Raizen put on a magnanimous air, summoned his black ninja sword, and charged.
"!"
Yotsuki Kei's heart jolted.
One second they were talking about hidden truths—the next, everything was settled in a few words?
Clang!
Yotsuki Kei drew his blade, blocking Raizen's descending strike.
"Y-… Uchiha Raizen, are you sure you want to be our enemy?"
Yotsuki Kei asked gravely.
Raizen's only response was a single sentence.
"I am an Uchiha of Konoha. The Uchiha are Konoha's number-one clan!"
Raizen's expression radiated pride in being born Uchiha. His strike grew heavier.
A single tomoe appeared in his eyes.
Under the Sharingan's enhancement, Raizen's physical abilities surged.
Already slowly and permanently increasing from activating two-tomoe Sharingan, his strength rose dramatically once more!
Boom!
The roaring flames on Raizen's sword grew brighter red—even affecting Yotsuki Kei's blade!
"This is… Chakra Flow—but Fire Release, not Lightning?"
Yotsuki Kei's tiger mouth ached from the force.
According to intel from Kumogakure's infiltrators, Raizen had only been taught Lightning Release techniques.
So how did he know Fire Release Chakra Flow?
The flames illuminated Yotsuki Kei's dark skin with a complex red glow.
He couldn't understand.
Nor could he understand how Raizen's strength matched his own.
Was this the power of the Sharingan?
Blue-white arcs crackled around Yotsuki Kei's left hand.
"Lightning Release: Fang Road!"
Fangs of lightning surged toward Raizen.
Raizen twisted his wrist, sliding his blade along Yotsuki Kei's.
Bang!
A dazzling white light erupted where the blades met. Lightning and flames intertwined before Raizen plunged the sword into the ground—grounding the electricity.
"The Sharingan's insight…"
Yotsuki Kei's face darkened.
He and Raizen shared Yotsuki blood—both with exceptional physical talent.
But Raizen also had the Sharingan's monstrous perception.
"So Raizen can awaken both Sharingan eyes."
Kurenai noticed the eerie red glow in both of Raizen's eyes.
She had only seen him activate one before—thought that was the limit.
"Either he just awakened it, or he's been hiding it."
Asuma said.
Clan rumors said Sharingan awakening required immense pain.
Perhaps Raizen had been deeply hurt by the Hyūga's words—enough to awaken his second eye?
Asuma guarded Kurenai with his chakra blades while speculating.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
A blazing fireball shot from Raizen's mouth, rapidly growing enormous.
"What powerful Fire Release!"
Yotsuki Kei's expression changed. He dodged hastily.
Even though he evaded, the intense heat scorched his skin.
Drake and Taff immediately disengaged from Hinata Tetsu and Kamon, rushing to support Yotsuki Kei.
The Sharingan's exaggerated dynamic capture made their movements perfectly visible to Raizen.
Raizen's lips curved into a smile.
Slow.
Too slow!
He yanked the sword from the ground. Lightning grids wove through his feet, activating his cells.
He vanished.
When everyone saw Raizen again, blood sprayed.
Drake and Taff were covered in wounds, the smell of charred flesh filling the air.
If not for their Kumo training and tough skin from body techniques, Raizen's strikes would have cut them in half!
"Leave the scroll and get lost."
Raizen said calmly.
Yotsuki Kei stared deeply at Raizen, then tossed three scrolls and fled with his teammates.

Alright, we can discuss the details now, Hinata Natsu."
Raizen sheathed his sword, flames dying out.
"…Okay."
Hinata Natsu could only nod.
"Tetsu, Kamon—are your injuries serious?"
Hinata Natsu rushed over.
"It's nothing."
Hinata Tetsu shook his head, then pointed at Raizen:
"What the hell happened? Can't you tell us, Natsu?"
But in front of these eyes, it's still not enough."
With Raizen's perception, he easily tracked Sarutobi Asuma.
If the Sharingan's greatest strength was dynamic vision, it was unparalleled.
Bang!
Raizen's long ninja sword blocked Asuma's serrated chakra blades.
The two clashed....Wind Release and Fire Release fused. Wind fueled the flames, instantly expanding them into a brilliant burst like fireworks!
"Sharingan!?"
Asuma froze, feeling the heat rush across his face.
He thought he'd seen a flash of scarlet in Raizen's eyes.
But it was too fast.....he couldn't be sure if it was real or just his imagination.
No!
Asuma's gaze sharpened.
How did Raizen know this technique?
There was no doubt—this was… "Chakra Flow"!
Seeing Asuma's shocked and confused expression, Raizen twisted his wrist.
Clang!
Asuma's chakra blade was sent flying into the air.
His fingers showed clear scrape marks, nearly breaking the skin.
The eight shinobi attributes included "strength."
This referred to arm strength, leg strength, overall muscle power, and so on.
