However, shockingly, [Great Dragon Homura Technique] unleashed by Shiyu Uchiha turned out to be unimaginably powerful! The roaring fiery dragon surged forward toward the Earth-Style Wall like a raging beast as part of Fire Release's overwhelming power, easily breaking through its defensive barrier with crushing force.
Immediately afterward, the flaming dragon mercilessly crashed into the tent. In an instant, the entire tent was engulfed in flames before erupting with a deafening explosion.
The shockwave released from the blast of [Great Dragon Homura Technique] spread violently in all directions like a sudden storm, not only consuming the main tent in flames but also sending nearby tents surrounding it flying into the air like fragile leaves swept away effortlessly.
Inside the tent, although some Jonin quickly used the Body Flicker technique to escape danger, those who were unable to flee suffered a devastating fate. The others inside were instantly swallowed by the roaring flames, including even a powerful Tokubetsu Jonin who could not survive.
Only the Jonin captain managed to narrowly avoid most of the flames thanks to his quick reflexes and combat skill. However, under the terrifying impact, he still suffered severe injuries. These wounds greatly weakened his combat effectiveness, making the upcoming battle extremely difficult for him.
What pained the Jonin most was the tragic deaths of several loyal subordinates who had followed him for years—skilled Chunin and Tokubetsu Jonin renowned for their tactical minds. At that moment, they had been holding an important meeting inside the tent, discussing countermeasures.
Shiyu Uchiha had deliberately chosen this moment to launch a surprise attack. This sudden disaster not only caused massive casualties but also completely disrupted their original plans and deployments.
Much to Shiyu Uchiha's regret, despite unleashing his full power, the Jonin still had just enough distance to react in time, avoiding death.
At this moment, he secretly mused to himself: If he could unleash three [Great Dragon Homura Techniques] at once and precisely target this tent, the Jonin would surely have no chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Shiyu clenched his jaw, making a silent vow: I'll refine this jutsu until it never misses and always kills.
Just then, the Elite Guard Unit led by Shiyu Uchiha also decisively took action. Taking advantage of the Iwa-nin patrol members' momentary shock from the sudden attack, they launched a ruthless offensive like a sudden storm. Some of the patrol members didn't even have time to react before they were sent straight to Hades.
As for the rest, though they narrowly escaped the first strikes, they were soon buried under the relentless onslaught from Uchiha Yamashiro and others — crushed wave after wave until not one was left standing.
Right after that, the Elite Guard Unit members who completed their mission didn't hesitate to dash directly toward Shiyu Uchiha's location, while Uchiha Yamashiro and others seized the opportunity created by Shiyu Uchiha and charged toward the Iwa-nin camp.
Almost at the same moment, the other Jonin and Tokubetsu Jonin among the Iwa-nin detected the sneak attack. Under the furious command of their squad leader, they abandoned their previous bait-and-switch tactics completely. Relying on their sharp Insight and Sensor Ability to perceive Ninjutsu fluctuations, an expert Jonin from the covert unit swiftly traced the path left behind by Shiyu Uchiha's previously used Ninjutsu. Without error, he located Shiyu Uchiha—who was waiting in place—and rushed toward him like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.
The Iwa-nin commander himself intended to reorganize his forces to deal with the anticipated ambush, since whoever launched this sneak attack had clearly already revealed themselves and could no longer conceal their presence from the Iwa-nin.
One reason for this decision was the squad leader's own arrogance—he believed his team possessed enough experts to handle the situation. He saw himself as a shark disguised as bait, confident that even if some highly skilled individuals went out to fight, the remaining members would still be more than sufficient. In contrast, letting someone like Shiyu Uchiha stay on the outside unchecked could lead to far graver consequences.
As the distance between the advancing Iwa-nin experts and Shiyu Uchiha gradually closed, these ninja wasted no words and immediately unleashed their signature Ninjutsu techniques, launching a fierce and relentless assault directly at Shiyu Uchiha. Their attacks collided head-on with Shiyu Uchiha's own jutsu.
Yet Shiyu Uchiha made the exact same choice—actually striking even faster. In an instant, the battlefield erupted with flames and dust swirling into the air as the intense battle commenced in full force.
Just as Shiyu Uchiha's guard unit came charging in like a tiger starved for prey, Shiyu Uchiha had already engaged in direct combat with several Iwa-nin who specialized in close-quarters fighting, facing off against nearly ten Jonin and Tokubetsu Jonin in a coordinated encirclement.
Yet not a single trace of fear showed in him—in fact, it stirred a deep sense of excitement within. To him, this was exactly what a true warrior of the Uchiha Clan should face.
Shiyu Uchiha's figure flickered like a ghostly shadow, effortlessly evading wave after wave of fierce assaults through his masterful and breathtaking Shifting Body Technique and swordsmanship. Then, he began launching ferocious counterattacks.
Had it not been for the supporting Iwa-nin following behind, providing support with their Ninjutsu coordination, blood would have already been drawn by Shiyu Uchiha's blade. Fortunately, Shiyu Uchiha was not alone either.
When his guards finally charged onto the battlefield like arrows released from bows, they quickly split into two teams according to their usual training formations. One group immediately formed Hand Seals and uttered a low shout before unleashing a powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu.
In an instant, torrents of scorching flames erupted from their hands, as if attempting to set the entire battlefield ablaze.
At the same time, the other group showed no signs of backing down either. They skillfully executed Wind Release Ninjutsu as well. Fierce gusts roared forth, crashing into the raging inferno. Together, they formed a devastating Composite Ninjutsu!
This composite ninjutsu unleashed a terrifying power beyond imagination. It surged forward like an unstoppable torrent, overwhelming the Iwa jonin who had not engaged Shiyu Uchiha in close combat.
Faced with such a powerful attack, the Iwa-nin supporting their teammates with ninjutsu could only retreat while desperately defending themselves, though they were still struggling to keep up.
At the same time, Shiyu Uchiha seized the moment. His tanto released over a dozen Flaming Blade Variations that crisscrossed through the air, striking down one Iwa jonin and throwing the remaining two into chaos. Then, he swiftly launched a devastating Fire Release ninjutsu at the trio of Iwa jonin.
The raging flames roared forth like a blazing serpent of flame, hurling the enemy into disarray as their once-coordinated formation began to unravel. They gradually came to fear the formidable power he wielded, growing increasingly cautious in their attacks.
