Situation

The Mangekyo Sharingan reflected in Nakagawa's mind, plunging him into a daze as his movements slowed noticeably.

The surrounding water vapor filled the air, and two kunai swiftly slashed across Nakagawa's vital points, the intense pain instantly waking him up and leaving him feeling as though he could barely breathe.

He pressed both hands against his throat, but the blood refused to stop, pouring outward and melting into the rain filling the sky.

His heart area was already dyed a crimson red, and the remaining thoughts in Nakagawa's mind made him recall the jutsu used by the Uchiha. He opened his mouth to say something, but two fatal attacks had already drained all the strength from his body.

His eyes slowly closed, and he collapsed to the ground, Nakagawa, the Iwagakure senior official and commander of the Wind-Earth Allied Forces, was dead.

The surrounding water vapor began to disperse, the magma on the ground extinguished, and the central area of the battlefield came back into the view of both sides' ninja.

Looking at Nakagawa lying on the ground, along with the pale red rain welling up below, the ninja of both sides fell somewhat silent.

Especially the Stone shinobi among the Wind-Earth Allied Forces simply could not believe what they were seeing; their direct leader Nakagawa had died at the hands of Fugaku Uchiha during their duel.

"Lord Nakagawa actually..."

"Fugaku Uchiha killed Lord Nakagawa!"

Many Stone shinobi continuously muttered to themselves, releasing the fear within their hearts. Nakagawa's strength was something many Stone shinobi could only look up to; within the allied forces, he was the sky for the Stone shinobi, and now the sky had collapsed.

Especially the remaining nine Stone shinobi from the engagement, seeing Nakagawa die a miserable death on the spot, wore expressions of disbelief
