Konoha starts from the root

Outside, in the deep sea, there is an archipelago covered by thick fog.

Two figures suddenly appeared here out of thin air.

One of them was wrapped in fiery red lava. As soon as he appeared, the high temperature around him dispersed all the nearby water mist.

At this time, another blurry figure also became clear.

The two people were Bai Ye and Lao Zi.

Their bodies were almost touching each other, and there seemed to be a black strip connected to each other, which was Bai Ye's arm.

Naturally, a flesh and blood body cannot resist the high temperature of the lava, so his arms were burned to the point of becoming charcoal just in his breath.

Not only that, because the distance was too close, other parts of Bai Ye's body were also burned by the high temperature, and blisters quickly appeared on the scarlet skin, which looked particularly terrifying.

Not daring to stay any longer, Bai Ye suddenly retracted his arm, kicked off his feet, and retreated almost three meters.

At this time, Lao Zi was a little confused. He had not yet recovered from Bai Ye's cruelty, but his eyes flashed and he was transported to this unfamiliar environment.

After a quick glance around, I found that the concentration of water vapor here was far higher than other places.

In addition, the sound of waves hitting the rocks can be heard from time to time.

He already knew that this was a sea area.

And such an environment is very unfavorable for both himself and the four tails in his body.

In an instant, he was taken from the underground magma lake to the depths of the ocean, completely changing the location. Combined with Bai Ye's identity and intelligence, he could only think of one ninjutsu.

"The Art of Flying Thunder God!"

Lao Zi murmured secretly.

Looking at the seriously injured Bai Ye, Lao Zi looked serious. If his opponent were an ordinary person, he would have declared victory at this time.

However, the opponent was a notorious S-class rebellious ninja, and he did not believe that the opponent had no back-up plan.

Therefore, although Bai Ye was not very far away from him, he still did not dare to act rashly.

He just paid careful attention to his surroundings and asked tentatively: "Bai Ye, what is your purpose in bringing me here?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye moved his blackened arms unnaturally, and replied casually: "It's nothing, I just want you to do a favor."

"Help? What help?" Lao Zi glanced at Bai Ye's arm and asked.

He was still trying to figure out Bai Ye's purpose.

It's a pity that Bai Ye didn't give him any more time and said directly: "Of course, I will use the four tails in your body."

As he spoke, he had completed forming the seal and was about to release the ninjutsu.

When forming the seal, his hands were extremely flexible, and how could he look like he was seriously injured?

Seeing this scene, Lao Zi secretly said: "No, I was careless."

He thought that Bai Ye's arm was seriously injured, and no matter what, it would be impossible to recover in such a short period of time. Even if he had a back-up, it could only be something else.

Moreover, the unnatural way Bai Ye moved his arms just now also illustrates this point.

However, he miscalculated.

······

"Illusion, The Art of Darkness."

Rich spiritual energy, accompanied by chakra, instantly poured into Lao Zi's head.

Immediately, he felt that his field of vision was rapidly shrinking, and the surrounding darkness spread out like silk, covering everything in his sight.

"This is...an illusion!"

Lao Zi was not young and experienced, so he immediately realized that Bai Ye was casting illusion.

Without any hesitation, he immediately mobilized the chakra of the four tails in his body.

Generally speaking, as long as foreign chakra is mixed into the body, it can immediately dispel the control of one's own chakra when the opponent casts an illusion, thereby breaking the illusion.

What's more, this alien chakra comes from tailed beasts.

Because of this, the jinchuriki who can fully transform into a tailed beast are not afraid of genjutsu. The tailed beast that has reached a consensus with the jinchuuriki can help the jinchuuriki remove the genjutsu at the moment when the jinchuuriki is possessed by the genjutsu.

Although Lao Zi is still unable to completely transform into a tailed beast, after hard training, he has mastered the secret of half-tailed beast transformation, and it is not difficult to mobilize the chakra of the tailed beast.

Therefore, in just the blink of an eye, he broke free from the Dark Art.

As a person who has a deep understanding of both genjutsu and tailed beasts, Shiroye naturally knows the limitations of using genjutsu to deal with tailed beasts.

However, he still did it.

And the reason why he did this was because all he needed was the little time bought by the illusion.

After Lao Zi's vision recovered, he realized that at some point, the white leaves had changed from one to four, and they were separated in front, back, left and right of him.

Immediately, a great sense of crisis emerged in my heart.

Without any hesitation, Lao Zi directly transformed into a half-tailed beast.

The next moment, dark red chakra completely enveloped him, and four huge tails were waving randomly.

At the same time, a roar came from his mouth, the surrounding air was shaken with ripples, and the nearby thick fog was dispersed outward again.

At this time, Lao Zi felt a strong sense of oppression on his body. Ninjas with weaker willpower would probably lose the courage to step forward immediately if they stayed here.

However, Bai Ye is obviously not among them.

Not only that, there was also a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if a child had seen a toy.

Perhaps sensing the contempt in Bai Ye's eyes, Lao Zi's somewhat vague will was directly swallowed up by the angry four tails.

Immediately afterwards, the four tails roared again, used all four limbs together, and rushed towards the white leaves in front of them at extremely fast speeds.

Seeing it rushing towards him, Bai Ye slowly released his hands from the seal, then calmly raised his palms and forearms at a ninety-degree angle, with his palms facing the four tails straightly.

The next moment, a white chain suddenly sprang out from the palms of his hands.

Not only the white leaves in front, but also the other three directions.

The moment these chains appeared, they hit every part of 'Old Zi''s body.

Seeing this, 'Lao Zi' swung out his palm and tried to destroy the two chains in front of him.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and the chain broke.

However, the next moment, a new chain extended from the end of the broken chain, and the target was still directed at every part of its body.

'Lao Zi' roared angrily and smashed the chain in front of him again like slapping a fly.

However, the chains seem to be endless. After breaking, they will grow back quickly.

Before 'Lao Zi' could fend off the chains for the third time, chains from other directions had already arrived.

In an instant, all the chains became flexible. While avoiding 'Old Zi''s attack, they wrapped around its four tails and limbs one after another, trapping it in the center.

'Lao Zi' was naturally unwilling to be bound by this, so he struggled crazily and even opened his mouth, trying to condense the tailed beast jade.

However, how could Bai Ye give it this chance?

I saw a piercing chill overflowing from Bai Ye's palm, along the chain, and quickly attached to Lao Zi's body.

Immediately, there was a harsh sizzling sound, as if cold water was poured into hot oil.

Following this, the dark red chakra on Lao Zi's body became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely disappeared.
