--------------------------------------------
(General pov)
Madara's figure didn't move an inch, all of his attention was locked on the figure that stepped out of the green light circle that Madara thought it was some kind of a portal.
The figure looks like a walking skeleton, with white flesh and a pale and puffy face. His eyes were like empty holes because of how sunken and dark they were and a flat, greenish hair like dead sea grass clung to his forehead and cheeks. He was tall standing almost 8ft tall and awkwardly thin, with sharp limbs, while on his back his spine and ribs were sharply defined.
The mysterious figure's hole eyes looked at Madara and then Lisa's dead body that was beside Madara. His gaze returned to Madara and looked at him one more time before spoke up,
"well well, It seems like you killed the low blooded spies I was supposed to bring back, and for that, I will give you a reward", said the skeleton figure while releasing a powerful killing intent.
Madara, who this all time was quiet trying to figured out who this guy was, let out a little smirk after seeing green mana started covering the figure's hands.
'If my memories serve me right, then he must be Retainer Bilal, this guy is the weakest of the retainer. This is going to be fun, let's see how strong a retainer is', thought Madara as he activate his Sharingan.
He didn't know why but his heart started pumping with excitement, the thought of how their fight is going to be made him blood boil with excitement.
"Consider this an honor human, because I Bilal will be the one killing you today, I want to hear you scream and beg for mercy until you're dead", said Bilal as the sickly green mana formed two long toxic swords.
'mm, I can end him without much effort, but where is the fun of that, I'll do this the old fashioned way ', thought Madara as he took out his black katana and spoke,
"we'll see who will be the one begging for mercy".
Madara's figure blurred as he shot towards Bilal, his Sharingan shining red. Instantly, Madara arrived in front of Bilal and delivered an horizontal slash towards him.
But his sword met an after image of Bilal. 'he's fast ', thought Madara as he turned to block Bilal's toxic blades.
*clank*.
As he blocked the attack, Madara's figure blur again, this time he sent a chakra enhanced kick towards Bilal who was a little late to react.
Madara's kick made contact with Bilal's skeleton figure. Even though Bilal was thin, the kick didn't put him in bad condition, he was just sent sliding a few meters away.
"how dare youuuuu", Bilal yelled as the toxic blades on his hands suddenly extend towards Madara in an incredible speed that if it was a normal person, he or she wouldn't be able to react.
Madara evaded the blades but Bilal kept controlling them to follow Madara, then suddenly the toxic blades exploded into green mana gas.
'I don't remember him having this skill, but it doesn't matter '.
Madara stretched his left hand and a Gunbai appeared.
With just one swing, a powerful gust of wind pushed the toxic gas back to Bilal who suddenly jumped up to avoid the powerful wind.
"you're quiet interesting human", said Bilal as he started releasing his green mana all over his body.
The green mana around him create something like an armor on his body, the mana around him was boiling like a hot water ready to boil anything it touch.
Bilal shot towards Madara with his toxic armor and blades on him, with a maniac laugh, he thrust his blades towards Madara.
Madara dodged them and flicked towards Bilal with both of his weapons on his hands.
He first swung his katana towards Bilal's neck, but his sword melted the moment it touched the green mana armor.
Seeing that, Madara jumped away to avoid the blades that were returning back to Bilal.
"what…are you scared?, don't be, because I'm going make sure you melt just like how your sword did", said Bilal while smirking.
Madara looked at the remaining half of his katana for a second then threw it away. The sword was no longer needed. He looked at Bilal who was walking towards him with a face full of confidence and arrogance.
Not wanting his Gunbai to also melt, Madara put it back inside his dimension ring.
Seeing Madara's action, Bilal smirked and suddenly vanished from where he was standing.
He appeared right above Madara with his toxic blades a few inches away from Madara's head.
His blades slash Madara's head in two with a single slash, as Bilal was starting to think that he finally kills him. Madara's body suddenly turned into a log.
"huh?". Before Bilal could process what happened, he was forced to use his blades to block Madara's punch which was covered in chakra.
*bam*
His punch pushed Bilal a few meters away to the near trees.
Madara looked at Bilal's face and saw a grin, he then looked at his torso only to find a deep cut with the toxic green mana boiling his skin.
"how do you like my surprise", said Bilal as he reveal another toxic blade that emerged from his stomach area.
The cut on Madara's torso was slowly closing itself while fighting the green toxic mana of Bilal, Bilal's sunk eyes widen in surprise as he looked at the fast healing cut on Madara's torso.
But his shock was cut short when Madara dashed towards him while doing hand seals.
[fire style: Blast wave wild dance]
Madara expelled a powerful stream of flame that drawn into a spiral formation towards Bilal who suddenly sunk into the tree that was beside him and disappeared, causing Madara's attack to engulf nothing but a few trees that were in front of him.
