Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 211: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

Susanoo!

On the battlefield of Kikyo Mountain, both sides of the ninja forces stared in shock at the giant figure that appeared before them.

"This is no longer a battle on the same level!"

"Hahaha, this is the ultimate power of the Uchiha Mangekyo Sharingan!"

As the terrifying red giant came into view, the Uchiha ninjas on the Konoha side erupted into frenzied cheers, their eyes alight with uncontainable fanaticism.

"The ninja world will once again be ruled by the fear of the Mangekyo!"

Ever since the Mangekyo Sharingan became known, the Uchiha clan had spread tales of its legendary power far and wide. Naturally, they had a preliminary understanding of this extraordinary ability.

But understanding it was one thing—witnessing it on the battlefield was something else entirely. Only then could one grasp the sheer magnitude of its power and how insignificant they were in comparison.

"He's even using Susanoo!"

On Kikyo Mountain, Tsunade, who was commanding the overall situation, couldn't help but look stunned at the scene. Although she knew Shirou was strong, she hadn't expected him to be forced into using such a technique.

"However, while this power can be used, it can't be overused. Otherwise, even with Shirou's current body, it will still have consequences."

Compared to Tsunade's subtle frown, Orochimaru, who was keeping a close eye on the battlefield, revealed an expression of excitement and greed.

"So this is the ultimate power of the Mangekyo Sharingan—Susanoo! No wonder it's a force that terrifies the ninja world!"

At this time, Orochimaru, who had just begun pursuing immortality, had not yet thought about obtaining a Uchiha body. What he coveted now was the secret behind this incredible power.

"Round two begins now!"

As Shirou activated the second stage of Susanoo and felt the immense power coursing through him, he couldn't help but shout with excitement, directing Susanoo into battle against the Three Kage.

The rock giant and the sand gold giant were mercilessly pummeled by the enormous Susanoo. Despite the furious roars of the Fourth Raikage candidate, A, and the enhancement of Onoki's Super Heavy-Weighted Rock Technique, their strongest attacks could only leave slight cracks on Susanoo.

But those cracks were repaired almost instantly.

After all, the current Fourth Raikage candidate, A, was not yet at his peak. If the Third Raikage were present instead, with Onoki's support, it might have been possible to shatter Susanoo's bones.

"Lord Third Tsuchikage! This red giant from the Sharingan is continuously consuming chakra..."

From a distance, an Iwa ninja sensory specialist shouted anxiously, his face pale as he reported the intelligence he had gathered.

However, amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Onoki stared in shock at the Susanoo before him.

"Uchiha Shirou has already pushed his power to such an extent! Susanoo is even enhanced with a Lightning Armor. Despite the combined assault of me and that brat A, we could barely make a crack!"

Inside Susanoo, Shirou's expression turned irritated as he overheard the distant sensory ninja exposing his chakra consumption.

"Annoying bugs!"

Sage Art: Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

In an instant, the massive Susanoo erupted with terrifying currents of electricity, delivering devastating damage to the rock and sand gold giants. Simultaneously, this Jutsu's range under Susanoo was nothing short of terrifying.

Thunderbolts flashed everywhere, creating a carpet-like sweep of destruction. The sensory ninja who had just revealed Shirou's chakra situation was caught within the range of the lightning, his pupils filled with terror as the electricity consumed him.

"Damn it! Only my Dust Release can break through Susanoo's defense now!"

At this point in the battle, Onoki and his allies had begun to comprehend the immense power of Susanoo.

However, upon hearing this, Rasa's expression grew grim as he spoke in a low voice:

"Onoki, don't forget about his ocular powers!"

Faced with Rasa's reminder, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki stared at the battlefield with a frustrated expression.

On any other battlefield, or in scattered skirmishes, he wouldn't have hesitated!

A ninja's path was always accompanied by sacrifice!

The trio—Third Tsuchikage Onoki, Sand Ninja Rasa, and the Fourth Raikage candidate A—brought an overwhelming combination of power. Even Uchiha Shirou, wielding Susanoo, felt the immense pressure of their teamwork.

"Rasa and A may not yet be at their peak, but under Onoki's command, they are each making full use of their strengths. Truly troublesome!"

Inside Susanoo, Shirou's Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly. Even though his possession of Hashirama's cells meant he didn't need to worry about his ocular power, the consumption of chakra within his body still made him secretly uneasy.

"This pressure! The gap between myself and that old man Madara is still vast."

Despite this, Shirou's lips curled into a smirk, his face brimming with an unstoppable fighting spirit.

"But I'm closing the distance between myself and Madara! Mangekyo, Eternal Mangekyo, and even the Rinnegan... I will achieve them all someday!"

The battle between tens of thousands of ninjas had drastically altered the terrain of the region.

