Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Naruto was so anxious he jumped up and down: "Damn it! That guy's weird! Sasuke, watch out!"

In the critical moment, Sasuke endured the excruciating pain and brought out the full potential of his Sharingan's insight!

He jerked his head back, narrowly avoiding the deadly chokehold.

But the clothes on her chest were still torn in several places by the sharp wind from her fingers.

At the same time, he channeled the remaining chakra into his right foot, slammed it into the ground, and used the momentum to retreat rapidly, creating distance between them.

Cold sweat trickled down Sasuke's forehead.

A wave of weakness washed over his left arm; that one contact had drained nearly a fifth of his chakra!

What alarmed him even more was that the erosion of the cursed seal seemed to become more active due to the fluctuations in chakra and his physical weakness.

That evil, sinister force, like a venomous snake, kept trying to burrow into his consciousness and disrupt his concentration.

"Hehehe...Can you feel it, Uchiha Sasuke?"

Instead of giving chase, Kakashi stood still and stretched his wrists, which had just absorbed chakra, as if in a state of bliss.

It was as if I had tasted some unparalleled delicacy.

All of this was observed by Orochimaru, who was disguised as a Jonin of the Sound Ninja. He muttered to himself, "Akagami Might Guy's secret technique, 'Eating Energy Hand'! As long as his limbs touch you, your chakra will become his nourishment! And..."

He smiled sinisterly, his gaze sweeping over the cursed seal on the back of Sasuke's neck: "Sasuke, your cursed seal is easily affected by his chakra. What should you do?"

At that moment, Sasuke's heart sank.

The opponent not only possesses a strange ability to absorb chakra, but also seems to be able to sense and even trigger the abnormal movements of the cursed seal!

This is just making his current situation even worse!

Don't get close! Absolutely don't let him touch you! Otherwise, your chakra will be drained, and your cursed seal will go out of control!

"What's wrong? Is all the noble Uchiha clan capable of is running away?"

Red Copper Kai let out a harsh laugh and launched another attack.

This time, his movements were even more unpredictable and elusive, his hands like two venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, constantly seeking an opportunity to make physical contact with Sasuke.

He didn't aim for a fatal blow, but rather, like a cat playing with a mouse, he constantly forced Sasuke to dodge and block.

Every time Sasuke was forced to use his arms or legs to cut off his attacks, Sasuke would take the opportunity to touch him.

Even if it's just for a moment, it will take away a trace of chakra and at the same time intensify the erosion of the cursed seal!

Sasuke is in an extremely passive situation!

Through Naruto's perspective, Minato, inside the sealed space, pondered, "That guy doesn't seem like a Konoha ninja."

Nine-Tails yawned: "Hasn't Konoha always been known for its diverse and varied secret techniques? It's not surprising that there are all sorts of secret techniques."

Madara countered, "No, this kind of secret technique involves human modification no matter how you look at it. When Hashirama and I established Konoha, he was very opposed to this kind of secret technique, so it's impossible for such a secret technique to exist in Konoha."

Nine-Tails' expression changed: "So..."

"This person is a spy."

Minato and Ban responded simultaneously.

Chapter 81 Summoning Technique! Toad Flame!

Sasuke barely managed to dodge the opponent's attacks, relying on the Sharingan's powerful dynamic vision and predictive abilities.

But each dodge consumes precious stamina and chakra.

Every forced block weakens him.

His movements began to slow down, and his breathing became rapid.

The burning pain and chilling sensation brought by the curse mark were like maggots clinging to his bones, constantly assaulting his mental barriers and trying to break down his will.

Cold sweat soaked his back.

"Damn it... this can't go on..."

Sasuke's brain was working at lightning speed.

Ranged attack? I can only use my chakra once at most, and the opponent is very fast. If I miss, I'm done for.

No shuriken? I used shuriken quite a bit in the fight just now, but my opponent was able to withstand them with his bare hands, which means that the move is useless.

The Sharingan's genjutsu? The opponent's mental state is abnormally excited and greedy, so it may not be easy to work, and if the genjutsu fails, the risk of being caught in close combat is even greater.

Just as Sasuke once again awkwardly dodged Akabane Guy's withered claws that were reaching for his shoulder.

