Chapter 205: The Near-perfect Three-tails Jinchuriki
BOOM——！！！
A terrifying whistling sound like a meteor crashing down tore through the faint mist in the night sky!
A massive fist made of pure lava, carrying extreme heat that incinerates everything and shock force that destroys all, smashed down ferociously from high in the sky toward the head of Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi!
Even though the fist was still dozens of meters away from Yagura’s head.
But the terrifying high temperature pressing down was already like an invisible furnace, instantly heating the air to the point of distortion!
Yagura’s deep blue hair curled, turned scorched yellow at a visible speed, even emitting faint “sizzle” sounds.
As if it would burst into flames the next moment.
The ground under his feet rapidly cracked and turned scorched. The surrounding pooled water instantly evaporated into white mist.
“In the sky… what is that?!”
One after another, Kirigakure Anbu Ninjas involuntarily raised their heads in shock.
The pupils under their masks reflected that increasingly large crimson giant fist!
“This is… wait! This is lava! It’s Lava Release!”
A more knowledgeable Kirigakure Anbu Ninja seemed to recall some intelligence and couldn’t help letting out a horrified cry, his voice distorted by shock: “It’s Konoha’s Lava Release Ferocious Beast Uchiha Ikeizumi!”
“Scatter! Scatter now!!”
The threat of death made the instinct for survival override all orders!
All Kirigakure Anbu Ninjas made the same choice at almost the same time—full retreat!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black shadows retreated frantically in all directions like startled birds!
They ignored their severely injured companions who had fallen to the ground and couldn’t move.
Of course…
In the eyes of most cold-blooded Kirigakure Anbu, these companions who had lost mobility were already useless trash.
In the law of the jungle of the Bloody Mist, trash had no right to survive.
Dying only saved air and resources for Hidden Mist Village.
Their deaths, if they could buy even 0.1 seconds of escape time for themselves, would be their final value.
“Water Release: Wild Water Wave!”
“Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!”
“Water Release…”
While retreating, the well-trained Kirigakure Anbu rapidly formed hand seals with their hands, almost instinctively casting their most trusted Water Release Ninjutsu, trying to intercept the descending lava giant fist!
But…
Sizzle！！！
When the cold water currents collided with the falling lava giant fist, it produced a piercing sound like red-hot iron plunged into ice water. Massive scalding white steam exploded instantly, like a huge steam bomb detonated!
However, this surging water flow capable of washing away armies couldn’t even slow the descent of the lava giant fist by a bit!
It couldn’t even extinguish the scalding lava flowing on its surface, emitting dark red glow!
The extreme heat instantly evaporated large amounts of the contacting water flow!
The Water Dragon Bullets disintegrated in an instant, water barriers shattered like fragile glass!
The massive scalding steam rising instead formed a deadly high-temperature isolation zone, white thick fog rapidly spreading.
The Mist Ninjas accustomed to Mist Concealment Technique actually felt fear toward this familiar mist.
Because every droplet here contained terrifying heat capable of instantly cooking flesh and blood!
They had no choice but to retreat frantically again.
The next second…
RUMBLE——！！！！！！
The lava giant fist finally smashed solidly onto the ground!
An indescribable massive roar erupted instantly, as if the entire ground was groaning in pain.
The nearer Kirigakure Anbu Ninjas felt their eardrums pierced by needles in agony, instantly going deaf.
The whole world was left with only buzzing tinnitus!
Following closely was the visible ring-shaped shockwave mixed with lava, rubble, steam, and terrifying chakra, spreading frantically in all directions like a tsunami!
Even the Kirigakure Anbu Ninjas who had run far away were still hurled flying like leaves in a gale.
Many spat sweet blood in mid-air, blood surging out through their masks, dyeing the insides scarlet.
Scorching airwaves licked their skin, instantly leaving large patches of burn blisters.
A fiery stinging pain swept through their bodies.
The invisible shock airwave was like a giant plow, scraping up and leveling the ground layer by layer, leaving terrifying ripple-like marks.
