Uchiha's personal opinion

Meanwhile, Ashura and the two sages from Mount Myōboku were silently linking their Sage Chakra, creating surging chakra storms.

Neither side made a move immediately; instead, they silently stared at each other.

As for Hatake Sakumo, who was lurking underground, he secretly groaned. He didn't know whether his specially modified, extended nodachi would be effective in this situation. Because when facing enemies with large bodies or strong defenses, his White Fang short sword had often failed to completely penetrate the enemy's outer defenses, he had specially equipped himself with an extra nodachi made of chakra metal.

As the sealing array continued to operate, the sky was completely plunged into inky darkness; and perhaps someone in the distant Fushimi County noticed the anomaly in the sky, and some noise began to emanate from it.

"Don't you care at all about the lives of ordinary people?"

Ashura suddenly broke the silence.

Uchiha Tokumitsu remained silent, continuing to slowly and steadily channel his chakra.

The magical fluctuations that followed surprised the two immortals on Asura's shoulders.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu demonstrated his use of Sage Chakra during the battle that destroyed Akatsuki, it was merely a simple application of Sage Chakra as a "fuel" to perform ninjutsu, nothing more than the most rudimentary application of Sage Jutsu. But now it seems that he has fused Sage Chakra with the Mangekyou Sharingan and Tailed Beast powers of the Uchiha clan, thus creating a Sage Jutsu style that is completely different from the Sage Jutsu system of the three great holy lands!

But for the Holy Land, this is the greatest threat to them!

No one understands the power of natural energy better than them!

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance and simultaneously made up their minds.

"clatter!"

Ashura stamped his foot and shouted lightly. Instantly, highly condensed chakra vortexes formed in the air and shot towards Uchiha Tokumitsu's armored Susanoo. At the same time, he conjured chakra blades in his hands and rushed forward in a flash.

"Humph!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted coldly, and the Firelight Lord burst forth from his body, blocking or swallowing the incoming wind balls. He then activated his armored Susanoo and charged towards the Ashura duo.

Neither side used hand seals or specific techniques; instead, they tacitly agreed to engage in the most primitive and brutal method of clashing violently!

"boom!"

The violent collision of the two incredibly powerful chakra aggregates unleashed a fierce chakra annihilation storm, blowing away trees and even the soil beneath them!

Hatake Sakumo, who was hiding underground preparing to launch a flanking attack, was caught off guard and almost exposed himself.

"Crack!"

At the very moment the two sides clashed, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo immediately sprouted four arms, each wielding a chakra weapon and swinging them toward the Ashura duo.

Ashura's arms were struggling to parry the original arms of Uchiha Tokumitsu's armored Susanoo, while the four newly generated arms were dealt with by the two sages on his shoulders.

"Frog Kumite!"

The two sages immediately activated their sage chakra, enlarging their arms to engage in a fierce battle with the four arms of Susanoo. However, this prevented them from focusing on controlling their sage chakra and casting sage techniques.

Therefore, at this time, the advantage of the Armored Sequel Nobunaga is revealed - Uchiha Tokumitsu also has a tailed beast under his command!

Matatabi, the Two-Tails, immediately opened his mouth wide, fusing a small portion of his Sage Chakra with the power of the Tailed Beast as an amplifying agent to unleash his innate skill—

"Fire Rat Jade!"

Streams of rat-shaped, blue and red chakra continuously spewed from the mouth of the Two-Tails Matatabi, blasting the Ashura duo, who were parrying and fighting each other, with tremendous force!

At such close range, coupled with the threat of Susanoo's six arms, the Ashura duo had no way to dodge the Two-Tails Matatabi's attack!

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

The powerful tailed beast technique slammed into the Ashura duo's Sage Chakra defense, and the extremely violent chakra explosion caused the thin but tough Sage Chakra defense layer to flicker repeatedly.

It was only thanks to the two sages on its shoulders frantically drawing upon their sage chakra to replenish it that the outer layer of protection was stabilized.

"Click!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu further increased the intensity of his chakra release, and the Susanoo shook its head, causing two more heads to sprout.

At this point, the armored Susanoo takes on the form of having three heads and six arms.

"Sage Art: Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

"Sage Art: Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!"

"Sage Art: Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also had an advantage: the demon heads of his Susanoo could be used to launch attacks using ninjutsu under the control of his main body.

The Asura duo, who were engaged in a six-armed battle, were completely unable to avoid the close-range ninjutsu bombardment!

"Sage Art: The Eightfold Moon!"

Ashura had no choice but to retreat, and at the same time, he condensed a bright, smooth, mirror-like disc in his palms, reflecting Uchiha Tokumitsu's three Sage Techniques back.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu roared, then, within his Susanoo, swung his flame fan at the reflected Sage Technique. Simultaneously, the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye blazed with a crimson light—

"The Divine Emperor Produces the Spirit Venerable!"

After being amplified by the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, the three Sage Techniques that were launched back again slammed into the Moon's Eightfold Aura, which Ashura was maintaining during his retreat, at an extremely fast speed.

