The instant Hashirama announced the beginning of the battle—
Uchiha Yū’s eyes turned crimson.
Three black tomoe appeared in each eye.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
At the same time, his hands blurred through a series of seals.
“Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!”
BOOM!
A towering wall of fire erupted forward.
It rose dozens of meters into the air and spread across an enormous area, its scorching heat washing over the training ground.
At the same moment—
Yū threw five kunai.
They flew toward Sora in a straight line.
Then—
CLANG!
The kunai collided with one another in midair.
Their trajectories instantly changed.
Five weapons suddenly approached Sora from completely different angles.
Sora’s eyes remained calm.
“Dugu Nine Swords—”
“Arrow-Breaking Stance!”
Snow Blade flashed from its sheath.
Sword shadows flickered.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
All five kunai were struck.
But instead of merely being deflected— they reversed direction.
WHOOSH!
The five kunai shot straight back through the wall of flames.
Toward Uchiha Yū.
Yū immediately dodged.
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly as his hands formed another sequence of seals.
“Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!”
More than a dozen shuriken flew from his hands.
Then— flames from the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique wrapped around every spinning blade.
The burning shuriken scattered through the air like blazing flowers.
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
They attacked from nearly every direction.
Almost every possible escape route around Sora was sealed.
But—
Sora didn’t move.
Not even a single step.
The students watching from hundreds of meters away stared in disbelief.
The flaming shuriken rushed toward him— then passed by.
One flew beside his shoulder.
Another passed close to his waist.
Several swept past his head and legs.
Yet not a single one struck him.
Yū had anticipated Sora’s extraordinary speed.
That was exactly why he’d designed the attack to cover every direction Sora might dodge toward.
Unfortunately for him—
Sora currently possessed the abilities of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Along with that power came part of Yamamoto’s immense combat experience.
To Sora, the trajectories of those flames and shuriken were painfully obvious.
He didn’t need to dodge.
Not one of them had actually been aimed at the space where he stood.
For Sora— it was simple.
For the students watching?
It was terrifying.
“So many attacks…”
“He didn’t move at all!”
“What if one of them had actually hit him?!”
“He wasn’t even scared?”
Sora finally lifted one foot.
Then he began walking toward Yū.
Step by step.
“Fire…”
Sora said calmly.
“is useless against me.”
Then—
Shunpo!
His figure vanished.
In the next instant, he appeared directly in front of the enormous wall of flames.
Snow Blade suddenly ignited.
WHOOM!
Blazing fire wrapped around the blade.
Sora looked at the inferno before him.
“Ryūjin Jakka.”
Then— he stepped directly into the wall of fire.
Something extraordinary happened.
The massive flames seemed to come alive.
As though they had suddenly encountered their king.
Their ruler.
Their absolute master.
The flames naturally separated to both sides.
A path opened directly in front of Sora.
Not even a spark touched his body.
Sora himself didn’t completely understand the principle behind it.
After activating Yamamoto’s abilities, the sword in his hand had somehow taken on a strange life of its own.
It had effectively transformed into a Zanpakutō belonging to a Shinigami.
And among all fire-type Zanpakutō—
Ryūjin Jakka stood at the pinnacle.
All flames fell beneath its dominion.
Yū’s expression changed.
But he didn’t stop.
His hands formed another set of seals.
“Fire Release: Twin-Headed Dragon Fire Technique!”
ROAR!
Flames gathered.
Two gigantic fire dragons formed in front of Yū.
Then both charged toward Sora simultaneously.
Each dragon stretched for dozens of meters.
Their enormous heads alone were larger than some of the younger students watching from afar.
A young Uchiha student stared with shining eyes.
“So powerful!”
“Lord Yū’s Fire Release is incredible!”
No one argued.
The sight was overwhelming.
Two enormous fire dragons were roaring across the battlefield.
They were fast.
Massive.
And terrifyingly destructive.
For some of the five- and six-year-old children, simply watching them was frightening.
A few instinctively turned their faces away.
Others reacted completely differently.
Their eyes shone with excitement.
“Fire Release is so cool!”
“That’s amazing!”
Sora heard the children shouting behind him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
That should be enough of a demonstration.
He raised Snow Blade.
No complicated technique.
No elaborate movement.
Sora simply swung his sword.
One ordinary slash.
WHOOM!
A gigantic flaming sword wave more than ten meters long tore through the air.
The twin fire dragons had already reached Sora— but against that slash…
they were fragile.
The flame blade cut directly through the head of the first dragon.
Then the second.
BOOM!
Both enormous dragons shattered.
Their bodies collapsed into countless fragments of flame before dispersing in midair.
One sword.
That was all it took.
The spectacular Fire Release technique that had left the students staring in envy— was gone.
Yū frowned.
There had been a reason he’d continuously chosen large-scale Fire Release techniques.
He wanted to prevent Sora from approaching him.
Sora’s speed was terrifying.
But no matter how fast someone was, charging directly through a large enough sea of flames should still burn them.
That had been the idea.
Yet Sora had abandoned the terrifying taijutsu he’d used half a year ago.
Instead— he was using swordsmanship.
And somehow, his sword could effortlessly destroy Yū’s Fire Release.
For the first time, Yū realized just how formidable Sora’s swordsmanship truly was.
Then he sneered.
“Enough.”
Sora raised an eyebrow.
Yū continued confidently,
“Fire Release was only the opening.”
“Now…”
“I’ll show you the strongest power of the Uchiha clan.”
His expression became arrogant.
“Once I use it—”
“your defeat will be inevitable.”
Sora smiled.
“Oh?”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Yū’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan began spinning.
Faster.
And faster.
The three tomoe rotated until they suddenly connected.
The familiar pattern disappeared.
In its place— a strange new design formed across his crimson eyes.
Sora’s smile deepened.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
BOOM!
Yū’s presence exploded.
The aura of a genuine Kage-level shinobi erupted across the battlefield.
Even the students standing five hundred meters away suddenly felt an invisible pressure descend upon them.
Their breathing became difficult.
Homura’s eyes widened.
“This…”
“This is too strong!”
Another student gasped.
“I can’t breathe!”
“My legs…!”
“I can’t stand!”
“So this…”
“This is the strength of a truly powerful shinobi?!”
The older students trembled.
The younger children stared in fear.
Uchiha Yū stood at the center of the battlefield— his newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan burning crimson in his eyes.
