Naruto : Transforming the Ninja World into a Harem World

As silence reigned supreme on the battlefield, a presence suddenly made itself felt. The elder from before, the one who had challenged Akira, appeared before him, his arm armed with one of the characteristic black rods of his clan.

"You don't seriously think we're going to let you act as you please, do you?" he exclaimed, the rod frozen a few centimeters from the young man.

Akira eyed him disdainfully. "Do I need your permission!?" he retorted, pausing. "Besides, if you really plan to kill me, you'll have to attack me all at once. After all, you are nothing but weaklings."

His gaze then turned to the patriarch. "That goes for you too, patriarch," he added with a contemptuous smile.

A growl rose among the elders, but the patriarch raised his hand to silence them. A strange smile spread across his lips.

"Your power surpasses comprehension, Akira. Now that I think about it, you have always been an anomaly since your birth." He paused, then declared, "That is why we are going to eliminate this anomaly."

Akira nodded, a smile on his lips. "I see," he simply said, before deactivating his Limitless.

"So you've decided to give up your protection?" the patriarch asked.

"There's no pleasure in fighting while being protected," Akira replied, stretching his muscles. "And how about we stop talking?" Without wasting time, he lunged at the patriarch, leaving a small crater on the ground.

But before he could reach his target, he was intercepted by an elder who delivered a downward kick, halting him in midair and propelling him to the ground. When he hit the ground, a crater formed, but Akira wasted no time. He performed a double backflip, avoiding the rods that came piercing where he had been. Pivoting to the right, he dodged another elder's attack and immediately grabbed him by the head, delivering a knee strike to the solar plexus, making him spit saliva.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Akira threw his opponent towards the patriarch, forcing the latter to move to avoid it. Seizing the confusion, Akira rushed at another elder, hitting him with a punch to the ribs, sending him back several meters.

Suddenly, Akira sensed danger emanating from behind. He quickly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the blow from the patriarch. With a leap, he stepped back a few paces.

"So you've finally decided to make a move?" Akira taunted, a smug smile on his face.

Without a word, the two opponents charged at each other. Their collision was devastating, creating a shockwave that destroyed the ground beneath their feet.

The patriarch took the initiative and delivered a powerful right punch straight into Akira's stomach. He managed to block the blow without difficulty, but the force of the impact made him lose his footing. Akira seized this opportunity and sent a knee strike towards the patriarch's face. The latter managed to dodge the blow by tilting his head to the side, then turned around to deliver a kick. The patriarch blocked the attack, but the force of the blow made him step back a few paces, leaving marks on the ground.

Before Akira's feet even touched the ground, the two opponents disappeared in a flash, leaving only shockwaves in their wake.

Boom... boom... boom... boom... boom... boom...

The two fighters relentlessly attacked each other, seeking a weakness in each other's defense. Their confrontation had serious repercussions on their surroundings, destroying everything in their path.

Suddenly, one of the elders exclaimed in astonishment, "I can't believe Akira is holding his own against the patriarch!"

But another elder immediately cut him off, stating sternly, "It's quite the opposite. The patriarch is completely being dominated."

These words silenced the others, but some refused to accept this reality. One of them growled in rage, "It's impossible! The patriarch can't..."

But he didn't have time to finish his sentence. Suddenly, a dull sound echoed as someone was thrown against a building, destroying it in the process. When the debris settled, everyone saw Akira suspended alone in the air, a concentrated purple energy in his hand.

A moment later, Akira released this energy, which exploded with a deafening noise, blowing up the entire area.

Wide-eyed, the elders realized that Akira's strength far exceeded their understanding. Despite being the most powerful in their clan, they were no match for this young man standing before them.

The patriarch suddenly appeared in front of the elders, his body covered in wounds.

"I did tell you to all attack me at once," Akira emphasized haughtily, looking down at him.

Without a word, the patriarch raised his arms towards the lifeless bodies of the Otsutsuki. Two Rinnegan then appeared in his palms, and he began to absorb their vitality.

Seeing this, one of the elders exclaimed urgently, "Patriarch, if you do this, the repercussions will be severe!"

But the patriarch remained impassive and continued his absorption. As he did so, his strength seemed to multiply. After a moment, he halted the absorption. His appearance had changed radically - his hair had lengthened, and his body had shifted from a pale to a red hue, with black lines running through it.

"Yumi already told me about this..." Akira began to say, but he didn't have time to finish his sentence. The patriarch's fist suddenly shot towards his face and struck him violently, sending him flying. Akira crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Akira was seen getting up, a trickle of blood running from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood with the back of his hand, then a wild smile spread across his lips.

"Let's begin the second round," he declared.
