Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

In the thick fog, blinding lightning rapidly spread along the damp ground, precisely striking the spot where Uchiha Shin was standing.

The counterattack begins.

"Kid..." Uchiha Shin snorted, his chakra erupting beneath his feet, and he leaped into the air, easily dodging the lightning strike from the ground.

While he was in the air, the second attack descended—Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique.

Dozens of blazing fireballs crashed down, like fluttering balsam seeds, sealing off any escape routes from every tricky angle.

"To show off one's limited skills before an expert."

Shin Uchiha easily adjusted his posture in mid-air, forming hand seals: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Seemingly to demonstrate that experience matters, this veteran Uchiha deliberately chose an attribute that is countered by Fire Release.

A fierce gust of wind was exhaled from its mouth, not only scattering most of the Phoenix Flame, but also amplifying the power of its own flames, and then followed up with another attack:

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet"

The wind fanned the flames, and three blazing white flames split off, like fire dragons that had gained sentience, devouring from different directions!

Faced with this combination of ninjutsu, Uchiha Shu, who had discerned the form transformation his opponent had incorporated, remained calm, his chakra surging within him.

—It is far more magnificent than it appears on the surface.

—At least five calories.

"I need to have a stunning performance to gain a voice in the tribe, but it can't be outrageous and affect the subsequent plans."

Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, he retreated rapidly.

The tricks may not be old, but they remain as solid as earth and as unyielding as ever.

"Boom!"

The clash of ninja techniques stirred up clouds of dust.

Before the smoke and dust filled the air, Uchiha Shu's figure disappeared, vanishing underground.

"He's not stupid. He didn't blindly fight me head-on. He knew to use ninjutsu to create tactical cover."

As Shin Uchiha landed, his three-tomoe Sharingan swirled, attempting to see through the smoke and dust and the ground beneath.

He could sense that Uchiha Shu's location was moving rapidly, but the specific trajectory was cleverly concealed.

Just then, a low shout came from within the smoke and dust:

"Lightning Release: Four Pillars Binding Technique!"

Shadow clone?

A ninjutsu that restricts movement; its power lies in binding and paralyzing.

Bang!

Shin Uchiha, located in the middle of the lightning pillar, turned into wood.

With a whoosh, several shuriken attached with explosive tags flew out of the mist, accurately targeting several areas that Uchiha Shin suspected.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The detonating tags exploded one after another, with flames and shockwaves echoing throughout the dueling arena.

This series of attacks and defenses occurred within just a dozen seconds.

Flames burst, lightning roared, water surged, earth and rocks crumbled, and smoke and water vapor mingled and filled the air.

This has already alarmed half of the Uchiha clan's territory!

The first to arrive were members of the Konoha Police Force. A Jonin and two Chunin from the Uchiha clan happened to be patrolling nearby, and they quickly jumped onto the high wall at the edge of the training ground.

Upon witnessing the intense battle unfolding on the field, everyone was taken aback.

"Is it... Elder Xin and Xiu?"

"Such an intense exchange, wow, the scale of this ninjutsu clash..."

"That kid Xiu actually managed to fight Elder Xin to this extent? Elder Xin is a great senior who is proficient in all five elements! He opened the Three-Tomoe stage twenty years ago!!"

Immediately afterwards, more figures swept in.

Inside the Uchiha clan compound, all the Jonin who heard the commotion rushed over. Clan leader Fugaku remained calm, his three-tomoe eyes slowly rotating as he carefully observed every detail of the scene.

With a flash of green light, Shisui's figure appeared beside Fugaku.

Two kaleidoscope owners have arrived!

Both of them kept it a secret from everyone; they possessed genuine Kage-level strength...

"Shisui, what do you think?" Fugaku asked in a deep voice.

Shisui's Sharingan was also activated. He looked down at him intently for a while, his tone filled with admiration and a hint of surprise:

"Xiu Jun... has made rapid progress."

"Pure physical burst damage, very strong."

Ignoring the audience, the ninjutsu battle in the arena turned into close-quarters combat.

clang!clang!clang!

Shin Uchiha brandished his kunai and clashed with the air.

If it weren't for the occasional sparks from collisions and the clanging of metal, those two-tomoe Uchiha would have thought the elder was performing gymnastics on his own.