"Crack!"

This time, the Moon's Eightfold Tale failed to reflect Uchiha Tokuko's Sage Art again. The Dragon Flame Song Technique and the Mirror were destroyed at the same time, and the fierce wind made Ashura's body unstable. The two Sages on his shoulders were almost blown away. Then, the Lightning Release: False Darkness transformed into a great spear of lightning and struck Ashura's abdomen hard!

"puff!"

No matter how tough the outer layer of protection is, it cannot withstand the bombardment of immortal techniques enhanced by multiple amplifications.

Ashura's abdomen was instantly mangled and bloody after being struck by the Thunder Spear, and he also tasted a faint metallic taste in his mouth.

A dim blade of light flashed from behind Asura, aiming straight for his knees!

Sakumo Hatake, who had been lying in wait for a long time, finally saw an opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

Perhaps because the blade of the nodachi he was currently using was too long, Hatake Sakumo did not use his usual "Taijutsu Secret Technique: Thousand Years of Death," but instead adopted a slashing attack with a wider range of attack.

"careful!"

"Immortal Technique: Whirlwind Reversal Formation!"

The sage frog on his shoulder noticed the commotion behind him and immediately shouted.

Ashura then clapped his hands together with great effort, activating his immortal technique.

The fierce whirlwind blocked Sakumo Hatake's sword light, protecting Ashura and allowing him to stand firm.

Hatake Sakumo disappeared again, and Uchiha Tokumitsu activated his Susanoo armor and attacked.

"Truly a peerless ninja!"

Despite his injuries, Ashura still laughed excitedly and once again gathered Sage Chakra to meet Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Meanwhile, the wound on his abdomen began to grow granulation tissue and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Truly worthy of being called a celestial body!"

Having gained the upper hand, Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally wouldn't back down in the slightest. With Susanoo's three heads and six arms at close and long ranges, plus the two-tailed Matatabi under his mount watching him like a tiger, what difficulty could there be in defeating an Ashura who might not be in his complete form and the two sages of Mount Myōboku!

What's more, there's also Sakumo Hatake, who seems righteous but is actually cunning and lurking somewhere, ready to deliver the final blow at any time!

Uchiha Tokumitsu has no idea how reckless he can be to lose!

But barring any unforeseen circumstances...

—Something really went wrong!

Ashura, his face contorted with fervor, seemed to grow stronger with each battle. His Sage Chakra surged like the ebb and flow of the tide, and he also mimicked the attack by spewing out streams of Sage Jutsu from his mouth to parry the three-headed Susanoo!

For a moment, the situation seemed evenly matched!

Uchiha Tokumitsu also sensed that Ashura was absorbing natural energy from the air at an increasingly faster rate, and that his attacks were becoming more and more ferocious!

"What the hell! This guy actually has the ability to unleash his power!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was furious!

He hates characters who have a protagonist archetype in addition to themselves!

It's as if my current fierce offensive is a whetstone; although I can suppress it, I can't completely subdue it. Moreover, it's helping Asura quickly regain his senses and restore his strength! This feeling of doing the work for someone else is truly unpleasant!

"Firelight Venerable!"

The Firelight Lord, which was wrapped around the armored Susanoo to assist in blocking and defense, suddenly opened its mouth wide and spewed out its original Sage Art: Flame Release power towards the Ashura duo who were fighting!

"Bah!"

Ashura, who was hit squarely by the Sage Art: Flame Release, was immediately enveloped in a burst of flashing light!

Firelight Lord, who had used the power of the source, also became listless.

"What the hell is this?!"

Ashura was instantly jolted awake from his frenzied battle.

The Sage Art: Flame Release that Firelight Venerable spewed out did not dissipate as quickly as ordinary Sage Art chakra, nor did it completely penetrate his Sage Art protective layer. Instead, it stuck to his Sage Art protective layer and continued to undergo chakra detonation and annihilation reactions. At the same time, a small portion of the chakra that was burned out of control was refined and stolen!

And its connection with natural energy is thus blocked!

"what!"

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to charge forward with his armored Susanoo, the message sent back by the Firelight Lord stirred something within him.

—The feedback from the refinement of the Firelight Venerable's Immortal Technique Flame Escape contained a trace of spiritual power that was imperceptible but extremely tenacious and indigestible!

"This is……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu proactively waved his Flame Fan to force Ashura away, and then stopped his attack.

Ashura then leaped backward, catching his breath.

Firelight Lord opened his mouth and retrieved the source of the Immortal Technique Flame Release, which was still attached to Ashura and had not yet completely exploded.

Ashura did not stop them.

It's more important to restore the connection with the natural energy of the outside world than to reduce the power of a chakra creation!

"I now know the secret to why you can be reincarnated..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu carefully considered the information provided by the Firelight Lord after he withdrew the Sage Art: Flame Release.

Even Sakumo Hatake, who was lurking underground, couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"You have no soul!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with great certainty.
