Black Flash!!

The Earth Style: Earth Wall shattered, and a scorching wave of fire dried up the swamp.

The ninjas still trapped in the mud had no time to escape.

Most of them used ninjutsu to protect themselves, while a few, in their panic, were scorched into blackened corpses by the fire.

The ninjas who successfully resisted the flames hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief before their hard-practiced Earth Style was shattered by dark claws.

Whoosh—

Facing the Black Wolf lunging at them, they could only raise their kunai to defend themselves.

But...

The Black Wolf passed directly through their bodies!

Faintly visible, the ferocious Evil Wolf's mouth and claws emanated a faint blue light.

That looked like... soul!!

"Bastard! Who exactly are you! Why are you attacking us!!"

"Damn it! I can't hit this thing at all! What kind of monster is this!!"

The Squad Leader Jonin quickly analyzed the key points of the jutsu and shouted:

"Don't be afraid! These wolves aren't fast. We can completely dodge them. Don't engage them head-on..."

He couldn't finish his sentence.

"I don't want to engage them head-on either! Why don't you come and save me!!"

Kagami Uchiha was well aware of the shortcomings of his jutsu. This Yin Release had an ability similar to Kamui, allowing it to bypass physical bodies and directly tear at souls.

Such a terrifying ability had obvious flaws.

That was its extremely slow movement speed.

A normal Chunin could kite it and wear down Kagami Uchiha's Chakra until he couldn't maintain it.

Therefore, the countermeasure was obvious: first, restrict the enemy's movement.

He referenced the famous Cage and Fire Tactic.

Combined with the Besiege the Point and Strike the Reinforcements tactic.

Kagami Uchiha deliberately controlled the wolf pack to leave seven or eight ninjas alive, with a few wolves surrounding each one, waiting for their Jonin to rescue them.

Among normal ninjas, deep bonds of friendship still existed.

After all, everyone was from the same village, grew up together, and studied together.

Those who could come out to execute missions together were basically master-disciple or close friend relationships.

Those three Jonin were fully capable of escaping on their own, but facing comrades who seemed to still be savable, they couldn't possibly retreat.

"Bastard!! What kind of evil technique are you using!!"

Oishi's eyes widened in fury, staring intently at Kagami Uchiha, his eyes seeming to spew fire.

"Don't you have any new words? You only have these two insults, they're completely ineffective."

Kagami Uchiha left five Black Wolves circling around himself, preventing them from making any rash moves.

"Moreover... our attire and eyes are so obvious, and you're still asking who I am? You blockhead, is your brain made of stone too?"

Upon hearing this, Oishi carefully examined the eyes of Kagami Uchiha and the other person.

"No!! Those are the Sharingan of the Uchiha! Don't look directly into those eyes!!"

The heart-wrenching reminder came too late.

Whoosh--

Oishi froze in place for a moment, and a Black Wolf passed through his body, tearing out a pale blue spirit body.

"No!!!"

The female among the three Jonin cried out in anguish, frantically extracting Chakra.

Earth Release - Earth Splitting Palm!

She struck the ground with her palm, and with continuous roars, a massive fissure spread towards Kagami Uchiha and the other person.

Crack.

Kagami Uchiha bit his fingertip and quickly performed hand seals.

With a bang, a Giant Eagle flapped its wings and took off, carrying the two of them as it circled in mid-air.

There weren't many ninjas in the ninja world with the ability to fly, at least the ones below didn't.

The distance of nearly a hundred meters was already beyond the attack range of their jutsu. The earth-loving Iwagakure ninjas had no way to deal with the eagle in the sky.

Of course, the Third Tsuchikage was an exception.

Kagami Uchiha on the eagle's back looked somewhat listless.

The previous two large-scale ninjutsu were almost enough to deplete an adult Kakashi's Chakra.

The Yin Release - Sun-Chasing Fierce Wolf consumed about four to five units of Chakra, and that was just the cost of construction; maintenance also required Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, it was Yin Release, where Spiritual Energy was the main component. If it were normal elemental Chakra, Kagami Uchiha wouldn't be able to handle it yet.

This Yin Release could only be considered an experiment.

