Chapter 453 VS Roshi
Facing the oncoming lava fist, Nagato's expression did not change at all.
The right hand that was performing the 'Banshō Ten'in' moved slightly outwards.
Roshi's fist, which was in the air with nowhere to gain support, was instantly diverted and passed by Nagato.
At the same time, Nagato grabbed Roshi with his left hand without hesitation, completely ignoring the hot magma on his body.
The high-temperature magma that should have been able to easily burn the enemy was strangely and quickly absorbed by Nagato's left hand, and completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But Roshi is at least a veteran Kage-level warrior.
The scene of Nagato dodging his punch just now flashed through his mind.
'Can he only absorb ninjutsu?!'
Thinking of this, Roshi did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly removed the "Lava Style Chakra Mode" on his body.
At the same time, he bend his right leg and push forward.
With a powerful knee strike, he blocked Nagato's right palm that was aimed at his chest.
Then he swung his right elbow, left fist, and left leg continuously to deliver close combat.
Although Roshi had nowhere to gain support in the air, he actually relied on a series of physical attacks to force Nagato to panic and have to fight back.
Seeing that he could not gain an advantage in close combat, Nagato immediately pushed forward with one hand.
"Shinra Tensei!"
An invisible force field instantly spread around Nagato.
In the blink of an eye, Roshi, who was unable to resist the force field attack, fell straight to the ground like a cannonball.
"Boom~"
Roshi that fell to the ground raised a large amount of rubble and dust.
Then a large mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.
But before he could rejoice that he had escaped from the enemy's control and stood on the ground again, a burst of violent electric current sounded from high in the sky.
Roshi looked up and saw that the arm of the man in the sky had twisted into a strangely shaped puppet cannon barrel at some point.
The dazzling white beam of light was like a giant, sharp lightsaber, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, piercing straight into the ground.
In a panic, the power of the tailed beast in Roshi's body rapidly emerged.
A red octopus tentacle instantly stretched out and slammed the ground hard, using the reaction force to push Roshi out of the range of this dangerous attack.
But even so.
Roshi was still blown away dozens of meters by the shock wave of the explosion that followed.
At the same time, the voice that hadn't spoken for a long time rang in Roshi's mind.
"Let me take over! If this continues, we'll both die!"
The one who could speak in Roshi's heart at this time was naturally the four-tailed Son Goku sealed in his body.
But at present, Roshi still doesn't know the name of the four-tailed beast.
The current relationship between the man and the tailed beast is only that Roshi can borrow a small amount of the power of the Four-Tailed Beast.
But in this life-and-death crisis, the Four-Tails could not care about the slight rift between it and the Jinchūriki.
However, Roshi quickly refused in his heart.
'If the person on the other side can absorb chakra and I enter the tailed beast form, then I might just fall into his trap.'
The complete form of the tailed beast is composed of chakra. If the opponent can absorb ninjutsu, it may not be impossible to directly absorb the tailed beast.
In that case, there is a high possibility that even physical attacks will not be able to cause damage.
Thinking of this, Roshi spoke quickly.
'You lend me your strength, and I'll do the rest.'
The communication between hearts only takes a moment.
Feeling the chakra filling up again in his body, Roshi activated the 'Lava Style Chakra Mode' again.
However, this time, Roshi did not choose to form hand seals to perform ninjutsu. Instead, he quickly took out several shurikens and threw them at Nagato who was still floating in the air.
The seemingly ordinary shuriken was melted rapidly by the high temperature the moment it left his hand, turning into several streams of flowing red molten iron that shot towards Nagato at a rapid speed.
Nagato, who was flying in the air, naturally noticed Roshi's actions.
He knew that he could not directly absorb this materialized attack with his Rinnegan.
Without saying a word, he instantly activated 'Shinra Tensei' and once again deflected the attack.
'It really works!'
Seeing this, Roshi was shocked and immediately prepared to use the same trick again.
But the next moment, the familiar pulling force enveloped him again.
Before he could think too much, a huge crimson chakra claw immediately appeared on Roshi's body and grabbed a huge rock on the ground.
However, the suction force of 'Banshō Ten'in' cannot be resisted in this way.
Roshi's figure, along with the huge rock, were dragged into the air.
However, it is unknown whether Roshi grabbed the boulder in order to stabilize his body.
The huge rock quickly turned red and began to melt in the hand of the chakra's giant claw.
Roshi also used this pulling force to quickly throw the huge rock of magma in his hand, which was constantly heating up, towards Nagato.
It is also a huge magma rock, but it is not an entity created by chakra, so Nagato cannot absorb it.
But this time he did not choose to activate 'Shinra Tensei' to resist the attack.
Instead, he quickly moved sideways in the air and avoided the attack again.
When Roshi saw this scene, he immediately started to make associations in his mind.
'He didn't use that repulsion force? Is it because it can't resist large attacks? Or can't it be used continuously?'
Thinking of this, Roshi began to test again.
The dozen or so shurikens in his hand were not thrown out at once. Instead, they were turned into high-temperature molten iron and thrown one by one to test.
Then, he saw that the opponent was just as he had guessed. He did not continue to use repulsion to block, but just kept dodging in the air.
Without saying a word, Roshi transformed into the complete form of the tailed beast.
A huge four-tailed red-haired ape instantly appeared on the ground.
The scarlet heat also began to spread.
Four-Tailed Beast's true form just appeared and paid no attention to Nagato in the air.
After an angry roar.
The giant ape suddenly clasped his hands together, interlocked his fingers and clenched them into fists.
Then, streams of scorching hot magma instantly gushed out from the palm of the giant ape.
However, this huge, scorching fist wrapped in red magma was not intended to attack Nagato who was still flying in the air.
As Nagato looked on in astonishment, the giant ape slammed the ground heavily with both hands.
"boom--"
"Lava Style: Scorching River Great Eruption."
As the scorching hot magma sprayed, the earth instantly turned red.
The soil and rocks melted and the trees burned.
The magma and sea of fire quickly spread in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the mountains and forests here turned into an endless scorching purgatory.
At the same time, with the huge size of the tailed beast, this heavy punch that hit the ground violently directly blew up the magma and the earth together.
The powerful shock wave pushed the endless sea of lava and fire, instantly covering the entire sky.
If it is just a pure Lava Style attack, even if the range is large, Nagato can easily absorb it all. However, at this moment, the melted stones that have risen into the air due to high temperature and impact force among the chakra creations cannot be resolved solely by the ability to absorb ninjutsu.
However, he just looked at the horrifying sight of the overwhelming magma rushing towards him.
There was only endless indifference in Nagato's eyes.
