You're too slow

The instant Susanoo's armor formed, Armament Haki covered it, adding another sheen to Susanoo.

Standing amid the storm, Uchiha Gen chose to meet the raging winds head-on!

In the past, because he had to ration his chakra and Eye Power, Uchiha Gen had never unleashed Armament Haki and Susanoo at full strength.

But things were different now. With Blue Buff on him, he had no need to worry about chakra consumption.

With Susanoo fully unleashed, countless pitch-black flames instantly ignited around Uchiha Gen, forming a small domain centered on him.

Susanoo, second form-Domain!!

It manifested the soul-burning Yin Release Chakra dwelling within the Sharingan, creating a domain of flames that moved with Susanoo.

Anyone fighting an Uchiha within this domain would have their soul constantly scorched by black flames. At the same time, sustained by both the Uchiha's Eye Power and chakra, these black flames could also burn the enemy's chakra as a means of defense.

As this domain spread, it forcibly cleared an absolutely windless vacuum domain within five meters of Uchiha Gen amid the raging hurricane sweeping the forest!

Every gust of wind was completely devoured the instant it touched the black flames.

Feeling the frantic drain on his chakra and Eye Power, Uchiha Gen could not help smiling. He would never have dared to do this before.

At the sight of Uchiha Gen's current state, all seven Sunagakure Shinobi's pupils abruptly constricted.

How could they fail to recognize this appearance of Uchiha Gen's!

"He's an Uchiha shinobi!"

With Susanoo so obvious, what shinobi from the Five Great Shinobi Villages would fail to recognize it? Throughout the Shinobi World, legend held that it took five shinobi of the same level to contend with one Uchiha shinobi.

"Keep up the pressure! Don't stop! The Uchiha Clan can't maintain their domains for long. Although their domains can burn chakra like Lady Pakura's Scorch Release, their consumption far exceeds hers! Don't worry, he won't hold out much longer!"

Among the six Chunin, one Sunagakure shinobi who knew about the Uchiha Clan shouted.

Hearing this, the other five gritted their teeth and poured in more chakra.

The raging winds surged again, pressing frantically against the vacuum domain in overlapping layers, trying to forcibly tear apart Uchiha Gen's domain defense!

"Well, that's a good idea. Unfortunately, I have no intention of just standing here and taking a beating."

Feeling the winds around him intensify, Uchiha Gen could not help curling his lips upward. Although he had Blue Buff, that did not mean he could waste his chakra at will.

Uchiha Gen gently raised his hand just as the winds intensified.

Flames instantly shot skyward from beneath his feet.

Seventh Sense—Fire Manipulation Technique—Full Release!

Crimson flames spread wildly across the ground, bursting rapidly through the gaps in the forest, and the roaring fire swept upward against the raging winds.

The wind fed the fire, and the fire swallowed the airflow. The entire green wind domain was instantly covered by a crimson sea of flames!

Shattered wood, broken branches, and raging winds filling the sky all became fuel for the spreading blaze.

With the addition of flames, the originally green tornado became a fiercely burning cage of fire in the blink of an eye.

Fire manipulation meant absolute control over flames!

At the same time, the black flames surrounding Susanoo also began merging into the fire.

At that very instant, a streak of green light broke through the flames in the forest. A cold, deadly Ninja Blade slashed horizontally, its sharp sword pressure tearing through the air and splitting all the remaining tree trunks along its path lengthwise.

The attacker was none other than the Sunagakure Jonin who had been waiting nearby for Uchiha Gen's domain to fade. His slash came at a tricky angle, aimed directly at the vital point of Uchiha Gen's neck. Without any unnecessary probing, his first strike was an all-out attack.

As everyone knew, one must never get drawn into a prolonged fight against an Uchiha shinobi. Otherwise, one's soul would inevitably suffer severe burns.

Uchiha Gen slid slightly sideways, just clearing the blade's edge.

The Ninja Blade swept past his shoulder, but despite the cutting wind, Susanoo remained completely unscathed.

His Sharingan turned slowly. Taking advantage of the moment when the Sunagakure Jonin's old force had spent itself and fresh force had yet to build, a faint purple glow appeared in Uchiha Gen's hand.

Demon Blade Thousand Blades!

The instant the demon blade entered his hand, Uchiha Gen swung it backhanded. Its ghostly blue fragments abruptly scattered, becoming a fan-shaped tide of blades that swept toward his opponent.

Clang!!!

Facing the attack, the Sunagakure Jonin pulled his Ninja Blade back in time for a spinning parry. The thunderous clash of metal echoed through the mountain forest.

Sparks burst continuously from the Ninja Blade's surface in an instant. Yet even as he blocked these fragments, the electrical arcs coiling around them traveled along his blade and erupted across the Sunagakure Jonin's arm.

The current jolted the Sunagakure Jonin's grip numb, and he took several stamping steps backward to steady himself.

At the same time, the surrounding flames lunged toward the Sunagakure Jonin as though they had awakened to consciousness.

Seeing this, the Sunagakure Jonin immediately changed the form of his wind armor. Green currents flowed, rapidly drawing up gravel from the ground. Wrapped in wind, the stones became a heavy suit of stone armor in an instant.

In a flash, the wind armor transformed completely into stone armor wrapped in green wind.

As the armor formed, the Sunagakure Shinobi Jonin fiercely swung the Ninja Blade in his hand. Crescent-shaped slashes immediately tore free of its edge, cutting toward Uchiha Gen.

"Are you kidding me?"

Seeing a Wind Release shinobi clad in Rock Armor, Uchiha Gen could not help tightening his grip on the demon blade. What the hell was this thing?

"Since you've switched to playing with mud, try this."

Looking at the Sunagakure Jonin completely encased in stone, Uchiha Gen's gaze turned cold as he raised the Demon Blade Thousand Blades and aimed its edge at him.

In an instant, countless electrical arcs began dancing across the demon blade.

Thousand Blades-Electromagnetic Cannon!

The demon blade disassembled in an instant. Countless blade fragments shot out like lasers, trailing electrical arcs. These lasers moved so fast that they completely enveloped the Rock Armor in the blink of an eye.

Boom!!!

The Rock Armor shattered instantly. Yet through his Sharingan, Uchiha Gen could see a green figure that had already escaped the instant the demon blade's fragments touched the Rock Armor.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound suddenly rang out as the air was torn apart.

The Sunagakure Jonin's figure almost merged with the wind. His entire body became a blurred afterimage, and the Ninja Blade in his hand trailed pale green wind as it chopped straight at Uchiha Gen's throat.

The Sharingan instantly caught the trajectory of his movements. This was not a straight-line rush, but a zigzagging advancing slash.

Uchiha Gen immediately raised the demon blade in his hand, intending to recall all its fragments.

"Young Uchiha, you're... too slow."

The Sunagakure Jonin's voice came from within the wind.

He twisted in midair, his body skimming past the shattered stones like a sheet of paper. He suddenly reversed his grip on the Ninja Blade and slashed fiercely at Uchiha Gen's neck.

The strike came at a tricky angle, catching the precise gap before the Demon Blade Thousand Blades' fragments could return to defend. Coated in a wind blade capable of cutting through any steel, the Ninja Blade thrust forward.
