How Is This Possible

In the forest bathed in moonlight, It was a battlefield of ninja slaughter, a feast of blood and fire.

Lightning and fire surged to the heavens.

Uchiha Genmei was like a god of war.

Twisting and turning, Wherever his gaze fell, The enemies wept blood!

Dodai swayed, Barely dodging the sword of lightning and fire swung by Genmei.

So strong!

How could he be this strong!

I cannot let him continue, or morale will collapse.

He roared, "Nii Gyobu, strike now!!!"

"I know, I know. You told me to ambush him, but who would have thought it would be such a one-sided slaughter."

The purple-haired youth, wreathed in blue demon fire, Joined the fray!

He charged straight at Uchiha Genmei, who was moving as if through an empty field.

Bang!

Noticing the newcomer, Uchiha Genmei finished off a Cloud jonin before him with a single slash.

He raised his blade to parry.

Uchiha Genmei raised an eyebrow:

"This chakra... a jinchuriki? You really went to great lengths to kill me."

Nii Gyobu roared, "Scum, watch me tear you apart!"

"If you can manage it, give it a try!"

Hearing Uchiha Genmei's retort, He took a deep breath.

[Fire Rat Jade!]

A massive, rat-shaped flame surged toward Uchiha Genmei!

The fire tore through the sky, pressing down with terrifying momentum.

Clang!

A clear ringing of a blade sounded from the god of lightning and fire, its edge tearing through the rat-shaped demon fire.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The scattered demon fire did not vanish, but instead split into a multitude of blue fireballs.

They continued to assault the god of lightning and fire.

Uchiha Genmei's expression tightened.

His figure flickered as he unleashed god-like speed.

"What? So fast!"

Gyobu looked on in disbelief as Uchiha Genmei suddenly appeared before his eyes.

How is this possible? My eyes actually couldn't keep up with his movements?

A cold, ghostly glint flashed by.

It interrupted his thoughts.

He cursed inwardly:

Not good!

Boom!

After a deafening roar, massive amounts of lightning, fire, and demon fire splashed everywhere.

A figure flew out, slamming into the ground with a thunderous crash.

As the dust settled, the scene came into view.

"Damn it! We can't keep up with that Uchiha's speed at all!"

"Is he too strong? If I'm not mistaken, was that Lord Gyobu who just flew out?"

"Quick, protect the jinchuriki!"

"That demon Uchiha Genmei isn't moving—what a perfect opportunity!"

The remaining dozens of ninja, led by over ten jonin, charged toward Uchiha Genmei.

Flashes of thunderous light erupted among them; they were all experts who had mastered the Cloud Village's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The chunin being led dared not unleash large-scale ninjutsu.

They were afraid of friendly fire.

Uchiha Genmei stood surrounded by lightning and fire, his expression one of disdain: "Is this all the jinchuriki amounts to? Is this the extent of your level?"

He took a deep breath.

He roared, "You dare come to kill me with this level of strength!!!"

Terrifying chakra flames ignited.

Lightning and fire roared!

[Secret Technique: First Form: Lightning Flash!]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The god-speed lightning and flame dragged light and shadow behind them; blade-light severed heads, pierced hearts, and scorched enemy bodies with lightning and fire.

Not a single enemy could withstand even one blow from him.

In an instant, corpses littered the field!

With a 'crack' from within the smoke, Nii Gyobu staggered out.

Dodai leaped to his side, asking with an ugly expression, "How are you?"

"Cough, cough~"

"This brat is too strong; I'm going to have to use that!"

Gyobu covered his mouth and replied with difficulty.

Hearing this, Dodai nodded grimly.

There was no other choice; that Uchiha Genmei across from them was like a god of slaughter.

They were simply no match for him.

Damn it! If only they hadn't agreed to the suggestion of Chinoike Gosho to split their forces.

How did it come to this!

After finishing off an enemy, Uchiha Yuta watched with a dark expression.

He looked toward the forest illuminated by the light of lightning and fire.

Truly terrifying, Lord Genmei.

