Chapter 11 Hard Battle.

He never expected that this Uchiha clan member, who had always been devoted to taijutsu training, would actually create a "Taijutsu version" of Susanoo!

Inwardly, Setsuna was fervently calling out to the old clan leader, "Madara-sama, look at the genius in our clan. In the time you were away, the child has become a different kind of Uchiha akin to the Senju!"

Suppressing his inner joy, Setsuna blinked his already pained eyes and sighed, "This seems troublesome, what an incredible aura."

Tsunade also had a slight smile on her lips, "This bastard is indeed quite capable."

Hanma slightly bent his knee, and a thunderous sound emanated from the armor, "Blood Thunder Armor, please admire it. This is the first time I'm using this technique in battle, be careful, the both of you."

His legs suddenly exerted force, and the ground let out a pained groan, like an earthquake, cracks tore through the training field, lifting dust into the sky.

Hanma charged at Tsunade again, and evidently, Tsunade found it difficult to keep up with his speed boosted by the Blood Thunder Armor. The gust from his fists was already brushing her ear, but Tsunade's eyes hadn't had time to refocus.

Setsuna could see his movements clearly, but unfortunately, from seeing something to the brain reacting to voicing a warning, it took at least half a second, and that was enough time for Hanma to throw several heavy punches!

With a heavy elbow strike, Hanma viciously aimed at Tsunade, the elbow bearing a thick blood armor spike, looking like a decapitating military knife.

It wasn't that Hanma was heartless and had to treat Tsunade this way.

Rather, Setsuna's other eye technique had yet to come into play. If one strike could achieve success and take Tsunade out, it would essentially secure victory.

What surprised Hanma was that Tsunade barely managed to react from her shock.

Tsunade didn't dodge but delivered a fierce knee strike, also aimed at Hanma.

Immediately, both were sent flying in opposite directions, carving two deep grooves in the ground.

Tsunade's left hand was surrounded by green medical chakra, healing her already fractured arm, and she softly reminded Setsuna with a displeased expression:

"Go all out; this guy's strength won't give us a chance to make mistakes."

Hanma was deeply puzzled at the moment, how could this be? With Tsunade's neural response speed, she shouldn't have been able to react.

And this explosive heavy elbow strike didn't directly break her bones?

This meant she had enough strength to contend with him.

Looking down slightly at his own abdomen, the excellent defense provided by the Blood Thunder Armor couldn't withstand Tsunade's force. Hanma felt a sweetness at his throat and blood surged into his mouth.

Hanma squinted his eyes at Setsuna, understanding part of the mystery.

"Clan leader, what a fine pair of supportive Mangekyo you have!"

Hearing this, Setsuna smiled.

The left eye of this pair of Mangekyo had strong healing functions, while the right eye significantly enhanced chakra and perception.

Years ago, Setsuna had only two wishes in his heart: to see Uchiha Madara defeat Senju Hashirama and to bring back his brother.

Setsuna tightened his slightly bulging belly due to old age and whispered, "Ready to face the ultimate of the Uchiha clan?"

The cold Mangekyo power surrounded Setsuna tangibly, white Mangekyo chakra formed circles in the air, enveloping Setsuna with a martial god skull, Susanoo - First Form!

Setsuna's eyes were bloodshot, and the martial god skeleton grew muscles and flesh, holding a long, snow-white tachi, Susanoo - Second Form!

This was Setsuna's current limit, the third form of Susanoo would don the black tengu armor, but ordinary Mangekyo couldn't withstand that consumption.

Hanma looked at Setsuna solemnly, this old guy had pushed himself to the limit.

"Yasaka Magatama!"

Tsunade quickly approached Hanma, and as Hanma dodged the Magatama, he had no room to evade.

Tsunade leaped high, gathering immense chakra around her, "Heavenly Foot of Pain!"

This strike combined the massive chakra from Katsuyu Sage support, Tsunade's own burst, and a boost from Uchiha Setsuna's Mangekyo - an extremely fierce attack.

Hanma squatted slightly, muscles bulging, blood armor thickening on his arms, choosing to take the hit head-on.

"Boom---!!!"

The Forest of Death located at the training ground trembled, as if a small-scale earthquake had occurred. The massive collision sent gusts and dust, forming sandstorms that swept over everything within a few kilometers.

Watching the battle, Kushina and Minato were swayed by the quake, shrinking and looking at the sweeping sandstorm, not knowing what to do.

The Third Hokage patted the increasingly grim-faced Danzo, "Get to work, old friend."

Danzo quietly took a step forward, "Wind Release: Vacuum Barrier Technique!"

The viewing stand was enveloped by a gentle yet firm wind chakra, becoming the only sanctuary within a few kilometers.

In the large pit, two people were still in a deadlock, Tsunade slightly smiling, watching the sweating Hanma, and asked, "How does it feel this time, you ungrateful bastard!"

Hanma chuckled bitterly, what ungrateful bastard, what kind of weird setting is this!

He understood, with the Mangekyo enhancement, Tsunade's strength could match his.

Now the situation was that the one attacking first had the advantage.

With a side turn, shoulder and spine twisting in a counter-joint movement, he spun like a top, dispersing the force from the punch.

Tsunade spat discontentedly, not expecting this bastard's taijutsu skill to surpass hers by far.

Hanma sighed, hit the ground, "Summoning Technique!"

Smoke dispersed, and a black eagle as big as a helicopter flew into the sky, Hanma shouted, "Big Black, remember the original tactic number one?"

The black eagle grumbled, "Got it."

Then flew higher, hovering at a safe distance, observing the ground.

Tsunade chuckled lightly, not paying the eagle any mind, thinking it was just a diversionary tactic.

Hanma felt the tearing pain in his arm, it must be fractured. He hadn't been injured in a long time.

Indeed, the ninja world was vast, filled with heroes, never to underestimate anyone.

Glancing at Setsuna in the distance, Hanma pondered secretly, this old man must be pushing himself, at his age, there's no way he just recently awakened his eyes.

So, Clan Leader Setsuna, how much of your ocular power is left?
