Chapter 51: 1 V/S 1

The Lightning Release Armor covering Ay's entire body surpassed its previous state, emitting the sound of electric currents.

At the same time, he himself transformed into a pale blue lightning bolt, charging towards the Uchiha youth ahead at a speed faster than before.

BOOM!

An elbow strike carrying a violent electric current heavily slammed into the ground, causing the entire surface to crack like a spiderweb.

"What? He still dodged it?"

'Could his speed be faster than mine?'

Realizing that his attack had completely missed the target, Ay couldn't help but doubt his own speed.

"Big brother, your attack seemed to pass right through his body!", Killer Bee, standing behind, saw it very clearly, the other party hadn't moved at all.

It was as if the youth's body was like air, causing his big brother to miss entirely.

'A clone? A diversion? Or some other ninjutsu?', Killer Bee curiously speculated.

"Where are you looking?"

Facing two opponents, it's better to take them down one by one.

Taking advantage of Ay's momentary distraction, Uchiha Kage swiftly moved around to Killer Bee's front.

"You!"

'When did he—?'

Before Killer Bee could react, he saw the figure appearing above his head and the Rasengan about to collide with his forehead.

Unable to completely dodge, Killer Bee could only lean back while drawing his Bee Stinger short blades with both hands, thrusting them fiercely towards the figure above.

As long as the other party dodged these two lightning-charged blade attacks, he would have a chance to avoid the Rasengan that was right in front of him.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party completely ignored his attacks, allowing the lightning-charged blades to pierce through his body, and then forcefully pressed the powerful Rasengan onto him.

THUD!

The sound of the Rasengan hitting flesh and the sound of the blades piercing through the body rang out simultaneously.

After pulling apart, both of them spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, compared to Uchiha Kage, who was gradually recovering from his injuries, Killer Bee, who had taken a direct hit from the Rasengan, was in a much worse state.

If he hadn't twisted his body at the last moment, that Rasengan would have truly hit his forehead.

Even though it only struck his shoulder now, it was still quite severe.

"You're really a man who isn't afraid of death,"

But fortunately, he wasn't fighting alone. By drawing on the Eight-Tails' chakra, these injuries could be quickly healed.

Though he didn't expect the other party to recover as well…

Killer Bee looked in surprise at the Uchiha youth in front of him who had stopped bleeding.

"Likewise,"

Pulling out the short blades imbued with Lightning Release chakra from his body, Uchiha Kage absorbed the chakra from them while using Kisame's ability to heal his injuries.

"If only I knew the Mystical Palm Technique."

The Mystical Palm Technique, a type of medical ninjutsu—preemptively casting a healing jutsu on the body part that is about to be attacked, thereby achieving a fearless effect against enemy damage.

Commonly known as invincibility.

Unfortunately, he hadn't learned it yet and could only use Kisame's ability to barely achieve a similar effect.

"Raiton: Rairyū no Tatsumaki!", Seeing his younger brother Killer Bee injured, Ay on the other side immediately charged over in a rage. Without waiting for Uchiha Kage to stand up from the ground, he launched another attack.

And it was a leg axe capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.

A normal person would not be able to remain unharmed under such a powerful nin-taijutsu.

But Uchiha Kage was completely unaffected.

Not even his clothes were dirtied by the dust.

However—

What Uchiha Kage didn't expect was that Uchiha Mikoto, who had been standing nearby, hadn't made any move since the beginning.

Really.

If she weren't Sasuke's mother, Uchiha Kage swore he would give that woman's perky, round buttocks a slap.

'Young mother, why are you standing still like the enemy earlier?'

'Still staring at me foolishly, isn't now the best time to rescue the child?'

'Wake up, Uchiha Mikoto!'

"Now is not the time to space out, fiancée!"

To snap Uchiha Mikoto out of it, Uchiha Kage deliberately used a different form of address.

He wasn't lying when he said he was in a hurry.

His Mangekyō Sharingan hadn't fully recovered yet, and each use of intangibility consumed a significant amount of chakra.

And the A-B brothers in front of him hadn't even gone all out.

If this stalemate continued and his chakra ran out, he would truly be doomed.

"Ah! I, I…"

'So, so amazing.'