Of course, to some extent, it's correct to feel that way!

The Sharingan greatly enhances perception and dynamic vision, allows for the replication of taijutsu and ninjutsu, makes close-quarters combat as graceful as gymnastics, enables flashy yet practical throwing techniques, significantly strengthens genjutsu, and even enhances one's appearance...

But I've been tricked!

Uchiha was furious. Several times, his three-tomoe swords narrowly missed the attack path, barely managing to avoid being kicked away by a Leaf Whirlwind.

The hushed conversations of the clan's Jonin occasionally reached my ears.

"Compared to Itachi... how does it compare? Itachi seems to have gone to participate in the final Anbu exam today, right?"

"Different styles. Itachi's genjutsu and shurikenjutsu are more refined, and his talent may be more amazing. Of course... his solid foundation in physical combat is impressive enough to overpower the elder in this close-quarters combat."

"Don't overpraise Itachi. At his age, Shu's body hasn't reached its peak yet. As he gets older, his physical abilities will improve further."

"It's less like Elder Xin came to guide him and more like they were exchanging ideas and verifying their skills."

"..."

After entering close combat, Elder Xin, who had switched from offense to defense, sighed inwardly and his evaluation of Uchiha Xiu rose even higher, no longer being arrogant.

Knowing that the purpose of this battle was to quickly master advanced ninjutsu, Uchiha Shu, after briefly gaining the upper hand, instantly retreated and returned to the artillery barrage phase.

"It seems ordinary ninjutsu combinations are no match for you. Well then, try this one!"

Elder Xin, feeling neither jealousy nor gratified, clasped his hands together, his chakra surging violently.

"Composite Ninja Technique: Earth Dragon Fire Style!"

As the ground rose to form an earthen dragon, scorching flames coiled around it. The combination of earth and fire created a powerful and terrifying combined attack.

"Can."

With his Sharingan operating at full power, he rapidly analyzed the chakra flow and structure of this technique.

synchronous.

"I'll give the combination of earth and fire a try."

Uchiha Shu's near-Mangekyou Sharingan-level eye power, along with the substantial foundation of Kage-level chakra within his body, gave him confidence.

The same Earth Dragon Flame Stream clashed fiercely.

"Boom—!!!"

An unprecedentedly violent explosion rang out in the training ground, with earth and fire intertwining and annihilating each other, and the resulting shockwave cracking the walls of the training hall.

"well!!"

Uchiha Shin's voice carried a hint of excitement, "Shu, your talent far exceeds my expectations."

Next, a series of fire-style techniques, such as Diligent Head Training, Extinguishing Flames, and Dragon Flame Song, were added to his personal skill set.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

……

Earth Release: Earth Flowing River

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet.

The means of dealing with the enemy have increased dramatically!

Among them, the one that amazed Uchiha Shu the most was the Super Light Heavy Rock Technique.

I wonder which Jonin from a certain clan managed to replicate it during a ninja war when fighting against a skilled ninja from Iwagakure in the Land of Earth!

It can significantly reduce the weight of matter, increase speed, and reduce its own weight, enabling free flight in the air.

Levitation is a very good ability.

"You're a monster, kid. I'm exhausted. I'm done fighting. I give up."

With his clothes tattered and his life force exhausted, Elder Xin surrendered like a bachelor. He had drained all the chakra in his body, and some of his ninjutsu were used simply for the sake of release, without any regard for power.

Even so, it still falls into depletion.

opposite.

Uchiha was completely at ease, with only a slightly dirty hem of his clothes, clearly indicating that he hadn't had enough fun and had enough chakra.

"If you want to learn anything else, go to the family's secret territory yourself. Don't you have any pity for this old man?"

In Elder Xin's eyes, not only various sealing techniques, but also Izanagi and Izanami are the forbidden techniques most worthy of being deeply cultivated by Jonin-level Uchiha.

One is a technique that rewrites reality to alter fate, and the other is a technique that determines destiny through cyclical illusions.

As for Wood Release?

There isn't one in the clan.

Wood Release is a fleeting bloodline limit, manifested only in Hashirama Senju and impossible to replicate. The Uchiha Secret Treasury only preserves a few volumes of related information, written by Madara himself.
