Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 143 The Battle Against Age Spots: A Tactical Failure

In the Land of Fields, on a barren wasteland hundreds of miles from the nearest town, an old man and a young man stood facing each other.

Beside them, Hei Jue, dressed in all black, looked at the two with a worried expression.

Ning Yuan is his mother's loyal follower, and Ban is a key figure in his plan. Neither of them can afford to get into trouble.

Fortunately, this was just a friendly exchange.

This time, Ban didn't take the risk of letting Ning Yuan attack first, although he was also very curious about the kid's strategy for fighting in the wilderness.

However, his actions still carried the intention of testing his teaching skills.

Try out your physical skills first!

According to normal circumstances, Ban only has six more years to live.

Now, his life, though not quite a flickering candle in the wind, isn't far off.

But when Ning Yuan looked at Ban pouncing on him, he felt a kind of ferocity like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Moreover, that fierce look in his eyes inexplicably reminded Ning Yuan of Hu Jun, who played Zhu Yuanzhang.

Is this the legendary killing intent?

Ning Yuan felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, but quickly regained his composure.

Killing intent is not the same as domineering aura, so what's there to be afraid of?

Even if it's domineering, Ning Yuan feels he can handle it.

He reached out his right hand and slipped it into his left sleeve, and suddenly a gleaming short sword appeared in his hand.

At that moment, Ban's palm arrived right in front of Ning Yuan!

"Weapons? And excellent weapons at that!" Madara's eyes burned even brighter. As expected of a young man who loves a sure victory, he never goes empty-handed if he can use a weapon. That's good!

The next instant, he changed his palm into a grab, trying to snatch Ning Yuan's weapon.

Ning Yuan twirled his short sword in the air, not only dodging the grab but also hooking back with his other hand.

If Madara hadn't dodged quickly, that hook would have struck his wrist.

Even so, they still managed to cut a section of his sleeve.

When Ban missed his grab, he slashed down with his other hand while simultaneously lunging forward to grab!

At some point, his Sharingan had been activated, and now, in his eyes, time seemed to flow slowly!

Madara's natural reaction speed is not slow, not to mention the blessing of the three-tomoe Sharingan. In the battle of such speedsters, there are always eight hundred ideas in a second and eight hundred follow-ups to a single move. They can dodge all of their opponent's attacks through extremely high neural reflexes and make the most suitable counterattack by calculating with their brains.

This isn't a game of layered cakes; it's a crushing defeat of raw power!

Of course, Barry Allen is an exception; he's a disgrace to speedsters and has absolutely no class.

If it were the first time facing such an opponent, Ning Yuan would inevitably be flustered, but he often sparred with Minato and had enough experience to deal with this type of opponent.

There are many effective methods for dealing with this kind of opponent.

First, enhance your own defense, such as by activating Thunder Armor. This way, no matter how many times he hits you, he won't be able to do any damage, but if you hit him once, he won't be able to withstand it.

Second, attack his center of gravity.

Arms and legs can move very quickly, but the waist is very slow, even for people with extremely fast nerve reaction speeds, because that's just how the human body is designed.

Unless you learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows you to change your position from a spatial perspective.

This is called attacking where the enemy must defend; you do your thing, I'll do mine.

Thirdly, use speed to create distance from him. If you can't beat him in close combat, don't engage in close combat. Switch to ninjutsu. No matter how fast your hands are, can they block the flames?

Of course, people with fast reflexes are usually also very fast. If you can't create distance, your defense isn't high, and your attack range is short, then you can just wait to die.

Ningyuan's approach was to first attack what the enemy had to defend.

Ban is quite old and has had tubes inserted in his waist for many years, so his waist is not in good condition. Attacking his waist is obviously a good choice.

Moreover, from a doctor's perspective, Ning Yuan could also notice the subtle inconsistencies in the area around the waist.

This is because Madara transplanted Hashirama's chakra to his chest, and Hashirama's cells then spread from there to the surrounding area.

Ultimately, it's not my own cells, so I can't control it as perfectly as the original.

With a slight bend at the waist, a common dance move, Ning Yuan dodged Ban's grab and slashed horizontally with his short sword, aiming for Ban's waist.

"What a perceptive kid! He's incredibly sharp and has a lightning-fast reaction time. Even without the Sharingan, he managed to react. Did he see my chakra flow? But I clearly didn't see him activate his Byakugan! How could he fight me without activating his Byakugan? Doesn't he have veins when he activates his Byakugan?"

