The sudden arrival of Ōtsutsuki Sugito immediately drew the great attention of all parties.
"Kill him, and the war will end," Madara Uchiha murmured under his breath.
"Those are my eyes," Hyūga Tenjin muttered, his breath quickening as an insatiable desire gleamed in his gaze.
"Heh, pathetic fools," Fūma Yukishi sneered, casually distancing himself from the others.
He feared that the man might recklessly come after him for revenge.
Little did he know, at that moment, Ōtsutsuki Sugito wasn't paying him the slightest attention.
While everyone else hesitated, carefully observing the situation, one individual could no longer hold back and took action first.
"Bastard! Give me back my father's life!" Uchiha Izuna roared as he charged at the enemy with unrestrained fury.
With a series of hand seals, several massive pillars of flame erupted from the ground, twisting and writhing like serpents as they encircled the enemy.
Fire Style: Great Flame Technique!
"Foolish brat," Sugito remarked with cold indifference.
To him, the young man was nothing more than a reckless child scrambling to survive. What was there to take seriously?
"This level of trickery… spare me."
As his Tenseigan gleamed faintly, an overwhelming repulsive force surged outward like a tidal wave.
The seemingly powerful pillars of flame instantly shattered into pieces, bursting like fragile balloons under the pressure.
"Hmph, not worth mentioning," Sugito muttered. But as he glanced down, his eyes met a pair of haunting, glowing orbs.
A frown creased his brow—there was something about the boy that felt off compared to their last encounter.
"Not worth mentioning?" Izuna grinded his teeth, his rage boiling over as he experienced, for the first time in his life, such an intense desire to kill someone.
"Fine then. Today, I'll show you something new."
Saying this, he suddenly activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, triggering his dojutsu, and the flames that were about to dissipate immediately regained some of their former intensity.
Kagutsuchi!
The newly revitalized flames coiled around Sugito like a whirlwind, compressing inward with relentless force.
One second… two seconds… three seconds...
Boom!
It wasn't until Sugito unleashed another wave of repulsive force that he managed to break free from the vortex of fire.
As he emerged, his body bore scorched marks, and his expression turned grim. "What is this ability? Why didn't you show it before?" he demanded.
"Hmph." Izuna's icy gaze was unwavering. Scarlet flames swirled around him, casting his figure in the image of a blazing deity. "It is the power of hatred—hatred that has shown me how to kill you."
"Today, I will make you pay for my father's life."
As soon as the words left his mouth, an intense emerald glow burst forth around him.
After rigorous training, Izuna had successfully mastered the power of Susanoo.
The emerald-green Susanoo in its second form appeared, conjuring a bow and arrow. Flaming arrows took shape, locking firmly onto the enemy.
"Die!"
Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi!
The arrow of the Susanoo was incredibly swift, almost arriving in front of the enemy in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The Whirlpool of flames exploded, and Otsutsuki Sugito was struck by Izuna's attack without any reaction.
The dark green Susanoo dissipated, and Izuna half-knelt on the ground, breathing heavily.
For him at this moment, simultaneously activating the Susanoo and his unique dojutsu was still too much to bear.
"At last, I've avenged my father..."
Before the smile on his lips could fully form, a figure wrapped in black mist suddenly charged toward him.
"Brat, you're still too inexperienced." The green sphere of light expanded infinitely, engulfing Izuna in an instant.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion rang out. Even though Izuna managed to summon his Susanoo at the critical moment, he still couldn't avoid being severely injured by the enemy's strike.
Ultimately, Izuna's age was still too young.
"What a pity, if only his other dojutsu were Amaterasu." Kyosuke remarked with slight regret.
A dojutsu combined with Kagutsuchi could control all flames, including the black flames, and with it, the user would truly deserve the title of Fire God.
However, mere control was not enough. To defeat the enemy, the power of the flames was equally important.
In this regard, Izuna was inferior to Sasuke, even though in the later battles, aside from the White Zetsu clones, Amaterasu couldn't burn anyone, Sasuke's mastery of fire was greater.
Dodging the light energy projectiles coming his way, Kyosuke didn't act immediately.
Black Zetsu's abandonment meant that the Otsutsuki clan had already reached the end of the road.
He even began to doubt that these people might not even have the ability to return to the moon anymore.
Although the enemy appeared to be in full control, none of the powerful figures had yet made their move.
No matter how strong he was, it would be impossible for him to survive a relentless barrage.
Izuna's defeat meant that the time had come for the strongest brother complex to appear.
"Bastard, I'll take your life!" With a furious roar, Uchiha Madara, the King of Dance, made his grand entrance.
His hands moved rapidly, like butterflies weaving through flowers, completing the hand seals. Then, a sea of flames once again descended upon the world.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
A fireball, resembling a meteor, fell from the sky, its area of coverage so vast that every ninja on the battlefield couldn't help but take notice.
"God, the clan leader's Fire Style..."
"What terrifying power, even Lord Tajima might not be able to do this."
In a corner of the battlefield, Uchiha Kōji shook his head with a bitter smile, finally understanding the immense gap between him and the clan leader.
He had once prided himself on being a Fire Style expert, but now, witnessing Madara's Fire Style, he understood what it meant for a flickering candle to compete with the bright moon.
Awakening the power of Indra, Madara's chakra had indeed surged to an extraordinary level.
However, the cause of such a spectacular display seemed to involve more than just the sheer quantity of chakra.
As an observer, Kyosuke had always believed that Madara's second ocular technique might be related to this, yet it appeared to be more than just a simple enhancement.
According to the Sage of Six Paths' description, after death, the soul should lose all consciousness and passively head to a place called the "Pure Land."
There, the deceased would rest peacefully, unaware of the passage of time.
The reanimated corpses summoned by Orochimaru confirmed this, as even the Four Hokage couldn't sense anything unusual after their death.
Only the true Otsutsuki clan had the ability to break the rules of the Pure Land.
Besides that, Madara's reappearance among the reanimated army was an exception.
When the King of Dance was summoned, he kicked open his coffin, and his first words were, "That kid Nagato has finally grown up, making me wait so long."
This indicated that even after death, Madara retained his consciousness and could clearly sence the passage of time.
When the Reanimation Jutsu was lifted and his soul began to ascend, Madara still managed to force his spiritual form to return, even casting Fire Style jutsu while in his soul state.
It was truly outrageous.
Initially, Kyosuke thought this was a result of the Reanimation Jutsu, but upon further reflection, at that time, Madara hadn't even undone the technique yet.
Moreover, not just anyone could undo the effects of Reanimation.
As its creator, Tobirama would have a hard time moving even an inch without Orochimaru's permission, let alone canceling the jutsu.
Madara, on the other hand, could freely play with the Five Kage without worrying about the caster erasing his will, all thanks to his second dojutsu technique.
Thus, Kyosuke boldly speculated that this power was most likely related to the soul.
Enhancing ninjutsu was merely a side effect, similar to how Kyosuke's own fusion of spiritual energy had consistently boosted his chakra reserves.
It was the soul that truly hid Madara's deepest power.
