**************
The Cloud Jonin were occupied with Asuma and the others, leaving Horyu free to decimate the lower ranks. He knew he had to weaken their forces significantly before the Jonin could regroup and counterattack.
He pressed forward, his sword a blur of motion. A Chunin attempted a sneak attack from behind, but Horyu anticipated it. Without turning, he thrust his sword backward, impaling the ninja through the chest.
Another group of Chunin approached, this time more coordinated. Horyu smirked, his Sharingan analyzing their formation. He charged, feinting left then striking right, his blade severing limbs and spilling blood. The attackers faltered, their formation breaking apart under the relentless assault.
"Push forward! Don't let them regroup!" Horyu commanded, his voice carrying over the battlefield. His team responded, their movements precise and deadly, cutting down any who dared to stand against them.
A Chunin hurled a kunai at Horyu, but he deflected it with a flick of his sword, the blade glowing with the residual heat of his fire jutsu. He advanced on the ninja, who backpedaled in fear. With a swift strike, Horyu severed the ninja's arm, then finished him with a thrust to the heart.
The tide of battle was turning. The Cloud forces, demoralized and decimated, began to retreat. Horyu watched them flee, his expression impassive.
When Horyu felt the presence of several strong chakra signatures to his right, he understood the enemy's plan. He saw about twenty Jonin accompanied by a few thousand Chunin charging towards them. They had managed to arrive unnoticed again.
"We need to retreat!" Asuma yelled, but Horyu knew it was too late. He cursed under his breath and quickly assessed the situation.
"Keep them off. I'll deal with their reinforcements," Horyu ordered. Kurenai looked at him with concern, but she had her own opponent to handle. Horyu stood in the middle of the battlefield as the enemy closed in.
"Uchiha Horyu! Our Raikage wants your head!" one of the leading Jonin shouted.
Horyu grinned, blood on his blade and corpses around him. His smile looked devilish. "Come and get it then."
As the enemies came within range, Horyu raised both hands. All the fire on the battlefield obeyed his command, gathering around him. To everyone's shock, the flames formed a sphere around Horyu and the newly arrived Cloud shinobi.
The enemy's confidence wavered. They hadn't expected such a powerful and terrifying technique. The sphere of fire crackled and roared, making it hard for them to see or breathe. The heat was suffocating, and some of the Chunin started to panic, their eyes wide with fear as sweat poured down their faces.
"How heroic, you are trapped with us," the leading Jonin said, a smug grin spreading across his face.
Horyu chuckled, then erupted into full laughter. The Jonin's grin faltered, replaced by confusion. "What are you laughing at?" he shouted.
Horyu's eyes gleamed with a deadly resolve. "I am not trapped with you," he said slowly, his voice dripping with menace. "You are trapped with me." In the next second, he vanished like a ghost, appearing amidst the enemy ranks.
The Cloud ninjas barely had time to react. One moment Horyu was in front of them, the next he was behind them, his sword already cutting through flesh. Blood sprayed as he moved, each strike precise and lethal. The Jonin's eyes widened in shock as they realized what was happening. Horyu was using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. But there was something more. Every time he vanished, he left behind a faint glowing symbol. The battlefield was littered with these symbols, allowing Horyu to move freely, teleporting from one spot to another.
"Impossible!" one of the Jonin gasped as Horyu appeared behind him, the blade slicing through his neck.
"Watch your back!" another shouted, but it was too late. Horyu had already moved, his sword cleaving through another opponent.
The fire sphere around them seemed to pulse with Horyu's movements, each burst of flame coinciding with his deadly strikes. The symbols carved into the ground and trees glowed brighter, marking Horyu's path. The enemy ninjas' attempts to defend themselves were futile. They couldn't predict his movements, and the sheer speed of his attacks left them no time to react.
His movements were a blur, his sword an extension of his will. He parried a strike from a desperate Chunin, then spun, his blade slicing through the man's armor and into his flesh.
But what he was facing was a few thousand-strong Shinobi force with tens of Jonin. No matter how fast he was, the enemy wouldn't stand and die.
"Watch the marks. The fire carves symbols," one of the Cloud Jonin barked. "Earth Release users, disrupt the seals when they appear. Fire Release users, try to control the fire around. Water Release users, douse the fire. Don't let him kill you one by one."
Horyu's expression hardened as he listened to the Cloud Jonin's orders. He couldn't let them coordinate. With a swift hand sign, he activated his most intense fire jutsu. "Fire Release: Inferno Dragon!" he shouted, sending a colossal dragon-shaped fire attack roaring towards the enemy.
The dragon's flames licked the ground, incinerating everything in its path. Several Cloud Chunin were caught off guard and burned to ashes before they could react. The sheer intensity of the attack forced the enemy to scatter, breaking their formation momentarily.
"Earth Release: Mud Wall!" several Earth Release users yelled in unison, erecting barriers to block the dragon's advance. But the dragon was relentless, melting through the walls with a ferocity that matched Horyu's determination.
A group of Water Release users stepped forward, their hands moving in synchronization. "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!" they called, summoning a massive water dragon to counter Horyu's fire. The two elemental beasts clashed mid-air, steam hissing and obscuring the battlefield in a dense fog.
Horyu used the chaos to his advantage. With his Sharingan spinning rapidly, he identified the leaders among the enemy forces. In a flash, he teleported behind one of the Jonin, his sword poised for a lethal strike. The Jonin barely had time to react, his eyes widening in shock as Horyu's blade pierced his heart.
"There falls the head," Horyu muttered, pulling his sword free. He vanished again, reappearing amidst another group of enemies. His movements were a blur, his strikes swift and deadly. Blood sprayed as he cut through the ranks, each kill precise and calculated.
Trapped with his enemies within the domain of fire, Horyu charged with Chucky, his trusted Chakra Sword blazing with fire in hand. His chakra churned, controlling the fire like a god of flame. The intense heat from the surrounding flames made the air shimmer. He was surrounded by chaos, but his mind was a cold, calculated storm.
With swift, fluid movements, Horyu engaged the nearest enemy, his blade slicing through the air. The Cloud Chunin barely had time to react before Chucky cut through his torso, the flames searing the wound shut instantly. Blood sprayed, sizzling as it hit the ground. Horyu spun, his Sharingan capturing every movement, every flicker of fear in his enemies' eyes.
A Jonin lunged at him, hoping to take advantage of a perceived opening. Horyu sidestepped effortlessly, his sword finding the Jonin's neck with surgical precision. The Jonin fell, his lifeless body collapsing into the inferno.
"Is this all you have?" Horyu taunted, his voice echoing through the firestorm. His enemies hesitated, fear spreading through their ranks. He pressed forward, his movements a deadly dance, each strike leaving a trail of fire and death. Horyu became a blur, appearing behind enemies before they could react, his sword cutting them down without mercy.
A group of Chunin tried to coordinate an attack. They hurled kunai and shuriken at him, but Horyu deflected them with ease. With a swift motion, he launched a fireball at their feet, the explosion sending them flying. He darted forward, finishing them off before they could recover.
The heat was intense, the flames consuming everything in their path. Horyu felt the power of the fire coursing through him, amplifying his strength and speed. His chakra reserves were vast, enhanced by his new Uzumaki Chakra Seed. He was a force of nature, unstoppable and relentless.