Caution, keen intuition, cruelty, and strength!

All gathered in one person—you really are a dangerous individual.

As an Uchiha, I have done my utmost against the foreign enemy this time.

Regardless of what you intend to do or what schemes you have for that boy from the Chinoike clan, I will not stop or hinder you.

On the contrary, I will even give you a hand.

Consider it compensation for what comes later.

He flashed to a deserted spot and pressed his hands to the ground in a seal.

With a puff of smoke, a black Ninja Cat appeared.

"Meow, what is it, meow?"

Uchiha Yuta handed over a scroll.

With a calm expression, he said, "As quickly as possible, please deliver this to Lord Setsuna."

The Ninja Cat didn't waste words; it took the scroll and vanished in a 'poof' of smoke.

"Don't blame me, my lord. Your growth rate is simply... incomprehensible."

"Lord Setsuna's previous arrangements were not enough. I'll provide a reminder this time, hoping the power that comes will be even greater."

"For the sake of the clan, for the sake of the Hokage seat, anyone who stands in our way—even a clansman—will not be spared."

"Whew~"

He let out a long breath.

Lowering his eyelids, he flashed onto the battlefield to continue the slaughter.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Lord Gosho, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

The white-haired youth held a note with an anxious expression. On it was written:

Yui is in my hands now. If you want her back, come to the Tenshukaku.

Gabimaru had originally been in the streets buying groceries.

He had been preparing to cook a sumptuous dinner for his recovering wife.

Who could have imagined that a deep crimson barrier would suddenly shroud Hell Valley?

The thunderous roars and sounds of slaughter outside the barrier

let him know that an unknown enemy had invaded from somewhere.

Rushing home, he found his beloved wife missing!

The words on the note stung him deeply.

Tenshukaku.

That was a place where only the local lord, the head of the Chinoike Clan, could reside.

At this thought, Gabimaru's expression turned stern, and he sprinted toward the Tenshukaku at full speed.

His heart was filled with anxiety:

Wait for me, Yui!

"Muda, muda, muda, muda, muda, muda!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"What kind of small-fry are these! You think you can kill me with just this?!"

Uchiha Genmei's excited voice echoed throughout the eerie Forest of Death.

A jagged, cruel smile bloomed on his face, spreading death across this region.

Wherever his lightning and fire passed, death followed!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment!

A symphony of lightning, fire, and death rang out to the heavens!

Suddenly, a buzzing sound arrived.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

"Don't get too carried away, you Uchiha bastard!"

"Watch as I tear you to shreds!"

Gyobu's roar reached him.

Hm?

Uchiha Genmei halted his killing spree.

He turned his head toward the source of the sound.

He saw

Gyobu rushing toward him, appearing completely crazed.

With a ferocious expression, the unbelievable happened before Uchiha Genmei's eyes.

Gyobu's body underwent a transformation, shifting into a massive, hideous form.

He resembled a demonic cat with heterochromatic eyes of blue fire.

The final form of a jinchuriki.

Tailed Beast Transformation!

With a leap, he soared into the clouds.

A sinister black sphere condensed within his gaping maw, covering the distance of several hundred meters in an instant.

Tailed Beast Bomb!

BOOM!!!

The world lost all its color!

"Fantastic, it's a hit." Dodai roared with excitement, struggling to resist the monstrous shockwaves stirred up by the Tailed Beast Bomb's explosion.

The Bewitching Blue Fire Demon Cat paced, fixing its gaze upon the cloud of smoke.

Matatabi, that female cat, reminded herself not to be careless.

Yet, in a situation like this, even the Raikage would perish.

How could a mere Uchiha possibly...

Before his thoughts could resolve, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The smoke kicked up by the Tailed Beast Bomb was rapidly blown away by something!

"No way..." Gyobu's feline face tightened, disbelief washing over him.

Dodai collapsed directly to his knees, muttering, "Impossible... how could this be..."

The smoke cleared completely!

A colossal Golden Deity stood tall upon the earth!

Looking down upon all living things with disdain!
