Chapter 246: Fire Release, I, Uchiha Madara, Acknowledge You as the Strongest!
Chapter 246: Fire Release, I, Uchiha Madara, Acknowledge You as the Strongest!
Uchiha Madara confidently said, "Brat, show me what you've got and let's see if you're worthy of dancing!"
Even though he had seen Dong Ping's name in the intelligence reports from the White Zetsu Army, he didn't remember it.
For Madara, there weren't many people worth remembering their names.
Dong Ping didn't get angry because of Madara's attitude.
Because that's how Madara was, and he had the qualifications to act like that.
Having fought countless battles in the ninja world, only Senju Hashirama could rival him.
It wasn't difficult to earn Madara's respect.
All he had to do was defeat him.
Whoosh!
Flames emerged from his gloves, enveloping his body and transforming it into a tangerine-colored veil.
Flame Cloak!
This core ninja technique was complete.
"Not bad!"
Madara instantly understood the purpose of Flame Cloak and acknowledged the technique.
Don't think this is an understatement; for Madara, who had witnessed countless ninja techniques and secret arts, even S-rank techniques might not impress him.
Whoosh!
Dong Ping used the Instant Body Technique to charge forward, preparing for close combat.
If I can't beat you at your prime, how can I beat you in your old age, near-death, and disabled (with eyes other than the Rinnegan)?
Boom! Boom!
But before Dong Ping could even get halfway, he was kicked away.
"Brat, your combat awareness is too weak!"
Madara's annoying voice echoed.
Perhaps, for someone who had fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Dong Ping's taijutsu was indeed inferior.
"Is that so!"
Dong Ping got up, jumped, and flipped in mid-air, smashing his right leg towards Madara.
Solo Slaughter!
The move seemed simple, but its speed was astonishing.
When in mid-air, the flames erupted, providing acceleration, enhancing both attack power and speed.
Phoenix Flow Body Technique!
Dong Ping created this technique based on a protagonist's move from a game. He wasn't sure if it was powerful, but it was undeniably cool.
The perfect fusion of flames and taijutsu, both dazzling and formidable.
However, Madara effortlessly countered Dong Ping's attacks.
Boom! Boom!
Their fists and feet clashed.
Dong Ping felt that if it weren't for Madara's current frail state, where a mere touch could knock him down, fighting him in his prime would be a suicidal move.
After exchanging blows for several rounds, Dong Ping seized the opportunity to retreat, and Madara didn't pursue him.
"The warm-up is over!"
Dong Ping took out a tube of Onsen from his tactical belt and crushed it.
A surge of natural energy flowed into his body.
At their current distance, Madara could easily interrupt Dong Ping if he wanted to.
But Dong Ping firmly believed that Madara wouldn't do that.
Yes, Madara was indeed arrogant and domineering, only willing to defeat his enemies head-on.
Otherwise, with his relationship with Senju Hashirama, if he had acted in secret, even the God of Shinobi would have struggled to withstand him.
Therefore, when the White-eyed Wolf impersonated Madara in the future, people became suspicious.
Because no one believed that Uchiha Madara would hide like a rat in the gutter, afraid of the light.
"Not bad. Although your Sage Mode is far inferior to 'Hashirama', it's still worthy of my evaluation!"
Feeling the domineering and fiery aura emanating from Dong Ping, Madara finally took him a little more seriously.
"Madara-sama, let me assist you!"
White Zetsu emerged from the ground beside Madara.
In Madara's current state, with his trachea severed, he could collapse at any moment, let alone fight a powerful opponent in Sage Mode.
"Hmm!"
Madara didn't refuse.
He was well aware that his current condition might lead to unexpected situations, so having White Zetsu's assistance was necessary.
With Madara's permission, White Zetsu wrapped around him like a stream of water.
Madara's originally frail and weak body began to brim with vitality.
The overwhelming pressure made it difficult to breathe.
"Is this Uchiha Madara?"
