Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 210: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

Kikyo Mountain.

"Three o'clock direction, relay the order for the Ninth Squad to provide support... The left flank, Inuzuka ninja, retreats and holds defensive positions... At the wind pass, occupy the advantageous terrain sheltered from the wind for battle. Be cautious: Iwagakure ninjas have specialized scent tools designed to target ninja hounds..."

"Cover Jonin Mishima's retreat for medical treatment... Push forward! Deploy five Water Release specialists..."

"The right flank is occupied by Sunagakure's elite puppet corps. Give Wind Release ninjas the chance to sever the chakra strings. Send reinforcements from the Aburame clan..."

At this moment, atop the mountain, Tsunade, clad in full armor and exuding an air of authority, was loudly and sternly issuing commands.

The chaotic battle of tens of thousands of ninjas posed a significant challenge for the commander. It required constant adjustments and arrangements to maximize their forces' advantages while ensuring that heavily injured allies could retreat safely.

This meticulous strategy aimed to minimize casualties and set the foundation for a sustained war effort.

On Kikyo Mountain, countless Katsuyu slugs were providing timely treatment to severely injured ninjas. Medical-nin were prioritized to treat Jonin first, followed by Chunin.

The commander's responsibility was not only to complete the mission but also to ensure the preservation of their forces' combat strength as much as possible.

"Tsunade-sama, Jonin Yuzo's condition is stable..."

As reports flowed in, Tsunade calmly surveyed the battlefield. Simultaneously, her chakra was being consumed at an alarming rate through the Katsuyu slugs.

However, the results were remarkable. Despite being at a numerical disadvantage, the Konoha ninjas managed to inflict fewer casualties than the combined forces of the three major villages.

"The chakra consumption is rising rapidly!"

While commanding the battlefield, Tsunade's tense expression gradually eased. The first wave of the enemy's offensive had finally been repelled.

For ordinary ninjas, the chakra consumption might have been overwhelming, but for Tsunade, she could still endure.

Ever since the fusion of Senju and Uchiha powers, her chakra reserves, already at their peak stability, had entered a period of explosive growth.

Her chakra capacity had nearly doubled. Combined with the Sage Transformation Seal, the quality of her chakra had significantly improved. In terms of chakra reserves alone, only Kushina in all of Konoha could surpass her.

Even Shirou trailed slightly behind her in this regard.

The battlefield had devolved into a stalemate. Jonin clashed ferociously, while Chunin screamed in a mad frenzy.

The titanic clashes of Kage-level combatants roared across the area!

At this moment, Shirou was locked in an intensely fierce battle against the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and the Fourth Raikage candidate, A.

"Damn it! He's too fast! My Dust Release can't catch him!"

Onoki's Kekkei Tōta, Dust Release, was undeniably powerful, but its activation required a brief preparation time. Against Shirou's extreme speed, it was nearly impossible to land a hit.

Hovering in mid-air, Onoki remained calm, constantly searching for an opening.

"Brat! Do you have any jutsu that can trap him?" Onoki's shadow clone, perched on A's back below, shouted urgently while preparing another technique.

However, A's frustration was written all over his face.

"We Cloud ninjas excel at speed and offense, not control!"

Both sides moved at such extreme speeds that, without Onoki's Lightened Boulder Jutsu greatly enhancing his agility, A would have been unable to keep up.

Meanwhile, Shirou's Mangekyo Sharingan spun continuously, pushing his dynamic vision to its limits.

"One Onoki, and one Future Fourth Raikage who isn't even in his prime... Yet the two of them together have pushed me to this extent?"

Shirou was shaken when he considered the legendary strength of Uchiha Madara. Even when faced with the combined forces of the Five Kage, Madara had toyed with them effortlessly.

Of course, during that time, Madara had also awakened the Rinnegan and possessed Wood Release, but it still highlighted the vast gap in strength between them.

