Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 204: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

"Is this the extent of your strength!?"

Staring at the water walls that had appeared on both sides to block his ninjutsu, Shirou's face was full of sarcasm. Holding the Kusanagi Sword, which crackled with lightning, he directly stabbed at one of the water walls.

With a splash, as the water wall dispersed into streams of water, a massive figure appeared behind it, wielding the giant Samehada sword to block the Kusanagi Sword.

The enormous Fuguki Suikazan, enraged by the provocation, roared directly:

"Uchiha Shirou! Don't underestimate us!"

From behind came the sound of something slicing through the air. With perfect coordination, Biwa Jūzō, holding the Kubikiribōchō, joined the attack, flanking Shirou from both sides.

Shirou performed a brilliant spin to dodge the Kubikiribōchō, and the fight between the three began in earnest.

As the clash of blades echoed, Fuguki Suikazan's strikes were heavy and powerful, while Biwa Jūzō's Kubikiribōchō was as fast as a whirlwind. Meanwhile, Shirou's Kusanagi Sword moved like flashes of lightning.

The three legendary blades of the ninja world clashed repeatedly as the three formidable warriors fought fiercely.

Fuguki Suikazan shouted to Biwa Jūzō: "Let's team up and take this Uchiha down first!"

After a brief exchange, Fuguki Suikazan and Biwa Jūzō's expressions grew serious, their eyes filled with unease and wariness.

"So this is the strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

With lightning flickering around him and holding the Kusanagi Sword, Shirou deftly handled the pair's attacks and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Damn it, Uchiha's Lightning Style counters us!"

"Keh keh, let me put this Konoha genius to rest!"

Laughing, Kurosuki Raiga charged forward with his Twin Lightning Swords. Despite the sneak attack failing, Raiga showed no disappointment.

Even as Shirou faced three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, his mastery of taijutsu and ninjutsu left the Mist ninjas full of dread.

"So fast! My hands are going numb!"

Biwa Jūzō's pupils reflected his unease. His hands, gripping the Kubikiribōchō's Blade, were trembling slightly—not just from Shirou's strength, but also due to the paralyzing effects of his Lightning Style.

"Samehada, huh."

As the bandages on the ominous Samehada unraveled, revealing its grotesque form, the blade lunged toward the lightning-clad Shirou. However, Shirou quickly dodged.

"Damn it, the information about Samehada has been leaked!"

Realizing their tactics had failed, Fuguki Suikazan's expression changed instantly. He had feigned weakness to lure Shirou in, planning to use Samehada to absorb his chakra.

But Shirou's swift dodge clearly showed he already knew about Samehada's abilities.

"Let my blade be the one to bury you!"

At that moment, a flash of lightning streaked by as Kurosuki Raiga, wielding the Twin Lightning Swords, shouted excitedly. Though his attack failed, he showed no sign of frustration.

Shirou's Mangekyō Sharingan glowed with a sinister brilliance. He didn't bother hiding his power, and the three opponents dared not meet his gaze, their eyes instinctively avoiding his.

"Come on! Faster! Your blades are too slow. Hurry up!"

As Shirou launched a relentless assault with the Kusanagi Sword, his arrogant taunts further frustrated the trio.

Inwardly, however, Shirou was deep in thought. In the original story, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist seemed like minor characters, but in reality, each of them was an elite jonin with a fearsome reputation.

You couldn't underestimate any of them. In terms of swordsmanship, they were top-tier among Jonin. If not for his Lightning Style's speed being as fast as lightning, fighting the three of them together would have been disastrous.

Thousand Needles of Death!

At that moment, Fuguki Suikazan's figure transformed into a mass of water. As his water clone dispersed, a dense array of needle-like attacks launched toward Shirou.

This Jutsu was similar to Jiraiya's hair-based techniques.

Faced with the sudden attack, Shirou had already completed a single-handed hand seal before the other two even reacted.

Gathering chakra in his throat, he unleashed it in a massive fireball.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

"Damn it, single-handed seals!"

Biwa Jūzō shouted a warning in urgency, but the massive fireball engulfed the incoming needles. Even though the needles were enhanced with chakra, they vaporized instantly under the intense heat.

Not only did Shirou's Fire Style block the attack, but its residual force continued toward his opponents.

Enraged, Fuguki Suikazan didn't even resort to Water Style techniques. Instead, he swung the massive Samehada on the water's surface.

Instantly, the water surged like a waterfall, blocking the advancing fireball. Amid the sizzling sounds of evaporating water, Fuguki Suikazan was already preparing his next move.

Water Style: Water Shark Bullet Jutsu!

Shirou, facing off against three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, was holding his own in an evenly-matched battle.

