Meanwhile, in the land of Grass, the battle for Kannabi bridge was still underway. Han had transformed into the full version of the five tails, using all of his might to overwhelm the allied forces.
Shikaku, even given all of his tactical genius had been overwhelmed by the sheer power that Han possessed.
Thankfully, Mangetsu had joined the battle, using a combined water-style attack, taking advantage of his clan's Hydrification Technique as he unleashed a powerful counterattack against Han, giving even a perfect Jinchūriki a run for its money.
However, Han was no pushover, boosting enormous power. Han had indeed been pushed back by Mangetsu's attack, being forced to use his strongest technique, the tailed beast bomb.
Mangetsu had to use everything he had, charging all of his chakra into Hiramekarei and creating a powerful blast to match the tailed beast bomb, resulting in a huge explosion that shook the ground itself.
"Get back!" Shikaku yelled, ordering both the Leaf and Mist forces to get clear of the blast.
Many tried their best, however, for those who were too close to the blast it was too late, resulting in their bodies being vaporized due to the intense heat that resulted.
As the dust and smoke from the blast settled, only the five tails could be seen standing tall, with no sign of Mangetsu.
The huge body of water that Mangetsu had used to attack with had also been vapourised, resulting in a large body of steam forming around the area, something that Han would take advantage of as he let loose a powerful roar, directing the steam toward the remaining allied forces.
"Steam..." Shikaku said to himself, watching as it started to burn the rocks and dirt not far from him and the others.
"Get back!" He suddenly yelled, knowing that the steam would melt the flesh off of their bones if it made contact.
"Retreat!" Another of the Mist shinobi yelled, already knowing how dangerous hot steam was thanks to witnessing Mei use it before.
"I won't let you escape so easily," Han said while he watched them turn tail and run.
Han burst from the ground, jumping high into the air as if his legs had springs in them, soaring over the allied forces before he crashed and skidded along the ground on the other side of them, cutting all of them off.
"This is the end for all of you, witness the power of Iwagakure!" Han roared before he charged another tailed beast blast, giving the analogy of being stuck between a rock and a hard place some real meaning.
"Its no use!"
"I don't want to die!"
The screams of the allied forces echoed through the crackle of energy that Han gathered, knowing that there was nothing they could do.
"Shikaku, I'm going to use that!" Choza suddenly shouted, making the hand signs to his super-expansion jutsu.
Shikaku knew that even Choza's super expansion jutsu wouldn't be enough to stop that amount of pure Chakra, not being able to think of anything they could do to get out of this one.
Choza suddenly grew into a giant and used his Bō staff to create a powerful gust of wind to stop the steam that was creeping toward them, sending it flying away before turning his attention toward Han.
"Choza, don't do it!" Shikaku yelled, knowing that he was about to sacrifice himself for them.
"Die!" Han roared, unleashing his powerful-tailed beast bomb, watching as it flew toward Choza and the others.
"I'm sorry, Shikaku. But this is all I can do." Choza said as he launched forward toward the tailed beast bomb, hoping that he would be able to at least save the others.
"Choza, no!" Inoichi Yamanaka also yelled, watching helplessly from the side with hundreds of others.
However, just as Choza was about to make contact with the tailed beast bomb, a large wall of ice formed in his way, causing Choza to crash into it, resulting in him getting knocked back onto his arse.
Everyone watched in shock as the tailed beast bomb crashed into the wall of ice, unsure of what was happening.
"W-What the hell is that!" One of the Leaf shinobi yelled.
Shikaku was also surprised, having no idea what the hell was happening all of a sudden.
"You fools. You have no idea whats going on do you." One of the Mist shinobi suddenly said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
All of the others looked at him as if he was crazy.
"What are you talking about, what's happening?" One of the Leaf asked.
"He's here. Lord Mizukage is here!"
Han watched as his tailed beast bomb, his most powerful technique hit the ice wall, expecting it to simply explode or break through it with ease. But, this was no simple ice wall, something that Han was able to anatomize as the tailed beast bomb was suddenly absorbed into the ice, disappearing as if it were never there.
Everyone else also watched in amazement that the danger had vanished, leaving no trace of it whatsoever.
"Is everyone alright?" A voice suddenly said, coming from the rear of the troops.
Shikaku and the others slowly turned around to see Fuyōna standing tall, with his cloak gently dancing in the wind as he walked toward them.
"Lord Mizukage!" The Mist shinobi suddenly yelled, cheering for him as they let out a battle cry.
"We knew you would come!"
Shikaku and the other Leaf shinobi watched in amazement as Fuyōna walked through the ranks of ninja.
"So strong... He was able to get rid of a tailed beast bomb with such ease... Just like Lord 4th." Shikaku thought to himself, watching as Fuyōna passed him, heading toward the front to face Han.
"I think you should all get clear while I deal with this," Fuyōna said, knowing that his fight with Han could get messy.
"Yes sir." One of the Mist shinobi said, quickly taking charge of the others.
"Continue your assault on the bridge, I will make sure this guy doesn't get in the way." Fuyōna then said, looking at Shikaku.
Shikaku was almost lost for words, watching as Fuyōna simply walked off to the front of the ranks as if he wasn't about to face the giant monster before them.
