---------------------
Hanabi and Yakumo close their eyes in despair as Shinnō punches towards them.
"NO! Shinnō Sensei, you can't!"
Amaru yells at him.
Swoosh… swoosh…
Multiple dark purple chains rise from her body and bind Shinnō. The chains kill his momentum and hold him at a place.
"Huh?!"
Yakumo and Hanabi open their eyes and notice Shinnō struggling in front of them. They turn towards Amaru with a shocked expression.
"Amaru! You?!"
"No, sensei! I won't allow you to harm anyone. You are such a kind and gentle soul. How can you even think about killing other people? This is not the real you. I will fix you soon!"
Shoom… Shoom…
More chains rise from her body and wrap around Shinnō.
Hmph…
Shinnō riles up his chakra and pulls his arms and snaps the chains wrapped around it.
Swoosh…
More chains appear and retie his hands.
"So, you have awakened your troublesome suppressed bloodline!"
Shinnō scoffs at her.
"These chains are said to be strong enough to hold down even a tailed beast but…"
Snap…
Shinnō draws more dark chakra from his throne. His muscles swell up as his physical strength is pushed to the limit.
"It won't be able to hold me back since I have already surpassed that limit."
Snap… Snap…
The chains around him shatter and Shinnō frees himself.
"S… sensei!"
Amaru loses consciousness due to the over-exertion of her chakra.
Shoom…
Shinnō gathers a large amount of chakra in his right hand as he performs his version of Rasengan.
"I should have killed you back then to lessen my troubles. But now it doesn't matter anymore!"
Shoom…
He releases the mass of dark chakra towards Amaru.
"Amaru-chan!!"
Swoosh… Boom…
Another ball of crackling blue energy appears out of nowhere and collides with the dark ball of chakra.
BOOM…
Both energy balls explode and disperse in a brilliant display of sparkles.
AWOOH…
A wolf's howls rings in their ears as Roen walks out of the other end of the hallway.
"Master was right to send him here. If I was late even by a moment, then this red-hair girl would have died."
Roen slowly walks in front of the girls. He turns towards Ayaka, who had lost consciousness.
Swoosh…
Roen presses his paw on her forehead and releases some Healing chakra.
"Medical Ninjutsu!!"
The girls recognize the healing chakra.
"Roen you can use medical ninjutsu, so amazing?!"
The girls have stars in their eyes as the fear in their recedes completely.
The presence of Roen assures them that their Sensei is nearby, so they don't have to worry anymore.
"Of course! I have picked up a few tricks under Master's guidance." Roen turns towards a stunned Shinnō.
"You girls would be fine even if this mongrel attacked you, but this red-haired girl would have died!" He points out.
"Really?!"
Yakumo and Hanabi doubtfully stare at Roen.
Roen points towards the bracelet around the girl's wrist.
"The bracelet master gave you isn't just a storage tool; it also has a very powerful barrier formation inscribed on it. It will activate whenever your life is in danger." He assures them.
"I am not buying that!" Yakumo shakes her head.
"If it activates when our life was in danger, then why didn't it activate now when we are about to die under his attack." She argues with him.
"Yes, I agree with Yakumo." Hanabi also nods her head.
"It didn't activate because I deactivated it."
Roen points towards the collar around his neck.
"This works in a similar fashion to your bracelet. All of them are connected with each other with a seal. So, if you know the sealing formula, you can deactivate it. With me here, there was no need for the barrier!"
Shinnō gnashes his teeth. He stares at Roen with anger and resentment.
"A puny summon thinks that he can deal with me when my powers are even greater than the tail-beasts. Haha…"
Shinnō mockingly laughs at the small size of Roen.
Shoom…
He riles up his chakra and extends both of his palms in front of his chest.
Fwoosh…
A large amount of dark chakra gathers in between his hands. He compresses the dark chakra into an orb and aims it for the girls.
"That previous time must have been a fluke. I won't miss this time!"
Roen turn to the girls and gestures towards them.
