Uchiha Izuna shrugged helplessly, then his gaze suddenly sharpened as he tossed out a kunai.
Swish, swish, swish! Immediately afterwards, four more kunai arrived first, even though they had been attacked later.
With a series of clanging sounds, the trajectories of the kunai changed, piercing through Aizen's every blind spot.
This dazzling kunai-throwing technique elicited screams from the children, and even the adult ninjas looked on with serious expressions.
The Uchiha clan doesn't have any kunai techniques, but to say that they can play with them to this extent is something many clan members would find difficult even if they awakened their Sharingan. What's terrifying about Uchiha Izuna is that he launched this level of attack without even awakening his Sharingan.
"Child's play."
With a cold remark, Aizen's eyes quickly turned red, and three black tomoe swirled around him. He lightly stomped his foot and leaped forward.
Aizen leaped into the air, swiftly catching the kunai in mid-air and tossing it back.
Da da da.
A dense array of kunai (Japanese swords) were planted in the ground.
Breaking Aizen's masterful kunai-throwing technique was effortless, as he effortlessly escaped the blockade.
Uchiha Izuna remained unmoved by this outcome, simply drawing his katana and swiftly deflecting the rebounding kunai. His body vanished from the spot with a gentle breeze.
"Since it's a friendly spar, we should warm up first, brother!"
Suddenly appearing beside Aizen, Uchiha Izuna laughed and slashed down with his sword.
Aizen's hands moved swiftly to the side.
"Fire Release: Ash Concealment Technique"
Aizen, his mouth bulging, turned his head and coughed, spitting out a thick cloud of hot dust that landed right in his face.
Wow.
Firelight mingled with smoke and dust.
"what!"
Uchiha Izuna let out a painful scream.
Upon hearing this, many spectators tensed up, their faces showing signs of anxiety and worry.
Only a few experienced ninjas, or those who had witnessed Izuna Uchiha's battles, shook their heads. The Uchiha's trump card was not something that could be easily taken down with a single level-one ninjutsu.
Sure enough, the scream was followed by a "plop" a second later.
The sound was replaced.
The pure white smoke stood out starkly against the dust, and a small piece of wood was quickly consumed by the flames.
"Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath Aizen's feet trembled as a hand pierced through it.
With a sharp tug, the pale right arm that had grabbed Aizen's left leg pulled him downwards, and with that force, Uchiha Izuna burst upwards from the ground.
"Uchiha Madara" – only his head was visible on the ground.
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Fire Release Clone Explosion!"
Bang! A violent burst of fire erupted.
Uchiha Izuna's pupils contracted, and he used a Body Flicker Technique to create distance, while simultaneously forming hand seals: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A single powerful wind technique blew away all the scorching smoke and dust.
"So that was Lord Izuna's Substitution Jutsu!"
"Does he even have the energy to use a substitution jutsu at this distance?"
"No, the truly powerful one is the clan chief."
First, he used Dust Concealment to force Izuna-sama back, then concealed his vision by creating another clone, and finally, spectacularly detonated the clone.
"Could a fire clone really cause such a powerful explosion?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of it before."
"What a fantastic battle!"
So far, neither of the two combatants has used any particularly advanced ninjutsu, but many clansmen have been greatly impressed and immediately began a heated discussion with shining eyes.
When Aizen reappeared before everyone, he was wearing a layered crimson armor. He stood with his arms crossed, watching Uchiha Izuna, who was breathing slightly in the distance, with a smirk on his face.
"Are you already tired?"
"No way!"
Uchiha Izuna, whose robes were slightly stained with dust and charred from the explosion, proudly raised his head, then stared at Aizen with a mixture of confusion and admiration, asking, "Brother, what was that... that exploding clone of yours at the end? Ordinary fire clones don't have that effect, do they?"
"Of course, this is my improved Fire Release: Clone Explosion."
Aizen's cold smile seemed tinged with smugness and delight as he explained, as if sharing a secret with his younger brother.
Sorry for the late update.
Last night, the author wanted to buy some late-night snacks but suddenly realized that he had run out of money on Alipay.
A little over ten days ago, the author was short of living expenses because of the new air conditioner. He thought the money from Alipay would last until he received his manuscript fee, but these past few days have been the payment days, and he still hasn't received it. During the day, he has to borrow money to make ends meet.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, there weren't many people I could lend money to. After a whole day of work, I finally managed to get some bread and instant noodles from the supermarket to tide me over for a few days.
Maybe they'll get the money tomorrow.

Chapter 94 Izuna's Imagination 6/8
The fire-style clone exploded.
This ninjutsu doesn't actually exist in the original work.
The Shadow Clone Explosion does exist; it's a ninjutsu created based on the Shadow Clone Technique, a creation of Itachi Uchiha, who was both a genius and a madman.
A shadow clone that can transmit pain back can self-destruct like that; only a truly ruthless person could pull it off.
However, the explosion of the fire clone and the big clone explosion have no similar principle; they are simply the same in terms of effect, with the fire clone being more powerful.
