All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Uchiha Sō casually handed the binoculars to Akechi Mitsuhisa, and then began to put on his armor with the help of his personal guards.

The inky darkness enveloped the Musashi Plain, with only the scattered campfires glowing from the Takeda army's continuous encampments, like the mottled scales of a dying beast.

Outside the camp, the defensive line of fortifications, moats, and arrow towers outlined a chilling silhouette under the moonlight, proving that Takeda Shingen's caution was not without merit.

However, in the shadows just a stone's throw from the camp, the aura of death had already gathered.

Uchiha Elephant was clad in a specially made jet-black Nanban armor set, the armor plates gleaming with a cold, eerie luster under the moonlight, resembling the scales of a Qilin.

He sat upright on his magnificent warhorse, his gaze piercing through the darkness, precisely locking onto the core area of ​​the camp.

Behind him stood generals such as Akechi Mitsuhisa, Hojo Ujiyasu, and Hojo Tamemasa, eight hundred elite cavalrymen who had followed him through the trials of Kaede Village and were equipped with fine muskets and sharp swords, like a pack of lurking wolves, their men and horses gagged, their killing intent restrained.

"Shi Kang, let's begin."

Uchiha Sō's voice was deep and clear, carrying an unquestionable decisiveness.

"I obey! Lord Governor!"

A fanatical glint ignited in Hojo Ujiyasu's eyes, and he abruptly swung his arm down.

In an instant, the deathly silence was ripped apart!

"Boom! Boom boom boom boom—!!!"

Behind the Hojo army formation, dozens of light artillery pieces, improved by Uchiha Eboshi and with range and accuracy far exceeding those of the era, suddenly roared!

Orange-red flames tore through the night, accompanied by a piercing shriek, and crashed down like divine punishment upon the Takeda coalition's meticulously constructed camp gates, watchtowers, and densely packed tent area!

A massive explosion swept across the entire plain! Wood chips, mud, and severed limbs shot into the sky amidst the flames!

The sturdy camp gate was blown to pieces, and an arrow tower collapsed in the flames, like a toy crushed by a giant beast.

Uesugi Norimasa and his entourage, who had just been drunkenly boasting, were instantly terrified, their drunkenness vanished, and they watched in horror as their surroundings transformed into a living hell!

The soldiers fled from their tents in disarray, running around like headless flies. Their shrill screams, panicked shouts, and the neighing of their warhorses instantly drowned out everything else.

"Enemy attack! It's the Hojo army! Artillery! They have artillery!"

The piercing alarm finally sounded, but it was too late!

"Where the Qilin Banner points, nothing can stand in its way!"

Uchiha Xiang raised his famous sword "Sirius" high, its blade gleaming with an eerie, cold light in the firelight.

"Follow me today—and crush the enemy camp!"

"Roar--!!!"

The eight hundred elite soldiers let out a deafening roar, like a long-suppressed volcano erupting!

"drive!"

Uchiha Zang took the lead, like an arrow released from a bow, rushing towards the huge gap torn open by the cannon!

Akechi Mitsuhisa followed closely behind, while the Hojo brothers led the main infantry force, like two surging torrents, flanking from the flanks!

Takeda Shingen lived up to his title of "Tiger of Kai," quickly regaining his composure after the initial shock.

In the firelight, his hair and beard bristled, and he drew his sword, "Jiguang Gushi," roaring hoarsely:

"Don't panic! It's Hojo Akitoki! Hold the line! Nobushige! Organize the Red Guards to plug the gap! Archers, suppress them!"

Upon receiving the order, Takeda Nobushige quickly organized the Takeda clan's most elite Red Cavalry, attempting to form a battle line at the breach and use spears and bows to block the Hojo cavalry's charge.

However, they were facing Uchiha Zō!

He is not just a fierce general, but a commander who combines the combat wisdom of the Naruto world with the insight of the Pain clone!

His charge was unpredictable, moving like a ghost through the chaotic crowd, precisely avoiding the hastily formed gun formation of the Red Guards.

The "Sirius" in his hand transformed into a deadly arc of light!

"Secret Sword - Swallow Return!"

The flash of the blade was as swift as a startled swan!

The three Red Guard cavalrymen in the front row felt a chill on their necks before their heads were sent flying into the air!

The splattered blood was like a red carpet clearing the way for the Qilin!

Uchiha Elephant's momentum remained undiminished; man and horse became one, like a red-hot dagger stabbing fiercely into the core of the Red Guard's formation!

"Those who block my way shall die!"

His roar was so powerful that it drowned out the clamor of the battlefield, carrying an awe-inspiring majesty.

With another flash of blade, several more elite warriors were cleaved in two, armor and all!

That inhuman strength, godlike speed, and the terrifying sight of slaying generals like cutting grass instantly shattered the Red Guards' psychological defenses!

"A monster...a demon!"

"He's not human! Run!"

The collapse of the Red Guard was like an avalanche, and the chain reaction instantly swept through the core of the entire Takeda coalition!

Uesugi Norimasa's troops were the first to be terrified, the first to turn tail and run, shouting:

"We've lost! We've lost! Run for your lives!"

