Then, he swung his long blade forward and, for the first time before any Iwa-nin, unleashed the Seven Killings Sword Technique—a move that would soon strike fear into every Iwa-nin's heart. In an instant, a red light flashed. Accompanying the swing of the long blade, seven roaring, blazing Flaming Blades shot toward that jonin like wildfire.
These seven Flaming Blades not only successfully blocked the path of his two teammates who rushed to rescue him but also smashed with thunderous might against the hastily erected defense of the tokubetsu jonin.
With a loud "bang," the once rock-solid defense crumbled into dust. The tokubetsu jonin himself was cut down without even a chance to fight back, instantly sent to join the dead in Yomi's realm.
The other two Iwa ninja who witnessed this bloody scene were instantly paralyzed with fear. From this move of Shiyu Uchiha, they realized he had hidden his true strength earlier—yet still managed to fight them evenly.
Now, with one fewer member on their side, how could they possibly stand a chance? At this moment, neither gave a second thought to anything else. Their only thought was to escape!
Thus, they exerted every ounce of energy, desperately retreating backward, hoping only to reunite quickly with the rest of their comrades—perhaps the only way they could feel slightly safe.
However, how could Shiyu Uchiha possibly let them off easily? Seeing the enemy attempting to flee, he immediately unleashed his unique secret technique—the Phantom Shifting Body Technique.
Since it was pursuit, the phantom effects weren't very effective. Therefore, Shiyu Uchiha didn't use the phantoms, instead boosting his speed to the maximum before chasing after one of them. He used Fire Release Ninjutsu to interfere, blocking the opponent's path forward. Within a few swift strikes, he beheaded him on the spot. As for the other escaping ninja, he successfully regrouped with the other Iwa ninja.
Then Shiyu Uchiha charged into the group of elite Iwa-nin who were entangled with his shadow guards. He activated the Phantom Clones of the Phantom Shifting Body Technique. Suddenly, four identical figures materialized out of thin air, each appearing as real as the original, making it extremely difficult to distinguish the true form.
Just as everyone stood stunned, the five figures launched into a deadly massacre with perfect coordination. With the clever cooperation of the four phantoms, Shiyu Uchiha moved like a god of death incarnate—blade flashing, blood spraying, and screams echoing nonstop.
In merely one or two minutes, those Iwa ninja experts who had been arrogant and domineering just moments ago were already more than half slain or wounded. The remaining three survivors, realizing their cause was lost, knew they stood no chance against Shiyu Uchiha. Without hesitation, they turned tail and fled in panic again, desperate to escape this dreadful battlefield.
Facing the enemies' escape attempt once more, Shiyu Uchiha led the charge at the forefront. His subordinates also showed no slack, closely following behind. Moving swiftly like the wind, they quickly caught up with their prey and successfully intercepted two of the slower escapees.
However, the remaining enemy, seeing the situation turn dire, was filled with fear, terrified of being hunted down mercilessly by Shiyu Uchiha. So he decisively changed his escape route and dashed in another direction, effectively abandoning the main force.
At this moment, Shiyu Uchiha only wanted to end this battle as soon as possible, paying no attention to the fleeing enemy. He had a clear objective: to head straight for the Iwa-nin base camp.
Though the Iwa-nin had suffered heavy losses and severe damage, they originally had a large number, so nearly half still remained. Moreover, as the situation worsened, their defensive lines had begun to gradually collapse, teetering on the brink of disintegration. They might collapse completely in just a few more moments.
Just then, Shiyu Uchiha appeared on the battlefield like a bolt of lightning. Without hesitation, he led his Elite Guard Unit straight into scattered Iwa-nin clusters. His blade shimmered coldly in his hand as he once again unleashed a bloody storm of slaughter.
How could those Chunin (Jonin-level) and Genin possibly stand against this Kage-level swordsman? Especially one charging recklessly forward without concern for reputation or dignity! He was cutting them down one by one like blades of grass, and within moments, Shiyu Uchiha carved through two small units, slaying over a dozen enemies in a blink.
Shiyu Uchiha, now in a killing frenzy, didn't stop moving. His gaze sharp as a hawk's, he quickly locked onto a much larger Iwa-nin group. Leading them was the very ninja whom Shiyu had previously ambushed in a surprise attack.
This ninja was no pushover. He held a high status and was the commander of this full Iwa-nin Tactical Squad, precisely why he could gather so many Iwa-nin under his command.
At this moment, Shiyu Uchiha's gaze sharpened. With smooth, fluid motions, he slowly sheathed his razor-sharp longsword. Then, taking a deep breath, he rapidly formed hand seals with both hands. In an instant, powerful chakra surged from his body, as if transforming into a massive cannon barrel.
With a series of complex, precise hand seals, several devastating Fire Release Ninjutsu were unleashed in succession. Roaring flames surged forth like furious dragons, bringing scorching heat and the might of destruction straight toward the Iwa-nin.
Meanwhile, other ninja from the Uchiha clan also displayed their signature techniques, coordinating with Shiyu Uchiha's assault. In an instant, flames leapt into the sky as deafening cries of battle filled the air.
Under this fierce onslaught, the Iwa-nin were immediately thrown into chaos, suffering heavy casualties while their formation became increasingly disordered. Yet, Shiyu Uchiha gave them not a moment's respite.
Using the insight provided by his Sharingan, he seized the perfect moment. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword as he darted forward like a ghost toward the Iwa-nin commander.
While charging forward, his left hand nimbly formed seals mid-motion. A relatively weaker—but still formidable—Great Dragon Fire Technique was suddenly released. The flames took the form of a snarling dragon's head, howling toward the enemy and forging a path forward while effectively concealing his figure.
As Shiyu Uchiha came charging forward with relentless fury, the Iwa-nin commander fought back fiercely but ultimately could not withstand this formidable warrior of the Uchiha clan. With a sharp clang of steel meeting steel and a sudden spray of blood, Shiyu slashed down and cleanly cut the Iwa-nin commander down.
Once the Iwa-nin commander fell, although some glared angrily at Shiyu Uchiha and charged toward him in a last desperate attempt to bring him down with them, most were utterly demoralized and turned to flee.
