BAM…
Gengetsu fires multiple water bullets toward Mei.
Spurt…
The bullet pierces through an exhausted Mei's body, splashing blood on the seafloor.
Sigh…
Gengetsu sighs in frustration.
"You should have listened to me."
Poof…
Mei's body disappears in a puff of white smoke.
Huh!Gengetsu's eyes widen in surprise.
"T-that's the shadow clone jutsu of the Second Hokage." He recognizes the infamous technique.
Whoosh…
Suddenly, Mei appears behind Gengetsu, makes a series of hand signs, and slams her palm on the ground.
Swish… swish… Slam…
"Six Heavenly Obsidian Pillar Sealing Formation,"
Bang… Bang…
A giant sealing formation appears on the ground. Six pillar rises on each side of a hexagram.
"Oh! A Fuinjutsu formation using the lava release." Gengetsu glances at it in amazement.
"So, you were preparing such a surprise for me. This might actually work. Not bad!"
Whoosh… whoosh…
Powerful black chains erupt from the pillars and bind Gengetsu in the center.
"Seal me, quickly seal me!"
Gengetsu desperately attempts to resist the control of the Edo Tensei.
The sealing formation glows brightly with chakra and several sealing crawls across Gengetsu's body and seals his chakra.
Blub… blub…
Gengetsu's body suddenly expands outward.
Crack… crack…
Cracks appear on the pillars as the black chains are unable to hold him in place.
Gengetsu's body suddenly expands to tens of meters and destroys the sealing formation.
"RUN, little girl. This is Steaming Danger Tyranny! One of my powerful jutsu. After reaching the critical pressure, this giant body of mine will explode and then re-condense using the 'Hydrification Technique'. This will continue till I run out of chakra. Usually, I use it in tandem with my water clone jutsu. However, since I am currently using my actual body; the scale and power of this jutsu are unprecedented."
Mei's expression turns grim as she senses the danger in the jutsu.
"Is there a way to counter this technique?" She clicks her tongue in frustration.
"Yes, if you have a jutsu, powerful enough to destroy the surrounding water vapors."
BOOM…
The internal pressure builds up, and the gigantic body explodes. A powerful burst of boiling water vapors quickly diffuses into the surroundings.
Fwoosh…
A red barrier envelops Mei's body and protects her from the explosion. She adjusts the surrounding temperature with her Boil release."
The high-temperature steam scalds several shinobis in the vicinity with third-degree burns.
Aaargh…
Most shinobis jump and roll around in pain while diving into the sea to relieve the pain.
"This steam will evaporate the entire water content within a person's body."
As if right on cue, the bodies of several shinobis rapidly shrivel up.
Tch…
Mei clicks her tongue and attempts to adjust the surrounding pH and temperature with her boil release.
"It's useless!"
Gengetsu shakes his head.
Gengetsu's Edo Body regenerates and prepares for round two.
Mei looks at her surroundings and grits her teeth.
"Looks like I am left with no choice!"
She removes the wrist guard around her left hand to reveal four small diamond mark tattoos in the shape of a rhombus.
"Release!"
Mei makes a ram hand sign. One of the diamond marks disappears.
Shoom…
Suddenly, a large amount of nature energy gathers from the surroundings and infuses into Mei's body.
Mei's chakra reserve rises rapidly and breaks through her chakra storage limit. A faint cyan glow flickers around Mei's body.
'I can't maintain this state for long.'
Mei grits her teeth and makes a series of hand signs.
Huh!
Gengetsu is surprised by the sudden outburst of chakra from Mei.
"What kind of technique is this? I thought she was out of juice."
"Sage Art: Lava Release Skyfall Burst,"
Mei claps her hands together.
Rumble… Rumble…
The surrounding patches of lava from earlier attacks slowly rise in the air. The pieces of molten rocks and debris combine together to form a house-sized volcanic rock.
"Explode!"
The volcanic rock falls on top of the giant body of Gengetsu and explodes.
BOOM…
A giant pillar of lava rises on the spot. Chunks of molten rocks and ashes fly around. The surrounding temperature rapidly rises to a few hundred degrees and evaporates the water in the area.
A giant crater appears at the point of impact. The entire crater is filled with lava, and the second Mizukage's charred and battered body slowly sinks into the lava.
The damage triggers the regeneration ability of his Edo Body. However, the constant damage from lava negates the regeneration.
"What a powerful jutsu!" Gengetsu nods in approval and slowly closes his eyes.
