"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Tetsuhiro had no idea why he was being attacked, and anger began to stir in his chest.
He had wanted to ask what was going on, but his opponent gave him no chance. Every move was lethal, the kind reserved for an enemy.
Left with no choice, Tetsuhiro could only defend with all his might, repeatedly using Wood Release and repulsive force to protect himself.
The two raced through the air as they fought, locked in a fierce exchange of attacks and defenses.
The people throughout the city were so frightened that they fell to their knees, not daring even to raise their heads.
They had never seen His Majesty and the great general fight like this. The fluctuations of their power made the entire Royal Palace tremble.
Before long, Tetsuhiro realized something was wrong. We can't keep fighting like this.
There were many civilians and officials around the Royal Palace. If they kept going, innocent people were bound to get hurt!
He feinted, then immediately launched himself toward the outskirts of the city.
"Follow me if you've got the guts! Don't hurt innocent people here!" Madara snorted coldly and chased after him without hesitation.
They flew out from the center of Pangaea Castle, passing over rows upon rows of houses and rushing rivers before finally landing in a deserted valley...
Towering peaks rose into the clouds on either side of the valley, their slopes steep. A wide river flowed between them, its water clear enough to see the bottom.
"Hah!" The instant Madara landed, he eagerly struck first, forming hand seals. "Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
An enormous fireball erupted from his mouth and swept toward Tetsuhiro with the force to burn everything to ashes.
Tetsuhiro's gaze sharpened. "You're seriously trying to kill me?"
