Chapter 566: Don

Roshi perceived the chill coming from behind, put his hands together, and wrapped his whole body in a chakra Tailed Beast cloak. The four tails intended to block Su Xiao's slash.

Clang.

The dark red Tailed Beast cloak was instantly slashed open. Roshi, who had confidently turned his head to face Kisame, was full of astonishment.

Pfft.

Blood splattered. Su Xiao slashed across Roshi's spine, and a hideous knife wound appeared. One could vaguely see the pale spine in the wound.

Roshi is a sensory-type ninja, so he didn't perceive chakra in Su Xiao's body and only thought Su Xiao was good at swordsmanship. This cost Roshi a painful price.

Roshi's body leaned forward, and Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy merged into his body. He had a look of pain on his face.

Whoosh—

The sound of breaking wind came; it was Kisame waving Samehada and slashing at Roshi.

With a bang, Samehada smashed into Roshi's stomach. A large amount of chakra was absorbed by Samehada, and this ninja sword trembled with excitement, its volume clearly increasing.

"Oh? Actually making Samehada excited to this extent. It seems it likes your chakra very much."

With a rip, the bandages wrapped around Samehada's surface were pierced, revealing black thorns.

Roshi flew in mid-air, his hands instinctively performing hand seals.

"Lava Release..."

"Raven."

Roshi's ninjutsu hadn't been used yet, and Itachi not far away had already turned into a large group of crows.

"Genjutsu!"

The Four-Tails in Roshi's body immediately released a large amount of chakra, scattering the chakra structure in Roshi's body. This could make the genjutsu break on its own.

A Jinchuriki has a natural advantage, which is that they are not affected by most genjutsu. Of course, this is related to the strength of the genjutsu. If the genjutsu is too strong, even a Jinchuriki cannot break it.

Itachi's genjutsu clearly belongs to the very strong kind. Just when Roshi thought the genjutsu was broken, a large group of crows rushed toward him.

The real situation was not like this. There were no crows. Roshi stood still in the eyes of everyone, his hands in a hand seal shape.

If one looked closely at Itachi's eyes, one would find that Itachi's Sharingan was already in Mangekyo form.

Taking advantage of Itachi controlling Roshi for this moment, Su Xiao rushed forward, blue smoke rising on his left hand, and grabbed Roshi's back neck straight away.

Blue smoke filled the air, and a powerful suction appeared. Su Xiao ran the Devouring Core to the maximum.

Itachi and Kisame were still nearby, so the speed of absorbing Tailed Beast chakra had to be fast.

A large amount of Tailed Beast chakra surged into Su Xiao's body. Kisame and Itachi both witnessed this scene, but neither stopped him, because Samehada had also absorbed Tailed Beast chakra before.

"Who are you!!"

A roar that only Su Xiao could hear came; it was the Four-Tails' voice.

Su Xiao ignored this voice. Just as the Four-Tails wanted to roar again, a kind of blue smoke wrapped it inside.

The Four-Tails tried to struggle, but unfortunately, the blue smoke wrapped it, and it couldn't move at all.

The Tailed Beast chakra Su Xiao absorbed was stored in the energy ball near his heart. As soon as the Tailed Beast chakra entered the energy ball, it began to transform, turning into a colorless energy.

As soon as the colorless energy appeared in his body, the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body began to become active, almost instantly wrapping these colorless energies. After the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy devoured the colorless energy, it began to become stronger.

【Due to absorbing the energy transformed by the Devouring Core, Green Qing Qing Gang Ying level has increased.】

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 21.】

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 22.】

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 23.】

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 24.】

At this time, the Four-Tails in Roshi's body was wrapped in blue smoke, revealing only a head, with an expression of astonishment.

"I was actually absorbed of chakra by a human? No, this is absorbing my source power!"

The Four-Tails is different from the One-Tail. It didn't beg for mercy, just struggled hard, intending to break free from the shackles of the blue smoke.

