Uchiha Kō stared at the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han, and his lips twitched. Damn it, even though he was recovering his Chakra, he was surrounded by the chaotic army and had to use Susanoo to defend against the enemy's attack as well as Han.
This put them in a bit of a bind. Han nodded quickly after being reminded by Ōnoki, and with Boil Release: Super Strength in each hand, scorching water vapor fist waves rushed towards Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō braced himself with both hands on the ground, flipped over, and dodged the two punches. He looked at Han with killing intent in his eyes, and then used the Body Flicker Technique, a flash of red light in his hand.
The Blazing Heaven Fan appeared, Uchiha Kō unfurled its blades, aiming for Han's neck. Han smiled slightly, bent over, and then threw a punch at Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō didn't react much. Sage Mode activated! Golden Scale Armor protection! Han's Steam Fist struck the Golden Scale Armor, which only flashed briefly before returning to silence.
"What the hell is this thing? How come it's completely unmoved?" Han complained. Uchiha Kō smiled contemptuously, "How can mortals understand the wonders of immortals?"
"Hey, Kokuō, help me. Lend me some Chakra!" Han said to the Five-Tails in the Sea of Spirit.
Kokuō glanced at Han, then lay down again, not wanting to bother with him. What kind of jerk was he, borrowing Chakra and acting so self-righteous? He was truly speechless.
"Uh, that Uchiha outside has the Mangekyo. I'm afraid I can't handle him on my own," Han said helplessly.
Kokuō remained silent. Indeed, although Han was weak and not very smart, he was at least somewhat capable towards him. Well, in order to avoid being captured by that Mangekyō Sharingan ninja, he would lend him some.
Han felt a surge of joy upon sensing Kokuō's Chakra. "Steam Armor!" Han sneered as steam burst forth from his body, swirling around him. The scorching temperature even made Uchiha Kō in Sage Mode feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Heh, Uchiha Kō, come on, come on!" Han continued to unleash his monstrous strength against Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō frowned, silently chanting, "Senra Bansho!"
Instantly, the soil on the ground turned into sharp spikes that pierced towards Han. Han's pupils shrank. "Han, get out of the way! He's using immortal magic, not Ninjutsu!" Kokuō warned.
Han quickly exhaled steam from his hands, and the immense recoil propelled him backward.
"Phew, that was close, I scared myself~" Han wiped his sweat and before he could even rest, Uchiha Kō launched Shuriken, Kunai, Fuma Shuriken at Han using the Uchiha throwing technique.
Han didn't react much; after all, as Jinchūriki, he was still too inexperienced in these matters.
Instantly, Chakra Cloak appeared, clanging and clattering as it blocked the ninja tools, and even the tail behind it shattered the tools to pieces.
"Uchiha Kō, is that all you've got?" Han was getting a little cocky. Uchiha Kō's expression was strange; those words sounded familiar.
"Han! Stop talking nonsense and kill Uchiha Kō!" Ōnoki reminded him again.
"Tsk, the old man is such a troublemaker," Han thought to himself.
"Be careful, I have a feeling this Uchiha Kō has a backup plan." Kokuō was somewhat uneasy. Could someone who could summon a giant Buddha be defeated so easily?
As it turned out, Kokuō was right.
Uchiha Kō Mangekyō Sharingan began to spin with the six Tomoe, gathering Yin Release Chakra as he looked at Han.
Kokuō hurriedly said, "Han, don't look into his eyes!" But it was too late.
Han suddenly froze, his pupils reflecting Uchiha Kō's Sharingan, his hands visibly falling to his sides as he knelt on the ground.
"Han! Wake up!" Ōnoki cried out in alarm. Apart from Han, no one in Iwagakure could match Uchiha Kō!
Within Han's Mental Space, Kokuō shuddered, for he saw Uchiha Kō.
Kokuō quickly turned his head away, closed his eyes, and muttered, "I won't look, I won't look!"
"Heh, you think you can just ignore it?" Uchiha Kō activated his Mangekyo, and Kokuō was plunged into darkness for a moment, with images of two Mangekyō Sharingan appearing.
When it opened its eyes again, you could see that its pupils had transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Kō.
"Kokuō, you must be resentful after being sealed by Iwagakure for so long! I'll help you break the seal!" Uchiha Kō with a faint smile.
He then channeled his Yang Release Chakra, combined with the Sealing Jutsu taught to him by Uzumaki Mito, and sealed Kokuō's Sealing Jutsu as easily as a piece of paper.
A furious roar was heard, "Roar!"
"That's right, that's right, Kokuō, take revenge on those humans who imprisoned you and used you!" After saying that, Uchiha Kō left Han's Mental Space.
On the battlefield
Uchiha Kō smirked. "Kokuō, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han's eyes widened. He roared, trying to stop it all, but to no avail.
His body disappeared, and he transformed into a giant beast that was a combination of a dolphin Kazuma. It was all white and had five tails behind its rear end!
Ōnoki was initially overjoyed; Han had finally unleashed his full power, Uchiha Kō was doomed this time!
As long as he dies, the loss of these three thousand men will be worthwhile.
Unfortunately, before he could rejoice for long, Kokuō knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and prostrated himself before Uchiha Kō. This scene brought all the ninjas on the battlefield to a halt.
The two sides had different feelings about this scene. Konoha was extremely excited, while Iwagakure was pale!
Uchiha Kō stepped on Kokuō's head, stood up, and turned around. Kokuō raised his head, and Owl stood on Kokuō's head, overlooking the entire battlefield.
Then Uchiha Kō activated Susanoo!
The golden-red Susanoo was draped over the Five-Tails Kokuō. Susanoo and Kokuō roared simultaneously, and the sound caused all the birds in the distant forest to take flight in an instant.
Ōnoki lost his footing. He knew that the outcome was already decided. They couldn't hold onto Uchiha Kō, and Uchiha Kō could easily kill another 4,000 to 5,000 of them.
Ignoring everyone else's thoughts, Uchiha Kō waved his hand and shouted, "Kokuō, Five Mountain Jump!"
After saying that, Kokuō's eyes lit up. It would be impossible for him not to have any objections to Iwagakure. He was not Son Gokū, who could take things as they come.
Now, under the control of the Mangekyo and fueled by the evil hidden within, it unleashes its full power to release steam, causing a massive cloud of steam to rise.
Kokuō leaped high into the air, aiming at the center of the Iwagakure Ninja's battle formation. He landed, his front hooves touching the ground, and powerful steam and vibrations spread in all directions.
That single strike took away 500 ninjas! Uchiha Kō smirked. "Ōnoki, are you satisfied with this war?"
Uchiha Kō, having killed the man's spirit, stood atop Kokuō and looked at Ōnoki.
Ōnoki's heart was bleeding. He clenched his fists to control his anger and prevent the conflict from escalating further.
A weak nation has no diplomacy; backwardness invites aggression!
