After reading through the rewards granted by the system, Sasuke, even as a consciousness rejoiced. Even one of these techniques could allow him to grow in power and advance onto the big stages of this world.
It was just as Mei as told him. If someone like him didn't die out of recklessness in this world, then he'd surely rise to the top. It was only a matter of time.
*BOOOM!*
As the two fighters are towards each other, ready to battle, the entire environment seemed to go quiet for a reason. Even the wind stopped blowing for a moment.
But...
The moment, a drop of water fell from the ceiling of a small mansion onto the ground, the palpable silence shattered, and the world raged, as the two fighters blitzed towards each other, their movements shattering the sonic barrier, leaving behind resounding booms that shook the neighbourhood.
The first collision shook the landscape, when their fists met together in an epic contest of strength. It was a necessary move to guage which fighter was the stronger of the two. This time however, Toji was completely outclassed.
His eyes widened in shock, as he felt the unnatural strength from Sasuke rattle his bones, and sending him flying straight through a large building in the distance like a rocket.
Toji's figure crashed through multiple walls, scaring the ordinary humans within said building as their screams reverberated.
However, Toji simply arose from the debris, shrugging off the damage to his body as if it was nothing, amidst the fearful glares from all the humans present. The Heavenly Restriction prided itself in its durability more than it's impressive strength. The ratio wasn't even close and this had been Toji's advantage throughout.
"Tsk. What a monster!"
Toji chuckled, trying to force back the smile that lit up his face, while twirling playful cloud in his arms as if the rumoured heaviest special grade cursed tool was nothing more than a toy to him.
He simply took in a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment, as playful cloud in his hand twirled faster and faster with every passing moment.
*BANG!*
*CRASH!*
A moment later, a flying figure crashed into the building with immense speed heading right towards Toji's figure with claws ready to tear him apart, under the stunned and fearful gazes of the humans.
However..
Toji's eyes snapped a mere millisecond away from his death, and playful cloud smashed out, like a blur, right into the chest of the beast like figure.
Sasuke was sent crashing out even faster than he had entered and his body smashed into the ground hard, forming a large crater around him.
But..
Toji's pursuit was relentless. Before Sasuke could even breathe, playful cloud was smashing towards his head from above with no room for escape. Regaining his clarity in a moment, he clenched his fists, wrapped in a fierce wave of deep purple nearly condensed cursed energy that seemed to resonate with the earth itself and punched out.
The collision swept out a fierce wind, but this time, both fighters were hurled back by the impact and sent skidding several meters away.
As a consciousness, Sasuke observed the energy that his body has used to match playful cloud in that moment and realization dawned on him. It wasn't just mere cursed energy anymore, it had a property, one that seemed to resonate with nature itself. And with this he could just draw one conclusion.
"Sage chakra.."
..
The two fighters resumed their battle instantly, resorting to close combat, like feral beasts. Each move was accompanied by immense strength that would probably instantly turn an ordinary human into a bloody paste.
Playful cloud was designed to be wielded by a sorcerer with god like physical strength and the tool itself served to provide a buff to the physical parameters of the user, yet to Toji's surprise, Sasuke was keeping up to the point of even outclassing him even at this state.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
Fist clashed against staff, and each blow caused a fierce wave to erupt around their bodies, yet the two fighters stood their ground against each other.
Tanking a blow to the jaw from playful cloud, Sasuke shrugged off the damage almost instantly and recovered fast enough to dodge a punch right to the throat. Shifting to the left side, he caught Toji off guard with a punch to the rib cage and a kick to the side that hurled the man to the side.
With the momentum from his attack, Sasuke hurled himself into the air, formed hand seals and spat out a massive fireball towards Toji.
Spitting out blood, Toji whirled playful cloud at an extreme speed and sent it smashing towards the incoming fireball.
*BANG!*
With his enormous strength, the fireball instantly tore into two from the top to the bottom and exploded on either sides of his body as his face lit up with a smile which turned into a frown in a moment.
Lifting his head, Toji saw a dozen massive fireballs blasting towards him, blotting out the sky above his head.
Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward and disappeared, turning into a literal blur, dodging those fireballs he could and ripping through those he couldn't with brute force.
After ripping through the last fireball, Toji readied himself for a counterattack only to instinctively go on the defense. With playful cloud raised above his head, he blocked an incoming slash from a rather long and incredibly sharp lightning spear construct from Sasuke.
Parrying the attack, he let playful cloud smash towards Sasuke's head, yet the youth sidestepped with incredible agility, caught Toji off guard with another punch and then waved out both hands.
The next moments, dozens of chidori spears ripped towards a displaced Toji at breakneck speed. Twisting himself unnaturally, Toji knew he had fallen for the trap, hence, he twisted himself unnaturally to prevent getting hit in any vital spots.
*BANG!*
He skid back several meters, as his feet dragged against the concrete, creating two long and dark trails, but he managed to steady himself after a moment.
Sasuke on the other hand was relentless. Toji had not even recovered from the multiple injuries on his body, when he blitzed towards the elderly man, grabbed him by the neck and blitzed into the distance with incredible speed.
*SWOOSH!!*
Sasuke's figure was like a rocket, shooting through the air, creating gaps in the clouds with Toji on tow.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
Toni however was unrelenting, unwilling to be humiliated any further. Gathering nearly all his strength in his fists, he punched right into Sasuke's face, drawing blood instantly as the youth hissed.
"This transformation of yours. It's sustained by cursed energy. Meaning, it's a cursed technique.."
Grabbing Sasuke's neck just as he grabbed his, Toji whipped out the inverted spear of Heaven from out nowhere and let it rip into Sasuke's chest.
At that point, Sasuke could feel an invisible force draw his consciousness back into his body, as a painful roar ripped from his throat. Toji, with a mad smile on his face did not stop there. His blade ripped into Sasuke's chest, time after time again, disrupting his flow of cursed energy, as his figure shifted between his transformation and his normal body.
"Hahaha!!!!"
Glaring towards Toji fiercely, a pained yet crazed laugh erupted from Sasuke's lips, and his without hesitation, his arm wrapped in a fierce current of sage energy ripped into Toji's chest stunning the elderly man instantly, as blood burst out of his mouth.
At this point, their momentum was unable to support them in midair, and the two fighters fell back to the earth at incredible speeds.
*BANG!*
Sasuke blacked out even before his body crashed into the uncompleted building below him. Toji on the other hand seemed to have disappeared mysteriously since there was no impact from his body hitting the ground.
And so the battle between the two seemed to have concluded, the winner unknown, yet the damage to the surroundings everlasting, as if two monsters had been battling for dominance.
