Using a Butcher's Knife to Kill a Chicken

"I am the leader of the Onigawa Clan, Kōkawa Yokōichi, and the one leading the Uchiha on the other side..."

Kōkawa Yokōichi, who was leading the six hundred ninja of the Five-Clan Alliance, was about to introduce himself when Izuna on the opposite side suddenly waved his right hand.

"Haa!!"

The two hundred Uchiha ninja on the other side roared in unison. Their black ninja outfits moved, and from a distance, the pure black army attacked with an unstoppable offensive.

"Hmph! The Uchiha Clan are indeed all lunatics!"

Kōkawa Yokōichi said coldly. He had originally wanted to make a good impression in front of the Alliance army.

After all, his strength was the weakest among the five clan leaders. Even if they were to divide the Uchiha's territory, his clan would likely receive the least.

That's why he proposed to take the lead and strive for military merits.

"Water Release: Water Flow Rip!"

"Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"

"Wind Release: Spiral Swirl!"

Izuna's dual Wind Release: Rasengan, combined with the Water Release and Lightning Release from the clan members on his sides, merged into an S-rank, large-scale destructive Ninjutsu that blended three attributes.

Looking out, it was like a natural disaster that threatened to swallow everything.

"Defend!"

Kōkawa Yokōichi shouted in a low voice. The frontline troops retreated more than ten meters, and the second line of ninja moved up. Dozens of hands were placed on the ground.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

Dozens of stone and earth walls, capable of changing the terrain, instantly rose, forming a barrier in front of the Five-Clan Alliance.

Rumble!!

The Uchiha's three-attribute combination Ninjutsu, after compressing the Earth Flow Wall for about five seconds, merged with it, shattered it, and destroyed it!

Although it offset most of the power, the intense airflow it generated was still like a tornado, causing Kōkawa Yokōichi and the others' skin to sting.

"Don't look into their eyes! Fight at a distance as much as possible!"

Kōkawa Yokōichi's strength was not great, but he was good at analysis. Moreover, the power of the Uchiha's Sharingan was known to everyone in the Sengoku period.

Hearing Kōkawa Yokōichi's command, about two hundred ninja of the Five-Clan Alliance who had completed their hand seals rushed out from the flanks, preparing to unleash their Ninjutsu.

It was clear that they had discussed this before the battle.

The Earth Style ninja were positioned in the center for defense. Once the defense was successful and an opening was found, the flanking assault units would bombard them with Ninjutsu.

"Fire Style: Headhunter!"

"Wind Style: Gale Force!"

"Water Style: Water Gathering Blade!"

The five clans had different characteristics, and the disparity in their Ninjutsu made the battlefield sky look like a display of colorful fireworks.

At first glance, it was magnificent, but at second glance, one could feel the threat of death.

Boom!!

A barrage of Ninjutsu rained down, causing the very ground to tremble.

The lingering smoke spread across the open battlefield, making it difficult for Kōkawa Yokōichi and the others to see the situation.

"The next unit, continue! Don't let the Uchiha get close!"

Kōkawa Yokōichi continued to issue orders. He wouldn't be foolish enough to give the Uchiha any time to breathe.

Even though they were only a third of his side's numbers, the Uchiha could not be underestimated.

Whoosh~~~

From within the smoke, countless Uchiha ninja charged out.

And the second round of Ninjutsu bombardment from the other side was ready.

"Go..."

Boom!

Just as Kōkawa Yokōichi was about to wave his hand again, a cracking sound came from behind him.

Something was falling from the sky.

Kōkawa Yokōichi, surprised, turned his head and saw Izuna, for some reason, suddenly descending from the sky and landing behind him.

Even Masashige Hagoromo and the others watching from the rear were greatly alarmed.

From their vantage point, they could see that Izuna had jumped from the sky behind Kōkawa Yokōichi, using a Ninja Hawk, a Summoning Beast of the Uchiha Clan, from the flank.

However, hadn't Izuna Uchiha been at the front lines of the Uchiha army since the beginning?

How did he suddenly control a Ninja Hawk and appear in mid-air?

"Amaterasu!"

Blood tears streamed from Izuna's right eye, and the black flames of destruction consumed everything in his vision, including Kōkawa Yokōichi, one of the leaders of the Five Clans!

"Ahhh!"

"Help, help, help!"

"Quick, use Water Release!"

"Help us with Water Release!"

Just as the allied forces of the five clans began to fall into chaos, Izuna let out a cold laugh. He closed his right eye, spread his hands, and the moment he condensed the Wind Release: Rasengan, he opened his right eye again.

Amaterasu's flames covered the Rasengan.

"Although it's incomplete, it's more than enough to deal with you."

Izuna, one on the left and one on the right, hit enemy ninjas on both sides with two Amaterasu Rasengans.

"Scorch Release: Amaterasu Rasengan!"

RUMBLE!!

The power of an undisputed S-rank ninjutsu forcefully carved a path of slaughter through the center of the six hundred ninjas.

The Shadow Clone Technique to paralyze the opponent, then a surprise attack using a Summoning Beast, and finally clearing the path with the ultimate moves, Amaterasu and Rasengan – this was Izuna's strategy!

Using this move against an elite Jonin-level clan leader felt like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken for Izuna.

But right now, he had to intimidate the allied forces of the five clans. He was determined to use this butcher's knife!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Scorching Ash!"

The next moment, the Uchiha army had already broken into the center of the allied forces of the five clans.

Accompanied by the Fire Release that the Uchiha were most adept at, the entire battlefield turned into a sea of fire in less than half a minute.

"Follow the Vice Clan Leader and charge!"

Upon witnessing the absolute power displayed by Izuna, the Uchiha's morale soared. They charged forward fearlessly, their eyes only set on the enemy heads to be harvested.

To be honest, Izuna really wanted to cover his right eye and have a healing ninja treat it right now.

It hurt so much!

No wonder Sasuke, in the future, would be nearly blinded after just one day when he infiltrated the Kage Summit.

But he couldn't do that. He absolutely couldn't expose the Mangekyo's weakness right now.

Instead, he had to appear as if the Mangekyo hadn't brought him any side effects and that he could use this move continuously.

He reopened his right eye, retracting the Amaterasu flames burning on Kōkawa Yokōichi's corpse.

Izuna bent down and used a kunai to cut off Kōkawa Yokōichi's head, which had over eighty percent of its flesh burned away by Amaterasu.

"The alliance of the five clans is nothing! The head of the Onigawa Clan Leader is in my hands!"

Izuna held up the burned head, causing the hearts of the allied forces behind him to tremble.

Sora Uchiha seized the opportunity, raising his hand and shouting, "Vice Clan Leader, please continue to lead the charge! We swear to follow you to the death!"

"Ooh!!"

All the Uchiha raised their arms and cheered.

Behind them, Masashige Hagoromo's cold sweat dripped down his face. The Fuma Clan Leader beside him squinted his eyes, "Clan Leader Hagoromo, the Uchiha's morale is sky-high right now. There's no need to needlessly add to our allied forces' casualties."

Masashige Hagoromo hadn't expected to be so thoroughly defeated by Izuna in the very first battle.

Looking at the young face shedding bloody tears in the distance, Masashige Hagoromo felt a pressure heavier than what he had felt when facing Tajima Uchiha all those years ago.

"Retreat!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted the word. The allied forces of the five clans turned and retreated without hesitation.

"Advance! Kill as many as you can!"

Izuna shouted like a madman.
