Two days have passed since the Hero Association mentioned the Dragon-level threat, and Ryūji was on the outskirts of Z-City with Silver Fang and Tornado, along with some cameras the association has to watch the fight.
"By the way, what is your power? It's something I haven't seen before."
Tatsumaki asked, seeing Ryūji's life energy, and Bang also became interested in the topic. Ryūji, waiting for this question, answers.
"The energy inside me is called Chakra. It's a form of energy that all living beings have, but it's very difficult to extract, so much so that trying to extract it could kill you if you don't use it properly."
Of course, Ryūji made all this up because since he arrived on this planet, he hasn't been able to find anyone with chakra, since he's the only one in this universe.
Hearing this, Bang is very surprised and asks the following question:
"And what does chakra do that makes it so special?"
"Well, chakra has the ability to control the elements, as well as Yin and Yang. It also enhances physical and mental strength and creates very powerful techniques capable of destroying a mountain or more if you have enough chakra."
Upon hearing this, Bang is even more surprised and asks if he could create a simple technique for him to see.
Ryūji immediately agreed, creating two shadow clones.
'PUFFx2'
Seeing the new Ryūji, Bang watches them for a moment, and when he's about to speak, Ryūji makes hand seals and the clones transform into Bang and Tatsumaki.
"Ooooh!! Very impressive. With this, you could do many espionage and assassination missions."
"Hahaha, thanks. This is actually my favorite technique since the clones help me learn things faster since everything the clone learns goes directly from my head."
When Bang is about to continue speaking, Tatsumaki interrupts him and asks.
"How many clones can you make at the same time? And how long does each clone last?"
Ryūji puts a finger to his chin and answers thoughtfully.
"Hmm, the truth is, I can make more than a thousand clones at once, and I can maintain that since my chakra reserves are always replenished immediately upon use."
Tatsumaki is slightly surprised when she hears this, but quickly hides it.
They spent about 30 minutes talking until Ryūji felt an incredible amount of life energy, or rather, a lot of life energy, approaching them.
"It seems they're here, and there are a lot of them."
Hearing this, the other heroes look to the horizon and see a large number of shapes walking toward them.
After waiting about 2 minutes, an army made of lava and other creatures like golems and giants, also made of lava, appear before them.

The heroes remain silent as a horned monster with a sword walks toward them, stops about 5 meters away, and speaks.

"WE ARE THE VOLCANO KING'S ARMY!!! AND WE WANT TO EXPAND OUR TERRITORY TO THE SURFACE, SO WE'RE GOING TO KILL YOU ALL LIKE THE ANTS YOU ARE. SAY YOUR LAST WISH BEFORE WE EXTERMINATE YOU!!!"
Hearing the monster, Tatsumaki can't help but get angry and say, "Who do these creatures think they are?! Speak again and I'll kill you, do you hear me?!"
Ryūji can't help but laugh at Tatsumaki's words and responds to the monster.
"I'm sorry, but the surface belongs to humans, and we're not going to let you take it."
"THEN WE'LL KILL THEM ALL!!!! ATTACK AND KILL EVERYONE YOU SEE!!!"
Upon hearing the monster, the army marches toward Ryūji, who only has an excited smile on his face.
"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!"
As he finished speaking, a few thousand shadow clones appear next to Ryūji and prepare to rush toward the enemy army.
'BOOM!!!'
'BOOM!!!'
Ryūji himself runs toward the monster, sword-wielding Rasengan, to test the opponent's strength.
As he approaches the monster, it attacks with the Rasengan, but his enemy blocks it with his sword, causing it to flinch slightly. However, it quickly regains its balance and attacks Ryūji with a slash straight to his neck. Ryūji, seeing this, ducks back, easily dodging the blow.
Ryūji quickly enters into hand-to-hand combat with the monster with a Kunai which he took out of his pocket, his movements are too fast for the human eye but Ryūji can follow him thanks to his eyes which makes him see everything in slow motion, his enemy seeing that Ryūji could dodge his attacks steps on the ground causing sharp rocks made of lava to attack Ryūji while he retreats
Seeing this, Ryūji creates a Rasengan in each hand and destroys the rocks while advancing on the monster. The monster, seeing that Ryūji is busy with the rocks, prepares to attack from behind, but Ryūji blocks it with a golden hand that emerges from his back and catches the monster, who was not expecting this. With the monster in his hand, Ryūji slams it against the ground several times before sending it into the air. Taking advantage of this, he quickly uses a Rasen-Shuriken with his golden hand, which he created, killing the monster, creating an explosion that vaporized the monster completely.
Seeing this, he retreats and positions himself next to Bang and Tatsumaki to wait for the army to be destroyed.
"You did very well, Ryūji, especially the last technique. I must say that if it hits me, I could be seriously injured."
"Hahaha, thanks Mr. Bang, but I must say that the fight itself was quite easy, and my clones are already winning."
As Ryūji said, his clones were already winning the battle, and only a few hundred of them were missing. So, the clones each created a Rasengan and leaped into the air, causing a bright blue explosion and destroying the enemies in an instant.
After finishing all this, Ryūji waited for the system notification, but it didn't appear. Just as he was about to ask why, the mountain in front of them broke apart, and a giant monster made entirely of lava appeared, with wide arms and eyes that were literally fire. It had no mouth and its temperature was very high. The monster roared as it emerged from the mountain, sending trees and rocks flying.

