The pumped-up blond met my direct blow with a hard block, creating an impressive shockwave accompanied by a bassy hum that scattered dust and debris around us, but unfortunately, even the concentrated chakra of the construct couldn't penetrate the entire layer of Raiton no Yoroi around Ai's arm.
The swarthy shinobi used his left hand as a spear and tried to pull me down with it, shining the concentrated raiton chakra on his fingertip. Turning sideways, I lunged sideways with some effort, cringing at the sound of grinding when the enemy managed to slip the construct covering my shoulder and literally knock out a shower of golden sparks that immediately turned into small explosions.
The elbow of the other hand in the jonin was expectedly blocked, but I was not discouraged, but on the contrary, just grinned in a wide smile from the joyful excitement rising from within and only increased the pace of blows, demonstrating all the mastery of the main style of taijutsu of the Uzumaki clan.
The hum of blows literally merged into a monotonous buzz and even the jonins could only distinguish our blurred figures, darting around and bringing only total destruction. At first, we were surrounded by broken, ragged forest and uprooted earth, but the longer the battle went on, the more everything around us turned into ground up rubble with large craters.
The rare fighters who were unlucky enough to be in our path were gaudily turned into an ugly mess that looked little like human beings, simply by the impact. Not that anyone paid any attention to them.
If Ai was trying to break and crush, I was trying to sidestep most of the blows thanks to my almost equal physical strength, hitting vulnerable spots, and even using ninjutsu that didn't require hand seals, spitting out water projectiles and jets of high pressure from my mouth, though it didn't do any visible damage except for the short-term effect of surprise.
When a bucket of water flies into your face, even the most trained person will reflexively cover their eyes for a brief moment.
This even allowed me to crush the ground beneath Ai's feet with a powerful blow and chakra discharge, depriving him of a firm footing, and then, taking advantage of the moment of confusion, to make a powerful throw, knocking him to the ground and delivering a crushing lunge into his stomach, driving him deeper down.
Unfortunately, I didn't get much advantage from my short-term success, because the blond man flashed his chakra, throwing away everything in his vicinity, including me, and then quickly regained consciousness, getting upright and attacking again.
He and I were moving so fast on the battlefield that I didn't have time to monitor the surroundings with my sensor senses, focusing on the formidable enemy, so the powerful blow to my back, which almost pushed through the defense of the gradually weakening Kongo Fusa: Goriaté no Kouchikubutsu (Adamant Sealing Chains: Goliath Construct), almost took me by surprise.
Only at the last moment, realizing that a blob of chaotic fire chakra was coming in from behind, as it felt like the jinchuriki was using the power of the biju trapped inside, did I manage to turn slightly, translating the clawed paw's strike into a glancing blow. That moment of confusion cost me a direct hit to the shoulder, but the underlying bone armor held, absorbing the brunt of the blow and cracking only in one place.
Taking advantage of the inertia from the swarthy jonin's powerful attack, I stopped maintaining my grip on the ground and flew off to the side, but even in this difficult position, I managed to swing my left arm and slash at Nii Yugito, who was nearby, with a golden chakra blade that grew instantly.
The kunoichi was only able to reach the tip of the blade, but even that was enough to cut the wrist of her left hand, which was held out in front of her face in a protective gesture, by almost two-thirds.
The girl had huge reserves of chakra, but her unmatched personal strength and lack of experience prevented her from reacting in time to the lightning-fast change of situation.
