Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 175: "True Power Should Be Like This!"

"Don't start with boastful claims right away, Madara. It only makes you look weaker..."

Uchiha Yi's calm and confident smile cut through Madara's rhetoric like a blade.

But it wasn't enough to simply exchange words—actions were needed to back them up.

Fire Style: Flying Flame Step!

Yi's foot ignited, leaving behind a trail of fire. With a sharp flicker, he disappeared, reappearing directly in front of Madara in the blink of an eye.

"See? I've already touched your heart," Yi said lightly, his two fingers resting precisely where Madara's heart was.

"What?!"

Despite his heightened vigilance, Madara found himself caught completely off guard. His eyes widened, and for a split second, he felt an unfamiliar chill—fear.

"Curse you!"

Madara's fury ignited. A black rod extended from his palm as he slashed upward toward Yi.

But Yi simply vanished in a flicker of fire, reappearing behind Madara with effortless grace.

"You're far too naive, Madara."

"It seems your understanding of the word 'power' differs greatly from mine."

"Let me show you... True power should be like this!"

Raising his unreleased blade, Ryūjin Jakka, Yi appeared once more in front of Madara. With a calm yet decisive swing, he brought the blade down.

"Rip!"

The blade cut deep into Madara's chest, leaving a searing wound. Blood gushed from the gash, pooling beneath him as he crumpled to the ground.

Despite his newfound strength, Madara found himself gasping for air, struggling to comprehend how he'd been so thoroughly outmatched.

"Get up, Madara. Stop lying around."

"If you don't fight me with everything you've got, all your efforts will be for nothing," Yi said, standing nearby, his posture relaxed but his voice sharp.

It was clear—this battle had never been fair.

Madara's injuries began to heal rapidly, his ten-tailed power rejuvenating him within moments.

"You...!"

"Are you mocking me?"

Madara's voice trembled with rage, his body trembling as it regenerated.

"Ha!"

"Look at you, Madara. When did you start believing you were invincible?"

"You know what makes this funny? You think you've climbed the highest peak, only to realize there's an entire mountain above you."

Yi's calm delivery was like salt in a wound, every word biting deeper.

"Enough of this arrogance!"

Madara activated his Sage Art.

Sage Art: Shadow Thunder Web!

Black lightning crackled in his palms, branching out into an intricate web that surged toward Yi, intent on enveloping and electrocuting him.

"Void Devouring Flame!"

But Yi was unfazed. With a mere thought, a barrier of formless flame appeared before him, swallowing Madara's black lightning into nothingness.

From the outside, it looked as if Yi had simply stood still, dissolving Madara's devastating attack without even moving.

"Unbelievable!"

Members of the Akatsuki, now standing as spectators, watched in awe.

"That's the mightiest Uchiha alive today!"

Madara—once the symbol of absolute invincibility—was being toyed with.

Every clash of their battle etched the name Uchiha Yi deeper into their minds.

"Why didn't he act sooner?! If he's this powerful, he could've ended this long ago!"

Tsunade's frustration boiled over as she watched from a distance.

Self-blame and irritation at Yi's delayed involvement clouded her thoughts.

But Jiraiya and Orochimaru exchanged glances and stayed silent. They understood Yi wasn't acting for anyone's benefit but his own.

"If you're this powerful, why don't you just stop him already?"

Tobirama's voice was laced with venom as he lay pinned to the ground, glaring at Yi.

"Why should I?"

Yi smiled.

"I'm waiting for him to kill all of you first. Then, I'll take care of him when he's weakened. That way, the world will be mine without any resistance."

"Madness!"

"You Uchihas are all lunatics!"

Tobirama's fury boiled over, his disdain for the Uchiha clan never clearer.

In response, Yi began to release his blade.

"Reduce all creation to ash... Ryūjin Jakka!"

The sword ignited, transforming into a roaring inferno that engulfed the battlefield.

Flames burned with an intensity exceeding 6,000 degrees, vaporizing moisture and warping the very air.

Madara, though powerful, could feel the oppressive heat suffocating him.

"That blade... it's unlike anything I've seen before."

Determined not to falter, Madara activated Limbo: Border Jail.

His shadow clone lunged from behind, aiming for Yi's blind spot.

But Yi merely smiled, lifting his fiery blade.

"Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

The clone disintegrated upon contact with the flames, vanishing without a trace.

"Madara, this is what power truly means. It's not about strength alone—it's about overwhelming dominance!"

Yi stepped forward, the flames around him growing brighter, hotter.

As the firestorm consumed the battlefield, even the mighty Madara Uchiha began to question if he could emerge victorious.
