Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Flash of Lightning in Sage Mode
"Fire Release ~ Great Fire Annihilation!"
Boom!
Sasuke suddenly spewed out terrifying flames from his mouth.
In an instant, they spread and engulfed everything.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Bridge of the Land of Waves
A bridge as wide as over twenty meters was completely covered in flames in an instant.
It was as if a massive wave of fire had been summoned in a split second.
The terrifying flames roared forward.
The red glow immediately lit up half the sky.
Danzo couldn't help but gasp sharply.
'This... this Fire Release…'
'I thought this brat's Lightning Release had already reached its terrifying peak... But I didn't expect his Fire Release to also…'
One person!
To master two types of elemental releases to such an extreme level, this was something even Hiruzen Sarutobi had never achieved.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi was the "Professor of Ninjutsu," who mastered the Five Great Elements of Ninjutsu,
Even as a professor, he couldn't cultivate any one element to the utmost perfection.
Yet Sasuke had done it…
Terrifying!
Danzo stared at the oncoming flames. He only knew Wind Release, and there was no way to counter such a terrifying Fire Release from Sasuke. Unless he used Wood Release!
But with Wood Release, there was also a risk of him getting... caught up in it himself.
Crackle!! Buzz!!
The roaring flames suddenly erupted, extending nearly a hundred meters in distance.
Obito stared at the raging firestorm on the bridge.
His eye beneath the mask widened even further.
"What terrifying Fire Release… As expected of a monster from the Uchiha clan. This level of Fire Release has already surpassed the power of typical S-rank ninjutsu, hasn't it?"
Zetsu nodded. "If he continues to grow like this, he might even rival the likes of Madara Uchiha someday!"
Madara?
Obito frowned. If Sasuke truly reached such a level, his plans would definitely require Sasuke's assistance.
Although the power of this Fire Release was immense, it had almost completely exhausted the sage chakra that Sasuke had accumulated in his body.
The two of them could clearly sense that Sasuke's chakra levels had weakened significantly.
"Amazing power, but it consumes an equally amazing amount of chakra…"
"Using so much chakra to execute this ninjutsu, and yet it still couldn't kill Danzo what's the purpose of all this?"
Zetsu asked with some curiosity.
Shaking his head, Obito didn't know what Sasuke intended to do next either.
Although Sasuke's body was autonomously absorbing natural energy and refining it into Sage Chakra,
it still required time!
It wasn't possible to recover to the previous level immediately. Consuming such a large amount of chakra to use a single Fire Release jutsu felt somewhat uneconomical.
Even though this jutsu could force Danzo to expend one Sharingan.
If Obito were fighting Danzo, he would prioritize maintaining enough chakra for himself,
then look for opportunities to steadily wear down Danzo's Sharingan.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to win this battle.
However, Sasuke's approach was different!
The reason was simple the more chakra Sasuke had, the harder it was for him to control his breathing.
To minimize the burden, he chose to release a large amount of Sage Chakra in one go,
while also consuming one of Danzo's revival chances.
'Eight lives left!'
Sasuke's lips curled into a faint smile.
'Thunder Breathing!'
His Mangekyou Sharingan spun at full power.
Controlling his breathing while fully unleashing the ocular power of his Mangekyou Sharingan wasn't an easy task.
Having too much chakra would interfere with Sasuke.
When using Thunder Breathing, the power released was equivalent to the Sage Chakra passively refined by absorbing natural energy.
The only difference was that, through a special breathing technique, the passively generated chakra would be instantly converted into lightning.
And the amount was astonishing. If the base chakra reserve was too large, the burden would become even heavier.
Exhaling lightly,
Sasuke's eyes scanned through the flames.
He spotted Danzo's figure at the weakest point of the fire.
In an instant, lightning flashed in Sasuke's eyes.
'Thunder Breathing!'
'First Form!'
'Thunderclap and Flash!'
Sasuke made a sword-drawing motion, capturing Obito's full attention.
However, even though Obito had prepared himself,
the next second, a streak of lightning flashed past!
Obito was stunned. Even with his Sharingan, he couldn't clearly see Sasuke's movement.
Fast!
So fast, like lightning itself.
Even the Sharingan struggled to keep up.
Zzz~
The faint sound of electricity crackled, and with a single flash of lightning, the sea of flames was split in two.
Danzo's figure had just appeared, and in the next moment, before he could react,
his body felt as if it was split in half.
Behind him, Sasuke's blade scraped swiftly against the ground,
sending up a trail of sparks.
A fiery streak accompanied by thunder left Obito completely dumbfounded.
Black Zetsu was equally astonished.
What kind of technique was this?
Taijutsu?
Or Ninjutsu-taijutsu?
This was the first time seeing such a technique.
Such powerful Ninjutsu-taijutsu the power was terrifying!
But it wasn't over yet.
Danzo couldn't even process his thoughts before Izanagi was activated once again.
At that moment, Sasuke himself was slightly surprised. The power unleashed by Thunder Breathing under Sage Mode left even Sasuke himself in awe.
So fast!
So powerful!
If not for the special ocular jutsu and enhanced perception given to him by the system,
he might not even be able to handle such speed himself.
But this power satisfied Sasuke greatly.
'Seven lives left... Well then, let's continue! Danzo, let's see if you can fully experience my Thunder Breathing!'
"'Thunder Breathing!'"
Suddenly, Sasuke's low voice echoed.
"'First Form!'"
"'Thunderclap and Flash ~ Sixfold!'"
Swish swish swish!!!
Three flashes of lightning instantly appeared. Danzo, who had just reappeared, felt intense pain overwhelm him.
Both his arms were severed in an instant, and even his waist and abdomen seemed to be torn apart by a single strike.
Swish swish swish!!
Three more streaks of lightning slashed out, dismembering Danzo completely.
Feeling Sasuke's incredibly fast attacks, Danzo's eyes trembled slightly.
'This… This is… that Ninjutsu-taijutsu?'
'As Jiraiya said, it's certainly no weaker than the Eight Gates technique…'
'With the support of Sage Chakra, this technique… might even surpass the Eight Gates…'
Danzo now had six lives remaining.
However, this time Danzo reappeared at a further distance.
Sasuke also needed a moment to catch his breath. Using the First Form seven times consecutively was taxing, even for Sasuke.
As Danzo reappeared, he gasped heavily. Although his injuries had disappeared,
the impression left in his mind was etched deeply and unmistakably.
