Madara's Mangekyo

During the Warring States Period, the only ones who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan were the brothers Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha.

Although the condition for awakening the Mangekyo was "killing a loved one," or rather, the pain of "experiencing the death of a loved one."

There must be another condition, and that is the talent of the Sharingan's wielder.

Otherwise, during the Warring States Period, why did so many Uchiha clan members who witnessed the death of loved ones awaken the Mangekyo, and only Izuna and Madara?

From the original work, Tobirama Senju claimed he had seen the technique "Kagutsuchi."

It can now be proven that he saw it from Izuna.

As for Madara's Mangekyo ability, it has always been a mystery.

Coincidentally, in this battle, Madara will surely use his Mangekyo ability, so let me see it.

At this moment, in the center of the training ground.

Madara and Uchiha Gakugyo stood facing each other.

The former held a scythe and a flaming Gunbai, while the latter wielded a katana.

"Begin!"

The Great Elder, Kōshi Uchiha, waved his hand and shouted.

The next instant, both of their pupils narrowed simultaneously, revealing their three-tomoe Sharingan.

At the same time, they both vanished from their positions, turning into shadows and appearing ten meters above the ground.

Clang!!

The crisp sound of weapons colliding rang out, accompanied by a burst of intense sparks.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two black shadows darted through the training ground at speeds too fast for even the Sharingan to track.

Every time they collided, it brought about fierce sparks and intense aftershocks.

"Their Taijutsu is evenly matched."

At first glance, everyone inwardly evaluated.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Technique!"

Madara attacked first, using Ninjutsu!

He formed hand seals with one hand, unleashing the C-rank Fire Release Phoenix Sage Flower, and in less than the blink of an eye, he fanned it with the Gunbai in his right hand, increasing its power by more than double!

"This enhancement is nothing special."

Uchiha Gakugyo said calmly, his katana covered by a layer of wind blades.

With a flash of his hand, he easily sliced the Phoenix Sage Flower into pieces.

Possessing both Fire and Wind Release.

Wind Release was the specialty of the Shimura Clan. Uchiha Gakugyo had clashed with the Shimura Clan in his early years and copied this technique using his Sharingan.

He had been using it ever since, and even better than the Shimura clan ninjas!

"Just an appetizer, don't rush."

Madara on the other side suddenly spoke, quickly forming hand seals, "Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!"

Immediately changing seals, "Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"

The Fire Release dissolved the Lightning Release, like countless lightning pythons surging through the sea of fire, unleashing a large-scale attack Ninjutsu of A-rank or higher.

"That's Izuna's invented Lightning Release, Madara has learned it!"

Uchiha Kai's face showed surprise, but he quickly understood and couldn't help but glance at Izuna.

This deputy clan leader would surely bring more surprises to the clan in the future.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Uchiha Gakugyo on the other side was not to be outdone, also unleashing two elemental Ninjutsu at once.

Moreover, they were highly compatible Wind and Fire Release, but his Wind Release Ninjutsu was only C-rank.

This was unavoidable; in this era, each clan had limited Ninjutsu.

Even for a great clan like the Uchiha, their highest-level Ninjutsu besides Fire Release was generally no higher than B-rank.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi served as the Third Naruto, the vast number of Ninjutsu in the Forbidden Scroll, along with his hundreds of mastered Ninjutsu, were all accumulated over time.

Boom!!

The two killing moves, which far surpassed A-rank and were close to S-rank Ninjutsu, collided, causing Uchiha Kai's expression to change slightly. He shouted, "Those below Chunin level, retreat a hundred meters!"

Even with a barrier, such terrifying power could cause accidents, not to mention that the battle had just begun.

BOOM!

About fifteen seconds into the clash of ultimate jutsu, the tide of battle began to shift.

Uchiha Gakugyo was starting to feel the strain. Maintaining two nature transformations placed a burden on his Chakra that was far from simple addition.

Meanwhile, Madara on the other side, while maintaining Lightning and Fire Release, appeared incredibly composed. In fact, the power of his current attack was still increasing, showing signs of breaking through from A-rank to S-rank!

At this moment, Izuna and others noticed that Madara's eyes had changed!

His ordinary three tomoe Sharingan had transformed into a special shape, an arc connecting into a circle.

Mangekyo Sharingan!

He already possessed Mangekyo abilities!

"Wind Release: Gale Wall!"

Just as he was at a disadvantage in the clash, even when about to be hit by Madara's ultimate jutsu, Uchiha Gakugyo gritted his teeth and unleashed a new Wind Release.

A defensive wall rose from the stone bricks at his feet, forming a protective barrier, buying him time to evade Madara's ultimate jutsu bombardment!

However, the sleeve of his right arm was still incinerated into shreds, revealing burnt flesh beneath.

"This Mangekyo ability is..."

Izuna also activated his three tomoe Sharingan, observing the flow of Chakra within Madara.

That power came from the Mangekyo in Madara's left eye.

Lightning and Fire Release were well integrated, conserving Chakra while allowing them to exert greater power.

Izuna recalled that in the future, Madara would also use a special Kekkei Genkai fusing "Lightning Release" and "Water Release," "Storm Release."

Furthermore, he was the first and only one to transplant Hashirama's cells himself, evolving his Sharingan to the Rinnegan on his own.

Unlike Sasuke, who relied on the Sage of Six Paths' cheat.

This showed that Madara was highly skilled in the application of "fusion."

This was the ability of his left eye. While not as straightforward in combat utility as Izuna's own Amaterasu, it was well-suited for Ninjutsu research and development.

On the other side, the wind blade on Uchiha Gakugyo's katana surged once more.

In the next second, flames erupted along the blade as well. Fire and Wind fused, transforming it into a terrifying Chakra weapon somewhat resembling the sword of a Susanoo.

In Izuna's generation, combat had become more focused on Ninjutsu.

But in Tajima Uchiha's generation, swordsmanship and Ninjutsu were cultivated together.

Therefore, when it came to swordsmanship, Uchiha Gakugyo was currently the best in the clan.

"Here I come, Madara!"

Uchiha Gakugyo's words fell as he vanished instantly.

He appeared to Madara's right flank using the Body Flicker Technique.

A sword strike came.

The Mangekyo in Madara's right eye contracted.

RUMBLE!!

With a single slash, at least a third of the Uchiha training grounds was utterly destroyed!

The ninja maintaining the barrier poured Chakra with all their might to prevent the shockwaves from spreading further.

"Such exaggerated power. Lord Gakugyo is truly in his prime as a ninja."

A Uchiha Jonin said warily.

"So, is the victor decided?"

Another Chunin asked.

"No,"

Uchiha Tenzou and the others also activated their three tomoe Sharingan at this moment.

Izuna muttered to himself, "Is that... the ability of his right eye?"
