Fire Release Chakra Mode!

Boom!

Uchiha Jin descended wreathed in flames, scorching heat spreading outward from him like waves and rapidly withering the surrounding flowers and grass!

This was not simply covering his Body Surface with a layer of flames. It was the Fire Release Chakra Mode Uchiha Jin had developed by combining chakra with the Flame-Flame Fruit!

With the Flame-Flame Fruit's enhancement, Uchiha Jin's affinity for Fire Release ninjutsu had been pushed to the limit! He did not even need to form seals, having reached the point where he could use it as he pleased!

Uchiha Jin had also developed many new techniques through it!

This Fire Release Chakra Mode was one of them!

Although Uchiha Jin's Fire Release Chakra Mode did not enhance his Physical fitness as terrifyingly as A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it combined offense and defense and had many other uses!

"Uchiha ninja, I admit that I underestimated you!"

"But I won't give you even the slightest chance from here on out!"

A stood not far across from Uchiha Jin, his entire Body Surface crackling with electricity. He was completely unscathed, without a single trace of injury.

The powerful defensive power brought by Lightning Release Chakra Mode was enough for A to ignore most attacks!

However, being sent flying in a head-on clash was no different from losing ground in the area he was most proud of. That was even more unbearable to A than being injured!

"Enough talk. Wild Bite: Flash!"

Uchiha Jin had no intention of chatting with A. His figure flashed, appearing before A, and he threw a hook at A's cheek!

"So fast!"

A's pupils contracted slightly, stunned by the speed Uchiha Jin had displayed!

If A had not already been accustomed to high-speed movement, he would not have been able to catch sight of Uchiha Jin at all!

Yet that only made A's fury surge!

"Don't look down on me! Heavy Stream Burst!"

A roared and nimbly twisted sideways, meeting Uchiha Jin's fist with an Elbow Strike!

As everyone knows, Uchiha Clan ninja were renowned for their Dōjutsu, ninjutsu, and Genjutsu!

Yet Uchiha Jin was using Taijutsu to fight him!

Using his own weakness to attack the enemy's strength!

A felt utterly insulted!

Of course, if Uchiha Jin knew what A was thinking, he would probably not know whether to laugh or cry!

Compared to Taijutsu, Uchiha Jin was indeed better at ninjutsu, especially large-scale destructive ninjutsu!

But against A, whose defense was beyond ordinary, Uchiha Jin could only break through his defenses and inflict greater damage by using single-point attacks that concentrated his chakra even further!

Just like this Wild Bite of his!

Boom!

A layer of Orange-Red flames, nearly solidified into substance, covered Uchiha Jin's fist. Just as it was about to collide with A's elbow, it erupted violently, engulfing half of A's body!

A massive impact burst out at A's side, sending him flying before his Heavy Stream Burst could even take effect!

A let out a pained scream! He flipped through the air, quickly steadied himself, and landed firmly on the ground!

Though the flames unleashed by Wild Bite were not as fierce as Fire Fist, their heat had been compressed, greatly raising the flames' temperature!

Large areas of Burns appeared on A's right arm and neck!

His skin had wrinkled tightly together, with numerous blisters forming on it!

The unrelenting pain made even a tough man like A grimace uncontrollably!

"Damn it!"

A gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at Uchiha Jin, then raised a hand and wiped it across the burned areas of his body!

One blister after another was brutally torn open by A, and his pained expression became incomparably savage!

While the blisters would affect A's movements, even Uchiha Jin felt his teeth ache at such a brutal method of dealing with them!

A truly was the Ninja World's number one brute!

"Righteous Thunder Angry Thunder Axe!"

A roared, turning his pain into strength. The electricity around his entire body surged as he leaped into the air and brought down a kick at Uchiha Jin!

The gale struck his face. Uchiha Jin did not dare take the blow head-on, kicking off with both feet and leaving behind two Charred Black footprints as his figure instantly vanished from the spot!

A narrowed his eyes as realization flashed through his mind. He swiftly locked onto Uchiha Jin's figure, slightly reducing the force in his leg but not stopping his attack!

With a deafening boom, the ground within dozens of meters of where A landed shattered apart!

A quickly adjusted his posture. Borrowing the force of that kick, his speed more than doubled, and though he moved later, he arrived first, instantly appearing before Uchiha Jin and chopping toward him with a Hand Blade!

"Raikiri!"

Electricity flashed as high-quality Lightning Release chakra condensed into an electric blade and struck Uchiha Jin's neck!

With a bang, Uchiha Jin's body burst into flames and swept toward A!

The distance was too short—A had no time to dodge!

But the flames were not particularly hot. With a flash, A charged out of the blaze without suffering the slightest injury!

"A Fire Clone..."

A quickly steadied himself and searched the area for Uchiha Jin.

He had already seen through Uchiha Jin's abilities. The next strike would decide victory or defeat!

Although Uchiha Jin's speed appeared evenly matched with his, it was not true speed in the strict sense!

Before every movement, Uchiha Jin gathered a large amount of fire beneath his feet, using the force of its eruption to achieve his so-called high-speed movement!

This was also a different kind of Fire Instant Body Technique, much faster than an ordinary Body Flicker Technique!

But this Fire Instant Body Technique had one enormous flaw!

It lacked flexibility!

Not only could the impact of the fire's eruption only propel Uchiha Jin in straight lines at high speed, but it also reduced his reaction speed while moving!

A had already confirmed this during their earlier exchange!

Even A's sudden burst of acceleration just now had been inspired by Uchiha Jin's Fire Instant Body Technique!

Furthermore, A had discovered that Uchiha Jin's Physical fitness was actually far inferior to his own after activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Though the two exchanges between Uchiha Jin and him had appeared to be direct clashes, their bodies had never truly made contact!

Each time, the flames gathered around Uchiha Jin's fist erupted just before their bodies could collide!

That was also the main reason A had been blasted away twice in succession!

If his Lightning Release Chakra Mode worked internally—a Nintaijutsu that greatly enhanced every aspect of the body's Physical fitness—then Uchiha Jin's Fire Release Chakra Mode worked externally, more like a ninjutsu!

Before he could even attack Uchiha Jin, Uchiha Jin had already attacked him!

If this continued, he would definitely be the one at a disadvantage!

But A had already devised a way to deal with it!

He was guaranteed to win this battle!

A secretly gathered chakra. Then, he suddenly turned to look at a spot not far to his left, Bright Light flashing in his eyes!

"Found you!"
