"That armour of yours. There is something strange about it."
"Hmph. So you found out. You see This armor absorbs chakra and makes my opponent's attack useless."
Suiko proudly proclaimed. He does not seem to be that concerned with concealing the ability of his weapon.
"I see. So why don't we test it out."
Hayama rushed in and delivered a punch directly to the armour but he failed to damage it.
"It can even weaken the taijutsu techniques."
Suiko said as he lifted his mace and swung it at Hayama.
Other than sword techniques, Hayama is also known for being able to use the body flicker technique proficiently.
Because of this, he was able to get out of the way of the attack.
He started to use hand signs as he retreated backwards outside of Suiko's attack zone.
"Didn't I just say your attacks are useless?"
Suiko said as he smiled while he slowly walked towards Hayama.
Tiger → Ox → Dog → Rabbit → Snake.
"Wind style Devastation."
Hayama released a large amount of wind from his mouth.
The attack was not absorbed by the armour as it did not make direct contact with the armour and even pushed Suiko a few steps backward.
Some Trees that were around him were even uprooted by the attack.
"Take this."
Hayama then throws some kunai that have explosive talismans attached to them towards Suiko.
The kunais hit Suiko and the explosion went off.
However, Suiko emerged from the smoke without any scratch on the armour.
"That's it. You are starting to get annoying. I am taking you out now."
Not even a scratch. That thing is more terrifying than I thought. Not only that it also seems like the armor absorbed some of my Chakra when my fist made direct contact with it. Hayama thought in his mind.
He was starting to get a little bit uneasy.
Compared to the other Jonins from Konoha he was just an ordinary person.
Not powerful enough to be part of the Anbu Corps, have no notable fame like the son of the third Hokage who formerly belonged to a powerful group, or have a unique ability or techniques like the one from the noble clans.
The only saving grace is that Suiko is not that powerful when compared to Hayama and that is the only reason why he still has a chance of defeating him.
"Vacuum Sword."
Hayama launched multiple sword slashes at Suiko.
The attacks were absorbed by the armour but then suddenly one of the attacks landed on the armour.
"Tsssssssk."
The armour was not damaged. But it did make contact.
And the noise produced when the vacuum sword hit the armour was not very loud but it was not so insignificant enough to fully go unnoticed by a Jonin.
So it does have a limit after all. Hayama thought as he smiled.
He started to do hand signs again.
He wanted to deliver a powerful attack that could exceed the absorption limit of the armour.
But to do that he needs a significant amount of time.
He only needed a single minute. But even such a short amount of time like a minute is a luxury in a battle that will decide the fate between life and death.
"Vacuum palm."
He unleashed a powerful gust from his palm.
He wanted to at least stall Suiko for a few seconds with one of his jutsu and try to buy a little more time after that.
He could not waste time so he started to put wind chakra nature into his sword.
Suiko realized what he was doing and started to attack him with the hope that the jonin would fail to use his attack.
Suiko tried hitting Hayama with his mace but it was too sluggish, slow and predictable so Hayama was able to get out of the way of his attack.
He then launched another attack but it was absorbed by the armor.
He didn't give up and launched another attack.
He attacks relentlessly. One slash after another while dodging the slow and predictable attacks from Suiko.
And then finally it happened.
One of Hayama's attacks landed on Suiko's right arm before his armour could absorb it slicing it off completely.
"Ahhhhh."
Suiko yelled out so loudly that his voice even scared off the crows that were resting on trees nearby.
Suiko was shocked.
He was a powerful Ninja even without his armor.
But as someone from a small village, his abilities could never match up to that of a Jonin from one of the five Shinobi countries.
And he knew that.
In the past he would not have even thought about fighting against a veteran Konoha Chunin let alone a Jonin.
But after receiving the armour his mindset changed.
The armour is not powerful enough to fight against jonin from the five great Shinobi countries who have access to numerous powerful jutsu, abilities and training facilities.
But he became strong enough to easily defeat those who he thought he would not be able to defeat.
As someone from a small village, he has limited experience against powerful ninjas from the five great Shinobi countries as they could not care less about him and his village.
After getting the armour he has not encountered any shinobi from the five great ninja countries let alone a jonin or a veteran Chunin.
So he was drunk on power and ignorant of the reality that he is still a frog in a well.
Until now that is.
"You bastard."
Suiko cursed off Hayama.
But before he could retilate his head was sliced off cleanly by the Jonin.
Hayama was not in a position to listen to his words.
After all, he has to kill him off before his chakra is depleted and the armour absorption functions reactivated.
"That armour is troublesome. But if handled properly at least it would help the village create another powerful jonin-level Shinobi. I heard that Guy is training a girl that primarily uses weapons. Maybe I could sell it to Guy."
Hayama then removed the armour from the now lifeless Suiko's body.
Normally most Konoha Shinobis don't loot the bodies of their dead enemies or allies but the armor was too good of an item to pass up for even the most honorable Shinobi.
Of course, there are still Konoha Shinobis who would refuse to loot weapons and items that are even far greater than the armour but Hayama was not among them.

Name- Infinite Armour
Debut- Episode #218
Arc- Sunagakure Support Mission (Filler)
Function- *Almost* indestructible. Can nullify attacks or reduce damage from the enemy attacks by absorbing Chakra. The absorbed Chakra can be accessed by the person wearing the armour. There is a short cooldown for the Chakra absorption function after a certain amount of Chakra is absorbed. During this period (which lasts for a few seconds), the armour cannot absorb Chakra. Even then it is still *almost* indestructible during this short cooldown time.
