"Qianyu, be careful!"
"Captain..."
Uchiha Qianyu did not dodge or retreat. He still fought fire with fire, launching his own Fire Style Ninjutsu.
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"
An equally blazing and majestic stream of dragon fire burst forth, blasting out like a meteor cannonball and violently colliding with the Great Fireball Technique.
However, at that moment...
Sarutobi Hiogo snorted coldly and swiftly crossed his hands, forming seals once more with incredible speed as he unleashed another technique...
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
In an instant, a water dragon spewed from his mouth, instantly extinguishing Qianyu's Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique before charging straight at him with unstoppable force!
Even Fugaku's expression changed!
"Sure enough, as the head of the Sarutobi clan, Sarutobi Hiogo is no ordinary man!"
"Qianyu..."
"What will you do?"
A Family Must Be Together!
Qianyu's response was simple and effective.
He stomped on the ground, his body instantly shifting sideways to evade the Water Dragon Bullet's assault.
Then...
Without the slightest hesitation, he charged straight in, drew the samurai sword at his waist, and slashed fiercely toward Sarutobi Hiogo!
How terrifying was Qianyu when he truly unleashed his killing intent?
Not even Fugaku Uchiha knew.
But at that moment, everyone saw it.
It was like a flash of lightning streaking across the sky in an instant, its edge bursting forth!
The cold gleam of the samurai sword sliced through the air, tracing an arc of light as it hacked viciously at Sarutobi Hiogo!
Sarutobi Hiogo had not expected his opponent to be so fast.
His face instantly drained of color.
But he was, after all, the head of the Sarutobi clan. Having cultivated for decades, his strength was naturally formidable.
Though he had lived in comfort these past years and had not fought in a long time, causing his reactions to lag for a brief instant, he still drew his blade in time and met the attack head-on.
Clang!
The two blade lights collided, spraying cold, dazzling sparks and producing a chilling screech of metal grinding against metal.
Sarutobi Hiogo's body was forced backward. Suppressed by Qianyu's strength, he had clearly fallen into a disadvantage!
"Clan Head!"
The Sarutobi clan members immediately cried out and moved to help.
But Sarutobi Hiogo was consumed by rage.
"Don't come over!"
Just as he was about to roar, Qianyu's eyes suddenly blossomed with a blood-red glow.
A strange and beautiful soft sound rang out.
Uchiha Qianyu had finally unleashed the Eye Power of his Sharingan.
Sarutobi Hiogo was greatly shocked. He hurriedly lowered his gaze, avoiding Qianyu's pupils in a panic.
He did not know whether Uchiha Qianyu was skilled in genjutsu.
But he absolutely did not dare take that risk.
Everyone in the ninja world knew that when facing a genjutsu specialist one-on-one, there was no choice but to flee.
Unless there were companions present who could help dispel the genjutsu.
That was true even against ordinary genjutsu users, let alone the Uchiha clan with their Sharingan.
However...
Qianyu did not unleash any Sharingan genjutsu.
He merely used the instant he activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan to force his opponent into revealing an opening, then...
Seized that fleeting opening!
The samurai sword twisted instantly, sweeping up a flash of cold light as it violently knocked away the opponent's blade and sent it flying.
Sarutobi Hiogo grew even more flustered and hurriedly dodged aside, but it was already too late.
Pfft!
With a muffled sound, the samurai sword in Qianyu's hand viciously pierced through his lower abdomen.
The intense pain pierced his heart and bones.
Sarutobi Hiogo staggered back, forcibly pulling himself free from the blade. He then clutched his abdomen tightly, but blood streamed through the gaps between his fingers.
"He avoided the vital spot?"
Qianyu frowned slightly as well.
He was an old Jonin and the head of a clan. Even if he had neglected combat for many years, he was still not so easily killed.
"You... bastard!"
Sarutobi Hiogo gritted his teeth. The agonizing pain made his entire body tremble slightly, cold sweat pouring down his face.
Yet he suddenly released his grip, and his blood-soaked hands rapidly formed seals again.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Sarutobi Hiogo slammed a hand against the ground. The earth immediately seemed to come alive, rising in an instant to form an earth dragon that opened its gaping maw and fired volleys of projectiles from within!
Fugaku was shocked. "He can even use Earth Style..."
However.
In Qianyu's eyes, now that the Three Tomoe Sharingan was activated, such an attack was hardly worth mentioning.
The Three Tomoe Sharingan glimmered faintly, seeing through every trajectory and movement of the Earth Dragon Bullet Technique. He easily evaded it.
Then he closed in once more, swinging his samurai sword as he charged to kill.
Sarutobi Hiogo did not dare let him get close again and fiercely struck the ground once more.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
Rumble!
In an instant, an earthen wall erupted from the ground, rising across the battlefield and blocking Qianyu's advance, shielding Sarutobi Hiogo behind it.
Qianyu sneered and spoke one word at a time.
"Lightning Style..."
"False Darkness!"
In an instant, the air crackled, and the intense buzzing was enough to make everyone's hair stand on end!
An incomparably sharp spear of lightning shot forth!
It swept wildly from near to far!
With a single strike, it instantly pierced through the earth and blasted the Earth Flow Wall directly into pieces!
Even Fugaku's eyes widened.
"When did that guy Qianyu master such a powerful Lightning Style Ninjutsu?!"
Sarutobi Hiogo was even more terrified.
The terrifying lightning spear of Lightning Style: False Darkness instantly shattered the Earth Flow Wall without slowing in the slightest, then hacked viciously toward him!
It was too fast to evade!
"Aaaahhh!"
A scream rang out at once. Sarutobi Hiogo's entire body was engulfed in lightning, as violent currents ravaged him and blasted his body until the smell of burnt flesh filled the air...
"Clan Head!"
The Sarutobi clan members could no longer heed his orders. They immediately rushed forward to save him, while several ninja simultaneously unleashed techniques to block Qianyu's advance.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Style: Wind Blade Technique!"
Raging flames and hurricane winds merged into frenzied blades of fire, howling and ravaging the area as they sought to block Qianyu's path.
Yet the blood-red Sharingan gleamed sharply. The Three Tomoe turned gently as Qianyu calmly weaved through the flames and wind blades, not caring even when he was struck.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Qianyu's shoulders, arms, and waist were instantly sliced open, bursts of blood mist spraying into the air.
Yet he did not slow in the slightest. Carrying the sharpness of his samurai sword, he swept past the shattered earthen wall, past the wind blades and flames, descended from the sky, and arrived before Sarutobi Hiogo first!
"Don't!"
"Stop!"
Seeing that they were too late, the Sarutobi clan members cried out in terror.
Sarutobi Hiogo had been gravely injured by Qianyu's Lightning Style: False Darkness. His entire body was numb, and he had no ability to resist at all.