Craters formed by the fighting filled with water from Water Release techniques, while vast forests had been obliterated by Fire, Earth, and Wind Release techniques.

"Lord Elder! Uchiha Shirou still has..."

At this moment, Ebizo listened to the report of a sensory ninja under his command. As he looked at the battlefield, now locked in a stalemate, the casualties on their side continued to mount with time.

"He still has that much chakra left?!"

Ebizo's face turned grim. From the perspective of the battlefield, their plan to overwhelm and take Kikyo Mountain in one decisive strike had already failed.

However, if they could take this opportunity to eliminate this Mangekyo Sharingan user, even at the cost of significant losses, the three great ninja villages would deem it worthwhile.

Yet judging by the current situation, they would likely expend all their forces before being able to exhaust Uchiha Shirou's chakra.

"Relay a message to Onoki. Inform him of Uchiha Shirou's chakra status!"

Ebizo finally spoke in a reluctant tone, his voice heavy with frustration. The surrounding sensory ninjas responded quickly with a loud "Yes!" as they passed on the message.

On this earth-shaking battlefield, enormous summoning beasts like Manda and Gamabunta had long since returned to their respective realms. After all, they weren't tailed beasts.

Compared to true tailed beasts, these large summoning creatures were far inferior—in both endurance and combat strength.

However, on Kikyo Mountain, the thousand-division Katsuyu was performing marvelously. Konoha's ninjas, even those with minor injuries, recovered quickly, while those with severe injuries also received timely treatment.

In contrast, the allied forces of the Cloud, Stone, and Sand villages had their medical teams. However, Konoha's medical forces, led by Tsunade, were unmatched. Tsunade alone was equivalent to thousands of medical ninjas.

Under Katsuyu's division, she provided close-range treatment, a feat unmatched by the Allied forces. Even after battles, Tsunade's ability to heal severely injured ninjas far exceeded their capabilities.

"The Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku..."

Jiraiya laughed boisterously, his jovial demeanor contrasting sharply with the terrifying Fire Release techniques he unleashed. His bold laughter indeed placed considerable psychological pressure on the enemy ninjas.

However, beneath his confident exterior, Jiraiya's bandaged body was already soaked in blood. Though he laughed heartily, his heart was filled with anxiety.

"Damn it! My chakra is running low, and my wounds are reopening. If this keeps up, I won't last much longer."

Jiraiya, a powerful ninja, wasn't reckless or simple-minded. His jovial and eccentric behavior was merely a part of his personality. In combat, he was far from foolish.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Konoha's ninjas gradually began turning the tide, overcoming their initial numerical disadvantage. This was largely due to Konoha's deep reserves of strength.

Most crucially, it was because of Tsunade!

"It's time to retreat!"

On the battlefield, Susanoo rampaged as Shirou single-handedly fought the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the sand gold user Rasa, and the Fourth Raikage candidate A.

He had already demonstrated terrifying power!

"Damn it! How could it end up like this?!"

The Fourth Raikage candidate, A, glared unwillingly at the massive red, flame-like giant. Despite being a ninja of the same era, he had been surpassed by such a large margin.

However, after Ōnoki heard Ebizō's voice transmission and observed the situation on the battlefield, he knew they had already missed the best opportunity to break through Kikyō Mountain.

If they had attacked with full force at the beginning, there might have been a chance. But once they were locked in a stalemate, Konoha's medical ninjas far exceeded their own in capability.

For now, things were manageable, but if the stalemate continued, the casualties among the allied ninja forces would only grow.

"Don't get discouraged!"

Although he had already developed thoughts of retreat, Ōnoki still smirked coldly as he looked at the shadowy figure inside the massive Susano'o.

"To the best of my knowledge, the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities come with the risk of blindness. It's said that Uchiha Madara took his brother's eyes to regain his sight.

But Uchiha Shirou doesn't have a brother, and the Uchiha Clan only has one pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. The war has just begun—I refuse to believe he can keep using those eyes indefinitely!"

After calmly analyzing the situation, Ōnoki exchanged glances with Rasa and the Fourth Raikage candidate, A. Though both were unwilling, the situation on the battlefield and their own dwindling chakra left them no choice.

"Retreat! This time we were unprepared, but next time will be different!"

With a frustrated roar, the Fourth Raikage candidate, A, gave the order to retreat.

Similarly, the Sand Ninja's Rasa also issued a retreat order, but he took one last deep look at the overwhelming power that had forced them to retreat and said solemnly:

"Although we failed this time, we've gained valuable intelligence on the Mangekyō Sharingan. There's no such thing as a flawless jutsu in the ninja world! We will find its weakness!"