Uchiha Mikoto never dreamed that this young boy could actually suppress the Cloud Village's A-B brothers.

'So when he said he would protect me, it was because he truly had the confidence, not because of me…'

'Ah, I'm such a self-conscious woman!'

Thinking back to her earlier wild thoughts, Uchiha Mikoto felt extremely ashamed.

"I'm sorry, I…"

Still calling her "fiancée" now must be teasing her about what happened earlier.

If it weren't for the enemies in front of her, Uchiha Mikoto would definitely want to find a hole to crawl into.

"Now is not the time for apologies either."

While using intangibility to dodge Ay's pursuit, Uchiha Kage kept an eye on Killer Bee's next move.

At the same time, he increasingly wanted to give the female ninja's buttocks a slap.

'What's wrong with Sasuke's mom?'

'Why is she still hesitating at a time like this?'

"Understood."

Patting her flushed cheeks, Uchiha Mikoto forced herself to regain her composure.

Now that the A-B brothers were being held back by Uchiha Kage alone, she only needed to deal with the nearby ordinary Cloud ninjas, then find a way to rescue her sister's child, and…

Naruto and Sasuke, who were lying on the ground, their conditions unknown.

———

"Big brother, it seems he has a way to ignore physical attacks. We need to figure something out, we can't keep going like this…", Seeing his older brother, drenched in sweat but completely unable to touch the Uchiha boy's clothes, growing more furious by the minute, Killer Bee felt that this couldn't continue.

"What should we do then?", Although he was aiming at the person, it always felt like he was hitting air. Ay was beyond frustrated.

"He ignores physical attacks, but we don't know genjutsu either."

Besides, using genjutsu against the Sharingan? That's just asking for trouble.

Could it be that they would actually lose to this Uchiha brat today?

"His methods are strange, but I managed to injure him a bit earlier, so he likely can't use that immunity while attacking. If we coordinate well and seize the opportunity, we should be able to hit him."

With good combat intelligence, Killer Bee quickly deduced Uchiha Kage's ability.

"Is that so? I see!", Seeing that his younger brother's injuries had mostly healed, Ay also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since their father's death, he had vowed never to let a family member die before him again.

"I'll take the lead, you support me. This time, don't hold back. We have that woman and the baby. Let's kill this guy!"

With that, Ay activated his Lightning Release Armor once more and charged at Uchiha Kage.

Killer Bee also followed orders and activated his Tailed Beast Cloak.

'So they figured it out already?', Uchiha Kage naturally heard Killer Bee's words. Although they had discovered the flaw in his intangibility ability, the initiative was still in his hands.

Moreover, even without using intangibility, his eyes were still the Mangekyō Sharingan.

And there was also the Byakugan, which the Cloud ninjas were so concerned about.

However, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki was still quite troublesome.

He needed to find a good way to restrain the Eight-Tails.

"It's useless. As long as I don't attack, what can you do to me?", Watching Ay continue to charge at him, Uchiha Kage didn't attack, simply allowing the other to pass through his body.

At the same time, he continued to provoke with his words.

"You coward!", Ay retorted angrily.

Indeed, as long as the other party didn't attack, he couldn't lose, and the tactics he and Killer Bee had discussed earlier would be ineffective.

"How about this? If your brother agrees not to attack and lets me fight you one-on-one, I won't use that ability," Rolling his eyes, Uchiha Kage quickly came up with a plan.

"Fine, Bee! You stay out of this. I'll handle him alone!", Ay winked at Killer Bee behind him.

'This Uchiha boy, though his abilities are strange, is still just a boy. To be so naïve on the battlefield…

'

Trusting the enemy's words would lead to great suffering.

"Understood, big brother," Killer Bee naturally understood his brother's meaning. Though he felt some hesitation, he still nodded.

Yes, this was the battlefield, and that enemy brat was too powerful. They absolutely couldn't show any mercy.

"Come on."

Seeing this, Uchiha Kage didn't say much, simply assuming a Gentle Fist stance.

"Straightforward!", Seeing that the boy truly intended to fight him one-on-one, Ay felt a surge of joy.

As long as the other attacked and he could land a hit, with his speed and strength, he could surely win in one strike.

'However, why does this boy's stance resemble that of the Hyūga clan?'