Both sides unleashed their full arsenal of techniques. Although the ninjutsu seemed simple, the combatants' vast experience turned every move into a lethal attack.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly, Shirou couldn't help but admire the Mist ninjas' combat experience.

They never wasted a single opportunity.

"Fuguki Suikazan, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from the Land of Water, wielder of the Great Sword Samehada. His towering physique sets him apart, and he specializes in hair-based ninjutsu, Water Style, and swordsmanship.

The Great Sword Samehada absorbs the opponent's chakra and transfers it to its wielder. This sword is primarily used for shredding its targets. Its deep blue blade is covered in barbs..."

On the battlefield, with lightning flickering around him, Shirou casually recited detailed information about the three swords of the Mist ninjas, leaving his opponents visibly upset.

As Shirou continued his battle against three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the larger war between Konoha and Kiri raged on.

Although the Mist ninjas had the advantage in numbers and terrain, Konoha's secret techniques, kekkei genkai users, and especially the Uchiha clan evened the odds.

Among the Konoha forces, there was an unprecedented 17 jonin-level Uchiha shinobi with fully activated three-tomoe Sharingans. This elite force completely negated the Mist ninjas' numerical advantage.

"Damn it! Where did all these Sharingans come from?!"

One Mist ninja stared in shock. Apart from the 17 Uchiha jonins, this force also included 7 or 8 Uchiha chunin with one-tomoe or two-tomoe Sharingans.

"Damn Uchiha! I'll make sure to torture you later!"

Kuriarare Kushimaru, the wielder of the Longsword: Needle, roared with cruelty as he faced Uchiha Yashiro, an elite jonin with a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"What's wrong? Did you realize your usual ninja sword tricks don't work this time?"

Unlike the others, Uchiha Yashiro maintained a calm demeanor. Known for his expertise in intelligence gathering, he wielded a sharp chakra blade and wore a mocking smile.

"The Longsword: Needle is indeed an impressive ninja sword. But it's unfortunate for you—this time, you're up against the Uchiha. These eyes can see your future!"

With an intimidating aura, the three-tomoe Sharingan seemed godlike, though Kuriarare Kushimaru, a seasoned jonin, was not so easily shaken by psychological warfare.

Still, he couldn't contain his frustration this time.

"Your chakra threads are indeed subtle. Ordinary ninjas would easily fall for them. But under these eyes, nothing is hidden!"

Feigning arrogance, Uchiha Yashiro taunted him with a cold and derisive tone:

"These eyes can see the flow of chakra. All your tricks are laid bare before me!"

Although Kuriarare Kushimaru knew this, he couldn't help but feel stifled by the situation.

"Later, I'm going to string up your eyeballs!"

The Sharingan on the battlefield is practically a cheat code. At this moment, the ninja from both sides finally understood its terrifying potential.

Especially when it came to the coordinated efforts of the elite Uchiha on the battlefield.

More than a dozen powerful Three Tomoe Sharingan users could easily see the flow of chakra. Combined with their exceptional perceptive abilities, no hidden weapon could escape their sight. In close combat, even when their taijutsu skills were inferior, the dynamic vision of the Three Tomoe Sharingan allowed them to repeatedly strike at the opponent's weak points, making the fight as difficult as it could be.

And no one dared to meet their eyes, fearing they might accidentally fall into a genjutsu.

While most ninjas have their areas of expertise and weaknesses, this didn't apply to the Uchiha.

The elite Uchiha were proficient in genjutsu, and ninjutsu, and wielded ninja tools with unparalleled mastery. Even when facing taijutsu specialists, unless the difference in strength was overwhelmingly vast, enabling attacks faster than the Sharingan could track, it was almost impossible to gain the upper hand.

Otherwise, they could see through everything.

"Damn it, where did so many Uchiha jonin come from?! Did we accidentally hit the Uchiha clan's nest this time?!"

The Mist ninjas were stunned. Despite their advantage in numbers and the terrain, in the chaos of battle, they had not only failed to gain the upper hand but were also being suppressed.

The elite forces on both sides were comparable in the number of jonin, but the Uchiha's abundance of Three Tomoe Sharingan users was overwhelming.

"Konoha Whirlwind! Hahaha! This is youth!"

On the battlefield, Might Duy, clad in his signature green bodysuit, let out a shout brimming with youthful passion. With the Eight Gates released up to the Fourth Gate, his explosive speed made him a dazzling presence among the crowd.

Perhaps Might Duy wasn't as strong as his future son, but after years of rigorous training, his achievements in taijutsu were already on par with most chunin.

With the Fourth Gate of the Eight Gates Formation open, his taijutsu prowess was formidable even among Jonin.

"This Konoha squad has way too many Kekkei Genkai users!"

"There's also the Senju's monstrous strength and the Aburame clan's insects!"

