I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 596 Uchiha Madara, we are actually the same type of ninja!

Even Nara Rinka had to admit that Madara Uchiha's opening genjutsu was quite "ceremonial".

Because if he remembers correctly.

When he first officially met Madara Uchiha, the first technique Madara used was this one—

【Magical Technique: Shackles】!

but.

Back then, the shadowy figure was not afraid to compete with Madara Uchiha in genjutsu.

The current Nara Rangsei wouldn't care about this at all.

Sensing the powerful pupil force rushing towards him from the air, Nara Rinka's eyes darkened.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

The S-rank technique [Lacquer Eye] was silently activated, and Nara Rinka's pupil power was released outwards with his thoughts.

[Illusion Magic: Dark Eyes]!

midair.

The two equally powerful pupil forces collided, unleashing an invisible ripple that was barely perceptible to the naked eye.

At that moment, both Nara Rinka and Uchiha Madara experienced a very subtle change in their field of vision.

However, neither side actually fell under the other's illusionary control.

Ninjas skilled in visual illusion techniques all know this.

When two ninjas are both skilled in visual genjutsu, it is extremely difficult to determine a winner unless the difference in skill between them is too great.

Although Madara Uchiha's "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan" was extremely powerful.

However, Nara Lankei's self-developed S-class "Lacquer Eye" is no ordinary item.

There is no fundamental difference between the two.

A brief but dangerous battle of visual illusions came to a silent end.

"You've improved a bit, Nara kid..."

Madara Uchiha looked at Nara Rangsuke with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Although he was sharp-tongued, he still acknowledged the other party's strength.

Regardless of the circumstances, Nara Rinka once killed Uchiha Madara.

This is something even Hashirama Senju couldn't accomplish back then!

(Hashirama Senju only forced Madara Uchiha to fake his death...)

If Nara Rinka is directly controlled by the [Magic Shackles Technique].

Madara Uchiha would be disappointed instead.

But now it seems that the kid's "eyes" have improved quite a bit compared to before...

As a master of using his eyes, Madara Uchiha had an extremely keen sense of the quality of his eye power.

Just one clash of pupil power.

That was enough for Madara Uchiha to roughly determine the level of Nara Rinka's "eyes"—

It is no less powerful than the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!

That's a very high compliment.

Madara Uchiha felt a surge of interest.

Having regained a "young" body, he barely managed to recover most of his former fighting strength.

If there isn't a suitable "punching bag," Madara Uchiha will be very disappointed!

Judging from the current situation, Nara Rinka's level is not bad.

At least this level of eye power has barely met Madara Uchiha's requirements.

So...

What about ninjutsu?

One idea after another flashed through Madara Uchiha's mind, but his hands never stopped moving.

He raised his hands and formed a simple "寅" mudra.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the chakra within his body, and released it forward.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

tumultuous--

Madara Uchiha unleashed a colossal fireball nearly ten meters in diameter, instantly distorting and scorching the surrounding air.

The blazing firelight illuminated the faces of Nara Rinka and Tsunade.

The latter looked slightly nervous.

But the former's expression did not change at all.

Nara Rinkazu calmly watched the enormous fireball hurtling towards them.

He didn't make any hand seals; his eyes merely narrowed.

The Yin Release chakra released by [Lacquer Eyes] was mixed with the Fire Release chakra refined within his body.

The two forces merged instantly, and were then guided and released by Nara Rinka.

[Flame Release: Demon Burning]!

The next instant.

A strange, purplish-black flame suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking the path of the [Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation] attack.

Judging solely from the volume.

The purplish-black flames formed by [Flame Release: Demon Burn] were only the size of a fist, far smaller than the scale of [Great Fire Annihilation].

however.

The moment the purplish-black flames formed by [Flame Release: Demon Burn] collided with the orange-yellow flames of [Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation], the former unleashed a terrifying power that left people speechless.

The orange-yellow flames summoned by [Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation] were like a special kind of fuel in flame form, directly poured onto the purplish-black flames formed by [Flame Release: Demon Burning].

The purplish-black flame, which was only the size of a fist a second ago, rapidly expanded in size and volume.

From an outsider's perspective, the purplish-black flame appeared to have "ignited" the orange-yellow fireball, with the purplish-black color spreading continuously across the orange-yellow fireball.

In no time at all.

Madara Uchiha's [Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation] was completely ignited by [Flame Release: Demon Burning].

This simple and practical B-rank fire-style ninjutsu not only lost its original effect, but also risked burning Uchiha Madara in reverse.

Seeing the purplish-black flames suddenly expand, Madara Uchiha suppressed his urge to charge forward.

He originally predicted that Nara Rinka would use Water Release to resist [Great Fire Extinction], or use Wind Release to counter Fire Release.

After all, there are only a few conventional methods to deal with Fire Release techniques in the ninja world.

If Nara Rinka really did use Water Release or Wind Release.

Then Madara Uchiha could take advantage of the visual obstruction caused by the collision of water and fire (wind and fire) to directly rush in and attack!

But Madara Uchiha never expected this...

Nara Ranke actually used Fire Release to counter his [Great Fire Annihilation]!

Fight fire with fire!

Even more outrageous is...

They actually succeeded!

In terms of power and effect, Nara Rinka's Fire Release seems to far surpass that of his Uchiha ancestor.

[Extinguishing Fire] Upon encountering that ball of purplish-black flames, they immediately crumbled.

Throughout Madara Uchiha's long ninja career, he had never seen a similar purplish-black flame.

Moreover, he had just clearly seen Nara Rinka's "casting animation".

The extinguishing of the great fire still requires a "Yin" seal.

That purplish-black flame...

It's an instant cast without any special moves?!

Blood inheritance limit?

Or is it a pupil technique?

This kid's strength is increasingly exciting Madara Uchiha.

A massive purplish-black fireball formed by [Flame Release: Demon Burn] blocked the path between Nara Rinka and Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha, wary of the unknown power of this fire-style ninjutsu, chose to remain stationary.

However, Nara Rangsei will not stop its offensive.

【Flame Release】is a special bloodline limit developed by Nara Rinkei based on the 【Entwined Flame Cat Fire】 of the Two-Tails Matatabi.

After several years of research, Nara Rinkei has completely mastered this bloodline limit.

Under Nara Rinka's mental manipulation, an enormous, purplish-black flame vaguely formed a flamboyant fire cat, which pounced on Uchiha Madara and Orochimaru opposite them.

Looking at the large, purplish-black cat that had "taken over," Madara Uchiha once again unleashed his eye power.

A thin chakra skeleton appeared out of thin air on the surface of his body.

Despite its seemingly frail frame, it steadily withstood the attack of [Flame Release].

The purple-black flames of [Flame Release] impacted the chakra skeleton like seawater crashing against rocks.

The former crashed and was completely shattered.

The latter still stands there, unmoved.

After releasing this chakra skeleton, Madara Uchiha did not seem satisfied.

He continued to unleash his eye power, and powerful Yin Release chakra surrounded him, constantly perfecting his still somewhat frail frame.

From the most basic ribs, to a half-giant, and then to four arms...

The chakra giant is rapidly taking shape.

"It's Susanoo..."

Nara Rinka chuckled softly, and a dark chakra arm emerged from his shadow.
