Not far from where Tsunade was locked in battle with Uchiha Keizan lay the underground arena where Yuya and Uchiha Han were engaged in their life-and-death duel.
By now, the fight between Yuya and Uchiha Han had already reached a fever pitch.
The moment the battle erupted, Yuya exploded forward at full speed, charging straight at Uchiha Han.
With two of the True Eight Gates opened, Yuya's speed was nothing short of terrifying.
Whoosh!!
In an instant, his body all but turned into an afterimage.
It was difficult to track him even with the naked eye.
Uchiha Han had already paid dearly once for underestimating Yuya. This time, he showed no trace of carelessness.
He activated his Sharingan immediately.
In his eyes appeared a pair of two-tomoe Sharingan.
Though not yet at the three-tomoe stage, it was more than enough to clearly capture Yuya's movements.
Whoosh!
The instant Yuya flashed to Han's side and threw a punch, Han rapidly formed hand seals, and his body abruptly transformed into a wooden log.
Substitution Technique!
After narrowly evading Yuya's blow, Uchiha Han reappeared behind him.
With a sharp motion, he drew a short sword and slashed viciously toward Yuya's neck.
Faced with the strike, Yuya neither dodged nor turned around.
Instead, he simply drove a fist backward.
Crack!!
The air itself seemed to fracture like glass, splitting with visible fissures.
The short sword halted abruptly.
It stopped just an inch away from Yuya's fist—unable to advance even the slightest bit.
That single inch became an insurmountable chasm.
Boom!!
In the next instant, as the vibration force erupted violently, Uchiha Han spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yet in the following moment, Han's body dissolved into smoke.
A Shadow Clone!
Yuya frowned slightly, his eyes flickering as he searched for Han's real body.
Then—
Uchiha Han suddenly appeared directly in front of him, hands locked in a seal.
At the same time, the two tomoe in his Sharingan spun rapidly.
Genjutsu!
Their gazes met head-on.
In the next moment, Yuya's expression went blank, his body frozen in place.
"It's over."
"Hmph. Once Han uses Sharingan genjutsu, that brat never stood a chance."
The Uchiha clan members watching from the upper corridors narrowed their eyes, cold killing intent flashing within them.
Opposite them, the three ANBU operatives watched silently from behind their masks.
Beneath those masks, their expressions remained impassive—but a faint trace of regret flickered in their eyes.
"What a pity."
"Yes… such a powerful Kekkei Genkai, yet no chance to grow."
Under everyone's gaze, Uchiha Han looked down at Yuya arrogantly, a sneer spreading across his face.
"So what if you awakened a Kekkei Genkai? In front of me, you're still just a brat."
"And when it comes to bloodline limits, nothing surpasses the Uchiha clan's Sharingan."
With a cold snort, Han casually hurled his short sword straight toward Yuya's chest.
Then he turned away—
as if he had already seen Yuya being pierced through the heart.
But in the next instant—
BOOM!!!
A fist wrapped in pale white light slammed violently into the air.
Terrifying vibration waves roared outward in all directions.
The short sword Han had thrown instantly slowed, as if trapped in thick mud, inching forward before stopping completely—unable to advance any further!
Then came a chilling sound—
Crack! Crack!
The blade twisted grotesquely before being forcibly crushed into a mangled spiral by the vibrations!
"That's impossible!!"
Uchiha Han stared in disbelief as Yuya calmly withdrew his fist.
Yuya had broken his Sharingan genjutsu?!
How was that even possible?!
In that instant, not only Han, but the Uchiha observers and even the ANBU operatives all cried out in shock.
"He didn't form a single hand seal—how did he break the genjutsu?!"
"To dispel genjutsu, chakra flow must be restored… could it be that his vibration force can shake his own chakra?!"
One of them murmured, while the others stared in utter astonishment.
If that were true…
Didn't that mean Yuya could resist—or even nullify—all genjutsu?!
It was absurd!
How could such a perfect Kekkei Genkai exist?!
Against that vibration force, taijutsu was useless. Ordinary ninjutsu was shattered effortlessly.
And now—even genjutsu could be broken with ease.
Unbelievable.
"The Uchiha's genjutsu… is nothing special."
Yuya looked at Uchiha Han with a faintly mocking smile.
In truth, he hadn't even broken the genjutsu.
It had simply been rendered ineffective.
Yuya's chakra circulation was fundamentally different from that of ordinary shinobi.
He possessed two chakra cores.
One in his heart.
One in his lower abdomen.
Interfering with his chakra flow to cast genjutsu on him was already exceedingly difficult.
And on top of that, he had vibration force capable of forcibly shattering any interference.
In the next instant, Yuya burst forward.
Whoosh!!
He appeared directly above Uchiha Han, raising his palm high as pale light gathered within it.
He slammed downward.
"Vibration Release: Collapse!"
Hummmm!!
Though his palm struck only the air, the vibration force detonated outward, engulfing everything beneath it.
BOOM!!
Uchiha Han's expression changed drastically.
Because his genjutsu had been broken so abruptly, his momentary shock allowed Yuya to close in.
The situation instantly became one of life and death!
At such a critical moment, Han didn't dare hesitate.
Enduring the crushing vibration force, he desperately formed hand seals.
Escaping the area was impossible—the entire zone had already been suppressed.
"Earth Release: Earth Substitution Technique!"
His entire body convulsed violently, bones on the verge of shattering.
At the final moment, the jutsu activated.
Han's body sank straight into the ground and vanished.
Yet even so, dark bloodstains were left splattered across the soil.
Crack!!
The earth below Yuya fractured like a spiderweb, fissures spreading rapidly in all directions.
BOOM!!
The ground finally collapsed, forming a massive crater.
Yuya landed lightly, his gaze flickering.
"…To think he could still use Earth Release under direct vibration impact."