This is a brand new ninjutsu that Aizen attempted to improve upon based on the principles of Hado 31, the Red Fire Cannon.
The Crimson Fire Cannon is also a fire-attribute Kido. Even if a Kido like the Crimson Fire Cannon only fires a small fireball, its attack quality is stronger than the more destructive Great Fireball, and the fundamental reason is "explosion".
Currently, Aizen, who has mastered the top level of Fire Release and is proficient in Kido, possesses a doctoral or professorial level of theoretical knowledge in both systems.
Therefore, even though the two systems are not interconnected, he can still improve the Fire Release ninjutsu of the ninja system based on the aspects that can be learned from it.
Fire clones are a fire-attribute ninjutsu, so even if fire clones themselves don't have explosive capabilities, Aizen's modifications gave them the characteristic of fire explosions.
In this respect, it is even easier and more powerful than the Shadow Clone Explosion, and it does not have the side effect of pain feedback.
Unfortunately, this ninjutsu is not up to the advanced level in terms of danger of backlash, difficulty of training, or power.
It is still considered a high-level ninjutsu, but its practicality and power are quite considerable. However, it is still child's play for Aizen and even Izuna Uchiha.
"My brother is truly a genius!"
The admiration and respect in Uchiha Izuna's eyes grew stronger.
The surrounding clansmen all echoed in agreement.
The fact that a rather useless fire clone can be used in such a fancy way instantly elevates the value of ninjutsu.
"Hmph, the battle isn't over yet."
With a chuckle, Aizen's three-tomoe Sharingan quickly changed its pattern.
Uchiha Izuna's expression changed slightly, and he said warily, "It's just a sparring match, there's no need to use the Mangekyou Sharingan, is there?"
"Don't worry, I won't use my eye technique."
Aizen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Izuna breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is indeed very powerful, but in recent years he has discovered its drawback: his eyesight is getting worse with each use of the eye technique.
However, as long as the pupil technique isn't used too frequently in a short period of time, the problem isn't serious.
"Then I'll get serious too."
"Uchiha Style Sword Leaps in Flames!"
In an instant, Uchiha Izuna's eyes also transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, abandoning all pretense and charging forward to confront the enemy head-on.
The blazing katana and the subtle aura swirling around Izuna made his attacks incredibly swift.
Swish, swish, swish! Aizen's eyes darted up, down, left, and right, and with a flick of his right hand, a katana appeared as he charged forward.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Izuna showed a look of surprise.
In his memory, his brother had given up practicing swordsmanship a long time ago so that he wouldn't have to spar with him.
Even the use of a scythe was merely for the convenience of fighting against ninjas who possessed weapons.
Unexpectedly, Ban has picked up a katana again this time.
"However, Izuna is not the same as before, brother!"
Bang! Clang! Bang! The two quickly became entangled, slashing at each other with flashing swords.
Aside from the occasional flame effects that erupted from Izuna's sword, the clansmen almost mistook it for a duel between two samurai.
Even so, their battle was far more intense and exciting than any Jonin duel.
"How is that possible! To rely solely on pure swordsmanship."
He could fight me to a standstill, my brother's swordsmanship.
Is it that strong?
As the battle dragged on without a clear advantage, Uchiha Izuna grew increasingly alarmed.
However, only Aizen knew that he hadn't even used the full power of the One-Sword Style, nor had he used any of his unique techniques.
The difference in their swordsmanship levels was simply too great.
One is a level of swordsmanship, the other is a level of swordsmanship.
There are differences in skill level, the concept itself, and the rating system; it's a battle of skill.
Uchiha Izuna really is a pushover.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Talent might play a part, but in Aizen's view, the limitation of physical fitness was more important.
The physical attributes of people in the Naruto world are not suitable for sword techniques.
In Aizen's view, talent alone would make him an indispensable great swordsman in the One Piece world. Therefore, in terms of swordsmanship alone...
That is, the minimum required level for Kendo is 7th, 8th, or 9th dan.
This level of swordsmanship, combined with Uchiha Izuna's swordsmanship.
It's not impossible for his swordsmanship to reach a high level.
Just look at Zoro's three-sword style.
His three-sword style, combined with his advanced swordsmanship, directly reached the + level.
Aizen initially didn't think Zoro's Three-Sword Style was that high-level; he believed Zoro's strength lay solely in his high level of swordsmanship. However, upon closer examination, he realized that wasn't the case.
At least Zoro's swordsmanship level is no worse than before; he even has the Nine-Sword Style swordsmanship when his swordsmanship level is increased.
His skill set is even more comprehensive than Aizen's.
The reason he's weak is ultimately because Zoro himself isn't strong enough for Aizen, not because his swordsmanship isn't strong enough.
Two years ago, Zoro had already mastered the Nine-Sword Style and some of the secrets of the Three-Sword Style.
And then what? It was all for naught! They couldn't even defeat the dead Oars when they encountered the Moria Pirates, and on Sabaody Archipelago, they were still as weak as novices in front of Kizaru and Kuma.
Ultimately, their fundamental abilities were simply too weak.
Especially swordsmanship.
