The blue Susanoo giant towered above the battlefield. At this moment, Zebra was forcing himself into the fourth stage of Susanoo!
Blood streamed from his eyes, but Zebra didn't care about the cost of his Mangekyō Sharingan. Blindness? Death? None of it mattered. Today, he would defeat the Senju Men and push back the enemy.
He, Uchiha Zebra, would make up for the mistakes he once made!
The Senju Men watched Zebra's chaotic chakra and the mad resolve on his face. A pang of guilt twisted in his chest.
"I'm sorry, Zebra. But I must win this time… even if you're my opponent."
He began to channel his chakra in response.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
New branches burst from the Wood Golem's shoulders, twining together until they formed a massive dragon coiled atop its back.
The two giants charged each other.
Meanwhile, Hikaru—casually frying fish amid the chaos—glanced toward the four monstrous titans clashing nearby. He couldn't help but recall something the reanimated Madara once told Hashirama:
"Hashirama… the shinobi of this era are far weaker than those from our time."
Hikaru agreed. Whether it was common ninja or the strongest elite, the difference in power was stark.
At the same time, Hikaru felt a surge of chakra behind him—one even stronger than clan leader.
A ragged girl in torn grey clothing, with wild black hair, rushed toward the battlefield. A Mangekyō Sharingan glowed in her eye socket—its strange pattern like three boomerangs with a black core. Her limbs were stained with dried blood and dirt, her face hidden beneath her messy hair.
But the distinct chakra pouring from her told Hikaru everything—this was the Uchiha clan's weapon, the girl forged in battle.
Elsewhere, Zhili awakened her own Mangekyō Sharingan, summoning the second stage of Susanoo behind her father to join the battle.
But he barked at her without turning.
"Don't interfere! Head to the other battlefield and deal with the fodder. The second stage Susanoo won't help me now."
He turned his red Susanoo and formed a Magatama, hurling it at the Senju San.
"You're finished, Senju scum!"
The Senju San wanted to dodge, but saw his comrades behind him. If he avoided it, they'd be wiped out.
He channeled chakra into the stone giant's fist.
"Earth Style: Super Hardening Technique!"
With perfect timing, he launched an uppercut, attempting to deflect the massive Magatama.
But he had anticipated this. His lips curled into a vicious grin.
"Amaterasu!"
Black flames burst onto the Senju San chest, spreading violently.
"Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't dodge! My Amaterasu will kill you for sure!"
His right eye dulled. His Susanoo fell to its second stage, armor vanishing.
The black flames chewed through the Senju San chest. He didn't even have time to amputate the burning part.
Still, he stood firm. His gaze sharpened.
All of his chakra exploded outward—fueling the black flames with his own life force.
He slashed his body with a blade, blood drenched in Amaterasu's fire spilling across his stone titan.
And then—he charged.
"If I have no hope of living, I'll make this my final contribution!"
"Even if I can't destroy the Uchiha… I'll cripple them!"
He, watching him charge, felt his power wane. No more eye power. Barely any chakra.
But he couldn't let him pass. Behind him stood the Uchiha clan's future—they couldn't fall to Amaterasu's flames.
With his last reserves, He summoned third-stage Susanoo, armor snapping back into place.
"You're not stepping past me, Senju scum!"
"If you want to die… I'll go with you!"
BOOM!
The half-bodied Susanoo collided with the stone giant engulfed in black flames.
They vanished in the fire.
Zhili watched helplessly as her father was consumed. Tears of blood dripped down her cheeks.
Nearby, the weapon girl was suddenly surrounded—red-armored shinobi with Senju symbols on their heads.
A masked man at the front barked commands, forming seals. The others followed instantly.
"She finally showed herself. Time to act!"
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
"Four Symbols Seal!"
"Five Elements Seal!"
Golden chains erupted from the leader's stomach, wrapping tightly around the girl's limbs and neck. Dozens of sealing tags slammed into her body.
Before she could activate her Sword technique, she was frozen in place, immobilized by layered sealing jutsu.
Clan leader, watching from afar, let out a pained laugh.
"So that's it. I knew the Senju wouldn't go without the Uzumaki. They weren't missing—they were just waiting… to seal our secret weapon."
As his body turned to ash, the black flames devoured him and the Senju warrior together.
The masked sealing leader finally removed his hood, revealing an aged face.
"I am the Uzumaki Patriarch. The Senju needed our help. As allies, we answered."
"If anyone's to blame, it's the Uchiha… for shattering the balance."
Uzumaki leader, watching his best friend perish, stood in silence. He had long prepared for death, but grief still tore through him.
From that grief was born the Fire Sealing Jutsu—an answer to the pain of helplessness. Not long after creating it, the old man passed away, soul returning to the Pure Land.
Hikaru turned toward the sealed girl.
Both clan leaders had perished. The Uzumaki had spent a great deal of chakra. The only major players left were Indra and Ashura's reincarnations, now locked in a death match.
"After all this frying… guess it's finally time for me to move."
