Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 208: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

Battlefield of Kikyo Mountain.

"This is...!?"

When Onoki and the others saw the figure in the distance, A, the candidate for the Fourth Raikage, immediately showed a face full of rage.

"Damn it! It's Uchiha Shirou!"

The name "Uchiha Shirou" sent shockwaves through the crowd. The Cloud ninjas in particular were burning with anger.

It was this man who had severed the arm of their Third Raikage with Chidori. Since then, Chidori had earned another name: Raikiri, the Lightning Cutter! Or to be exact, when Chidori advanced to its ultimate S-rank form, it became known as Raikiri.

Raikiri, the technique that severed the lightning of the Cloud ninja, was a humiliation to them.

"The Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Compared to the younger and more furious A, the older Onoki and Ebizō were instead reminded of memories buried deep in the past.

Especially Onoki, whose eyes revealed a hint of fear—fear born from the traumatic shadow of a certain Mangekyo Sharingan wielder from his memories.

"Mangekyo Sharingan! Space-time ninjutsu!"

Onoki glared intently at the distant Konoha ninja, his eyes bloodshot. Why does Konoha keep producing such terrifying shinobi?

...

"This chakra!"

Countless Konoha ninjas, even those without sensory abilities, felt the terrifying chakra radiating from the distance.

"Is this... chakra that a human can possess?"

In the Konoha ranks, many were stunned. A young special jōnin who had just been promoted stared at the figure in the distance in disbelief.

"It's like... like a tailed beast!"

"No... impossible! This level of chakra presence!"

While most of the Konoha ninja were shocked, those from the Uchiha clan, after their initial surprise, began to show expressions of fervent excitement.

"This is the power of the Mangekyo! This is the ultimate strength of the Uchiha!"

Even the legendary Sannin—Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade—showed expressions of astonishment in response to the overwhelming chakra radiating from afar.

"This chakra presence surpasses that of a Jinchuriki in the Four-Tails state!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim. He had witnessed the power of a Jinchuriki with four tails unleashed before and understood the significance of such a chakra level.

Even just fighting with this level of chakra would cause the earth to shake and mountains to crumble.

"This... is the power of the Sage Body and the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Orochimaru's golden snake-like pupils briefly flickered with astonishment, but it was quickly replaced with boundless greed. His pursuit of immortality stemmed from the fragility of life itself.

Immortality, however, was only a prerequisite for his true goal: uncovering the ultimate truths of the shinobi world.

"He was hiding his power all along!"

"Heh heh, it seems we can't let ourselves be underestimated..."

Under Orochimaru's hoarse laughter, the power of the cursed seal began to spread across his pale skin. While he hadn't fully mastered the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, he had become proficient in using the cursed seal-based version of Sage Mode.

Tsunade gave a cold snort, and her skin also became covered with dark purple curse-like markings. In an instant, the auras of both Tsunade and Orochimaru surged.

Only Jiraiya, wide-eyed and frustrated, stared at both of them.

"Again with this! You two never include me in anything!"

"Jiraiya, what did you even learn during those three years in the Land of Rain?" Orochimaru asked with a raspy laugh. His reasoning was simple: he hadn't had the time to fully master Sage Mode, and since the cursed seal was a shortcut, why bother taking the dangerous and slow path of Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode?

Science and experimentation were his ways of taking shortcuts. Through the cursed seal Sage Mode, he believed he would one day master Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode and achieve his ultimate goal.

Faced with Orochimaru's question, Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly, laughing dryly.

"Sage Mode still needs some time... it's hit or miss right now..."

Jiraiya was still far from mastering Sage Mode. It was fine while he was at Mount Myoboku, where there was support if something went wrong, but on a battlefield like this, one mistake could turn him into stone.

Orochimaru's uninterested gaze at Jiraiya almost made him want to crawl into a hole.

"No way! This chakra is still growing!"

In his cursed seal Sage Mode, Orochimaru's heightened senses immediately picked up on the change.

On the battlefield ahead, atop a giant protruding boulder, Uchiha Shirou stood in his white robes, his expression calm. The terrifying chakra around him stirred the air into fierce winds.

Having fully integrated the Sage Body, there was no sign of the cursed seal's appearance on him. Even his face and pupils showed no change.

"This time, perhaps I can test the true limits of my power."

His calm voice echoed, carrying an overwhelming aura of dominance that made the surrounding Konoha shinobi swallow nervously.

"This... this is the power of the Uchiha?"

In the distance, the allied shinobi forces surged like a black tide. Many of them also sensed this overwhelming chakra, but as shinobi with a mission, they roared fiercely.

"Charge! There are six thousand of us! He's just one man! There's no way his chakra can kill us all!"

