Since Uchiha Fugaku did not have the Mangekyō, Bieshu Feifan was no longer afraid.
He charged over, drew his blade, and slashed at him.
After his initial shock, Fugaku quickly recovered and drew a kunai to fight back.
Bieshu Feifan put all his strength into a downward slash.
Uchiha Fugaku caught it with his kunai, redirecting the force while throwing shuriken at Bieshu Feifan with his other hand.
Steel wires trailed behind the shuriken.
Bieshu Feifan pushed his eyes' visual power to the limit, taking in every movement Uchiha Fugaku made.
He twisted the long blade with both hands, knocking Fugaku's shuriken aside.
Relying on his greater strength, Bieshu Feifan tried to keep pressing his blade down.

Bieshu Feifan wanted to retreat,
but with a light tug, Fugaku sent the wire-linked shuriken that had been deflected earlier hurtling toward Bieshu Feifan, wreathed in flames.
Bieshu Feifan frowned.
This Uchiha Fugaku knew his tricks too!
Although Bieshu Feifan's visual power was strong enough, his combat instincts and tactical intelligence were still those of the pig butcher he had been back then.

Seeing yet another wide-ranging blaze, Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth.
He retreated while rapidly forming hand seals, creating a shadow clone.
Then his real body used Earth Release to defend in front, while his shadow clone used Phoenix Flower Fire to
