Chapter 59 - 59 (2/2)
”This one is too strong; I don't know how long I'm going to last.”
After reaching a consensus, Gamahiro pulled out his swords and jumped in to fight Shukaku. On all levels, he was absolutely incomparable to it.
Ryo left his state of Ice elementization and went for Sage mode to intensify his perception abilities. He used his clan's technique to connect himself to all the ninjas on the battlefield. He was in too much of a pinch to try to distinguish between those of Konoha and those of the Sand.
”All Konoha Shinobis!” He sound rang across the minds of everybody on the battlefield making them pause for a moment.
”I am Ryo Yamanaka, and I am now fighting against the sand beast, the Ichibi Shukaku! Right now, I'm in desperate need for your help. Please, in 10 seconds, everyone near the center of the battle field use water release!”
Right as he finished his words, Ryo cut the connection. Even when in Sage Mode, it was still very taxing for him to send a message to so many people at one time.
He went back into Ice mode and fully released his Yin Seal. Ten seconds should be enough time for Konoha's Ninjas to prepare themselves and for Gamahiro to retreat.
”I don't know what he wants to do, but he's just asking for Water Jutsus. I don't think that would be a threat to Shukaku, and it should cost our enemies Chakra!” That's what most Sand Ninjas were thinking. They didn't try to interfere with Ryo's plan.
On the other side, Konoha's Ninjas were seeing the great battle against the monstrous Shukaku in the middle of the field, and felt sorry for Ryo. Now that they know that they could help him, they all prepared themselves. In ten seconds, Water was released in overwhelming amounts towards Shukaku.
”Freeze!” With the help of the Natural energy coming from the [Yin Seal], Ryo was able to successfully freeze all the water, and huge amounts of Ice fell on Shukaku's body getting it all riddled with holes.
The beast was wounded, and Konoha's Ninjas rejoiced. The sand ninja were in disbelief. After all, they've thought that Shukaku's defense was absolute!
Sure enough, it was still in the desert. Sand gathered around it, and holes in its body were repaired.
”You brat! That actually hurt! How dare you?! [Futon: Air Bullets]!”
Shukaku was angered by Ryo's attack, and it started spitting out immensely powerful air bullets his way. Ryo hurriedly controlled the ice making a powerful Ice wall protecting him. The ice in his wall was fortified with natural energy, so the Air Bullets didn't have much effect on it.
”Ryo, this will not stop it! It's a Biju. It won't run out of Chakra any time soon, and your ice wall will be destroyed sooner or later.” Gamahiro was worried as he said that.
”I'm preparing for a new technique, one that I've never used before. It's just an idea, and it takes some time to be prepared. All I can do now is relying on this Ice wall.”
”What technique could ever deal with Shukaku? Are you sure you can pull it off?”
”I am facing a Biju, so I can never be sure that I'll be winning. But if pull this technique, even if I don't beat it, I shouldn't lose to it.”
As the ice wall continued to be bombarded by Shikaku, it started to crack. However, Ryo still had his eyes closed and Gamahiro was getting worried.
”Hey hey!” The moment that the wall was shattered, Ryo opened his eyes. Ice around him began to gather.
Gamahiro felt that natural energy around him was pouring with an insane rate into the ice, and felt something that was about to erupt from within it.
”[Ice Colossus]!”
