18 Officially Pissed

____________________________

AN: To be honest i was and still am a bit scared of posting this chapter, for the simple reason that it's not all about Madara destroying everyone like the ultimate chad, like it happened on Naruto... well it's understandable, he is not the real madara, he is 11, and he does not have chakra to enhance himself... but regardless... people have their tastes and what they want to read.... and i feel like a lot of people will hate me after this chapter, i can only hope to be wrong... but i have my story to tell, and i will tell it regardless.

Madara was tense, this would be the toughest battle of his life, he was already partially tired after sailing for so long and rushing here at full speed for hours, he was starving since he didn't eat a single thing since he left the ship, and he couldn't use guerilla tactics to fight these soldiers as he did before, otherwise a part of them could go back to chase Toph instead of focusing on him, adding just the sheer numbers of opponents…

Looking around 'Should i just use another 'Great Fire Annihilation'?' he shook his head 'No, the terrain is against me this time, they are too spread out and there's obstacles everywhere...'

There were no other possibilities that he could think at this time, he needed to make them ignore Toph's existence, so he needed to fight them head-on.

'C'mon Madara, I have chosen you for a reason, don't disappoint me now!'

Zhao on the other hand was very relaxed, he couldn't really see what the Greedy Ghost looked like since there was no moonlight to illuminate the swamp tonight and the man was dressed fully in black, but he knew that this person was his ticket to a promotion.

'I might get my general badge after this' he grinned.

The stare-down didn't last long, Madara moved first.

He dashed full speed towards the soldiers, with his sharingan slowly spinning and a battle-crazed smile on his face.

'I'm going to kill you all!'

As he was mid-run a wave of fire covered his vision, having no cover in sight he quickly jumped as high as he could, dodging the wave.

Doing a spin in the air, he tossed a kunai to the side.

ZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The wire wrapped around a tree trunk.

Looking towards the soldiers he saw a second wave of fire coming towards him mid-air, he pulls the wire with his full strength and due to it being tied around a tree, he moved towards the kunai instead of the kunai moving back towards him, dodging the second wave.

'So that's how it works.' his sinister smile grew more.

He landed sideways with his feet on the tree trunk and jumped towards the next tree, moving closer and closer to the soldiers while dodging wave after wave of fire, either using his speed or the trees as cover.

'I need to infiltrate their numbers…'

He jumped towards the next tree, a wave of fire passing right above his shoulder.

'.. As long as I'm alone I will be an easy target for their firebending…'

The closer he got to his enemies the more chaotic their attacks became, abandoning the combined firebending and attacking individually, aiming to strike from every direction.

Using his wires, he swings towards the next tree trunk. As he is about to step on the branch his sharingan captured a firebender aiming at the precise location where he was about to land, the man didn't ignite the fire yet, but his eyes could see the chi inside his body moving.

He instantly moved his hand.

"ARGH!" the soldier in question screamed with a kunai lodged between his fingers all the way to the handle.

Madara landed safely and stared at the crowd right ahead of him.

'All is going well... now let's show them the ultimate taijutsu!'

Jumping as far as he could he managed to land in the middle of the soldier's formation.

Using his lower stance due to the landing he put his hand on the ground and did a quick break dance spin sending a fire wave through his feet in 360 degrees around him.

The ring of fire expanded and caught over a dozen soldiers unprepared.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH" many screams of pain

"H-he is a firebender!"

Zhao was shocked at the battle and the revelation and grew serious. 'What?! This...this person is way too skilled to be unknown…'

When the soldiers tried to reach him, he used one kunai attached to the metal wire as a whip in each hand to keep hacking them down and if they tried to maintain distance, for a firebending counter he sent his own wave of fire through his feet by kicking and spinning.

Yes, he was surrounded, but the soldiers were slow due to their armor and had a limited field of view due to their helmets, Madara was just too fast, nimble and short due to his age, for every fireball that they managed to hit, 10 soldiers were taken down, and since he was in the middle of the battalion, the soldiers in the back couldn't just throw fire at him or they would hit their own people.

With a slightly pained expression due to a hit on the back of his shoulder he turned around and sliced the throat of the soldier by controlling a kunai through the wire.

'Now it's become a battle of attrition… and I won't lose!'

Toph was being carried by the badgermole at full speed towards Gao Ling, it took her two hours to reach her destination, dropping from her new friend she moved as fast as she could towards the Beifong estate, the rain started pouring as she hastened her steps, using her rough seismic sense to avoid being seen.

Once she was about to enter the estate, she heard a voice.

"Miss Beifong?!"

She jumped, but then calmed down when she recognized that voice "Lei?"

"Yes, it's me Miss Beifong, what are you doing out here?"

"Lei! You have to help Madara, he is surrounded by countless Fire Nation soldiers in the swamp!" she exclaimed.

"Calm down young miss, come with me!" he grabbed her tiny hand "I apologize" and guided her towards Madara's training area.

