Ch-30: Uchiha style !

"Ninja Art: Fang Over Fang!"

Inuzuka and his ninken, Tetsumaru, transformed into a white whirlwind, crashing into two Amegakure ninjas ahead. Haruto followed closely, swiftly moving his wakizashi, severing two heads in one clean sweep.

Nearby, an Amegakure shinobi attempted to ambush them but was intercepted by Furukawa's bugs. Haruto ended the attack with a swift strike of his sword.

Despite being just genin, each of the three possessed significant talent. Coming from notable clans, they were well-versed in ninjutsu, each having received guidance from jounin within their clans and additional mentorship from powerful figures like Kato Dan. Their cooperative skill was strong, which gave them an advantage. Meanwhile, Amegakure's ninjas, although resilient, couldn't quite match the strength and finesse of shinobi from the larger villages like Konoha.

Just then, two Amegakure chunin joined the fight, turning their attention to Haruto and his team.

"Ninja Art: Rain of a Thousand Needles!"

Suddenly, an umbrella flew overhead, scattering countless senbon needles at them. Haruto prepared to knock them away using his Sharingan-enhanced wakizashi, but then Furukawa's voice rang out.

"Secret Technique: Insect Wall!"

A swarm of black bugs flew in, forming two shields that blocked the barrage of needles.

"Phew…" Inuzuka breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for Furukawa's timely intervention.

"Wait... something's off!" Inuzuka's senses picked up a discrepancy between what he saw and his sense of smell. He hurriedly performed a release jutsu to dispel the illusion.

But Haruto had already recognized it.

"Who dares use genjutsu in front of an Uchiha with Sharingan!" he exclaimed, charging at the tall Amegakure ninja with his short sword.

"Uchiha Style: Gale-Through Sword!"

However, the chunin from Amegakure wasn't like the earlier, weaker foes.

"Water Release: Water Whip!"

A water whip formed in the Amegakure chunin's hand, countering Haruto's sword with its surprising durability. But Haruto quickly pulled back and aimed a new strike at his opponent's neck. The chunin, however, managed to evade by stepping back slightly.

Using his Sharingan, Haruto observed a flaw in his opponent's movements, capitalizing on the opening with repeated strikes. Despite his best efforts, though, the chunin's superior physical strength eventually allowed him to counterattack, forcing Haruto into a defensive position.

"Running out of steam already? I'll still take down an Uchiha," taunted the Amegakure chunin.

Haruto shook his head. "I just needed some distance for my next jutsu."

He performed a series of seals, preparing to cast the strongest genjutsu he had mastered so far.

"Genjutsu: Bubble."

Just as the Amegakure chunin's whip made contact, Haruto transformed into a flock of crows, scattering in the air.

"Genjutsu... Release…! Damn it!" the chunin attempted to dispel the illusion but had to abandon the attempt as shurikens emerged from the crows, flying toward him. He quickly blocked them using his water release, but then Haruto, hidden among the crows, leaped down from above.

"Uchiha Style: Sword Leaping Flame!"

With a surge of chakra, Haruto unleashed a powerful, blazing strike from his sword, sending a wave of flames toward the Amegakure chunin. The water whip evaporated as it met the intense flames, and the Amegakure chunin was helpless against the searing attack, his body split and charred.

"Phew…" Haruto caught his breath, gazing at the burnt remains of his opponent before rushing to assist Inuzuka and Furukawa on their battlefield.

Ten Minutes Later...

"Secret Technique: Insect Ball!"

The Amegakure chunin who had tried the Rain of a Thousand Needles sneak attack was already gravely injured by Inuzuka's Fang Over Fang and a cut from Haruto. Now, surrounded by Furukawa's bugs, he succumbed as the insects overwhelmed him.

Having dealt with their foes, Haruto turned to survey the broader battlefield. Shirogane Tokinobu was locked in an intense battle with an Amegakure jounin, while the Konoha forces, relying on their preparation and superior skills, were beginning to secure the upper hand. The tide of the battle was turning in their favor.
