"Railgun!"

Utilizing the immense kinetic energy generated by electromagnetic force, the steel coin is launched like a cannonball. The extreme speed and friction in the air produce an orange beam of light, like a laser. The aftershocks alone can tear the ground apart, and the resulting airflow creates strong winds that can lift stones into the air!

Faced with such a ferocious attack, Yotsuki Teki stood there upright, without a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.

"Roar!" A leopard roared.

The steel coin, brimming with immense kinetic energy, came to rest between Yotsuki Teki's brows.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

The black, leopard-shaped lightning bolt, with its fangs seemingly solid, bit down hard on the steel coin.

Yotsuki Teki's eyes flickered. He reached out and took the scorching coin in his hand, saying calmly, "Using the power of Lightning Release to launch a coin is quite a remarkable technique."

"Crack!" The coin shattered and dissipated into dust.

Shunren's face was extremely grim, his gaze fixed on the black lightning leopard swirling around the other man. "An unknown Cloud Ninja actually knows the Raikage's Black Lightning Secret Technique!"

In the original story that Shunren knew, only two people possessed the Black Lightning Secret Technique: the Third Raikage and the Fifth Raikage. However, he had never even heard of this Yotsuki Teki before!

"Unknown?" Yotsuki Teki raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite surprised by Shunren's assessment, and then said, "That's quite interesting. This is truly the first time I've heard such a comment."

Unbeknownst to Shunren, the man standing before him, Yotsuki Teki, was a personal guard of the current Raikage and a renowned and powerful ninja in the Shinobi World —no ordinary nobody. This was understandable, as Shunren was merely a Genin in Konoha, with limited knowledge of the outside world, mostly derived from his memories of the original story.

Even if Shunren didn't know before, he now understands that the unfamiliar "extra" ninja standing in front of him is no ordinary person. His strength is far superior to that of ordinary Jonin, and he is much stronger than the few Stone Ninja with Kekkei Genkai he had encountered before.

"Uchiha Clan brat, do you have any other trump cards? If so, bring them on," Yotsuki Teki said coldly.

Shunren gritted his teeth, flicked his toes, and retracted the Elucidator was standing on into the scabbard on his back. To fight such an enemy with the Elucidator was practically suicide, but he couldn't unleash the Yin Release either, because without the Elucidator's attribute bonus, he would completely lose the minimum requirement to contend with the opponent.

"Is that the only option?" Shunren asked in a deep voice. At this point, he had no other choice.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

A massive, black sword without a handguard —the Zanpakuto, Zangetsu!

"Hmm? This weapon..." Yotsuki Teki was also a perceptive person, and he could tell at a glance that the knife in Shunren's hand was extraordinary. He immediately subconsciously increased the Lightning Release power in his body, not hesitating to activate his physical body to the limit.

"Trying to use Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique to evade?" Shunren frowned. His opponent was clearly cautious; a Jonin, facing an attack from Genin, had brazenly chosen to evade. "Don't even think about escaping!"

Shunren a hand seal with one hand.

"Ninja Art: Mind's Eye!"

Yotsuki Teki vaguely sensed that something had locked onto him, and understood Shunren's actions. Without saying a word, he transformed into a black lightning bolt and flashed around.

Shunren released his spiritual energy to the extreme, barely managing to catch a glimpse of the opponent's afterimage; locking onto it completely was simply impossible!

But he also has the Sharingan!

His scarlet eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

The view in front of me became clearer, and Yotsuki Teki's figure slowed down in my eyes.

The combined effect of Sensory Technique and Dōjutsu...

This allowed Shunren to briefly lock onto his opponent! He raised the Zangetsu high, frantically channeling all his Chakra into it, and swung it forward without any fancy moves.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

A terrifying strike, a crescent-shaped blade of light capable of cleaving mountains in two!

"Huh?! It can actually lock onto me even when I'm in full Lightning Release mode?" Yotsuki Teki only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and that extremely fierce blade of light appeared right in front of him.

Under extreme movement, the immense inertia caused a decrease in agility, and at this point, Yotsuki Teki no longer had time to adjust the Lightning Release power on his body to reposition.

"Since we can't dodge it, let's face it head-on!" The black thunder leopard surged out from Yotsuki Teki's body once more, rushing towards the blade's edge!

Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!

The two sides clashed fiercely. The sharp blade energy brought by the crescent moon ravaged the surrounding land, leaving it desolate. However, the black thunder leopard also turned the land within the blast radius into scorched earth!

"BOOM!!!"

One blue and one black, and in the end, a massive energy explosion occurred!

"Bang!" The shockwave absorbed most of the damage from Yotsuki Teki's thick Lightning Release Armor, but he still suffered some injury, and his clothes were torn to shreds.

However, compared to Yotsuki Teki's injuries, Shunren was truly appalling. His upper body was completely bare, and his body was covered with numerous wounds of all sizes, charred black from being grazed by lightning. He was so unsteady that he could barely stand.

"Huff, huff~" Yotsuki Teki's face turned pale and then red. After several attempts to regulate his breathing, he finally managed to suppress his injuries. Looking at Shunren, his eyes were filled with deep apprehension. He said in a deep voice, "This is truly astonishing. At such a young age, you have actually managed to push me to this point..."

"Crack!" The Zangetsu in Shunren's hand turned into smoke and dust and disappeared, as did the Elucidator on his back.

At this moment, not only was all his Chakra exhausted, but he also suffered extremely serious injuries all over his body. He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

With a weak breath, he forced himself to raise his head, staring intently at the other person, muttering to himself, "This extra... his strength is definitely more than that of Jonin..."

Getsuga Tensho is Shunren's most powerful and strongest finishing move to date. Almost no enemy he has encountered so far has been able to block this attack head-on. Even a master like Inoichi can only Mind Body Disturbance Technique to avoid his finishing move.

Like Yotsuki Teki, who met force with force, using Ninjutsu to directly attack, and even shattered his crescent moon at one point, it was simply terrifying!

"You're quite proud of yourself for fighting me to this extent, kid." Yotsuki Teki clenched his fist. The brief weakness caused by the previous clash had been completely relieved after a period of rest. Shunren's all-out effort had only caused him some injuries!

The truly overwhelming power, Yotsuki Teki Quasi-Kage!
