Chapter 15: Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Special “lava Release”!
Danzo’s pupils contracted sharply.
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s speed was too fast, and the scorching heat from the lava arm that was close at hand made Danzo’s eyes feel a stinging pain, and his facial skin felt a scorching sensation.
The strong smell of sulfur entered his nostrils, and the sense of alarm in his heart and the threat of death approaching grew even more intense.
If he were touched…
He would die!!!
Danzo no longer cared about his composure. His movement to dodge backward appeared quite clumsy, almost in a rolling manner, and he tumbled several times before avoiding the attack.
“Lord Danzo!!!” But the exclamation of a Root Ninja made Danzo realize that he might not have completely evaded it.
“Hiss—”
The pain from his left ear made Danzo gasp for air, and he felt he could smell the scent of roasted meat being scorched.
He quickly touched his left ear and found it was gone!
Hurriedly looking up, he saw Uchiha Ikeizumi had broken free from his encirclement and leaped high into the air with a push of his foot.
His right arm, flowing with lava, suddenly began to swell visibly.
It was as if a live volcano was accumulating terrifying power.
“Rookie, stay back.”
The Anbu Ninja responsible for monitoring the Jinchuriki, seeing this, no longer cared about anything else. He scooped up Naruto at the fastest speed of his life, attempting to move him away from this dangerous place.
Izumi’s pair of panicked eyes immediately turned crimson. Smelling the danger, she activated her Sharingan, which she had awakened at the age of five out of sadness after witnessing her father die at the hands of the Nine-Tails Demon Fox.
Moreover, this was also a Three-Tomoe Sharingan! In “Itachi’s Story/Original TV,” they are both Three-Tomoe.
The rotating tomoe rapidly consumed her chakra, instantly paling her small face, but it also unleashed unprecedented Dojutsu power.
However, she used this power for evasion.
Izumi believed that Senior Ikeizumi would not have told her to move away for no reason.
She chose to believe Senior Ikeizumi!
Below, the two Root Ninjas tacitly formed hand seals.
“Water Release: Water Turbulent Wave Technique!” x2
Two powerful streams of water surged towards Uchiha Ikeizumi above.
“Lava Release: Great Eruption.”
His right arm, which had expanded to be larger than his entire body, slammed downwards. The surging lava, transformed by chakra, erupted instantly, forming a colossal lava fist that was unthinkable in its size, like a volcanic eruption, plummeting directly below!
—Boom!!!
The fierce collision of Lava Release and Water Release stirred up waves of scalding steam, and incredibly acrid and poisonous gas spread wildly.
Although Uchiha Ikeizumi’s “Lava Release” was extremely similar to Iwagakure’s Rōshi’s “Lava Release,” both being lava-based,
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s “Lava Release” possessed a characteristic that Rōshi lacked—an impact force akin to a volcanic eruption!
Under the shocked gaze of the two Root Ninjas, the giant lava fist evaporated the Water Release and continued to crush downwards!
“Protect Lord Danzo!”
—Boom!!!
One Root Ninja pulled Danzo and quickly dodged, but the other Root Ninja was half a step too late. As the giant lava fist heavily impacted the ground, the splashing lava drenched half of his body.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!” The Root Ninja’s shrill scream drew everyone’s attention to him.
Half of his body appeared to have been erased from existence.
The parts of his body splashed by lava were on fire!
Furthermore, a massive crater appeared on the ground.
It was as if a pool of lava radiating a heatwave had formed on the street!
“This is… the Uchiha clan’s dual Bloodline Limit genius who rose to fame in the Third Shinobi World War, whose reputation is almost on par with Uchiha Shisui—the Lava Release Ferocious Beast, Uchiha Ikeizumi?”
The Anbu Ninja holding Naruto coughed from the smell of sulfur, his body covered in cold sweat.
Fortunately…
He had made the rational choice from the start not to engage in a physical conflict with the opponent.
Otherwise…
He dared not guarantee that he could escape unharmed.
“U!CHI!HA! IKE!IZU!MI!” Danzo’s old face was so grim it looked like it could drip black water.
He clutched the bandages on his face tightly with one hand.
Veins bulged on the back of his hand.
Danzo was not afraid of Uchiha Ikeizumi; he considered this inherently evil Uchiha brat to be nothing more than a mere novice who had only recently emerged.
Danzo was currently hesitating whether to reveal his Sharingan trump card in front of everyone.
Dammit…
If he had brought more Root guards with him today.
He wouldn’t have to hesitate.
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body landed on the lava, which was hot enough to vaporize flesh. He was not affected in the slightest by the lava’s high temperature. Lava liquid dripped continuously from his body, scorching shallow pits that emitted smoke on the ground.
…
“Hmm?”
Far away in the Hokage’s Office Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly sensed strange activity outside.
Just as he turned his head, he saw a Ninja Pigeon fly in.
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s gaze sharpened.
He clearly remembered that the summoned beast of the Anbu Ninja he had sent to observe and protect Naruto was a Ninja Pigeon!
“Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!”
The Ninja Pigeon spoke in a sharp voice, “It’s bad! Uchiha Ikeizumi and Danzo Shimura have started fighting! The Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto, has also been caught in the crossfire!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up abruptly.
“Danzo!” The solemn expression on his face turned grim, and he gnashed his teeth, “Didn’t I just tell him not to provoke that child, Ikeizumi!”
Based on his understanding of Danzo, this was most likely a dispute initiated by Danzo!
Danzo already harbored animosity towards the Uchiha Clan, and after encountering the active Uchiha Ikeizumi in the village…
Danzo might resort to extreme measures.
However.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled Uchiha Ikeizumi’s absolute sense of justice, his near-perfect case-solving rate, and his eyes that could see through almost everyone…
He hesitated again.
This…
Something is wrong!
Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed away the strange thoughts in his mind. The most crucial thing now was to immediately stop the conflict between the two parties.
Otherwise, the range of the ninjutsu from that child Ikeizumi’s “Lava Release” Bloodline Limit was no joke!
He clearly remembered that child’s terrifying performance during the Third Shinobi World War.
That “Lava Release” with volcanic eruption-like power…
Was definitely one of the most dangerous powers in the Ninja World!
“Take me there!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi first said to the Ninja Pigeon, then suddenly called out, “Kakashi!”
Swoosh!
A figure instantly appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sternly commanded, “Immediately lead three Anbu squads and accompany me to stop the conflict!”
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
Kakashi nodded.
…
On the other side.
*Splurt!!!* —As the flowing red lava arm easily pierced through the second Root Ninja’s chest.
A sharp whistling sound struck instantly, tearing the Root Ninja’s body in half.
However, before the blood could splash onto Uchiha Ikeizumi, it was already vaporized by the lava’s high temperature.
The “Wind Release: Wind Scythe Technique,” capable of cutting steel, continued its trajectory unabated, leaving a wound more than ten centimeters deep on Uchiha Ikeizumi’s chest.
But the wound was filled by the surging lava around it.
“What is going on with his ‘Lava Release’…”
Danzo’s expression was extremely grim. He somehow felt that Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Lava Release had a semblance to the Hozuki Clan’s Water Transformation Technique.
