The audience below the stage has no effect on what's happening on stage; the countdown to the match has been left until the very last moment.
As the referee confirmed the time was up, and with a shout of "Battle begins!" the two moved simultaneously.
Before the audience could even react, their blades clashed, sparks flying.
"Ha, Yukimichi, I didn't expect you to have been on the front lines for so long. Your swordsmanship is still the same. Your sword hasn't gotten any faster," Fū Uchiha said to Yukimichi Uchiha close by.
Yukimichi Uchiha's arm veins bulged, clearly indicating he was exerting force, but his expression remained impassive. "You're not bad either, your swordsmanship has deteriorated quite a bit. As expected, life in the village has made you weak!"
After a few harsh words, neither of them gained any advantage, so they quickly separated. Yukimichi Uchiha used the blade of Fū Uchiha to leap into the air and then rapidly Hand Seals.
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" Yukimichi Uchiha a deep breath, and then a huge fireball shot out of his mouth at high speed.
"Lightning Shield - Lightning Open!" Fū Uchiha was no pushover either; the moment the fireball appeared, he too formed Hand Seals and unleashed his Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
The two Ninjutsu clashed, creating a cloud of smoke. The two on the field activated their Three-Tomoe Sharingan almost simultaneously, rapidly assessing each other's condition.
Yukimichi Uchiha saw Fū Uchiha's movements almost one second ago, and the next second Fū Uchiha's high kick was already coming.
Yukimichi Uchiha quickly dodged Fū Uchiha's kick, then formed hand Hand Seals, preparing to unleash another Ninjutsu.
But as Fū Uchiha retracted his leg, he shifted his weight downwards and slashed down.
Yukimichi Uchiha forming the Hand Seals, had no choice but to parry with his sword, and naturally, the Ninjutsu was not successfully released.
Since Yukimichi Uchiha didn't use any Ninjutsu, it was Fū Uchiha's turn. Having gained the initiative, he immediately unleashed his Ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" The raging flames quickly reached Uchiha Yukichi's front, but Uchiha Yukichi was, after all, an elite member of the Mizogatsu Uchiha clan.
Even at such close range, he still managed to dodge the attack using his agility.
Then, while performing a somersault, he quickly threw several Shuriken, forcing back Fū Uchiha who was following behind him. Suddenly, several threads appeared from his hands.
Then, a flame quickly spread from the fingertip along the thread to the Shuriken. Fū Uchiha, on the other side, immediately sensed something was wrong; he saw the intense Chakra emanating from the Shuriken.
" Earth Release!" Just as Fū Uchiha released his Ninjutsu and slammed his hand into the ground, Yukimichi Uchiha's attack had already arrived.
" Fire Style: Shuriken Manipulation Technique!" The Shuriken, flying through the air, rapidly burst into flames before exploding, each burning fragment hurtling towards Fū Uchiha.
"Thud, thud..." The fragments embedded themselves hard in the earthen wall that rose from the ground. Fū Uchiha was slightly out of breath. Fortunately, his Ninjutsu was executed quickly enough; otherwise, he would have been defeated.
But now, Fū Uchiha has lost the initiative on the battlefield, and the situation has become somewhat passive.
Having gained the upper hand, Yukimichi Uchiha immediately pressed his advantage, unleashing several more Ninjutsu.
" Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!" A spear formed of lightning pierced straight into the earthen wall summoned by Fū Uchiha, and in an instant, the earthen wall crumbled.
Yukimichi Uchiha's attacks, using " Wind Release: Wind Blade," came one after another, giving Fū Uchiha a chance to breathe.
" Wind Release: Storm Tornado" - Fū Uchiha unleashed a large-scale Ninjutsu without hesitation in order to regain the initiative in the battle.
In an instant, a massive tornado rapidly formed on the dueling field. Fū Uchiha slammed his fist forward, hurling the tornado towards Yukimichi Uchiha.
Tornadoes are filled with countless wind blades; anyone who touches one will be cut.
Yukimichi Uchiha was naturally not to be outdone, and without hesitation poured Chakra into the fire dragon he released, wielding the " Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique."
The main function of this technique is that the more Chakra you use, the larger the output becomes. A gigantic fire dragon was instantly spewed from his mouth, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the oncoming tornado.
The fire dragon and the tornado quickly intertwined, the wind blades carrying raging flames, and the fire dragon's form vanished into the tornado.
With a whoosh, the tornado was engulfed by the fire dragon, which in turn was struck and dissipated, transforming into waves of heat that spread outwards, even affecting the audience below the stage.
"Damn, it's so hot... this temperature... I have the energy!"
Of course, there were also some bloodthirsty viewers who didn't care at all. "This scene was worth the ticket price! Even dying would be worth it!"
The two on stage then engaged in a comprehensive contest of Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, fighting for a long time without a clear winner.
After creating another gap in Yukimichi Uchiha squatted on the ground, panting. Due to releasing too many Ninjutsu, his Chakra was now running low.
"Looks like we need to finish this quickly," Yukimichi Uchiha, looking up at Fū Uchiha.
Fū Uchiha was also in poor condition; the battle had drained a large amount of his Chakra. After noticing Yukimichi Uchiha, he realized that Yukimichi Uchiha didn't have much Chakra left either.
The moment their eyes met, the two stood up almost simultaneously, then simultaneously Hand Seals: " Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation "
Almost simultaneously, the two spewed flames from their mouths, which collided, while they continued to inject Chakra into the flames.
A key characteristic of the Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame is its continuous Chakra and unquenchable flames, so the two are now essentially competing in terms of Chakra.
Actually, judging from the format of their match, it should have been just a friendly sparring session, but perhaps the intense fighting earlier caused them to get carried away.
The two are now completely enraged, having forgotten that this is a friendly sparring match where the point should be reached but not lost, and are pulling out all the stops.
The two continued to increase their Chakra infusion, and the flames spewing from their mouths continued to rise and grow larger.
The two colliding flames continued to expand and rise, scorching the surrounding area and increasing the temperature.
The audience members were sweating profusely from the heat, but no one seemed to care.
Everyone was focused on who would ultimately win, their eyes glued to the flame on the stage.
Finally, the two flames completely intertwined and exploded outwards.
The two people on the stage were also engulfed by the flames, which even briefly affected the audience below.
Fortunately, the barrier was relatively stable; the flames struck the barrier but did not break through.
