"Laser Beam!"
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light shot through the air, striking the Susanoo directly.
However, the attack only caused a slight ripple, utterly failing to shake Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.
From a distance, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smirk at the sight. "Looks like the netizens' guesses were right. The other ability of Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed enhancing ninjutsu!"
With Kizaru's laser attack, an ordinary Susanoo would have had a hard time blocking it, but Uchiha Madara's Susanoo had no trouble at all!
"I wonder what abilities my Mangekyō Sharingan will develop once I awaken it?" Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
In truth, he had considered copying Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan directly earlier, but the system had warned him that the higher the level of the ability, the greater the chance of failure.
Moreover, the system strongly recommended that he awaken his own Mangekyō Sharingan, as its abilities were a reflection of one's innermost self. Only by awakening it himself would he obtain powers that truly suited him.
Thus, Lin Xuan had opted to merely copy the standard Sharingan, planning to awaken his own more suitable abilities later.
Now, following the system's recommendation, he had found a special item.
It was a powerful potion from the Devouring Starry Sky world, capable of not only enhancing physical strength but also boosting spiritual energy.
According to the Naruto world's lore, evolving the Sharingan into the Mangekyō required experiencing extreme emotional trauma, such as the death of a loved one.
But based on the system's analysis, as long as one had sufficient spiritual energy, they could also awaken the Mangekyō.
As for evolving the Mangekyō into the Eternal Mangekyō, the system had another recommended item: a pill from another world Lin Xuan wasn't very familiar with, which could enhance ocular power.
The two items combined would cost two million reputation points. Currently, Lin Xuan only had a little over a million, enough to buy the first one.
However, Lin Xuan estimated that he would soon accumulate enough.
Right now, the battle between Uchiha Madara and Kizaru was still shocking the inhabitants of Sabaody Archipelago. Meanwhile, those who had left the island were spreading the news to even more people. It wouldn't be long before his reputation points would experience a massive surge!
So, no hesitation—buy now!
Lin Xuan immediately purchased the first potion, consumed it on the spot, and began digesting its effects.
As a result, the Marines observing the battle from the sidelines were astonished to see Lin Xuan suddenly sit down cross-legged and close his eyes, seemingly meditating amidst such an intense conflict.
What kind of move was this?
Whether it was Lieutenant Colonel Blackbeard and his subordinates or the Marines who had just arrived, everyone was utterly baffled, exchanging confused glances.
"Should we take this chance to rescue the Rosinante family?" suggested a Marine captain who had just arrived with Kizaru.
"No!" Lieutenant Colonel Blackbeard immediately objected. "Don't underestimate this guy. He has the same eyes as that Uchiha Madara, and from what we've seen earlier, his strength might be on par with Madara's!"
Another newly arrived Marine lieutenant colonel nodded in agreement, eyeing Lin Xuan. "Exactly. If he weren't incredibly powerful, how could he afford to be so relaxed near such a battlefield?"
The captain who had initially spoken scratched his head. "In that case, to be safe, we should probably wait for Commander Sentomaru to arrive with the Pacifistas before attempting a rescue."
"Agreed!"
The other Marine officers found this reasoning sound, and in the end, none of them dared to approach Lin Xuan, leaving him undisturbed as he absorbed the potion's effects.
While Lin Xuan was immersed in the intense, euphoric sensation of his rapid growth, the battle on the field grew even fiercer.
Kizaru continued to unleash a variety of attacks against Uchiha Madara.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Leaping into the air, Kizaru transformed into countless particles of light, raising his hand to release a torrent of golden projectiles that rained down on Uchiha Madara from all directions.
"An omnidirectional attack? Hmph, trying to find a weak point in the Susanoo? How naive!"
Uchiha Madara merely snorted, and his Susanoo became even more solid. Despite the destructive power of the golden projectiles, they could only create faint ripples upon impact. The Susanoo remained unscathed, let alone destroyed.
"How terrifying! You're truly a monster!"
Kizaru exclaimed in amazement, but he immediately launched another wave of attacks from different angles, still probing for any vulnerability in the Susanoo.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that, in his reanimated state, Uchiha Madara—though limited in power—possessed other formidable traits: immortality and limitless chakra. Even if Kizaru fought until exhaustion, he would never see Uchiha Madara's energy wane!
However, enduring attacks passively was never Uchiha Madara's style. After analyzing Kizaru's numerous offensive techniques, Uchiha Madara decisively launched a counterattack!
