Blade Art: Instant Wind Slash.
A power combining Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, it granted Tianyuan speed that looked like instantaneous teleportation.
Tianyuan's physical prowess was already terrifying, but his recent cultivation of Ki had pushed his Taijutsu to even greater heights. Consequently, the power of this blade technique had become truly horrific.
If someone from the Dragon Ball World were here, they would perceive a strange, singular power layered atop his Chakra the power of Ki.
With peerless speed and cutting force sharp enough to slice through anything, Tianyuan's figure flickered ghost-like among the Iwa Shinobi. One could only see a thin flash of white light before the heads and torsos of the Iwa Shinobi began to slide off their bodies. These fallen ninja died with looks of utter terror, never even realizing how they had been struck.
They didn't have the slightest chance to resist.
"Curse you! Damn you!" A fiery red figure darted through the battlefield, desperate to stop Tianyuan's massacre. It was Roshi.
Having entered his Lava Release Chakra Mode, Roshi's body was shrouded in molten red lava. This significantly increased his defense and attack power while granting him immense physical strength. Yet, he still couldn't catch Tianyuan's movements.
Just how fast was this man?
"Run! Run!" The surrounding Iwa Shinobi were thrown into a state of panic. Because Tianyuan was too fast, they couldn't even lock onto a target, making any attempt at an attack impossible.
Once Tianyuan appeared beside them, their hopes of evasion were slim to none, save for a few with exceptional Taijutsu or those who had pre-emptively cast defensive Ninjutsu. The rest were simply cut down.
In a short span of time, Tianyuan had slain dozens of Iwa Shinobi. Such efficiency left the Konoha ninja stunned. Is this the power of a Kage-level expert?
And he hadn't even used that legendary divine power, Susanoo.
"Kill! Attack!" Hizashi Hyuga was the first to react. The enemy's fear provided the perfect window for a counter-attack.
With nearly half of their ranks wiped out by Tianyuan, the remaining Iwa Shinobi were paralyzed by the crushing sensation that death could claim them at any second.
"Charge!" Hizashi's voice roused the other Konoha ninja, and they threw themselves into the fray against the Iwa forces. Kushina Uzumaki followed suit.
For these Konoha ninja, they were finally witnessing Tianyuan's terrifying might a power that truly belonged to the legends of the Kage-level.
Roshi's eyes were nearly bloodshot, filled with a murderous, bloodthirsty rage. In such a short time, nearly half the Iwa Shinobi he led had died at Tianyuan's hands.
"That's about enough," Tianyuan said, coming to a halt. Since the Iwa Shinobi had finally managed to compose themselves, they wouldn't be finished off with a single move anymore. He decided to leave the rest to Hizashi and his team.
Now, he intended to focus entirely on one man.
"Go to hell!" Roshi roared, swinging an arm coated in molten lava.
"Good timing." Tianyuan sheathed his long blade and clenched his right hand, a peculiar power welling within his fist.
"Armament Haki."
Boom!
The two fists collided, and a massive explosion of force erupted. To Roshi's shock, he was the one at a disadvantage. In an instant, he was sent reeling back.
"What is this power?" Roshi thought grimly. Ordinary people couldn't engage him in close combat while he was in his Lava Release state, as the high-temperature magma would burn their flesh. However, Tianyuan seemed wrapped in a strange energy that rendered the heat of the Lava Release completely useless.
"Roshi." Tianyuan looked at the man and smiled. The System had triggered a new task. It seemed that during the Shinobi World War, high-quality video tasks were becoming quite frequent.
Defeating Roshi would grant him half of a high-definition X-Men video. Even just half was an excellent reward.
The X-Men world contained many powerful abilities capable of world-shaking destruction, such as Magneto's magnetic control, Professor X's Telepathy, or even the Phoenix Force. That video contained a multitude of unique powers.
Tianyuan was quite expectant, but his primary goal remained defeating Roshi.
He felt extremely confident. At his current level of strength, he didn't fear a single Jinchuriki. Within the power of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, his Susanoo had become formidable, not to mention his current mastery of Wood Release.
The power of a Tailed Beast was no longer something Tianyuan feared.
He was currently striving toward the Six Paths level. Only upon reaching that stage would he truly possess the capital to decide his own destiny in the Naruto world. After all, beings like Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths had once existed, and there was always the possibility of Kaguya's resurrection.
"Give it your all, otherwise, you aren't my opponent," Tianyuan said, meeting Roshi's solemn gaze.
"Then you can just stay here forever!" Roshi, still in Lava Release Chakra Mode, charged straight at Tianyuan. The extreme heat melting the ground beneath his feet.
"Though this mode is impressive, it won't work on me." Tianyuan didn't even bother with Ninjutsu, choosing to meet Roshi head-on with Taijutsu.
Boom! Boom!
The two continued their assault, the ground shattering and trees collapsing wherever they passed. The surrounding ninja quickly cleared a wide path, terrified by the scale of the confrontation.
Despite his Lava Release state, Roshi was being utterly suppressed by Tianyuan.
Bang!
Tianyuan's fist slammed into Roshi's face. The impact was so great that the lava covering Roshi's cheek was visibly shattered.
Bang! Bang!
Roshi skidded back, his feet plowing deep furrows into the earth before he finally came to a stop.
"I have to admit, Tianyuan, your Taijutsu has surpassed the Jonin level... no, perhaps your Taijutsu has reached the Kage-level," Roshi said slowly. "However..."
Roshi's hands moved into a series of seals. Orbs of glowing, red-hot magma began to spew from his mouth, hurtling toward Tianyuan.
"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique!"
It was a powerful Lava Release Ninjutsu; the orbs of magma radiated an extreme, concentrated heat.
"I'll play with you, Roshi," Tianyuan laughed. He too formed a set of seals ones that looked very familiar.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A massive torrent of fire erupted from Tianyuan's mouth, turning the ground into a sea of raging flames. It was a powerful Ninjutsu, ten times the scale of a Great Fireball.