Kagami Uchiha wanted to familiarize himself with his abilities and apply them on the actual battlefield as soon as possible, before the intensity of the war escalated.

Training and actual combat were two different things. He knew he would have to face the Third Hokage, the Nine-Tails, Nagato, and even the monsters of later years.

This war was crucial. He had to undergo a transformation, awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan in peak condition, and tame Sukuna.

Only then...

Would it be possible to lead the Uchiha Clan and survive in this chaotic world.

Swish, swish, swish!!

Minato and the others, who had been planning to form a encirclement, revealed themselves upon seeing the scene unfolding in the field.

"What kind of jutsu is this..."

"It's somewhat similar to our Shadow Secret Technique, also Yin Release... but its power is far greater than Shadow!"

"As expected of the Sharingan... That's an elite ninja from Iwagakure, Oishi. I've seen him before. I never thought he'd be killed by Kagami..."

"Large-scale Earth Release, and this kind of bizarre Yin Release ninjutsu..." Fugaku recalled the battle from last year.

This guy... his specialty should be that Slashing Secret Technique!

The Uchiha were a clan of prodigies.

Fugaku, being the clan head, had always been an exceptional child since he was young, with top-tier Talent among his peers.

Yet, looking at Kagami Uchiha, who still had a hint of youthful innocence, he felt his own mediocrity.

What he feared wasn't the destructive power of Kagami Uchiha's jutsu; to put it bluntly, if he went all out against Kagami Uchiha, it was uncertain who would win.

What he feared was the Talent Kagami Uchiha displayed.

He could quickly learn any ninjutsu and had even developed several of his own unique secret techniques.

Once he awakened those legendary eyes...

What right would I have to be the Uchiha clan head?

"Konohagakure ninja..."

"Why is Konohagakure attacking us!"

"This is the border of the Land of Earth! Are you trying to declare war by doing this!"

The leader tried to remain calm, his gaze sweeping around.

"Some things are less interesting when stated too clearly."

Kagami Uchiha spoke indifferently, "Don't play dumb. Ōnoki, that old man, sent you to scout the situation on the Land of Fire's border, didn't he."

"How dare you address the Tsuchikage like that!!"

The leading Jonin was instantly enraged, his face contorted, "Shameless Uchiha! The Tsuchikage will surely know of your despicable sneak attack!"

"Your entire clan! Will bear the Tsuchikage's wrath!"

"Heh."

Kagami Uchiha chuckled, "Did your Tsuchikage not tell you that he and his master were both beaten by someone from my Uchiha Clan?"

"If it weren't for Uchiha Madara's kindness, that old man would have died long ago."

Madara...kind?

Those from Konohagakure familiar with the name found this statement hard to comprehend.

"Aaaargh!! Damn it!! Bastard!!"

The enraged leading Jonin leaped up, charging towards Kagami Uchiha.

Like Icarus, trying to touch the impossible.

A mocking smile curved Kagami Uchiha's lips.

Riding the Giant Eagle beneath him, he swooped in another direction, the two passing each other.

Mid-air, it was too late for the leading Jonin to turn around.

Kagami Uchiha's eyes fixed on one spot.

The earth there had a peculiar bulge, like a mole burrowing underground.

The moment the Konohagakure ninja appeared, the leading Jonin realized he couldn't save his trapped comrades and signaled to another female Jonin.

I'll hold them off, you escape.

"Very good."

Namikaze Minato murmured with a smile.

He had also noticed the fleeing Jonin and didn't rush to act, wanting to see Kagami Uchiha's performance.

Prioritize pursuing the escapee; stronger enemies can be left to seniors. A correct judgment.

Kagami Uchiha leaped from the Giant Eagle, predicting the route of the Earth Release stealth.

He took a deep breath.

Clenched his fists.

Focused his mind entirely.

He found the spatial distortion that occurred within 0.000001 seconds of the physical strike and Chakra impact.

The Sharingan's tomoe spun wildly, almost bleeding.

Crackling—

A piercing sound rang out.

Kagami Uchiha's right fist extended to its limit, his waist twisting to an unnatural degree.

The air vibrated.

Space... was distorting.

In the horrified gazes of everyone present, a black and red lightning bolt erupted from his fist!

Black Flash!!!!
