3 3 - Lightning Confrontation
While the two beings faced each other, a certain blond stared confusedly and curiously at the new arrival trying to see through him.
Long braided hair and he wore a black, white and gold outfit. He had on a gold earring, a white scarf, a gold and white cape, a gold and brown midriff shirt with short sleeves, black gloves, black pants, a belt with a star and black boots. He had an average size.
It was Aether, the previous person Sasuke found interesting. Also known as the Traveler, he traveled to Inazuma hoping to find clues to his missing sister since they both confronted an Unknown God but ran into a problem.
His friend Thoma got caught by the Tenryou Commission because of the vision he had, Ayaka, one of his friend, had informed him and came to see him to warn him that she was going to intervene. It's what he did for her instead of leaving her in a big deal.
He certainly didn't expect a stranger to interfere in a ceremony of this magnitude where the Shogun herself was taking part. He didn't know if it was a death wish, but what he was sure was that he couldn't fathom the individual.
Yet he was as old as any Archon of thousands of years, and even traveled many worlds but this person, he saw nothing but shadow and blackness in those eyes. Darkness. Cold. Solitude. Empty.
Such was the description he had of this person. Of course he didn't know him, but that was enough to define this young man.
Aether couldn't see the little light in the Uchiha's heart that formed 2 years ago, the negative feelings outweighed the positive. The larger remains more visible than the smaller.
"Aether! Who is this person ? Paimon is afraid of what will happen~!" The flying little girl exclaimed loudly, pointing at Sasuke's face.
A fairy body, thick white hair cut above the shoulders, dark purple eyes and fair skin. She wears a long-sleeved white sweater and a star-flecked midnight blue cape, and white stockings with white boots. Rose gold embroidery and shapes are attached to her sweater, boots, and sleeves. A dark blue, almost black hairpin and a rose gold crown that levitates above her head like a halo.
Paimon is the one who has accompanied the Traveler since his arrival in this world and has served as his guide since he had saved him from the river by fishing it. The two are friends and have a somewhat brotherly bond.
The Traveler shook his head with a sigh, not having the answer to the question either. Nothing but trouble happened to him since he landed in this world, this one was no exception.
Just wait and watch.
-------------
Sasuke frowned slightly upon seeing the scene. This person had just summoned a sword from her breasts, really ? Either he was going crazy or this world was going crazy. The transition between dimensions may have tired him more than expected, surely. Shaking his thoughts, he focused on the battle ahead.
The Uchiha's senses were at their peak, ready to intercept the slightest movement. His Rinnegan watched the intense stream coming from the woman. It was not Chakra, but still remains powerful. All this was still unknown to him, he had to maintain his vigilance.
His left eye swirled rapidly as a 3-tomoe red iris loomed, gazing indifferently at everything in front.
The woman acted first, appearing in front of the Ninja leaving a trail of purple lightning at staggering speed that even the Raikage would pale in comparison. The Shogun's speed was definitely one of the fastest among the Archons, if not the fastest.
Sasuke was shocked at the speed executed but being Sasuke he didn't flaunt it. Even her Sharingan struggled to keep up with this woman's speed, which immediately becomes more of a problem. If the Sharingan could see in slow motion at the cellular level, he could not imagine the difficulty of seeing with a normal eye. This is where it feels satisfying to be an Uchiha.
He could at least tell that she had noticeable speed, faster than the Raikage. Which is already a feat in itself. But, he was Sasuke Uchiha, not a run-of-the-mill Shinobi who would show ridiculousness against such a quick opponent.
His blade crackled, as a dull sound enveloped the atmosphere. The flat rib of his weapon was stretched out to intercept the woman's sword, the two collided, an intense crackle could be heard.
On one side a purple lightning, on the other a whitish luminous lightning. The two elements collided violently, leaving a breathtaking view to the inhabitants and a certain vixen who watched curiously.
Giving his opponent no time to act, Sasuke landed a kick to the Shogun's right knee before delivering a swing with the hilt of his blade to her chin which was stopped with her free hand.
The Shinobi rotated his body to land a kick to the woman's left side, which was stopped by the Lightning Sword. She flinched slightly at the blow to her knee, but it didn't seem to have affected her.
'Strong... She manages to follow me despite my speed.' Not stopping there, the young Uchiha threw several obliques as she intercepted or evaded his attacks.
The two beings entered into an intense sword battle, only lightning and a metallic sound could be heard. The speed of this fight is dazzling, so much so that a normal person only sees light.
The Shogun struck gently but forcefully at her opponent, who only stopped and returned her strikes. Her brow was furrowed as she saw the outcome of the fight. This man was stopping her attacks and even showing some anticipation, which should be impossible to achieve from an objective point of view.
