Fighting Four Brutes
Upon hearing the loud bang, everyone present stopped fighting and looked toward the thick smoke coming from the source of the sound.
At this moment, the thick smoke slowly dissipated, revealing an astonishing scene: Shiro and Ai stood facing each other, with a huge crater between them!
Meanwhile, the people of Cloud Village were surprised to find that A's Lightning Release Armor was at full power, with streaks of electricity flashing and crackling from time to time!
On the other side, Shiro was also surrounded by misty Chakra, and beneath that layer of Chakra, blue patterns covered his entire body, making him look incredibly eerie!
At this point, the two of them were using their full strength. Shiro had already used the energy stored in his Magic Crest, and A was also refining a large amount of Chakra.
The reason they fought to this extent can be traced back to when they first started fighting.
After exchanging opponents with Taichi, Shiro didn't hesitate at all. With a thought, the patterns of his Reinforcement Magecraft instantly covered his limbs, and then he charged towards Ai!
It's not that Shiro doesn't use his Noble Phantasm, but rather that it's not very useful. Shiro has just unleashed his Noble Phantasm once, and forcibly unleashing it again now would be a huge burden on him.
The Cloud Village now has a constant stream of support, while Shiro and his group basically only have this many people. The risk is too great, and Shiro dares not take the risk.
Since the unreleased Noble Phantasm was unlikely to harm this brute, Shiro simply charged forward and challenged Ai to a duel of Taijutsu.
When Ai saw Shiro charging towards him, he grinned, clenched his fists, and confidently attacked Shiro!
Ai was somewhat incredulous that anyone would dare to challenge them in Taijutsu these days, so he underestimated them a little. However, while brute force was their fighting style, they took Shiro very seriously.
In the words of Shiro's previous life, this is called underestimating the enemy strategically but taking the enemy seriously tactically. Therefore, the punch aimed at Shiro was a genuine all-out attack!
Yes, this is the full-force attack of the current Lightning Release Armor.
However, after exchanging a punch with Shiro, he was surprised to find that Shiro's strength was not much weaker than his own, so Shiro was not knocked back!
Upon seeing this, she paused for a moment before quickly launching an attack on Shiro.
At first, it was just the two people's fists colliding, then their hands started to use certain techniques, and then their elbows and shoulders started to be used.
Finally, the two used every part of their bodies to engage in a fierce battle, causing the art style to gradually change from Hokage to Dragon Ball.
The two fought with increasing gusto. Ai, needless to say, had few rivals in the village; there were very few, if any, people who could fight him so fiercely.
His reckless nature is inherited, so his father was also a reckless man who couldn't control his power at all; as long as he didn't kill anyone, that was fine. Therefore, there weren't many battles that could get his blood pumping like this.
Shiro is in a similar situation. As Shiro's strength improves, he no longer needs to Reinforcement Magecraft Shiro Mana Burst when sparring with Dai.
Because once you use it, Shiro will completely outclass Dai, and you won't experience anything at all.
Of course, things would be different if Dai opened Eight Gates, but with Dai's stubbornness—he wouldn't even open Eight Gates for a demonstration—how could he possibly be used for training with Shiro?
Therefore, after Shiro enhanced his Reinforcement Magecraft and Mana Burst, it became very difficult to find Taijutsu ninja of equal strength to spar with.
Well, Sakumo is alright, his pure Taijutsu are also good, but the problem is that Sakumo is too strong, and he is a technical type, Shiro still doesn't get a feel for him.
Therefore, this battle with Ai can be said to be Shiro's first time engaging in such Taijutsu.
However, although the two gradually got into the swing of things, they never forgot their mission; it's just that the current battle was part of the mission.
However, Eko was not satisfied with this level of fighting, so after exchanging a punch with Shiro and being forced back, he suddenly gathered his Chakra.
Lightning Release: Lariat!
When he gathered enough Lightning Release Chakra in his right hand, he charged towards Shiro!
Shiro remained calm, waving his hands in front of his chest before abruptly stopping, simultaneously preparing to Mana Burst!
Then, he rushed towards Ai. Just before making contact with Ai, Shiro took a sidestep and threw out his right fist, which carried a large amount of Chakra released through Mana Burst. The fist collided violently with Ai's Lariat!
After a brief standoff, the two separated again, leaping backward simultaneously, preparing for another charge!
The difference this time is that they're going all out!
"Drink it!"
With a roar, the Lightning Armor on his body crackled with electricity, becoming even more solid than before, and at the same time, there was a subtle change that was not yet visible on the surface.
Ai's physical activation level has increased once again! Both his speed and strength are far superior to what they were just now!
Meanwhile, Shiro wasn't idle either. He shook his right hand, then continued to vigorously wave both hands in front of his chest, loosening his joints.
At the same time, the Magic Crest on his right forearm slowly lit up, and a continuous supply of Chakra provided power to Shiro. With the support of this massive amount of Chakra, Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft patterns, activated at maximum power, began to spread throughout his body!
Furthermore, bursts of misty Chakra began to emanate from Shiro's body!
This is the strongest state that Shiro has developed so far. Not only is the Reinforcement Magecraft operating at full power, but the Mana Burst is also at the same level!
Shiro's mastery of the "Mana Burst" skill is not high, and it doesn't significantly increase his power. Moreover, such skills only become effective with consistent practice over time.
Therefore, Shiro specifically developed this state, which caused a qualitative change by releasing a large amount of Chakra. However, because the amount of Chakra was so large, Shiro could not control it precisely.
So, Shiro simply developed it into a continuous skill, that is, to Mana Burst continuously! That's why there are those misty Chakra around Shiro.
In this state, Shiro's strength and speed are greatly amplified, and because of the Mind's Eye's Eye, Shiro can also perfectly control the power in this state!
In terms of destructive power alone, it has reached the level of Elite Jonin!
Unfortunately, the battery life is too short and the charging time is too long. It truly takes two hours to charge and only provides five seconds of battery life!
That's not all. Right now, Shiro's annual energy storage can only last for 3 minutes of combat. After 3 minutes, Shiro will have to switch to a power bank to continue fighting!
After that, the two clashed again, drawing the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
However, neither of them cared about these things at the moment. After a pause, the two resumed their battle!
This time, it's faster! It's stronger! And therefore, it's more destructive!
Where the two clashed, trees snapped and the ground crumbled, leaving everyone else stunned.
For the first time, they realized that Taijutsu could be so destructive!
