Generally speaking, members of the Uchiha clan invariably possessed a Fire Release affinity, and often had one or more additional chakra natures.
For example, Uchiha Sasuke possessed both Lightning Release and Fire Release chakra nature transformations.
As a rule, only after reaching jōnin level would a shinobi deliberately train three or more chakra natures, so they could respond to any unexpected situation.
Uchiha Han was only a chūnin, so it was likely his chakra nature transformations consisted of Earth Release and Fire Release.
"Your Earth Release Body Flicker isn't bad… but do you really think hiding underground will save you?!"
Seeing that Uchiha Han still hadn't reappeared, Yuya immediately understood the situation.
On one hand, Uchiha Han had clearly suffered significant injuries from the previous exchange.
On the other hand, he was planning to launch a sneak attack from underground.
With that thought, a trace of mockery appeared on Yuya's face. He looked down at the ground beneath his feet, suddenly reached out with both hands—and tore downward with brutal force.
"Vibration Release: Earth-Shaking Technique!"
BOOM—!!!
In an instant, a terrifying seismic force erupted outward.
The ground beneath Yuya's feet transformed as if it were liquid, rolling like waves as violent tremors thundered through the battlefield.
The earth seemed to turn into a raging sea. The shockwaves spread far beyond the dueling ground, rippling through the surrounding area—so much so that even Tsunade and Uchiha Kageyama, who were still locked in fierce combat elsewhere, felt it clearly.
"This level of震动… Earth Release?! Damn it!"
Gritting her teeth, Tsunade smashed apart one of Uchiha Kageyama's Fire Release techniques with a single punch, anxiety flashing in her eyes.
Yuya didn't seem capable of using conventional ninjutsu—so this had to be Uchiha Han's doing.
With such a massive disturbance, the fight must have reached its final stage.
Uchiha Kageyama merely cast a calm glance over his shoulder.
"So slow. It's taken this long, and he's already resorted to Earth Release ninjutsu."
A hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes. He knew Uchiha Han's chakra natures well—Earth and Fire.
In his view, once Uchiha Han activated the Sharingan, he should have been able to instantly kill that brat Yuya. Yet now he had been forced to use Earth Release.
Still… it should be ending soon.
Shaking his head, Uchiha Kageyama continued blocking Tsunade's path. No matter how furiously she charged, he refused to yield even an inch.
At the Life-and-Death Dueling Ground
Several Uchiha clan members, along with the three ANBU, all wore expressions of shock.
The earthquake itself posed no threat to them—they could easily keep their footing.
What truly terrified them was the fact that Yuya's vibration force was so overwhelming that it propagated through the earth itself, producing such a devastating quake.
This move was far more powerful than a standard C-rank Earth Release: Earth-Flow Technique.
As the ground convulsed violently, spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from beneath Yuya's feet, racing in every direction.
Underground, Uchiha Han's Sharingan, filled with killing intent, suddenly widened in alarm.
In the next instant, soil and rock surged in from all sides, compressed by the terrifying vibrations.
Already injured from Yuya's earlier strike, he took this attack head-on—
—and was completely crushed.
Crack! Crack!
Several ribs in his chest snapped at once!
Struggling desperately, he forced the earth apart and burst back to the surface—but his entire body was already drenched in blood.
Pfft!
The moment he emerged, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed violently, nearly collapsing.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and terror.
Even underground… wasn't safe?!
There was no escaping that vibration force!
He—he had actually been driven to this state by a brat like Yuya!
What he had thought would be an effortless victory had, from the very beginning, placed him at a disadvantage.
Now, he was gravely wounded—barely able to keep fighting.
On the corridor above, the Uchiha observers and the ANBU alike sucked in cold breaths.
Could Yuya… actually win this fight?!
It was inconceivable!
Uchiha Han was an elite chūnin, a shinobi who had survived numerous bloody battles—
—yet in front of Yuya, he had been nearly overwhelmed, reduced to this pitiful, severely injured state.
"Damn it… If I'd known it would come to this, I should've used my killing move from the start… but it's not too late!"
Clenching his teeth, Uchiha Han endured the agony ripping through his body. His chakra could still be forced together.
Barely standing, he formed hand seals as Yuya charged toward him.
"Earth Release: Earth Encircling Corridor!"
Boom!!
The ground roared—this time, a true Earth Release ninjutsu.
Just as Yuya was about to reach him, the earth surged upward, forcing Yuya to halt for an instant.
That single moment was enough.
Rock layers solidified rapidly, enclosing Yuya completely.
Madness and killing intent flared in Uchiha Han's eyes as he formed seals once more.
"Die, you little brat!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
BOOM!!
A B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu roared forth, surging directly into the Earth Encircling Corridor.
Trapped inside, Yuya had nowhere to dodge.
Having done all he could, Uchiha Han finally reached his limit. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to one knee, barely lifting his head.
He wanted to see it.
To see Yuya burned to ashes.
On the corridor, the Uchiha clan members—previously panicked by Han's disadvantage—finally let out sighs of relief.
Their hearts settled.
First, Earth Release to restrain Yuya and negate his speed.
Then, a B-rank Fire Release to finish him.
The outcome was decided.
Nearby, the three ANBU watched with deep regret.
"What a waste…"
"He was so close to winning."
"He's still too inexperienced. Against Earth Release, you either destroy it instantly—or retreat from its range at once."
They sighed softly.
Then—
Their expressions froze.
Across from them, the Uchiha clan members went equally rigid.
And in the battlefield itself, Uchiha Han stood completely stunned.
BOOOOOOM—!!!
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens.
The Earth Encircling Corridor imprisoning Yuya detonated violently, shattered by an overwhelming force!
The B-rank Fire Dragon Flame Bullet froze in midair.
Before it stretched a vast region of fractured air,裂纹 tearing through space itself.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had seized the fire dragon by the throat.
Despite its blazing heat and overwhelming momentum—
—it could not advance even a single inch.
That inch was an insurmountable chasm.
This was Yuya's full-power punch.
When unleashed without restraint, his vibration force could shatter even a B-rank ninjutsu!
In the next instant, before countless stunned, disbelieving eyes—
—the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet and the shattered Earth Corridor collapsed together, annihilated completely!
Yuya stood there, completely unharmed.
Not even the corner of his clothing was scorched.
He remained frozen in the posture of a single punch.
The entire battlefield fell into absolute silence.