She was a god, this person had no sign of any deity. The outcome of the fight was in no doubt but to her surprise, this stranger could follow her.
Maybe it was those pupils ? Whoever it was, she was going to eliminate that individual. Without giving him mercy, she had decided.
Making a circular motion with her hand, a dimensional fracture appeared where Sasuke was standing as a horizontal Electro oblique hit the Shinobi who managed to narrowly dodge.
Sasuke chafed at the fight as a slight gash formed on his stomach. He was negligent, he who was used to fighting people from the Elementary Nations, he could not have known that this Energy had the possibility of being used at a distance without even making any signs.
His Sharingan saved him, but this attack could have killed him. It was naive of him to believe that his Sharingan only would have been more than enough to fight this woman, a higher level is required for that.
Flipping backwards to gain some distance, he looked into the woman's eyes.
"You," Sasuke coldly addressed the Shogun who only stared blankly, "A very interesting power you have, but that won't happen again." He said as he made signs with his only hand.
{Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu} A huge, far-reaching fireball with a very hot temperature rushed at the Raiden. The inhabitants covered themselves with their arms because of the strong heat.
Raiden's hair fluttered back in the wind, closing her eyes as she placed her sword above her before opening them again as her eyes flashed, she swung her blade vertically as a line of electro swirled formed, cutting the ball several dozen meters in diameter in two.
But she widened her eyes slightly as she felt pain in her right leg, something she hadn't felt in a decade. Looking down, she saw a gash as a beam of lightning passed through it.
Chidori Eisō (Chidori Sharp Spear), a modified version of Chidori to modify the original Jutsu to create a spear, it is a technique that can be deadly. Sasuke used it in this situation to paralyze his opponent with lightning, aiming for her leg because that part was the closest.
If he was aiming for the torso, the stomach or some other place, she would surely have avoided it. A few centimeters and even a microsecond is paramount in this fight, he used those to his advantage.
Now that the opponent is paralyzed, she can finally answer his questions.
"You will answer..." He was about to continue his sentence as his eyes suddenly swept over his left side as the Raiden appeared in a flash of lightning.
Giving him no time to react since he had no arms to defend himself with, Raiden Shogun landed a horizontal oblique lightning strike at the Shinobi's head to end this fight in one move. It was then that a skeletal purple aura formed around the man, stopping her blow sharply as she saw the man glaring at her mockingly.
"You thought you could do the same thing to me a second time ? Too bad I'm not that stupid." A skeletal arm immediately formed upon swinging a punch at the Raiden Shogun.
Sasuke was also internally surprised that she could move despite the lightning which is supposed to contract all the muscles, thus preventing the person from moving.
She just put the sword face in front to stop this strange thing. As the arm touched her, to her surprise, she was thrown several meters away as her feet dug into the stone floor.
Powerful, she thought, looking at the left eye which had changed its pattern from a scarlet eye with 3 tomoe to a 6 pronged mill with 3 sickles inside. Before directing her gaze to the skeletal aura surrounding the man.
'Is this the source of his power ?' Her scowl had become more pronounced. Able to exercise 2 distinct elements including one made of a lightning different from the Electro Element without having visible Vision on him, this aura which could stop her Musou Isshin and special eyes.
Effectively, it is a threat to remove. More than anyone right now. This person is an anomaly in every sense, eternity cannot perpetuate with such a special person.
"Why form such a face when you are the first to attack me? " Sasuke said casually as the Susano's aura faded keeping the Mangekyou Sharingan activated.
"Are you kidding me ?" Ei, or rather the puppet, was starting to get irritated as her eyes were as cold as steel. Her blade crackled with lightning even more than before.
"No, I'm just making an observation. I'm not here to fight but to ask questions, whether peacefully or forcefully." The Uchiha underlined the last word as he calmly looked at the woman, he was still rational after all and not a battle freak like some long haired hedgehog, he was open to discussion.
Fighting is just a waste of time and consumes his Chakra unnecessarily, especially since his Rinnegan ability is still disabled. Even without that he can defeat that person.
"Why should I listen to your requests?"
The Shogun thought he was being too presumptuous, an enemy asking his enemy to answer questions. Nonsense ! Her sword was ready for the next swing, just waiting for the intruder's response.
"Because..." Sasuke closed his eyes for a little thinking time knowing she was going to let him talk before opening them again,
"I need some information" he said looking into the pair violet without flinching.
...
...
...
Stifling her anger momentarily, she looked at the man coldly, her eyes slightly open with a kind of pity without hiding the disdain behind them. Did he just give the definition of a question as proof ? Was he making fun of her ? Is he hiding his true motives ? Or was he just stupid ?
For the first time since her creation, Raiden Shogun could not see through a person.