As the stinging pain of the cursed seal made his vision blur slightly, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!

Then attack with something he can't touch! Use absolute power, from a safe distance, to completely destroy him!

At this moment, Sasuke recalled what Jiraiya had said when he was training with him...

“Sasuke, you and Gamabunta should get along well. He is one of the masters of fire manipulation at Mount Myōboku.”

A resolute glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes!

Spiritual communication is the only option!

Although summoning toad flames consumes a lot of chakra, it's still better than being drained by the opponent or being devoured by the cursed seal!

"Heh heh, can't hold on anymore? The Uchiha bloodline is nothing special!"

Kamen Rider Akagi closed in again, his hands glowing with a dark gray chakra, like two greedy nets enveloping Sasuke.

At this critical moment, Sasuke suddenly did a backflip, creating several meters of distance between them.

At the same time, his hands began to form hand seals at a speed that left afterimages!

It's not a Fire Release seal, but a Summoning Jutsu seal!

"Hai—Xu—You—Shen—Wei!"

"Psychic art!"

Sasuke bit his right thumb, pressing the chakra-infused blood hard onto the ground!

A thick plume of white smoke exploded with a tremendous sound! Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring visibility.

Red Copper Kai paused in his forward charge, warily watching the smoke. The spectators in the stands also craned their necks.

The smoke quickly dissipated, and a huge figure appeared in the center of the arena, blocking Sasuke's way!

That was a giant toad, several times larger than an ordinary toad!

Its entire body is a dark red, like lava, and its skin is covered with grooves and patterns that look like lava flowing through it.

Its eyes gleamed with a burning light, like burning coals.

What's most striking is its enormous mouth, which is now slightly open.

A scorching heat emanated from it, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

It is none other than the toad from Mount Myōboku who is skilled in fire-style techniques—Gamabunta!

“Quack—!”

The toad-flame let out a deep, drum-like croak.

With a hint of morning grumpiness from being summoned, it turned its huge eyes and looked at Sasuke, who was swaying slightly behind it.

"Hey! You're the Sasuke that Jiraiya mentioned? What brings you here?" Its voice was loud and clear, with the distinctive tone of a toad.

"Toad inflammation..."

Sasuke gasped for breath, enduring the combined pain of depleted chakra and the corrosive effects of the cursed seal, his voice hoarse but unusually firm: "Cooperate with me..."

"You should just forget about it. While there's still time, I'll help you get it sorted out."

Gamahage's gaze shifted to the astonished and wary Akaguni Kai, a glint of interest flashing in his burning eyes: "It just so happens that Uncle Bunta has been neglecting to spar with me since he got Gamakichi, so now I can finally stretch my muscles! But this place is a bit small, don't blame me if you get burned!"

After recovering from his initial shock, the greed on his face intensified, but a hint of apprehension crept into the depths of his eyes.

A summoning beast! And a toad that's enormous and radiates terrifying heat!

I wonder if his "Devouring Hand" is effective against energy forms like flames?

But the chakra contained within this toad held a fatal allure for him!

"So what if it's a giant toad! I'll take your chakra!"

A glint of madness flashed in Kai's eyes. He abandoned Sasuke and decided to deal with this bigger threat first!

His figure became elusive again, moving swiftly around the massive body of the Toad Flame like a ghost, searching for an opportunity to touch it.

The gray-black chakra light flickered on his withered palm, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Hmph! You foolish flea!"

Two streams of scorching white vapor shot out from Toadflame's enormous nostrils.

It looked at the copper caena with utter disdain, which it perceived as circling in slow motion.

Just as the copper-copper Kai was trying to approach its thick hind legs from the side!

"Shh-!"

A crimson bolt of lightning tore through the air!

It was faster than most genin could even see!

The toad's thick, tough, mucus-covered long tongue.

Like a burning steel whip, it struck the copper armor with lightning speed and perfect precision!

"what?!"

Red Copper Kai was shocked; he had never expected the behemoth's attack to be so swift and cunning!

In his haste, he could only cross his arms to protect himself.

The gray-black "Devouring Hand" chakra was running at full power, attempting to withstand and absorb the power contained in the tongue!

"Snapped--!!!"

A sharp, chilling sound!
