Mahoraga

Shin'yu formed hand seals at incredible speed, launching his counterattack the moment he rose to his feet.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Flames burst forth as he spat out a fireball as large as an izakaya. Heat exceeding a thousand degrees flowed through the air, and crimson fire lit up the night sky!

"How does this kid have this much Chakra?!"

The fireball came crushing down, pushing forward with rolling flames. The ground cracked inch by inch, as though an army of thousands could not halt its advance!

Tobirama narrowed his eyes, immediately tossing the stunned Uchiha Kagami behind him before clapping his hands together.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

A waterfall-like torrent of water emerged from nowhere, forming a circular wall along the fireball's path and spinning furiously around Tobirama.

Water and fire collided, instantly producing massive amounts of steam.

Shin'yu spread open a scroll and drew out a new long blade. Holding both swords level, he poured Fire Style Chakra into their hilts, and bright flames immediately ignited along their blades like two crimson torches.

"Uchiha Style: Sword-Leaping Flame." His figure vanished from the spot.

Everyone's vision was obscured. Through the haze, they only saw a shadow dart toward the village entrance, where the Uchiha Ninja were gathered, followed by one muffled groan after another.

"You were the ones who dragged me into this battlefield!"

A flash of Blade Light. Blood sprayed!

"You were the ones who made me risk my life!"

Deadly flaming blades flickered in and out of sight. Shin'yu was like the god of death within the fog, magma-like light flowing through his crimson pupils.

"And now, you're the ones trying to kill me!"

He was too fast. The Body Flicker Technique activated one after another, and with the Mangekyo Sharingan's innate suppressive power, no one could withstand even a single exchange. Screams and pleas for mercy vanished in an instant!

"Damn it, this guy actually..."

"How is that possible?!"

"Help, hel—"

"Are those Senju bastards just going to stand there and watch?!"

"Shin'yu, Shin'yu! We're from the same clan!"

"No! Agh—"

Shin'yu's gaze was icy. At that moment, he resembled an emotionless killing machine.

With twin swords in hand, he spun at high speed around his own body like a blazing tornado. Every time he flashed into view, another ninja was hacked into pieces, bright red blood spraying through the wind!

By the time everyone reacted, more than half of the Uchiha clan members on the field had already been slaughtered!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The gale roared. At last, someone used Wind Release to blow away the fog.

At that moment, the Water Formation Wall began bubbling. Amid the spreading heat, the fireball was finally extinguished.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Blast!"

Tobirama changed his hand seals, and the remaining water rapidly expanded, spreading beneath Shin'yu's feet in an instant.

Shin'yu immediately leaped up, but an immensely powerful suction force came from the water below. A huge whirlpool swallowed him whole.

Like floodwaters pouring backward, the rushing water gathered at its highest point into an enormous Water Dragon before crashing down fiercely!

"Boom—"

Surging waves poured out in every direction. The ground collapsed, and even the surrounding houses were washed away.

Tobirama's eyes narrowed. Shin'yu's figure appeared in his sight once more. This time, he was soaked through, yet there was not a single wound on his body. Only his right arm was twisted at an unnatural angle.

In the blink of an eye, he had recovered completely. His clothes were dry again, and his eyes shone brightly.

Tobirama's expression turned grave. He saw Shin'yu's left eye turn once more. Though the movement was extremely subtle, he still caught it.

For some reason, a chilling sensation flashed through his heart, making him pause.

"What was that... an illusion? Why did I suddenly become nervous around this kid?"

"Lightning Release: False Darkness."

Shin'yu threw away the broken hilt and raised one hand. Lightning coiled around his palm as overwhelming thunderbolts streaked across the battlefield. Even people a thousand meters away heard the muffled thunder, and the night sky was lit up once again.

In the damp air, lightning conducted even more effectively. Arcs of electricity crackled and exploded, about to engulf everyone.

Several quick-reacting Jonin immediately formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Chaotic Airflow Dance!"

