Just as Wuyue was about to speak, another damned notification sounded from a certain lousy system.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, kiss her and tell her not to worry. Take good care of your child.

Second, he stole her panties and put them on his head, then unleashed a Dynamic Beam on Madara Uchiha.

Third, stick your head inside her shirt and ask for her protection.

Fuck your brother-in-law.

Wu Yue's lips twitched, a hint of embarrassment on her face. What the hell? In this tense and solemn moment, you pull this stunt again?

hula.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, a gust of air swept by, dispersing a large patch of thick fog. Susanoo's enormous body, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, hurtled towards Mugetsu.

Swish.

With one arm around Nohara Rin's waist and the other hand grabbing Kakashi's collar, Mugetsu vanished in an instant.

Rumble.

The blade, constructed from pure energy, crashed down where he had been standing, causing the ground to crack open, rocks to crumble, and boulders to fly through the air.

"This, this power..."

On the stone platform not far away, Nohara Rin, having regained her footing, was stunned by what she saw. Such terrifying power from a single strike? It completely shattered her understanding!

"Not bad speed."

Madara Uchiha slightly raised his head and looked at Mugetsu, saying, "If you intend to retreat like this, I really can't catch up with you in my current state." His attitude was extremely contemptuous, as if being able to escape from his grasp would be a compliment to Mugetsu.

But will Wuyue escape?

Obviously impossible! If he doesn't even dare to face Madara Uchiha in this state, what kind of strongman is he, talking about protecting everyone he sees?

So, without the slightest hesitation, Wuyue glanced at him with the same indifferent gaze. She then turned and gently kissed Nohara Rin's lips. "Don't worry, take good care of our child."

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Nohara Rin's eyes widened suddenly, her pretty face flushed red, and she stared at Mugetsu in utter bewilderment. W-what happened? I was kissed? What's going on? What happened?

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with twenty days of cultivation and two years of dragon growth cycle."

The moment the system notification sounded, Wuyue had vanished from his spot. Damn it, what he'd done was so embarrassing; he didn't dare look at the other person.

Seeing his actions, Madara Uchiha on the opposite side twitched slightly. Damn it! This is a battle! Can't you be a little more serious? This is so distracting!

176. A sword cuts off an arm.

Wow, that's amazing!

The short Iwa ninja standing next to Madara Uchiha was actually Zetsu. He exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated tone, "This kid actually dares to show off his love in front of a single man like Lord Owl, he's practically courting death!"

"I think you're even more courting death." Madara Uchiha's eyes turned cold as he glanced sideways at the other man.

"Ah, hahaha... Just kidding, just kidding." This silly voice was clearly White Zetsu's true form, a playful tone tinged with a hint of exaggeration. "Whoa, he's coming!"

Ok?

Madara Uchiha turned his head to the side. Sure enough, he saw a boy transform into a streak of light and rush towards him at high speed.

In mid-air.

Wu Yue spun around and swept out a leg in a counter-clockwise direction, and the sound of air being cut immediately rang out.

The Heavenly Dragon's Claw!

A massive claw shadow appeared behind Wuyue, tracing a dazzling arc from right to left.

"Huh? A taijutsu style that's all its own?" Madara Uchiha's expression showed a hint of surprise. "Quite confident, huh?"

Aside from his old friend Hashirama Senju, this was the first time he had ever seen anyone dare to physically confront his Susanoo. Putting everything else aside, that courage alone was commendable.

Swish.

Controlling Susanoo, he raised the blade in his right hand and slashed down at Mugetsu.

Bang.

The moment their moves clashed, a violent explosion suddenly erupted. The shockwave transformed into gusts of wind, spreading outwards.

Tap tap.

Wuyue took two steps back before regaining her footing.

He stared intently at the colossal creature before him, his brow furrowed. Even Dragon Slayer magic couldn't break through Susanoo's defenses in an instant? It was indeed incredibly tough!

In fact, Madara Uchiha was even more surprised than him at this moment. Hashirama Senju was able to physically resist Susanoo because of his special Sage Body, coupled with the enhancement of Wood Release.

But what makes this boy so special? And how did he manage to cultivate his physical skills to such a level at his age? Could it really be as Zetsu said, that he is someone favored by the Sage of Six Paths?

If Wuyue knew what the other person was thinking, she would definitely scoff. Bullshit! She was the one blessed by a gentleman's spirit, not some lousy Sage of Six Paths! Who the hell knew him!

In the divination arena, the thoughts and emotions that arise in the two people's minds are only a fleeting moment. The next second, as if by telepathy, their figures disappear from the spot at the same time and they fight each other again.

The stark contrast between Mugetsu's youthful figure and Susanoo's massive form was like an ant trying to shake a tree. To others, it would undoubtedly appear as an utter overestimation of their own abilities.

However, in reality, the two were evenly matched at that moment. "Bang, crack, boom..." Huge explosions echoed between them. Sandstorms swirled, and stones flew everywhere.

