"Kill!"
The battle erupted at both ends, blood and body parts flying, leaving only carnage in its wake. Uchiha's second-stage ninjas formed their human wall again, hands flashing with chakra as they performed hand seals, summoning a coiling bolt of energy. From the ground, the lightning coalesced into a Lightning Serpent, roaring as it struck forward, slicing through the Hyuga ninjas and weaving across the battlefield with ruthless speed.
"Hyuga Ninja! Palm Storm formation, attack!"
Hyuga Tennin's voice rang out, and his forces immediately formed up. Hands charged with concentrated chakra shot forward like sharpened blades. The storm of energy collided with the Lightning Serpent, shattering it—but the Uchiha ninja pressed on, Kunai in hand, unhindered.
"Use Earth Style to shield the rest, then support the counterattack!"
The Uchiha commander barked orders, and enormous walls of earth erupted to absorb the brunt of the Palm Storm. Simultaneously, Uchiha ninjas leapt onto the walls, launching a torrent of jutsu:
Fire Style: Phoenix Flame Technique
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique
Fire Style: Ember Swarm
Earth Style: River of Stone
Wind Style: Gale Break
The Palm Storm was devastating, but the combined elemental assault shattered it. Uchiha forces roared, surging forward into the Hyuga lines.
"Ding!"
Clashing in the valley, both sides' shouts and roars shook the mountains. Red eyes gleamed, fists met palms, and the air vibrated with the lethal tension of two forces bent on slaughter.
"Hyuga coalition, charge the front!"
Hyuga Tennin led the frontal assault, fists pounding, voices roaring in unison, and throwing kunai into the sky. The rain of weapons descended like locusts, and the Uchiha frontlines faltered.
But even as chaos reigned, Raizen stood amidst the carnage, soaked in his own blood and that of his enemies. Chakra drained with each kill, yet his mind focused on one simple command: survive, and leave none standing.
"Rain of Blades!"
He spun into action, a cyclone of Kunai and chakra slicing through the battlefield, hurling enemies into the sky, blood spraying like paint against the rocky canyon walls. The shadow-level power of Hyuga Tennin revealed itself as Raizen's assault tore through dozens of ninjas in a single devastating motion.
