At that moment, Uchiha Yato directly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Immediately, the skeletal frame of Susanoo materialized around him.
That's right—Uchiha Yato began playing dirty, using his half-humanoid Susanoo to play ball.
In that case, he wouldn't need to dodge those annoying little balls and could even play in an utterly shameless way.
How perfect!
This move, however, elicited different reactions from the players on the court and the surrounding spectators.
The other Uchiha ninja on the field was practically starry-eyed.
This was the divine power of their clan—majestic, mighty, and undeniably cool.
Hizashi, on the other hand, kept his distance. After all, if luck wasn't on his side, a single slap from the Susanoo could come crashing down, and that was no small-ball attack.
Sasori, too, watched Uchiha Yato's assault with gleaming eyes.
It wasn't just a thirst for power—he also longed to create a puppet of his own that could be controlled the same way.
This line of thinking stemmed entirely from the Gundam-inspired concepts and the expanded applications of Puppet Technique that Uchiha Yato had drilled into him.
Rasa didn't say much, merely using his sand and gold dust to shield the three of them as much as possible to avoid collateral damage.
The one with the strongest reaction, however, was Pakura on the court.
She outright shouted in the middle of the match, "How is such a cheap move allowed? He's cheating! I demand he be disqualified!"
Tom Cat responded, "Request denied. Since both sides are using Bloodline Limits, why can't he if you can? The match continues!"
Tom Cat wasn't playing favorites—after all, no one had objected when Pakura used her Scorch Release earlier.
This beach volleyball match had no restrictions on techniques.
And so, the game continued, with Uchiha Yato having his Susanoo smack the volleyball.
Of course, he had to control his strength—if he wasn't careful, he might shatter the ball outright, which would earn him a yellow card warning.
Admittedly, the scene was rather comical.
As Uchiha Yato manipulated the Susanoo to hit the ball, another brilliant idea popped into his head.
He asked the system,
"Can I take a screenshot right now? This kind of scene is pretty rare, don't you think?"
The system pondered for a moment, agreed, and adjusted itself to capture the most heroic angle before snapping the shot.
The resulting image was downright hilarious.
In the picture, a massive Susanoo stood opposite three players, surrounded by a crowd of cheering spectators.
At the center of it all was a single beach volleyball—simultaneously majestic, absurd, and utterly ridiculous.
Uchiha Yato also asked Tom Cat to play some music, or else the game would feel dull.
Tom Cat, ever the troublemaker, obliged by summoning a soundtrack to enhance the atmosphere.
This time, the chosen track was an intense, stirring piece—
"Victory."
Designed to ignite the battlefield with adrenaline and excitement!
As the BGM blared around them, everyone knew it was Uchiha Yato's doing. But combined with the current scene, the music made their blood boil with exhilaration.
What was supposed to be a simple beach volleyball match had devolved into a full-blown spectacle.
First, there was the main attacker, Uchiha Yato, using his Susanoo to both strike the ball and defend himself while occasionally shielding his teammates.
Beside him, the other Uchiha ninja employed smaller attacks and shuriken to block incoming balls and the occasional sneak-attacking puppets.That's right, Sasori also started playing some underhanded tricks.
As mentioned before, there was never any rule against using techniques to attack.
Eventually, it evolved to the point where both sides could spar while playing the game.
By the time things got heated, Uchiha Yato even pulled off a few flashy moves.
First, he unleashed a "Fire Release: Wildfire of the Plains."
Of course, this fire jutsu wasn't aimed at the crowd but at the sky instead.
A sea of flames slowly descended, creating a stunning visual spectacle.
Then, he combined Water Release and Wind Release to wrap around the volleyball, protecting it.
This dazzling mix of ninjutsu attacks and gameplay left the surrounding spectators utterly mesmerized.
But the result of all this was that Pakura grew even more impatient.
She had been just one step away from defeating Uchiha Yato, but now the intensity kept escalating.
So, she summoned more miniature suns around herself and launched another assault.
Sasori, meanwhile, continued using puppets for defense and interference—after all, he didn't want to escalate things too much. It was just a game, in the end.
Rasa shared the same sentiment. Judging by Uchiha Yato's current strength, it was clear he was still holding back and treating this as mere entertainment. So, Rasa didn't feel the need to be overly competitive either.
In the end, the only one taking things seriously—and playing aggressively—was Pakura.
But you couldn't really blame her. The music this time was incredibly hype!
Getting swept up in the excitement was only natural.
Of course, progress wasn't limited to just them—Hyuga Hizashi had also improved.
After watching Pakura and Hyuga Hiashi's match before, the Hyuga clan had conducted their own research.
This time, they were ready to showcase their long-developed countermeasures.
Facing the incoming Scorch Release fireballs, Hizashi immediately countered with the Rotation.
To prevent burns, the Hyuga clan had even reinforced their hands with a protective layer of chakra.
And with this first experimental application, combined with Hizashi's mastery of the Eight Trigrams style, he successfully intercepted Pakura's fireballs.
Seeing this perfected Rotation, Uchiha Yato couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
After all, this was the Hyuga clan's so-called "Absolute Defense."
Truly, the battle was becoming more and more spectacular.
But continuing like this wasn't sustainable, so Uchiha Yato decided to end things with one final move.
"Water Release: Surging Dragon."
That's right—our Uchiha Yato was about to pull off another trick.
Dispelling the previous jutsu around the volleyball, he now summoned nine water dragons to charge forward, carrying the ball with them.
These nine water dragons coordinated with each other—
Three protected the volleyball, three shielded the team, and the remaining three attacked the opposing trio.
This spectacle left Pakura momentarily flustered.
After all, she had already expended a considerable amount of chakra.
Not everyone had an infinite chakra battery like Uchiha Yato.
Most shinobi relied on ninja tools and limited jutsu for combat.
The intensity of the match even began to unsettle Chiyo, who had been watching from the sidelines.
All three participants were the future of Sunagakure—she couldn't afford to let any of them get seriously injured.
But before Chiyo could act, the Third Kazekage moved first.Under no circumstances was Uchiha Yato allowed to kill their village's future, whether intentionally or accidentally.
The Third Kazekage immediately summoned iron sand to intercept the three water dragons.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Uchiha Yato realized his actions had caused misunderstanding.
So he decisively chose to deepen that misunderstanding!
All water dragons converged skyward, scattering the Third Kazekage's iron sand defenses.
The sheer scale of this display was truly terrifying.
After all, not everyone possessed Madara Uchiha's unflappable composure.
Many spectators already showed signs of fear.
Below, the Third Kazekage began questioning Uchiha Yato:
"Uchiha Yato! What are you doing? Are you trying to sabotage this exchange event?"
"If you dare proceed, our Sand Village will become sworn enemies with your Hidden Leaf!"
Standing high above, Yato looked down at the crowd and responded to the Kazekage's words with a smile:
"Guess~"
