Fortunately, the overall battlefield situation was mostly under Shiyu Uchiha's control, steadily progressing according to his prearranged plan. Since everything was already under control, he naturally saw no reason to take unnecessary risks.
After all, taking risks usually meant extremely low chances of success, and were only chosen when absolutely necessary—a path filled with uncertainty. At this moment, Shiyu clearly had no need for that. Shiyu could simply defeat his enemies in a straightforward and decisive manner to claim victory.
As time passed, the intense battle gradually entered its most heated phase. The battlefield shifted rapidly, one unexpected development after another shaking the tide of battle.
The first to break the stalemate was Fugaku, driven by the hatred in his heart. If not for the sake of the greater plan, he would have charged recklessly long ago. Although during this time he hadn't managed to figure out how to combine Lightning Release with Dōkuriki, he had mastered the Mangekyou Dojutsu and its inherent abilities to an extraordinary degree.
Seizing an opportunity, he unleashed a mysterious Mangekyou Dojutsu technique, combining it with his own Lightning Release Ninjutsu to engage Sho of the Explosion Release in direct combat. Using the Mangekyou's instantaneous power, he released a fierce and powerful Lightning Release, successfully inflicting severe injuries upon Sho, the user of the Explosion Release.
Then, he activated Susanoo — the third hidden power within the Mangekyou — and immediately advanced to the second stage of Susanoo, swiftly beheading his opponent.
Immediately afterward, he coordinated swiftly with the Paramilitary Police Force, charging forward like a surging torrent toward Iwa-nin's Explosion Corps. After an intense and heart-stopping battle, they utterly crushed this Iwa-nin unit but chose not to press their advantage further.
Almost simultaneously, upon receiving a specific signal, Renga Uchiha immediately activated the Mangekyou Dojutsu — Kagutsuchi — left within his eye through the Transcriptive Seal by Shiyu Uchiha.
Shiyu Uchiha's Fire Release was already immensely powerful, but with the enhancement of this ocular technique, his already devastating Fire Release Ninjutsu became even more intense, raging like a burning inferno — fierce and relentless.
Such a powerful Fire Release was beyond Kitsuchi's ability to withstand. Under Shiyu's all-out offensive, in a climactic duel, he finally overwhelmed Kitsuchi with sheer power and masterful strategy, leaving him severely wounded.
Then, Shiyu seized the opportunity, launching a decisive attack and bravely pushing forward until successfully linking up with Fugaku and the others. Together, they united as an unstoppable force, piercing straight through Iwa's massive army from the front and delivering a heavy blow to the enemy.
Moreover, the other Konoha ninja also displayed tenacious fighting spirit and exceptional combat abilities. Among them, the Aburame clan skillfully utilized their clan's unique insect techniques, cleverly exploiting the characteristics of various poisonous insects to successfully break through the defenses of Iwa's Nagare clan, leaving their enemies struggling to respond.
Uniquely, Shiyu Uchiha summoned his own Summoned Beast — the Splitting Hound — and commanded them to assist the Inuzuka clan in battling Iwa's summoned beast units.
The Splitting Hounds moved with incredible agility and overwhelming offensive power. In perfect harmony with the Inuzuka clan, they unleashed a storm of blood and carnage across the battlefield, driving Iwa's summoning beast units into relentless retreat.
The crucial moment had arrived. Shinku Yuhi himself led an elite squad he had meticulously handpicked for this mission.
To ensure absolute success, Shiyu Uchiha even arranged to temporarily transfer a highly capable Jonin with a third tomoe from the Paramilitary Police Force. This Jonin not only possessed exceptional ninjutsu skills but also demonstrated sharp combat insight and decisive judgment.
Within this squad, besides the powerful third-tomoe Jonin, there was Shirakumo Hayao, another outstanding Jonin renowned for his incisive mind and lethal offensive techniques. He had saved his comrades from life-threatening situations multiple times, earning a reputation across the land.
These top-tier ninja fought in perfect coordination, trusting one another completely. Their combined strength had already surpassed the limits of standard Kage-class fighters. After a grueling battle, they successfully broke through layer after layer of defenses, rushing toward Wen Ya like a storm unleashed.
However, the enemy would not surrender so easily. Although Iwa-nin had made thorough preparations, their limited village resources prevented them from making a decisive impact. Konoha's shinobi systematically nullified their secret trump cards, one by one.
This included their much-anticipated summoning beast unit, which ultimately fell into chaos and disarray, collapsing into defeat when confronted with the Splitting Hounds' bizarre and unpredictable abilities.
Just as the battle grew increasingly intense, the two powerful Jinchuriki who had been locked in relentless combat against Shiyu Uchiha were still plotting to catch him off guard with a deadly surprise. Yet, sensing the sudden shift in the battlefield's momentum, they could no longer conceal their true strength.
Without hesitation, they activated their Perfect Tailed Beast transformations. In an instant, the entire battlefield was overwhelmed by a suffocating pressure as terrifying waves of chakra surged across the land.
Yet Shiyu Uchiha was no ordinary opponent. Facing such a formidable threat, he showed no fear. Determined to end this prolonged war as quickly as possible—and eager to test the combined power of his mysterious ocular techniques—he unleashed all the latent strength buried deep within his body with unwavering determination.
When Shiyu simultaneously activated both Mangekyou Dojutsu techniques—one in each eye—something incredible occurred. As he had anticipated, the two abilities merged under his control, creating a synergistic effect that exceeded even his expectations.
His already formidable Fire Release ninjutsu erupted like a powder keg struck by lightning, its power amplifying several times over. It was his first attempt, and still unrefined control caused some of the power to dissipate.
The flames produced by his Fire Release technique seemed to come alive, writhing and roaring with fury across the battlefield.
Furthermore, this immense power could seamlessly integrate with the [Mystic · Fire Release · Chakra Mode].
With these two forces intertwining and complementing each other, Shiyu Uchiha didn't just see a huge boost in his Fire Release Ninjutsu—his entire power had skyrocketed across the board.
Right now, Shiyu stood surrounded by blazing flames, like a hellish demon god risen from the underworld or a mythical fire deity descending into the human realm. But this transformation came at a cost—the internal strain was almost too much to bear.
