Roshi cursed, 'This is annoying. He has completely hidden his chakra just like in Kiri's assassination technique.'

Before he could do anything, Fujin appeared in front of him and slashed at his chest. Roshi punched the sword once again and managed to push Fujin away.

Fujin disappeared and a second later appeared behind him. Roshi turned around and stopped Fujin once again, forcing Fujin to disappear once again.

Roshi was expecting another attack from Fujin, but none came. Regardless, he stayed on guard. Seconds kept passing, but no attack came. After 30 seconds, Roshi had enough. Continuously maintaining full awareness while waiting for an attack was very taxing and increased the stress. He gathered a massive amount of chakra in his right hand once again and punched towards the ground. He intended to use the Flower-Fruit Mountain jutsu to clear up all the steam.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he stopped his punch. A vacuum bullet passed through the space where his fist would have been had he continued his attack. Quickly, he bent below before moving backwards. Two more Vacuum bullets passed through the space he would have been in had he not moved.

Roshi gathered chakra and shot a Fiery Rock Bullet from the direction the Vacuum Bullets were launched. Unfortunately, he didn't sense it hitting anything. Fujin stopped attacking once again.

Roshi thought, 'Shit, this is getting annoying. Though I'm confident I can keep dodging successfully, one mistake could cost me my life. But, since when did Konoha get the courage to kill a Jinchuriki in peacetime? Has their strength recovered to such an extent that they don't mind getting attacked by both Kumo and us at the same time?'

Though Roshi was stronger, Fujin had complete control of the battlefield. Unlike Roshi, whose attacks caused large-scale devastation, Fujin's attacks were always on point. They were all deadly and gave Roshi very little time to react and were quickly followed up by more attacks.

For the next minute, Roshi maintained full guard but wasn't attacked by Fujin even once. Finally, Roshi began building his chakra once again. However, he stopped midway and ducked down. A Vacuum Wave passed above him.

He immediately began rolling to his right and dodged 3 Vacuum Bullets and 1 Vacuum Wave. Soon after, he got off the ground and continued moving to his right as a Vacuum Wave landed on the ground. His eyes widened as another vacuum wave grazed past his left leg. He quickly jumped backwards, but a deep cut is left in his left leg, almost exposing his bone!

Before he could gather himself, he sensed movement behind him. He ignored the wound and turned around and threw a punch at the incoming sword. The fist and sword clashed once again. Roshi was surprised as Fujin didn't retreat. He was about to punch with his other fist, but his eyes widened and he quickly took a couple of steps behind.

He saw two Vacuum Bullets passing a few inches in front of him! His expression became grim as he realized, 'Shadow Clones!'

The Fujin in front of him moved forward and attacked him with his sword. At the same time, another Fujin appeared behind him and attacked his back. In addition, a few more Vacuum Bullets were fired at Roshi.

Realizing the grave risk he was in, Roshi dodged and shouted, "Enough!"

Suddenly, a massive amount of red chakra was released from his body. It covered his entire body. At the same time, it released several waves of pure chakra around him.

Fujin's clones were very close to him. Their eyes widened but they didn't have enough time to move. They immediately used the Iron Skin jutsu to protect themselves. The chakra wave hit them and sent them flying away in opposite directions.

The red waves also reached the real Fujin who was maintaining distance and attacking with Vacuum Bullets. He immediately flickered away while thinking, 'What the hell? He can use Son Goku's chakra to this extent without losing control? Or does he not care about losing control?'

The red chakra waves travelled for about 40 meters around Roshi. The steam covering the area was blown away and even more damage was done to the ground.

Without the steam cover, Roshi could see Fujin clearly. He looked at him and thought, 'That was close. With his shadow clones, the danger was amplified exponentially. If I keep dodging, it would only be a matter of time before I mess up. Anyways, now that he has forced me, it's time to end this.'

At the same time, Fujin also looked at Roshi. Shock could be seen in his eyes. He saw that the chakra covering Roshi had taken the shape of a red-furred and green-skinned monkey, looking exactly like the Four Tails, Son Goku. What shocked Fujin the most was that Roshi looked to be in complete control of himself. He stood calmly in the head of the chakra construct.

Fujin was dumbfounded. He thought, 'Impossible! I thought only Bee and the 4th Mizukage were perfect Jinchurikis! Why would I have fought him for so long otherwise?'

The sight scared Fujin. He immediately became very serious. He was about to make a move when he sensed some movements under his feet. He gathered chakra under his feet and jumped high in the sky. The ground transformed into small spikes which were launched at Fujin. Noticing the opportunity, Roshi shot a ball of lava at Fujin.

Fujin immediately slashed his sword towards the incoming spikes while looking at the ball of lava and analyzing, 'Such a gigantic ball of lava. My vacuum cannon might not stop it.'

One seal on his left bracer began glowing. One hundred explosive tags appeared in front of Fujin in a flash. Fujin controlled the winds and caused the explosive tags to fly towards the lava ball in 3 layers.

Roshi was surprised. Just before the lava ball was about to crash into the first layer of explosive tags, all hundred explosive tags blew up. The shockwaves from the explosions decreased the momentum of the lava ball until it came to a halt and began losing its shape. The lava fell down to the ground.

Immediately, Fujin focused his chakra field under the ground. He realized, 'Someone is hiding his chakra underground. Should be that Iwa Elite Jounin. Sigh, what a mess. I need to retreat.'

Fujin dispelled the two shadow clones on the ground to gain their chakra. Roshi looked at Fujin who was around a hundred meters in the air and muttered, "To jump airborne against a Jinchuriki who has displayed some control over his tailed beast. What a stupid move."

He began gathering chakra to end the fight but his eyes suddenly widened in shock. Multiple seals on each of Fujin's bracers lit up. Roshi watched in shock as he noticed more than 2000 Explosive tags appearing in the sky. The number was utterly ridiculous.

Roshi was speechless. He wondered, 'Was his real mission to destroy a city or something?'

In an instant, the wind began blowing. All the explosive tags moved towards the ground at a rapid speed!

Roshi didn't bother creating any defenses. He was confident that despite their high numbers, the tags won't cause any harm to him.

The chakra body of Son Goku opened its massive maw wide open. Concentrated chakra began gathering in a swirling vortex and pulsated with an overwhelming intensity.

Behind his mask, Fujin's expression became very grim. He controlled the explosive tags while weaving hand signs. As the explosive tags moved down, they spread over the entire battlefield and split into multiple waves. The first wave had 400 explosive tags, the second had 600, and the third had 1200 tags.

The explosive tags in the first wave landed on the ground. At the same time, the explosive tags in the second wave maneuvered in the air and surrounded the chakra body of Son Goku. Meanwhile, the third layer appeared on top of the tailed beast bomb. At the same time, it also blocked Fujin from Roshi's view.

While the explosive tags were moving, Fujin completed his hand signs.

'Summoning jutsu'

A cloud of smoke appeared under him. A figure appeared in it and arrogantly said, "The Great Winged Sabertooth Lord Goro is her"

However, his words were cut short. All the explosive tags exploded at the same moment! In an instant, the entire area was covered by a loud explosion sound. The intensity of the explosion made Goro look down in horror. At the same time, he sensed Son Goku's chakra and the fluctuations from the Tailed Beast Bomb. Every single hair on his body stood up! He muttered in shock, "Where the fuck did you summon me, Fujin?"
