Chapter 223 - Chapter 224: Till Death

"Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six, Bakudō #61, Rikujōkōrō!"

Because the dragon vein chakra contained natural energy, Seiryū now had the conditions to chant Kidō.

After the chant, Bakudō #61, Rikujōkōrō, was faster and stronger.

It bit down toward Setsuna, who had just dodged the Super Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan.

Instantly sealing his movements!

In the next instant, Seiryū moved again.

With one step of Shunpo on the ground, the earth instantly cracked apart.

Using that force, Seiryū shot forward like a streak of light, charging straight at Setsuna, who had been locked down by Rikujōkōrō.

The dragon vein chakra rampaged through his body, and the uncontrolled natural energy began tearing at Seiryū's fragile chakra pathways and meridians.

The intense pain in his body made the crazed expression on Seiryū's face even more obvious, making him look even more twisted.

But Seiryū ignored it completely and paid no attention to his injuries.

Once his temper was up.

Whoever threatened him, he would go after!

Even if the other party was the great elder of the Uchiha clan!!

"Don't be too arrogant, brat. Even if you are a Jinchūriki, this level of power is still far from enough!"

Although his chakra flow had slowed and his movements were restricted by Rikujōkōrō, Setsuna's expression remained calm.

Looking at Seiryū charging toward him, a cold look appeared in his eyes. "Since you're looking for death, then I'll grant it to you!"

This brat really did not know his place, nor understand what true strength was!

He was the great elder of the Uchiha clan.

He had gone through countless life-and-death battles!

This level of power could not pose much of a threat to him at all!

Since Seiryū was seeking death, then he would grant it to him!

Daring to attack him in full view of everyone, Seiryū had already earned himself death!

At the same time.

Setsuna was also somewhat wary.

Seiryū's talent was so great, he was a Jinchūriki, from the Uzumaki clan, and part of the Hokage faction.

He had already clearly become an enemy of the Uchiha clan.

Then someone like this should not be allowed to keep living. Leaving him alive would only be a future disaster!!

Chakra surged within his body. Setsuna grabbed Rikujōkōrō with both hands and pulled hard. The first time he failed to tear it apart, and only with a second burst of strength did he manage to rip it open.

Using the Body Flicker Technique, Setsuna instantly left his original position, avoiding Seiryū's descending attack.

With a boom.

The ground where he had just been standing directly shattered, chunks of stone rose up, and rubble shot in every direction!

"You do have some ability, but that is not the capital for you to act arrogantly in front of me!"

Setsuna was a shinobi who had survived countless battlefields, one from the same era as the Second Hokage, and older even than Hiruzen.

He was far from so old that he could no longer fight!

Even against Hiruzen, Setsuna believed he still had the strength to battle him!

At this moment, his hands rapidly formed seals, his chest swelled, and he spat out a blazing fire dragon. "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!!"

Whoosh!

The enormous fire dragon roared as it charged forward, its force ferocious, and the temperature around them instantly soared.

Its power was far beyond the one Ryōsuke had used earlier.

They were not even in the same league!

"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hadō #63, Raikōhō!"

After his first strike missed, Seiryū had already formed a one-handed seal and begun chanting.

Looking at the incoming Great Dragon Fire with its fierce force, he spread the fingers of one hand, and the chanted Raikōhō surged in power, a thick pillar of lightning blasting through the air!

Boom boom boom!!

The two terrifying techniques, one from the left and one from the right, collided head-on.

Like a meteor striking the earth, their force exploded instantly.

Along with a roar that shook the entire arena.

A terrifying explosion erupted at the center where the two techniques met.

At this moment, Seiryū's earlier battle with Ryōsuke seemed like child's play.

The power and momentum were simply incomparable!

Boom boom boom!

The aftermath of the collision spread outward, and the entire arena shook continuously, even affecting the stands.

The shockwaves were so powerful that even Tsunade could not get too close, and as she looked ahead, anxiety rose in her heart.

As for the people in the stands, their faces were filled with panic and deep shock.

They had no idea what was happening at all.

"Ahhh, can someone tell me what's going on!?"

"Why did an attack like this suddenly break out!?"

"The stands look like they're about to collapse!"

"Quick, get out of here!"

Shouts and screams rang out without end.

Under the storm caused by the shockwaves, large groups of people were thrown off balance, unable even to sit upright.

They were frightened and shocked.

And even more confused.

What the hell was going on here?

They could not make sense of it at all.

The battle had also broken out far too suddenly.

As for those who could barely keep their footing, when they looked below at the commotion that still had not subsided, they could not help swallowing hard.

"This kind of disturbance..."

"It's terrifying!"

"How could that kid possibly cast such a powerful ninjutsu!?"

"How old is he!?"

Most of those who could keep themselves steady were shinobi, and they had their own judgment of ninjutsu strength.

The power of these colliding techniques was too great.

So great that it made even them feel their hearts race in fear.

What shocked them even more, and what they found almost impossible to believe, was that one of the people releasing such techniques was just a Genin!

Who would believe that!?

On the high platform.

Hiruzen also abruptly stood up, shock likewise in his eyes, and muttered, "That little guy can already draw on the dragon vein chakra? And he can even unleash ninjutsu with this kind of power!?"

It was not only him.

The representatives of the other shinobi villages all had extremely complicated expressions on their faces.

Although they still did not know exactly what had happened.

They understood very clearly what this level of ninjutsu collision meant.

The key point was.

How could Konoha possibly have another Jinchūriki?

And one who could even draw on the power of a "tailed beast" at that!?

Didn't Konoha only have the Nine-Tails?

Wasn't the Jinchūriki Uzumaki Kushina!!

What exactly was going on!?

Questions and suspicions rose in all of their hearts.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The aftermath of the clash between the two powerful techniques was still immense, but it seemed the two attacks were canceling each other out, their power weakening against one another.

"He actually blocked it!?"

The shock in Setsuna's heart, while resisting the aftermath in the arena, was far greater than anyone else's.

His ninjutsu had actually been blocked by a child around ten years old!?

How could Seiryū possibly possess this kind of strength!

If he were allowed to continue growing...

At that thought, the killing intent in Setsuna's heart became even stronger.

Amid the shattered flames and lightning filling the sky, his three-tomoe Sharingan found Seiryū's position.

His hands rapidly formed seals, and from his mouth he expelled a surging and violent gale. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Boom boom boom!

The violent gale swept forward, destroying everything in front of it, and its area of effect was extremely broad, completely sealing off every possible path around Seiryū.

"Hahaha, come on then. Super Ultra-Big Ball Planetary Rasengan!!"

A wild, vicious laugh shook out of Seiryū's mouth. Ignoring the searing pain in his chakra pathways and meridians, he drew out a massive amount of dragon vein chakra from the Yin Seal at his forehead.

Under his exquisite chakra control.

A Planetary Rasengan over ten meters in diameter spun madly.

Seiryū let out a low shout, thrust his right hand forward, and smashed it straight toward the incoming violent gale!!
