Chapter 477 Close combat is a man's romance!
The blinding white light engulfed everything, and the piercing scream that could tear eardrums finally subsided.
The dried rainwater turned into thick white steam, mixed with the smell of burnt earth, enveloping the ravaged battlefield.
As the steam gradually dissipated, Liemen's figure reappeared.
The ground beneath his feet had turned into a scorched, glazed expanse. The massive iron sand wall was gone, replaced by a slowly flowing, black iron sand that surrounded him, neutralizing all subsequent attacks.
Successful.
The Third Kazekage blocked the Uchiha clan's long-planned saturation attack.
However, there was no joy of victory in Liemen's heart.
He maintained that cold and stern expression, but only he knew how drastically his chakra had been depleted in that instant.
This group of Uchiha was completely different from what I had imagined.
They are not a group of arrogant guys who only know how to rely on eye techniques and talent.
That precise control over ninjutsu, that seamless teamwork in group combat, all demonstrate that this is a truly elite force that has been tempered by blood and fire.
Just as the Third Kazekage was rapidly reassessing his opponent's strength,
A dark shadow tore through the white steam in front of him without warning, and crashed straight into his face with an almost savage motion!
too fast!
That wasn't ninjutsu, but pure, extreme explosive power!
The visitor was none other than Uchiha Fugaku.
The moment he commanded his people to launch a general offensive, he himself moved as well.
The muscles in his legs tensed instantly, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the ground beneath his feet. He transformed into an arrow released from a bow, using the cover of the firelight to propel himself toward the center of the battlefield.
His Mangekyou Sharingan had already foreseen it.
Continuing to exchange ninjutsu blows will only turn into a meaningless war of attrition.
The only way to end this battle quickly and at the lowest cost is to get close!
This brings the strongest Kazekage in the ninja world, who relied on Magnet Release to his advantage, into the domain that the Uchiha clan excels at.
Faced with this sudden change, Liemen was not panicked at all; instead, a strange light ignited in his deep blue eyes.
He smiled.
It was a smile that mixed contempt, arrogance, and excitement.
"Well done!"
A loud shout echoed through the forest.
"Rapid combat is my pleasure, and melee combat is also my hobby!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Third Kazekage dispelled the iron sand defense around him, stomped his right foot back, lowered his body slightly, and assumed a standard fighting stance. Facing Fugaku's figure, he unleashed a powerful and unparalleled straight punch.
"Swoosh—"
Before the fist even arrived, the force of the punch already caused the air to emit a muffled boom.
Fugaku's dynamic vision clearly captured every movement of his opponent, from the rotation of his shoulders to the exertion of his waist and abdomen, everything was impeccable.
But he did not dodge.
Facing this punch that could shatter stone and split a monument, Fugaku leaned slightly to the left, narrowly avoiding the blow. He then brought his right hand together, forming a knife-like shape with his five fingers, and thrust it straight into Retsumon's heart with a sharp, piercing sound.
Retsumon did not dodge or evade either, but blocked Fugaku's hand blade with his left hand like an iron clamp.
"Bang!"
The fists and palms struck, but instead of the sound of flesh colliding, they produced a deafening metallic clang.
A tremendous force surged through his arm, and Fugaku felt as if his hand had struck a piece of fine steel, causing half of his body to go numb.
so hard!
At the same time, a storm was brewing in Liemen's heart.
This man was not only ridiculously fast, but his strength also completely exceeded his expectations.
His punch was powerful enough to pierce a three-foot-thick steel plate, but it was easily blocked by his opponent.
In the blink of an eye, the two had completed their first test.
Without the slightest pause, even more ferocious attacks followed.
This is the most primal and purest form of violent aesthetics.
Fugaku's attacks were like a precise machine; every punch and kick was aimed at the vital points of the human body.
A left hook tore through the air, striking Retsumon's jaw. Retsumon jerked back, his body almost parallel to the ground, dodging the attack at an incredible angle. At the same time, a whip kick swept towards Fugaku's supporting leg.
Fugaku planted one foot on the ground and soared into the sky, dodging the sweeping leg while forcefully twisting his body in mid-air. He delivered a powerful downward kick, slamming it down towards Retsumon's head.
"boom!"
Liemen crossed his arms to block, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed with a roar, sending dust flying.
He withstood the blow.
"Not bad strength."
With a low roar, Retsumon exerted force with both arms, sending Fugaku flying through the air.
"Tsk."
Fugaku Uchiha performed a nimble somersault in the air and landed steadily, his gaze towards Retsumon now showing a hint of seriousness.
The opponent's combat skills and physical strength are in no way inferior to any ninja specializing in taijutsu.
This guy is not just a simple ninjutsu user at all.
"the same as you."
Fugaku Uchiha responded coldly, his body once again turning into a blur.
The two instantly became entangled in combat.
Punches and kicks, elbow strikes and knee strikes, each collision producing a dull, loud thud.
They were moving so fast that even the elite Uchiha clan members around them could only barely catch a glimpse of two blurry figures constantly intersecting and separating.
The aftershocks of their battle plowed the surrounding ground again and again, sending rubble and broken wood flying everywhere.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With three consecutive heavy punches, Fugaku forced Retsumon to retreat repeatedly.
"Is that all? Third Kazekage!"
Fugaku's voice was cold and filled with a sense of oppression.
Liemen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, but the arrogant smile on his face grew even stronger.
"Warm-up is over, Uchiha!"
The atmosphere between the two changed abruptly the next second.
If what was just now was a contest of fighting skills, it has now completely evolved into a brutal clash of will and physical strength.
"Ora ora ora ora ora!"
Fugaku let out a roar that was difficult to decipher, and his fists turned into countless afterimages, pouring towards Retsumon like a storm.
Each punch was infused with his full power, the air was repeatedly shattered, producing a continuous roar.
This transcends mere taijutsu; it represents the ultimate integration of Uchiha taijutsu and physical prowess.
Faced with this overwhelming onslaught, Lie Men did not retreat but advanced, his eyes flashing with a mad light.
"I really underestimated you, Uchiha!"
His fists also began to move, creating an even heavier shadow in the air as he met Fugaku's attack head-on.
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!!"
A deeper, more ferocious roar followed.
Their fists collided wildly in mid-air, each strike producing blinding sparks and deafening roars.
The ground beneath their feet was wailing, crumbling inch by inch.
Centered on the two people, a visible ring of air suddenly exploded outwards, blowing away all the surrounding dust and debris.
The Uchiha clan members watching from afar were all captivated.
Is this what hand-to-hand combat between the strong is like?
It was like two humanoid beasts tearing each other apart!
Amidst this fierce exchange of blows, the remaining dozen or so Uchiha ninjas quietly dispersed, their kunai and ninja swords gleaming coldly, and a massive encirclement was slowly closing in.
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Liemen.
He could feel his strength slowly waning.
On the other hand, Uchiha Fugaku seemed tireless, launching wave after wave of attacks.
What's even more terrifying is that those blood-red eyes seem to be able to see through all his movements, making him feel restricted in every move he makes.
Can't drag it any longer!
Lie Men's mind raced, and a resolute idea formed in his head.
He deliberately weakened his strength slightly during a punch exchange, revealing a fleeting opening.
This flaw was so tiny and so hidden, but for Fugaku, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was like a beacon in the darkness.
opportunity!
A glint flashed in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes, and he seized the opportunity without hesitation.
His left fist feinted an attack, drawing Liemen's attention, while his right fist, like a cannonball, gathered all his strength and slammed into Liemen's chest.
"puff!"
Lie Men was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he flew backward, spitting out a jet of blood.
