Chapter 18 - Sudden Attack

"Uchiha?!"

This symbol awakened her dormant memories, and scenes from the past flashed before her eyes, scenes of her fighting on the battlefield.

The cold orders of her clan members, the miserable howls of the enemy... seemed to echo in her ears once more.

"You are Uchiha?!"

As if triggering a chain reaction, her eyes snapped wide open, and her pupils instantly transformed into a sorrowful Mangekyo.

"Amaterasu!" Fine blood vessels appeared in her right eye.

A mass of Jet Black flames ignited on Shin'yu's back, spreading across his entire body in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!" Shin'yu screamed, shaking off Nanashi's hand, and the Body Flicker Technique was subconsciously activated, instantly darting him a dozen meters away, looking like a Monkey with its tail on fire.

Nanashi turned her eyes, and with a "whoosh," Uchiha Madara beside her was also immediately engulfed in Black Flames.

Blood seeped from her eye sockets, streaming down Nanashi's cheeks, and her originally delicate and gentle face now appeared ferocious and ruthless!

"I'm going to burn up!" Shin'yu cried out in a disfigured manner.

"Amaterasu," known as the Black Flames that can incinerate everything, will never extinguish unless the target is completely burned away.

Its temperature was terrifying, and Shin'yu's clothes dissolved instantly like cotton candy in water.

In less than a second, the skin on his back began to carbonize rapidly, and excruciating pain constantly stimulated his nerves.

He never expected that the seemingly docile Uchiha Nanashi would stab him in the back with a Sudden Attack!

But his mind had no time to think about that.

Years of combat experience had honed his reflexes to be extremely sensitive, and the moment he was injured, his eyes flashed with red light, and the Mangekyo in both eyes rotated simultaneously.

Finally, he mustered the last shred of reason and reverted his overall state to 2 seconds prior, the Black Flames extinguished instantly, as if they had never appeared, and his body was restored to its original state.

Uchiha Madara also easily resolved the "Amaterasu," a blue skeleton propped up around him, and the flames were completely blocked outside the body, disappearing along with the skeleton.

Nanashi seized the opportunity to pounce forward, her left eye's Mangekyo spinning eerily, meeting Madara's cold eyes.

"Tsukuyomi!"

Madara looked around, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically. The world was a blood-red color, and the original forest was gone, replaced by a battlefield littered with corpses. One after another, huge Torii gates emerged from the ground, surrounding Madara.

Countless Senju Ninja figures emerged from the Torii, staring coldly at the figure in the center, advancing with bloodstained steps, their swords and blades flashing with cold light.

The fear of death flowed in every inch of the air, and an ordinary person would be so frightened that they would wet their pants just standing there.

But... the person in the field was Uchiha Madara!

"Is this the despair you understand?"

Madara not only showed no discomfort but instead revealed a disdainful look. "Little girl, the real battlefield is ten times more tragic than this. Your Genjutsu can't even ignite my fighting spirit."

Watching the Senju Ninja charge towards him, he shook his head and chuckled softly.

"Forget it, let me give you a good lesson."

He slightly opened his eyes, and a darker, deeper, Hell-like power swept out in all directions like a cold tide. This was the Eye Power unique to the Eternal Mangekyo!

Under these eyes, the illusion shattered like an ice surface in an instant, and the blood-red world disappeared in a flash, leaving only a small figure flying backward.

Nanashi crashed into the stone wall, bleeding from all seven orifices, almost fainting.

"Never cast Genjutsu on someone with stronger Eye Power than you, even 'Tsukuyomi' will backfire."

Lord Madara spoke leisurely, with the same calm expression from beginning to end, without even moving a step.

Shin'yu instantly appeared beside Nanashi, and with a "chih" sound, a Chakra Blade was placed against her fair neck.

"Don't move!"

But he underestimated Nanashi's determination. She looked up and stared at him coldly, blood once again gushing from her right eye socket.

"Amaterasu!"

The temperature soared. Shin'yu, already aware of the danger, activated the Body Flicker Technique and moved behind Nanashi, letting the ball of Black Flames miss.

Even so, he was still hit on the finger by a wisp of flame, and the Black Flames quickly ignited his entire palm.

This time, however, he was much calmer, and his expression wasn't as pained. He only frowned slightly and used his power of Reversion to extinguish the flames.

Nanashi wanted to turn her head, but a hand suddenly fixed her head in place. Shin'yu leaned forward, his knee pressing hard against Nanashi's back, using his weight to keep her from getting up.

"Is this how you treat your savior?" he questioned.

"Savior? Heh, you just want me to continue being a weapon for the Uchiha, this puppet-like fate! I won't accept it!"

Nanashi's eyes were full of hatred. "I will kill you two, and then escape to a place where no one can find me!"

Shin'yu was slightly stunned. "Are you misunderstanding something?"

"Tap, tap, tap."

A pair of feet appeared in Nanashi's field of vision.

"Uchiha Hikari."

Nanashi was stunned. The moment she heard this name, all the expressions on her face froze, and it was as if an electric current ran through her mind.

"Uchiha Hikari!???"

She raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes wide, with a bit of confusion and a bit of surprise, reflecting Uchiha Madara's tall figure.

The man before her was too strong. She had just personally experienced his strength, the abyss-like pressure, and the terrifying Eye Power as deep as the sea, which she couldn't contend with at all.

"Yes, this is your real name, given to you by your parents," Lord Madara responded.

"My... name..." She stopped struggling and asked softly, "Who... exactly are you people?"

"We, like you, are people abandoned by the Uchiha," Shin'yu said helplessly.

"No, we abandoned them," Lord Madara corrected from the side.

Nanashi's expression was a bit dazed. From the moment she recognized the two's identity as members of the same clan, she subconsciously thought that these two had come to make her rejoin the war.

After all, for the entire Uchiha Clan, she was just a useful weapon.

Although those seals imprisoned time and space, her consciousness was clear! She didn't know how many days and nights she had been locked up, only that what was longer than life was endless emptiness and suffering.

In those difficult years, she gradually came to understand a truth: if she wanted freedom, if she wanted to live again as a person, she had to fight!

Fight for herself!

She didn't know when it started, but she had secretly made up her mind that if one day she could escape, the first thing she would get rid of was the confinement called the "Uchiha Clan"!

This was also the reason for her Sudden Attack.

"You... didn't you release me for the sake of war?" she asked blankly.

Shin'yu curled his lips, "The war you speak of is over. Except for Lord Madara and me, the entire Uchiha Clan has been turned against and integrated into an iron pot called 'Hidden Leaf Village', waiting for a slow death."

"Uchiha Hikari," Madara stood in front of the two, looking down and said, "In the name of the Clan Head, I announce that from today onwards, you are no longer a weapon, live as a person."