Ban now sees Ningyuan as his successor, so the more outstanding the successor's performance, the better.

Ban bent down to dodge Ning Yuan's attack, but immediately frowned.

I moved too much and my back hurts!

This mutilated body really can't take it anymore!

I really want to die quickly, and then wait for someone to resurrect me!

After several exchanges, Madara retreated several steps, then put one hand on his hip, a satisfied look on his face: "Your taijutsu is quite good. At your age, I would call you the strongest!"

Ning Yuan was speechless. "I think your back hurts so much that you can't continue fighting!"

"But ninja combat isn't just about taijutsu!" Madara said sharply, "There's also ninjutsu!"

"Fire Release: Lightning Dread Summoning!!"

It seems Madara is a vengeful person; he's still upset about the ninjutsu failing him earlier, and now he's using it again.

It's as if it's proving that my technique is actually pretty amazing, but the environment just made it look funny.

This technique originally formed a net of twelve lightning bolts, which was extremely fast and almost completely blocked the enemy's escape route.

Even the Body Flicker Technique might not be able to dodge Lightning Release ninjutsu.

However, Ning Yuan happens to know a technique that completely counters Lightning Release.

"Glassy Windbreaker!" A ninjutsu technique that I've known by heart for a long time, allowing chakra to flow through my body. If I change the chakra attribute to Wind Release, I can use it to counter Lightning Release.

However, although it is said that Wind Release counters Lightning Release, there is actually no obvious counter relationship between Wind Release and Lightning Release. You can see that the collision between Rasengan and Chidori is always a draw.

Therefore, Ning Yuan's condensation is a double-layered trench coat, with a thin vacuum layer in the middle.

Vacuum is the only way to counter lightning.

Because there are no conductive particles in a vacuum, the resistance of a vacuum is infinite.

"He's not afraid of Lightning Release!" Madara didn't know the principles behind ninjutsu, but the fact that his Lightning Release had been broken twice already proved that Ning Yuan had a way to deal with Lightning Release, and he was very skilled at it!

Adding to this his short sword, his skilled hand-to-hand combat, and his methods for dealing with highly agile hand-to-hand combat, Madara had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"Are you Sakumo Hatake's disciple?"

As a rising star in the ninja world, Madara also knew of this person.

If someone is a disciple of Hatake Sakumo and practices with him frequently, they will indeed prepare methods to deal with lightning release techniques.

Moreover, Sakumo Hatake's taijutsu style is somewhat similar to his own, and even more aggressive.

"No!" Ning Yuan instantly understood Madara's thoughts: "But I do have a friend who's skilled in Lightning Release, has incredibly strong taijutsu, and has lightning-fast reflexes. We spar often!"

"I see!" Spot nodded. I knew it. How could someone be so strong in physical combat for no reason? There must be a reason.

"Looks like I have to get serious!" Ban sighed. He was getting old and lacked energy; the methods he could use recklessly when he was young were no longer applicable.

If you're not careful, you might really mess things up.

"Storm Release: Light Fang!" He didn't actually shout it out, but during the battle, Madara suddenly opened his mouth, and a beam of light shot out from it.

Ning Yuan turned his head to the side and dodged it.

"You can dodge that?" Madara was genuinely surprised.

I can understand what kind of ninjutsu you used to block it, since you've blocked it many times before.

But you just turned your head and dodged it?

"I saw your chakra flow and guessed that you were going to release a ninjutsu with your mouth!" Ning Yuan explained, "The Byakugan doesn't have dynamic vision, but it can predict your movements based on your chakra flow. If this person's reaction speed is any faster, then in a fight, the Sharingan won't have any advantage!"

"After all, the Sharingan relies on on-the-spot reactions; how can that compare to anticipation!"

Ban remained silent.

To be fair, it's not like he hasn't fought against Hyuga clan ninjas before; they weren't actually that difficult to defeat.

The Hyuga clan excels in taijutsu, so we shouldn't engage them in close combat; we should just keep our distance and use ninjutsu.

Once you have Susanoo, it will be even simpler. Gentle Fist hitting Susanoo is like tickling it, and you can withstand the damage from Hyuga's Rush.

That's how the Hyuga clan was defeated and forced to join Konoha.

