Chapter 143 - 143 (1/2)
After the Jinchuriki was injured by Minato, he used too much of the Biju's Chakra. This new Jinchuriki had a really bad relationship with Son Goku, so his consciousness was soon taken over by the Yonbi.
After the Yonbi took over his host's body, Chakra oozed out of it, getting it to enter the Tailed Coat Mode, and then turning him into a the Yonbi.
”Ha Ha Ha! I'm finally able to immerge again!” The Yonbi laughed.
Looking back at Son Goku's usual behavior, Ryo felt that this laughter was out of his usually character. Normally, this would something that the Ichibi would say.
However, Ryo understood this behavior. After all, it's inevitable that one would burst out like this when leaving a state of captivity that they entered just a few days after regaining their freedom.
”Ryo, now is no time to be in a daze. Work with me to get this guy out of the battlefield!” Minato saw Ryo lost in thought, and he quickly scolded him.
Hearing Minato, Ryo immediately came back to his senses
”Ni-san, the two of us are more than enough to bring down the Yonbi. There is no need to transfer it.” Said Ryo.
”We need to be careful. It's a Biju after all, and the Yonbi's Lava would be lethal for ordinary Ninja.
Ryo didn't disagree with Minato, who immediately began to immediately form a ground seal to make an area Teleportation Barrier, while Ryo was responsible of keeping the Biju busy.
After the Yonbi vented for a while, he calmed down and looked at Ryo and Minato.
”It's you! You wicked brat! You've killed Roshi! [Lave Release: Flower–Fruit Mountain]!”
Seeing the enemy who killed Roshi, the Yonbi raged, releasing a Massive Lava Release Jutsu at Ryo.
While he wasn't exactly in harmony with his old Jinchuriki, with the two often quarreling, Son Goku had been with Roshi for over 20 years. So to him, he was the closest thing possible to a friend.
Therefore, seeing Roshi's killer made his blood boil.
The Yonbi, being a Biju, had practically Infinite Chakra. That, coupled with his hatred to Ryo, made his attacks particularly fierce.
Ryo was helpless; he could only use Ice Teleportation to avoid the Lava, all while being careful not to get Konoha's Ninjas in the crossfire.
”Ni-san, are you not ready yet? If you don't hurry, I'll be getting cooked in here!” Ryo shouted at Minato.
”Patience, I'll be ready soon!” Minato also sounded anxious, as he was fully aware of Ryo's state.
”Since that's the case, than I shall give this guy a little lesson.” After Ryo finished his words, he condensed a small Ice Bow.
Unlike before, Ryo's new arrows were made out of Ice, but of Lightning Chakra Instead. While they weren't as destructive as his Ice Arrows, they were much faster to launch and traveled much faster.
Ryo shot a few Lightning Arrows in a row at the Yonbi. While the attack didn't do any real damage, it still have a paralyzing effect that bothered the Yonbi to the extreme.
”Wicked brat!” The Yonbi just ignored Ryo's attacks, and started forming a Biju Dama that was aimed at Konoha's ordinary Ninjas, as he discovered that all Ryo was doing was covering up for them.
Konoha's Ninjas also noticed the Biju Dama pointed at them, and they instantly panicked! It was a Biju Dama, something that they have no way to deal with!
”This guy is smart. Minato Ni san, do you have way to stop it?” Asked Ryo.
”I'm about to finish my preparations, I can't stop now! Please Ryo, find a way to handle it on your own!”
As the Biju Dama was about to be launched, Ryo used Ice teleport to get in front of Konoha's Ninjas.
