We Are the Same Type of Ability Users

Uchiha Sora did not recognize Muzan, the Progenitor of Demons, but he was no stranger to the three Admirals of the Navy.

Rayquaza was the same; it was an existence he had known well before coming to the ninja world.

This added yet another layer to his theories regarding the platform.

If I initiate a loan, will only existences I am familiar with appear?

"Admiral..."

This highly distinctive title immediately caused Orochimaru to link the giant that had just appeared with the Land of Iron.

According to the intelligence he had gathered, Uchiha Sora and his companion had indeed visited the Land of Iron not long ago.

Impossible, I have been to the Land of Iron, and even Mifune could not possibly be stronger than this guy who calls himself a Vice Admiral!

Magma-like hot breath blew against the tips of Orochimaru's hair, his expression turning grave.

Sakazuki, codenamed Akainu.

Just looking at his stance, one could tell he was terrifyingly strong!

Unlike the sinister temperament of the vast majority of ninjas, this man gave off the feeling of a raging volcano!

"The Land of Iron, could there really be such a person there..."

Sasori of the Red Sands did not know much about that mysterious neutral country, but like Orochimaru, he immediately thought of the Land of Iron.

Orochimaru formed hand seals in preparation and said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be. Regardless, he is a helper summoned by that brat."

"I had already set up a barrier nearby to isolate summoning techniques... the way he summoned him was not a Summoning Jutsu!"

If that is the case...

That means he can still summon that green dragon beast!

Orochimaru had already made up his mind to flee the moment Rayquaza appeared; as for his teammate, Sasori of the Red Sands...

Aren't teammates meant to be sold out?

"This guy looks pretty good, I'll take him; those two Uchihas are yours."

Wanting everything, aren't you afraid of choking to death...

Orochimaru despised Sasori, and the two held each other in mutual contempt.

But at the very least, bearing the title of the legendary Sannin, he wouldn't run away without even putting up a fight.

"It's coming."

BOOM!!

Akainu drew his greatsword and swung it casually, sending out a massive, burning, crescent-shaped slash with overwhelming momentum!

It was not merely a flying slash, but one infused with the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit!

Akainu at this period had not yet fully developed the power of his fruit, preferring a combat style that combined taijutsu with his fruit's abilities.

As for his swordsmanship level...

It was at a level where he would be mentioned whenever the world's strongest swordsmen were discussed!

BANG!

Orochimaru slammed his palms onto the sandy ground, raising several thick Earth Style barriers in succession.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

The flaming slash shattered the Earth Walls like dry wood.

Across a charred, elongated trench, Akainu looked at Orochimaru, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Is he a natural-type ability user of the magma-earth variety?"

Ninjas were a different power system.

With his Observation Haki, he couldn't determine how Orochimaru was altering the terrain; if one called it a fruit ability, it didn't quite fit.

It seemed as though he was using the energy within his body to achieve effects similar to an ability user...

Uchiha Sora walked to his side, looking like a kitten compared to his three-meter-tall frame.

"It's hard to explain in a short time, but in short, since you possess an elemental body, you shouldn't be bitten by venomous snakes."

"Leave that guy to you; we will deal with the puppeteer."

Watching the flames ignite on Uchiha Sora's body, Akainu raised an eyebrow: "You and..."

"That's right, you and I are the same type of ability user."

Uchiha Sora spoke before Akainu could finish, signaled to Shisui, and charged toward Sasori of the Red Sands.

To think such a young brat possesses such formidable power... this world is not to be underestimated.

Akainu focused his gaze on Orochimaru, his Observation Haki fully unleashed.

Orochimaru sensed an unusual gaze sweeping over his body... Is this a sensory ninjutsu? The level is quite high!

He spread his arms and said slowly, "What should I call you, friend? We don't necessarily have a reason to fight, do we?"

Akainu let out a cold snort, stepped forward, and instantly appeared before Orochimaru, his giant blade slicing his body in half at the waist!

