Ch-5: Fighting with Teammates.

[- - - - - Chapter Starts - - - - -]

Aqua and Motoshi rushed at him with an inhuman speed, and with their insane strength, they punched only to find him, doge, their punches at an insane rate. Motoshi enhanced his speed by concentrating mana at his legs while Aqua prepared her elemental attack. Motoshi connected his fist with Tobi's face only to find him disappearing with a puff of smoke.

They stopped their attacks and searched for him. Both of them inspected their surroundings for any tracks. After a few minutes of searching, Mototshi gave up and shouted, "Fight like a true man!" Aqua also stopped her searching when she heard Motoshi's shout and agreed with a grunt.

"There is no such thing as honor in our business." Suddenly a voice came from their back, startling them both. Both of them had the same thought while their back was covered with sweat ("Since when?") Seeing their nervous posture, Tobi knew what they were thinking. He replied, "From the start."

They quickly distanced themselves from Tobi and took cover behind nearby rocks. Matashi quickly formed some runes on the ground and exclaimed, "[Seven Pillars of Hell.]" Seven different pillars with a height of 4 meters to 7 meters suddenly rose from the ground. Every post had different temperatures. Tobi dodged the pillars and tried to exhaust them with a water attack.

But Aqua was prepared. She quickly manipulated Tobi's attack and made it disappeared into thin air. Tobi was surprised by her sudden intervention, but he had no time to think as Motoshi's fire attacked him. At the last second, He replaced himself with a nearby log using [Body Replacement Technique]. Motoshi's eye widened in surprise upon seeing that Tobi was no longer there, and instead, there was a burning log.

Aqua made a wall of water around her and started to concentrate mana on her hands. She pushed her hands to the ground, and suddenly, terrain within 300-meters was replaced with water, forming a lake. Tobi lost his momentum for a while because the ground below him had turned into water.

Tobi looked with astonishment and quickly calculated the potential of this technique. He looked at her and asked, "What is the name of this technique?" Aqua smugly replied, "It is one of my best moves. I named it [Terra-former]. But, I will change the name soon." Tobi was still quite surprised at the potential of her technique that he overlooked Motoshi, who fired [Flame-Bullet] from his mouth, targeting him.

But due to Tobi's battle awareness and instinct, He dodged it and said, "You guys are one of the strongest on the Earth. Your abilities can make you seen as a threat." Both of them looked happy at the comment. But Tobi crushed their happiness by saying, "But, You are nothing compared to the extra-terrestrial threats that loom around the universe." They looked like they wanted to argue, but Tobi cut them off and continued.

"You guys are probably in between High B-rank and Low A-rank." This statement made them angry. They felt that Tobi was insulting them. Aqua shouted, "Then what about you?! You are just dodging our attacks like a coward. What rights do you have to state our position?" This comment from Aqua made him slightly annoyed.

Tobi faintly looked at them and said, "You guys are not powerful enough to make me fight seriously." Others may call it arrogance, but Tobi knew that they would probably have lost their lives if he was serious. He said, "If you want me to take it seriously, Then give it your best." Motoshi glared at him but still nodded.

He was not the type of person who would attack without any thoughts. He knew that Tobi is more powerful than both of them. But still, He will try his best to make him fight seriously.

But Aqua was never the type of person who would strategize. She would rush-in and attack without any consequences. Tobi's words made her even angrier.

She took a deep breath and concentrated mana on her soul. Suddenly, Her vitality and mana began to surge rapidly, gaining a visible form. This was her trump card. Mana took a concrete shape and started to envelop her petite figure. A blue and white-colored armor begun to form around her, and her connection with water started to become sturdier.

Her eyes turned light-blue while a helmet protected her head. She looked at Tobi's standing figure, who looked surprised at her transformation, and rushed towards him. She controlled the temperature of her water and coated it around her fist.

Ice started to form around her, slowly freezing the entire lake and making it slippery. She made her fist connect with the nearby ground and shouted, "[Ice mode: Spike-ball.]" Suddenly a vast number of frozen balls covered with spiky shards of ice emerged from the ground and rolled towards the Tobi with incredible speed.

Instead of dodging the attack, Tobi's eye turned scarlet red with one-tomoe spinning. Tobi's gaze followed the attack's movement, and at an incredible speed, He clenched his fist and punched the incoming attack. The spell broke into pieces due to Tobi's single punch.

Motoshi and Aqua looked at the Tobi with a shocked expression. They did not expect that Tobi's single punch would break Aqua's best attack instead of killing him. Aqua looked like she wanted to say something but passed out due to her overusing her mode.