"so, he's going to use the trees around us to his advantage", said Madara as he stood still while sensing Bilal's presence.
Suddenly he jumped up to avoid Bilal's toxic mana blade that came out of the tree that was behind him.
Landed a few meters away from the trees, Madara did a hand seal and fired his attack.
[Fire style: Majestic destroyer flames ]
The sea of flames obliterate all the trees that were surrounding Madara. The whole area was turned into a wasteland filled with ashes and smoke.
"now let's see where you will hide", said Madara while looking at the figure above him.
Bilal was levitating on the sky, some parts of his body were burned but they were slowly healing.
Bilal's face was showing an anger expression as he looked at his skeleton body.
Forming his blades again, he flew towards Madara and delivered a vertical slash towards him.
Since Bilal had already lost his cool, Madara use this chance to dodged the slash and sent a powerful chakra enhanced punch towards Bilal's stomach, since Bilal wasn't covering his body with his green toxic mana. Madara's fist connected perfectly with Bilal's stomach.
When the punch landed, the air around them shifted, there was too much force behind the punch.
The punch was so powerful, Bilal heard and felt his ribs cracking. And some things internally were severely injured.
*uurrgg!*
Bilal spat out a mouthful of blood from something internally rupturing.
Madara didn't allow Bilal to have another breath as he swiftly kicks him on the chin. The force behind the kick sent Bilal up to the sky. While in the air, Madara took out his Gunbai and swung it.
A powerful tornado was formed from just the swing of his Gunbai, Madara didn't stop there, he did a hand seal,
[Fire style: Great fireball jutsu ]
A large fireball shot out of his mouth and heads towards the tornado, the two attacks combined together to formed a flaming tornado that engulf Bilal.
All of that happened in just a few seconds due to how fast Madara's movement and attacks were.
With his Sharingan on, Madara eyed the flaming tornado that was trapping Bilal.
But then…..
*aaaaaahhh*
A burst of green mana erupted inside the burning tornado, cancelling it immediately. The mana that was now being released by Bilal who was levitating on air was more dense and toxic.
"I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL KILL YOU", shouted Bilal as the green mana around him shot towards Madara in form of blades.
"well, seems like time to finish this", said Madara as his Sharingan turned into the MS.
The moment the toxic blades were about to hit Madara, they were stopped by dark-blue ribcage that appeared around Madara.
Then the ribcage suddenly turned into the upper body of the incomplete Susanoo.
Confusion, anger and shock were showing on Bilal's face as he looked at the thing that was surrounding Madara.
"was that the best you can do?", teased Madara while looking at Bilal.
Control by anger and pride, Bilal covered his whole body with his toxic mana and stretched his hand forward as he flew towards Madara, a blade like mana formed in front of his hands.
As he get closer, Bilal's anger suddenly faded and was placed by despair as he looked at Madara's grin. It was at that moment that he knew…..he flew right into a trap.
*Stab.*.
The Susanoo's blade that seem to appeared out of nowhere stabbed him right where his mana core was. The blade made it way to the other side of his body, the green mana around him disappeared leaving him hanging on the Susanoo's blade.
"ho..how d..did it not melt", said Bilal in a weak voice.
"that's because this is the ultimate defense", said as he canceled his Susanoo but let the hand that was holding Bilal remain.
'now, let's see how much I will know from him', thought Madara.
[Sharingan ].
Madara used his Sharingan to looked at the memories of Bilal, he looked at the memories of Bilal as they started playing in front of him.
The memories showed Bilal with his brother before he became a Retainer, he was just a normal looking guy standing only six feet tall.
Madara skipped all the unnecessary memories, his target was to see real Vritra and their domains, he wants to know what they did to turned Bilal into a retainer.
And that's when a new memory scene started playing in front of him,
"Bilal, one of the Scythes is said to be looking another students who have the same magic as hers. You and your brother possess that kind of magic, so I want to send you to her", said an old man with long green hair who appeared to be Bilal's father.
Madara watched as Bilal nodded his head in agreement.
"it will be an honor father, I will do anything to make sure I don't disappoint the Slytherin Blood", said Bilal as he bow down to his father.
The memory scene changed, now it was showing Bilal inside another room, he was laying on a stone table all tied up. The whole room was filled with laboratory equipments, test tubes filled with blood and other unknown liquid.
Madara looked at Bilal and then a figure that emerged from the shadows, it was a bulked man with black hair and two horns on his head, his eyes were red with small slit-shaped pupils, similar to a snake's, his skin was pale.
'a Vritra ', thought Madara while looking at the figure who was slowly walking towards Bilal.
"once you woke up, you will be a new person, a powerful being that will be feared and respected by others, you will be trained to become a Retainer", said the Vritra as he took out a weird looking crystal and placed it on Bilal's forehead.
Then suddenly....