Hyuga Cangyue, waiting on the edge of the battlefield for an opportunity to strike, muttered to herself.
Even though she had heard of Madara's legend, without witnessing it firsthand, she didn't have a strong sense of his power. Now, seeing him in person, she could finally appreciate his awe-inspiring aura and strength.
And this was just a severely weakened version; it was hard to imagine how powerful he was in his heyday.
At this moment, Dong Ping successfully entered Sage Mode.
A flame pattern appeared on his glabella.
Apart from his forehead, there were no other flame patterns on his body.
This proved his growth in Sage Mode.
In the past, flame patterns covered his cheeks.
"Let the flames purify everything!"
Dong Ping switched states.
At this moment, he was a 'Sage', completely different from his usual self.
The color of his Flame Cloak changed from the previous golden-orange to white, indicating a change in temperature.
And it didn't stop there.
Gurgle!
The ground began to 'melt', transforming from dirt into viscous lava.
Yes, Dong Ping did not hide his new power at all.
Lava Release!
After nearly mastering Fire Release and Earth Release, it wasn't impossible to create Lava Release.
With years of research and the assistance of Qingming Agent, Dong Ping's knowledge of ninjutsu was profound, and developing Lava Release was not a challenge.
With Lava Release, Dong Ping finally understood why Bloodline Limits were so powerful.
First of all, in terms of chakra!
His chakra levels skyrocketed from over twenty cards to over forty cards in an instant, an almost heaven-defying increase.
Not to mention, when using Lava Release, he acted on pure instinct, and his power and efficiency increased by an unknown multiple.
To illustrate, having a Bloodline Limit was like owning a permanent automated factory, producing finished products as long as materials were provided.
Without a Bloodline Limit, creating a finished product would require manual labor.
Although the end products were the same, the efficiency and consumption were on completely different levels.
It was too tempting!
In the past, Dong Ping felt extremely frustrated with Bloodline Limits, believing they were unfair to ordinary ninjas.
But now that he possessed one, he understood how tempting it was.
The emergence of Lava Release instantly transformed his combat system.
In terms of combat power, he could easily overpower his past self.
The lava on the ground began to cover Dong Ping's body.
Don't misunderstand; he wasn't trying to commit suicide; this was a new technique.
Countless lava streams gathered on Dong Ping, transforming into a set of angular, exquisite, and crimson armor.
Layers of Flame Cloak emanated from the armor, enveloping the lava armor, and the intertwining of the two turned into a dark golden hue, making the armor appear profound and majestic.
Most importantly, it felt substantial.
In the past, the armor was woven from flames, and even if it was large, it always felt 'unreal'.
Now, with Earth Release as its framework, it gave a sense of solidity.
"Sage Spell: Zhu Rong Armor!"
Dong Ping unleashed his strongest defensive Sage Spell.
In terms of defense alone, this armor could rival Powered Armor, except for the lack of additional abilities.
What was the most crucial aspect?
Consumption!
In the past, Dong Ping also had defensive ninjutsu, such as Flame Column Array, Fire Armor Incarnation, Flame Cloak, and more.
But they all prioritized offense over defense, and the consumption was enormous when used continuously.
The greatest advantage of Zhu Rong Armor was that once activated, there was almost no further consumption, and it could be maintained for several hours without issue.
It was like 'piloting a Gundam', reducing maintenance consumption by tenfold or more.
"Sage Spell: Amaterasu Blade!"
Dong Ping grabbed with his right hand, summoning a magnificent orange longsword.
The change in color also proved his growth.
Uchiha Madara, who had not interrupted him, also felt a long-lost excitement and exclaimed,
"Excellent! Among those I've seen, none surpass your Fire Release. In terms of Fire Release, I acknowledge you as the strongest!"
As he spoke, a layer of blue illusory armor appeared on his body.
It was the initial form of Susanoo.
Because of him, without this armor, it would be difficult to even approach Dong Ping in such terrifying heat, let alone fight him.
