****************

"Nice job! Ouch!"

In the distance, Onoki waved his fist excitedly, then twisted his old waist that had just recovered.

Jiraiya and Naruto also looked happy.

At least in terms of physical skills, Colt had the upper hand this time.

The opponent was Uchiha Madara!

Looking at Colt, who was looking down at him, Uchiha Madara was stunned for a moment, then laughed madly again.

"I haven't had such fun since forever!"

"It's a pity that you were born in this era. If it was at the beginning, Hashirama and I would have had another good opponent!"

Colt smiled slightly and silently accepted the compliment.

Perhaps this was Uchiha Madara's personal charm.

Even if he was a villain and said some coercive words, everything seemed fitting coming from him.

This was a trait no one stronger than him possessed.

For example, a certain silly goddess had no real BOSS characteristics at all.

Naruto and Sasuke practically bullied her due to her inexperience.

And in this short period of time, Madara's legs returned to normal.

"In Taijutsu, I, Uchiha Madara, would like to call you the strongest!"

Colt burst into laughter and was about to mention that he had never seen Guy's Eight Inner Gates, when Uchiha Madara suddenly raised his leg and kicked him in the head!

Boom!

Colt raised his hand to resist, but Uchiha Madara took advantage of his strength, bent his body slightly, and bounced far away.

This was Uchiha Madara, not adhering to honor and sneak attacking a 16-year-old young man.

That's… the Ninja God?

Seeing Colt's disdainful expression, Uchiha Madara explained with a chuckle:

"In the Sengoku era, as long as you could win, sneak attacks and even sacrificing the lives of your fellow clan members were not uncommon."

Seeing Madara's appearance of teaching the younger generation, Colt was a little amused.

"I also know that about the Sengoku era, but what time is it now? The new era has no place for someone like you!"

In the face of his sarcasm, Madara did not continue.

The winner was king, so what's the harm in using a few tricks?

This was Madara, unwavering in his purpose.

In fact, many villains were like this.

Usually, the villain in a novel had a lofty revenge and ambitions, was not discouraged by failure, and could use all means for their dream.

The usual protagonist: had no goal in life for the future, took things one step at a time, often blocked other people's dreams, and only acted when forced.

"I lost in taijutsu, so the next step is... Ninjutsu!"

[Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!]

Uchiha Madara simply raised his finger and spat out a sea of fire that covered the sky at Colt!

"Are you kidding? This can still be called a Fire Style?!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters high, the fire wall covered the sky.

This was just a B-grade Fire Style! How did it suddenly turn into this inferno?

Colt remained indifferent, imitating Madara's hand signs with ease.

[Amaterasu: Great Fire Annihilation!]

Not inferior to Madara's sea of fire, the flames Colt produced were black, completely composed of Amaterasu's black flames!

"I'm impressed! Amaterasu? Is this your Mangekyō's technique?"

Seeing his sea of fire being devoured by the black flames, Madara's face was filled with admiration.

In the Uchiha clan's history of awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Amaterasu did appear.

This may also have been connected to the Uchiha clan's expertise in Fire Style.

But Madara never remembered anyone making Amaterasu's black flames like Colt, forming a wall of fire.

"Good chance!"

Onoki, who had been floating in the air, saw Uchiha Madara fall into deep thought and his eyes lit up.

[Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!]

The cone-shaped dust escape barrier aimed at Madara then was released mercilessly!

Madara frowned in displeasure; he hated being interrupted in his battles, especially in such a fun fight!

Quickly dodging to avoid Onoki's fatal blow, a blue skeletal Chakra giant appeared to protect Madara.

With its slender arms, it threw out several Magatama, aimed at Onoki.

"Not good!"

Onoki's face suddenly changed; the dust release earlier had consumed much of his Chakra, and even slowed his flight.

These Magatamas could kill him!

Fortunately, Colt acted in time.

His own giant Susanoo appeared, intercepting the attack halfway.

"Don't intervene; we wouldn't want people to say we're ganging up on an old man."

Colt frowned, motioning Onoki and the others to stay back.

Onoki realized he had unintentionally made things worse, so he landed beside Jiraiya and became a bystander.

"Sorry, Madara-san, we can continue."

Colt said politely to Madara, but his next actions were anything but polite.

A super-large [Rasenshuriken] condensed in the Susanoo's hand.

Once it grew to several tens of meters, Colt hurled it at Uchiha Madara.

A harsh buzzing filled everyone's ears, and the sharp wind Chakra split the air, making Madara's expression turn serious.

"This is the strongest win style I have witnessed…!" (T/N: Wind style* but I'll leave it as it is because it's funny lol)

Although he was focused, Madara remained steady, commenting in the tone of a seasoned veteran.

Colt chuckled but said nothing.

Because the move wasn't over yet.

As it passed through the Amaterasu Sea of fire, Colt's Mangekyō shone with scarlet light.

A chain of black flames wrapped around the spiral shuriken, instantly forming a combined ninjutsu.

[Ten No Shiso] allowed Colt to control all objects connected to his Chakra, including Amaterasu.

Thus, Colt could manipulate the form of the Black Flame at will, similar to Sasuke's Flame Control.

[Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero!] (T/N: This is actually a real jutsu name in the Naruto world lol)

Colt slowly said the name of the move, and Jiraiya's eyes behind him widened.

This naming sense... it reminded him of Minato.

As for Madara, upon hearing the name, a black line appeared on his forehead.

"I really can't stand you..." he said, watching the black flame spiral shuriken completely lock onto his position.

At that moment, Madara's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was slowly changing!
