CHAPTER 139
Shisui and Uchiha Feiquan joined forces against Roshi.
Father and son fought with flawless coordination.
Feiquan continuously used Fire Release to pressure Roshi from the front, while Shisui relied on his Body Flicker Technique to create relentless threats from every blind spot around Roshi.
Their cooperation greatly increased the pressure on the Four Tails Jinchuriki.
Yet Roshi remained completely composed.
A trace of impatience mixed with excitement flashed across his face.
"Perfect."
"Now that you're both here, I'll save myself the trouble of killing you separately."
Before his words had fully fallen...
The lava surging around Roshi's body suddenly erupted even more violently.
The boiling magma wrapped around him like a living creature.
It was no longer merely lava armor.
An even more savage, ancient, and violent aura exploded from within his body.
Dark crimson chakra surged upward like blazing flames.
It condensed into a translucent chakra cloak surrounding him.
Scorching lava continuously dripped from the edges of the cloak.
At the same time...
A thick tail formed entirely from condensed dark crimson chakra, with molten lava flowing around its tip, suddenly extended from behind him.
A Tailed Beast Transformation.
Although Roshi had not completely synchronized with Son Gokū and could not achieve a Perfect Jinchuriki transformation, years of coexistence had allowed him to partially draw upon the Four Tails' power.
He had entered a partial Tailed Beast state.
Dark crimson markings resembling cracks in cooling lava spread across his skin.
The pressure and scorching heat pouring from his body resembled a volcano on the verge of erupting.
Even the surrounding air became visibly distorted.
Faced with this terrifying transformation, both Shisui and Feiquan's expressions changed.
Yet neither retreated.
The father and son exchanged a glance.
Instead...
They accelerated simultaneously.
Charging directly toward Roshi.
"Seeking death?"
"Then I'll grant your wish!"
Roshi's voice carried a bestial roar.
His enormous arm, wrapped in the Tailed Beast Chakra cloak, slammed heavily into the ground.
"Lava Release: Flower Fruit Mountain!"
Rumble!!
The earth shook violently.
Cracks split across the battlefield.
Countless scorching fissures spread in every direction with Roshi as their center.
Boiling lava glowing with a dark crimson radiance surged upward like an underground dragon awakening.
Molten magma burst violently from every crack.
In an instant...
The vast area before Outpost No. 8 transformed into a sea of lava filled with deadly heat.
The flowing magma churned like a living ocean.
The intense temperature warped the air beyond recognition.
Standing at the center of the lava field, Roshi was surrounded by both molten magma and his Tailed Beast Chakra cloak.
At that moment...
He resembled a demon king ruling over destruction itself.
"Now, Guy!!"
The instant Roshi completed Flower Fruit Mountain and the sea of lava spread across the battlefield...
Shisui roared.
But before his voice had even echoed across the battlefield...
Might Guy had already moved.
"Eight Gates!"
"Fourth Gate of Pain!"
"Open!!"
Deep green steam exploded from his body.
His speed instantly reached its absolute peak.
Like a bolt of green lightning, he shot directly toward the scorching sea of lava.
No one had time to react.
No...
He wasn't alone.
There were two more figures beside him.
Ebisu.
Shiranui Genma.
One tucked firmly beneath each of Guy's arms.
Using the terrifying explosive speed granted by the Fourth Gate, the three of them soared high into the sky.
The moment Roshi saw the three charging toward him...
The hatred buried within him since Iwami Jūzō's death completely erupted.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth.
Several even denser and more terrifying lava spheres shot into the air.
They flew directly toward the three figures.
At that moment...
Uchiha Feiquan and Shisui stepped forward simultaneously.
Ignoring the danger to himself, Feiquan poured every ounce of chakra into his strongest Fire Release, attempting to intercept the incoming attacks.
Meanwhile, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique repeatedly.
With both his body and ninja blade, he forcibly diverted the lava spheres that slipped past.
Molten lava splashed across both father and son.
Their flesh sizzled as it burned.
Charred wounds appeared across their bodies.
Yet neither backed away.
They endured everything...
Simply to buy Guy's trio a single decisive moment.
Using the momentum of his leap...
Guy carried Ebisu and Genma to the highest point above the lava sea.
The boiling magma beneath reflected their silhouettes in blazing crimson.
The scorching air threatened to ignite their clothes.
If they fell...
They would plunge directly into the center of the molten sea.
Death was certain.
But at that critical instant...
Guy suddenly hurled Ebisu and Genma even higher into the sky.
At the same time...
A dark brown high-grade sealing scroll appeared in his hand.
With a sharp snap...
