Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 230: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

"Lord Shirou!"

In the instant when the lightning flashed across the battlefield, the remaining Konoha ninjas revealed expressions of hope one by one. Especially Ebisu and Sarutobi Asuma, who had already lost all hope of survival, widened their eyes in astonishment.

"Damn it, hurry up!"

Kushimaru Kuriarare staggered backward in fear. Before the figure of the newcomer could be seen, the entire area was suddenly illuminated by a blinding lightning storm.

"Shuriken!"

Countless shurikens, crackling with arcs of electricity, poured down like a torrential rainstorm.

The relentless barrage of shurikens clanged loudly as they struck, forcing Kushimaru Kuriarare, Jinin Akebino, and Munashi Jinpachi to defend themselves in terror.

"Lord Shirou!"

In Sarutobi Asuma's eyes, the desire to live reignited. Filled with hope, he witnessed what was perhaps the most shocking scene of his life.

"The shuriken! Their target is to rescue us!"

The rainstorm of shurikens not only suppressed the three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but they also precisely severed the wires entangling the Konoha ninjas, freeing them.

The razor-thin wires snapped under the cutting force of the lightning-imbued shurikens.

"Ebisu, hurry and save them!"

Realizing the true intent behind the shurikens, Sarutobi Asuma urgently shouted. Ebisu, snapping back to his senses, immediately sprang into action.

Though both were utterly exhausted, the will to survive spurred an unexpected surge of chakra within them. Gathering newfound strength, they rushed forward to begin the rescue mission.

"Damn it!"

The sudden appearance of Uchiha Shirou left the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist enraged and alarmed. They immediately launched an attack in his direction.

Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!!

Even before Shirou's figure became fully visible, a dozen massive fire dragons roared toward him, forcing the attackers to focus on defense.

"Curse you! It's Uchiha Shirou!"

Elsewhere, Suikazan Fuguki, who had already fused with his sword Samehada, roared in anger. Enclosed in a massive water sphere, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was bloodied and barely holding on. He was moments away from losing all ability to fight.

A living son of a Hokage was far more valuable for extracting information than a dead one.

That was why Fuguki, from the very beginning, had unleashed his full power against Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"Minato... blub..."

Trapped in the enormous water sphere, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes were lifeless. Though he wasn't fully aware of what was happening, the sudden commotion made him think of only one person—Namikaze Minato.

"Haha, I thought I could keep you alive, but it seems I'll have to settle for just your head."

In his shark-like form, Suikazan Fuguki let out a cruel laugh. Despite his massive and bear-like frame, he was far more agile in water than on land.

"Is this the end for me..."

As the shark lunged toward him at high speed, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes burned with anger. Namikaze Minato had abandoned him to die.

To think he had rallied the entire Sarutobi clan to support Minato's rise to power, only to be left in the lurch. He even thought he understood why this betrayal had occurred.

"Die!"

But in the next instant, Namikaze Minato's yellow figure suddenly appeared before him within the water sphere. The sound of bubbles echoed as he materialized.

Namikaze Minato's eyes widened in shock. Upon sensing the Flying Thunder God kunai in Shinnosuke's ninja tool pouch, he immediately teleported to its location.

But this was underwater!

With a thunderous crash, the shark-like Suikazan Fuguki struck. Despite Minato's preparation, the water's resistance slowed his movements, and the shark managed to bite him savagely.

Minato's face twisted in shock and anger.

Not only had the shark devoured a significant portion of his chakra in the bite, but it had also left a massive wound on his torso near his kidneys.

Under normal circumstances, Minato would never have been caught off guard. But this time, he had arrived at the worst possible moment—right as Fuguki was about to clamp down on Sarutobi Shinnosuke. Even Minato's lightning-fast reflexes couldn't save him.

"Haha! It's the Yellow Flash! But this time, luck is on my side!"

Feeling the enormous chakra he had absorbed, Suikazan Fuguki laughed maniacally. This was his domain, and now his opponent was gravely injured. That bite alone had drained nearly half of Minato's chakra.

"This is..."

Though battered and preparing to counterattack again, Minato's incredible combat instincts kicked in. He retrieved a Flying Thunder God kunai and placed it between his palms.

Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!

In an instant, space distorted, and a massive suction force engulfed the water sphere. Before anyone could react, the enormous sphere of water vanished.