Now, with his Sage Body activated, Shirou's skill in ninjutsu rivaled that of Jiraiya in Sage Mode. With his immense chakra reserves, his endurance was even greater.

In terms of taijutsu, his Lightning Release-based fighting style made him one of the strongest in the ninja world. Currently, only the Third Raikage, an Eight Gates-activated Might Duy, and the future Fourth Raikage A could match him in close combat.

Overall, Shirou's combat strength was approaching the ceiling of Kage-level power.

If one were to classify beyond Kage-level, it would include titans like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama during the Valley of the End battle—who could effortlessly control the Nine-Tails. Such strength defined the Super Kage tier.

Nagato, with the Rinnegan, could only qualify as a half-Super Kage due to his weakened physical state and the fact that the Rinnegan wasn't originally his.

"Damn it! Uchiha Shirou, don't get too arrogant!"

The future Fourth Raikage, A, was pushed to the brink of rage. With a furious roar, the Lightning Release chakra around his body flared even more violently.

At the same time, numerous enemy ninjas attempted sneak attacks. After all, the combined forces of the three great villages still held the advantage in sheer numbers.

"Annoying pests!"

Irritation flashed across Shirou's face as the surrounding enemy ninjas made their moves. In an instant, bolts of lightning blazed around him.

Sage Art: Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

A surge of electricity erupted from him, striking down the Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas who had attempted to ambush him.

"Damn it! This fight isn't for you. Get out of here!" A roared furiously, rushing to rescue his comrades. But Shirou suddenly swung his Kusanagi blade, unleashing countless bolts of electricity.

Sage Art: Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon!

The Chidori transformed into a barrage of sharp needles, piercing through numerous defensive Earth Walls and Water Barriers. The ninjas behind them screamed in agony.

Lightning Release naturally countered Earth Release and was conducted through Water Release. With the addition of Sage Chakra, the amplified power of the attack rendered ordinary defenses completely useless.

"Uchiha Shirou!"

A let out a furious roar as he threw himself forward. His metal arm guard collided with the Kusanagi blade in a desperate attempt to overpower Shirou. However, at that moment, Shirou's Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly narrowed.

"Not good!"

Just as his Mangekyo detected something amiss, golden sand shot up from the ground in an instant, wrapping tightly around his legs and rapidly spreading toward his body.

"Gold Dust! It's Rasa from Sunagakure!"

Seeing the Gold Dust binding him tightly, Shirou realized that if not for the terrifying Lightning Release chakra surrounding him, which was constantly breaking down the sand, he would have already been completely restrained.

"You've fallen into our trap!" Onoki and A appeared simultaneously, one in front and one behind.

Earth Release: Super-Weighted Boulder Jutsu!

Onoki's hand touched Shirou, releasing the terrifying jutsu. Instantly, the ground beneath Shirou cracked as his body's weight dramatically increased.

Not only his physical weight but even his chakra became heavier!

Chakra possesses mass. When it reaches a certain density, massive amounts of chakra can generate physical weight. For instance, Naruto in his early Four-Tails form found himself unbearably heavy, and Minato remarked on the oppressive weight of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Onoki!"

At the same moment, A appeared behind Shirou, locking him in a crushing bear hug. He raised his head and roared at the sky.

"Konoha genius! This ninja world has no place for someone like you!"

Above them, Onoki's true body shouted as dazzling white light formed in his palms.

Below, Shirou was immobilized. His legs and lower body were bound by Gold Dust, A held him in a death grip, and Onoki loomed ahead.

"To think Rasa was hiding amongst them all this time!"

In the face of this deadly situation, Shirou's realization dawned. The chaotic battlefield, filled with countless chakra signatures, had masked Rasa's presence entirely.

"It appears to be a Shadow Clone!"

As the Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, Shirou, bound and seemingly facing certain doom, calmly glanced behind him.

The Ōnoki in front of him was a Shadow Clone, which meant the one behind him must also be the same.

"Uchiha Shirou, with your strength at such a young age, letting you continue to grow would be terrifying. I have no choice but to mercilessly end you here!"

