The Uchiha defenders at Hagoromo Castle stood their ground, despite being outnumbered. Their commanding position gave them an advantage, but it wouldn't last forever.
Sitting cross-legged near the rear, Nara Fukaku, leader of the Nara clan, and Yamanaka Tomoya, leader of the Yamanaka clan, coordinated the battlefield strategy through mind communication techniques.
Fukaku's thoughts transmitted directly to the field commanders:
"Scattered attacks aren't working. We need a focused strike."
"Close combat makes us easy targets for Uchiha's Fire Release. Akimichi and Hyuga, hold position."
"We need powerful, long-range attacks to breach their gates. Chief Sarutobi, it's time."
Sarutobi Furukawa, leader of the Sarutobi clan, nodded.
"Understood. I'll need cover. Protect us while we prepare."
"Secret Technique – Orc Clone: Two-Headed Wolf!"
The Inuzuka clan's second-in-command, Inuzuka Hen, and his ninja hound merged into a gigantic two-headed wolf, tearing forward in a spinning assault.
"Fang Over Fang!!!"
A spiraling vortex of pure destruction surged toward the castle gates like a living missile.
From the walls, Uchiha Sora watched with disdain.
"It's just a big mutt drooling everywhere."
Yet, he recognized the destructive power behind it.
Sora jumped down, forming a shadow clone beside him.
Both clones began rapidly channeling Wind Release chakra into a concentrated point in his right hand.
A shuriken-like vortex formed, releasing a piercing screech.
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!!!"
This was Izuna's signature move, passed down to trusted Uchiha veterans.
Unlike Izuna, Sora needed clones to form it and couldn't throw it, but it was still a deadly S-rank jutsu.
"HAAAH!!!"
Sora slammed the Rasenshuriken into the incoming Two-Headed Wolf attack.
The clash of wind chakra created a massive shockwave, forcing everyone on the battlefield to cover their ears.
A huge blue-and-white explosion burst outward.
The massive wolf-form of Inuzuka Hen shattered, sending him and his ninja hound flying backward.
Their bodies crashed into the ground, reverting back to their original forms, now covered in razor-thin wounds from the Rasenshuriken's devastating wind chakra.
"YES!!!"
The Uchiha forces erupted in cheers.
"Lord Sora is unbeatable!!!"
"The Three Clans Alliance is nothing before us!"
"Burn them all down! For Uchiha!!!"
Though Sora's right arm throbbed from the immense strain, he smirked triumphantly.
But then—his expression darkened.
A shadow appeared in the air near the city gates.
Two figures.
Sarutobi Furukawa.
Shimura Keizo.
They had somehow bypassed the Uchiha defenses and were now within striking distance of the gates.
Sora's eyes widened in realization.
"They hid inside the fur of the Two-Headed Wolf…!"
The Inuzuka attack was just a diversion—they had used the moment of impact to launch themselves forward.
Sarutobi Koga and Shimura Keizo formed seals rapidly.
Furukawa: "Fire Release: Sky Burial Absolute Flame!!!"
Keizo: "Wind Release: Violent Gale!!!"
Their massive chakra reserves surged, amplifying their combined jutsu into a catastrophic inferno.
It was a strategy Uchiha often used—but now, it was being used against them.
Sora, still in midair, shouted in desperation:
"Defend the city! Use everything you have!!!"
The Uchiha forces unleashed their own counterattacks:
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Lightning Release: Chidori Spear!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
But the enemy's combined attack was too powerful.
The massive firestorm, supercharged by Keizo's Wind Release, tore through their defenses.
A deafening BOOM erupted.
The gates of Hagoromo Castle were obliterated.
A violent shockwave knocked dozens of Uchiha off the walls, sending them crashing below.
When the smoke cleared, an enormous breach was visible in the fortress walls.
Amidst the rubble, Uchiha soldiers frantically searched for their commander.
"Lord Sora!!!"
Finally, they found him.
Sora lay in the wreckage, bloodied, struggling to breathe.
His right leg… was completely destroyed.
A young Uchiha rushed forward.
"Sir! Your leg…!"
Sora, barely conscious, forced his eyes open.
His first words were not of pain, but duty:
"Forget about me… defend the city!"
