Inside the valley, Ginkaku once again activated his Tailed Beast Chakra cloak. Having tasted the power of "Amaterasu," he immediately switched targets and launched an attack on Uchiha Hikari.
"Take this!"
Having released two ocular techniques in succession, Light's face was already covered in blood, and her vision was somewhat blurred. She only heard a sharp whistling sound approaching, and she quickly clasped her hands together, "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
She raised her head and spat out a flame that transformed into a lifelike dragon head, carrying heat and high temperature to meet the slash!
With a "crack," the fire dragon was split in two from the center. Accompanied by Ginkaku's rampant laughter, the sword light was unstoppable!
Facing the increasingly approaching Seven Star Sword, Uchiha Hikari's eyes were lit up.
Just then, her eyes blurred, and a slightly thin figure stood in front of her.
A dark, skeletal hand reached out, and with lightning speed, it received the slash with a "clang," gripping the Seven Star Sword in its palm.
In the rolling black mist, Shin'yu stared coldly at Ginkaku, his two Mangekyo eyes flickering with a clear, cold light.
"Damn brat, you're pretty fast!" Ginkaku grinned.
The Seven Star Sword seemed to be embedded in a giant mountain, and for a moment, he couldn't pull it out. Seeing another skeletal arm raised high, he immediately abandoned the sword and retreated.
"What a troublesome one." Ginkaku silently chanted the incantation to put away the Crimson Gourd, freeing up his other hand.
"I'll feint, you find a chance to use your ocular technique to finish him." Shin'yu quickly said, blue light lingering around his hands, and icy blue Chakra surged like blades.
Before Uchiha Hikari could respond, she saw the black skeletal arm suddenly raise and toss the Seven Star Sword high into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Shin'yu's figure also disappeared from the spot.
Ginkaku's heart skipped a beat. He had been distracted by the Seven Star Sword in the air, and the fatal Chakra Blade slashed head-on, but he had already lost the initiative to counterattack.
He almost burst out with all his strength to deflect his body. The blade light flashed past, and with a "swoosh," half of his silver hair scattered like snow.
"My hair!"
Ginkaku roared and pounced on Shin'yu, his burly body blocking the sunlight, like a man-eating tiger.
After only a few exchanges, Shin'yu was already struggling to cope.
Faced with Ginkaku's fierce offensive, he was hard-pressed to parry, and he could barely keep up with his speed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After a few rounds, he had already been hit by Ginkaku several times!
If it weren't for the Susanoo, he would have been seriously injured long ago. The terrifying force was even causing the bones of the skeletal armor to crack faintly.
"Heh, it seems this is the limit of my normal state."
Shin'yu's expression was solemn, and he began to secretly accumulate power.
"Eight Gates Release Formation, Opening Gate, open."
A faint blue vein bulged on his forehead.
"Gate of Rest, open!"
His hair fluttered, his black clothes moved without wind, and his body became flushed like a shrimp due to the blood rushing through it, even beginning to emit a faint heat.
"Gate of Life, open!"
With a *"Boom"* and a surge of turbulent airflow, Shin'yu spread his arms, a flowing wind surrounding him, igniting into substantial cyan energy!
At this moment, his physical attributes had exceeded his normal state by 10 times!
Ginkaku only felt a blur before his eyes, and a crimson, ferocious, yet delicate face instantly appeared before him!
Immediately afterward, countless fists and feet transformed into a storm, relentlessly attacking. Ginkaku hurriedly blocked, but was kicked away by a heart-wrenching blow, shooting straight into the ground, plowing out a deep, humanoid gully.
A flash of cyan light, Shin'yu once again killed his way to Ginkaku, the violent energy leaving a straight trail of light in mid-air, his hands entwined with flowing wind, the sharp Chakra Blades condensed like ice.
"Kid! Don't underestimate me!"
Ginkaku roared, shooting out from the flying rubble,to meet Shin'yu.
"It's not over yet! Fourth Gate of Injury, open!"
Shin'yu's speed suddenly increased by a level, his entire being seemingly integrated into the ghostly air. "Autumn Dew on Leaves" cooperated with the Body Flicker Technique to disappear on the spot. The next moment, a fatal chop appeared at the back of Ginkaku's neck!
"Chī!"
Every hair on Ginkaku's body stood on end, desperately twisting his body, only feeling a numbness in his neck, followed by a burning, stinging pain!
"Bastard! I almost had my head chopped off!"
Ginkaku covered his neck, gurgling hot blood seeping through his fingers, his pupils flickering with panic, the cold sweat on his forehead evaporated by the high temperature.
Almost!
It was just a little bit!
He almost had his artery severed!
"Ahhhhh! I'm going to kill you!"
Seemingly responding to his rage, the Nine-Tails Chakra blazed, his entire being shooting towards Shin'yu like a cannonball!
One red and one green ray of light fought madly, rampaging through the valley, fists and palms like wind, sword shadows flashing horizontally, rubble flying everywhere, their figures blurred and invisible.
Only afterimages could be seen crisscrossing, mixed together and impossible to disentangle, only able to barely discern their trajectory by relying on the suddenly exploding stone walls and the rising dust.
