"I never expected that in my final moments in this world… I would have to stand beside you."
The Uchiha Patriarch spoke to the Senju Patriarch next to him, his voice carrying a hint of annoyance mixed with faint sarcasm. He gave him a sideways glance, a bitter smile forming on his face. It felt like a strange twist of fate.
The Senju Patriarch replied in the same tone, equally annoyed and sarcastic.
"I feel exactly the same way, you crazy Uchiha."
Then the Uchiha Patriarch spoke again, his voice turning more serious as he looked forward.
"It seems our long battle will have to be settled in the next world."
He paused briefly, then added with a light tone of challenge,
"I'll make sure to defeat you there."
The Senju Patriarch didn't answer with words. He only gave a small, understanding smile.
Then both of them focused completely on the blue-haired young man standing in front of them with calm confidence. The real enemy. The one carrying their approaching end.
"You must face me with everything you have!"
Leon shouted loudly, his voice filled with excitement, a wide smile on his face.
"Show me the true spirit of the great Uchiha and Senju Clans!"
Then suddenly all three of them disappeared at the exact same moment.
BOOOOM!
A violent collision exploded in another spot, sending a shockwave across the field. Dust rose into the air, and the ground cracked under the force.
The two Patriarchs attacked at the same time, their sharp katana blades striking in fast, deadly arcs.
And Leon blocked everything with his bare arms.
No weapon just his body. Skin against steel.
No wounds. No blood.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew. Metal rang out. The sound was heavy and harsh. His arms were stronger than steel. His skin was like armor. His body itself was a weapon.
Then suddenly, he spun in place with incredible speed and launched a powerful roundhouse kick.
Whoooosh!
Just one kick but the force behind it was massive.
Both Patriarchs were sent flying backward violently, their bodies thrown through the air for dozens of meters. Yet they quickly regained control, twisting mid-air with clear skill before landing firmly on the ground.
Without hesitation, they rushed toward him again faster than before.
The three of them clashed once more in a fast, intense close-range battle.
Leon attacked with rapid punches and precise, destructive kicks. Every movement was controlled. Every strike carried overwhelming power. Every hit could be fatal.
The two Patriarchs responded with their katana, chakra flowing through the blades, enhancing their speed and cutting power.
Clang! Clang! Whoosh! Bam!
The Senju Patriarch attacked from the left with a fast horizontal slash aimed at Leon's neck.
Leon bent his body slightly, letting the blade pass just millimeters above his head.
Then he countered with a quick punch toward the stomach.
The Senju Patriarch jumped back, barely avoiding it.
At the same moment, the Uchiha Patriarch attacked from the right with a sharp thrust aimed at the heart, his red eyes glowing with the power of the Sharingan.
Leon twisted his body at the last moment. The blade passed just in front of his chest. He immediately responded with a powerful side kick.
The Uchiha Patriarch raised his sword to block.
BAM!
The impact was heavy. The force pushed him backward, his feet carving deep lines into the ground.
At that point, Leon had already understood their fighting styles.
The Senju Patriarch had greater raw physical strength. His strikes were heavier. His body was tougher.
BOOM!
A vertical strike came down toward Leon's head.
Leon blocked it with his bare hand. Sparks burst out from the contact point.
The Senju Patriarch pushed with all his strength. His muscles tensed, veins bulging.
But the blade didn't move.
Leon held it in place easily, a smile still on his face.
As for the Uchiha Patriarch he made up for the difference in physical strength with the Sharingan.
His reaction speed was much faster and he could read movements before they happened. Predict attacks. Understand intent.
That made his attacks sharper, more precise, perfectly timed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three fast consecutive strikes.
Neck. Heart. Liver.
Vital points.
Leon pushed the Senju Patriarch back with force, avoided the first strike, and deflected the second and third with open-palm movements at incredible speed.
Then he grabbed the blade and pulled the Uchiha Patriarch toward him before striking him with another palm attack that sent him flying.
But the Uchiha Patriarch spun in the air, regained his sword, and landed smoothly.
Then both of them attacked together again . This time with even better coordination. From the right and left and from the front and back and above and below.
Clang! Bam! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Their swords shone with flowing chakra. Their speed kept increasing.
And yet leon handled everything with clear ease.
He dodged, blocked, and countered with smooth, controlled movements. He remained completely in control of the pace of the fight.
In truth, he was only using a very small portion of his real strength.
If he wanted he could erase both of them instantly with a single strike. But that wouldn't be enjoyable so he deliberately suppressed his overwhelming power to match their current level.
He wanted to see them struggle and see them use everything they had. That was his goal.
Nearby, in the shadows, a strange dark figure was watching the entire battle in complete silence.
Black Zetsu.
The hidden schemer of this world. He muttered in a very low voice,
"Where did this monster come from?"
His gaze was fixed on Leon and the battle.
Then he added quietly,
"After this battle ends… I'll investigate the full background of this Land of the Blue Dragon myself."
But he overlooked one very important thing . While he was secretly observing the battlefield…
He himself was being observed by someone far above him and more aware and he didn't sense it at all.
Inside the Walt family base, Dan sat calmly, watching everything with perfect clarity.
His vast perception network covered this entire region of the continent, capturing every detail.
A faint, satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It seems the battle has attracted Black Zetsu's attention… just as I expected."
Then he added in a calm, certain voice,
"And it looks like the plan will proceed exactly as intended."
Everyone was moving across the board exactly as he wanted.