Nohara Rin, watching from afar, was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe this was a battle between ninjas; to her, it was a duel between two monsters.

dong dong dong.

A series of collisions.

Taking advantage of his agility, Mugetsu relentlessly kicked Susanoo's left ribs with his right foot. The flesh could be seen developing tiny cracks there; though initially inconspicuous, they grew larger with each attack, threatening to shatter the creature.

But at that moment, a blue light suddenly shone.

The surface of the blue skull began to be covered with layers of blood vessels and meridians, followed by skin and clothing.

Susanoo's body grew even larger, changing from two arms to four, and a dark blue light began to emanate from its blade.

"Not bad, brat." Having evolved into a semi-adult Susanoo, Madara Uchiha's tone was less contemptuous, yet still arrogant. "I acknowledge your strength; you are capable of being annihilated by me."

· ……

"Is that so?" Wuyue didn't pay much attention to his words, her gaze revealing a hint of coldness. "I've wanted to kill you from the very beginning." Silver-white scales surged from her body, and her eyes shone with a blood-red light.

"Kill me?" Madara Uchiha seemed to have heard an outrageous joke, stunned for a moment before scoffing. "What an interesting idea. But can you actually do it?"

"Guess." Wu Yue's lips curled into a smile as she gripped the hilt of her sword at her waist and stomped her right foot hard on the ground. A deafening boom followed, and spiderweb-like cracks immediately spread outwards.

Swish.

In mid-air, a silvery-white blade of light flashed, like a white lotus blooming in the void. Magnificent and dazzling.

This speed...

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, just about to make a move, when the sword light had already swept past his Susanoo's body.

choke.

Sheathing his sword, Mugetsu stood behind Susanoo.

Click.

A huge blue arm snapped off diagonally and crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

sluggish.

Madara Uchiha, Zetsu, Rin Nohara, and even Kakashi, who had already regained consciousness, were all in a state of disbelief and stunned silence. Compared to Rin Nohara and Kakashi, who were simply surprised by the speed at which Mugetsu had been used, Madara and Zetsu were even more shocked by the terrifying swordsmanship that the opponent had displayed.

It can even sever Susanoo?!

This was something that had almost never happened in the history of the ninja world! Yet, it was now truly happening right before their eyes.

177 Evenly matched?

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After a moment of silence, Madara Uchiha suddenly burst into laughter. "Interesting, very interesting, brat. Your name is Yuhi Mugetsu, right? I see, no wonder those two guys thought so highly of you. If we're just talking about swordsmanship, you really can be called the best in the ninja world."

"Number one in the ninja world? Ha, well, thank you for your praise." Wuyue turned around and said expressionlessly.

A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling the hair at his temples. His silvery scales and blood-red eyes, illuminated by the setting sun, made him appear like a god or demon.

"That state..." Madara Uchiha clearly noticed the other's unusual behavior, narrowing his eyes slightly. "A secret technique to forcibly enhance abilities or the power of bloodline?"

Just as he was pondering this, Wuyue's figure suddenly became blurry and disappeared from the spot.

Swish.

A dazzling sword light flashed again in mid-air. It was like frost falling to the ground, carrying a chilling killing intent.

A crimson light flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes, as if he had completely seen through his opponent's movements. He controlled Susanoo to dodge to the right, while his remaining three arms simultaneously drew their blades, thrusting straight towards a certain direction. That direction was precisely where Mugetsu's figure had reappeared.

Bang.

A muffled thud.

The sword light and the blade energy collided, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards.

Despite the immense force of Susanoo, Mugetsu's tender body did not retreat an inch, and an incomparably powerful aura rose from within him.

"Interesting, this power." Madara Uchiha's Sharingan beneath his mask slowly rotated, a thought-provoking expression on his face. "Another application of chakra?"

He had collected these eyes years ago from a very talented junior member of the Uchiha clan. Madara had originally intended to groom him as his successor, but the young man died young.

Madara didn't understand what Dragon Essence and Dragon Power were, simply believing that they were still within the category of chakra.

"Well, who knows!" Even in this state, Wuyue still seemed to be in complete control. She slammed her right leg into the ground, and with a loud bang, the ground cracked like a shattered mirror.

With both hands gripping the hilt of the sword, he forcefully swung it upwards. Under the surge of powerful force, Susanoo's massive body was actually forced back several steps. Before it could regain its footing, Mugetsu suddenly appeared above its head, raised its left leg, and stomped down hard.

Click click click.

A crisp sound, like bones shattering, rang out.

With Mugetsu's kick, a deep gash appeared on the top of Susanoo's head. Spiderweb-like patterns spread outwards.

Entering the Dragon Power state, both Mugetsu's speed and strength received a huge boost. Combined with his original physical attributes and monstrous strength, while he couldn't quite match Might Guy with all eight gates open, he was at least equivalent to having opened seven. Every punch and kick contained immense power.

Bang bang bang.