Ryūji quickly placed his hand on his stomach and activated his Kurama Full Chakra Cloak ability.
The next moment, his figure turned a white-gold color and he teleported to Bang and Tatsumaki's side, covering them with a fox head that appeared on the ground.

"Mr. Bang, Miss Tatsumaki, would you like to join me and watch this fight up close?"
"Ohohohoho!!! With pleasure, Ryūji."
"Mph!! Do whatever you want."
The next moment, they rose from the ground, and Ryūji completed the Fox's body, making it as large as a mountain.

The next moment, Ryūji charged at the lava giant at full speed, punching him in the chest. But the giant resisted quite well and took advantage of the opportunity to grab the fox's arm and destroy it.
"MPHH!!! You're useless! You don't even know how to fight well!"
Ryuji, uncomfortable, could only laugh awkwardly since it was his first time transforming into his giant form and he didn't have much practice.
The next moment, the fox regenerated its arm, and Ryūji made its tails grab the raised monster and slam it into the ground. However, the monster on the ground grew lava snakes that attacked Ryūji, who was momentarily distracted from destroying the snakes. The monster took advantage of this to tackle the giant fox, knocking it to the ground and jumping to crush Ryūji.
But Ryūji quickly used a Bijudama, shooting the monster into the air, causing it to fly and crash into a mountain with one of its missing arms, which it immediately regenerated.
"Hey!!! Finish this, I'm bored!"
The one speaking was Tatsumaki, who was getting tired of the fight, and Ryūji, ignoring her. He climbed onto the fox's upper body as he spoke to Tatsumaki.
"Tatsumaki, could you please lift the monster into the air a little farther away from here so as not to damage the city?"
Tatsumaki, annoyed by the request, did what they asked because she was curious about what Ryūji was going to do and the damage it could cause.
Seeing the monster in the air, Ryūji created three chakra arms and began to make a giant Rasen-Shuriken while the fox made a Bijudama.
"Tailed Beast Planetary Rasen Shuriken!!!"
After finishing the name, he threw the Rasen-Shuriken into the air. Immediately afterward, the fox fired the Bijudama, which split into four parts that rotated around the shuriken. The moment it hit the monster, a purple energy vortex formed, turning into a light that reached the sky. After that, there was a purple explosion that created a dome that then broke and made a larger explosion that lit up the sky, creating a sonic boom that was heard in every city in the world.
After the explosion ended, he deactivated his chakra state as he couldn't sense life energy where the monster was, and to corroborate this, the system appeared.

[CONGRATULATIONS FOR RECEIVING]
S-Class Ninjutsu
Skill Steal
Ryūji was instantly happy as he received information from the system on how to use his new skill.
Skill Steal: When the host kills an enemy, they can gain a random skill from the dead enemy.
And the ability Ryūji received from the giant was Lava Skin, which can increase his attack and defense, and the ability to increase the temperature around him.
"I must say, Ryūji-san, your skills are incredible!!! I didn't expect you to cause so much destruction with chakra. It reminds me of my youth, hahaha!"
Ryūji, uncomfortable, could only laugh at Bang's words, since he didn't want to cause so much destruction, while Tatsumaki mocked him.