Once they entered and closed the door, Lei spotted Kaliya and gulped, she was wearing Madara's black robes, but they were too small for her so they were very tight, and her massive assets were easily noticeable. Damn this woman is hot... wtf?!

"Ah Jackie! What did ye bring for food?" she asked in a lazy tone while stretching her body.

Gulp. I'm a married man, I'm a married man. He shook his head and concentrated "Mr. Uchiha was surrounded by the Fire Nation inside the Foggy Swamp."

She just shrugged "Yeah? What are ye worried about? That guy did the biggest wave of fire of the century and burned me ship to cinders alongside me crew, he will turn those pesky soldiers into ashes"

Toph was actually surprised, she didn't know Madara was a firebender, and according to what she just heard, an absurdly powerful one at that!

But Lei didn't seem that calm, he shook his head "You don't understand! Your ship was an easy target and your crew was packed inside it, and even with that… Mr. Uchiha disappeared for a whole day after bringing you to our ship, I assume he was dead tired, a power of that scale was surely exhausting for him, but now it's different… he is surrounded, he won't be able to pull the same trick and even if he does, I doubt he will hit every enemy with it!"

Kaliya grew serious, she didn't think about that "Ye right Jackie, by the way... who is the little toad over there?" She said with a smug grin looking at Toph.

Toph snorted "Someone that will beat the shit out of you one day if you don't shut up." She crossed her arms and huffed.

Jackie went between the two "Calm down, now is not the time for this drama, Kaliya you go to the Foggy Swamp to help Mr. Uchiha, Toph I will lead you to the bathroom to take a shower, you can't go face your parents looking like that, I will ask my wife to smuggle some of your clothes out of your chambers, she is one of your maids so it will be easy for her."

Toph narrowed her eyes and walked long strides towards the corner.

Kaliya narrowed her eyes towards Toph 'this little one got heart...' she grinned and stood up and moved towards the exit, but before she could reach the lever a hand grabbed her arm with a hard grip, turning around she saw Lei looking at her with a murderous expression.

"If you dare to betray Mr.Uchiha, I will hunt you down and kill you myself." He said in a low and somber tone while his narrow eyes kept staring at hers.

Back on the battlefield, Madara was surrounded by corpses, he kept killing soldier after soldier but they seemed to never end.

There were already beads of sweat covering his forehead 'Are these fuckers respawning or something?!'

He crouched, dodging a point blank fireball, grabbed the soldier's wrist and throat with his hands and used him as a shield against another fireball.

Zhao at this point was actually starting to fear that person 'He already downed at least 60 men, with who knows how many more injured… and it doesn't seem like he is out of gas yet...' he looked around and saw only 20 to 30 peak state soldiers remaining.

Trying to grab Madara, three soldiers rushed towards him, noticing this Madara jumped high and landed his feet on a soldier's shoulders right before doing a backflip to evade a fireball that was instantly thrown at him, as he landed, he pulled one of his last kunai and lunged it towards the soldier's jaw from below his helmet, piercing through his skull.

He had to let go of his weapon to do a quick roll to the side and evade a kick aiming for his head, mid-roll he opened his mouth and breathed fire directly to that soldier's crotch since he had one leg raised high.

'My stamina … I can feel my movements getting slower already… damn I should've eaten and rested a bit!' he dodged again, killing another soldier by throwing his final kunai at his eye.

'Their numbers are finally down…' he looked around he grinned. 'Luckily, I saved some of my chi... using firebending only for precise attacks or to defend… this damn child's body! Madara did this easily, why's it so hard for me?! Am I missing something?!?!'

His thoughts were interrupted by a heavy kick to his chest that sent him back a few feet.

Cough 'damn that hurts you motherfucker!' landing on his feet he got into his stance again.

Looking up, he saw the smug grin on Zhao's face as he retracted his foot

"Commendable endurance, to think you were so young…" he couldn't really see Madara's face because it was covered by his messy mane, but with his voice and height, there was no mistake.

"You could've been an asset for the Fire Nation… "

"Heh, If that pathetic Fire Lord wants me to serve him, call him here to have an Agni Kai with me, if he wins, then I will accept it" Madara chuckled and spat on the ground.

Zhao frowned and got pissed "PREPOSTEROUS!! You filthy commoner dare to speak like that about our Fire Lord?! I will make it easier for you to fight then, I will fight you myself so I can teach you where you belong."

Madara roared in laughter, those words triggered him "make it easier for me to fight, you say?!" His sharingan glowed and Zhao got scared when he saw those demonic red eyes.

"Congratulations bug, you officially pissed me off" he took a deep breath and fire came out of his mouth as he slowly exhaled "If that's the case... then I will make it easier for you to run, I will fight you seriously so I can teach you the meaning of FEAR!"

A clap of loud thunder echoed through the skies as he shouted his final word, a blue aura appeared around him and a spectral ribcage started to form, encasing him inside it.
