Chapter 344 – Madara's New Eye Technique
"Mom, of course that's true." A confident smile spread across Ryoha's small face.
"What actually surprised me was Father's technique," Ryoha continued.
"Oh? Something wrong?" Tsunade asked.
"Actually, whether it's Limitless or the technique Father just used, the reason only Father and I can use them isn't simply because they're exclusive abilities passed down between parent and child. Maybe others also have the potential for those abilities, but the reason they can't use them is because Limitless requires an extremely precise level of control," Ryoha explained.
"And Father's precision control has already reached the atomic level. As for me, since I was born with the Six Eyes, I can naturally reach that level as well. The Six Eyes itself is the foundation for activating Limitless. But the technique Father just released has already surpassed atomic-level control," Ryoha said.
Even though he was still a child, when it came to the Limitless technique, no one other than Hatake Yusuke understood it better than him.
Everyone nodded slowly. They weren't too shocked, because none of them truly had a concrete concept of what atomic-level control actually meant.
"Yusuke-senpai, that power just now was terrifying, but the energy consumption must have been enormous too, right?" Temari asked.
Sasuke nodded as well. Just moving that attack alone would require an immense amount of ocular power.
Even with his six-tomoe Rinnegan, it would be difficult to relocate all of it. Not to mention opening a wormhole capable of containing a Truth-Seeking Ball that had expanded to tens of meters—who knew how many layers of space would have to be opened?
"No. That attack just now didn't consume anything from him at all," little Ryoha said.
"Impossible!" Everyone was shocked.
Although a child's words weren't always easy to believe, they trusted Ryoha. In a situation like this, it was impossible for him to lie.
What truly shocked them was the fact that a technique that powerful actually consumed no energy at all.
"Atomic-level control allows Father to use any technique without consuming anything. On top of that, Father's Six Eyes are in their normal state, and Father has already mastered Technique Reversal, so his Limitless operates passively," Ryoha explained.
Everyone grew even more astonished. Compared to Hatake Yusuke's own explanations, which always sounded complicated and professional, Ryoha's simple and innocent explanation made them understand even more clearly just how terrifying Yusuke truly was.
At the same time, they also understood why this little boy dared to claim that one day he would become the strongest. With the natural inheritance of the Six Eyes and the Limitless technique, Hatake Ryoha's potential in Limitless even surpassed Hatake Yusuke's.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Madara—who had absorbed the Truth-Seeking Balls—showed not the slightest hint of panic.
The many small spheres fused together into one. Instead of growing larger, it became smaller and smaller, until it finally transformed into something resembling a monk's staff held in Madara's hand.
"Come, Hatake Yusuke," Madara said as he gripped the staff and shot toward Yusuke.
Seeing this, Yusuke slowly raised his hand to block the attack. At that moment, Madara could no longer remain calm.
"Why?" Madara's eyes widened. He had clearly coated the surface of his attack with Limbo. It should have neutralized Yusuke's Limitless.
"Surprised? My Limitless isn't that easy to negate. And before this, I simply wasn't specifically maintaining it," Yusuke said flatly.
After that, Yusuke began launching attacks. Madara could only defend passively. However, because the staff in Madara's hand was so terrifying, Yusuke was forced to fully maintain Limitless as well.
Although it didn't consume anything, actively maintaining it still made his blood boil with excitement. After all, in this world, such a battle had never existed before.
Seeing this, Yusuke also used one Truth-Seeking Ball, compressing it into a sword in his hand. Both Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki wrapped around it simultaneously.
"Ten Directions Annihilation."
A terrifying slash shot toward Madara. Madara raised his monk's staff to block, but the immense force of the slash pushed him back more than ten meters. Cracks appeared on the staff, yet the sword wave itself showed no sign of weakening.
At that moment, Madara decisively used his eye technique to shrink himself and evade Yusuke's attack. He knew that in this condition, he was clearly not Yusuke's opponent.
"Thunder Ring Punishment, Nine Rings Prohibition."
Yusuke leaped high into the sky. Dark clouds filled the heavens, lightning flashing wildly. Finally, lightning gathered in Yusuke's hand, forming a long spear of lightning.
At the same time, numerous lightning spears appeared around him. Like throwing javelins, Yusuke hurled the lightning spear in his hand, and at the same time, all the lightning spears around him shot toward Madara.
Lightning was unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, Madara was swallowed by a sea of lightning.
A few moments later, the smoke cleared, and Madara's figure became visible once more. His appearance had changed. His eyes were no longer the purple Rinnegan, nor did he have the red nine-tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead anymore. Instead, three golden Rinnegan had appeared on Madara's body.
While everyone was still in shock, Madara's figure suddenly vanished and reappeared directly in front of Yusuke. His speed was so fast it seemed like instantaneous movement. Madara threw a punch at Yusuke's abdomen.
The punch was, unsurprisingly, once again blocked by Limitless. However, a terrifying ocular power burst from Madara's eyes. Limitless began to unravel layer by layer, and finally, Yusuke was sent flying by the punch.
After that, Madara charged toward Yusuke again. Yusuke rose from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
Then, a crazed smile hung on his face as he charged toward Madara. The two exchanged blow after blow with their fists.
Madara's recovery ability was truly astonishing. No matter how severe his injuries were, they healed instantly. However, Madara was also unable to break through Yusuke's physical defense.
About half an hour later, the ground around them was already filled with countless small craters.
"Seriously annoying eye technique. It can even interfere with my control," Yusuke said.
"My eye technique is called Order Disorder," Madara said, then began explaining it to Yusuke.
After hearing the explanation, even Yusuke felt that this eye technique was truly absurd. Like vector control, it could change the direction of force.
This meant that many attacks became completely ineffective against Madara. An abnormal ability just as insane as Yusuke's Limitless. Because it required no calculations, Madara's combat strength had become even more troublesome.
"Magma Hell, Crimson Lotus."
As those words were spoken, waves upon waves of magma surged toward Madara. Seeing this, Madara didn't show the slightest surprise. The power in his eyes flashed, and the magma seemed to come alive, spreading away from his body.
"Damn it, I can't believe you can outlast me in consumption," Yusuke said.
After all, the environment was already prepared. All that remained was controlling the magma to attack, which barely consumed anything. As he spoke, the magma surged once more, swallowing Madara whole.
