Chapter 191 Conflict breaks out

"Hmph, Ohnoki. That's easy for you to say. I guess Han is still staying in that place now." Lao Zi narrowed his eyes, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. There was resentment towards Ohnoki, but also seemed to be hidden in his worries about Han.

When Ohnoki heard Han's name, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Lao Zi, Han's matter has nothing to do with your current behavior. Don't try to use him to distract me."

Naruto's heart moved, he knew that there must be more things involved. He looked at Kurotsuchi, hoping to get some clues from her, but Kurotsuchi also looked confused and shook her head.

Old Zi laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm. "Tsuchikage-sama, you really are good at deceiving yourself. Han and I are both Jinchūriki persecuted by you. Do you think you can rest easy by imprisoning him in that dark place?"

Ohnoki's face turned gloomy. "Old Shizu, don't spit blood at me. Han had to do this to control the power of the tailed beasts and protect the village. All this is for the benefit of the Land of Earth."

"Benefits?" Lao Zi roared, "Then the lives and dignity of us Jinchūriki are not interests? Do we deserve to be treated as tools and manipulated by you at will?" The aura of the tailed beast on his body surged wildly, as if it would break through the restraints of his body at any time.

Naruto saw that the situation was not good, and quickly stood between the two. "Calm down first! Arguing like this won't solve any problems. Ohnoki-senpai, Lao Zi, we can sit down and talk. There must be a way to properly resolve these conflicts."

Kurotsuchi also quickly agreed, "Yes, Grandpa, Lao Zi. We are all doing this for the good of the Land Kingdom. We can definitely find a compromise."

However, Lao Zi was already blinded by anger at this time. He pushed Naruto aside and rushed straight towards Ohnoki, "Today I will seek justice for our Jinchuriki!"

Naruto saw Lao Zi rushing towards Ohnoki, and he flashed and appeared in front of Lao Zi in an instant. He stretched out his hands to try to stop Lao Zi. "Lao Zi, calm down first, impulsiveness can't solve any problems!" Naruto shouted anxiously.

Lao Zi's eyes were full of anger, and he roared: "Boy, don't block my way! I must end it with him today." After that, the power of the tailed beast in his body suddenly increased, and a powerful force burst out from his body, shocking Naruto back a few steps.

Ohnoki's heart tightened when he saw Naruto being knocked back. He knew that Old Purple was now blinded by hatred, and with the blessing of the power of the tailed beast, his strength should not be underestimated. He quickly changed hand seals with both hands and chanted a complex ninjutsu spell, "Earth escape? Rock pillar prison!" The surrounding land quickly bulged, and several huge rock pillars rose from the ground and surrounded Old Purple.

Lao Zi was calm in the face of the surrounding rock pillars. He shouted loudly, and a layer of fiery red light appeared around his body. It was the tailed beast coat of the four-tailed beast. "Break it!" Lao Zi swung his fists fiercely, and the powerful force directly blasted the rock pillars close to him into pieces, and the gravel flew everywhere.

After Naruto stabilized his body, he rushed towards Lao Zi again. He knew that if he let them continue to fight like this, the area around the Tsuchikage office would probably be razed to the ground, and many innocent people would be implicated.

"Rasengan!" Naruto quickly condensed a blue Rasengan and rushed towards Lao Zi, trying to use this move to subdue Lao Zi and calm him down. Lao Zi sensed the attack from behind and turned to deal with it. He looked at the Rasengan in Naruto's hand, snorted disdainfully, and also stretched out his right fist, which was wrapped in rich tailed beast chakra, and blasted towards the Rasengan.

"Boom!" The two collided, generating a powerful impact force, and the surrounding air was buzzing. Lao Zi was shaken backwards by the reaction force, while Naruto remained motionless.

Kurotsuchi watched anxiously from the side, she knew she couldn't stand by and watch any longer. She formed seals with both hands, "Earth escape? Landslide!" On the small hill next to Tsuchikage's office, a large amount of earth and rocks slid down towards Lao Zi, trying to interfere with his actions.

Lao Zi looked up at the sliding earth and rocks, stomped his feet on the ground, and a shield formed by the chakra of the tailed beast appeared around him. The earth and rocks slid down and were bounced away when they hit the shield.

Ohnoki took this opportunity and instantly appeared above Lao Zi, forming seals with his hands, "Dust Release? Original Realm Separation Technique!" A beam of white light shot out from his hands and shot towards Lao Zi. This was Ohnoki's famous skill, with great power, capable of decomposing the target into atomic state.

Lao Zi felt the danger of this move, and his eyes became more solemn. He concentrated all the power of the tailed beast in his body in front of him, forming a thicker shield. The light of the Dust Release hit the shield, emitting a dazzling light, and the two were in a stalemate.

Although his shield was strong, cracks began to appear under the bombardment of so many attacks. Just when the shield was about to break, Lao Zi suddenly shouted and his body began to change. His body gradually expanded, his skin became as hard as rock, and a huge tail grew behind him, which was a sign that he began to transform into a tailed beast.

Ohnoki was secretly surprised when he saw Old Shisan transforming into a tailed beast. He knew that once Old Shisan fully transformed into a tailed beast, the situation would become even more difficult to control. He increased the power of his Dust Release, hoping to subdue Old Shisan before he could fully transform into a tailed beast.

However, Lao Zi's transformation into a tailed beast was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a half-human, half-beast form. He roared to the sky, his voice full of wild power. "Today is the day you die!" Lao Zi waved his huge fist and smashed it in the direction of Ohnoki.

Naruto looked at the powerful power of the old purple tail beast, and then the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Naruto's eyes. There was a mysterious and deep power in these eyes, as if hiding endless possibilities. Then he used the shaving, and his figure flashed like lightning, and he flashed to the side of the old purple in an instant.

Lao Zi noticed Naruto suddenly appearing beside him, and roared and swung his huge fist to hit Naruto. But Naruto was not in a hurry. At the critical moment, a layer of faint chakra light appeared around his body, and the whole person was like an illusory shadow, easily avoiding Lao Zi's attack.

"Old Zi, you are now blinded by hatred. If you continue like this, more innocent people will be hurt." Naruto tried to persuade Old Zi. There was a strange power in his voice, as if he wanted to penetrate Old Zi's heart filled with anger.