At that moment, the Ōnoki Shadow Clone before him shouted resolutely. If Shirou were merely a genius of the level of the Legendary Sannin, he might have accepted it and even helped him gain fame. After all, it would only create chaos for Konoha!

But Shirou's Mangekyō Sharingan, combined with his terrifying strength, reminded Ōnoki of the fear that once gripped the ninja world under Uchiha Madara's dominance.

Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!

In an instant, dazzling white light flashed across the heavens and earth. A massive, transparent, cube-shaped energy field appeared. The battlefield erupted in shock from both sides.

In the original story, Ōnoki used this very technique to obliterate 25 wood-clone Susano'o warriors of Uchiha Madara in one attack, demonstrating its overwhelming power.

"The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release!"

"No! Lord Shirou is in danger!"

As the ninja from both sides exclaimed in alarm, Ōnoki, floating in the sky and preparing to release his technique, flushed red in the face, his eyes revealing a sense of relief.

However, the white light abruptly and visibly vanished. At that moment, the ninja on both sides were still clueless about what had occurred. Ōnoki's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Impossible! This is my ultimate Dust Release!"

While the other ninjas were confused, Ōnoki understood better than anyone that his technique hadn't even fully activated.

"Dust Release, the Kekkei Tōta technique, truly lives up to its reputation of surpassing Kekkei Genkai. But unfortunately, your vision extends only this far. Now, let me show the ninja world that the Mangekyō is above the Kekkei Tōta!"

The voice was calm yet resounded clearly throughout the battlefield. Despite its tranquility, it carried an undeniable aura of dominance.

On the battlefield, Shirou, who was trapped by golden sand, the future Fourth Raikage A, and Ōnoki's restraints, had his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning in his right eye, with blood tears streaming down his face.

"You've all heard of the Uchiha clan's eyes ability, haven't you?"

Suddenly, the corners of Shirou's mouth curled into a mocking smile. The Ōnoki Shadow Clone before him had its pupils shrink at the sight.

In the next moment, Shrou's Mangekyō Sharingan emitted a sinister glow, and the Dust Release technique, which had been absorbed, reappeared in front of him.

"This eye technique, I, Uchiha Shirou, name it 'Ethereal Deflection'!"

Boom!

A dazzling white light exploded in front of everyone. Ōnoki's terrifying Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique suddenly reappeared within their sight.

"No!"

At that moment, everyone on the battlefield was shocked beyond belief. What was happening!?

"The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release was reflected!"

"No! The Dust Release was absorbed first, then reflected!"

As the blinding white light dissipated, the battlefield revealed a massive, perfectly flat expanse of land, as if a chunk had been surgically removed.

"Cough, cough, that was close! Just barely escaped!"

In the distance, Rasa, retreating frantically underground, stared in terror at the sight of a corner of his clothing disintegrated by the white light.

Just a little closer, and he would have perished to the Dust Release technique.

"What a shame. The rat hiding in the sand sure runs fast."

From afar, Shirou's hoarse laughter carried a sense of disdain, as if everything before him was insignificant.

"No! This isn't a reflection! It's a spatial eye technique!"

From a distance, Chiyo's brother, Ebizō, who had been silently observing the battlefield, suddenly shouted with a grim expression, as if he had uncovered something.

"Rasa, Ōnoki, and that brat from the Cloud Village, be careful! Don't use large-scale energy-based ninjutsu! His right eye's ability creates a space tunnel and releases attacks from another dimensional exit!"

Ebizō's urgent warning relayed crucial information about Shirou's eye technique to the battlefield. Upon hearing this, Konoha's ninja felt a surge of morale and cheered.

This was their Konoha powerhouse!

Meanwhile, the Allied Shinobi Forces grew increasingly disorganized.

"After all that planning, we finally lured this Uchiha monster to where the gold sand was buried, and now the Mangekyō turns out to be this ridiculous!"

