Uchiha Fugaku formed twelve complex hand seals in an instant, so fast that a string of afterimages lingered in the air.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Fugaku drew in a sharp breath, his chest swelling visibly, then expelled an enormous amount of Chakra mixed with air straight ahead.
Boom—!
A massive blaze swept forward like a scorching tidal wave!
The flames rose over ten meters high and covered half the training ground. Wherever they passed, the hard earth was instantly burned into blackened glass, while the air warped under the heat and let out an overburdened shriek.
The watching clansmen staggered back in horror. Even from over a hundred meters away, the scorching heatwave still seared their cheeks.
This was the power of the Uchiha Clan Head.
Fire Release standing at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World!
Faced with this terrifying ninjutsu that could destroy an entire army, Uchiha Yao finally took his hand out of his pocket.
He formed hand seals even faster than Uchiha Fugaku.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."
Uchiha Yao softly spoke the name of the same technique Fugaku had used.
A denser, deeper-colored flame, nearly dark crimson, poured from Uchiha Yao's mouth.
The two streams of fire collided thunderously in the center of the training ground.
There was no violent explosion as imagined.
Uchiha Yao's dark crimson flames effortlessly tore through Fugaku's fiery tidal wave, splitting it in two.
The torrent of flames howled past either side of Uchiha Yao's body and crashed heavily into the distant walls of the training ground, leaving behind two bottomless black scorch marks.
The entire venue fell silent.
The same ninjutsu had produced utterly different results.
This was no longer a difference in technique.
This was Chakra Nature, an absolute crushing disparity in the level of power.
