535. A Heated Battle Part-3

While Jiraiya is battling against the Four-tails and the Five-tails, Naruto confronts the combined assault of three-tails, two-tails, six-tails, and seven-tails.

The Six tails, Saiken, expel a pinkish mist from the holes around its mouth.

The mist rapidly expands and corrodes the ground on contact.

"Naruto, be careful of that mist. This mist can even melt the hardest mineral on the contact. Avoid it at all costs!" Kurama warns him.

Whoosh…

Naruto swiftly flickers away from the mist. Naruto crosses his arm and covers himself with Kurama's chakra.

Bang… bang…

Several thread spears rain down from the sky and explode on contact. Naruto blocks the barrage of the explosive spear at the cost of losing a little portion of the chakra shield.

Fwoosh…

The three tails charge at Naruto and transform into a spinning ball with several spiked protrusions from its armor.

"I can't get hit by that."

Naruto's expression turns grim at the sight of a massive pinball the size of a hill.

Swish… swish…

He makes some rapid hand signs and slams his palm on the ground.

"Earth Release: Mineral Shift,"

Naruto infuses his chakra into the ground and extracts hard minerals to create a ramp of earth in front of him. The three tails roll over the ramp and fly high in the air, avoiding Naruto.

"Eat this! Lightning Release: Surge Rasengan,"

A sphere of yellow lightning with a mix of purple lightning forms in Naruto's chakra arms. The core of the sphere has a highly compressed iron core that occasionally discharges purple and yellow lightning. While three lightning rings flicker around the lightning orb.

Naruto extends his chakra arm and tosses it toward the three tails.

Shoom…

The lightning Rasengan strikes three-tails outer shell and explodes.

GRRAH…

The lightning Rasengan envelops Three-tails massive body in a giant lightning sphere and strikes the coral scales on its body with bolts of yellow and purple lightning. Three-tails release a painful cry at the surge of lightning.

BANG…

Its massive body slams into the ground and creates an enormous crater on impact. Several lightning bolts flicker across its body, paralyzing it on the ground.

"Naruto, watch out!"

Bang…

Kurama's outcry came a bit late. The seven tails strike Naruto's body with the tip of its chitin horn. It lifts its head and launches Naruto into the sky.

Chomei opens its mouth and charges a massive-tailed beast bomb. Naruto continues to soar higher in the sky from the previous hit.

Guffaw…

He spews out a mouthful of blood and clutches his chest. His chest has caved in from the horn strike.

"I think I broke a few ribs from that attack. The pain is similar to the pain of being hit by a truck, as described by Izuna Nii-san."

Orange-red wisps of chakra enter his chest and rapidly heal his body. Naruto is almost healed before he prepares his descent toward the ground.

Naruto extends the chakra hands on his back and rapidly infuses the chakra into them.

"Earth Release: Gravity Rasengan,"

Large amounts of sand and gravel gather in the chakra arms to create a sphere. Naruto continues to infuse earth-release chakra into the Rasengan. The Rasengan changes color from brown to faint silvery black. The massive sphere slowly contracts and compresses into a small ball. Naruto repeats the process until the silvery white Rasengan in his hand turns the size of a giant Rasengan.

Fwoosh…

The seven-tails fire the tailed beast bomb toward Naruto.

HAAH…

Naruto also launches his Earth Release Rasengan at the tailed beast bomb.

BOOM…

Both jutsu collide in mid-air and explode. The shockwaves from the jutsu propel Naruto high up in the air. The size of Naruto's earth Release Rasengan rapidly deteriorates from the clash.

Bang…

After being reduced to the size of a basketball, the Earth releases Rasengan disperses the tailed beast bomb, and continues its descent. It accelerates due to gravity and turns into a huge burning sphere from friction.

Bang…

The super-dense sphere strikes Chomei's armor and pins him to the ground.

"Explode!"

Naruto claps his calm, and the Rasengan explodes, covering Chomei's body with a layer of sand and debris.

Bam…

Naruto also lands on the ground and confronts the two-remaining tailed beasts in front of him. Matatabi and Saiken attack at the same time.

Chomei releases a dense yellow mist from the holes in its mouth.

"Boil Release: Corrosive Haze,"

Matatabi opens her mouth and expels a wave of blue flames spanning several hundred meters in radius.