"You kids, hide behind that pillar. You are a part of my lupical, I can't allow the young cubs like you to get hurt when I am about to go all out."
"Alright!"
Yakumo and Hanabi nods and pick up an unconscious Ayaka and Amaru.
Shoom…
Dark blue flames light up on Roen's tail as it splits in two.
Whoosh…
One of the flames flies towards the girl and forms a transparent blue barrier around them. After assuring their safety, Roen ferociously turns towards Shinnō.
Grrr…
Roen's eyes turn red as his body slowly expands.
Awooo…
He howls in fury and reveals his fangs and claws.
"You mongrel, you dare harm the dearest lupical of mine."
Roen turns towards Ayaka, who is slowly waking up. Memories of Ayaka's childhood flash through his mind as she used to play with him.
"I lost my only lupical when I was a cub and now when I finally found my lupical you dare harm her. You will pay for this audacity!"
Roen opens his mouth and gathers a large amount of Negative chakra from the surroundings.
He condenses a large amount of negative chakra into a blue ball and fires towards Shinnō's incoming attack in the form of a beam.
BOOM…
Both jutsu collide with each other as a gigantic explosion occurs at the center of the hallway. The explosion blows away multiple layers of the floor to reveal various chakra circuits running across it. They are held in a deadlock, as none of them can overpower each other.
Haha…
Shinnō laughs as he notices the deadlock.
"Even as a summoned beast, you have some skills, but this is not the limit of my power. With Reibi's chakra, I have unlimited power."
Shoom…
He draws more dark chakra through the throne and infuses it into the technique.
Shinnō's technique overpowers Roen's energy beam and slowly pushes it back.
"It's good you can put a fight or else I won't be able to execute you properly."
Roen grins at him.
Shoom… Shoom… Shoom…
Five blue magatama flames light up around his neck.
Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…
They merge with the energy beam and empower it.
BOOM…
The energy beam instantly obliterates Shinnō's jutsu and smashes in him.
"NO! How… how is this possible?!"
Shinnō has an incredulous expression on his face. He is nailed to the wall as the energy beam destroys the surrounding wall.
Sizzle… sizzle…
White smoke rises from Shinnō's body and heals his body. He slowly stands up and smirks at Roen.
"As long as I have access to Reibi's chakra, I…"
Swish…
Roen infuses the negative blue flames in his claws and swipes them at Shinnō.
Slash…
He slashes a major portion of Shinnō's front body, leaving behind a gigantic gash around his chest and abdomen.
Spurt…
A large amount of blood leaks from the gash. Shinnō grabs his chest and falls into his pool of blood.
Swish…
Roen wipes his claws and stares at Shinnō with a savage expression as his suppressed inner bestial nature erupts.
"Now that's what I like to see when my prey won't die easily. This way I can toy with them however I like."
Black fumes rise from the bloody gash as it negates Shinnō's healing technique.
"My earlier attack was infused with a large amount of corrosive negative chakra. It can negate most regeneration techniques. I am surprised you can still heal after that!"
Roen curiously stares at Shinnō.
"Let me see how long will you last!"
"Damn you beast!" Shinnō growl in anger as he gives up on defense and healing.
"I will take you down first, then I will enough opportunity to heal myself!"
At the side-lines,
Yakumo and Hanabi stare at the battle with amazement.
"Wow! Roen is so amazing. He is so powerful!"
"Of course! He is the summon of the most powerful shinobi."
Yakumo nods her head.
----------------
Back at the battle between Izuna and ten-tails,
Izuna raises his head and stares at the ceiling.
"Looks like Roen handled everything perfectly. But I can't break this final barrier around Zero-tails without him."
Izuna stretches his right hand.
Shoom…
He gathers a large amount of wind, fire, and lightning chakra.
"Sunder Release: Valkyrie Execution"
He compresses the chakra into a spear and aims it towards the ceiling.
"Since a kid learns from his father, then a father can do the same!"
Swoosh…
He releases the spear towards the ceiling of the closed chamber.
