He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

Tailed beasts are natural disasters, so the jinchūriki who sacrificed themselves to seal them must be treated very well, right?

Yes, yes, even in a desert where water resources are scarce, the one-tailed jinchūriki can enjoy free vegetables from the villagers.

Lao Zi's childhood was very simple, which can be summarized in a few sentences.

'Why is that monster out again?'

'Where's the Anbu? Quickly take this monster back and lock him up.'

'Get out of the village! You monster who harms people!'

So kind and friendly.

Because the village lacked the physique and powerful sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, Iwagakure's plan to create Jinchūriki proceeded smoothly, directly resulting in Rōshi's less than ideal childhood.

If it weren't for his ties to the village, he would have defected long ago based on his memories of Iwagakure.

Isogen's words reminded him of those painful memories, and the Lava Release, fueled by this rage, exploded in temperature!

Chakra is the power of the mind. Old Purple was already in a bad mood, and Isogen's words stirred up memories of his miserable past, causing him to feel grief and anger.

Four-tailed Fox's eyes lit up.

opportunity!

boom!

"Roar!!"

A roar filled with resentment, anger, and displeasure unleashed a rolling wave of sound, which carried the surging lava from the ground to even more distant places.

What came into everyone's view was Old Purple, who had a lava beast tail behind him!

"Damn it, of all times!"

Old Purple's face was contorted with rage as he desperately fought against the Four-Tails, which was trying to suppress his consciousness.

After his strength increased, no one in Iwagakure dared to treat him the way they did when he was a child. However, apart from those familiar people, others still kept their distance from him in daily life. Originally, no one mentioned it anymore, and he himself selectively forgot about it.

I never expected that a little brat would point that out to me today.

"You guys really do collect all sorts of intelligence."

He didn't believe that Ichigen could find out the inside story of Iwagakure. There was only one answer: the spies from Konoha were just bored.

Fifty Strings didn't respond, but simply smiled and asked, "Old Zi, do you want a mother?"

"...Die!"

The ferocious roars of beasts, mixed with human voices, assaulted Wu Shixian Yuge like a storm.

The fifty strings, without giving an inch, took the initiative to meet the challenge.

So what if you're half-tailed beast? We'll take you down with your full tailed beast form!

Boom!!

boom! !

The deafening explosions ravaged the forest almost non-stop, blasting hills into rocks, then rocks into pebbles, and finally into dust.

Lava splattered, explosive tags flew everywhere, mixed with the blood, flesh, and bone fragments of Fifty Strings.

Sakumo Hatake and the others watched the battle with astonished expressions. The White Fang of Konoha found himself with no place to intervene in this fight.

It's not impossible for him to force his way in, but he lacks the confidence to avoid hurting the 50th string or being hurt by it.

If someone had told him before that he couldn't even get involved in a battle between ninja academy students, he would have risked the Hatake family's reputation to refute it, but now the facts are right in front of him.

We don't know when it will explode, or the blast radius. Even he might get injured or hurt Fifty String in the fierce battle.

Sakumo Hatake was both troubled and helpless.

It's not that I didn't try hard enough; it's just that Ichigen's unique fighting style is completely one-of-a-kind among ninjas.

Among ninjas who fight using explosive tags, only Isogen would put himself in the blast radius. Any normal ninja who did that would be thinking of taking everyone down with them.

This guy is really something, he's using this like a basic attack!

It's one thing for him to use basic attacks, but he also has a technique that allows him to use his own body as an explosive tag.

How mentally unstable must someone be to come up with this kind of usage?

Where is your secret technique that allows you to transform your body into chakra? Where are all those explosive tags?

Don't think I didn't see that you're using a mix of explosive tags and body explosions!

"What do we do now?" Uchiha Aoen hesitated.

He couldn't understand why this Jinchūriki was so angry about Igarashi's words.

To be honest, the compatibility between the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and their group is very poor.

The Uchiha's genjutsu was anticipated and disrupted by the tailed beast's chakra. The unpredictable Uchiha throwing techniques were defended against by the lava-style armor, and the opponent's ranged ninjutsu was equally impressive.

