Chapter Four

To think he would realise that this wasn’t a dream while he was in this situation.

Neville cursed himself a thousand times for provoking this ferocious beast for no reason. Why did he suddenly try to be some brave warrior?!

But now was not the time to be feeling regretful. Right now, he had to focus on the dangerous beast that was approaching him.

His right arm was injured. But he could still move it around for now.

Even if this monster was quite formidable, Neville still had full confidence that he could kill it.

That was because he had the Rinnegan!

He clasped his hands together.

“Bansho Ten’in!”

Four tall trees nearby were suddenly uprooted. Then the trees came flying towards the black lion at a very high speed. They came from all sides making it impossible for the black lion to avoid them.

But when those trees were about to slam against the black lion, it roared and suddenly a spherical violet shield covered its entire body. The trees crashed fiercely against the violet shield which protected the black lion.

The violet shield did not even budge much less break apart against the violent attack of the four high impact trees. It stayed calm and strong, protecting the black lion.

Neville was furious. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Immediately he clasped his hands together again and this time ten trees came hurling towards the black lion.

But the result was the same. They were unable to break the violet shield’s defense.

However, Neville did not give up. He kept sending more and more trees flying towards the black lion. Soon, more than a hundred trees had been used by Neville in his onslaught against the black lion and the surrounding area now looked barren, with fallen trees lying around everywhere. Neville had caused a large scale of deforestation all by himself.

But the effort was in vain. The collision force from the numerous trees did not seem the black lion’s violet shield in the slightest. What made Neville very angry was the fact that the violet shield of the black lion could seemingly absorb the force of impact of whatever hit it.

The black lion had not moved an inch from its spot all this time. It stood proudly like a king, looking at Neville with its chilling red eyes.

But Neville wasn’t scared one bit. Instead he felt even angrier.

Apparently this foolish beast actually thinks it’s stronger than me, Neville, who possesses the great Rinnegan!

Neville threw his left hand out. Along with a screeching sound, a powerful repulsive force burst out from his hand.

“Shinra Tensei!”

The strong repulsive force went towards the direction of the black lion and went through its position like a tide. Under the power of the repulsive force, the violet shield lasted for a moment before it dimmed and disappeared into nothing. The black lion no longer had the protection of the violet shield and was sent flying several meters away, landing on the ground with a huge impact.

“Ha ha ha!” Neville laughed like a madman. “Although your shield was quite impressive, nothing can stop my Shinra Tensei! This is the power of the Rinnegan! You are nothing before it!”

Indeed, no techniques could work against Shinra Tensei. No matter what type of attack it was, it would be rendered useless before the power of Shinra Tensei.

Originally, Neville did not wish to use Shinra Tensei against the black lion in the beginning. He felt it was not worthy for him to use his Rinnegan’s most revered technique.

However, it seemed that this beast indeed had the qualifications for him to use Shinra Tensei.

As Neville was laughing maniacally, the black lion slowly stood up. It gave a furious roar towards Neville with bloodthirsty eyes. No doubt it was infuriated at the previous attack.

Opening its mouth wide, it once again shot a violet energy beam. It looked bigger and more powerful than the last time.

But it was useless.

“Shinra Tensei!”

And just like that the violet beam was pushed away by Shinra Tensei. The energy in the beam was scattered away in different directions and soon disappeared.

Neville smiled provocatively at the black lion.

What can you do?

It seemed the black lion could somehow understand Neville’s expression of disdain. Now it was raging with anger.

“Roooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!”

A powerful aura burst out from the black lion’s body. The ground under its feet cracked and several strands of violet energy covered its entire body.

Neville carefully observed the black lion. With his Rinnegan, he could see that it was gathering up all its energy. He could even feel a bit of pressure coming from the black lion. So, he decided to be prepared for anything.

However, he wasn’t too worried. He was confident in his powers.

Then suddenly, with a loud roar the black lion bolted towards Neville at a frightening speed.

Neville was stunned. Before he knew it, the black lion was right in front of him and about to pounce on him!

Immediately Neville reacted.

“Shinra Tensei!”

The powerful repulsive force burst out from Neville’s body towards his surroundings.

But something shocking happened!

The black lion actually withstood the powerful force of Shinra Tensei!

Although its body had been immobilized, it had not been pushed away like Neville had expected. Instead, it stayed just a short distance away from Neville.

And the most outrageous thing to Neville was that the black lion’s claw was still moving towards him very, very slowly.

What the fuck?!

This guy can actually withstand Shinra Tensei?!

Doesn’t that mean its power is at least Nine-Tails level?!

Neville once again cursed his damn luck. He had just been transported to another world and he had already met a Tailed Beast level monster.

He cursed himself even more for purposefully provoking such a beast for no reason other than satisfying his ego.

But it was too late to feel any regret when they had reached this stage of the battle. He had to kill the black lion or be killed himself!

Due to the black lion’s resistance to Shinra Tensei, it resulted in Neville being hit by the force of his own technique which sent him flying back several meters high into the sky. Then he began falling.

“Kuchiyose no Jutsu!”

*poof*

A giant bird with a rough and jagged beak and three legs suddenly appeared in the air right below Neville. He landed on its back.

Neville had summoned the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird to prevent himself from falling onto the ground and breaking all his weak bones.

He looked below and found that the black lion had also been pushed back a few several meters away. The distance between them was a bit large currently.

But knowing the speed of the black lion, it wouldn’t be long before it caught up to him.

“I have to defeat it in one go.” Neville told himself.

“Looks like I have no choice but to use that technique.” Neville decided. “However, that technique requires a small amount of time and I cannot be interrupted while I’m using it. So...”

“Kuchiyose no Jutsu!”

*poof*

*poof*

*poof*

*poof*

*poof*

*poof*

A heavy amount of white smoke filled the area. When it finally cleared away, six monstrous figures could be seen.

A giant dog with multiple heads, a giant chameleon with a whose tail was actually a snake, a giant ox, a giant panda, a giant crustacean and a giant centipede appeared out of nowhere.

They were the Animal Path’s summons. Along with the Giant Rhino he had summoned at first and the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird he had recently summoned, he had now summoned all of the Animal Path’s creatures.

“Go. Attack and protect me.” Neville commanded all the giant creatures except the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird he was standing on. The giant bird would help him in performing his technique.

With loud roars, the summoned beasts rushed towards the black lion. Although Neville knew the black lion was more powerful than any of them, he believed that with their numbers they could delay it long enough for him to finish his technique.

The Giant Drill-Beaked Bird turned around and flew towards the opposite direction on Neville’s command. He needed to put as much distance as he could between the black lion and himself.

Closing his eyes, he placed his hands vertically upwards, his palms facing each other with a small gap in between. Neville concentrated hard.

A small white sphere formed in the gap between his palms. The white sphere gradually turned black in colour. Opening his eyes Neville held the small black sphere in his left palm. Then, he lifted his palm up. The black sphere flew up high into the sky. It flew higher and higher until it reached a thousand meters in the sky where it finally stopped.

Neville made the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird stop flying. Then, he turned towards the direction of the black lion, who was currently fighting against the summoned beasts.

Then, he clapped his hands together.

“Chibaku Tensei.”