BOOM…
The spear slams into the ceiling. It pierces through the various runes carved on the walls and explodes.
Rumble…
The ceiling collapses from the impact of the jutsu.

---------------------
Rumble…
The ceiling collapses from the impact of the jutsu.
"What the…"
Shinnō, who is preparing a powerful dark jutsu to get rid of Roen and the girls, is taken by surprise by the sudden collapse of the ground.
Rumble… Rumble…
The floor beneath them crumbles, revealing a dark gloomy abyss. Shinnō jumps on the falling debris to slow down his descent.
AHHH…
The girls also free falls towards the lower floor of the temple.
Swoosh… Whoosh…
Roen turns into his shadow form and supports them on his back. He swiftly jumps towards the various falling debris and descends lower.
Swish…
Izuna waves his hand and creates a barrier around himself to avoid the falling debris.
Crack… crack…
Multiple cracks appear on the barrier around Zero-tails.
Shoom…
The ruins and Fuinjutsu seal around the Reibi glow brightly as it absorbs the dark chakra from the surroundings and repair the barrier.
Tch…
Izuna clicks his tongue.
"Pesky cockroach!"
Swoosh…
Roen lands beside him with the girls in his town.
"Oh! You are finally here, Roen."
Izuna nods.
"I need your help. I want you to cut off the connection of this beast with the dark chakra. It's absorbing the negative emotions of the surrounding people. This entire temple acts as a giant conductor to channel the negative chakra towards him. I am pretty sure there are multiple people locked in this temple who act as batteries for Reibi.
Since you also possess the ability to channel the dark and negative chakra, I want you to contest control over the negative chakra while I cut the supply from the main node."
Izuna issues a command to Roen.
"Yes, master!"
Roen nods and walks towards the giant cocoon of Reibi. He extends his claws and slams them into the ground.
Bzzt…
A large amount of dark purple chakra flows through Roen's body, turning his fur purple and his eyes a darker shade of red.
Awooo…
Roen howls in agony as numerous negative emotions flow through his mind. The aura of Roen changes and it reminds Izuna of the time when they first met with each other.
"Are you okay, Roen?" He asks with worry.
"I am fine for now, master! I can still hold for another ten minutes."
"Good!"
Izuna nods and makes some hand signs. He extends his right hand in front of his forehead and makes a one-hand Ram seal.
"Kokoro No Me"
A giant vertical dark purple eye opens in the mindscape of Izuna. The eyes appear beside the various elemental orbs floating in his mindscape.
Izuna feels like his consciousness has left his body and transcended a higher state of existence as he gazes at the entire place, including his body, from a third-person perspective.
He tries to sense his body, but everything points towards his body, which is closing its eyes on the ground.
"What a strange technique?"
Izuna gives up on trying to sense his existence.
This is one of the techniques which appeared in the Sin Grimoire recently.
'The existence of Sin Seal itself is an anomaly. Much less the technique associated with it.'
He shakes his head and focuses his attention on the surrounding area. The entire world appears in a shade of gray as a detailed map of the entire area appears in his mind. His senses easily bypass various barriers and other restrictions meant to counter the abilities of powerful Dojutsu.
Soon, Izuna's consciousness leaves the scope of the Ancor Vantian and stares at everything from the atmosphere of the planet.
Huh?!
Izuna is shocked to see a glowing red aura around the entire planet as a beam of red energy shoots towards the sky from a distant place. There is a huge rift in the sky which appears like a scar on the planet's surface.
Chills run down Izuna's spine as he feels a threatening energy signature from the rift. He turns down and notices Ancor Vantian emitting a similar dark red color chakra towards the sky.
'This flying fortress is a beacon which sends a signal to that rift to guide something to this planet.'
Izuna concludes.
--------------
Meanwhile,
As Izuna is lost in his technique to search for the core of the temple; Shinnō lands on the ground and notices Izuna and the rest of the group.
"This place… How did they find it?"
He notices Roen interrupting the flow of the dark chakra.
"Argh… you beast! Stop what you are doing right now!"
