Chapter 91 - 91 (2/2)
Onoki's initial plan was letting the Yonbi stall the two until he was able to destroy the entirety of the camp. What he didn't expect was that the Yonbi would be subdued in such a short time.
He had just started his attack, when Orochimaru was already back fending off one of his Dust Release Jutsus.
Konoha's Ninjas morals returned when they saw that Orochimaru had returned. The Rock's sneaking team's main force was Onoki. While the rest of the Ninjas were all powerful, they relied on Onoki's Dust Release to hold Konoha's Ninjas off. Against over 4000 of Konoha's Ninjas, they stood no chance of winning without him.
Roshi intended to retreat, but Ryo did not want to let him go. He blinked in front of him, blocking his way out.
There was no doubt that Ryo had great hatred within his heart towards Roshi. His grudge for the death of Yamanaka Akahito was engraved deep within his heart. This was his chance to get his revenge, and he was definitely unwilling to let his foe escape.
And without the Yonbi's power, Roshi's power was greatly decreased. This was the ultimate chance for Ryo to kill his and avenge Akahito.
Ryo seemingly went for the same style of attack, leaving an Ice scalpel where he used to be, and using Lightning to approach Roshi.
Although Roshi didn't have the Tailed Coat Mode to protect him, but to avoid any incidents Ryo changed the last step of his attack, stopping at a three meter distance from his fow, and using [Chidori Eiso] to attack from a distance.
At the moment of release of Chidori Eiso, scorching lava suddenly appeared all over Roshi's body, and his Lava composed armor was able to fend off Ryo's attack.
This Lava Chakra Mode also appeared in the Manga. With Edo Tensei, he was forced to fight the allied forces in the 4th war and faced Naruto.
In that state, even Naruto's Rasengan couldn't break this Lava armor, and even Naruto was burned by it.
Originally, Ryo though that it was a power dependent on the Yonbi; he didn't expect Roshi to be a user of Lava release by himself.
Facing the Lava Chakra Mode, Ryo had nothing to do. Facing this armor, he seemed to be in a very helpless situation. He couldn't face its heat, let alone break through it.
”Kid, looks like you cannot keep up with me!”
”That's not necessarily the case. I don't know how long you can sustain this mode without the Yonbi's Chakra. Also, when I sealed it within you, I've also sealed much your own Chakra stores!”
Ryo said those words, while keeping an eye of Roshi's expression. Sure enough, when he mentioned the fact that his Chakra was sealed, Roshi panicked a little as well.
”Hiro, let's attack him nonstop! You with your Water Gunshots, and me with my water release as well. Let's see how much it takes us to burn him out!” Said Ryo, as he once again blocked Roshi's way out.
Gamahiro heared Ryo. As he understood his intentions, he immediately started releasing consecutive Gunshots towards him.
With the joined effort of man and toad, Roshi's Lava Chakra Mode was eventually extinguished by the onslaught of water attacks.
”Old man, without your mode, what will you do now?” Ryo was interested in how Roshi, who was drenched in water, would react.
His face was really heavy indeed. Just like Ryo had just said, his Chakra had already bottomed out, and there was a possibility that he would die there.
