Chapter 33

The aftermath of Akihiro's Nocturnal Bat Shadow Sharingan unfolded in a silence broken only by the dissipating echoes of the illusion. Madara, coming back to reality with his eyes wide with shock, could not contain her admiration for him.

Madara: "Akihiro, that genjutsu is amazing! I can't wait until I awaken my Sharingan and create my own."

Akihiro, still with a satisfied smile, recognized his brother's enthusiasm.

Akihiro: "You will make it, Madara. With your skills, it won't be long. Together we will be unstoppable."

While the brothers were having a brief conversation, a Jonin of the Uchiha clan materialized before them. With a sense of urgency, the Jonin conveyed that his father was seeking his presence. Nodding solemnly, the brothers acknowledged the message and quickly followed the Jonin to his father's residence.

Upon arrival, his father informed them that a messenger from the Hagoromo clan had urgently requested the Uchiha clan's help in the ongoing battle against the Senju clan. The seriousness of the situation was evident and the brothers, understanding the meaning of the summons, quickly agreed to acknowledge it.

With his father's nod, the Jonin messenger led the brothers into a private discussion, sharing the details of the request and the urgency of the Hagoromo clan's situation. The Uchiha clan was expected to mobilize quickly.

As the meeting concluded, the brothers quickly prepared for the impending battle, donning their armor and gathering their ninja tools. Once ready, they joined their clan mates, heading towards the designated meeting point with the Hagoromo clan.

Arriving at the meeting point, they encountered a sizable group of Hagoromo shinobi. Next to him was a man, apparently the same age as his father. After a private conversation between his father and leader Hagoromo, the Uchiha clan was informed of the battle plan.

His father turned to Akihiro and informed him that he would lead one of the four groups made up of members of the Uchiha and Hagoromo. Akihiro, expressing his understanding towards him with a solemn gesture, said goodbye to Madara, who wished him to take care of himself.

When Akihiro approached his assigned group, composed of around 30 shinobi, he introduced himself and stated his role as leader. Members of the Uchiha clan recognized his leadership without hesitation, but some of the Hagoromo clan, particularly a Jonin, questioned Akihiro's authority over him.

Hagoromo Jonin: "Why would a mere Uchiha boy lead us in battle?"

In a quick display of Sunshin no Jutsu, Akihiro materialized behind the Jonin, with a kunai aimed at his neck. The Hagoromo members, surprised by the speed, fell silent.

Akihiro: "I lead because my skills demand it. Does anyone have a problem?"

The Hagoromo Jonin, realizing the situation, accepted and refrained from pursuing the matter any further. Akihiro, satisfied that order was restored, ordered the group to proceed to the designated battlefield without further delay.

The large group, led by Akihiro, set out with determination, ready to face the challenges that awaited them on the battlefield. The air was thick with a sense of urgency, as the clash between the Senju, Hagoromo, and Uchiha clans loomed on the horizon.