Tobi looked at the unconscious figure of Aqua and said, "It was a good move. But, It still did not force me to get serious." He shook his head, and a portal appeared below her and took her to medics.

Motoshi was quite astonished at the power displayed by Aqua. But he was even more surprised when Tobi broke her most decisive attack with a punch. Motoshi, too, wanted to use his best against Tobi to find his flows while fighting against a stronger opponent.

Motoshi looked at Tobi and said, "Just like Aqua, I too will use my first form to battle you. So be ready." He said and started to focus on accessing his mode. Tobi nodded and curiously looked at him.

Motoshi gathered mana on his soul and focused on it. Suddenly, The temperature started to rise, and the water nearby started to evaporate slowly. His eyes turned bright orange, and his clothes began to burn. But a robe made-up of mana protected him and replaced his clothes.

His previous black hair turned into flames, and his mouth started to release smoke. Motoshi looked at Tobi and said, "Will you able to handle me at my second form?" Motoshi knew that Tobi was strong. But, he did not know his powers. So, He asked him if he was able to handle his second form.

Tobi looked a bit surprised at his statement. He did not expect that Motoshi was able to access the second form. He nodded his head and replied, "You don't have to worry about me. I have trust in my powers." Motoshi nodded and accessed his second form.

Within a split second, He transformed into his second form. His eyes turned pure white while his hair started to turn glowing-white. The temperature around him skyrocketed, and the rocks and trees nearby started to melt.

Tobi coated himself with a thin layer of mana as protection. Motoshi looked at his new changes and then glanced at Tobi. He said with a deep and growling voice, "This is my best attack. I hope that you won't die from it."

Motoshi started to fly with the help of flames and passed the clouds. Tobi raised his eyebrows but did not follow him to the air. It's not that he could not fly, But he wanted to see the power of Motoshi's attack.

Motoshi stood very high and looked at Tobi's small figure and muttered, "I hope you won't die." He started to gather a massive amount of raw mana and concentrated on his palms. He looked at the ground and muttered, "[Plamsma mode: Disintegrating Beam]"

A pure white beam of mana shoot out from the palms of Motoshi, and with a very high speed, It moved towards the ground. Tobi looked at the beam, and suddenly, his face turned serious. His eyes turned scarlet red with a pattern of three-pointed shuriken spinning rapidly.

When the beam was about to hit him, He concentrated mana on his right eye and said, "[Kamui!]" The beam passed through his body like it never touched him. Tobi jumped at the air and moved towards the falling figure of his male teammate. He caught his unconscious figure and teleported him to safety.

The next second, A heaven-defying explosion occurred in the middle of the mountains, destroying the entire chain of mountains. The mountains disintegrated into atoms when the beam hit them.

Nepal was divided into two parts due to the sheer power of the attack.

Tobi looked at the power of attack with seriousness, as this type of attack could harm him if he did not use his Susanoo. Although the mirror dimension could automatically repair itself, the sorcerers inside the mirror-dimension can be killed.

Tobi was about to leave the scene as he did not want to take the last attack's responsibilities. He blinked and moved away from the Motoshi's unconscious figure and whistled.

Tobi tried to act like an innocent bystander. He opened his portal to leave the mirror-dimension, but an angry shout from his behind made him stop in his tracks.

He turned at the angry figure of Ancient One and whistled. She slowly walked towards him and asked in a demanding voice, "Can you explain to me why Nepal got divided into half?" Tobi nodded with a solemn expression and answered, "Result of an unsuccessful experiment." He lied through his teeth because he did not want to be punished by her.

She nodded and asked, "What kind of experiment could lead you to divide Nepal into half?" She asked with a menacing smile making Tobi gulp in fear. Tobi was not a man who would fear something, But his godmother's punishment was not on that list.

He tried to explain, but a voice from his behind interrupted him, Motoshi who just woke-up from his exhaustion, did not hear the conversation between the Ancient One and Tobi. He asked in an exciting voice, "So, How was my power?"

Tobi tried to shut him, but he heard the sound of a blade on his right. He turned around and saw Ancient One taking out her sword. Tobi gulped his saliva and said, "Why don't we check on people who may have been hurt due to my friend's fault." He pointed towards Motoshi, who just blinked in confusion and emphasized the last words.

[Author's Note:

- MC is not a simp. However, he acts out of character when he is with Ancient One. It is due to his respect for her powers and because she is his godmother. He can be relaxed around her and trust her enough that he knows that she will never betray him.

- Also, MC is not that much overpowered. He is only High A-rank and Border-line S-rank at his power levels. But when he uses his Mangekyo, He is a fullfledged S-ranker.

- I will be explaining these power levels in detail in the next chapter.
