Genjutsu

"Guy, isn't your dad a Genin? How is he so strong?" Ebisu's sunglasses had fallen to the ground, and he was completely stunned.

Genma Shiranui swallowed and stared at Might Guy, dumbfounded. "Guy, your dad's this amazing, and you never told us? Were you afraid we'd ask to become his students and steal his techniques?"

Might Guy's face was just as stunned. Even he hadn't expected his dad, who only ever shouted about youth in his memories, to be so powerful.

Raiga Kurosuki, Suikazan Fuguki, and Momotaro Hayato all broke into cold sweats at the horrifying sight.

They realized they'd picked a fight with the wrong people.

In the space of a few thoughts, they gripped their Ninja Blades and fled in different directions without looking back, using the Body Flicker Technique.

But Uchiha Akira had been ready for this. He formed Hand Seals in an instant, and a Shadow Clone appeared.

Then the two Uchiha Akiras set off after Suikazan Fuguki and Momotaro Hayato, respectively.

He didn't need to worry about Raiga Kurosuki anymore. Might Duy had already turned into a blue streak of light and gone after him.

As he gave chase, Duy called out to Uchiha Akira:

"Uchiha, I can only manage one more attack in this state. I'll leave the rest to you!"

Suikazan Fuguki and Momotaro Hayato weren't particularly fast for Jonin, so Uchiha Akira caught up to them with ease.

His Shadow Clone went after Suikazan Fuguki, while his original self pursued Momotaro Hayato.

Clearly, Uchiha Akira planned to deal with Momotaro Hayato, the wielder of Twin Blades Hiramekarei, first.

Compared with Suikazan Fuguki, the wielder of Great Blade Samehada, Momotaro Hayato would be easier to take down.

As the master of Great Blade Samehada, Suikazan Fuguki had a terrifying amount of chakra and could use a variety of large-scale Water Release Ninjutsu.

Water Style was highly effective against Fire Style, so if possible, Uchiha Akira wanted to save him for last and focus all his attention on dealing with him.

Momotaro Hayato had a substantial amount of chakra, but still nowhere near as much as Suikazan Fuguki.

The Sharingan let Uchiha Akira see everything clearly.

Without his teammates to back him up, Momotaro Hayato no longer seemed so threatening.

Twin Blades Hiramekarei wasn't a weapon known for its speed. With Uchiha Akira pressing him at every turn, Momotaro Hayato couldn't unleash its full power.

Under Uchiha Akira's lightning-fast assault, he was soon covered in wounds.

Meanwhile, Raiga Kurosuki was fast, but Might Duy was faster after opening the Gate of Wonder with the Eight Inner Gates.

He streaked across the ground like a flash of blue light and caught up to Raiga Kurosuki in just a few breaths.

As Raiga Kurosuki fled for his life, he realized there was no way he could match Might Duy's speed.

In an instant, he brought the two Lightning Blade Kiba swords in his hands together and poured all his chakra into them.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Armor!"

"Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon Tornado!"

A moment later, a dense blue lightning cloak enveloped Raiga Kurosuki.

Then a massive bolt of lightning burst from his body. In the blink of an eye, it became a gigantic lightning dragon that roared as it dove toward Might Duy.

"Dragon Strike!"

Might Duy answered with air cannons formed by countless punches pounding the air!

Boom!

Amid a deafening explosion, the lightning dragon couldn't withstand Might Duy's barrage for even a second. It was instantly swallowed by the shockwave from Dragon Strike, which burst outward in every direction.

In a flash, a vast stretch of the surrounding primeval forest vanished along with Raiga Kurosuki.

On the other two battlefields, Suikazan Fuguki and Momotaro Hayato were alarmed by the sight, but they had no way to shake Uchiha Akira.

The burly Suikazan Fuguki swung Great Blade Samehada, seething with frustration.

That Uchiha brat seemed to know Great Blade Samehada's strengths and weaknesses inside out. He never met him head-on or clashed with him using Ninjutsu. Instead, he threw Shuriken and kunai from every impossibly awkward angle.

Even he didn't dare let his guard down against the Uchiha Clan's weapon-throwing techniques.

Worse still, the Uchiha brat had infused his kunai and Shuriken with chakra nature transformations.

Not just one, either—he switched unpredictably between Wind and Lightning.

Suikazan Fuguki couldn't find a chance to form Hand Seals.

On top of that, the Uchiha Clan brat's dangerous Sharingan Genjutsu made him feel as though he had strength to spare but couldn't use any of it.

He'd never fought such a frustrating battle before.

"Damn the Uchiha Clan! Damn the Sharingan!"

Suikazan Fuguki screeched in fury. His fat body rolled left and right as he dodged Shuriken coming at him from every direction.

At the same time, his orange hair whipped like a mass of tough tentacles, batting away the incoming Shuriken.

When they struck, they rang with a metallic clang.

"No, I can't let this go on!" Once his anger ebbed, Suikazan Fuguki regained his composure.

The next moment, his massive reserves of chakra erupted. His orange hair instantly grew hard and long, spreading out into a huge orange umbrella.

Uchiha Akira's thrown weapons were so powerful that even Suikazan Fuguki's chakra-strengthened hair couldn't stop them.

With several sharp thuds, Shuriken wreathed in a pale yellow glow tore through Suikazan Fuguki's round body, drawing a string of blood.

Suppressing the pain, Suikazan Fuguki formed Hand Seals.

"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"

A moment later, Suikazan Fuguki opened his mouth and spewed out a torrent of milky-white mist. In an instant, it shrouded the forest for several hundred meters in every direction.

The mist was thick with chakra. It could even block the Rinnegan's vision, so the Sharingan was no exception.

Several more Shuriken crackling with electricity pierced his defenses. At the last possible moment, Great Blade Samehada behind him sprang to its master's defense, swelling and bristling with spikes to block the electrified kunai.

Seizing the opportunity, Suikazan Fuguki vanished from the spot with the Body Flicker Technique.

Once the Hidden Mist Technique blocked his vision, Uchiha Akira knew there was little chance he could take down Suikazan Fuguki today.

That remained true even though Suikazan Fuguki had been badly wounded.

The wielder of Great Blade Samehada was a warrior who would never tire, as long as he had enough chakra.

The blade gave him powerful regenerative abilities, stronger and faster than even the most advanced Medical Ninjutsu.

And this Hidden Mist Technique couldn't be dispersed by ordinary Wind Style. Given Suikazan Fuguki's chakra reserves, his Shadow Clone couldn't use Wind Style powerful enough to clear it.

After tracking him briefly, Uchiha Akira's Shadow Clone gave up on Suikazan Fuguki and turned its full attention to Momotaro Hayato.

Meanwhile, Momotaro Hayato, the wielder of Twin Blades Hiramekarei, was already in dire straits.

He wasn't a Jonin known for his speed, and Twin Blades Hiramekarei wasn't a Ninja Blade that excelled at it, either.

Twin Blades Hiramekarei was a Ninja Blade that relied on overwhelming power. It was less a sword than a cannon that fired chakra shells.

When Uchiha Akira's Shadow Clone arrived after pursuing Suikazan Fuguki, Momotaro Hayato found himself in genuine mortal danger.