"Inferno Release: Byōen Hōka,"

The deadly blue flames and the corrosive Haze combine to produce green flames.

"Combination Jutsu: Caustic Flames,"

The flames quickly travel toward Naruto and incinerate everything into dust along the way.

Naruto retreats while infusing chakra into the chakra hands on his back. 

A large amount of highly dense compressed water swirls into a chakra sphere. Several water rings circle the water Rasengan.

"Water Release: Heavy Water Rasengan,"

A large amount of wind chakra gathers into his other arm.

"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken,"

Naruto tosses both Rasengan toward the incoming wave of green flames.

The Rasengan flies towards the green flames and merges midway to create an azure Rasengan.

"Combination Jutsu: Vortex Rasengan,"

The wind and the water Rasengan combine to create a massive water vortex with several rings around it.

The vortex Rasengan collides with the green flames and pulls them inside itself. Bit by bit, the azure water extinguishes the green flames.

After reaching the center of the green flames, Naruto detonates his Rasenshuriken.

Azure water drops rain down on the flames and extinguishes them. The sharp azure water needles hit the body of the tailed beasts.

They evaporate before reaching Matatabi's body while it slips off from Saiken's slimy body.

--------------------

On the other side of the battle,

The huge lava golem and Gedo Statue continue to trade blows. With Lava golem's each hit, a portion of the Gedo Statue burns and falls to the ground. While Gedo's every punch will shatter a portion of Lava Golem's body.

The Gedo Statue regenerates by absorbing the vitality and chakra from its surroundings while Mei infuses her chakra into the lava golem to mend its cracks and broken parts.

Even after trading blows for almost fifteen minutes, both sides are unable to decide a victor. Whenever Mei directly attacks the Gedo Statue with her jutsu, the weird eyes around the Gedo statue open fire laser at her.

In the end, Mei had no choice but to retreat behind the golem.

Tch…

Mei glances at the rapidly regenerating patches of wood on the Gedo statue and clicks her tongue.

"At this rate, I will end up running out of chakra before I could take this thing down. This thing is like a cockroach that won't die no matter what." Mei sighs helplessly.

"In that case, I can only attempt to blow it up with a single powerful attack."

Fwoosh…

Mei jumps down from the top of the golem and retreats to a safe distance.

"This should be far enough!"

The next second, she makes a series of hand signs. The massive lava golem suddenly pauses in its attack. It allows the Gedo Statue to land blows on its body.

Bang… bang…

Gedo punches the lava golem and its fists easily pierce a hole through the previous tough body of the golem.

Mei smirks as the Gedo Statue falls for her trap. She intentionally softened the punching spots to trap the monster in front of her.

HAAH…

Mei claps her hand and the next second, the area around the fist spots on Lava Golem's body hardens.

GROOAR…

The lava golem releases a roar and charges toward the Gedo statue. The several eyes on the Gedo Statue fire a barrage of lasers. These lasers chip away a major portion of the lava golem's body.

However, the lava golem ignores the damage to its body and grabs the Gedo statue with its massive arms. It wraps them around the waist of the Gedo Statue.

Swish… swish… swish…

Mei makes a series of rapid hand signs.

"Lava Release: Volcanic Burst,"

BOOM…

The core of the lava golem shines brightly with a dazzling glow. The body of the golem expands continuously and wraps around the Geo Statue.

The next second,

Bang…

A loud rumbling noise echoes throughout the battlefield. The massive lava golem explodes into a fiery display of lava, fire, rocks, dust, and debris. A mushroom-shaped smoke cloud rises at the site of the explosion. A massive pillar of fire follows the mushroom cloud.

Rumble… Rumble…

The deafening sound echoes throughout the battlefield. A powerful shockwave travels across the land, blowing several rocks, boulders, and trees into the sky.

The next second, a hurricane of dust and debris shrouds Mei.

She quickly shields herself with her rubber-like defense and takes cover on the ground.

Obito, who was preparing for the ritual, also momentarily pauses with his hand signs. His expression turns ugly as he imagines the state of the Gedo Statue after such a powerful explosion.

'Gedo Statue is the mindless husk of the ten-tails. I hope it's half as tenacious as the real thing.'

The next second, he speeds up the process.