"Attack!"

"Forward!"

In an instant, the allied shinobi forces charged forward, shouting battle cries as they launched their assault.

As the Konoha shinobi prepared to join the battle, Shirou raised his hand calmly.

"Have you all forgotten...? The Uchiha are masters of ninjutsu."

His light, almost casual words sent shockwaves through the Konoha ranks. It was only then that they remembered—the Uchiha clan was famous for their Sharingan and ninjutsu prowess, not taijutsu.

At that moment, the tomoe in Shirou's Sharingan spun and merged, transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Now, let me show you the power of the Uchiha!"

Facing the wave of charging ninja, Shirou's eyes burned with excitement. His blood was boiling. At this moment, he finally understood why Uchiha Madara seemed so arrogant—it wasn't just for show.

It was because the thrill of an intense, all-out battle was truly exhilarating!

"Ninjutsu barrage!"

"Explosive tags!"

In an instant, the allied shinobi forces launched a rain of kunai with explosive tags and a variety of ninjutsu attacks.

Standing high above, his white robes fluttering in the fierce wind, Shirou remained calm.

"Everyone, don't look him in the eyes!"

An experienced shinobi at the forefront shouted a warning, reminding everyone how to fight against a Uchiha.

But in the next moment, the sky itself seemed to change.

As the Shirou stood tall, looking down at the approaching allied ninja forces, a cruel smile appeared on his face. His hands had just completed a series of hand seals, and in the next instant—

Sage Art: Fire Release - Majestic Flame Annihilation!

From Shirou's mouth erupted a terrifying Fire Release technique. The sheer size of its range, coupled with the devastating power it unleashed along its path—

The flames poured down like a waterfall!

At that moment, the battlefield was illuminated by the fiery blaze. Both allied and enemy ninjas stood in shock, gazing at the scene before them.

"How is this possible?!"

"This isn't a genjutsu!"

"What level of Fire Release is this?!"

The flames surged skyward, transforming into a roaring inferno akin to a catastrophic flood. The overwhelming power left all the ninjas, both friend and foe, shaken.

"Quick! Water Release ninjas, defend!"

Amidst the chaos, a seasoned jōnin bellowed commands. Although stunned by the apocalyptic power of the technique, instinct, and fear of death drove them to act.

On the Konoha side, the faces of the ninjas were illuminated by the fiery glow. Even Jiraiya was left wide-eyed in astonishment, muttering in disbelief:

"The scale of this Fire Release surpasses even the Toad Oil Flame Bullet I use with Gamabunta!"

"Jiraiya, don't underestimate that Uchiha!"

In contrast, Gamabunta, who was usually arrogant, now had a solemn expression as the firelight reflected off his eyes. In a low voice, he said:

"I can feel the power of Sage Arts!"

"Heh heh, so this is the Sage Art that fuses natural energy?"

From a distance, Orochimaru's raspy laughter filled the air, his golden snake-like eyes gleaming with greed. Though his Curse Mark Sage Body was a crude imitation, what he saw before him was a perfect Sage Body—a true masterpiece.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

In a rush, Water Release ninjas from the Cloud, Sand, and Stone villages desperately cast every Water Release technique they could muster.

The terrifying sea of fire swept forward, consuming exploding tags, kunai, and other ninjutsu along its path. When the inferno reached the allied ninja forces, an overwhelming flood of Water Release techniques finally collided with it.

The clash between the roaring flames and surging waves erupted into a cacophony of sharp hissing sounds. The battlefield was engulfed in searing heat, and the intense steam created screams of agony as some unfortunate ninjas were scalded alive. The battlefield was shrouded in a veil of steam.

This Fire Release, both in scale and power, was nothing short of horrifying.

With Shirou operating at full power, augmented by his monstrous chakra pool and the perfect Sage Body, his Fire Release might not match Uchiha Madara's mastery—but with the boost from Sage Arts, this Fire Release was on par with Madara's strongest techniques during his prime.

"Everyone, stay alert! The enemy is advancing!"

Amid the swirling steam, a sensory ninja suddenly sensed movement and let out a terrified shout. The thick fog obscured their vision, but they could faintly hear Konoha forces roaring like a tsunami as they surged forward.

"Attack!"

Konoha forces launched their assault, their ninjutsu tearing through the air. Meanwhile, Shirou, who had already leaped into action after unleashing his Fire Release, transformed into a flash of lightning and infiltrated the allied forces hidden in the steam.

"Be careful! Another Fire Release!"

Within the engulfing steam, some allied ninjas caught sight of faint flickers of firelight above them and cried out in alarm. But in the next moment, they were horrified to find that the firelight was far too dense—there were too many flames!

