H . R . P Chapter 143: Battle of Kikyo Pass (5)
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!”
Ryo was helpless, and he could only hit head .
As the Biju Dama was about to be launched, Ryo used Ice teleport to get in front of Konoha’s Ninjas .
“Everyone, point all the water you can produce at me, NOW!” Ryo turned back to Konoha’s Ninjas and shouted .
Everyone heard the order, and without hesitation, they all used their Water Release ninjutsus . The amount of water gathered from hundreds of small to medium sized Water Release Jutsus was huge .
Ryo froze the water, controlling most of it to form three massive Ice Shields . The remaining formed an Ice wall to fend off the aftermath of the explosion .
(Translator Note: I imagine these three shields being laid out similarly to Orochimaru’s Triple Rashomon . )
Understanding the power of the Biju Dama, Ryo didn’t stop there . Even though he had three Ice Shields and an Ice wall, he still felt that it wasn’t enough .
Ryo entered Sage Mode, and condensed a Rasenshuriken .
At this time, the Bijudama was also completed . At the same time of its, Ryo released the Rasenshuriken .
The two attacks collided in midair, and the Rasenshuriken did manage to offset a portion of the power of Bijudama, making it much smaller than its initial size .
“Boom!!” The Bijudama hit the 1st shield, easily breaking through it .
The second did manage to fend it off for a good while before ultimately being crushed as well .
The 3rd Shield stood against the attack for what seemed like an eternity, and eventually the Biju Dama didn’t go through and exploded .
The Ice Wall behind the Shield took the impact from the explosion, and none of Konoha’s Ninjas was harmed .
Ryo Ice Teleported back to where the Yonbi used to be, and continued to stall it .
Unlike the Kyubi, the Yonbi wasn’t capable to use consecutive Biju Dama without rest . Without that threat, Ryo was more comfortable dealing with it .
“Complete! Ryo, let’s both transfer this beast!” Minato finally completed the Teleportation Barrier .
Ryo nodded, and following Minato instructions, he injected Chakra to a seal he stepped on, and the Jutsu was performed instantly .
Ryo, Minato and the Yonbi all disappeared from the battlefield .
Somewhere near a river far away, they instantly reappeared .
Minato chose the target location to be near a river side to give Ryo the water he needed to get an edge over the Yonbi .
The beast was still a little puzzled by everything that had just happened, when Ryo and Minato started attacking .
This time, Minato was the one fighting the beast, while Ryo was supposed to make use of the water around him to help Minato by offsetting the Lava’s effect .
Minato didn’t have any worries facing the beast . Using his speed and consecutive Rasengan, he was able to fully occupy the Yonbi .
The beast was in a pinch against such an opponent . Without any way to keep up with his speed, the beast couldn’t do anything .
However, as soon as Minato got an edge, Ryo stopped assisting him and formed an Ice Bow .
An Ice arrow appeared on the bow . While pulling it back, Ryo gathered natural energy within the arrow, making it more and more transparent .
Minato was also a Mount Myoboku contractor . While he hadn’t completed his Sage Mode training at the time, he was also sensitive to Narutal Energy .
He sensed that in the arrow that was barely the length of an arm, there was an immense amount of Natural Energy . Once such a thing exploded, it should even be enough to kill the Yonbi .
Knowing what Ryo had in stores, Minato could only cooperate with him .
