"Iron Will vs. Shinobi Might: Ron Stark’s Ultimatum"
-----

"I already told you, it's gone."
"I helped you get rid of the bodies, and instead of thanking me, you're threatening me?"
"Do I look like someone easy to bully?"
Ron waved his hand.
His Iron Man armor materialized beside him, controlled by an AI system, ready to attack at any moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned as he looked at the armor. It felt oddly familiar. Where had he
heard of something like this before?
Iron Man?
His squinted eyes widened slightly, just as Tsunade suddenly spoke up.
"Brat, do you know what happened to my grandfather's body?"
Her voice was laced with suppressed anger, waiting for Ron's answer.
Ron chuckled. "Yeah, I know."
Sarutobi's expression darkened, but before he could react, Ron continued, "But why should
I tell you?"
As Tsunade was about to press him further, Sarutobi interrupted.
"No need to ask."
"Capture him first and retrieve the remains of the two Hokages!"
With that, he was the first to charge forward.
Capture him? No, kill him!
The human experimentations could be exposed—but not right now.
Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
A fierce dragon of flames roared toward Ron. This was a powerful Fire Release jutsu—if it hit,
it would instantly turn its target to ashes. The sheer size of the attack made dodging
nearly impossible.
But Ron didn't need to dodge. He simply willed himself into his personal space dimension.
The flames scorched the ground, leaving a blackened crater.
Inside his space, mist surged forward. As he absorbed its energy, he observed the battle outside.
His Iron Man armor took the brunt of Sarutobi's flames without a scratch, its cold metallic
glow unshaken.
It raised its hand, launching several micro-missiles.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions shook the ground where Sarutobi stood. Had he been a second slower, he
would have been reduced to a pile of flesh.
Face grim, Sarutobi bit his thumb and rapidly formed hand seals.
Summoning Jutsu: Monkey King Enma!
But just as his summon completed, the Iron Man suit was already closing in on him.
Sarutobi barely had time to shift sideways before a powerful punch slammed into his shoulder.
A loud crack echoed.
His shoulder bone shattered, and he coughed up blood. If that punch had landed on his head, he
would have been killed instantly.
"Enma! Take it down!" Sarutobi shouted.
At this point, he couldn't worry about the graveyard anymore.
An enemy with at least Kage-level power in an indestructible metal suit—if not dealt with, Konoha
was in serious danger.
Tsunade, watching the blood spill, trembled in shock and collapsed.
Jiraiya, unable to comfort her, summoned the giant toad Gamabunta and joined the fight.
The upgraded Iron Man suit wasn't just stronger in firepower and defense; Tony had also
programmed it with advanced combat techniques and custom algorithms to counter shinobi
taijutsu.
Though the AI wasn't fully sentient, its overwhelming durability made up for its lack of adaptability.
By the time Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru arrived on the battlefield, they saw the golden-red
armor dominating Sarutobi and Jiraiya.
Danzo instantly recognized it.
Wasn't this the guy who stole his experimental materials!?
He unleashed a Wind Release jutsu at Ron's suit. While it didn't do much damage, it did slightly
deflect the armor's punch.
Orochimaru followed up, summoning massive snakes to bind the armor.
But in the next second, countless blades extended from the suit, twisting slightly.
The snakes were instantly sliced into pieces.
Inside his space, Ron finished absorbing the mist energy.
[Host: Ron Stark]

[World Travel Available: 1]
[Note: Defeated enemies can be absorbed into the space!]
...
"As expected of Hashirama Senju!"
"Even with just his bones left, the residual energy—less than one percent of his prime—still
increased my battle power by 40."
To put it in perspective, if he had been a regular person before, this boost alone would've made him
a Jonin.
And most of that power came from Hashirama.
Ron exited his space, ignoring the battle and walking toward Tsunade.
Watching her tremble, he crouched down.
Her dazed eyes snapped back to focus when she saw Ron.
"R-Ron..."
"What... what are you trying to do?"
Ron gently brushed his hand across her face.
"I never planned anything," he said with a smirk. "At first, I just wanted to be your friend."
"Then why... why are you doing this..." Tsunade stammered, her gaze flickering away from
the battlefield.
Ron chuckled. "I already told you—this is your fault."
His hand trailed down to her collarbone, gripping tightly.
"So now, you don't deserve to be my friend anymore."
Ignoring her flinch of pain, he looked back at the fight.
"I can make more suits like that one."
"Do you really think Konoha can stop me?"
As Tsunade's expression shifted between shock and dread, Ron leaned in, his voice
dropping to a whisper.
"Tsunade, you don't want to see Konoha destroyed, do you?"
