When there were a thousand people, they blotted out the clouds and sky.

When there were ten thousand, they stretched beyond all bounds.

Kyosuke's strongest impression right now was that red seemed to be spreading everywhere he looked.

On the southern battlefield, the Three Clans had never engaged in a large-scale frontal clash. The largest battle he had personally experienced had only been a canyon pursuit involving a few hundred people.

"As expected of a clan that founded a nation. There really are a lot of them," Kyosuke said with a sigh.

"Hmph, they're just a bunch of fools." Uchiha Madara stood with his arms folded across his chest, his gaze brimming with imposing dominance.

The two stood side by side at the front of the formation, fearlessly facing the surging tide of enemies. Their relaxed, smiling manner was truly enviable to those around them.

Even Legion Commander Hiroki doubted he could cast aside the pressure in his heart.

Who was Uzumaki Ashina? He was someone capable of speaking to Senju Butsuma as an equal, with strength at the very peak of Clan Head Level.

Beyond that lay the realm of legend. No one currently knew what it was like.

In other words, Uzumaki Ashina represented the strongest power of the Warring States era.

Elder Hiroki was also a Clan Head Level expert, but he understood that there was an unbridgeable gulf in strength between them.

That was the main reason he had requested reinforcements.

If they could not match them in quality, they at least had to match them in numbers. Otherwise, what the hell was there to fight?

The surging crimson tide suddenly parted, and Uzumaki Ashina strolled forward, his presence firmly locking onto the two most conspicuous figures in the enemy formation.

Kyosuke, dressed in black combat gear with a long sword slung at his waist.

Madara, clad in red armor with an Uchiha Gunbai on his back.

He had thought Mito was already the finest heir, but he had never expected the Uchiha Clan to cultivate two such gifted youths at once.

"What good fortune." Uzumaki Ashina narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying aura pressed down on the two like collapsing mountains and crashing seas.

If they could not withstand it, they would be unable to continue appearing in the coming war.

The dreadful pressure of the battlefield would gradually erode their hearts, reducing these once heaven-blessed prodigies to ordinary men.

However, Uzumaki Ashina had ultimately miscalculated.

Other than making the two Uchiha activate their Sharingan, his action seemed to have had no effect at all.

To outsiders, it instead looked like an adult bullying children. A founding elder of the Land of Whirlpools, unable to recover his abducted daughter, could only pressure two teenagers.

It would be utterly humiliating if word got out.

Seeing that the two remained completely unaffected, Uchiha Hiroki stepped forward and laughed loudly. "Uzumaki Ashina, you really are growing more pathetic with age."

"Indeed." The Uzumaki Clan Head gave a self-mocking smile, then gathered Chakra and said in a deep voice, "Release Mito, or I will flatten your Uchiha Clan today."

With one hand raised, the ninja formation behind him instantly prepared itself.

The moment the Clan Head gave the order, a terrifying Legion-level Ninjutsu would bombard the enemy formation.

Against a coordinated large-scale attack, even the incomplete Ten-Tails would be unable to break free in a short time.

The might of Legion-level Ninjutsu was evident from this alone.

"Damn Uzumaki! Do you really think you can stand on equal footing with us?" The Legion Commander raised an arm and shouted, his ringing voice spreading in every direction. "Show the enemy who the strongest clan in the Land of Fire truly is!"

"Fire!"

The moment his words fell, the thirty ninjas in the formation formed Hand Seals at the same time, their Chakra merging with incredible smoothness.

Fire Release: Great Fireball ×30!

Massive fireballs descended like meteors, crossing a hundred meters in an instant and about to swallow the entire enemy formation.

At the critical moment, the Uzumaki side's Legion-level Ninjutsu successfully formed.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall ×30!

The sea of flames and roaring waves collided, exploding into enormous clouds of steam that spread across the entire battlefield.

Seeing this, Uchiha Hiroki immediately gave the order. "Front formation, charge!"

The Uchiha Clan, with their Sharingan, would possess an obvious advantage in the thick mist. If they did not charge now, when would they?

"Kill with me!" Kyosuke was the first to rush out.

Behind him, more than eighty ninjas who had learned Chidori consciously spread apart, leaving enough space to evade.

They had only just formed their battle formation when countless kunai and shuriken flew at them head-on.

A spell or two of considerable power was mixed in from time to time, attempting to strike them from afar first.

"Spread out!" Kyosuke waved a hand, and the formation immediately dispersed over a wide area, calmly evading the attack.

At this point, the distance between the two sides had become extremely close. With his powerful dynamic vision, he could vaguely make out figures speeding through the mist ahead.

"Hand Seals!"

As he spoke, pleasant birdsong rang out in an instant.

One. Two. Three... In the end, the unified roar of lightning completely drowned out every other sound on the battlefield.

"So this is his trump card." Behind them, Madara's eyes held a trace of admiration. Such a dazzling scene truly was rare.

Faced with a Legion-level assault on this scale, any opponent would be at a loss.

As he pondered, the torrent of lightning plunged viciously into the enemy formation, charging straight through the front before cutting out from the rear flank, piercing the enemy ranks clean through.

"Again!" At Kyosuke's command, they prepared to repeat their previous maneuver.

If he could keep this up for a few more rounds, he could probably completely shatter the enemy's morale.

Then the scales of victory would tilt heavily in their favor. Without their numerical advantage, the Uzumaki would not seem so terrifying anymore.

It was a good plan, but unfortunately, someone was unwilling to let him carry it out.

"Uchiha brat, don't get too arrogant." An enemy rushed toward him head-on—a red-haired man he did not recognize.

The man gave him no chance to gather his formation. Before he even arrived, terrifying gusts of wind had already swept over everything ahead.

With no other choice, Kyosuke broke away from the formation and faced him alone. "Mayo, withdraw from the battlefield and prepare for a second group charge."

"My lord!"

"Don't worry. If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

With that, Kyosuke immediately launched a countercharge.

His hands rapidly formed Hand Seals, and his entire body instantly became a streak of light as he charged into the enemy formation.

"Arrogant?" Arriving before the Uzumaki man, Kyosuke drew his long sword as blazing flames instantly spread across its blade.

"Today, I'll show you what arrogance really is."

Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame! Now that he had an excellent chakra-conducting weapon, he could finally use the complete Uchiha Style Kenjutsu.

Combined with the Body Flicker Technique, he was practically a replica of Uchiha Shisui.

Blazing flames slashed across the enemy's chest, sending blood spraying. Within three seconds, Kyosuke unleashed his full speed, cutting down at his opponent seven times in succession.

Yet even such a fierce assault failed to take down his enemy immediately.

They said the Uzumaki Clan possessed powerful constitutions. Today, he had truly experienced it firsthand.

"Damn it, you can't escape." This Uzumaki Jonin spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with ruthless determination to die together with his enemy.

The brat had been so arrogant that he had actually dared to charge into the formation and fight him.

Now that his attempt to kill him had failed, there was only one path left: death.

In exchange for serious injuries, taking the life of an Uchiha genius was more than worth it.

Two kunai and three long swords gave his enemy no room to evade.

"Die!"
