The next day, Shisui, Itachi, and the others in the task force had not yet departed.
Shun had already taken action, instantly arriving at the uninhabited island where the Two-Tails was imprisoned via Flying Thunder God.
The island was covered with cat claw marks of varying depths, and scorched black traces from blue flames still remained on the ground. These were all the "masterpieces" of the Two-Tails Matatabi, imprisoned for several months.
Trapped on this isolated island, day after day of anxiety and anger had left the island in a mess.
At this moment, Matatabi was curled up deep within a cave, blue Chakra swirling around it like a thin veil, its tail occasionally sweeping the ground with a hint of impatience.
Hearing footsteps from the cave entrance, it suddenly lifted its head, its golden pupils filled with vigilance. Flames instantly ignited at the tip of its tail, and even the temperature inside the cave abruptly rose.
Although it didn't remember the other party's identity due to its memory being erased, it instinctively sensed the danger of the person before it.
A low growl emanated from its throat, its limbs tensed, clearly ready to attack.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to 'borrow' some Chakra." Shun said calmly, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan rotating, instantly locking the Two-Tails' movements with Genjutsu.
Matatabi's flames suddenly faltered, its body trembling uncontrollably, and the vigilance in its eyes gradually replaced by fear.
Shun stepped into the cave, raising his hand to extract the Two-Tails' Chakra. As the Chakra continuously drained, the Two-Tails' size gradually shrank, its aura becoming weaker and weaker, until it finally collapsed onto the cave floor, even the flames at its tail tip growing dim.
"This Tailed Beast Chakra is enough."
Shun nodded in satisfaction, then gently touched Matatabi's forehead, erasing its memories.
The fear in Matatabi's eyes gradually receded. All memories of this island and of its Chakra being extracted were completely erased, as if it were a newborn kitten.
After completing all of this, Shun activated Flying Thunder God, instantly leaving the cave and teleporting it to a forest on the border of Kumogakure.
Watching the Two-Tails stumble and disappear into the depths of the forest, he smiled slyly, saying, "This way, Kumogakure will only think that Yugito is dead and the Two-Tails has been revived, which will certainly reduce the intensity of their search for Shisui and the others."
Having dealt with the Two-Tails, Shun's gaze turned towards the Land of Earth.
He raised his hand to sense the Tailed Beast Chakra within him: the Chakra of One-Tail Shukaku, Two-Tails Matatabi, Three-Tails Isobu, Six-Tails Saiken, Seven-Tails Chōmei, and Nine-Tails Kurama were all under his control.
Now only Four-Tails Son Gokū, Five-Tails Kokuō, and Eight-Tails Gyuki remained.
Among them, Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, had left Iwagakure long ago due to a conflict with Ōnoki, making it the perfect time to strike.
"I'll start with you."
A sharp glint flashed in Shun's eyes, and he activated Flying Thunder God, instantly disappearing from the island, reappearing within the Land of Earth.
He activated Divine Eye, his vision instantly covering the entire Land of Earth, and soon he captured Roshi's aura. The other party was resting against a rock wall, a faint Lava Release Chakra swirling around him, clearly having just finished a battle.
Shun did not show himself rashly, but instead gathered Chakra to change his appearance.
He slowly walked into the mine shaft, his footsteps echoing in the empty tunnel, instantly drawing Roshi's attention.
"Who?"
Roshi suddenly stood up, quickly forming hand signs, his Lava Release Chakra instantly erupting, making even the surrounding air scorching hot.
"Are you someone sent by Ōnoki? I already said, I'm not going back to Iwagakure."
"I am not from Iwagakure. I heard you are Iwagakure's strongest Jinchuriki, capable of perfectly controlling the Four-Tails? I came to spar with you, to see how much strength a so-called Lava Release ninja truly possesses."
Upon hearing this, Roshi's eyes instantly blazed with anger.
He was already filled with resentment due to Ōnoki's disdain, and now he was provoked by an unknown mysterious person, how could he hold back?
"Arrogant fool! Since you're looking for death, I'll grant it to you!"
Before his words finished, the Lava Release Chakra around Roshi surged violently, and he transformed into a red blur, charging towards Shun.
His Lava Release Chakra Mode was fully activated, his fists enveloped in scorching magma, each punch carrying enough heat to melt rock, smashing fiercely towards Shun's face.
Shun showed no panic, his figure ghost-like as he dodged to the side, Ice Release instantly activating. An ice wall appeared out of thin air in front of him, blocking Roshi's fist.
The moment the magma collided with the ice wall, a "sizzle" sound erupted, and white steam permeated the mine shaft, blurring their figures.
Roshi frowned slightly, then sneered, "Do you think using Ice Release can counter me? You hidden coward, do you only know how to hide?"
Lava Release: Granite!
The ground instantly cracked open, and countless magma-infused rock spikes rose from beneath the earth, spreading towards Shun's direction. The entire mine shaft seemed to transform into a magma hell.
Shun lightly tapped his feet on the ground, leaping into the air, while simultaneously forming hand signs rapidly.
Ice Release: Great Ice Dragon Technique!
Pale blue Chakra condensed into a massive Ice Dragon. The Ice Dragon opened its enormous mouth, spewing a large number of ice needles, instantly freezing the magma rocks, and even the steam in the air condensed into ice crystals, causing the temperature inside the mine shaft to plummet.
Roshi watched his Ninjutsu be easily broken, his expression finally turning grim.
The strength displayed by the mysterious person before him far exceeded his expectations.
He no longer held back his power, the Chakra around him surged again, and the Four-Tails' bones and fur gradually solidified within the Chakra, activating Tailed Beast Transformation.
A glint of interest flashed in Shun's eyes. "Now this is getting interesting."
Ice Release: Ice Prison Technique!
Pale blue ice pillars rose from all directions, instantly forming a giant ice prison, trapping Roshi within.
The walls of the ice prison were covered with sharp ice spikes, any struggle from Roshi would result in him being cut by the spikes.
"Damn it!"
Roshi roared from within the ice prison, his Chakra erupting again, and the Four-Tails' complete form fully manifested.
A 52-meter-tall red Son Gokū appeared inside the mine shaft, its colossal size filling the entire tunnel, with rock debris constantly falling from above.
The Four-Tails wielded a massive magma staff, smashing it fiercely towards Shun, causing the entire mine shaft to shake violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Ice Release: Ice Age!
Pale blue Chakra instantly spread, freezing the ground and walls of the entire mine shaft, even locking the Four-Tails' limbs firmly in ice, rendering it immobile.
Immediately after, Shun activated his Eternal Mangekyo, and the Four-Tails and Roshi instantly lost consciousness. The Four-Tails' form dissipated, reverting to human form, and Roshi softly collapsed to the ground.
After dealing with Roshi, Shun began to extract the Four-Tails' Chakra.
Half an hour later, when 80% of the Four-Tails' Chakra had been extracted, he stopped absorbing. Next, he squatted down and began to modify Roshi's and the Four-Tails' memories.
