Born with a great love for the Uchiha

With a flick of his finger, Uchiha Gen sent a jet-black fireball hurtling towards the lava sphere.

Just a second before the black flames collided with the lava, a confident smile appeared on Lao Zi's lips.

"it's useless!"

Old Zi said with absolute certainty.

"The temperature of my [Molten Essence] surpasses that of flames—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Zi's voice abruptly stopped.

At the instant that [Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique] and [Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique] collided, in the clash of magma and black flames, the former, instead of shattering the flames as it had done in the past, began to melt itself—

No, it's not "melting"!

Compared to the surface temperature of the sun, the magma created by the [Lava Release] is utterly insignificant in the face of the Bloodline Limit [Flame Release].

The pitch-black fireball relentlessly engulfed the lava sphere. The dark red magma, enveloped by the black flames, began to turn white, brighten, then vaporize and disappear.

This situation is like throwing a cold block of ice into a scorching furnace.

This time, however, the lava is playing the role of ice.

"How is this possible?!"

Lao Zi's pupils suddenly contracted.

In his past battles, no fire-style technique could directly counter [Molten Release].

Flames will be instantly shattered upon contact with lava.

But the scene before us completely reverses the laws of nature.

The flames destroyed the lava!

[Sage Art: Flame Release: Great Fireball Technique] After burning through the lava sphere blocking its path, it continued to "ignite" other lava spheres, as well as the rocks, the ground, and even the waterfall below!

Before the [Flame Release], all beings are equal, and nothing is immune to its burning power.

In an instant.

The area around Rock Hidden Waterfall was engulfed in a black sea of ​​fire.

Old Purple desperately maintained the [Lava Release Chakra Mode], but the scorching magma on his body did not give him any sense of security whatsoever.

Beneath the magma, his sweat poured out continuously, only to evaporate quickly.

'It can even melt magma... what exactly is this black flame...?'

Just then, a muffled sonic boom came from afar.

A white column of steam shot into the sky from the other end of Iwagakure, rapidly approaching this side, and crashed down with a speed even faster than a storm.

The ground exploded under the impact of steam, sending debris flying and filling the air with smoke and dust.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, makes his appearance!

"Old Zi—"

"careful!"

Chapter 173 The Four-Tails and the Five-Tails! Double Bloodline Limits!

Han had just appeared and was about to ask Lao Zi about the situation.

Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly shouted, interrupting the Five-Tails Jinchuriki who was shrouded in steam.

The unique nature of [Fire Release] means that any chakra, or even chakra-based creations, is its best fuel.

Han arrived from afar to support Lao Zi via a steam burst.

However, the pale white steam surrounding his body became the best "fuel" for [Flame Release].

Those pitch-black flames could melt even magma, let alone steam.

Old Purple watched as the black flames, like a predatory mortise, were about to ignite the Five-Tails Jinchuriki along with the white steam.

He rapidly formed hand seals, and the [Lava Release] chakra erupted from his body, taking shape around him and Han, quickly solidifying into an incredibly thick protective barrier.

[Molten Granite]!

This granite wall, several meters in diameter and formed from the shape of [Lava Release] chakra, directly severed the connection between Han and his steam.

But that's far from enough!

Old Zi knew the power of that strange, pitch-black flame, and knew that this lava barrier could not withstand it for long.

Therefore, the moment after releasing [Molten Granite].

Old Purple formed hand seals again, releasing Earth Release ninjutsu, and pulled the bewildered Han underground, attempting to avoid the still-burning black sea of ​​fire outside by moving underground.

"Did you think you could escape by hiding underground?"

Gen Uchiha stomped on the ground, and the Sage Chakra within his body transformed into the [Magnetic Release] nature and merged into the planet's magnetic field.

Using the powerful sensory properties of Magnet Release chakra, Gen Uchiha instantly locked onto the two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure who were moving rapidly underground.

Just as the opponent escaped the encirclement of the [Flame Release] sea of ​​fire through underground means.

Gen Uchiha immediately manipulated the Magnet Release chakra, firmly binding the soil and rocks deep within the Iwagakure village together.

Meanwhile, Rōshi and Han, who were moving rapidly underground using Earth Release ninjutsu, also sensed the changes in their surroundings.

The ancient-style red armor worn by Han creaked and groaned under the increasingly compacted earth and rocks around him.

"That Konoha's Light is also proficient in Earth Release ninjutsu?"

"His power is too great, my Earth Release ninjutsu won't last much longer..."

Old Purple released Han, having just shared with him the intelligence he had gathered through combat regarding the Fifth Hokage.

"Let's go up first and talk about it later!"

"No problem! Watch me!"

Han readily agreed. He refined the [Boiling Release] chakra within his body, gathered it in his right hand, and then swung his fist heavily towards the soil above his head.

[Boiling Release: Unparalleled Strength]!

Rumbling--

With a deafening roar, a small open area at the edge of the waterfall was blasted open, creating a crater more than ten meters in diameter.

The soil and rocks that had just seemed very solid suddenly became so fragile under the monstrous power of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki that they seemed to turn back into soil, with mud splattering everywhere.

However, this also shows that Gen Uchiha was not taking it seriously at all.

If he had used the same strength he used against Black Zetsu, how could the two Jinchuriki have escaped so easily?

Amidst the flying debris and mud, Lao Zi and Han leaped up from the depths of the earth and reappeared in the sunlight, just in time to avoid the encirclement of the [Flame Release] sea of ​​fire.

Rao is so.

The astonishing heat emanating from the sea of ​​fire of the [Flame Release] technique inevitably impacted the two Jinchūriki.

"Is this the kind of flame that can even melt magma? It's truly terrifying..."

Han glanced at the black sea of ​​fire not far away, his expression extremely solemn.

"I have never heard of anyone whose fire-style ninjutsu is so powerful!"

"Konoha has finally produced a true 'Hokage'!"

Well known.

The First Hokage was skilled in Wood Release.

The Second Hokage was skilled in "forbidden techniques".

The Third Hokage was involved in all sorts of vices, including gambling, prostitution, and drugs.

The Fourth Hokage was skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

There isn't a single Hokage who is proficient in Fire Release ninjutsu!

This is completely different from the situation in other villages...

"Han, be careful..."

The voice of the Five-Tails, Kokuo, resounded in the Jinchūriki's heart.

"The power of this black flame is far more terrifying than a monkey's lava. Don't die..."

The two jinchūriki of Iwagakure, Rōshi and Han.

Although not as perfect as Killer Bee of Kumogakure, who achieved reconciliation with the Tailed Beasts.

However, having served as Jinchūriki for many years, they had long since mastered the methods of communicating with the Tailed Beasts within them.

'I know……'

Han withdrew his gaze from the black sea of ​​fire and fixed it firmly on the young figure opposite him, who was wearing a white divine robe.

'King Mu, if you don't want to die either, hand over your power to me later! That guy over there is a monster!'

At the same time.

Old Purple was also communicating with the Four-Tails Son Goku inside his body.

'Four-Tails! Remember to lend me your power!'

The two Jinchūriki finished giving instructions to the tailed beasts inside them and stood side by side.

Old Purple unleashed his Lava Release Chakra Mode once more, and magma enveloped his entire body once more.

Thick white steam billowed from the exhaust vents of Han's full-body armor, providing him with powerful energy.

"Go together!"

Han was faster and was the first to launch the attack.

Steam Rush!