Further away.
The low dwellings at the village edge… in the face of this destructive shockwave, were easily torn apart and flattened like paper toys, turning into a wasteland of ruins shrouded in smoke and dust!
And at the center of the lava giant fist’s impact point…
A giant crater over hundreds of meters in diameter and bottomless suddenly appeared!
The crater’s edges showed a glassy sheen from being instantly melted by extreme heat and then solidified.
Dark red viscous lava like hellish blood vessels slowly writhed and flowed along the pit walls and bottom.
Emitting terrifying “gurgle gurgle” sounds, giving off intense pungent sulfur stench and billowing thick black smoke.
Here, it was as if a small volcanic eruption had just occurred!
……
Thud!
With a muffled sound, Momochi Zabuza’s back heavily crashed onto a boulder that luckily hadn’t been completely destroyed, the huge impact making him feel as if his organs had shifted.
“Pfft—”
A mouthful of scalding blood even pierced directly through his black face mask and sprayed out, hot blood instantly smearing the inside of the mask, making him feel suffocating discomfort.
He had to laboriously raise his trembling hand to roughly tear off the blood-soaked mask hindering his breathing.
Revealing that ferocious face capable of scaring ordinary children to stop crying.
“Cough cough… cough…”
He coughed violently, each cough pulling at the intense pain in his chest, blood constantly overflowing from his mouth.
“Bones… at least seven or eight cracked…”
He gritted his teeth, struggling to climb up from the ground with stubborn willpower, every muscle in his body protesting strongly.
When he raised his head and saw the scene before him clearly, those eyes always filled with killing intent now trembled slightly involuntarily.
“This…”
Everywhere Momochi Zabuza could see, there was no inch of intact land.
His gaze was filled with devastation!
The ground was like it had been ravaged by a giant beast, covered in scorched marks and large amounts of flowing lava.
Even for a ninja like Momochi Zabuza who crawled out of the Bloody Mist.
He felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
“If he had dodged even one second slower… probably not even scraps would remain, directly blasted into morsels of meat, even vaporized!”
Momochi Zabuza muttered through gritted teeth.
……
“Hiss—”
On the other side, Juzo Biwa sucked in a cold breath.
He looked down at the large clear blisters rapidly appearing one after another on his arm.
The needle-like sharp pain coming intermittently made him furrow his brows tightly.
The Executioner’s Blade was stuck into the ground beside him, the blade itself slightly hot.
“I already warned you to dodge earlier.”
Senior Izumi’s voice came from behind him.
Because of her richer experience and deeper understanding of Senior Ikeizumi’s power, she had grabbed Kijiro and run ahead of time. She ran earlier and faster than all Mist Ninjas.
Now she was completely unscathed, not even her clothes disheveled.
Looking at Juzo Biwa’s disheveled state, she calmly continued: “Senior Ikeizumi isn’t joking when he gets serious. Though he would definitely control his power to ensure we aren’t killed by the shockwave. But the aftermath is probably enough to make us suffer a bit and learn our lesson.”
Juzo Biwa’s mouth twitched involuntarily, pulling at the scar on his face and bringing a stab of pain: “I already dodged at my fastest speed… Who could’ve thought you little brat ran faster than a rabbit.”
Kijiro squatting on Senior Izumi’s shoulder lazily licked his paw, mercilessly exposing him: “Meow~ Clearly you thought there was no need to dodge too far, and ended up eating a faceful of shockwave, right? So embarrassing, former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.”
Juzo Biwa: “…”
Being precisely called out by a fat Ninja Cat, a flash of embarrassment crossed his face, but it was quickly masked by a cold, tense expression.
He decisively turned his gaze to the center of that scorched area, forcibly changing the topic, his tone turning grave.
“But, Fourth Mizukage… that man won’t be killed so easily.”
He said in a deep voice: “He’s a near-perfect Three-Tails Jinchuriki.”
