Didn't I Already Say It? You're All the Same

The few figures descending from the air all possessed skills at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Adjusting their states, they landed steadily in an open area, remaining on high alert and not daring to show the slightest negligence.

"As expected, this is your doing... Genmei!"

Watching the man and woman slowly emerge from the shadows of the building, Uchiha Kagami's expression turned grave.

Setsuna and the others beside him needed no instruction; they quickly surrounded the pair.

Uchiha Genmei sighed and spoke to the young girl beside him:

"Rai has an unfinished battle with you, so I shall not interfere."

He turned his head to look at the three:

Kagami, Setsuna, and Baru.

"As for these three, I will play with them for a while."

Hearing Uchiha Genmei's words, the two battle-hardened veterans remained silent, their expressions solemn.

Clang.

Uchiha Rai drew his ninja blade; having experienced Chiri's prowess before, he stared at her, not daring to be the least bit careless.

Beside him, Uchiha Baru was furious:

"Damn it! To think you'd dare look down on us!"

In the center of the field, the cold-faced girl ignored Baru's angry voice.

She activated the Body Flicker Technique and vanished in an instant.

Clang!

With a single strike, Uchiha Chiri blasted Uchiha Rai out of the area! She then leaped into the air, pursuing him at high speed.

"Troublesome! Is she trying to separate us?"

Uchiha Setsuna gritted his teeth as he watched his capable subordinate get blasted away.

Steel wires wrapped around his fingertips, and his Sharingan, activated long ago, spun rapidly.

Uchiha Genmei looked at the formation of the three men surrounding him.

He scoffed:

"Separate you? You've got it wrong."

He raised his hand with a contemptuous smile:

"To me, the number of people makes no difference."

Boom!

The earth overturned, instantly forming two massive mountains that clamped down on the arrogant youth!

[Earth Style: Earth Mountain Technique!]

It was a sneak attack launched by Uchiha Baru!

Watching the massive mountains close in, he sneered:

"Don't get too carried away... kid!"

Rumble!

A flash of golden divine energy erupted, and the massive mountains shattered!

Uchiha Genmei appeared, completely unscathed.

The armor of golden divine energy wrapped around his body was none other than a compressed, form-fitting Susanoo!

His scarlet eyes scanned the group, his brow arched with arrogance.

He smiled disdainfully:

"Let me test how effective taijutsu is in this state."

No sooner said than done, Uchiha Setsuna's figure appeared instantly behind Genmei.

His fingers moved.

Specialized steel wires coiled tightly around Uchiha Genmei.

"Hah!"

Uchiha Setsuna gave a forceful tug and immediately shouted:

"Kagami!"

Uchiha Kagami, who had been called, wore a look of murderous intent as he instantly formed the hand seals.

[Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!]

A straight, massive line of fire erupted from his mouth, clinging to the steel wires and hurtling toward Uchiha Genmei with lethal speed!

Seeing this, The trapped youth felt the golden divine energy on his armor tremble slightly.

Rip!

He snapped the steel wire ninja tools.

His figure instantly vanished from the eyes of Kagami and Setsuna.

"What?!"

"As expected, it wasn't that simple!"

The two men exclaimed in unison.

Watching the flames explode in mid-air, their Sharingan spun rapidly as they searched for the vanished figure.

Bang!

"Over here!"

The vanished figure appeared behind Uchiha Baru and kicked him flying.

After a cold snort, The figure that had been kicked exploded instantly.

Boom!

It formed a massive, winding serpent of fire that surged upward.

In the blink of an eye, it engulfed Uchiha Genmei, who was clad in his Golden Divine Armor!

"A Fire Clone?" Uchiha Genmei remarked, ignoring the flames coiling around him.

The Susanoo that had transformed into armor made him fearless!

With a shift of his body, He appeared right beside Uchiha Kagami.

He reached out his hand, And said indifferently:

"Gana."

Just as that golden hand of death was about to touch Uchiha Kagami, "Don't get too cocky... kid!" Uchiha Baru, who had reappeared, shouted as he spat out a massive, spherical fireball.

It was none other than the Great Fireball Technique!

Bang!

The immense impact blasted Uchiha Genmei, who had not dodged, back several dozen meters.

Seeing the incoming Great Fireball tremble, on the verge of exploding, Uchiha Genmei leaped into the air.

"You've fallen for it, brat!"

A steel wire caught Uchiha Genmei in mid-air, Where he had no leverage.

Uchiha Setsuna vaulted into the air, gave a powerful swing, and hurled the bound figure straight into the fireball!

Boom!

The massive blaze swallowed everything, and the shockwave of the explosion sent sand and stones flying across the field!

Uchiha Setsuna's body had yet to land back on the ground.

Cold sweat broke out on his face, And he murmured:

"Impossible?!"

Why the panic?

Because, In that split second.

Uchiha Genmei appeared beneath him as if by magic.

The cold-faced youth enlarged the armor on his right hand and swung it with effortless grace.

Clang!

As if swatting a fly, he sent Uchiha Setsuna flying into the distance!

He pivoted and stepped forward.

Clang!

He blocked Uchiha Baru, who had been charging in with his blade!

Amidst the rhythmic clashing of metal, the two collided a dozen times in the blink of an eye.

High atop a building.

Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan spun rapidly, desperately trying to find a flaw in Uchiha Genmei's defense.

"Damn it, they're fighting too closely; if I use ninjutsu, I'll hit him too!"

He grumbled, never expecting the situation on the field to shift in an instant.

Uchiha Baru was kicked away after parrying only a few blows!

The figure clad in the Golden Divine Armor stepped forward, his silhouette vanishing into thin air.

Before he could even react.

"Are you not going to attack?"

A cold voice rang out from behind him!

Caught off guard, he felt the figure behind him seize him by the throat.

The immense strength left him unable to resist as his body was flipped around.

Thud!

A powerful knee strike left him unable to even let out a cry of pain.

The hand around his throat loosened, and he clutched his abdomen, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

The attacker delivered a merciless kick, sending him tumbling off the high platform of the building.

Suddenly, Uchiha Baru's figure emerged from beneath Genmei's feet, wrapping his arms around his ankles.

"I've got you!"

The expressionless Uchiha Genmei looked down at the figure clinging to him.

He sighed:

"Is Baru-kun skilled in Earth Release? That's quite rare among the Uchiha."

Before Uchiha Genmei could launch a counterattack, a wave of heat surged toward him.

A massive dragon head opened its blood-red maw, soaring through the air to swallow Uchiha Genmei whole.

The deafening boom of the explosion shook the earth!

A mushroom-shaped cloud of air rose from the spot where the flames had consumed everything!

In the distance, Uchiha Setsuna exhaled a breath of stale air.

He felt smug, thinking, My Great Dragon Fire Technique is not so easily countered!

He offered a chilling smile:

"Even if your Susanoo is ever-changing and peerless in defense, the flames will consume all the oxygen in an instant, and you will suffocate to death!"

He didn't have long to gloat.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The sound echoed across the heavens!

Golden divine energy blew out the raging flames.

From within the smoke and dust, Uchiha Genmei's low voice drifted out:

"Trying to restrict me is useless; your Great Dragon Fire is only at this level."

Just at that moment, A faint glimmer ignited behind Uchiha Genmei, followed by the flash of a cold, murderous blade.

It was Uchiha Kagami, launching another assault.

He held his ninja sword, kneeling on one knee in a slashing posture.

But, His face was drenched in cold sweat, For his strike, delivered with absolute confidence, had missed its mark!

"Didn't I tell you? It makes no difference how many of you there are."

Uchiha Genmei was currently stepping on his back and head, Rendering him too terrified to move.