"Send the retreat signal. Alternate covering fire and withdraw from combat. Don't hesitate to use explosive tags!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, truly lived up to his reputation as one of the most determined and experienced Kage. Even in retreat, he directed the battlefield with precision and calm.

"You think you can just leave?!"

Seeing the allied ninja forces issue the retreat command, the figure inside the massive flaming Susano'o—Uchiha Shirou—revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

Sage Art: Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!

The enormous Susano'o unleashed a fireball that descended on the retreating allied ninja forces like a falling meteor.

"Damn it! This chakra is terrifying!"

Ōnoki roared as he quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground. In an instant, the battlefield rumbled, and a massive earthen wall rose like a fortress.

Earth Style: Earth Flow Rampart!

The terrifying fire jutsu collided with the Earth Flow Rampart, causing a fiery explosion that spread into a sea of flames. The sheer destructive force of the fire jutsu caused the massive wall to crumble continuously.

"This isn't good! Everyone, use Water Style quickly!"

One by one, the Water Style ninjas among the allied forces unleashed their jutsu, extinguishing the sea of flames that had spread beyond the crumbling wall.

"Retreat! Don't get drawn into the fight!"

Ōnoki roared again. Despite his anger, the old man's decisive commands and personal efforts to block Susano'o proved crucial on the battlefield.

"They managed to block it?!"

Inside the Susano'o, Shirou frowned as the flames dissipated, revealing the shattered remains of the earthen wall. Taking advantage of the opportunity, a large number of allied forces had already withdrawn from the battle, retreating from both flanks.

"Ōnoki, you truly live up to your reputation as the most tenacious and experienced Tsuchikage!"

Inside the towering Susano'o, Shirou's chest heaved as he panted from exhaustion. Even he could feel the toll of such a high-intensity battle.

On either side of him lay the shattered remains of the giant rock golem and the weathered sand-gold construct.

He was well aware that the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, had not fully unleashed his true strength—especially his Dust Release—due to the threat of Shirou's ocular powers.

"Retreat!"

As the retreat signal echoed from above, the allied ninja forces alternated their defense while withdrawing. Meanwhile, the Konoha ninjas atop Kikyō Mountain erupted into cheers of victory.

"We won!"

"Haha, we drove them back!"

"Long live Konoha!"

This battle had brought enormous pressure to Konoha. Ever since the Kumogakure Collapse plans, morale in Konoha had been shaky. The sudden onset of war, with the four great ninja villages joining forces and even breaching the borders, had left many Konoha ninjas feeling helpless.

Some had even started to believe the illusion that Konoha wasn't as strong as it once was. How could they possibly stand against the combined might of four great nations?

Kikyō Mountain was the last line of defense protecting their homeland. If the mountain fell, the flames of war would engulf the entire Land of Fire.

Thus, this battle carried immense weight for the Konoha ninjas.

"Long live the Uchiha!"

On the battlefield, a member of the Uchiha Clan shouted fanatically. Many Konoha ninjas turned to look at the slowly fading fiery giant, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.

This battle had not only restored Konoha's confidence but also strengthened its spine.

Especially the terrifying power of Uchiha Shirou's Mangekyō Sharingan. While the Cloud, Stone, and Sand ninjas felt fear, Konoha felt exhilaration.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

With the success of this first battle, the triumphant cheers of Konoha ninjas echoed over Kikyō Mountain.

"Shirou!"

Kushina appeared in front of Shirou. Her pupils still bore the blood-red beast-like glow, and her expression was grave.

"Shirou, your chakra! Bite my arm and recover some!"

Kushina, sensing that Shirou's chakra had depleted to less than 20%, frowned as she noticed his heavy breathing and sweat-drenched appearance.

"Kushina, no need. Save it for Sister Tsunade instead."

Despite his exhaustion, Shirou smiled with exhilaration from the intense battle.

"On the battlefield, Tsunade's chakra is more important than mine!"

As he spoke, Kushina noticed the blood-streaked marks on his face and frowned again.

"Shirou, your eyes?!"

"Shh." Shirou gave a sly smile as Kushina helped him up. He leaned in and whispered:

"It's normal for the Mangekyō Sharingan to gradually consume its ocular power."

While he said this, the glint in his eyes made Kushina's fox-like expression soften as she nodded.

"Shirou, you're sly."

Shirou shrugged, indicating that the blindness risk of the Mangekyō Sharingan was common knowledge in the ninja world. He wasn't lying.

As for his actual situation, he was happy to let his enemies dream about exhausting his ocular powers.

"But Shirou, you're so cunning. You even tricked them with the true capabilities of Kyōka Suigetsu and Etherial Reflection."

It was clear that Shirou's ocular powers weren't as simple as they appeared.

Ninjas = Deception!

Intelligence was the lifeblood of ninjas—whether gathering intel on the enemy or hiding one's secrets.
