Chapter 87: S-Rank Jutsu: Yang Spirit!
After exchanging blows for several rounds, "Not bad, you truly have the strength to escape last time's ambush!"
Rasa voluntarily stopped, scrutinizing Uchiha Takashi as if seeing him in a new light.
As for why Uchiha Takashi didn't summon Taiichi for help?
Come on, facing a high-agility, high-mobility Kage-level opponent who excels at dealing with large targets, summoning would just be asking for trouble.
Better to use that chakra himself.
Just because the opponent stopped didn't mean Uchiha Takashi would too.
"Doku Retsu!"
He unleashed a Golden Crow Fluid Technique, but it was blocked by Rasa's gold sand rising from the ground.
So strong! Only after truly engaging in battle does one understand how powerful a 'Kage-level' ninja is.
It's a completely different level from a Jonin.
It's only because Uchiha Takashi had so little information and the opponent was cautious and probing that he wasn't already in dire straits.
"But if this is all you've got, then die here!"
Rasa crossed his arms as more and more gold sand began to spread around.
By now, the battlefield had turned into a 'golden ocean.'
Boom!
A wave of gold sand several meters high surged forward.
This was too much!
Faced with this tsunami-like attack, Uchiha Takashi couldn't help but be amazed.
Kage-level ninjas may only be one rank above Jonin, but no matter how many Jonin there are, they can't handle a Kage-level ninja. If they can't win, they can at least escape, right?
That's why Kage-level ninjas are so important.
Seeing the commotion from afar, Hyuga Aotsuki, who was acting on the other side, grew anxious.
Shinra Tensei!
With a burst of repulsive force, she sent a Sand Ninja attacking from behind flying, then swiftly followed up.
Thud! Her right hand pierced through the opponent's heart like a razor.
If it weren't for the act, she could have taken out this Chunin in one blow.
Swish! After dealing with the last Sand Ninja on her side, she focused her attention on the 'golden ocean' in the distance, ready to intervene at any moment.
As for Yamakawa Koji?
Even facing two opponents at once, he was steadily suppressing them.
Having a second heart made his strength soar, so such a performance wasn't surprising.
On the other side! "Warm-up's over!"
Uchiha Takashi ignored the gold sand wave about to engulf him and started forming hand seals.
Boom!
The gold sand quickly buried his position completely.
"Magnet Release: Gold Sand Burial!"
Rasa slammed his hands on the ground, activating the jutsu.
The effect was simple: an explosive attack on targets within the gold sand.
Due to its sealed nature, the explosion's power increased exponentially, enough to obliterate the target's body completely—a truly ruthless technique.
However...
Even as Rasa executed the jutsu, Hyuga Aotsuki from afar showed no reaction, indicating the situation.
Bang! The gold sand where Uchiha Takashi was submerged was suddenly blasted away by a tremendous force.
A crimson apparition appeared.
The apparition had only an upper body, about five meters tall.
It's a jutsu! Remember what Uchiha Takashi obtained from Orochimaru?
A-Rank Fire Release: Fire Armor Avatar! It was because of this Fire Release that he took on this escort mission to make up for his contribution points.
Speaking of which, we must introduce the source of this Fire Release.
Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!
Yes, created by the greatest forbidden jutsu master in the ninja world.
Rated as A-Rank instead of S-Rank because it's a 'half-finished product.'
The source also reveals its inspiration.
Susanoo!
Created as an imitation of the Uchiha clan's divine power.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Tobirama Senju lacked certain elements, which is why this forbidden jutsu is only a half-finished product.
But even as a half-finished product, it doesn't mean it's useless.
The half-body giant apparition formed by the jutsu is strong in both defense and offense.
The recent attack was blocked by it.
What do ninjas lack the most?
Defense!
To put it bluntly, acquiring this jutsu made Uchiha Takashi want to shout in joy! With such a core jutsu, combined with his accumulated knowledge of ninjutsu and sealing techniques, he could soar to new heights, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Chapter 87: S-Rank Jutsu: Yang Spirit!
