Chapter 214: Reaching the Limit, The Miraculous Effect of Kidō
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A roaring fireball crashed toward Yuichi.
"Bakudō #39. Enkosen (Arc Shield)!"
Yuichi waved his hand. Without chanting, a circular shield of condensed energy appeared, blocking the fireball.
"Come again!" Madara shouted, seemingly enjoying himself.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!"
Madara unleashed several Fire Style attacks in succession without stopping, his expression becoming increasingly manic. Flames burst out one after another, the intense heat scorching the air.
Yuichi didn't stop either, releasing Kidō to counter.
"Hadō #31. Shakkahō!"
"Hadō #54. Haien (Abolishing Flames)!"
He used both defensive and offensive Kidō. The collision of Ninjutsu and Kidō erupted with fierce roars. The two traded blows back and forth, the contest entering a heated stage.
People from both worlds stared wide-eyed. From physical combat to giant avatars, and now a long-range energy duel—these two were stubborn.
The Ninjas marveled at Madara's machine-gun-like release of Ninjutsu. Does this guy have infinite Chakra?
The people of Pirate world were even more shocked by Yuichi. This strange attack must be a trick developed by Yuichi himself using Haki! Haki can evolve into such varied methods! This was an unprecedented discovery for the Pirate World. The variety of Kidō could not be explained by a Devil Fruit; it had to be a Haki application.
On the Marine side, Commander-in-Chief Kong, who was checking on Garp, sighed. "He created a unique way of using Haki alone... Kidō! This is a force no less than a Devil Fruit!"
If Yuichi hadn't left the Marines, Kidō could have been taught to the Vice Admirals, greatly increasing the World Government's strength.
"Five Elders... this is probably the worst decision you've ever made!" Kong thought.
Yuichi released Kidō madly, colliding head-on with Madara. However, as time passed, Madara noticed something.
"It seems you have reached your limit!" Madara sneered. "From the start until now, the level of this trick called Kidō you've used hasn't exceeded #55! You can't use the later tricks, can you?"
Whitebeard and the others realized Madara was right. The highest number Yuichi had called out was 54. It was impressive that he had developed over 50 kinds, but now he seemed out of options while Madara still had plenty of Ninjutsu.
Yuichi didn't answer immediately. His attention was on his system panel.
[Host: Yuichi]
[Template Character: Byakuya Kuchiki]
[Current Awakening Progress: 69.78%]
He was barely below 70%. Crossing that threshold would unlock the second scene of Senbonzakura and higher-level Kidō.
[Kidō: High (Freely use all Kidō below No. 55)]
Currently, he could only use Kidō up to No. 54. This was enough to stall, but not to counter Madara's barrage indefinitely.
Yuichi looked up. "Would you like to see more Kidō? Don't worry! I will use it when I need it!"
"Hadō #11. Tsuzuri Raiden (Bound Lightning)!"
Crackling! Lightning erupted from Yuichi's hand, heading straight for Madara. Madara blocked it with Lightning Style.
"That's right! But if you don't use stronger moves soon, I will win this duel!"
Yuichi watched his progress bar.
[Current Awakening Progress: 69.80% (+0.02%)]
Yuichi smiled. Fighting with Kidō increased his awakening progress much faster than meditation. Byakuya Kuchiki excelled not just in swordsmanship, but also in Kidō.
Yuichi's eyes lit up. "Hadō #4. Byakurai!"
Chapter 215: Awakening Progress 70%, Opening Advanced Kidō
"Hadō #32. Ōkasen (Yellow Fire Flash)!"
A golden light burst from Yuichi's palm.
[Current Awakening Progress: +0.03%]
"Bakudō #8. Seki (Repulse)!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
While attacking with Hadō, Yuichi deflected the kunai Madara threw with the back of his hand using the repulsion shield.
[Current Awakening Progress: +0.03%]
Seeing Yuichi easily bounce off the hidden weapons, Madara found it even more interesting. "Let's see how much you can block!"
Madara pulled a series of shuriken from his pouch and threw them. Yuichi flicked his fingertips.
"Hadō #1. Shō!"
Continuous bursts of thrust knocked down all the weapons in mid-air.
[Current Awakening Progress: +0.01%]
[Current Awakening Progress: +0.01%]
As Yuichi stared at the increasing numbers, Madara clapped his hands abruptly.
"Don't you have a stronger attack? Then I won't wait any longer. You already know the power of Ninjutsu, so let me show you another power! Wood Style!"
Madara smiled. "A reminder: with your current strength, you probably can't stop this! If you don't use stronger moves, you will be overwhelmed!"
[Congratulations Host]
[Character Template Byakuya Kuchiki Awakening Progress reached 70%]
[Unlocked: Zanpakutō Senbonzakura Bankai]
Yuichi looked at the Kidō display bar.
[Kidō: Top (Freely use all Kidō below No. 60)]
Only up to No. 60? Yuichi was slightly disappointed.
The Chakra surging on Madara's body became turbulent. "I'm going to do it, Yuichi! Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Boom!
The ground shook. The Ninjas watched in shock.
"Wood Style? He can use Wood Style too?"
"Aside from the First Hokage, this implies there's a second person who can use it!"
Boom boom boom!!
Huge vines burst from the ground around Madara, scrolling toward Yuichi like a torrent. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding ruins were turned into a virgin forest.
Yuichi was instantly surrounded. The vines attacked, trying to entangle him.
Whitebeard and the others backed away. "Don't hold back, brat! Even if you lose the magic duel, it's not a big deal! You created Kidō, an art belonging to this world!"
Madara nodded. "Indeed! A guy who can develop a power system is worthy of admiration. Even I, Uchiha Madara, admire you! But... this guy definitely won't bow his head!"
Madara was right. Yuichi wouldn't retreat. But Wood Style contained astonishing power; standard Kidō couldn't destroy it easily.
Yuichi grasped the handle of his Zanpakutō.
[Congratulations Host]
[All three scenes of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi unlocked]
[Template Awakening increased to 85%]
[Due to the full opening of Senbonzakura, the path is open to No. 90]
[Kidō: Top (Freely use all Kidō below No. 90)]
Ninety! Yuichi laughed aloud. This was fantastic.
He looked at the Wood Style vines raging toward him. The sound of wind breaking was approaching fast.
Whitebeard grabbed his bisento, Murakumogiri. "Don't wait! If this kid continues, he will be trapped." He prepared to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to intervene.
However, a voice sounded from within the vines.
"Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone..."
Everyone's expressions changed. This is it!
"Flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Carve the twin lotus on the wall of blue fire, and await the great fire of the distant heavens!"
Yuichi's voice carried a terrifying sense of destruction.
"Hadō #73..."
Madara stared at Yuichi through the gaps in the vines.
"Sōren Sōkatsui (Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down)!!!"
Boom!!
Blue flames burst out, covering Yuichi's entire body. The scorching hot wind spread, instantly igniting the attacking Wood Style vines. Yuichi slowly raised his right hand, opening his fist.
The blue flame exploded into a huge wave, rushing fiercely at the Wood Style forest!
A deafening roar erupted. The blue flames and the wood collided, but the power of the fire was stronger. The forest was being eaten away.
Madara smiled. Sure enough, there are stronger tricks!
"Madara! I'll pay you back next time, be careful! There are two ways to release Kidō: with incantation and without! The former unleashes perfect power, while the latter only exerts a fraction!"
A black light burst from Yuichi's eyes.
"Next is my strongest Kidō! Watch closely!"
Yuichi held up his hands.
"Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness!"
"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)!!!"
