Chapter 34: Fierce Battle!
Forest of Death
Uchiha Nan and Mito Uzumaki stood facing each other on an open ground.
Dozens of trees in the distance each had a few people standing on them, observing the battle between Uchiha Nan and Mito Uzumaki from a high vantage point.
Let the fight begin!
Uchiha Nan could no longer contain his fighting spirit. This was his first time facing a ninja at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
The Uchiha clan had always been warlike!
Uchiha Nan was no exception, but fate had never given him the chance to fight at his full strength.
Even without using the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, there were only a handful of people in the ninja world who could suppress Uchiha Nan.
Those were the Kage of a few ninja villages, such as the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki, and the Second Tsuchikage Mū…
These were the Kage of their respective villages. During the years Uchiha Nan spent lying low, he had never had the chance to encounter such figures. Uchiha Nan had never truly fought with all his might.
Now, he finally had the chance!
Uchiha Nan's body crackled with lightning, and with a "zap," he transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing towards Mito Uzumaki.
Thunderous Strike!
With a loud "boom," Uchiha Nan's ninja blade was intercepted in midair. Mito Uzumaki was now surrounded by a dark red chakra cloak, with five tails appearing behind her. With a slight flick of one tail…
With a "bang," the ninja blade that had accompanied Uchiha Nan through many battles was snapped in half, causing him great pain.
That blade was expensive!
It cost a full 700,000 ryo, and countless precious materials were added to it to allow his lightning chakra to be transmitted almost perfectly.
Not giving Uchiha Nan much time to grieve, Mito Uzumaki unleashed a surge of power. A chilling chakra appeared, and her tails extended infinitely, launching a barrage of heavy blows at Uchiha Nan!
Uchiha Nan dodged continuously. Before he could catch his breath, the ground around Mito Uzumaki shattered into pieces. Several-ton rocks were easily lifted by her tails and hurled at Uchiha Nan like pebbles.
Damn it, damn it!
Uchiha Nan entered escape mode, darting from the ground to the trees, then back to the ground. The whistling wind from the dodging boulders excited him. He hadn't felt this life-or-death sensation in a long time.
"Then bring it on!"
Uchiha Nan shouted, quickly forming hand seals.
"Lava Style: Scorching Stream Rock Technique!"
A dozen lava projectiles flew towards Mito Uzumaki. Not stopping there, Uchiha Nan formed a Lava Style Spiraling Shuriken with one hand and threw it as well.
I'll blast you to pieces!
Uchiha Nan gasped for air. Unleashing two powerful ninjutsu in quick succession was exhausting.
A white skeletal frame appeared around Mito Uzumaki, and she began to transform into a Tailed Beast!
Roar, roar, roar!
Mito Uzumaki roared, and the lava projectiles were blown away by her sonic waves. Simultaneously, she continuously gathered chakra in her mouth, forming a high-density chakra ball.
With a "bang!"
A chakra ball and the Lava Style Spiraling Shuriken exploded, the blast emitting a blinding white light that turned everything around them to ash.
Uchiha Nan quickly moved away from the center of the explosion. Just as he escaped, Mito Uzumaki began firing chakra balls of the same power as before from her mouth, like a machine gun…
Uchiha Nan was amazed. Was this the joy of unlimited chakra?
It was incredibly exhilarating!
Uchiha Nan's past-life fear of insufficient firepower was kicking in.
One day, Uchiha Nan would capture a Tailed Beast as his chakra source!
If that's the case, then I'll get serious too.
If he kept testing and delaying, he would be riddled with holes by Mito Uzumaki.
Kamui!
Spatial distortions appeared where Uchiha Nan's gaze fell, absorbing all the chakra balls into the Kamui dimension.
Mito Uzumaki was slightly surprised. A space-time ninjutsu?
Then she sneered, wanting to see if Uchiha Nan could absorb this one too.
An even more powerful chakra gathered in Mito Uzumaki's mouth, and a black-purple chakra ball appeared. A Tailed Beast Ball with a radius of several meters was formed.
With a "bang," it was launched, snapping all the trees in its path in half.
Uchiha Nan couldn't absorb such a large Tailed Beast Ball. It was too big.
The Kamui dimension entrance couldn't fit it.
But that was okay. Uchiha Nan could still dodge!
Kamui!
Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to hit Uchiha Nan, his body phased through space, and the ball passed through where he had been.
Uchiha Nan had dodged it, but the spectators were in trouble, fleeing frantically!
"How is watching a fight life-threatening?"
"Stop talking and run! Do you really want to die here?"
"..."
The clan heads of several small families yelled, but their legs didn't slow down, sprinting to avoid the Tailed Beast Ball's blast radius.
"How about that, Hinata clan head? I told you we should have run earlier."
Uchiha Inaho's tone was smug. He was smart, picking a distant spot, and immediately fleeing when things looked bad.
"Thanks, thank you so much!"
"I'll treat you to dinner later, please do come!"
Hinata Takuma's forehead was dripping with sweat, thanking him while leaping from branch to branch. Earlier, Uchiha Inaho, remembering the alliance between the Hinata and Uchiha clans, gave a slight hint about their position.
This allowed Hinata Takuma to stand further away. When Uchiha Inaho sensed danger, he shouted "Run!" and took off.
Hinata Takuma followed without hesitation. The other clan heads hadn't reacted when a Tailed Beast Ball flew their way.
With a loud "boom!"
A massive explosion occurred, and the powerful aftershock sent those who were slow to react flying. Fortunately, the injuries weren't severe, and they could return to get medical treatment.
Uchiha Nan returned to his physical form, maintaining a distance from Mito Uzumaki, his expression grave.
He couldn't continue like this. Uchiha Nan felt constantly pressured. The Nine-Tails was too overpowered.
Its near-infinite chakra and ranged attacks created a barrage of fire, preventing Uchiha Nan from closing in!
And why the hell didn't Tobirama Senju let Mito Uzumaki loose during the First Shinobi World War?
She could have just stood on the front lines, spitting out chakra balls!
Uchiha Nan now wondered if Tobirama Senju had put all his intelligence into research and how to deal with the Uchiha.
Why not use a walking artillery platform?
Mito Uzumaki's strength far exceeded his expectations!
His Kamui was truly being used for escape.

A prolonged defense would inevitably fail. It was time to unleash his trump card!
"Susanoo!!"
Uchiha Nan roared, and a sapphire-blue Susanoo appeared, standing tens of meters tall, looking down at Mito Uzumaki.
