Start with the Mangekyo Sharingan: Follow Lord Madara out of Konoha

"Crack!"

The moment the sunglasses shattered, countless shards scattered and spun in the moonlight, revealing a glimpse of crimson that seemed to rip through the dark sky like the evening glow.

They were a pair of glassy eyes, their pupils swirling with intricate black patterns, as if symbolizing some "Dao" and "Principle," beautiful, clear, and deep.

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan came into view, and Uzumaki Kurami was completely stunned, not even noticing the giant being sent flying.

It wasn't until the owner of those eyes retracted his fist and turned his gentle gaze towards him that he snapped out of it.

"What's wrong? Am I scaring you?" Kamihane chuckled softly.

"It's not that, brother." Uzumaki Kurami stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe. "Your skill... how are you so powerful?"

Kamihane shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "You never asked me."

"Those eyes... Could it be that you are a member of the Uchiha clan?"

"I am an Uchiha, but not the Uchiha of Konoha. To be precise, I have no connection to Konoha." Kamihane raised a finger. "Also, I really am a member of the Tantōsai Merchant Guild."

"I'm grateful for your righteous intervention, brother, but the crisis at hand cannot be overcome by your strength alone." Uzumaki Kurami opened his mouth, his eyes filled with determination. "So, you should retreat first..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kamihane suddenly stepped forward, wrapping an arm around his shoulder and pulling him aside.

"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

Ōnoki had quietly completed his charge sometime ago. With a flash of white light, the perfectly proportioned cone reappeared in his hand, and as he held it out, a thick beam of light tore through the night sky like lightning, hurtling towards them!

Kamihane had just pushed Kurami away when the Dust Release came head-on. Facing the blinding white light, he quickly raised his left hand, opening his palm like a child touching fire.

The pushed-aside Uzumaki Kurami was stunned and didn't even react until the pupils in his wide eyes were lit up by the white light. He watched in horror as the thick beam of light pierced through Kamihane's body.

"A pleasure to meet you. This is my greeting gift." Ōnoki smiled darkly, the beam in his palm growing even brighter. "Uchiha Kamihane!"

However, the next second, his expression froze completely, his pupils contracting in fear.

Kamihane's entire upper body was engulfed in the beam of light, the air resonating with the hum of flowing energy, but his body did not vanish into nothingness like his clothes. Instead, he stood firm, as solid as a pillar, bathed in the light of the Dust Release, impregnable.

His skin was gradually disintegrating, revealing his red, tender flesh. His hair was also dissolving like collapsing bubbles, and his life force was steadily evaporating. His refined muscles were gradually exposed, their textures and layers clearly visible, and though they were still disintegrating, the speed was slower than a snail!

Dust Release was a Kekkei Tōta, a bloodline that surpassed even Kekkei Genkai. It was said to dismantle matter, turning everything it hit into atomic particles, instantly reducing them to nothing, without exception.

But now, his greatest weapon, which had always been infallible, was meeting this situation!

Ōnoki's heart almost stopped beating. This was his greatest trump card, the source of his pride. Ever since he had mastered it and become a "Kekkei Tōta," he had never seen such a bizarre thing!

"Can someone really withstand Dust Release!?" He widened his mouth involuntarily, his pupils trembling. "What a terrifying physique!"

He could only maintain it for three seconds. As the white light between his hands slowly faded, the light beam twisted and collapsed, revealing Kamihane's blood-red upper body.

Ōnoki gasped for breath, his body slowly sinking, though his heart was unwilling, but this was his limit.

Dust Release was powerful, but it required a huge amount of chakra to activate. After all, it was a technique formed by merging wind, earth, and fire nature transformations. Although its explosive power was amazing, it was difficult to sustain.

"Is that all?"

Kamihane slowly spoke, his injuries gradually healing at a visible rate. With wisps of heat, his flesh recovered, and his hair regenerated. Brand new skin reappeared in a few breaths, as smooth and shiny as ever.

He had not used "Ame-no-Tokotachi" to revert his state. These injuries could heal on their own with his powerful physique alone.

The presence of the "Karma" mark allowed Kamihane to automatically recover from injuries without forming hand seals. With the Sage Body he had evolved by perfectly merging Hashirama's cells, his body's regeneration ability had reached a terrifying level. Reattaching severed limbs was a piece of cake.

"What a pity. If you had lasted a little longer, another ten seconds or so, I might have actually been dismantled by you..."

Kamihane raised a fist, his naked upper body as white as jade, the well-defined muscles bulging slightly, shimmering in the moonlight.

The next moment, he disappeared.

It was an extremely violent Body Flicker Technique, relying solely on his powerful body to break the sound barrier, instantly appearing on the other side. The sonic boom exploded like thunder, but his target was not Ōnoki. Instead, he appeared like a ghost behind the Second Kazekage.

At this moment, Shamon was still hidden in the massive sand sphere, avoiding a desperate attack from the cornered Uzumaki Nagana.

Earlier, he had not paid attention to the battle next to him. After all, in his opinion, the Mizukage and the Tsuchikage from Kirigakure and Iwagakure, respectively, possessed extraordinary strength. Dealing with two unknown members of the Uzumaki clan was a piece of cake. So, when Kamihane had first revealed himself, he had remained fully focused on the battle before him.

It wasn't until Ōnoki's "Atomic Dismantling Jutsu" had failed that he suddenly realized that the mysterious Uchiha Kamihane had arrived here at some point.

His entire body stiffened for no reason, his thoughts swirling.

That night over a decade ago, this guy had created chaos in Konoha with just a ghostly spirit body, playing the Five Kage at the time like puppets. Even he had been possessed and controlled by Kamihane, indiscriminately attacking those around him, making a fool of Lord Retto.

He was a cold and decisive man, strict internally and ruthless externally. When the First was still alive, he had already been the Second Kazekage's designated successor and should have been perfectly in charge, enjoying unlimited success.

But this incident had become one of his few dark histories. Every time he recalled it, he felt humiliated.

Hidden behind the shame was a deep-seated dread and hatred for Kamihane.

When Kamihane appeared here, the quick-witted Shamon instantly guessed Kamihane's intention in helping the Uzumaki clan—nothing more than to take advantage of their desperate situation and his identity as Shigure to extort benefits from the Uzumaki clan that he couldn't obtain through violence.

If he were to succeed, their long-planned extermination of the Uzumaki clan would be in vain!

Thinking of this, he immediately abandoned the dying Uzumaki clan leader, turned his attention to Kamihane, and began to gather chakra.

In his opinion, though Kamihane was powerful, they might not be unable to fight if they joined forces. Now that his true body was here, he didn't need to worry about the ghostly spirit attacks. If his body was strong, he could just seal it!

What's more…

After all these years, he, Shamon, was no longer the naïve youth he once was!

But what he didn't expect was that he had barely started to gather chakra when Kamihane appeared in an instant, and a punch landed on the sand sphere!

"Bang!"

A gust of wind swept through, sending the sand sphere high into the night sky.
