Cap 310: That's my Nindo!
Cap 310: That's my Nindo!
"Don't get distracted when you fight me!" - Gai roared as the chakra in his body began to grow considerably- "It's time for Round 2... Kyōmon... KAI!"
Madara flew off the moment he felt Gai's firm fist, only for Gai to appear behind him and send him flying into the sky. Gai was treating his opponent as if he were a ping-pong ball bouncing back and forth, though from the look on the Jubi's new Jinchuriki's face, he didn't seem to be taking much damage.

"Done..." - Kushina muttered as she saw how Madara's Susano had been completely absorbed by her chains.
"Ugh... I promise never to do anything like that again..." - Mito muttered as she wiped off her sweat.
"What was that!" - Onoki exclaimed in surprise as he saw how such a colossal entity had disappeared without a trace.
"Forbidden Fuinjutsu Uzumaki" - replied Mito as she looked at the old Tsuchikage - "We sacrificed some of our blood and vitality to create a Seal so powerful that it can seal the Kekkei Genkai of our victims in our chains."
"!" - those present trembled in terror as they recalled the very dangerous abilities that members of the Uzumaki clan had before that clan was on the verge of extinction.
"It is a powerful technique, but it can only be used twice in an Uzumaki's lifetime, and it is only accessible to those who are of pure blood" - Kushina added seriously - "Because the descendants of half-blood cannot handle the burden of the loss of Uzumaki blood."
"When you say blood..." - Orochimaru said with slight interest - "Do you mean the level of purity that gives you such unique abilities?"
"Exactly" - replied Mito seriously - "For all the different clans of the Elemental Nations, the level of blood purity not only shows the advantage these members have over the other members of the clan, but it also means they have a higher chance of getting the Kekkei Genkai of the clan, that's why many clans practice incest and thus maintain a pure bloodline"
"Ok, I'm surprised..." - Madara's clone said while frowning at such a situation - "I guess I'll have to inform the original."
"Wait, Madara!" - Zetsu exclaimed, only to roar with fury as he watched the clone disappear - "I'm going to kill you, Madara!"
"Well, I guess it's time for us to kill you and get this shit over with..." - Mito said as she cracked her knuckles.
": . ." - Black Zetsu could only growl fiercely as his forces continued to fight the shinobi of the allied forces.
"We better get this over with quickly, I have a lot to talk with you, Tsu-chan" - Mito said as she looked at her granddaughter, only to release her chains.
"In this battle you are useless, Nii-san" - said Tobirama while concentrating all the Suiton chakra in the atmosphere - "Suiton: Suidanha!"
A strong shot of pressurized water came out of the mouth and cut half of the enemies.
"Hey, don't be mean!" - Hashirama exclaimed as he frowned.
* * * * *
"You're funny!" - Madara exclaimed excitedly as he continued to fight Gai - "I haven't felt this excitement during a battle since I fought Hashirama!"
Madara was elated as the sound of his fight against Gai grew louder and louder, though from one moment to the next he frowned as he discovered the reason for his now disconnection with his Susano - "I see... that explains a few things, though I have to admit it is a very impressive ability, I guess that also explains why they were chased to extinction..."
If the Uzumaki clan possessed such powerful arts, it was more than enough reason to be hunted down.
"I warned you, don't look away while fighting me!" - Gai roared as he accelerated to full speed. His body was completely red, as if his flesh was boiling at an unimaginable temperature.
"I promise not to do it again!" - Madara replied as he deflected the strike from the Taijutsu expert, only to counterattack with a firm kick to the liver.
Gai quickly stepped back because he knew how hard and tough the Jubi Jinchuriki's body was, but after seeing that he had managed to dodge the attack, he quickly went back on the offensive.
A huge smile was present on Madara's face as he continued to exchange blows with Gai, though his expression changed when he felt his heart begin to pound, as if telling him that something was about to happen. He trusted his instincts more than anything else in the world because not only had it saved his life countless times, but it had been responsible for helping him capture the Kyubi no Kitsune in ancient times.
"You're the strongest shinobi I've faced so far, so I'll fight with everything I've got!" - Gai roared as his chakra began to expand. A strange blue aura began to emanate from every pore of his body as he felt the pressure of so much power begin to take its toll, though gritting his teeth he continued to move - "Feel the power of the new generations!"
Gai quickly concentrated all of his chakra into his fist as the color of his chakra began to change to a completely silver one, taking the shape of a huge tiger.
"Interesting... This is very interesting!" - Madara exclaimed with excitement because he could feel how the man in front of him, was getting closer and closer to his physical capabilities that in itself were already monstrous thanks to possessing inside him the most powerful tailed beast that ever existed - "Show me that power you say so much!"
"Hirudora (Daytime Tiger)!" - Gai roared as he shot up next to his technique - "TAKE ALL MY POWER OF YOUTH CONCENTRATED IN MY FIST!"
Madara didn't dodge the attack, he just extended his hands and took the blow full on, creating a huge smokescreen in the process.
Gai quickly stepped back when he saw the result of his technique, but he didn't let his guard down. He was fully aware that something like this would not be enough to defeat someone like Madara, and as if he had heard his thoughts, his opponent replied.
"Very good technique, I can even say that it hurt too much..." - Madara said as the curtain of dust surrounding his body disappeared, showing that he hadn't suffered any damage - "If I had been a normal person, I would have died leaving only a bloody cloud..."
Gai smiled ruefully when he saw that his technique had been ineffective. He had seen the difference between the physical abilities the two had and had come to the conclusion that Madara not only had a much better physique than his passively, but also possessed monstrous regenerative abilities. He was a true melee killing machine, one that was causing Gai to unleash his full potential, so he could continue fighting.
"Keep fighting, Maito Gai..." - Madara said as his smile grew - "Keep on amusing me!"
Gai quickly crossed his arms, so he could block the attack was coming in his direction, only to grit his teeth hard when he felt how his arms were about to break with just one blow from his opponent.
"Nice reaction time..." - Madara said coldly - "A few more seconds and you would have died because your heart was flying out of your chest..."
Gai's expression didn't change, he continued to watch Madara with a huge smile on his face, as if everything was fine despite the critical situation he was in. He could feel how his chakra was starting to get out of control, how his body was screaming for him to stop, how his unquenchable flames were starting to show symptoms of going out.
"It doesn't matter if the situation is bad.... it doesn't matter if everyone has given up..." - Gai muttered as he recalled the words his father had said to him - "It doesn't matter if everyone kicks you while you're down.... You have to keep walking forward with a smile! If you fall, then get up no matter how many times you touch the ground! No matter how many times you feel like everything is wrong, you let your Flames of Youth keep lighting up with the intensity of a thousand suns!"
"Let my Flames of Youth burn! Let them burn along with my desire to continue fighting for a better future!" - Gai roared in fury as he felt the chains on his body begin to break - "No matter how many times I fall defeated during this fight, I will always keep going, I will always rise with greater power because that is my Nindo, that is my ninja way! Shimon (Gate of Death)... Kai!"