"Wind Release: Great Wind Cutter Technique!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

The flashing lightning gradually dissipated. This single Lightning Release technique had required three Wind Release users just to barely withstand it!

"He's clearly an Uchiha. Where did this absurd amount of Chakra come from?" Tobirama frowned deeply, lost in thought.

He was an excellent Sensor Ninja and was highly sensitive to the amount and intensity of a person's Chakra.

This kid clearly did not have much Chakra, yet after consecutively unleashing two large-scale Ninjutsu, he was neither flushed nor out of breath. He even seemed to have energy to spare.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Shin'yu took the initiative. A vast barrage of flames shot forth, vaguely enveloping everyone.

The Senju Ninja used every means at their disposal. Some unleashed Water Release, while others flickered away, but the flames scattered in every direction like phoenix sage flower seeds bursting loose at the slightest touch.

Under Shin'yu's control, the flames seemed capable of tracking their targets. Avoiding every last one was no easy task, and two unlucky men were wrapped in crimson fire, letting out miserable screams.

The encirclement fell into disarray. Taking advantage of the thick fog, Shin'yu immediately retreated toward the village entrance.

"Ame no Tokotachi" granted him a unique period of invincibility. Whenever his body was damaged, he fell into an abnormal state, his Chakra was overly depleted, or he found himself at a disadvantage, it would rewind his personal time to before the damage. At that point, both his health and Chakra reserves would reset, leaving his body in peak condition at all times.

From the moment he activated his ocular technique, a five-minute timeline had begun.

After rewinding, as long as he did not suffer damage again within the next second, even that five-minute timeline would reset. As long as he met that condition, he could remain invincible indefinitely.

Suddenly, the sound of something slicing through the air came from behind him. As if he had foreseen it, Shin'yu tilted his head, and a rapidly fired kunai grazed past his right face.

Shin'yu's pupils contracted. His powerful dynamic vision allowed him to spot the Flying Thunder God marking imprinted on the underside of the kunai.

The next instant, Tobirama Senju appeared at his side without warning. The moment he materialized, he gripped the kunai in reverse and viciously stabbed it toward Shin'yu's throat without hesitation!

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

At that very moment, Shin'yu's lips curved upward. A hand struck from an impossible angle, seizing Tobirama's wrist with a sharp clap.

"I've been waiting for you, Lord Tobirama!"

Tobirama was startled. Shin'yu's reaction was absurdly fast—he had actually kept up with his speed at the first instant!

His wrist felt as though it were clamped in an iron vise. The kunai and even his entire arm seemed trapped in a swamp, unable to move an inch.

But Tobirama responded swiftly, forming a seal with one hand. A massive flow of water spread along Shin'yu's arm, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye and turning him into a huge sphere of water.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

That was not all. He puffed out his cheeks again. "Water Release: Sky Cry!"

Three water needles as thin as ox hairs pierced the air. Like rain falling from the sky, they instantly entered the water sphere, sending ripples across its surface.

The water needles flew incredibly fast and were nearly invisible within the sphere. Concealed and swift, they shot straight for Shin'yu's eyes and the center of his brow.

Just then, Shin'yu raised his right hand. Nearly tangible Chakra enveloped his entire palm, and with a fierce sweep, an icy-blue streak flashed past!

All three water needles shattered at once. The water sphere was split in half down the middle like a watermelon cleaved by a blade, spilling across the ground.

The Blade Light was unstoppable. In Tobirama's stunned gaze, his body was torn apart along with it. Blood splashed as he was severed into two pieces.

Back when he had first endured Tobirama's Water Release attacks, Shin'yu had activated "Mahoraga" in his left eye, beginning his adaptation to Tobirama's Water Release Ninjutsu.

After repeated attacks, the adaptation had gradually completed. The countermeasure it had analyzed was this fleeting Chakra Blade!

Shin'yu's Chakra Blade could not only adjust its density through output intensity, but could even mimic the flow of water, penetrating everywhere while possessing terrifying cutting power.