Sage Art: Fire Release - Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!

Countless fireballs descended from the sky. Amidst the barrage of flames, Shirou's figure moved even faster than the fire itself, appearing within the allied forces like a bolt of lightning.

As he unsheathed the Kusanagi Sword, the fireballs crashed down one after another, each with a diameter of three meters. Enhanced by his monstrous chakra reserves and Sage Art, the normally simple C-rank Phoenix Sage Fire Technique unleashed devastating power, plunging the allied forces into chaos.

"Wind Release ninjas! Clear the steam!"

With a gust of wind, the battlefield's steam quickly dissipated, revealing a scene that left both sides in shock. The frontline of the allied forces had descended into utter disorder.

Shirou's overwhelming Fire Release had crushed their spirits, and now his position was at the very heart of the allied forces. Amid the chaos, the Konoha ninjas seized the opportunity to charge forward, and soon, the two sides clashed in fierce combat.

Amid the battlefield, a distant figure—A—let out an enraged roar:

"Damn it! Uchiha Shirou has grown even stronger!"

Shirou's domineering presence was like a tiger among sheep. With his full power unleashed, he moved like a flickering shadow, his blade cutting through enemy ranks amidst screams of terror.

No one could keep up with his speed!

Utilizing lightning-fast taijutsu and the precision of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Shirou could read every move his enemies made. Even when surrounded, he fought with ease, a calm smile on his lips that only deepened the Allied forces' shock and fury.

Meanwhile, on the slopes of Kikyo Mountain, the Konoha ninjas let out deafening roars as they fought the allied forces with wild fervor.

Jiraiya and his summoned toad, Gamabunta, unleashed their terrifying Toad Oil Flame Bullet, a nightmare for the battlefield. Yet even this attack fell short in scale compared to Shirou's earlier Fire Release.

Orochimaru's Manda rampaged wildly, casting an ominous shadow over the battlefield. From afar, Onoki and other leaders watched with wary and uneasy expressions.

"Arrogant fool!"

Just then, an enraged roar echoed from the distance. Amid the fearful gazes of the allied forces, the Cloud ninja's candidate for the Fourth Raikage, A, and Killer Bee charged forward, one on each side.

"Lord A is here!"

"Cloud ninja!"

However, as the two enemies approached, Shirou smirked with contempt. His mocking smile sent a chill down A and Killer Bee's spines.

Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique!

Suddenly, high-temperature ash and dust erupted in all directions. Caught off guard, the allied forces screamed in agony as the scorching heat overwhelmed them. A could only howl in frustration:

"Damn you, Uchiha Shirou! I'll break every bone in your body!"

On the battlefield, this was the stage for ninjas who were like walking artillery. Compared to the limited impact of a solo taijutsu charge, large-scale ninjutsu could devastate entire armies. Unless one was executing an assassination plan or leading an elite unit, nothing could match the destructive power of a single high-level ninjutsu user.

Jiraiya and Gamabunta's synchronized Fire Release attacks made them terrifying war machines on the battlefield.

"Konoha has produced another Mangekyō wielder. You cannot be allowed to live!"

As the two sides clashed with everything they had, the battle escalated into a full-scale war. The entirety of Kikyo Mountain, stretching for miles, became a blood-soaked battlefield where ninjas from both sides fought fiercely.

The Konoha ninjas unleashed unprecedented levels of determination, roaring and fighting with all their might. It wasn't just their fighting spirit at play—they were defending their home.

This time, the Konoha forces carried the weight of being the last line of defense for their homeland.

On the other side, Onoki, Ebizō, and A knew well that if they failed to take Kikyo Mountain in one decisive strike, they would be dragged into a prolonged war of attrition with Konoha. And that was a war they couldn't afford.

More than twenty years ago, during the great war of the Ninja World, Konoha faced off against the Four Great Ninja Villages, showcasing what it truly meant to be the most powerful ninja village in the world.

In terms of endurance, even when the Four Great Ninja Villages joined forces, they couldn't outlast Konoha. This alone speaks volumes about Konoha's overwhelming strength and foundation. Moreover, the Land of Fire is the most fertile and resource-rich land in the entire ninja world.

"Uchiha!"

When Ōnoki's figure appeared in the sky, a glowing Dust Release had already formed in his palm. His eyes, filled with intense killing intent, were locked onto Shirou below.

They could not afford to let such a dangerous and terrifying ninja exist any longer!

However, when Shirou raised his head and saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. His disdainful and commanding laughter echoed across the battlefield.

"Insignificant grains of sand—you're not even worth half of me."

PS: Shirou needs to study Madara's taunting skills.
