I Said It Was Over! (2/5)

"You’re the Konoha genin who killed Onoki’s son, granddaughter, and disciple?"

Roshi sized up the young man standing before him.

To be honest, when he had first heard the Stone Ninja talk about the changes in the village lately, he had found it impossible to believe that a mere genin could make the powerful, stubborn Onoki swallow such a bitter loss.

But now that he had seen him in person, he finally believed it.

Allen smiled and nodded. "That’s right! I killed them! More precisely, I killed Huang Tu while carrying out a mission. Onoki wanted revenge, so he ended up losing his granddaughter and disciple as well. And now, there’s you. I don’t care whether your relationship with him is good or bad, but you’re Iwagakure’s Jinchuriki. Taking the Four-Tails will definitely make Onoki feel miserable."

"Your desire for revenge is certainly strong. Killing all of Onoki’s relatives still wasn’t enough for you? You even want to weaken Iwagakure along with him?"

As Roshi spoke, he slowly advanced.

There was no need to ask. He had clearly been enraged.

"Enough? No, this isn’t a question of whether it’s enough. When dealing with enemies, I have a habit of pulling out the weeds by the roots. Since the hatred can’t be resolved, I naturally have to destroy it completely in the physical sense. Besides, what I’m doing now is only the beginning. Before long, Iwagakure will be permanently wiped off the map."

Allen bluntly revealed his hostility toward the Stone Ninja.

He had been thoroughly disgusted by the under-the-table political deal between the Third Tsuchikage and Naruto.

Once the Konoha Collapse Plan was over, he would head to Iwagakure and make Onoki understand the price of disgusting him.

"Brat! You’re far too arrogant! Go to hell!"

Roshi roared as he charged forward, intending to use the Lava Release Chakra wrapped around his body to burn his enemy to ashes.

Unfortunately, before he could get close, Allen raised his hands and abruptly transformed a massive amount of Chakra into an incredibly powerful Water Style technique.

The next second…

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

A colossal wave fifty meters high appeared out of nowhere and swallowed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki with overwhelming force.

The Lava Release Chakra around his body instantly lost its effect under the impact of the water. His entire body was shoved backward out of control and slammed hard into a massive, solid boulder. He barely managed to steady himself before covering his mouth and coughing violently.

"Oh? You don’t even need hand seals to cast Water Style of this level?" Orochimaru’s eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"Hand seals? What are those?" Allen asked with a faintly amused smile.

"I see! You can actually use ninjutsu without hand seals. What an enviable constitution."

Orochimaru immediately understood the implication and could not help revealing an interested expression.

Just as Roshi finished coughing up the water that had accidentally gone down his windpipe and prepared to draw upon more of the Tailed Beast’s power, countless arrows engraved with formulas suddenly appeared in Allen’s hands. He activated his Nen abilities and hurled them out in an instant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Since every arrow flew at more than three times the speed of sound, crossing the mere few dozen meters took only a tenth of a second.

Roshi had no time to react at all. He could only reinforce the Tailed Beast Cloak with all his strength and prepare to take the attack head-on.

But just as the arrows were about to collide with the Tailed Beast Cloak!

Allen suddenly used Teleportation to appear less than twenty centimeters away, dazzling blue Chakra blazing around his fist.

"Sorry, but it’s all over."

Bang!

Empowered by both Nen abilities and Chakra, Roshi was launched into the air.

Both the Tailed Beast Cloak and the ribs protecting his chest shattered in an instant. Even his heart ruptured.

If he had not had a Tailed Beast sealed inside him, he would have been beaten to death on the spot.

Even so, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with incomparable shock.

Monster Strength Fist!

Flying Thunder God Technique!

Roshi could never have imagined that he would live to see these two techniques, which had once shaken the ninja world, appear again—and on the same person.

Without the slightest hesitation!

Nor did he dare hesitate!

He immediately communicated with the Four-Tails. His body rapidly underwent Tailed Beast Transformation in midair, turning into an enormous red monkey.

In the blink of an eye, a blackish-purple Tailed Beast Bomb condensed and was fired straight out.

BOOM!!!!!!!

Amid the violent explosion, everything within two or three hundred meters was completely destroyed, leaving a massive semicircular crater in the ground.

"I said it was over!"

While Roshi was still searching for traces of his enemy, Allen had already appeared behind him out of thin air using the utterly unreasonable Flying Thunder God Technique. He raised his fist, wrapped in Chakra and Nen abilities, once more and began swinging it wildly at speeds beyond sound.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Without interruption!

Without pause!

The Four-Tails was violently pounded from the sky into the ground!

Even the earth could not withstand such terrifying continuous strikes, and cracks like those caused by an earthquake began spreading across it.

When the attack ended, Roshi, the Jinchuriki, had long since passed out. The Four-Tails seemed to have been beaten into submission as well and no longer dared release any of its Chakra.

Looking at his barely breathing opponent beneath his feet, Allen finally nodded in satisfaction. "As the most straightforward form of attack, my fists are pretty powerful. At the very least, beating up Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki shouldn’t be a problem. Next, I need to combine Nen abilities with ninjutsu to create more interesting abilities that can strengthen my body and arrows."

"So it really is the Flying Thunder God Technique! With Allen-kun having mastered this technique, there are probably only a few opponents in the entire ninja world worthy of fighting him. How frightening."

While praising him, Orochimaru swiftly formed hand seals and used some unknown Sealing Jutsu to slowly extract the Four-Tails’ Chakra from Roshi’s body.

"How long will the extraction and resealing take?" Allen asked with great interest.

"Several hours, probably. Kimimaro, keep watch around us. No matter who approaches, kill them without mercy."

Orochimaru directly gave the order to his most loyal subordinate.

Because while extracting and sealing a Tailed Beast, he could not move at all, much less interrupt the process to fight an enemy.

The same was true for Allen, who would become the new Jinchuriki.

"Understood! Please rest assured, I will not allow anyone to disturb you."

Kimimaro gave his assurance without hesitation.

His strength had long surpassed that of an ordinary jonin. If he had not been tormented by his bloodline illness for years, he could probably hold out for a while even against the leader of a village.

Otherwise, during the Konoha Collapse Plan, Orochimaru would not have made him one of the main forces in the ambush against the Fourth Kazekage.

Besides, the Stone Ninja who had come to persuade Roshi to return to the village had already been killed. Onoki would not be able to react for the time being.

And so, right under the nose of the Land of Earth, the two of them forcibly extracted the Four-Tails and sealed it into Allen’s body.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but throughout the entire process, the Four-Tails was strangely cooperative. It did not resist in the slightest, nor did it try to break free from the seal.