Its effect seemed similar to the A-rank Medical Ninjutsu, "Chakra Scalpel," but unlike that technique, Shin'yu could freely control the length and sharpness of his Chakra Blade, truly achieving the feat of cutting water with a drawn blade!

No matter how fierce the current's impact or how sharp the water needles were, they would be severed by the Blade Light and rendered useless.

It was worth noting that his immunity applied only to Tobirama's Water Release Ninjutsu. However, the countermeasure learned through adaptation was a permanent skill he could carry with him!

This was the ocular technique of his left-eye Mangekyo: "Mahoraga"!

Tobirama's body hit the ground and burst into white smoke with a bang.

"A Shadow Clone?" Shin'yu frowned slightly.

Not far away, Tobirama stared at the youth within the fog with lingering fear. Luckily, he had used a Shadow Clone to test him first. Otherwise, things would have truly become troublesome!

"He broke through the Water Prison from the inside! And my Water Release has become weaker each time... Could this be the ability of his left eye?" As he analyzed the situation, his brows twisted tightly together.

From the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the Body Flicker Technique, and then to such a troublesome Mangekyo ocular technique...

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became. He had already made up his mind: he absolutely could not allow this kid to leave here alive!

Though they had only fought for a few minutes, the successive large-scale Ninjutsu had already caused quite a commotion. More and more ninja were arriving at the scene.

Shin'yu ducked slightly to evade an attack while shaping his palm into a blade. The brilliant blue Chakra Blade sliced through the air and entered his opponent's abdomen without resistance!

With a squelch, bloody fragments flew everywhere. The scene was utterly gruesome.

Even Shin'yu, its wielder, was secretly shocked by such terrifying power and could not help examining the Chakra Blade in his hand.

Almost tangible Chakra emerged from his palm, forming a stable, resilient Light Blade. The Chakra inside flowed as violently as rushing water at a speed invisible to the naked eye, faintly forming a closed circuit.

"I learned something good. Since I learned it here, I'll call you..." Shin'yu's lips curled up. "'Autumn Dew on Leaves'!"

"But..." He looked at the growing number of ninja. "There isn't much time left. I have to break through with everything I have!"

On the other side, Tobirama had also completed his initial analysis of Shin'yu's abilities.

"My Water Release Ninjutsu is ineffective, but that does not mean other Ninjutsu will be ineffective. At any given time, he should only be able to immunize himself against one attribute. Then..."

His expression was cold, and his deep voice rang across the battlefield!

"Everyone, do not engage him in close combat. Attack together with long-range Ninjutsu!"

The ninja obeyed, rapidly pulling back. In an instant, countless hand seals were reflected in Shin'yu's pupils.

"Lightning Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"

For a moment, wind, fire, lightning, and earth raged across the sky. Countless Ninjutsu poured down like a torrential storm, and Shin'yu's eyes were illuminated by their light.

"Only one minute left. I can't let them wear me down like this!"

His gaze remained calm. "No choice. I can only..."

"Third Power, Susanoo!"

Dense Black Qi erupted from within his body like black flames igniting. Amid fierce winds, a pitch-black skeleton took shape in an instant, its aura heavy and solemn, bearing the texture of obsidian!

Two enormous skeletal hands reached out from the Black Qi. With only a casual sweep, they sent more than half the Ninjutsu flying away! Then came a deafening, thunderous roar. The sound waves raised a Shockwave, and every remaining Ninjutsu shattered and dispersed.

Everyone's eyes widened, stunned by the sight before them. Some even froze in place, with only their hearts pounding wildly in their chests.

The massive black skeleton completely enveloped Shin'yu, like an undead specter crawling out of the abyss! Though it possessed only an Upper body, it still exuded an unmatched domineering aura, as though it could destroy all things with a lift of its hand.

"Those who stand in my way, die!"

Shin'yu spat out the cold words as blood slowly streamed down his handsome face.

Black Qi churned like battle flags. At that moment, he was like a war god immune to all techniques, clad in dark armor and standing unshaken!