Up in the sky, Ōnoki, unable to suppress his shock, felt his scalp tingle and blurted out his thoughts.

However, upon hearing their analysis of his eye technique, Shirou instead smiled faintly.

"Well then, why don't you guess whether your interpretation of this technique is correct?"

"A, Rasa! We need to attack together while Uchiha Shirou is still restrained! I don't believe that pure physical strength can also be reflected in energy-based techniques!"

Ōnoki, being an experienced and seasoned Kage-level fighter, immediately roared as he launched another attack.

Earth Release: Rock Golem Jutsu!

In an instant, a massive stone giant rose from the ground, an awe-inspiring sight that left both sides of the battlefield in shock.

Even Tsunade, commanding from Kikyo Mountain, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the sight of the technique, "Ōnoki's fighting spirit has surpassed the Third Hokage's!"

Among the Third Kages, Ōnoki's display today far outshone the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Uchiha Shirou!"

At this moment, the future Fourth Raikage, A, roared as he appeared in person. Seizing the opportunity while Shirou was still restrained, he unleashed his most powerful attack.

Weighted Boulder: Lightning Guillotine Horizontal Dance!

"Don't underestimate us Sand Shinobi!"

Rasa shouted angrily. Back during the Land of Rain battle, their strength was about evenly matched, though Rasa had lost due to inferior intelligence and terrain. But now, the gap between their abilities has grown significantly.

Magnet Release: Gold Sand Giant!

With a clap of his hands, Rasa summoned the buried gold sand beneath the ground, quickly forming a giant comparable in size to the rock golem.

The gold sand giant and the rock golem both raised their enormous fists, preparing to crush Shirou with overwhelming force.

Meanwhile, Shirou, still restrained and facing the full-force attack of the future Fourth Raikage, seemed to have no escape.

Yet, despite the seemingly hopeless situation, the corners of Shirou's mouth curled up slightly, and a glint of unprecedented excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Gold sand and rock giants, huh?"

As his deep, excited voice echoed across the battlefield, the two giants and the future Fourth Raikage's attack descended upon him.

The deafening roar of impact shook the battlefield. However, the ninjas on both sides were left stunned, staring in shock at the scene before them.

"This... this is what Kage-level combat looks like!"

"This... this isn't a fight we can interfere with..."

Amidst the thunderous noise and endless dust cloud, Rasa and Ōnoki's faces both changed drastically.

"Damn it!"

Amidst the swirling dust and smoke, a furious roar burst forth from the future Fourth Raikage, A!

A fierce gale swept through the haze, revealing the scene of the battle.

A massive, crimson giant had appeared, displaying the terrifying image of three heads and six arms. Four of its hands firmly grasped the falling golden sand and the stone giant's severed arms.

"Susanoo!"

On the battlefield, the only person who had witnessed such a terrifying giant before was Onoki. As Susanoo emerged, a single figure flashed through his mind.

"Incredible! Even Susanoo has been awakened!"

Second Stage of Susanoo!

Although only its upper body had materialized, its skeletal frame was already covered in chakra-infused flesh and blood.

Inside the Susanoo, Shirou—his Mangekyo Sharingan spinning with a swastika pattern—revealed a bloodthirsty, excited smile.

"Did they manage to withstand it? It seems that after infusing Susanoo with the Thunder God Armor and Sage Chakra, its durability has increased significantly!"

"Then, let's begin Round Two!"

His domineering voice echoed across the battlefield. At this moment, Onoki, Rasa, and even the future Fourth Raikage, A, were all filled with shock.

In the original story, Sasuke was able to enhance Susanoo by injecting Jugo's Cursed Seal power into it. Likewise, Shirou was able to achieve this, but with an additional upgrade: the defensive Thunder God Armor. Although this increased chakra consumption significantly, the results were clear.

Even Madara's Susanoo at this stage had been repeatedly shattered by the Raikage. But this time, Shirou's enhanced Susanoo held firm, proving the success of his reinforcement.
