Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

"So you're the Five-Tails Jinchuriki? You don't look like much." Uchiha Iori sneered, trying to provoke him.

"Onoki is getting old. It seems there really aren't many people left in Iwagakure. Hahaha."

Han's eyes were as cold and stern as rocks. Unlike the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, he remained loyal to Iwagakure and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Faced with Iori's provocation, he remained unmoved, simply gazing calmly at her. "Don't try to provoke me; I will suppress this battle with my rock-like body and unwavering will."

As he spoke, steam rose from Han's body, "Boiling Release: Unparalleled Strength".

He charged toward Iori like a high-speed train, steam billowing from its back.

Iori dodged in an instant, a cold smile playing on his lips. "This speed is nothing special. It seems the Five-Tails isn't all that impressive after all."

He retreated while making sarcastic remarks, trying to lead Han away from the camp.

Han may have understood this as well, but he also trusted his companions who stayed behind.

They also understood how dangerous it would be for a strongman to operate in their own territory.

He decided to kill Uchiha Iori before returning to provide support.

As a Jinchūriki who can skillfully control part of the power of the Tailed Beasts and can fully transform into the Tailed Beast when necessary.

He had few rivals in the ninja world.

"Now, go die!"

Han began to borrow the Five-Tails' chakra, and a tail emerged from behind him.

Chapter 21 Battle Against the Five-Tails Jinchuriki

Moonlight spilled onto the battlefield, its silvery glow reflecting the two figures facing each other.

A tail protruded from the back of a man wearing a red conical hat and red armor.

A violent surge of chakra emanated from him, radiating an ominous aura.

"Is this the legendary Tailed Beast chakra?" Uchiha Iori exclaimed. "What terrifying power!"

Although Konoha possesses the Nine-Tails, it benefits from the Uzumaki clan's powerful sealing techniques and the village's secrecy measures.

Even if you encounter Kushina Uzumaki on the road, you would never notice that she is any different from an ordinary person.

The Uchiha clan, to which Iori belongs, is a key target of the village's vigilance, and they are absolutely not allowed to approach the Jinchūriki.

"Looks like they're going to go all out today." Uchiha Iori shook his head slightly, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

Fighting monsters is also a man's romance.

He felt his blood boiling, and his body trembled with excitement.

This battle was different from the sparring with Jiraiya; both of them were fighting with the intention of killing each other.

Quickly regaining his composure, Uchiha Iori focused all his attention on his Sharingan.

On the opposite side, steam billowed up from behind Han, propelling him forward at high speed.

He was like a steam train; every time Han stepped on the ground, he created a deep crater.

"Boiling Release: Unparalleled Strength"

Han leaped high and kicked Iori in the head.

The instant Han moved, Iori began preparing to dodge.

It must be said that the Sharingan's advantage in dynamic vision is overwhelming.

Without the Sharingan, Iori wouldn't be able to fight so effortlessly.

The instant Han raised his foot, Iori dodged in a flash.

The scalding steam swept across his face.

The Sharingan's red color was made even more intense.

"Han, the steam ninja, is the Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails."

"Skilled in taijutsu that combines physical techniques with Boil Release."

"We have reached an agreement with the Five-Tails and are able to use the Tailed Beast Transformation."

Uchiha Iori dodged the attack and calmly muttered something.

"How did you know I could transform into a tailed beast?" Han asked, his face showing shock.

Information about ninjas is top secret, and information about Jinchuriki is even more top secret.

Han never used the half-tailed beast transformation in the eyes of outsiders, let alone the full tailed beast transformation.

Only the village chief and some Jonin knew about this.

After reviewing the information provided by the village and finding no relevant information, Iori decided to exploit this information asymmetry to undermine Han's confidence in the Iwa ninja.

Even a clumsy lie is successful as long as it can disrupt his thoughts.

"Hmph, whatever, I trust the village." Han sneered, unwavering.

"Once I kill you, I can go back and find the spy."

Han had served the Iwa ninja for many years, and simple provocations could only temporarily divert his attention.

"Trace on (projection begins)."

Iori murmured, and the twin swords that appeared in his hands gleamed coldly, pointing directly at Han.

Han did not back down, and steam burst forth from behind him.

"Spray wrist."

He punched Iori's sword, and the force of the impact, carrying steam, sent Gan Jiang flying.

Click.

A sword, Moye, flew up from the ground, and Han, unable to turn around during the attack, could only barely adjust his body.

Mo Xie tore through the armor and caught up with Gan Jiang, who had flown away.

"How despicable! Trying to sway my will with words and then setting a trap?"

Han covered his wound, and the tailed beast chakra quickly stopped the bleeding.

"You set a trap the first time you dodged, and then attacked me while distracting me with words, making me unable to investigate carefully."

"Don't say such naive things on the battlefield. If you say that, you're still fighting two against one."

Uchiha Iori said dismissively.

He threw the Moye he was holding, projecting the Death Thorn Spear.

"Round Two, Begin."

Iori gripped her spear tightly, her eyes sharp, and charged toward Han.

"Trying to use the same trick again? This trick won't work twice."

"Spray steel feet."

Han leaped high into the air, and a large amount of steam billowed from the specially designed vents on his armor.

Accelerated by the steam, Han shot towards Iori like a cannonball.

[Good grief, is that a Knight Kick or a Leo Flying Kick?] Iori thought to himself.

After observing the power, speed, and chakra contained within the attack, Iori abandoned the idea of ​​confronting it head-on.

The technique of instantaneous movement.

With Minato Namikaze's guidance, Iori's Body Flicker Technique has reached a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

With the aid of his Sharingan's observation, Han's attacks always came to naught.

Each of his attacks created a large crater in the ground, and sometimes, under the cover of smoke, he would bury explosive tags inside the crater as traps.

However, under the Sharingan's observation, all of this seemed to be in vain.

"This won't do; my stamina and chakra will run out before his," Iori thought to himself.

"The person opposite me is a Jinchūriki, whose chakra and stamina far surpass mine."

Should we run?

"No, that would be like betraying our teammates who are still destroying the base."

"We have no choice but to take a gamble."

Uchiha Iori was having a bit of a headache because he had successfully suppressed Jiraiya in their last sparring match.

He underestimated the top ninjas in the ninja world.

The combat compatibility between mechanical monsters and numerical monsters is different.

The Piercing Thorn Spear, currently his strongest single-target weapon, has two fatal weaknesses.

Firstly, if the body's defensive capabilities exceed the destructive power of the Death Thorn Spear, it cannot pierce the heart.

Secondly, even if the opponent has strong luck, they will not be able to pierce the enemy's heart.

Facing a tailed beast carries both risks.

With the Tailed Beast Cloak providing protection, the Demon Spear might not be able to pierce or kill.

As the tailed beasts are part of the Divine Tree, it's hard to say whether they possess the attribute of strong luck.

If the attack fails, we will have to resort to backup plan A or even plan B.

If possible, Iori doesn't want to gamble on this probability.

"Your life is mine to take," Iori shouted, a resolute glint in his eyes.

“Gáe Bolg (Spear that pierces the dead thorns)”.

Iori regained his composure, picked up his gun, and charged towards Han.

Powerful chakra gathered on the demonic spear.

The tip of the spear glowed with a scarlet light.