"Damn it! He broke my jutsu like that?!"

Fuguki growled in rage. In a split second, the water sphere had been transported far away. In the distance, a gigantic torrent of water crashed into the forest, creating a massive waterfall and submerging the area in a flood.

Back at the battlefield...

"Shinnosuke, are you okay?"

As the water sphere disappeared, Namikaze Minato supported Sarutobi Shinnosuke as they landed on a large tree.

Minato, pale and clutching the wound near his waist, anxiously looked at Shinnosuke.

"Cough... cough..."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's face was ashen. One arm was missing, and a deep wound from Samehada marred one of his legs. His body was covered in injuries.

"Minato!"

Upon seeing Minato, Shinnosuke, though weak, was overwhelmed by anger and resentment. He had lost an arm and could no longer be a ninja.

How could Minato, capable of the Flying Thunder God Technique, have taken so long to arrive at such a close distance?

"Kehehe, as expected of the Yellow Flash. You've arrived so quickly. I presume you've already destroyed our Mist Ninja base?"

In the distance, a splash echoed as Fuguki fell from the sky into the forest. His shark-like form landed on the ground, seemingly less threatening, but his laughter was sinister.

At those words, Minato's face darkened in fury.

"This was all a trap! From the beginning, you Mist Ninjas deliberately lured me away!"

At that moment, Minato finally realized that the information they had uncovered was part of the Mist's scheme—to draw him and his elite forces away.

"Haha! Now you've lost half your chakra, and you're injured. Let's see how long you can last!"

Fuguki laughed excitedly as his shark-like form began to recede. Samehada, his massive sword, once again rested in his hands.

Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed unpredictable, but this time, luck had been on Fuguki's side, allowing him to land a critical blow.

Suddenly, a blinding wave of lightning appeared in the distance, engulfing everything in sight.

"No! Impossible! Uchiha Shirou is supposed to be deep in Uzushio's territory! How could he have arrived so quickly?!"

When the flash of lightning appeared, Fuguki's face immediately changed drastically, filled with shock and anger.

However, he didn't realize that his words had only made Sarutobi Shinnosuke even angrier deep inside.

Even the Mist Shinobi knew that Uchiha Shirou had arrived from such a long distance, yet Namikaze Minato had fallen short.

Lightning Release: Chidori!

In the distance, under the flickering lightning, Munashi Jinpachi looked down at his abdomen in disbelief. The defense in front of him was shattered, and a hand was now piercing through his stomach.

"Damn it! Let's die together!" Knowing there was no chance of survival, Munashi Jinpachi, the wielder of the explosive blade Shibuki, a Mist Shinobi with twin braids hanging from his chin, roared madly and prepared to detonate his ninja sword.

The strongest self-destruction technique of the explosive blade Shibuki was to blow up its blade!

"Well done, Munashi Jinpachi!"

Seeing Munashi Jinpachi gripping Uchiha Shirou's arms tightly in a desperate attempt to perish together, the other Mist Shinobi were not angry but instead shouted in excitement.

"If you're so eager, then you can die with him."

In an instant, Shirou, along with Munashi Jinpachi and the explosive Shibuki, appeared right in front of them. This caused Kushimaru and another Mist Shinobi's pupils to shrink.

"Space-time ninjutsu!"

In their shock and fear, they tried to dodge. However, even though Shirou's arms were being held, he formed a one-handed seal and instantly unleashed an Earth Release jutsu.

Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Hall!

In a flash, a massive earth-style structure surrounded them. Inside, Munashi Jinpachi roared in anger, but the figure in front of him had already disappeared.

The Flying Thunder God Technique not only allowed him to transport others, but even if held, Shirou could still escape on his own.

A terrifying explosion followed its immense power destroying a large section of the surrounding forest.

"Uchiha Shirou!"

Amid the smoke and dust, Kushimaru screamed in pain. Even though he had used a defensive jutsu at the last moment, it was still unable to withstand the explosive blade's self-destruction.

When the smoke cleared, a figure suddenly appeared behind Kushimaru, causing his pupils to contract sharply.

"Only two? What a pity. Well, you'll be the third."

The Kusanagi Sword directly severed his arm, and the long blade Nuibari fell into Shirou's hands.