Amid the chaotic cluster of reefs, Konoha and the Mist ninja clashed fiercely. Among Konoha's ranks were numerous ninjas from renowned clans like the Senju, Uchiha, Aburame, and Hyuga, not to mention other smaller families.

"What are you all standing around for?!"

At this moment, Fuguki Suikazan had already merged with the Samehada blade, transforming into a three-meter-tall humanoid shark.

Samehada Fusion Form!

Despite the combined efforts of Juzo Biwa, Fuguki Suikazan, and Raiga Kurosuki, they were being pushed back.

Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Juzo Biwa's strength was evident, as he later joined the Akatsuki after defecting, proving his abilities. While he didn't wield any unique or overwhelming jutsu, he was still a gatekeeper-level combatant in the Kage tier.

And Fuguki Suikazan, who was even stronger than him, needed no further introduction.

"Today, I'm going to roast this shark!"

With a calm and cold sneer, Shirou stood surrounded by flickering lightning. Though the sea limited his ability to use lightning techniques without restraint, the same environment also gave him an advantage over Fuguki Suikazan's water-based jutsu.

While Samehada could absorb chakra, it could only devour pure chakra. When facing chakra transformed into a ninjutsu attack, it wasn't that Samehada couldn't absorb it, but that it first had to endure the full force of the jutsu's power.

"Damn it!"

Fuguki Suikazan darted through the water like a giant shark, launching sneak attacks from below. However, Shirou's lightning-fast combination of ninja techniques and taijutsu gave him no opportunity to gain the upper hand.

"Juzo! Use your Kubikiribōchō to pin him down!"

Raiga Kurosuki shouted, only for Juzo Biwa to angrily retort, "If you're so capable, why don't you pin him down?!"

Swinging his Kubikiribōchō wildly, Juzo was barely able to protect himself. He wasn't pinning anyone down—it was taking all his effort just to stay alive.

The opponent was simply too fast!

At that moment, a series of sharp hawk cries suddenly echoed across the battlefield's skies. Konoha's ninja, upon hearing the sound, collectively paled.

This was the signal used by Konoha's swift hawks, a method reserved only for emergencies!

"Haha, it looks like it worked!"

The Mist Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who had been gradually losing ground, suddenly grinned viciously. Fuguki Suikazan, in particular, let out a wild laugh:

"Konoha! You should take a good look at the major events happening in the Land of Fire! We'll take our leave for now!"

Although the rest of the Mist ninja didn't know the specifics of the plan, seeing their leader's elated laughter and hearing the order to retreat, they all smiled as well.

"Retreat!"

Before disappearing into the deep sea, Fuguki Suikazan cast a lingering gaze at the lightning-clad figure standing on the water's surface.

"Damn Uchiha! The Mangekyou! Kekkei Genkai users!"

At that moment, Fuguki Suikazan gained a profound understanding of the strength and unfairness of Kekkei Genkai users.

"You think you can escape?"

Shirou sneered coldly. In an instant, his Mangekyou Sharingan spun, and Fuguki Suikazan, hidden in the water, suddenly froze, his expression twisting in pain.

Genjutsu: Scorching Fire!

A visual genjutsu cast through the Sharingan, caused the target to experience the sensation of being burned alive. Itachi once used this technique on Kakashi.

But in the next moment, a muffled groan came from the water, and blood began to dye the sea. Fuguki Suikazan snapped out of the genjutsu, only to find Samehada biting down savagely on his back.

"Uchiha!"

"Retreat!"

Terror flashed in Fuguki Suikazan's eyes. He didn't dare meet Shirou's gaze again. While he might have had confidence in resisting ninjutsu and taijutsu, the Sharingan's genjutsu was utterly inescapable.

"Damn it! Konoha ninja, you should start worrying about how to deal with the war ahead!"

Unlike others who retreated indifferently, leaving their subordinates behind, Juzo Biwa, wielding the Kubikiribōchō, unleashed a large-scale water release jutsu to cover the retreat of his comrades.

"Lord Shirou!"

"Captain Shirou!"

The Konoha ninja on the battlefield remained in their combat stances. The battle had not lasted long, and thanks to the small Katsuyu slugs on their shoulders before combat, their casualties were minimal.

"Something's happened!"

Shirou glanced at the swift hawk perched on his shoulder. After extracting the intel, his expression immediately darkened.

"Everyone, abandon the support mission for the Land of Whirlpool! Full-speed retreat to the border!"

With a stern shout, Shirou wasted no time and directly commanded his troops to withdraw from the Land of Whirlpool battlefield.

Something major had happened! The Land of Fire's border had been breached!

Across the Land of Fire, swift hawks raced in all directions, delivering the latest orders to countless Konoha ninjas.
