The Most Beautiful Fire Style Jutsu (Seeking Votes! Seeking Investment!)

He couldn't determine the truth.

Based on his own experience, the ocular power between the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Sharingan underwent a fundamental sublimation. Though it didn't completely overturn the past, the difference between the two was still quite apparent. Once someone used the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan in front of others—even without employing its unique techniques, just the ocular power alone—it would still be detected.

Earlier, Sōken had used Genjutsu multiple times to defeat several clansmen. Shisui had clearly seen it all with his Sharingan and detected no unusual fluctuations in ocular power.

However, Normally speaking, with both being Three Tomoe Sharingan, there shouldn't be such a massive gap, right? How exactly had Sōken's ocular power grown strong enough under the Three Tomoe state to overwhelm other Three Tomoe clansmen?

This inexplicable problem plunged Shisui into deep confusion.

At that moment, The battle continued.

The Uchiha were a proud clan. Their pride forbade them from choosing to admit defeat or surrender. Even when they knew their chances of victory were slim, they would absolutely fight to the very end!

"Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear!"

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique."

Having witnessed the crushing defeat of their comrades, the remaining two didn't give up hope and strike recklessly. Drawing lessons from their friends' failures and recognizing the fearsome nature of the blade Samehada, they changed their approach once more, abandoning taijutsu for a ninjutsu battle, desperately seeking that sliver of a chance to win.

Fortunately, their heads were still clear enough.

They didn't actually resort to powerful ninjutsu like [Great Fire Annihilation] that could alter the terrain.

"Ninjutsu, huh?"

A pleased smile appeared on Sōken's face.

Among the three systems of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, his specialty wasn't genjutsu or taijutsu—it was ninjutsu. The innate skill called [Magic Release] had elevated his Fire Style proficiency to the utmost achievable limit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the epithet [Flame Demon]!

"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique."

Sōken formed the 'Boar' hand seal with one hand.

In an instant, he refined the appropriate amount of Chakra. Opening his mouth, he exhaled a lifelike fire dragon with prominent horns and a majestic head that grew as it rode the wind. Instead of crushing forward in a straight line, it arced through the air like a swimming fish, easily swallowing the scattered Phoenix Sage Fire with its elongated body.

Then, the fire dragon lunged at the ground, destroying every rock pillar that had risen, even scraping off a layer of the wooden floor and earth. Just as the surrounding clansmen watching prepared to intervene and save the two who were about to be engulfed by the swift and fierce dragon...

The fire dragon spun in place and spontaneously extinguished itself.

"Incredible!"

Uchiha An, the only female elder among the Six Clan Elders, blurted out an involuntary praise.

"Magnificent! Sōken, my boy, your Fire Style has three-tenths of the flair I had in my youth!" Elder Homaru let out a hearty laugh, clapping his hands vigorously as if that were the only way to vent his excitement.

"So cool! As expected of Brother Sōken."

Uchiha Hokuto jumped up. If Uchiha Arashiyama hadn't held him down, the little one would have been dancing with joy.

It wasn't just one or two people praising Sōken's masterful Fire Style. The Uchiha were all experts in playing with fire, especially the Jonin in this Secret Chamber, who were seasoned hands at it. Thus, they understood better than the Mist Ninja just how formidable Sōken's Fire Style was.

It had clearly surpassed the confines of ordinary Fire Style, reaching a state of effortless control.

Unless it was an S-rank Fire Style, all other Fire Style techniques had lost their meaning in Sōken's hands. For example, the C-rank Great Fireball Technique in Sōken's hands could have its power adjusted as needed, ranging from A-rank to C-rank at will.

"Can the Great Dragon Fire be used like this? And here I was always trying to release four fire dragons. My perspective was too narrow! Increasing quantity isn't the only path to becoming stronger..."

"So this is the [Flame Demon]?"

"Can any of you do that?"

"How could I? If I had such cool Fire Style, I wouldn't still be single!"

"Get lost! Your being single has nothing to do with how cool your Fire Style is."

The topic unconsciously drifted off course, but Sōken's goal had indeed been achieved. The earlier genjutsu and taijutsu, combined with this stunning Fire Style display... even those veteran Jonin in their forties and fifties found their mindsets subtly shifting.

The hostility and resistance they felt toward Sōken instantly diminished.

This was the Uchiha.

A clan that worshipped the strong at their core!

They took pride in their bloodline, their talent, their eyes, their strength—and for that reason, they revered those stronger than themselves. In the face of true strength, issues like age, seniority, and status... none of them mattered anymore.

Amid the heated discussions of the clansmen, This battle also drew to a close.

"You lost!"

Behind each of the two men stood a Sōken, holding a Short Sword aimed at their kidneys. One thrust would be fatal.

"When?"

The two turned back in disbelief.

"Right when your vision was blocked by the Great Dragon Fire." One of the Sōken smiled, answering their question.

"We lost. You... indeed have the right to be arrogant."

The proud Uchiha finally lowered their arrogant heads before another Uchiha.

They couldn't bring themselves to renege on their admission of defeat. With so many people watching, they couldn't afford to do something so shameful! Moreover, as those who had faced him directly, Sōken's brilliantly executed Fire Style had left an insurmountable sense of defeat in their hearts.

At this moment, he truly couldn't put on any airs of a senior.

The two older men sighed, helping their defeated companion retreat to the left side of the secret chamber. Sōken also released the [Restraining Bone Prison Technique] on one of them, including Uchiha Yashiro and the earlier unlucky Uchiha Kōhei, all of whom regained their freedom.

However, by now, everyone had clearly grasped the power of the [Flame Demon] and kept their mouths shut, uttering no harsh words.

"Anyone else want to play with me?"

Sōken waved his hand, and the two Water Clones shattered, splashing into two puddles on the floor. To be honest, the secret chamber really needed a major renovation—between Earth Release and Fire Release, the wooden floor was utterly wrecked. If it wasn't properly fixed, the next gathering would force everyone to sit on opposite sides.

Sōken's voice echoed through the secret chamber.

This time, no one stepped forward. A four-on-one fight was shameless enough, and they'd lost. Moreover, seeing Sōken not even breathing hard made it clear he hadn't reached his limit. Stepping up now would only invite humiliation—no need to court trouble.

Sōken waited about ten seconds.

Seeing no one speak, he didn't press further. He simply flexed his wrist, sending a signal to suppress the raised spikes on Samehada.

Then, he turned to look at the clan leader, whose expression was far from pleasant.

"Since no one wants to play with me... then let's get to the point. I, Uchiha Sōken, hereby impeach the current clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha, for being a deadweight in his post and making one blunder after another. He bears undeniable responsibility for our clan's current predicament. As things stand, he is no longer fit to be clan leader."

Sōken, riding the momentum of his victory, launched a fierce attack on Fugaku Uchiha.
