Chapter 113 Fierce Battle Against Age Spots (Day 4, 10,000 words, please subscribe and vote)

"Bang!"

The two figures collided in mid-air, and then a fierce battle ensued.

Madara Uchiha's taijutsu was undoubtedly top-notch.

His control over power is exquisite, and his use of technique is masterful. Every punch and kick delivers just the right amount of force, appearing at the most opportune moment.

Ryuji is no weakling either.

He was multitasking, fighting Madara while simultaneously opening his personal storage space to retrieve spare parts for the "Armor" and putting them on.

Although wearing this armor makes you more cumbersome, it greatly increases your speed, defense, and strength.

Ryuji launched a defensive counter-attack with an open and aggressive style, leaving no openings.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The two attacked and blocked, advanced and retreated, constantly pulling back and forth, with fists flying and kicks flying everywhere, dazzling the eyes while being pleasing to the eye.

Because their movements were so precise, each strike perfectly matched human biomechanics, delivering maximum power with the simplest movements, their fists and feet constantly colliding, causing rainwater to splash everywhere.

On a high ground far from the center of the battlefield, a man of mixed race, half black and half white, was watching the battle.

The white half of the body exclaimed in surprise, "To be able to fight Madara to a standstill, that's truly astonishing!"

"That's because Madara has aged." The black half of his body pointed out the problem. "Even with Zetsu Uzumaki amplifying his physical abilities, his lifespan has reached its limit. No matter how much he amplifies, there is a limit. It can't compare to Nagato's burst of power."

"Is Nagato really that strong?" White Zetsu asked, then turned to look at the red-haired boy lying unconscious beside him.

"Don't underestimate Nagato. Although it's not his own power, he is the third person to master the power of the Six Paths."

"In that case, wouldn't Ryuji Ayaki, who can defeat Nagato, be even more powerful?" White Zetsu asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu fell silent.

He naturally knew how powerful Ayaki Ryuji was, but he couldn't understand his rise to power at all.

According to the intelligence he investigated, this Ayaki Ryuji's past performance was only at the level of an average ninja genius.

But ever since the Four Ninja Villages began their attack on Sunagakure two months ago, the enemy has been constantly displaying abilities beyond human comprehension.

He single-handedly fought ten elite Jonin, killing nine of them in direct combat without resorting to tricks or schemes, relying solely on his raw strength, while the remaining one managed to escape by sheer luck.

While the subsequent three cannon shots that repelled the enemy were impressive, Black Zetsu didn't find them particularly remarkable; he was merely somewhat surprised by the power of those weapons.

However, he later defeated Minato's team in Loulan, used taijutsu to kill Uchiha Setsuna in Konoha, returned to Sunagakure and acted swiftly and decisively to massacre the high-ranking officials, and then came to Amegakure to defeat Nagato, who was burning his life force. Now he is fighting on equal footing with Uchiha Madara...

This series of actions not only demonstrated superhuman strength, but also showcased a bold and decisive character.

His wisdom and strategic vision should not be underestimated. Although his actions always seem bold and deceptive, he always manages to break through in the simplest and most direct way.

Moreover, he knew about Madara Uchiha, the Eye of the Moon Plan, and his mother…

What else does this person know?

What exactly is this person planning?

Black Zetsu's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

He learned what Ryuji had said to Madara through Zetsu.

Although Madara Uchiha didn't believe it out of arrogance, the real mastermind behind it all was terrified when he heard it.

Especially when I heard Ryuji say he wanted to kill Kaguya, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Princess Kaguya is immortal and indestructible; even the Sage of Six Paths and his brother could not kill her and could only choose to seal her away.

If one knew the complete information, it would be impossible to have the idea of ​​killing Princess Kaguya.

But it's also possible that he had all the information and devised a method to kill Princess Kaguya.

Although Black Zetsu thought it was impossible, he could not ignore any potential threat to his mother.

"This guy is an anomaly, he has to die!"

Black Zetsu thought to himself.

Ban thought so too.

This person knows my plan and has the strength and influence to affect the situation in the ninja world. If I let him live, he will definitely disrupt my plan.

Ryuuji Ayaki is doomed!

A fierce glint flashed in Ban's eyes, and his attacks became increasingly ruthless.

While his speed and strength were indeed inferior to Nagato's, who was burning with life force, his combat experience, physical skills, combat awareness, and the mentality of a strongman could easily annihilate Nagato.

Since leaving the Gedo Mazo meant certain death, Madara disregarded his own life and fought with the intention of taking Ryuji down with him.

With this reckless ruthlessness, Long Er was actually being overwhelmed and beaten.

This is incredible.

Logically speaking, with armor that even the Rasengan cannot break through, no matter how high one's physical skills are, they cannot penetrate the defense, and it would be impossible to fight to the death.

However, Madara Uchiha's taijutsu skills had reached their peak, and he had clearly done prior research and had a clear understanding of the weaknesses of mechanical armor.