But when facing Hyuga Ningyuan, Madara felt a sense of unease for the first time.

First of all, this Hyuga knows ninjutsu.

And his specialty is water-style techniques!

Although Madara was very confident in his Fire Release, Fire Release is countered by Water Release. Even if he was Uchiha Madara, his Fire Release would be blocked by several Water Release ninjas.

He had just witnessed Ning Yuan's mastery of water escape techniques.

Fire Release isn't entirely useless, but its effect isn't very significant.

Secondly, he has a special method for defending against lightning attacks, which he himself cannot understand.

In terms of physical skills, this child is quick-witted and incredibly fast, and has the predictive ability of the Byakugan as an aid. Although he did not demonstrate the Gentle Fist, the knife in his hand is no less threatening than the Gentle Fist.

Moreover, just because he didn't demonstrate the soft fist technique doesn't mean he can't do it!

Now, physical techniques are no longer an option.

Madara's Earth Release technique is inherently weak in attack power, but he is not incapable of using Water Release or Wind Release. The fact that he was able to develop Storm Release proves that Madara's Water Release technique is actually extremely strong.

But he didn't want to use that man's technique.

As for Wind Release, Madara is really not good at it.

There aren't many powerful Wind Release ninjutsu, not even in Konoha Village or the entire ninja world.

Before Naruto, there were no powerful Wind Release ninjutsu to speak of, nor were there any strong individuals using it.

Since there are no powerful Wind Release ninjas, Madara, with his pride, would naturally not take Wind Release seriously. This means that the only ninjutsu that might be useful to Ning Yuan is one he doesn't know.

He would know once he used it that Wind Release was useless against Ning Yuan.

Knowing full well the power system of the ninja world, how could Ning Yuan not develop targeted countermeasures?

"Looks like we'll have to use this one!" Madara was a little speechless. Actually, he didn't really want to use it, since he had just used it. Although it was for clones, he was cornered by someone.

He didn't really want to use a ninjutsu that had failed a second time.

But there's no way he can just unleash his Wood Release technique now.

It's not that it's impossible, but his health simply won't allow it!

The main reason he struggled so much from beginning to end was his physical condition; he was too old.

His muscle strength is almost non-existent, and his chakra is less than one percent of his peak strength. Although he has the Sharingan, his speed and reaction speed have decreased significantly.

His current fighting strength is less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak.

Even so, his inner pride still drove him to fight.

He didn't want to lose in a humiliating way!

"Susanoo!"

Unlike the previous instance where only half of the sternum was exposed underground, this time Madara actually summoned a complete Titan!

However, this giant was not wearing armor, so it should only be the second stage of Susanoo.

As for the ultimate stage, he probably can't use it now.

"Let me show you the ultimate power of my Uchiha clan!" Madara stood high above Susanoo's brow, looking at Ning Yuan with a smug expression, expecting to see a panicked face.

But I saw surprise, I saw curiosity, and I saw excitement.

In the panic, they didn't see it.

"This is Gundam! It's awesome!" Ning Yuan's voice carried far on the wind, leaving Ban completely bewildered. What is Gundam? And what does "awesome" mean?

However, he could still sense the excitement in Ning Yuan's tone.

"That's right, this is the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan. Do you still have the courage to challenge me now?" Madara asked coldly, arms crossed proudly.

"No!" Ning Yuan shook his head. "I have absolutely no idea what kind of ninjutsu could be used to break through something so powerful!"

Although various methods such as electromagnetic cannons and sonic escape came to mind, Ning Yuan thought about it and decided to give up using them.

Although this might make the fight less than perfect, he had already begun to unleash his power from the moment he formed the hand seals.

Having one exchange to fulfill a dream is enough. It's really unnecessary to expose your true strength for a moment of pleasure and then affect your future plans.

This wave, this wave is called a tactical failure!

"Good that you understand!" Ban nodded in satisfaction. He had finally managed to subdue him.

Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to invite him to be my successor.

After dispelling Susanoo, Madara approached Ning Yuan and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged. At your age, having this level of strength is already something to be proud of. Let's find a place to talk?"

"Great!" Ning Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

With the support of the entire Earth, countless successful experiences, the wisdom of numerous philosophers and scientists, and having even watched the entire Naruto series, knowing all of Madara's plans and the ending, he was utterly confident in his ability to talk his way out of things.

Therefore, he loves chatting the most!
