Crack! Crack! Crack!
On the battlefield, a tremendous force as massive as a mountain suddenly surged from the bottom end of the Adamantine Nyoi, causing the entire staff to shake violently, and Isshin's body to sway along with it.
Beneath him, the enormous body of the fully transformed Three-Tails was gathering terrifying power, capable of overturning the giant pillar suppressing it at any moment.
Sensing the overwhelming force rising from below, Isshin had no intention of continuing a direct contest of strength.
After all, the Three-Tails' massive size was there for all to see, and after manually creating so many golden lightning swords earlier, his consumption had not been small either.
Therefore, at the very instant when the Three-Tails's accumulated power climbed to a horrifying level and was about to erupt, with a flip of his wrist, the Adamantine Nyoi suddenly shrank, returning to the size of an ordinary staff and landing in his hand. His entire body followed the motion as he leaped down lightly and landed on the ground.
And at the exact second his foot touched the ground…
Boom!
The mountain-sized body of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki suddenly rose, but the power he had accumulated to the limit lost its target when the opponent suddenly disappeared, like a full-force punch thrown into empty air.
The Three-Tails gigantic body immediately lost balance under the immense inertia, causing him to stumble forward uncontrollably, his footing becoming extremely unstable.
And in that instant of imbalance…
Isshin planted his feet, then twisted his waist and raised his arm!
The three movements flowed together seamlessly.
Lightning flashed through Isshin's eyes as he thrust the Adamantine Nyoi straight toward the staggering giant beast!
Phoenix Piercing The Flowers!
The staff instantly extended and expanded, its tip carrying unstoppable, penetrating force as it shot forward like a black bolt of lightning, viciously striking the opening created by the Three-Tails Jinchuriki's imbalance!
Boom!
The deafening clash between metal and shell exploded across the battlefield.
The mountain-like beast was blasted away by the strike, its enormous body sliding across the ground for a thousand meters, carving a bottomless trench as every ruin and shattered structure in its path was crushed into powder!
After sending the Three-Tails Jinchuriki flying, Isshin swept his gaze across the battlefield and prepared to turn back to support Konoha's forces.
Unexpectedly, the moment Yagura saw him land, it was as if he had spotted a mortal enemy; his eyes instantly turned red, and with a violent swing, he knocked back his opponent with his staff and charged madly toward Isshin.
"Don't even think about it!"
Koharu Utatane shouted sharply, and her katana swept like a storm, firmly blocking Yagura's path.
Blade and staff collided repeatedly, sparks flashing briefly before being extinguished by the rain.
Without even turning her head, Koharu Utatane shouted loudly: "Don't worry about us! Focus on your own battle!"
Isshin no longer hesitated and nodded.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred in the direction from which the Three-Tails had been blasted away.
The raging wind and rain across the sky seemed to be drawn by some invisible vortex, converging crazily toward a single point.
In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a chakra water ball dozens of meters in diameter.
The surface of the ball rotated at high speed, twisting the surrounding rain into gauzy spirals, then it shot forward explosively, carrying enough force to shatter mountains as it smashed straight toward Isshin!
Water Style: Great Water Mass!
Isshin neither dodged nor retreated, grasping the Adamantine Nyoi with both hands, he twisted his waist and swung it forward.
The Adamantine Nyoi rapidly expanded against the wind as he swept it horizontally toward the incoming chakra ball!
Bang!
With a thunderous explosion, the water ball was shattered into countless droplets that scattered across the battlefield.
The rainwater that struck the ruins afterward actually blasted countless pits into the ground; meanwhile, Isshin himself was forced back more than a dozen steps by the immense impact, while the Adamantine Nyoi in his hands continued to hum violently.
Although both Ninjutsu were called Great Water Mass, the Three-Tails' version was many times stronger than the one used by Gamabunta.
Before Isshin could even steady his breathing…
Boom!
The earth suddenly trembled and groaned.
The mountain-sized body of the Three-Tails had already curled into a ball, its massive shell wrapping around its entire body, transforming it into a gigantic, rolling wheel.
The edges crushed everything in its path as it rolled forward with enough momentum to split mountains and shatter the earth, charging directly toward Isshin!
Shadow Stroke.
The Three-Tails arched its entire body, using its nearly absolute-defense shell to wrap itself completely before rolling forward like a wheel, relying on its terrifying mass and weight to crush everything in its path.
The Three-Tails was already famous for its pure strength and defensive power, combined with the inertia continuously accumulated through its charge; the sight could only be described as world-shaking.
And behind Isshin lay the battlefield where Konoha's forces were fighting the Village Hidden in the Mist.
Isshin could dodge, but the ninjas from Konoha behind him could not.
Clearly, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki had planned exactly for that.
Seeing this, Isshin took a deep breath and finally stopped holding back, then a scorching crimson glow suddenly spread across his body.
The rain hadn't even reached him before it was vaporized into white mist by the intense heat.
The Adamantine Nyoi in his hand rapidly turned red-hot as well.
The staff emitted a deep hum as its blazing heat evaporated all the surrounding rainwater, forming a constantly churning barrier of steam around it.
Using Fire Style Jutsus in weather like this was practically going against the heavens, but he had no choice.
Fire Style was the field he was currently most familiar with and the one receiving the greatest enhancement from his talents.
Only by borrowing the power of Fire Style could he push his physical abilities, especially strength and explosiveness, to their current limit, even though this clone could not equip talents related to ninja occupations.
Whoosh!
Isshin swung his arm and hurled the now completely crimson Adamantine Nyoi forward!
The rapidly flying staff carved a blinding white trail through the rain curtain, and the rainwater along its path was instantly vaporized, creating a perfectly straight vacuum corridor!
Adamantine Prison Wall!
Just before colliding with the enormous rolling wheel, the Adamantine Nyoi suddenly split apart.
It transformed into dozens of equally crimson staff shadows that crisscrossed through the air, leaving countless scorching afterimages as they enveloped both the Three-Tails and the surging shockwaves around it!
Dozens of Adamantine Nyois descended simultaneously, and together, they formed a gigantic cubic prison that firmly locked the Three-Tails Jinchuriki inside.
The Three-Tails' charge was abruptly halted in place!
Crack!
But the stop lasted only a moment.
The chakra around the imprisoned Three-Tails merely paused for an instant before erupting skyward once again, becoming even denser and more ferocious, twisting the surrounding rainstorm beyond recognition.
Under the impact of that overwhelming power, the Adamantine Prison Wall began shaking violently.
The crimson glow along the staffs flickered on and off beneath the storm while shrill metallic screeches filled the air.
Of course, Isshin had never expected to trap it for long.