That is, the connection points of the various components.

Attacking the joints can cause the armor to separate, thereby harming the people inside.

Even if you can predict the opponent's attack route with the intuition of a martial arts expert, and even if A's auxiliary system can accurately calculate the opponent's attack intentions, there is only one optimal solution in the end - avoid the opponent's sharp edge.

Even if you see through my attack, there's nothing you can do about it.

This is the terror of Madara Uchiha!

It's not simply about strength, speed, or skill; it's a holistic combination of combat experience, combat awareness, and a strong mentality.

When such a terrifying creature is ready to fight to the death, he is invincible.

Unless his opponent is the same kind of being.

Of course, the above reasons are all objective factors.

There are also obvious factors contributing to the fact that Ryuji is being suppressed so thoroughly.

That is, his power does not come from himself, but from the amplification provided by technological equipment.

Even if he is very familiar with the amplification brought by this set of equipment, he can never be more familiar with his own power than those who obtain power through their own forging.

Even if he synchronizes with the armor through his mental ocean, there is still a delay in the transmission effect.

Although this delay is less than 0.001 seconds, it is so small that it can be almost ignored.

But at this level, even a delay of 0.001 seconds is enough to tip the scales of the game.

If the levels of the two sides in the battle were to increase by another tier, this 0.001-second delay would become a fatal flaw that could lead to defeat.

"As expected, only by fighting an equally matched enemy can one discover one's own weaknesses. Not having Hong join forces with me immediately was such a wise decision." Ryuji laughed heartily.

Although being constantly outmaneuvered by the enemy was frustrating, the joy of discovering one's own weaknesses without paying any price was enough to offset the unpleasantness.

The happier Ryuji was, the more displeased Madara Uchiha became.

Madara Uchiha was a figure feared by everyone in the ninja world, yet he was used as an alchemy stone by a mere brat. How could he not be furious?

"Kid, you might be messing with my mindset, but you probably don't know this..." Uchiha Madara said in a senior-like manner while launching a frenzied attack, "Some people get blinded by anger, but others become calmer the angrier they get, yet their explosive power remains undiminished."

As the words fell, Madara Uchiha's power became even more ferocious. His fist, infused with chakra, unleashed monstrous strength, sending a two-hundred-kilogram armored figure flying with a single punch.

While this isn't surprising for Madara, who received Hashirama's cells, the fact that he's resorted to this technique speaks volumes... his chakra is severely depleted, making it impossible for him to unleash a large number of ninjutsu attacks in battle.

Or rather, it's not enough to support the use of ninjutsu to complete a battle of this level.

In other words, this is the limit for this age spot.

"What a disappointment! I thought I'd get to see more!" Ryuji turned to the girl watching from the sidelines. "Kurenai, let's attack together and take this guy down."

"learn!"

Red claps her hands together, and as she mobilizes her chakra, a powerful aura emanates from her body, her hair flying wildly and disheveled.

[Earth Release: Fang Forest!]

bang bang bang! ! !

Suddenly, sharp stone pillars shot out, and with the full power of the Red Fire, supported by its vast chakra, the area within a radius of several thousand meters, except for the place where Ryuji stood, was transformed into a forest of sharp spikes.

Madara Uchiha used Wood Release beforehand, planting a large tree beneath his feet. He stood on the tree and escaped the calamity as it grew rapidly.

He looked around, his vision blurred, but all he could see were the sharp spikes of the stone pillars; their density and sheer scale were startling.

Upon seeing this, Ban frowned deeply.

Using a B-rank Earth Release technique on this scale is no less impressive than his mastery of Fire Release.

But why have we never heard of such a powerful expert?

He had sensed Kurenai's powerful chakra reserves while he was secretly observing her.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, while there aren't many people with powerful chakra, there are still quite a few, especially the Uzumaki and Senju clans, who are particularly strong in this aspect.

Although Kurenai's chakra quantity was somewhat beyond the usual powerful level, it wasn't too outrageous, and it was only about half the power of the Nine-Tails compared to Hashirama Senju.

But having broken through his own aura before, and now using ninjutsu of this caliber—the opponent has shown that he is not just someone with potential, but someone who has transformed that potential into combat power.

"Boom!"

Lost in thought, a ball of orange fire was thrown by Hong, its terrifying heat causing the rain within a ten-meter radius to evaporate instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ban jumped off the tree.

The fireball struck the tree in the next second, creating a terrifying explosion. The powerful heat spread and formed an energy shield with a diameter of hundreds of meters, incinerating everything inside.

"Scorching Release, is it?"

Madara stood with his legs clamped between the tips of a stone pillar and looked out, judging the nature of the ninjutsu by the unusually high temperature that no ordinary fire jutsu could produce.

Ryuji piloted his mecha into the sky, unleashing a high-speed water jet from his left palm.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

Don't you lack sufficient chakra to use ninjutsu in battle?

Then I'll use ninjutsu to attack from a distance.