He dashes towards Roen with mad anger.
BOOM…
A shield of dark chakra blocks his attack.
Grrr…
Roen towards him with his dark red eyes and giant glowing purple fur.
Swish…
He slashes his claw and sends Shinnō flying.
BOOM…
Shinnō slams into a nearby wall as he blocks the attack with his arms.
Sizzle… sizzle…
The gash on his arms heals slowly. He turns towards the girls, who are hiding behind Izuna.
"This man… he must be the mastermind who ruined my plan!"
Shinnō gnashes his teeth and lunges towards an open Akio.
"Die!"
Shinnō gathers a massive surge of dark chakra in his arms and forms a giant purple orb with three rings around it.
"Super Shadow Revival Fist"
He slams it towards Izuna's head.
"Nii-san! Watch out!"
Ayaka screams at the top of her lungs to warn him.
Swoosh…
Izuna's consciousness returns to his body as time slows down around him.
Swoosh…
His right eye changes into Mangekyo Sharingan. Akio slowly opens his eyes and gazes at Shinnō's incoming attack with a cold expression.
"You had your share of fun toying with my students and imouto. Now, it's my turn to return the favor."
Cyan color chakra shrouds Izuna's arm. He clenches his fist and punches the attack of Shinnō.
BOOM…
Everything happens so fast that Shinnō is unable to react to Izuna's sudden punch. Izuna's punch blows the dark red orb of dark chakra as it lands straight on his chest.
Crack…
Shinnō's spinal cord shatters with the punch as the latter is sent flying towards another wall. He firmly lodges in the wall and creates a crater in it.
Argh…
He pukes a mouthful of blood and slowly slides onto the ground. There is a fist-sized dent in his chest.
Bleurgh…
He pukes out another mouthful of blood and stares at Izuna with disbelief.
"How are you so powerful? I have already reached the peak of humanity with all eight gates open. How can you still survive an attack from me and even wound me to this extent with just a single punch?"
"Peak of humanity?!"
Izuna shakes his head.
"Your technique is flawed. Your grasp of eight gates is flawed. Your circulation of chakra is flawed and even your use of your chakra is flawed. You don't even have a proper technique to use that powerful strength granted by the opening of all gates. And you boast that you have reached the peak of humanity? I already someone who can use Eight gates to its full extent with a heart of resolve."
A figure of Guy flashes in Izuna's mind. He shakes his head and turns to Roen, who is struggling to contain all the dark chakra and negative emotions.
"Just hold on for a little longer! I have found the core of this Fuinjutsu formation."
Izuna slowly floats up and flies towards a wall.
Bang…
He shatters a hole in the wall and flies deeper into the temple.
"Damn you! How can you leave like that after ridiculing my lifelong dream and hard work?"
Shinnō clenches his fist and channels the dark chakra through his body.
Argh…
Dark red lightning flickers across his body. He pukes another mouthful of blood as his body shrivels and his hair turns gray.
His eye sockets turn hollow and his muscles deflate. Shinnō turns into a bag of bones as the side-effect of forcefully using the Eight Gates kicks in.
The previous attack from Izuna disrupted his flow of chakra, shattering the balance of dark chakra and the Eight Gate. However, the powerful energy of the dark chakra helped him survive the backlash, albeit at a cost.
"No!"
Shinnō slams his fists on the ground as he stares at his pathetic state.
"Why? Why? Why did this happen to me? I… I just wanted to avenge my country. I just… I just wanted to pay back for the injustice suffered by my people."
Shinnō wallows in sorrow as the girls silently stare at him.
"I feel sorry for him!"
Hanabi, who is the most emotional out of them remarks.
"Save your pity for someone else. He is not worth it!"
Ayaka shakes her head and points towards Amaru.
"He is paying for all the misdeeds he did in his life. This is his retribution, his karma!"
"Ayaka is right!" Yakumo shakes her head as she recalls her own life.
'Perhaps I would have followed a similar path if I didn't meet my team.'
ROAR…
The trio is startled by a sudden roar.
