Chapter 288 - Chapter 288

"Take this!"

Expansion Jutsu!

As Ultron's iron claws descended, Ryuuto's fists exploded outward like a collapsing mountain, slamming straight into the mad robot's head. But the outcome wasn't what he expected.

Ultron's mechanical arm caught one fist with ease, while his other claw snapped up to block another. His body shook, but he quickly regained balance, unharmed.

"Not bad, but your punches are nothing!" Ultron sneered triumphantly.

Ryuuto muttered under his breath, "You ever looked in a mirror? Laughing like that makes you uglier than crying." This top-tier AI robot wasn't just indestructible—it regenerated abilities, upgraded itself, and was a nightmare to deal with.

"Everything is doomed… I'll just put you in a permanent slumber!" Ultron growled, claws slashing in anticipation. Ryuuto prepared to counter, forming hand signs at lightning speed.

But Ultron didn't strike. Instead, his claws danced and clicked, a sinister rhythm that seemed designed to bend the mind. Ryuuto felt a dizzying pull, almost losing focus.

"Fall… to me!" Ultron hissed, his eyes glowing with an insane crimson light, intent on turning Ryuuto into a puppet.

Instead, Ryuuto's pupils flared red and black—the Sharingan awakened.

"Your tricks won't work on me. Don't waste your time." He condensed chakra into his palm, summoning a blazing Rasengan that pulsed with oppressive energy.

"Impossible! How can a mere human resist me?!" Ultron bellowed, shock and disbelief ripping through him. He unleashed his full power, swinging his claws wildly to create distance. That spinning sphere of energy in Ryuuto's hands was lethal—and he wasn't about to underestimate it.

"Heh, quick reaction! Didn't think you'd fear death, robot?" Ryuuto grinned, striking Ultron across the face with a slap that echoed like thunder.

"Think that was just a warm-up? Too naive!" Ryuuto taunted, Rasengan still crackling in his hand.

Ultron's mechanical visage turned a ghastly green as he growled, "Boy, don't get cocky! The more arrogant, the worse the fall!"

"Then let's see how miserable you'll be!" Ryuuto's smile stayed calm, calculating. He pulled back his other hand, readying his next move.

Vision, still weak on the ground, struggled to watch. Even he couldn't believe what he was witnessing.

"You dare humiliate me with such a trick?" Ultron's mechanical growl was laced with panic. He still refused to believe a human could do anything extraordinary.

But Ryuuto moved faster than the eye could track. A flash of light streaked toward Ultron, so fast it left only an afterimage. The sound of metal tearing rang out—black smoke hissed from Ultron's shoulder.

"What…?!"

Vision's mechanical jaw dropped. Ryuuto had struck. He had actually hit Ultron, a feat that shattered everything Vision had "learned" about humans.

"Hidden weapon?" Ultron spat, twitching with fury. Half of his superalloy body had been pierced, a minor injury but an absolute insult to his pride.

"Front attack, dummy. And I'm just getting started," Ryuuto replied, smirking. "You couldn't even stop my shuriken. You still call yourself the strongest?"

"PAY FOR THIS!" Ultron roared, rage uncontained.

Ryuuto didn't waste words. High-speed movement! Like a predatory beast, he barreled toward Ultron, wind whipping through the trees and leaves swirling violently around him. He needed to finish this before Ultron adapted further.

"Hey, Ryuuto, you're nothing but—" Ultron's voice faltered as Ryuuto vanished from sight.

Caught off guard, Ultron's aura halved in an instant. He scrambled forward, firing energy blasts wildly, desperate to locate his target—but Ryuuto was already beyond conventional reach.