"I caught the scent of your evil long ago..."

"As a Marine, I bear the weight of the world's justice!"

"Now..."

"It is time to execute it!!"

Violent volcanic magma erupted, completely engulfing Orochimaru's severed body!!

"That man... why does he give me the feeling of what you might look like when you grow up, Sora..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm the handsome type; I won't grow up to look like that."

"That's not what I meant..." Shisui clicked his tongue and said, "Who is he? Did you summon him? Is he a summoning beast that resembles a human?"

"Why do you have so many questions, kid?"

Uchiha Sora pointed to his eyes and said nonchalantly, "For questions you can't figure out, just assume it's the ability of my Sharingan."

"Is that so..."

Shisui actually accepted this explanation.

As they spoke, the two had already approached Sasori of the Red Sands, leaping forward to strike with their blades.

Sasori of the Red Sands sneered, not the least bit flustered: "Ignorant brats, you don't run away, but instead launch an attack on me?"

"Shisui, his true body is hidden inside this puppet."

"Underneath the puppet is yet another puppet. He has modified himself into a human puppet; find his core and destroy it!"

"Right, don't give him time to unseal his scrolls. He has a human puppet of a Magnet Release ninja. If we fail to stop him from releasing it, be careful not to use iron weapons, and keep your chakra covering your blade at all times."

"Understood! Your Sharingan is truly too powerful!"

It must be Sora's eyes, intelligence seen from the future.

Truly remarkable. Perhaps you are the one who truly deserves to possess the Sharingan!

Uchiha Sora spoke loudly, and Sasori heard him as well.

No...

Are they insane?! Do they think I don't know how the Sharingan works?!

What's with the act of predicting the future and peering into hearts!

Damn it! Who leaked my intelligence!

Orochimaru?!

No... he doesn't know about the Third Kazekage. Only two people know I possess that puppet.

Konan and the Leader...

Eliminating the impossible, even though Sasori was unwilling to believe it...

The organization actually sold me out!

Is this a trap aimed at me!!

A few sentences were enough to throw Sasori's mind into chaos.

The core is also a heart.

Clang!!

Hiruko's iron tail parried Shisui's blade, and Sasori said coldly, "Did Konan tell you?"

"What did she promise you? Is it that if you kill me, you'll be allowed to join the Akatsuki?"

Uchiha Sora grinned: "Since you've guessed it, why not obediently accept your death and save that Konan the trouble of having to do it herself?"

In the distance, Orochimaru, fleeing amidst the magma, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Are you an idiot! He's bluffing you, don't just go around selling out the organization's intel!"

He seemed to want to say more, but his head was snatched away by a large hand.

Shisui noticed Orochimaru's state and couldn't help but think to himself.

As expected of Lord Orochimaru, still so full of energy even after being hacked into several pieces.

Sasori of the Red Sands felt his mind in turmoil, unsure of which side to believe.

However, one thing was certain...

And that was to kill the two brats in front of him!

Xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu—

Countless Poison Senbon erupted from his iron tail, resembling a rain of arrows.

Shisui hurriedly retreated, and as his body brushed past Uchiha Sora, a torrent of flame slash surged forth.

Fire Style Chakra Mode...

Flowing Blade Flame Slash!!

The essence of borrowing was to draw upon power, not merely to summon someone over to help.

Although he and Akainu were not in the same place, the power of the contract linked them together.

Just like the energy from Rayquaza before, Uchiha Sora could sense the flow of Akainu's energy.

It was simply that he had chosen not to draw upon Akainu's energy to use.

So, that is to say...

Sakazuki, we are the same type.

You are the most suitable person!!

Thoughts burst forth in Uchiha Sora's mind one after another, the color of the flames swirling around his body gradually deepening, the temperature rising higher and higher.

Whoosh!!!

The slash resembled a burning, falling crescent moon, engulfing Sasori of the Red Sands!

BOOM!!!!