In just a few days, he not only mastered this incomplete A-Rank Fire Release but also gained other insights.
His hands slowly formed seals.
The fiery silhouette surrounding him mimicked his movements.
"Fire Release: Flame Cloak!"
Whoosh!!
Golden-orange flames began to cover the half-body giant, solidifying into a crimson armor.
Flame Cloak + Fire Armor Transformation.
These two jutsus complement each other and can be performed simultaneously.
Using the Flame Cloak on oneself and on the fiery silhouette yields completely different results.
To give a simple example:
When the Flame Cloak is used on oneself, its power must be limited.
Because the human body, no matter how high its resistance to fire, has its limits.
But with a fiery giant, it doesn't matter. The temperature can be infinitely increased, and the power of the Flame Cloak can be elevated without limit.
Thus, Uchiha Takashi obtained his first S-Rank jutsu.
Fire Release: Yang Spirit!
The temperature in the air surged wildly, as if one were inside a furnace.
In reality, this wasn't a good thing.
Because the rise in temperature also indicated Uchiha Takashi's lack of control.
If his control were sufficient, then the temperature would be condensed within the half-body giant, only erupting like a volcano during an attack.
"What a terrifying jutsu, but because of this, I absolutely cannot let you escape!"
Rasa gave his evaluation.
Yes, 'terrifying' was the only word to describe it.
The key point was the opponent's age!
To master such a fearsome forbidden jutsu in his teens, even for a genius, was excessively astonishing.
If he were to escape, in a few years, he could become like the 'White Fang,' capable of single-handedly striking fear into the Sand Ninja.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust World Method!"
Rasa went all out.
Sharp golden spears grew continuously like a forest, seemingly trying to seal and pierce through the battlefield.
"Fire Fist!"
Uchiha Takashi charged his right hand and unleashed it.
The Yang Spirit half-body also mirrored the action.
Boom! A terrifying pillar of fire erupted, obliterating everything in its path, surging towards Rasa.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cushion!"
Though he could block it head-on, Rasa chose not to. Instead, he leaped into the air, forming a platform of gold dust beneath his feet, allowing him to hover.
At this moment, the ground was already sealed by countless golden spears, like a 'cage' restricting the Yang Spirit half-body's movement.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cube!"
Rasa continued his assault, not giving Uchiha Takashi a moment to breathe.
Rustle!
A massive cube of gold dust slowly floated and condensed under the influence of the Magnet Release, hovering ominously.
If thousands of tons of metal were to crash down from above, how devastating would the impact be?
Catastrophic!
The only weakness was the jutsu's slow activation speed, and the target was too conspicuous, making it easy for a highly mobile ninja to evade.
But Rasa's timing was impeccable.
First, he used the Gold Dust World Method to seal the battlefield, then unleashed this jutsu.
"As expected of a Kage-level powerhouse!"
Uchiha Takashi recognized the opponent's strategy and couldn't help but admire it.
If he wanted to evade, he would have to abandon the 'Yang Spirit' jutsu he had activated.
If he used Sage Mode, he was confident he could defeat the opponent.
However, since he still had strength left, he could retreat without using Sage Mode, preserving it for later.
After all, what he needed was 'leverage.'
Being able to retreat unscathed from a full-powered Kage-level opponent was enough to gain leverage; he didn't need to reveal Sage Mode.
"Let me test the limits of my normal state!"
Uchiha Takashi consumed a soldier pill, preparing to unleash his full power without Sage Mode.
With Hyuga Aotsuki around, he wasn't worried about any surprises.
Raising his right index finger, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the light dimmed.
This was because all the heat and light were being absorbed by the pure white flame on Yang Spirit's index finger.
Gold Dust Cube VS Orochi Slash! Two incredibly terrifying jutsus were about to collide.