The scroll unfurled in midair.
Its surface was covered with countless black sealing formulas.
Bathed in the crimson glow below, the inscriptions appeared black and red.
At the very center...
A massive character.
"Sea."
Written with chakra-infused ink.
It seemed almost alive.
Roshi's expression finally changed.
He had no idea what kind of sealing scroll this was.
But for the enemy to unleash it at this exact moment...
It could never be meaningless.
Unfortunately...
Flower Fruit Mountain had already transformed him into the center of a volcanic eruption.
He could not move freely for the moment.
The Scorching Stream Rock Technique he had just fired had also been desperately intercepted by Feiquan and Shisui.
For the first time...
He found himself unable to stop the three figures in the sky.
"Hmph!"
"No matter what tricks you have..."
"They're meaningless before my lava!"
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Roshi's expression became increasingly savage.
At that moment...
Guy slammed his palm onto the center of the sealing scroll.
Directly onto the character "Sea."
Slap!!
A crisp sound echoed throughout the battlefield.
The next instant...
Every sealing inscription erupted with dazzling azure light.
It was as though the deepest part of the ocean had suddenly burst open.
Boom!!
An incomparably violent torrent of seawater carrying the scent of the ocean exploded from the sealing scroll.
This wasn't a stream.
Nor a river.
It was a tsunami.
A colossal waterfall bursting into existence from thin air with overwhelming force.
It wasn't Water Release.
It was genuine seawater released through fuinjutsu.
An unimaginably vast quantity compressed inside a sealing scroll.
Roshi's face changed dramatically.
His Lava Release feared powerful Water Release more than anything else.
Moreover...
He was currently in his partial Tailed Beast transformation.
His body had become highly elementalized through lava chakra.
It resembled the Hōzuki Clan's Hydrification Technique.
Elementalization greatly enhanced offense and defense of its own nature...
But it also amplified damage received from opposing elements.
Under normal circumstances...
Lightning Release only dealt ordinary damage to the Hōzuki Clan.
But once they activated Hydrification...
Lightning Release became devastating.
The same principle applied to Roshi.
His lava transformation greatly enhanced both his Lava Release and defensive power.
At the same time...
Its weakness to Water Release increased dramatically.
Ordinary Water Release would simply evaporate before reaching him.
His lava chakra cloak possessed overwhelming heat.
But the torrent descending from above...
It resembled the Heavenly River itself crashing down.
Its sheer scale was beyond comparison with ordinary Water Release techniques.
Yet...
This was still not the end.
Ebisu and Genma, whom Guy had thrown even higher into the air, descended at that exact moment.
Instead of falling into the rushing seawater...
Both landed perfectly upon the crest of the enormous wave through precise chakra control.
Not a single word was exchanged.
No eye contact was necessary.
Both simultaneously raised the Hiramekarei replicas tightly gripped in their hands.
The twin blades erupted with unprecedented azure radiance.
"Ha!!"
The two shouted together.
They slammed the massive blades together with all their strength.
Clang!!
A strange metallic resonance echoed across the battlefield.
The instant the two swords collided...
The immense torrent released from Guy's sealing scroll seemed to receive both a summons and an enormous amplification.
The seawater surged even more violently.
Guided by the synchronized chakra of Ebisu and Genma and amplified by Hiramekarei's unique ability...
The colossal flood rapidly condensed in midair.
Roar!!
Three gigantic Water Dragons formed entirely from condensed seawater emerged from the crashing waves.
Azure scales.
Ferocious claws.
Majestic bodies.
Each Water Dragon radiated an overwhelming chill and terrifying pressure.
The moment they formed...
The recoil transmitted through the twin swords became overwhelming.
Ebisu and Genma's arms trembled violently.
The backlash nearly forced the swords from their hands.
The two exchanged a single glance.
Tightening their grips...
They swung both blades downward together.
Their sword tips pointed directly toward the center of the lava sea.
Toward Roshi himself.
Neither hesitated.
They completely released control.
The three enormous Water Dragons immediately broke free.
Roaring with overwhelming force...
They descended upon the dark crimson figure standing in the center of the lava sea.
The scene rivaled the destructive power of an S Rank Water Release technique.
Looking at the three colossal dragons...
Ebisu's face had become completely red.
Whether from excitement...
Or reflected lava light...
No one could tell.
His entire body trembled.
Then, as though possessed by some legendary Water Release master, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Forbidden Technique!"
"Super Triple Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!!"
The moment those words echoed across the battlefield...
Roshi's expression changed dramatically.
Everyone else stared at Ebisu in complete shock.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
This kid...
He actually knows a Forbidden Technique?!