Severely injured, Kushimaru tried to flee in terror, but Shirou didn't give him the chance.

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

In an instant, countless currents paralyzed him. Before he could react, the last thing he saw was Shirou's calm expression and his headless body spraying blood.

"So fast... I didn't know my blood could spray this high..."

As he fell into darkness, the psychologically twisted Kushimaru, a product of the Blood Mist policies, was first shocked by Shirou's speed and then oddly fascinated by how high his blood could spray.

"So... so strong!"

In the distance, Sarutobi Asuma and Ebisu both stared at the scene in shock. In their eyes, such a powerful elite Jonin had been killed so easily.

Part of it was due to the massive gap in strength, and part was due to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Kakashi!"

Suddenly, with a flash of lightning, under the stunned gazes of Sarutobi Asuma and Ebisu, the chest of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Jinin Akebino, was pierced by lightning.

Lightning Release: Lightning Cutter!

"That's four!"

With a cold voice, Hatake Kakashi flicked his hand, still crackling with lightning, under Sarutobi Asuma's disbelieving gaze.

"Damn it! A sneak attack..."

Jinin Akebino, the wielder of the blunt blade Kabutowari, had bloodshot eyes but no strength left in his body. He rasped in frustration.

Kakashi's eyes showed no emotion. His Chidori had transformed further, evolving from its chirping sound to silent lightning due to the shift in his mindset after Rin's death.

In a single strike, Hatake Kakashi used this ultimate piercing technique to ambush and kill one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

In just a short moment, only three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist remained.

"Lord Shirou!"

At that moment, a booming sound erupted in the distance, and the burst of wild chakra drew everyone's attention.

"This is the power of youth! Lord Shirou, hurry and aid the village! Leave this place to us!"

Clad in green, Might Duy roared. His face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead—it was clear he had activated the Eight Gates Release Formation.

"What kind of jutsu is this?! Such violent chakra!"

Sixth Gate: Gate of View, Open!

Having opened the sixth gate, Might Duy roared furiously:

"Guy! Watch closely! This is the power of youth! The power displayed when protecting what's important to the village!"

Seventh Gate: Gate of Wonder, Open!

As Might Duy shouted, blue steam surrounded his body. At this moment, the observing Konoha Shinobi were all stunned.

"Impossible!"

"This must be why Lord Shirou said not to underestimate the power of Might Duy's youth!"

"Who knew Might Duy was this strong!"

"Father!" Might Guy, who had accompanied them, was shocked to see his father's fierce display. He had never imagined his father could be so powerful.

"Impossible!"

Opening the seventh gate put Might Duy's strength on par with a rampaging Kage-level figure, especially one proficient in taijutsu.

Konoha Adamantine Strength Whirlwind!

"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!"

Jūzō Biwa roared, lifting his Executioner's Blade to attack. However, against Might Duy's full-force strike with the seventh gate open, his pupils widened in shock.

Then came a deafening roar as Might Duy's powerful kick obliterated the obstacle in his path.

Daytime Tiger!

The sheer force of the pure taijutsu attack was directed at their largest target, Fuguki, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

"Dammit! I'll take you all down with me!"

Fuguki roared in rage. These insane Konoha Shinobi! However, just as he was about to go all out, Kurosuki Raiga suddenly shouted in alarm.

"Fuguki!"

His voice was filled with a mix of shock, fear, and rage, an overwhelming blend of emotions.

At the moment when it seemed like they were fighting desperately, Fuguki turned and fled, leaving Kurosuki Raiga alone to endure the violent strike.

Amid the terrifying roar, amid a devastated forest in the distance, Jūzō Biwa coughed up fresh blood in front of a massive, broken tree. Trembling, he gazed at the Executioner's Blade, which cracked and shattered with a resounding crack, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Damn it! How can they be this strong?!"

While Jūzō Biwa was still overwhelmed with fear, the sight of Fuguki fleeing far away enraged him all the more.

"Damn it! Fat shark, shameless coward!"

However, among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, only two of them remained in an instant. As for Kurosuki Raiga? He didn't think anyone could survive such an attack.

"Quick, support the village! The Mist's Three-Tails plan is rampaging in the village!"

Without any hesitation, Shirou shouted urgently at Minato Namikaze. Upon hearing this, Minato's face instantly changed, filled with shock and anger.
