A deadly sword that simultaneously slices through the opposing opponents from three approaching blades, aiming straight for their heads. Strictly speaking, this is neither a Noble Phantasm nor a phenomenon that borrows the power of magic. It was originally a technique developed to cut down a flying swallow in mid-air.
A flash from the real world, followed by two simultaneous flashes that disregard the concepts of time and space, resulting in a three-directional slash. That is a "multidimensional zigzag phenomenon (Kischur Zelretch)" that transcends elements such as speed, dexterity, and feints. Though limited, it reaches the high realm of "second magic."

Secret Sword - Swallow Return - Twin Wings Style
The Secret Sword of the Two-Sword Style is a top-secret sword technique created by combining the strengths of the "Niten Ichi-ryu" and "Gan-ryu" styles. It uses two swords to unleash six slashes simultaneously.
Chapter 30: The Prelude to the Popularization of Magic and the Journey to the Land of Wind
Uchiha Iori pondered as he made his way to the combat tent.
[Has the Iwagakure ninja made another move? Is the war at Kannabi Bridge about to break out? Should I get involved?]
As Iori pondered, a smile suddenly crept onto her lips: [Thinking of Uchiha Madara, I'm actually a little excited. How much power does the legendary Battlefield Rose have left?]
[This is truly exhilarating—a meeting and battle with a legend of the ninja world!]
"Iori-kun, you've arrived." Jiraiya was busy in the tent, looking exhausted, and the bad news he had just received made him look even more haggard.
"News has come from the village that the battlefront in the Land of Wind has suffered heavy losses. Orochimaru is seriously injured, and Tsunade has also lost her fighting ability. We need to send strong fighters to support both our side and the battlefront in the Land of Water."
Jiraiya paced slowly around the table, his plans in jeopardy due to the sudden withdrawal of military forces.
"The village hopes you will lead a team to the battlefield in the Land of Wind to deal with the threat of the One-Tailed Beast. Set off as soon as possible. What I mean is, I want you to go there alone."
Uchiha Iori frowned and said hesitantly, "Am I the only one here?"
Jiraiya sat down, sighed, tapped the table, and said, "You know, we only gained a partial advantage after you killed the Jinchuriki."
"After you leave the front line, we will be at a disadvantage again. If we draw on any more Jonin, there will definitely be gaps in our defenses."
"The main problem on the Land of Wind front is that Orochimaru and Tsunade have lost their fighting power, and what needs to be filled is the gap in top-tier combat strength."
"You're the only one we can send from here."
“Okay, I understand. I’ll get ready to go now.” Iori nodded and turned to leave.
"I'm entrusting Orochimaru and Tsunade to you," Jiraiya said earnestly, stopping Iori.
If it weren't for the fact that the front lines absolutely needed him, he would have preferred to go and provide support himself, but now he could only entrust his friend to Iori.
"Don't worry about me." Iori gave me a thumbs up, revealing a look of utter disbelief.
After leaving the tent, Iori went to say goodbye to some acquaintances and gave them some life-saving items.
Iori sealed all the magic tricks she had just learned into amulets and gave them away in a big way.
Nobuhiko Tsukiko, Kaori Uzuki, Takumi Kurama, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake, Shimi Aburame, Kosuke Maruboshi, and many more—everyone has one.
The magic charm is a product of magic chakra that Iori and Medea researched together.
Using sealing techniques, the basic principles of magic are imprinted as tattoos or talismans, and can be activated using chakra.
He projected Miyamoto Iori's twin swords and gave them to Uzuki Kaori, instructing her to trigger the sensing runes on them if she encountered any life-threatening danger.
Once Iori senses it, it will be triggered, containing a one-time sword technique, Secret Sword: Swallow Return: Twin Wings Style.
After providing some security for her friends, Iori quickly left the front lines.
They traveled from the Land of Grass to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.
-----------------
夜晚
After setting up defensive measures, Uchiha Iori lay down to sleep, and the Hall of Heroes was activated.
As usual, in the brightly lit Valhalla, people mingled and enjoyed their afterlife.
After the event ended, Shirou Emiya called out to Iori.
"Interested in going on a business trip?" Emiya Shirou grabbed Iori's shoulder, his tone revealing a hint of urgency.
"You are now qualified to have your name engraved on the Throne of Heroes. Would you like to reserve a spot?"
"As long as you are alive, the records can be continuously updated, just like Artoria."
"Why the rush? Shouldn't I be eligible only after the Alaya-vijnana of our world is born?"
Iori frowned and asked in confusion. Although he had gained some fame, it was still insignificant compared to the people in Valhalla.
"I have a request for you. I cannot travel to that world line, as it would lead to a future convergence."