Based on past experience, if such an opponent is determined to leave, they cannot be stopped by anyone, not even with White Fang present.

Without Jinchuriki of this caliber, they wouldn't be the nuclear deterrent for each ninja village.

After a brief silence, Uchiha Itsukushima suddenly spoke.

"Lord White Fang, is it possible to capture him alive?"

Sakumo Hatake, who was keeping a close eye on the battle, was equally quick-witted.

"If the jinchūriki remains in this state..."

Capture the Jinchuriki alive!

Sakumo Hatake narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted loudly, "Yu Ge, keep up the previous rhythm!"

Having just finished bombarding Old Purple, Isogen glanced sideways at them, looking at them with a strange expression as they were ready to join the fray: "This guy just misses his mom and dad. I'm discussing with him how to help him find new parents."

"Roar!!" Old Zi lost his mind even further.

Uchiha Itsukushima's lips twitched slightly: "Lord White Fang, I think we should avoid affecting Isogen's performance."

"……Um."

Meanwhile, a small hill, quite far from the blast site, stands in a three-legged stand.

Hanzo the Salamander wearing a gas mask, Kakuzu with eyes full of greed for money, and Jiraiya with a serious expression.

As the explosions faded into the distance, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze fixed intently on his two formidable enemies.

His encounter with Hanzo the Salamander was unexpected, but it was through Hanzo that he learned that people from Konoha were fighting over there.

As for the other one, Kakuzu, a famous bounty hunter in the underworld.

Both are formidable enemies.

"Does Konoha want to start another war?!" Hanzo the Salamander asked coldly.

Jiraiya chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, absolutely not, but our ninjas are on a mission, could you please take them back with you?"

Sanshoyu Hanzo narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Jiraiya were the only one confident in his strength, he could easily defeat the enemy. However, only a year after the war ended, the strength of this kid whom he had bestowed the title of one of the Three Legendary Sannins could not have soared to a level that Jiraiya could not comprehend. The real constraint on him was the people around him.

He had also heard of the famous bounty hunter.

Jiraiya is also quite strong, and he wouldn't be afraid to fight here, but the question is how many of the men he brought will be able to return.

However, voluntarily leaving would be detrimental to his prestige.

He didn't have such complex psychological states as them; he only cared about one question.

"Can you guys move aside? Don't block my way from making money!"

The scene of the three-way standoff was unknown to anyone at the explosion site, which was now entering a heated phase.

"Mr. Tailed Beast? Miss? Do you have a father?"

"Roar!"

Do you have a mother?

"Roar!"

"Oh, neither of them."

'Get him!'

"You don't need to tell me!"

Chapter 47 The Old and the Young with Feelings

The group consciously led Old Purple towards the Land of Fire.

Old Purple, enraged, temporarily lost a crucial role as a ninja.

Necessary vigilance.

When a ninja loses his vigilance, defeat is not far off.

Seizing the opportunity when Roshi's Lava Release armor was blown open, Sakumo Hatake teleported to the center of the battlefield, his White Fang short blade aimed at Roshi's left arm as he was forming hand seals.

Alarm bells rang in Lao Zi's mind, and he quickly adjusted his movements to dodge. White Fang was a short blade, and he could avoid damage by dodging it slightly. However, the next second, Hatake Sakumo's chakra on White Fang quickly unfolded, and the chakra-formed blade forcibly increased the length of White Fang!

puff!

Blood splattered, Old Purple's hand trembled, and the chakra energy within his body became disordered.

Having landed a successful blow, Hatake Sakumo retreated rapidly.

Isogen greatly agrees with Sakumo Hatake's actions.

The so-called ninja is actually an assassin. A qualified assassin should have the ability to escape thousands of miles away after a single strike, regardless of success or failure.

This isn't the era of the cuckolded cyborgs next door, where the strong are all tanky, sit-up champions, and ninjas are quite fragile.

Not every ninja can boost their health like him with Yang attribute. His modified Palm Healing Technique continuously restores health, and his 'Triple Rebirth' repairs his body, essentially turning his body into a blast.
