Deidara's C3 No. 18 explosion collided with Roshi's volcanic magma, resulting in an extremely violent explosion, with magma splattering everywhere.

Deidara's clay bird, carrying Sasori, quickly ascended before the explosion, but the splattering magma still hit the clay bird, causing the two to fall from the sky.

Deidara looked at the magma on the ground, his expression changing: "Oh no!"

If they fell to the ground like this, the scalding magma would take their lives.

And he had run out of clay.

However, fortunately, Sasori was there, and he used the Third Kazekage to manipulate sand iron, supporting the two of them.

Floating in mid-air, the two searched for Roshi's whereabouts.

Soon, Sasori and Deidara pinpointed Roshi's location.

Deidara frowned tightly: "Tsk, he's still fine after that? There's nothing we can do, I'm out of clay, and it looks like Sasori you can't take him down either, let's retreat first."

Roshi, immersed in the magma, slowly rose from it.

Sasori turned his head to one direction: "No need, don't we still have a teammate?"

Roshi opened his mouth, preparing to condense a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Suddenly, Roshi's four tails were pierced and pinned to the ground by chakra rods.

Because his Chakra was interfered with by the chakra rods, Roshi's Tailed Beast Bomb immediately dispersed.

The next moment, Jigen appeared in front of Roshi and punched him in the chin.

Roshi was sent flying into the air by the punch.

Before Roshi could land, Jigen instantly appeared above the falling Roshi, kicking him in the chest, and Roshi plunged headfirst into the magma.

Jigen stood on a rock above the magma, looking expressionlessly at Roshi in the magma.

Deidara looked at Jigen in surprise: "I haven't seen him fight much, but he seems pretty strong."

Sasori looked down at Jigen and said: "His strength is not just that; now that he has made his move, the Jinchūriki is already as good as ours."

Deidara turned to Sasori in surprise: "Did you see him fight? Is he even stronger than me?"

Sasori ignored Deidara and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Roshi, in the magma, pulled out the chakra rods stuck in his tails and directly entered his complete Tailed Beast form.

Four-Tails roared towards the sky, and a Tailed Beast Bomb once again gathered in his mouth, aimed at Jigen below.

Sasori, to prevent accidental injury to himself and Deidara from the fight between Jigen and the Jinchūriki, manipulated the Third Kazekage's sand iron to increase their altitude.

Jigen opened his palm towards Four-Tails, using Sukunahikona to instantly enlarge dozens of tiny, invisible chakra rods, piercing them into the Tailed Beast Bomb.

The Tailed Beast Bomb's Chakra instantly became extremely unstable, exploding directly in Four-Tails's mouth, blowing a hole in Four-Tails's mouth.

Four-Tails roared in anger, slamming his hands on the ground, causing a large amount of magma to gush out from underground, rushing towards Jigen.

While dodging, Jigen put two fingers together.

"Daikokuten."

A giant black cube appeared out of thin air.

This was a giant cube that Jigen stored in a different dimension, also called Daikokuten, possessing overwhelming weight and the ability to hinder enemy perception.

Jigen released Daikokuten through Daikokuten.

Daikokuten pressed heavily onto Four-Tails's body.

Four-Tails was directly crushed to the ground, unable to move.

Jigen leaped onto Four-Tails's head.

No matter how Four-Tails struggled, he couldn't break free from this black cube.

Jigen placed his hand on Four-Tails's head, absorbing the Tailed Beast Chakra through Karma, and soon Four-Tails regressed into Roshi's form.

Deidara in the air was dumbfounded: "Jigen took down the Jinchūriki that you and I couldn't take down so easily?"

"I told you, once he makes his move, the Jinchūriki is as good as ours. It's over, we can go down now."

Jigen retracted Daikokuten and inserted chakra rods all over the unconscious Roshi's body, preventing Roshi from gathering Chakra.

Chiba, seeing that the battle had ended, fell into contemplation.

This time, Chiba discovered another weakness of Jigen.

After Four-Tails smashed the ground and a large amount of magma gushed out from underground, there was a small hole burned into Jigen's clothes by the magma.

Chiba put himself in Jigen's shoes; if he were Jigen, in that situation, he would definitely choose to absorb the magma.

However, Jigen did not do so. The reason he didn't was either because Jigen thought it was unnecessary to absorb it, or because Jigen couldn't absorb it.

And Chiba judged that Jigen couldn't absorb it.

This magma was natural magma, not magma created by Chakra.

For example, Earth Style Ninjutsu performed with Chakra would be absorbed by Jigen, but Earth Style Ninjutsu using the ground's own earth would not be absorbed.

In other words, Jigen could only absorb Ninjutsu created by Chakra.

Jigen, Deidara, and Sasori had already left with Roshi.

The system's voice echoed in Chiba's ear.

【Host witnessed the Akatsuki capture the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, rewarding 5,000 Witness Points.】

Because Chiba did not intervene, there was only a basic reward, no extra reward.

【Host witnessed Uzumaki Aonagi activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, rewarding 25,000 Witness Points.】

Chiba was a bit surprised that his son activating the Mangekyō Sharingan would result in such a large Witness Point reward.

But then, Chiba's brows furrowed tightly.

A basic Witness Point reward of 25,000 points could already be considered a reward for a major event.

This meant that Uzumaki Aonagi was also a central figure in a major event, which was why he received so many basic Witness Points.

So, gaining these Witness Points was not a good thing for Chiba.

With things concluded here, Chiba also used Kamui to enter his own alternate dimension.

Inside the alternate dimension.

Kimimaro's injuries had recovered, and Uzumaki Aonagi was letting Jugo bite his arm.

As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Uzumaki Aonagi possessed the ability of physical healing; by biting his own skin, he could quickly restore others' Chakra and injuries.

Uzumaki Aonagi, seeing Chiba arrive, hastily asked: "Dad, how did you appear there? Also, what is this place?"

Chiba replied: "Firstly, this is inside my eye technique's alternate dimension. Secondly, I've been here the whole time."

Uzumaki Aonagi said, puzzled: "Been here the whole time? Does that mean, when we fought the Akatsuki, Dad, you were watching from the start?"

Chiba nodded: "That's right."

Uzumaki Aonagi complained: "Why? Dad, we almost got wiped out just now! Since you were here, you should have come out and helped earlier! I was really scared just now!"

Chiba sternly reprimanded him: "This path is one you chose yourself. This time, you could say I just happened to come here. What if I hadn't come?

If you choose to leave the village and venture out, then you must bear the corresponding risks. You are not only responsible for yourself, but also for Kimimaro and Jugo, who trust you and accompany you on your journey!

And you? Have you done that? Do you think you can walk sideways in this Shinobi World? You lack the necessary vigilance, and you chose to directly engage the enemy head-on without any precautions. That's just reckless!"

Uzumaki Aonagi glanced at the disheveled Kimimaro and Jugo, lowered his head, bit his lip, and felt extremely guilty.