"Iori," Shirou Emiya pleaded, his head bowed, his voice low, as he gripped Iori's shoulders tightly.
"Only the living can go with their memories, and only heroic spirits can be summoned as Servants. I can only ask you for help now."
Uchiha Iori had never seen Emiya Shirou show such an expression before.
It's as if there's a chance to redeem oneself for the mistakes one made in the past, even if it's just a dream.
"Please tell me what happened first, I need to confirm the situation before I can give you an answer."
Although they were friends, Iori didn't readily agree and instead wanted to get specific information.
“Having seen my memories, you should know Matou Sakura, right?” Emiya Shirou released Iori, sat down on the ground, and looked at me with a complicated expression.
"Of course I know. What's wrong? Is that timeline about her?"
Iori certainly knew that purple-haired girl, one of the most unforgettable characters in the Fate series.
"That timeline is at the end of 1993, but unlike the official timeline, Sakura was just sent to the Matou family."
Emiya Shirou said somewhat emotionally that even if it wasn't his world, he still hoped his friend could find redemption.
"She has the potential to obtain Command Seals, and with Kariya Matou not having returned, Berserker has not yet been summoned."
"I understand. Having the relevant memories and resistance to mental debuffs makes me the best choice."
Iori also sat down; the Sharingan's enhancement of his spirit made him fearless of the Mad Curse.
"Then what? I'm just going to fight in the Holy Grail War and I'll be back in seven days. What will happen to her? Will the Tohsaka family still treat her well?"
"Moreover, Konoha still needs my fighting force, and I can't spend seven days going to other places."
Iori really wanted to help; the King of Heroes' Treasury in the Fourth Holy Grail War was incredibly tempting, but the timing was just too unfortunate—the ninja world was still at war.
Emiya Shirou shook his head and explained, "This is Valhalla, time is never an issue. When you come back, it will be the same second as when you left."
The Hall of Heroes transcends the concept of time, which is why it contains an endless number of heroic spirits.
"As for Sakura, we will hand her over to the Edfeldt family. As her grandmother's family, Sakura will be treated well given her qualifications."
"I understand. But how do I get there? What will happen to my body?"
After Iori understood that it wouldn't interfere with the arrangements outside, she agreed, partly because she wanted to collect the treasures and partly to repay a favor.
Emiya Shirou's face relaxed slightly: "Accept the call, then respond, and your spirit will go there. As for your physical body, it's just a dream."
He entered Iori's information into Valhalla and then said.
"I'm leaving everything to you."
"Leave it to me!"
-----------------
Holy Grail War
Seven magicians summon seven avatars of Heroic Spirits, who then fight against each other. The final victor receives the omnipotent wish-granting machine and the Holy Grail.
Chapter 31 Servant Berserker arrives as summoned.
Type-Moon Earth
Fuyuki City, Japan
The pitch-black night enveloped the earth, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.
Inside a gloomy and eerie European-style mansion, dim light shines through the windows, casting dappled shadows.
A short, frightening-looking old man with a cane walked slowly ahead.
Behind him, a pale-faced girl followed closely, her eyes filled with fear.
"Grandpa...Grandpa, where are you taking me?" The girl's voice trembled uncontrollably, making it almost inaudible.
"Oh, this is just a place for you to cultivate in the future. Look, we've arrived." The old man smiled and pointed with his cane to the warehouse in front of him.
"Is this the place? There's nothing here."
The girl looked in the direction the old man was pointing. The warehouse looked eerie and terrifying, but she felt a little relieved. At least it didn't look as scary as she had imagined.
The old man nodded and said, "Go in."
She followed the old man's instructions and slowly walked down to the middle of the warehouse. Her heart was pounding like a drum, her palms were sweating, and the surrounding darkness seemed to be swallowing her up.
"Now that we're here, aren't we?" The old man's voice echoed in the warehouse, carrying a chilling coldness.
Suddenly, countless insects emerged from the corner of the warehouse and swarmed toward the girl.
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
The girl let out a heart-wrenching scream, which echoed through the warehouse, sounding even more piercing.
"Don't get excited, there's still plenty of time. After all, we need to change your attribute to the water attribute that the Matou family excels at."
The old man spoke coldly, watching the scene unfold without a shred of compassion.
The girl retreated in despair, her legs no longer obeying her commands, and fear rendered her unable to utter a sound.
What is this? Why did this happen to me?
[Dad, Mom, save me! Sister, save me!!]
Whoever you are, please, please save me!!
As the insects drew ever closer, the girl's heart sank into despair.
She wondered helplessly why she had been sent to the Matou family and why she had to go through these nightmarish events.
She prayed in her heart that someone would come to save her, but all she received in response was endless darkness and fear.
