"Uchiha!!?"

  This emblem awakened her dormant memories, ses of the past fshed before her eyes, depig her battles otlefield.

  The cold ands of her smen, the mournful wails of enemies... seemed to once again echo in her ears.

  "You are from the Uchiha !!?"

  As if some rea had been triggered, her eyes widened in a startled manner, and her pupils in an instant transformed into the somber kaleidoscope of the Mangekyō.

  "Amaterasu!" Thin blood vessels burst from her right eye.

  A pitch-bck fme ignited on Kamihane's back, spreading all over his body in the blink of an eye.

  "Holy crap!" Kamihane screamed, shaking off Nameless's hand, and instinctively activated the Body Flicker Teique, darting out more than teers in an instant, resembling a monkey with its tail on fire.

  Nameless rotated her eyes, and with a "whoosh," Uchiha Madara beside her was also immediately engulfed in the bck fmes.

  Blood oozed from her eye sockets, streaming down Nameless's face. Her inally delicate ale visage noeared fierd menag!

  "I'm burning up!" Kamiha out an undignified scream.

  "Amaterasu," known as the bck fme that ie anything, will never extinguish until its target is pletely burned.

  Its temperature was terrifyingly high. Kamihane's clothes dissolved like marshmallows in water.

  Ihan a sed, the skin on his back began to rapidly carbonize, and excruciating pain tinuously stimuted his nerves.

  He had never anticipated that the seemingly docile Uchiha Nameless would betray him and unch a sudden attack!

  But his mind had no time to dwell on that.

  Years of bat experience had honed his reflexes to extreme sensitivity. The moment he was injured, his eyes emitted a red gre, and the Mangekyō in both eyes began to rotate simultaneously.

  Finally, summoning the st shred of reason, he rewound his eate to two seds prior. The bck fmes instantly extinguished as if they had never existed, and his body returo its inal dition.

  Uchiha Madara also effortlessly ralized "Amaterasu." A blue skeletal frame enveloped his body, blog the fmes entirely, and both the frame and the fmes dissipated together.

  Seizing the opportunity, Nameless pounced forward, her left eye's Mangekyō spinning eerily, log gazes with Madara's cold, indifferent eyes.

  "Tsukuyomi!"

  Madara looked around, and the surroundings dramatically ged. The world was now bathed in a sea of blood-red. The forest that oed was no more, repced by a battlefield littered with corpses. Massive tates sprang up oer another from the ground, encirg Madara pletely.

  tless figures of Senju ninjas emerged from the tates, their cold stares fixed on the figure in the ter. Bloodthirsty, they moved forward, their swleaming with a chilling light.

  The fear of death permeated every inch of the air. An ordinary person would have been scared out of their wits just standing there.

  But... the man in the ter was Uchiha Madara!

  "Is this your uanding of despair?"

  Not only did Madara show no sign of disfort, but he also dispyed a look of disdain. "Little girl, a real battlefield is ten times mruesome than this. Your illusion 't even rouse my fighting spirit."

  As the Senju ninjas charged towards him, he shook his head a out a low chuckle.

  "Fine, let me give you a proper lesson."

  He slightly opened his eyes, and a darker, more profound, hellish power surged in all dires like a cold wave. This was the unique ocur power of the Eternal Mangekyō!

  Uhe gaze of these eyes, the illusion shattered like ice. The blood-red world vanished in an instant, leaving only a slender figure being flung backwards.

  Nameless collided with a stone wall, bleeding from all seven orifices, almost on the verge of fainting.

  "Never use genjutsu on someoh stronger ocur power than yourself. Even 'Tsukuyomi' be teracted."

  Madara spoke leisurely, his demeanor calm and posed from start to finish, not even moving his feet.

  Kamihane appeared instantly beside Nameless, and with a "swish," a chakra bde pressed against her pale neck.

  "Don't move!"

  But he uimated Nameless's determination. She raised her head, coldly staring at him, blood once again gushing from her right eye socket.

  "Amaterasu!"

  The temperature soared. Kamihane, already sensing it, activated the Body Flicker Teique, moving behind Nameless, causing the bck fme to miss its mark.

  Even so, a wisp of fme grazed his finger, and the bck fire swiftly engulfed his entire hand.

  This time, however, he remained much calmer, his expression not as pained, merely frowning slightly, using the power of reversal to extinguish the fmes.

  Nameless attempted to turn her head, but a hand forcefully gripped it. Kamihane pressed close, his knee firmly against Nameless's back, using his weight to pin her down, rendering her uo rise.

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

  "Savior? Heh, all you want is for me to tinue being the Uchiha's on, this puppet-like fate! I refuse to accept it!"

  Nameless's gaze was filled with hatred, "I will kill both of you, theo a pce where no one find me!"

  Kamihane was slightly taken aback, "Perhaps you've misuood something?"

  "Tap, tap, tap."

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

  "Uchiha Hikari."

  Nameless froze, and upon hearing this name, every expression on her face solidified, as if aric current had surged through her mind.

  "Uchiha Hikari!?!"

  She looked up, her almond-shaped eyes wide with a mix of fusion and astonishment, refleg the t figure of Uchiha Madara.

  The man before her was too powerful; she had just personally experienced his strength, the oppressive sensation like standing on the edge of an abyss, and the deep, sea-like terrifying ocur power, which were simply beyond her ability to resist.

  "Mhm, this is the name your parents gave you, your true name," Madara responded.

  "My... name..." She ceased her struggles and softly asked, "Who... are you people?"

  "We are the same as you, people abandoned by the Uchiha," Kamihane said somewhat helplessly.

  "No, it ho abahem," Madara corrected from the side.

  Nameless looked a bit dazed; from the moment she reized the two as smen, she had subsciously assumed they were here to pull her bato the war.

  After all, to the entire Uchiha , she was merely a useful on.

  Although the seals fined spad time, her sciousness remained clear! She didn't know how many days and nights she had been imprisoned, only that what was lohan her life was an endless void and torment.

  Through her difficult years, she gradually came to uand oruth: to be free, to live again as a human being, she must fight!

  Fight for herself!

  She had secretly made up her mind at some point that if she could ever break free, the first thing she would cast off was the bondage called the "Uchiha "!

  This was also the reason for her sudden violent outburst.

  "You... didn't release me for the sake of war?" she asked in a daze.

  Kamihane scoffed, "The war you speak of has already ended. Besides myself and Madara-sama, the Uchiha has beeirely subverted, blending into an iron pot called 'Konoha,' awaiting a slow death."

  "Uchiha Hikari," Madara stood firm before the two, looking down from above, "in the name of the leader, I decre that from today onwards, you are no longer a on; live on as a human being."
