章 68: Chapter 68
"Their auras... they've changed."
"What a terrifying aura, could it be that they've already begun using forbidden powers?"
Atop the cliff, numerous Uchiha ninjas felt the sudden change in the aura below. The cold, destructive power made them feel somewhat suffocated.
They were all elites of the Uchiha clan, and they had also all participated in the clan meeting incident. Therefore, they responded at the first instant.
This was probably because either Kaito or Uchiha Fugaku had started to use the power of the Mangekyo!
"So, things have developed to this point after all." Uchiha Sō stood on the cliff, letting out a soft sigh.
"Don't worry, their fight is still restrained." Uchiha Takechi also spoke up, but quickly lowered his voice, "By the way, how has young Uchiha Itachi been doing lately? I heard he met Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"Shisui is watching him, and the secret sentinels have been changed. These are orders given by Kaito." Speaking of Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sō felt a bit of a headache, "Just focus on this fight that can determine the future of our clan. Itachi will be fine."
"Determining the future of the clan?" Uchiha Takechi laughed upon hearing these words. "The Uchiha Clan is already Kaito's. What future are you worried about?"
Uchiha Sō didn't respond to Uchiha Takechi's words. Indeed, the Uchiha Clan could be considered as belonging to Kaito.
But Kaito was still lacking something. The formal title of the clan leader!
"Already decided to use the power of the Mangekyo so soon?"
Kaito ceased his offense. His eyes were also showing the state of the Mangekyo. He calmly watched Uchiha Fugaku and slowly spoke.
"A contest with the three-tomoe Sharingan was enough. I've come to understand your limits and abilities, which is enough for me."
Uchiha Fugaku's expression was equally calm, but his chakra had already begun to surge wildly.
"Then naturally we need to proceed further. Besides, isn't the state of the three-tomoe Sharingan limiting our power?"
No sooner had the words fallen than Uchiha Fugaku, like a ghost, had already appeared in front of Kaito. His blade was thrusting swiftly towards Kaito!
"Clang!"
Kaito's reaction was extremely fast, raising his hand swiftly to block Fugaku's blade with his own ninja blade. He then pressed his sword forward aggressively, moving so close they were practically touching.
After the activation of the Mangekyo Sharingan, both Kaito and Uchiha Fugaku's speed, strength, and even their reactions visibly became stronger and more exaggerated.
Kaito felt this keenly. Although the pressure of the battle had increased, for some reason, he found the experience of the fight to be more comfortable.
The members of the clan who were watching the fight understood this even more.
They were watching the battle with their Sharingan activated. But they found that they could understand this kind of fight, their bodies could keep up, but they simply couldn't perform at the same level!
In such a mercury-like fight, Kaito had quietly begun to use the power of the 'Reverse Path'.
He could clearly feel that Uchiha Fugaku was indeed stronger than him in terms of basic abilities, but this was only natural.
Fugaku was older than Kaito, his physical conditioning and battle experience were something that Kaito, who was still in his growing period, couldn't compete with.
Especially regarding the Mangekyo's feedback, Fugaku had more time to receive this feedback than Kaito.
In such a situation, even if Kaito cherished his youthful power, he would start to use it reasonably.
He had to defeat Uchiha Fugaku; he didn't want to be suppressed by this guy!
The two figures, like phantoms, interweaved back and forth within the canyon, their combat restrained but extremely dangerous.
The ceaseless echoes of clashing metal were suffocating, amplifying the intensity of the battle.
However, at this moment, Uchiha Fugaku subtly distanced himself.
In his eyes, the complex and eerie Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly. The next moment his chakra surged madly and the hand seals in his grasp were quietly completed.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Accompanied by his robust chakra, an ocean of flames that resembled a tidal wave was instantly expelled by him.
Faced with such a massive blaze, Kaito dared not press on.
Though Fugaku's Fire Release could not compare with Uchiha Madara's, it effectively barricaded Kaito's path within this canyon.
"Is he trying to force me to use Susano'o?"
Kaito quickly deliberated in his mind. In fact, by employing large-scale Earth Release or Water Release, he could defend against the current technique.
But clearly, his grasp of Earth Release was inadequate, and he didn't even know Water Release. Uchiha Fugaku was likely privy to this information.
However, the abilities Kaito possessed were not limited to the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Using Susano'o indeed would be a good choice, but to employ it for just this level of attack would be too frivolous."
Kaito lightly swung the blade in his hand. Perhaps feeling the scorching aura, his body was already surrounded by a deep blue chakra.
The raging fire quickly spread towards him, and the next moment, Kaito's figure flickered slightly, the blaze engulfing the spot where he had just stood!
"Hm?"
Uchiha Fugaku furrowed his brows. He was uncertain of Kaito's current situation, but instinctively, he sensed a threat was looming.
Suddenly, he rapidly raised his head because he felt the brewing of a dreadful chakra above him.
Indeed, when he looked up, Kaito was already soaring in the sky!
"Flight technique?"
Uchiha Fugaku murmured to himself. However, he quickly had to form hand seals because Kaito had already made his move.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
The airborne Kaito didn't give Fugaku any time to contemplate. Like a falling stone, the flaming sphere rapidly approached, spreading into a sea of fire upon hitting the ground.
This sea of fire was larger in scope and stronger in power than Fugaku's formidable Great Fire Annihilation!
The terrifying flames seemed to set the entire canyon ablaze, under the envelopment of such horrifying flames, very few could withstand it.
Uchiha Fugaku was apparently one of those few, but his face was filled with wry smiles at this moment, as he didn't expect Kaito's ninjutsu to be dramatically different from what he'd witnessed before!
"Is it a inate technique? Does it enhance the power of the jutsu, or is it some other ability?"
Uchiha Fugaku pondered silently. However, he was aware that it was unrealistic for him to resist using ninjutsu alone at this point. Therefore, he made a decision.
The Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes rapidly spun, instantly enveloping his body in a layer of yellow chakra.
This yellow chakra spread wildly, forming a humanoid figure in just a moment!
Susano'o, evidently Uchiha Fugaku could also use Susano'o. After all, having had these eyes for so long, it's impossible that he hadn't studied them, even if he hadn't used them before.
Simultaneously, his hands rapidly formed seals. A giant wall of water sprang up from the ground with the surge of his chakra, staunchly blocking the spread of the sea of fire.
However, just then, he saw Kaito flying above him and rapidly descending, holding up the ninjato in his hand, with sharp Wind Release chakra swirling around it.
"Clan Head Fugaku, I will secure the position of clan head. I will be the cutting edge of the Uchiha!"