Seeing the situation was dire, the other minor daimyo also led their defeated troops in a desperate escape towards the only gap in the rear of the camp that had not been completely surrounded—a path of escape deliberately left by the Hojo army!

The army collapsed like a house of cards!

Takeda Shingen watched helplessly as his painstakingly maintained lines crumbled under the spearheaded attack of Uchiha Eboshi and the flanking maneuvers of the Hojo army. The elite Red Guards were routed by a single man on horseback!

An unprecedented sense of frustration and chill washed over me.

He knew that the situation was hopeless!

"Brother! Run!"

Covered in blood, Takeda Nobushige, along with his remaining personal guards, fiercely protected Shingen.

"As long as the green hills remain, there's always hope! Let's retreat towards Echigo! Uesugi Kenshin is still there!"

Takeda Shingen's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the black figure in the distance who moved through the enemy ranks as if they were nothing, his blade striking and blood flying everywhere—the Kirin of Sagami!

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat towards Echigo! Nobushige, follow!"

The Tiger of Kai could only sheepishly retract its claws and, under the desperate protection of its guards, merge into the torrent of defeat.

How could Uchiha Elephant allow this fierce tiger to escape so easily?

He left the Hojo brothers, Ujiyasu and Akechi Mitsuhisa, with the following instructions: "Ujiyasu, Tamemasa, and Mitsuhisa! Gather the surrendered soldiers, clear the battlefield, and occupy Kawagoe Castle! The defeated soldiers are yours to ensure they are completely rendered incapable of fighting!"

"I obey! Lord Governor!"

The three answered in unison, their eyes gleaming with fervor for victory and absolute obedience to their patriarch.

Akechi Mitsuhisa was particularly excited, directing the musket squad to begin precise volleys at the remaining enemy soldiers who were trying to resist, while the infantry combed through the battlefield like a comb, dividing and surrounding the surrendered ones.

Uchiha Sōno personally led his eight hundred elite cavalrymen, who were like a leech, and held fast to Takeda Shingen's banner!

They were like black whirlwinds, stirring up clouds of dust across the plains.

The scattered remnants of Takeda's army were powerless to stop them, and any slight hesitation was met with merciless crushing by their iron hooves.

With each swing of Uchiha Sō's "Sirius," he precisely took the life of a Takeda samurai who was trying to cover their retreat, ruthless and efficient.

As Takeda Shingen fought and retreated, his personal guards dwindled in number, their robes stained with blood.

He was filled with grief and indignation, never imagining he would end up in such a sorry state. The blood-soaked path stretched for dozens of miles, seemingly without end.

Finally, in the darkest hour before dawn, a continuous array of campfires and a well-organized military formation appeared ahead!

A large banner with the character "毘" (bi) and a military flag with the character "龙" (long) fluttered in the morning breeze—the Dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin!

Like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, Takeda Shingen charged desperately towards the Uesugi army, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Lord Qianxin! Save me!"

The Kirin of Sagami have all come out in full force, and their momentum is unstoppable!

He has already defeated our allied forces and is now leading his elite troops in pursuit of us!

If he succeeds, you'll be next!

Now is the perfect time for us to join forces, surround and kill this scoundrel, and divide up the Guandong region!

With the dragon and tiger united, even the Qilin can be slain!

The camp gates were wide open, and Uesugi Kenshin, dressed in a white monk's robe and armor, appeared. His face was thin and refined, but his eyes were as deep and calm as a cold pool.

He sat on his horse, quietly watching the disheveled Takeda Shingen, then looked at the rapidly approaching black torrent in the dust and the ferocious Kirin Banner in the distance.

He could naturally see that Takeda Shingen was trying to shift the blame, but Shingen's words also touched on his concerns.

That Qilin rose to prominence too quickly, and its brilliance was too overwhelming!

If we can destroy Takeda today, we can plot against Echigo tomorrow!

"Lord Xinxuan is mistaken,"

Uesugi Kenshin's voice was calm yet carried a metallic quality.

"It is not to save you, nor to divide the spoils. This wicked man is ferocious and cruel, regarding all heroes of the world as nothing, repeatedly committing unjust wars, and possessing supernatural powers. He has no right to be a subject. Today, it is to uphold righteousness and eliminate this great scourge!"

He slowly drew his famous sword, "Kodou Nagamitsu," from his waist. The blade, reflecting the morning light, gleamed with a cold light.

"All troops, listen to my command! Engage the enemy! Target—Sagamiya Kirin!"

"drink!"

The Echigo army erupted in a unified roar, their morale soaring!

With spears like a forest and bows nocked, elite cavalry began to deploy on both flanks.

Uesugi Kenshin's strict military discipline and the grim atmosphere of his troops stood in stark contrast to the defeated Takeda coalition.

Uchiha Enoki reined in his warhorse, and the eight hundred cavalrymen behind him instantly went from extreme motion to extreme stillness, like black rocks.

His gaze swept over the Uesugi army, which stood ready for battle ahead, and the remaining defeated Takeda soldiers beside him, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"A dragon and tiger in perfect harmony? That saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly across the battlefield, filled with an arrogant disdain for the world.