"You too." Fuyōna then said, looking at Choza, who was still confused as to what was happening.
"R-Right," Choza said, rubbing the back of his head while shrinking back down to normal size.
Han wasn't sure who the hell Fuyōna thought he was, but he got a strange feeling from him, knowing he shouldn't underestimate him.
"I can't mess around with this guy, I should attack head-on right from the start!" Han said, not liking this feeling he was getting.
Fuyōna watched as Han let out a howl before he charged him head-on, pointing his head down toward him aiming to ram him with all of his power.
"Here he comes, everyone get back!" One of the Mist shinobi captains yelled out, knowing it would be bad if anyone got in Fuyōna's way.
Fuyōna smiled as Han charged at him, knowing this would be a good opportunity for him to let loose for once. However, he knew that time was of the essence and he couldn't afford to mess around here.
"Sorry but, I'm not going to waste any time here with you," Fuyōna said as he closed his eyes for a moment, taking only a few seconds to gather the nature energy around him. Fuyōna's hair turned white from the roots down while two bones grew from his head like horns.
The markings around his eyes also changed before Fuyōna opened his eyes and allowed Saiken's chakra to envelop his body, transforming into the full body of the six tails to match Han as he met his charge head-on.
"What in the hell!" Han yelled out in shock, not expecting to be met with another of the tailed beasts.
Fuyōna had mixed sage chakra with the power of Saiken's chakra, resulting in a powerful combination of sage and Jinchūriki powers.
Fuyōna used all six of his tails to wrap around Han's body as he charged into him head-on. However, rather than feeling a solid object resisting his charge, he was met with a more sticking and gooey substance.
Fuyōna wrapped his large body around Han like a slug, using all of his tails and body to restrain Han as he slowly started to absorb his body into his own like a slime.
"What the hell is going on!" Han yelled, not being able to move.
"Sage art... Crosive slime jutsu..." Fuyōna said to himself, letting the acid in his body start to get to work on Han.
"It is as if his body is melting mine!" Han yelled, trying to think of a way out of it.
Suddenly Han let loose a powerful burst of steam from his entire body, trying to burn Fuyōna off of him.
"That won't work, my acid is stronger than your steam," Fuyōna said, causing Han to panic, trying to use his legs and tails to force himself free.
"It's no use, I'm afraid it's over for you," Fuyōna said, knowing that in a moment Han wouldn't be able to fight anymore.
"It's no use... I can't move..." Han said, not knowing how he was going to get himself free from this situation.
Suddenly an idea formed in his mind, giving him one last chance to try and get free from this prison that Fuyōna had made.
Suddenly Han's body burst into smoke as he undid the transformation of the five tails, returning back to his human form.
Han had shrunk so fast that he had gotten free of Fuyōna's tails, giving him a second to let loose a powerful burst of steam from his feet that propelled him out of Fuyōna's body, bursting free into the fresh air.
"Impressive..." Fuyōna said to himself, not having expected him to try something like that.
Han landed on the ground and rolled like a rag doll, bouncing a few times before he came to a halt trying to get his breath back.
"Another ten seconds in there and I would have been a goner..." He said through his mask.
Fuyōna also decided to revert back to his human form, absorbing Siken's body into his own before stepping foot onto the ground, still in sage mode.
"I'm afraid I cannot let you escape this fight, Han," Fuyōna said surprising Han that he knew his name.
"So... You are the Kage killer," Han said, knowing who he was now, having seen his picture in the bingo book.
"The 5th Mizukage, Fuyōna Yuki."
Fuyōna smiled as he brushed some of his hair out of his face.
"Seems my reputation process itself."
Suddenly Han burst forward using the power of the steam engine in his back to travel at blinding speed.
However, Fuyōna knew what he was about to do before he even moved, simply stepping to the side out of the way of his kick.
Han hit the ground and skidded to a halt, surprised he had been able to dodge that.
"I'm afraid I'm not the monologuing type." Fuyōna then said before vanishing, leaving Han stunned.
"Where did he go?" Han asked, not being able to sense him.
Fuyōna appeared behind Han with Han having no idea he was there until it was to late.
"It's over," Fuyōna said as he placed his hand on Han's shoulder, causing Han to flinch and let loose a powerful blast of steam from his back.
However, it was no use as the steam froze, along with the rest of Han's upper body.
"N-No way!" Han said, trying to gather his chakra so he could transform into the five tails again.
Fuyōna knew he would try something like that, watching as his body became enveloped in a tailed beast chakra cloak, having all five tails right off the bat.
But, with the power that Sage mode gave, Fuyōna's ice was too strong for him to break free as it slowly covered his entire body, freezing him in a block of ice helpless to do anything.
"This isn't like the fight with Roshi... This time I'm at full power and not a clone. Sadly for you." Fuyōna said, remembering his battle with Roshi the four tails before he had sealed him away.
Fuyōna quickly made the hand sign with only one hand, using the same sealing technique he had used on Roshi before he swallowed Han's body with an ice mirror, sealing him away.
"It is done..." Fuyōna said as he breathed a sigh of relief, and allowed the sage chakra to leave his body, returning his features to normal.
Now that Fuyōna had defeated Han and sealed him away, he turned his attention toward the others who had started fighting over the bridge again. "Now, to capture this bridge once and for all."