Roshi's eyes suddenly widened. He broke free from Itachi's genjutsu, but he couldn't even speak now.

Roshi's strength is not weak, but that is relative. In the original work, Kisame fought Roshi alone, but now Roshi is facing a siege by three people.

Su Xiao is responsible for close-range suppression, Kisame is blocking Roshi's attacks from the front and using Water Style to restrain Roshi's Lava Release, and Itachi is looking for opportunities to use genjutsu on Roshi.

If it were near that magma lake in the center of the Great River Valley, Roshi might have been able to resist for a period, but he trusted his strength too much, thereby actively approaching the three of Su Xiao.

Long-term hard training led to Roshi not understanding the outside world. He didn't know about an organization like Akatsuki, and he didn't know much about the three of Su Xiao. He rarely encountered opponents in the Land of Earth, and over time, his confidence turned into arrogance.

Under the siege of the three of Su Xiao—close combat (Su Xiao), tank (Kisame), auxiliary and long-range firepower (Itachi)—Roshi was defeated before he could use his true strength.

If it were difficult for the three to join forces to deal with one Four-Tails Jinchuriki, that would be a fantasy.

A dozen seconds later, Su Xiao's eyes turned light blue. Karin, who was hiding on the side, hugged her shoulders with both hands, her body trembling slightly.

"What is this feeling? This is no longer something a human can do."

Karin whispered, and Su Xiao's light blue eyes suddenly looked at her.

"Delicious thing."

"Eh?"

Karin's throat went dry, her eyes showing horror.

Because of devouring a large amount of Tailed Beast chakra, a blue flame seemed to rise in Su Xiao's heart.

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 25.】

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 26.】

At this time, the Four-Tails' true body was already skinny, and the light in its eyes began to dim. It was going to die.

"Bai Ye, Bai Ye!"

Itachi shouted twice, his Mangekyo Sharingan staring at Su Xiao. He felt that Su Xiao was very dangerous now.

The blue light in Su Xiao's eyes gradually faded. He tried his best to suppress that greedy desire; he couldn't be driven by that desire.

A moment later, Su Xiao let go of Roshi, and Roshi fell to the ground with a thud.

A faint burnt smell came. Su Xiao, who had already recovered his clarity, looked at his left hand. The surface of the metal arm guard on his left hand was scorching red, and the hand inside the arm guard was severely burned, vaguely having lost sensation.

Roshi had used a defensive ninjutsu before, and the body surface temperature was relatively high. Su Xiao's hand was severely burned.

Although his hand was severely burned, he had a bountiful harvest. Green Qing Qing Gang Ying was upgraded by 6 levels. One must know that Green Qing Qing Gang Ying above Lv. 20 requires 10 Soul Crystals (Medium) + 5000 Paradise Coins per level.

Fortunately, there was the Devouring Core ability, otherwise, just upgrading Green Qing Qing Gang Ying and Blade Master would have made Su Xiao bankrupt.

A numbness came from his left hand. Su Xiao's eyebrows were tightly locked; this would affect his fighting.

Kisame walked up, and after confirming that Roshi couldn't resist, he used Samehada to pick up Roshi and carry him on his shoulder.

"The progress is very smooth, but the Jinchuriki is injured a bit heavily."

The knife wound on Roshi's back was shocking, and he was losing a lot of blood.

"With the Jinchuriki's vitality, this kind of injury won't kill him. Just give him a simple bandage."

While Kisame and Itachi were dealing with Roshi, Su Xiao walked toward Karin. His left hand was severely burned, and Karin happened to have healing abilities.

"It seems bringing you was the right choice."

Su Xiao approached Karin. Karin was already terrified of Su Xiao and was slowly retreating.

"You... what are you going to do?"

"Your chakra feels very special to me, maybe it can help me recover from my injuries."

Su Xiao raised his left arm. Karin remembered the scene where Roshi's chakra was lost in large quantities before.

"Don't 'eat me', just bite me." ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