Uchiha Hikari looked around, pursing her red lips, her mentality quietly undergoing a slight change.
"Is this his strength? So... the distance between me and him is so great..."
Although entrusted with the important task of delivering the "fatal blow" by Shin'yu, her mood also became complicated.
In the five years of cultivation, both of their strengths had been increasing. If she could be described as "leaping forward," then Shin'yu's growth rate was "a thousand miles a day."
In terms of forbidden techniques, the Spiritualization Technique strengthened his soul. Based on spiritual power, his Yin Release and eye power had been enhanced; and the Eight Gates Release Formation had raised his upper limit even more. With his current strength, he could even open the Gate of Limit at most!
In terms of ninjutsu, under Madara's guidance, he not only mastered a large number of Fire Release ninjutsu, but also improved his chakra micro-control ability. Even small ninjutsu were extremely powerful;
In terms of taijutsu, he received Madara's true teachings, changing his suicidal fighting style to a more swift, efficient, simple, and deadly approach.
As for Genjutsu, in the sparring with Uchiha Hikari, he had gradually become proficient, probably not much worse than Uchiha Itachi in the original timeline, but if the other party used "Tsukuyomi", then that would be another matter, after all, he did not have a Genjutsu eye.
His development of the Mangekyo Sharingan was also not inferior, not to mention the Susanoo, a great weapon.
Uchiha Hikari narrowed her bright eyes, and in her blurred vision, the back of the young man fighting in a bloody battle was reflected.
"Boom!"
Ginkaku slammed his fists into the ground, unleashing a surge of turbulent air. His expression was fierce, his fangs clenched, and his entire body was covered in bloody marks.
He had already experienced the unique nature of Shin'yu's Chakra Blade. It wasn't a simple change in form. The seemingly ordinary blade had an internal Chakra flow like a ceaseless river, forming a perfectly closed circuit within the entire blade, surging endlessly!
Each seemingly simple touch was like being cut by a chainsaw, rendering his Tailed Beast Chakra cloak useless.
A strong wind swept past as Shin'yu leaped up, retracting his limbs in mid-air. Dark ribs manifested at will, enveloping his body like armor.
Ginkaku's eyes flashed fiercely, and the ground beneath his feet shattered. A ferocious headbutt arrived as promised in the next moment.
"Bang!!!"
The sharp horns collided violently with the Susanoo's skeletal frame. The impact alone created a deafening roar, the earth shook and crumbled, and the gale expanded violently.
Shin'yu's figure was thrown far into the sky. He was about to form the hand seals for a Fire Release technique when he discovered a section of golden rope entangled around the ribs outside his body.
"Kid! Did you forget about this move!"
Ginkaku laughed wildly, and with a pull and a tug, Shin'yu was shot back at an even faster speed.
"Absorb it, Purifying Rope!" Ginkaku pulled back his fist, already gathering power. He was waiting for the moment when Shin'yu's Susanoo lost control.
Shin'yu's expression was calm, and he actually reached out and grabbed the Purifying Rope himself!
"???"
"Let me give you a piece of advice, don't use the same trick on me twice." Shin'yu said calmly, his left eye spinning eerily, releasing a bizarre light as it shed blood.
Thanks to Mahoraga, Shin'yu had already completed his adaptation to the three ninja tools!
He pulled the Purifying Rope, repeating Ginkaku's incantation, "Absorb it, Purifying Rope!"
Ginkaku's eyes widened, and his Tailed Beast Chakra cloak instantly dissipated. In that instant, he seemed to lose control of his body, as if he had become disconnected from the world.
"Ugh~" He uncontrollably spat out a blue mist, which was his Kotodama.
"How is that possible? How could the Purifying Rope backfire on me!?" Ginkaku's pupils contracted violently. "What did you do!"
Of course, Shin'yu wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. He rubbed his hands together, and a materialized Chakra Blade pierced Ginkaku's chest, using the enormous kinetic energy from the sky to pin him firmly to the ground!
That wasn't the end of it. A bone arm grew out of the Susanoo's ribs, lifting slightly as if catching something.
Shin'yu jumped in place, and the bone arm swung down with force. A silver light flashed, reflecting Ginkaku's panicked face on the flowing blade.
That was... the Seven Star Sword!
"Damn it! Could it be that he had already calculated the time and landing point!?"
"Curse it, Seven Star Sword!"
With a "shlick" sound, Ginkaku turned his head, and one of his ears was cut off. Along with it, the slowly falling Kotodama was also severed.
Shin'yu stepped on Ginkaku's chest and reached into his pocket, where the Crimson Gourd was stored.
"Damn it!!!!!" Ginkaku roared in anger. "I'll make you pay the price!!!!"
He clapped his palms together with a "smack," and the surrounding airflow surged violently. Hot and heavy Tailed Beast Chakra emerged from his body, transforming into a long tail that swept wildly. Shin'yu immediately withdrew from his attack range.
Dust and gravel floated slightly, a massive power was rising, and deep crimson Chakra flowed like purgatory lava, enveloping Ginkaku within.
Suddenly, crackling sounds erupted from within the lava, swelling violently in an instant. Before Shin'yu's astonished gaze, a burly figure clad in skeletal armor roared towards the heavens!
"That is..."
