forth from the ground, blocking the three of them. With a crack, the rock was torn apart as if it were just a piece of paper, unable to stop the Rock Fist.

The Rock Fist, its momentum undiminished, slammed down on the three of them. With a deafening roar, the ground exploded, scattering countless fragments of rock and lava, leaving behind a huge lava crater.