HAAH…
Mei tosses a sealing talisman toward him. The talisman sticks to his head and seals his body. Gengetsu's body slowly sinks to the surface of the lava pool.
"Solidify!"
Mei slams her palm on the ground once Gengetsu's body hits the bottom of the hole. The hot molten lava solidifies into igneous rock sediments.
Whew…
Mei heaves a sigh of relief. The cyan nature energy around her body disappears and exhaustion takes over.
She glances at the three diamond-shaped Senjutsu seals on her wrist and shakes her head.
Back when Izuna started to date her, he trained her chakra control and taught her several techniques.
After some training, Izuna figured out that Mei lacks talent for Senjutsu due to her mediocre chakra reserves. He didn't have an effective method to raise her chakra capacity since it could only be raised during the growth years of a shinobi.
So, after much research and with Tsunade's help, he developed this 'Senjutsu Seal'.
The 'Senjutsu Seal' allows someone to gain a temporary Sage Mode by storing a portion of nature energy in advance. After expanding the nature energy within the seal, it will take some time for it to recover the lost nature energy.
Mei takes out a chakra and stamina recovery pill and turns towards the battlefield on the other side.
Izumi and Mei reunite.
"Let's go!"
Both of them charge toward the batch of Kekkei Genkai users reincarnated by Kabuto.
With the sealing of the Second Mizukage, the mist around the area disappears, clearing the battlefield.
--------------------
On the other side of the battlefield,
BOOM…
The clash of the giant wood golem and fire demon releases a powerful shockwave.
RUMBLE…
Their clash topples the ground and creates a giant crater at the point of impact. Both golem locks hands with each other and engages in close-combat wrestling.
The Zetsu Tobi glares at Karin and makes a series of hand signs.
"Wood Release: Charging Lance,"
He extends his left palm towards Karin and fires a long, sturdy wooden stake.
Whoosh…
The wooden stakes fly toward Karin at an incredible speed.
Swish… swish…
Karin makes a series of quick hand signs. She grabs hold of her right wrist with her left hand and extends it toward the incoming stake. Several fuinjutsu runes flicker in the air around her hand.
Shoom…
As soon as the wooden stake touches her hand, it slowly disappears into her hand and vanishes.
"WHAT?!"
Tobi narrows his eyes as he stares at the Kanji symbol on her palm. The Kanji symbol for 'seal' slowly vanishes from her palm.
"She sealed my jutsu?!"
Karin also takes a step back on the Fire demon's shoulder due to the momentum of the jutsu. The dragon on the wooden golem's back opens its mouth and bites Karin.
BANG…
The fire demon frees one of its hands and smashes the dragon's head with his fist. It grabs the dragon's head and rips it apart into pieces.
The wooden golem also uses this opportunity and punches the torso of the fire golem demon with its fist. Its fist turns into a wooden stake and penetrates through the fire demon's stomach.
Shuah…
Several wooden spikes eject out of the wooden stake and pierce through the inner body of the fire demon.
GRAARR…
The fire demon releases a painful moan. Scarlet flames fiercely burn around its body and it punches the wooden golem with its fist.
BANG…
A wooden shield appears around the wooden golem and blocks the fist.
Swoosh…
The two golems jump back and separate from each other. Orange blood drips from the wound on the fire demon's body, while the entire hand of the wooden golem burns with scarlet flames. The wooden golem sacrifices its charred arm to prevent the scarlet flames from spreading further.
The demon and the golem glare and once again charge towards each other.
While on top of the golems,
Tobi glances at Karin's pale face and makes a series of hand signs.
"Then what about this?"
<Wood Release: Hundred Thrusting Spears>
His entire left-hand splits into a multitude of wooden spears and all of them fly towards Karin at a rapid pace.
Tch…
"Guess I will resort to this technique!" Karin clicks her tongue and claps her palm.
A multitude of adamantine chains erupts from her back and shred several wooden spears to pieces. The chains continue to fly toward the wooden golem and pierce through its legs and arms to hold it in place.
ROOAARR…
The fire demon unleashes another powerful roar and launches a barrage of its scarlet-burning fists.
Tobi jumps away from the top of the wooden golem to avoid the attack.
'I guess it's still a bit weaker than the original.'
He exclaims as he watches the combination of Karin and the fire demon rip apart the wooden golem to shred. A cloud of dust and debris rises from the continuous barrage of attacks.
