If Four-Tails and Five-Tails hadn't significantly improved or grown stronger during this period, Shiyu Uchiha felt confident he could quickly slay at least one of them within a short time frame.
Thinking of this, Shiyu Uchiha decided to temporarily put this matter aside and instead focus on re-mastering his Fire Release techniques. In a flash, his figure disappeared like a ghost and swiftly arrived at the training ground.
He formed hand seals with both hands and uttered a low incantation before instantly unleashing several basic Fire Release techniques passed down through his clan. Roaring flames erupted, scorching heat waves surging forth like a wildfire, threatening to engulf the entire training ground.
Although his Fire Release had improved significantly due to his physiological transformation, Shiyu Uchiha was far from satisfied. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and fell into deep contemplation.
After a short while, as if inspired, he began making subtle adjustments to each of these techniques before releasing them again.
He repeated this process several times, constantly testing and refining his techniques. When he finally unleashed them once more, their power was clearly stronger than before.
Thus, Shiyu Uchiha repeated this cycle over and over—constantly adjusting, experimenting, and refining—until finally, he revealed a faint, satisfied smile and slowly halted his movements.
At this moment, he resembled a war god who commanded the power of flame, radiating an overwhelming, suffocating aura.
[Fire Release Chakra Mode]
To push the boundaries of his strength, Shiyu Uchiha immediately displayed his unique ability—once known as Kujaku, but now more accurately described as Fire Release Chakra Mode.
This power had already surpassed the theoretical boundaries of Kujaku, no longer confined merely to a specific secret technique, but had transformed into a completely new ability that combined Yang Release, Fire Release, and Chakra Mode.
Externally, Fire Release Chakra Mode bore a striking resemblance to Lightning Release Chakra Mode. However, subtle differences did exist between them.
In terms of its effects on the user, this mode offered an enormous boost to both taijutsu and Fire Release combined ninja-taijutsu. Although compatible with various other Fire Release techniques, compared to the enhancement provided to taijutsu, the amplification of Fire Release Ninjutsu itself was slightly less pronounced.
To truly reach a level comparable to that of the legendary Third Raikage, Shiyu Uchiha knew he still had a long journey ahead of him.
He understood that only through gaining experience over time and continuous self-improvement could he fully unleash the potential of this Chakra Mode.
The key to achieving this goal lay in gradually enhancing his physical capabilities through the Chakra Mode. Only in this way could the effects of the mode be pushed to their absolute peak.
Meanwhile, as Konoha's military funds and supplies failed to arrive at the front line on schedule, Shiyu Uchiha—who had foreseen this situation—quickly took action.
To initiate the decisive battle as soon as possible, he swiftly mobilized a group of Jonin stationed at the frontline and convened an emergency meeting at the edge of the battlefield.
After discussing with everyone, they finally reached a consensus: to obtain sufficient war supplies under the pretense of borrowing from the Nekomata Clan. Of course, in reality, these expenses were personally covered in advance by Shiyu Uchiha and the Uchiha Clan.
Motivated by his inner desire, Fugaku Uchiha suddenly awakened a new dojutsu during multiple fierce battles against the Iwa-nin Explosion Corps and Sho. He keenly sensed traces the enemy had deliberately hidden—an exceptionally powerful sensing and tracking ability, akin to a Sensor's elite skills. Cleverly utilizing this skill, he successfully led his team to capture key members of the Iwa-nin Explosion Corps.
Seizing this opportunity, Shiyu Uchiha issued orders for a general offensive against the Iwa-nin. However, to the Iwa-nin's slight surprise, Fugaku Uchiha did not attempt to prevent them from requesting reinforcements from the Iwa headquarters.
In fact, Shiyu Uchiha had meticulously planned everything in advance. He deliberately played a long game to catch a big fish, aiming to lure the Iwa-nin forces away from their base through the importance of the Explosion Corps, thus initiating a decisive final confrontation.
Although Wen Ya of the Iwa-nin had been cautious about possible scenarios and had made thorough preparations accordingly, he never expected that the dojutsu awakened by Fugaku Uchiha would prove to be so mysterious and elusive.
This eerie power enabled Fugaku Uchiha to accurately pinpoint the Explosion Corps' movements, even completely sealing off their retreat routes.
Faced with such a predicament, the Iwa-nin had no choice but to quickly dispatch large reinforcements to support the Explosion Corps. They understood well that losing this elite force and its leader Sho of the Explosion Release, whose strength reached Kage-level, would bring extremely unfavorable consequences to the overall battlefield situation.
At the same time, another factor that determined Wen Ya's decision to commit full rescue efforts was the remarkable progress shown by the jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails—Roshi and Han.
They now had gained complete recognition from their Tailed Beasts, allowing them not only to unleash the Perfect Form of Tailed Beast transformation but also to resist genjutsu with the Tailed Beasts' assistance. Having once fought against Shiyu Uchiha before, they were now filled with eagerness, anxiously anticipating another opportunity to challenge this powerful enemy head-on, confident even if it might be a trap.
You must realize, this was truly a brazen but brilliant scheme! Precisely because of this, Shiyu Uchiha never attempted to conceal his movements at all. Thus, he boldly and openly appeared on the smoke-filled battlefield like a dazzling meteor.
Amid their fierce combat, Roshi and Han immediately sensed Shiyu Uchiha's eye-catching presence. Sharing a knowing glance, they both sped toward him in unison.
Facing the fierce assault from the two adversaries, Shiyu Uchiha showed no fear at all. Instantly, he activated [Mystic · Fire Release · Chakra Mode]. Powerful chakra surged around his body like roaring flames, with a special illusory quality.
In this state, the power of Shiyu Uchiha's Fire Release Ninjutsu was greatly amplified. The raging flames seemed capable of devouring everything in their path.
Meanwhile, he skillfully wielded the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the unpredictable Phantom Shifting Body Technique, engaging in an intense battle against Roshi and Han.
However, despite the current advantage leaning toward Shiyu Uchiha, he remained on high alert.
Especially when recalling their previous encounter with these two, the unsettling display they put on at the end, combined with the fact that both were fully compatible Jinchuriki in the original work, Shiyu couldn't help but feel a sense of alertness deep down. He stayed on edge, constantly watching for any sign they might unleash their ultimate move—the Tailed Beast transformation—or any other hidden techniques.
