"So, you're that Konoha Genin who killed Onoki's son, granddaughter, and disciple?"
Roshi looked the young man standing before him up and down. To be honest, when he first heard the Stone shinobi speaking of the recent upheavals in the village, he couldn't believe that a mere Genin could force the powerful and stubborn Onoki to swallow such a bitter pill.
But seeing him now with his own eyes, he finally believed it.
Allen nodded with a smile. "That's right. I killed them. To be precise, I killed Kitsuchi while on a mission. Onoki wanted revenge, but ended up losing his granddaughter and disciple as well. And now, there's you. I don't care whether your relationship with him is good or bad; you are the Jinchuriki of the Hidden Stone. Taking the Four-Tails will definitely make Onoki suffer."
"Your desire for vengeance is quite intense. You weren't satisfied with wiping out Onoki's family; you want to weaken the Hidden Stone Village as well?"
As Roshi spoke, he slowly began to close the distance. It was obvious he had been provoked.
"Satisfied? No, it's not a matter of satisfaction. When it comes to enemies, I have a good habit of pulling them up by the roots. Since the hatred can't be resolved, it must be completely destroyed in the physical sense. Furthermore, what I'm doing now is just the beginning. Before long, the Hidden Stone Village will be permanently erased from the map."
Allen stated his malice toward the Stone without reservation. He was genuinely disgusted by the private political deals between the Third Tsuchikage and the Hokage. Once the Konoha Crush was over, he would head to the Hidden Stone and make Onoki understand exactly what price he had to pay for offending him.
"Brat! You're too arrogant! Die!"
Roshi roared and charged, attempting to incinerate his enemy with the Lava Release Chakra coating his body. Unfortunately, before he could get close, Allen raised both hands and instantly converted a massive amount of Chakra into a devastating Water Release technique.
The next second...
BOOOOM!!!!!
A massive wave, fifty meters high, appeared out of thin air, swallowing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki with the force of a collapsing mountain. His Lava Release Chakra was instantly nullified by the impact of the water. He was thrown back uncontrollably, crashing violently against the hard, jagged rocks. He barely managed to steady himself, coughing violently and clutching his chest.
"Oh? To perform Water Release of that scale without even needing hand seals?" Curiosity flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
"Hand seals? What are those?" Allen asked back with a cryptic smile.
"I see! You can use Ninjutsu without hand seals. What an enviable constitution," Orochimaru replied, unable to hide his interest.
Just as Roshi finished coughing up the water that had accidentally entered his lungs and prepared to draw out more of the Tailed Beast's power, Allen suddenly brandished several arrowheads engraved with Jutsu formulas—his Nen ability. He flicked them outward instantly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Since each arrowhead traveled at three times the speed of sound, they crossed the short distance of tens of meters in a mere 0.1 seconds. Roshi had no time to react; he could only focus all his energy on strengthening his Tailed Beast Cloak to tank the hit.
But at the exact moment the arrowheads were about to collide with the cloak!
Allen suddenly teleported to within twenty centimeters of his opponent, his fist glowing with brilliant blue Chakra.
"Sorry, but it's over."
BANG!
With the dual reinforcement of Nen and Chakra, Roshi was launched into the air. His Tailed Beast Cloak and the ribs protecting his chest were shattered instantly; even his heart sustained ruptures. If he hadn't had a Tailed Beast sealed within him, he likely would have been killed on the spot. Even so, he coughed up a massive spray of blood, his face twisted in utter shock.
Monster Strength!
Flying Raijin!
Roshi never imagined in his life that he would see these two world-renowned techniques appear again, let alone on the same person. Without hesitation, he didn't dare hesitate, he immediately connected with the Four-Tails. His body rapidly underwent a full Tailed Beast transformation in mid-air, turning into a colossal red ape.
In the blink of an eye, a blackish-purple Tailed Beast Bomb condensed and was fired directly at Allen.
BOOOOM!!!!!!!
With a violent explosion, everything within a radius of two to three hundred meters was obliterated, leaving a massive semicircular crater in the ground.
"I said it's over!"
While Roshi was still searching for traces of his enemy, Allen used the completely illogical Flying Raijin Technique to appear behind him. Once again, he swung a fist reinforced with Chakra and Nen, striking at supersonic speeds.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Without pause! Without respite!
The Four-Tails was literally beaten from the sky into the ground. Even the earth couldn't withstand the terrifying barrage, as fissures resembling earthquake cracks began to spread.
When the assault ended, Roshi had long since lost consciousness. The Four-Tails seemed to have been beaten into submission, not daring to release its Chakra again.
Looking down at his dying opponent, Allen finally nodded in satisfaction. "As a basic direct attack, my fist's power isn't bad. At least it has no problem taking on Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki. The next step is to combine Nen abilities with Ninjutsu to create more interesting abilities to reinforce my body and arrows."
"Flying Raijin indeed! With this technique, Allen-kun, there are likely very few opponents in the entire ninja world worth your time. Truly terrifying," Orochimaru praised while rapidly forming hand seals. He began performing an unknown sealing technique, slowly extracting the Four-Tails' Chakra from Roshi's body.
"How long will the extraction and re-sealing take?" Allen asked with interest.
"A few hours. Kimimaro, go guard the perimeter. Kill anyone who approaches on sight."
Orochimaru gave the order to his most loyal subordinate. During the extraction and sealing process, he would be completely immobile and unable to fight. Similarly, as the new Jinchuriki, Allen would be in the same state.
"Understood! Rest assured, I won't let anyone disturb you," Kimimaro promised without a second thought. His strength already far exceeded that of a Jonin. Had he not been plagued by his terminal illness, he could have held his own even against a Kage. This was why Orochimaru had made him a key player in the ambush of the Fourth Kazekage during the Konoha Crush plan.
Moreover, the Stone shinobi who had come to persuade Roshi to return had all been killed; Onoki wouldn't realize what had happened for some time.
And so, right under the nose of the Land of Earth, the two of them extracted the Four-Tails and sealed it into Allen's body. Strangely enough, throughout the entire process, the Four-Tails was unusually cooperative, showing no sign of resistance or any attempt to break the seal.
