Chp-111: Magnetic Release - Sky-Splitting Iron Mountain Giant Slash Zero

The terrifying blue flames, spreading like a mushroom cloud, consumed half of the battlefield.

Unfortunately, Stone Shinobi near the explosion were instantly turned to ash. Those a bit farther away, not killed immediately by the blast, found themselves engulfed by the eerie blue flames. Rolling on the ground, screaming in agony, they were unable to extinguish the relentless fire.

The burning temperature of hydrogen gas is around 2000 degrees Celsius, far exceeding conventional flames. When its concentration is between 4% and 75%, it explodes with considerable force. Hydrogen, with a relative molecular mass of 2, is the lightest gas. Struggling to extinguish the flames likely increased air turbulence, inadvertently raising the local hydrogen-oxygen concentration and causing the fire to burn even more fiercely.

Satoru couldn't help but click his tongue. To maximize hydrogen concentration, he ionized nearly all the water vapour. The explosion exhausted the most concentrated core area, but some had diffused out beforehand and hadn't been consumed.

Rescue? Not a chance. During the explosion, he had subtly directed the shockwave more towards the Stone Shinobi. Rescuing them would only invite trouble.

Squinting slightly, he looked towards the core of the explosion. He wondered if the Five-Tails could still remain unscathed after the hydrogen detonation.

As the smoke gradually cleared, the appearance of the Five-Tails was revealed. Its fur was completely gone. The once snow-white, silky fur was now a charred, bald mess. Lying on the ground, it was unclear if it was dead or alive. It resembling a plucked wild chicken roasted over charcoal for three days and nights, it was barely recognizable as a horse.

The Five-Tails opened its mouth to curse but fell limp after a spasm. How pitiful... Among the nine tailed beasts, the Five-Tails was one of the most visually striking, rare in identifying as female. How did it end up like this?

Satoru sighed, shedding crocodile tears. However, since tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra, they should be able to recover...

The Five-Tails' body gradually dematerialized, unable to maintain its full form, reverting to an unconscious Han. Almost simultaneously, a massive stone hand emerged from the ground, gripping Han's body and pulling him under.

"They're quick," Satoru noted, eyes glinting. Clearly, the Stone Shinobi had made many preparations to prevent their Jinchuriki from being captured.

Elsewhere, Kitsuchi pressed his right hand on the ground, a large stone hand emerging behind him, revealing the unconscious Han. "Take him back and notify the medical team for treatment." "Yes, sir." Standing up, Kitsuchi looked grim, staring at the distant figure. The other party noticed him, too, a pair of pure white eyes glancing over.

They had lost; their Jinchuriki was utterly incapacitated. Kitsuchi knew this battle was over. That damn magnetic release ninja of the Hyuga clan. Despite all the preparations made to counter him, it still wasn't enough. Kitsuchi gritted his teeth in frustration. "Retreat!" The Stone Shinobi, still fighting, heard the command and withdrew like a receding tide.

The Leaf Shinobi left on the battlefield, seeing this, gradually relaxed, exhaling in relief. They had won. Finally, they had won. Since the start of the war with the Stone Shinobi, due to strategic deployment differences, they had often lost. But this time, the victory was swift and decisive, even capturing the Five-Tails...

Subconsciously, they looked up at the figure and the towering metal Gundam beside him. At this moment, Satoru's prestige reached its peak, not only because of his strength but also the mysterious allure of the metal Gundam.

Many wondered silently, what was that metal monster? Was it a type of puppet technique? It was astonishing! Did it have a name?

With a swoosh, Minato appeared beside Satoru, his voice full of excitement. "Satoru! Does it have a name? Does it have a name?"

Satoru initially intended to casually name it something like "Gundam Freedom Wind Danger Jaeger End" to shut Minato up. But recalling the overly long name of the Armstrong Cannon that had spread throughout the camp, he thought better of it. Rolling his eyes at Minato, he turned to leave, snapping his fingers behind him. The Jaeger disintegrated into countless metal particles, sinking into the ground.

"No name?" Minato pondered for a moment, then suddenly brightened, punching his left palm with his right fist in realization. "Got it! A body of metal was as sturdy as a mountain, seemingly able to split the sky. Power beyond a tailed beast, cold and unyielding... I'll call it... Magnetic Release: Sky-Splitting Iron Mountain Giant Slash Zero!" He turned around, "Satoru, what do you think of the name?"

But Satoru was already gone, leaving Minato talking to himself. "Ah! Satoru, why did you leave? You didn't tell me if you liked the name." He wanted to chase after Satoru.

Magnetic Release: Sky-Splitting... Such a long name! Is that really what the metal giant is called? The surrounding Leaf Shinobi, seeing this, wore peculiar expressions. The dream of piloting a Gundam seemed to take on a different flavour.

"Monster..." After a long silence, Jiraiya exhaled. Satoru's performance was astonishing. He had thought Minato, his disciple, was already quite monstrous. But the younger Satoru was an even more giant monster.

"No wonder Orochimaru speaks of Satoru as if he's found a treasure."

"Troublesome! Being surpassed by the younger generation, my title as one of the Sannin seems hollow," lamented Jiraya, scratching his head. The younger ninjas were becoming more competitive. It was only a matter of time before Minato surpassed him, but now, there was an even more terrifying Satoru.

Satoru noticed Shibi Aburame smiling at him. "Shibi-sensei, are you alright?" he walked over. "I didn't expect my student to worry about me," Shibi laughed, though his eyes dimmed slightly, sighing. You've already surpassed your sensei."

He knew his student was exceptional but never imagined this exceptional. During the Sand Shinobi War, he had other tasks and didn't participate, so his understanding of Satoru was limited to rumors. Now, witnessing Satoru's strength firsthand on the Stone Shinobi battlefield, he realized just how far Satoru had come.

He even saw shadows of two legendary figures in Satoru: Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who ended the Warring States period and established the one country, one village system. Though Satoru was still young, it wasn't hard to imagine the terrifying potential once he fully matured.
