Chapter 309 - Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [309]
Chūnin Exam Arena.
Amidst the chaos, after Mabui swiftly executed Danzo Shimura with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Danzo's figure disappeared and reappeared moments later, his eyes revealing utter shock.
The reappeared Danzo stared in terror at Shirou's mocking smile. He had been so close—so close to losing his life entirely.
As the three tomoe in Danzo's Sharingan faded to gray, Shirou's expression turned bored, and he shook his head, saying:
"Too weak. Looks like without the Sharingan, you're nothing at all!"
"Curse you! Stop him!"
Currently, Konoha no longer had Sharingan in stock for Obito or Danzo to use—this solitary three-tomoe Sharingan had been painstakingly procured by Obito. And yet, in their very first encounter, Danzo lost his only three-tomoe Sharingan.
As Danzo shouted in rage and panic, ordering the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Fourth Mizukage Yagura to intercept, a lightning flash struck before anyone could react.
"Danzo! Die!"
Everything happened in an instant. Mabui had already executed Danzo once with the Flying Thunder God Technique. As the Fourth Mizukage and Kazekage moved to block, another lightning bolt appeared behind Danzo.
It was none other than Samui, who had activated her Lightning Release Armor. Now, she had also entered her Sage Mode, her raging lightning speed leaving even the spectators—like the Fourth Raikage A—utterly stunned.
"Impossible!"
"She's so fast! She's as fast as Lord Raikage!" thought the two bodyguards of the Raikage, their minds reeling. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Danzo, you useless fool!"
At this moment, Uchiha Obito, hidden in the shadows, appeared in anger upon seeing Danzo in danger. Danzo was utterly hopeless—or rather, who would have thought that Shirou's bodyguards were this absurdly strong?
"Samui, stand down!"
With a spatial ripple, Mabui coldly shouted and used the Flying Thunder God to teleport herself and Samui away in a flash of silver light.
In the blink of an eye, countless white paper tags began to fly everywhere. Moving too fast to be seen clearly, Obito's Sharingan contracted in shock as he realized they were explosive tags—an innumerable amount of them.
At the same time, a terrifying, raging chakra erupted. Yugito Nii roared, her body cloaked in the form of her tailed beast, and she engaged the Fourth Mizukage and Fourth Kazekage in fierce combat.
"Lord Shirou!"
Many Konoha shinobi stared in awe at the fight above. Though they had known the strength of the Hokage Guards, they hadn't expected it to be this overwhelming.
Each one of them was of Kage-level strength!
This scene left even the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, wide-eyed in disbelief.
For a shinobi village as prominent as Iwagakure, Kage-level fighters were rare but not absent. His son, Kitsuchi, was at least Kage-level. But for Konoha to have so many Kage-level shinobi at once—it was absurd!
This was beyond unfair!
The four Hokage Guards—Konan, Mabui, Samui, and Yugito—displayed terrifying combat prowess. Mabui, in particular, stood before Shirou like an impenetrable shield, using the Flying Thunder God to protect him.
Suddenly, a dull explosion echoed in the distance.
"Oh, this is getting interesting."
As the smoke cleared, Danzo Shimura emerged battered, with only one arm remaining, but his face twisted into a sinister smile.
"Haha! Uchiha Shirou, don't get arrogant! You should have taken the chance to kill me. Now, you've lost all opportunities!"
"How is this possible?!"
Under the barrage of Konan's explosive tags, the Fourth Mizukage and Fourth Kazekage had shielded Danzo. Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, had even used his gold sand to defend against the explosions.
Yet, despite the overwhelming destruction, both Kage were critically injured—a scene utterly incomprehensible. As the flames subsided, the sight before everyone was shocking: the shattered bodies of the two Kage were regenerating.
"The Mizukage and Kazekage—they're—!"
Many onlookers were aghast as they noticed the black pupils, cracked skin, and visibly regenerating bodies of the two Kage.
This realization struck everyone like lightning: the Fourth Mizukage and Kazekage were being controlled.
"Edo Tensei! Danzo is using the forbidden jutsu to manipulate the dead!"
Kakashi Hatake, observing from the sidelines, immediately recognized what was happening. His expression turned grim as he explained the basics of this forbidden jutsu to those around him.
"Haha! Uchiha Shirou, you're finished! I knew how powerful your Mangekyō Sharingan abilities were, so I dealt with the Kazekage and Mizukage beforehand. Now, you can't break my control with your Sharingan anymore!"
"Lord Hokage, watch out!"
Kakashi's warning echoed as Danzo's sinister smile widened within the barrier.
"Today marks the end of the wicked Uchiha clan!"
Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei!
With a loud rumble, five coffins slowly rose from the ground.
The first coffin bore the kanji "First," the second "Madara," the third "Second," the fourth "Third," and the final one "Raikage."
Boom!
As the coffins labeled "First," "Second," "Third," and "Raikage" slowly opened, the coffin labeled "Madara" suddenly exploded. Clearly, the person inside had no patience, kicking the coffin lid off from within.
The shattered coffin lid revealed five figures slowly stepping out.
Danzo Shimura laughed maniacally, blood dripping from his mouth. Though Shirou's power had exceeded his imagination, this time, victory was his.
As the coffin lids fell to the ground and the figures stepped out, the sight left everyone present utterly stunned.
"Danzo, you despicable bastard!"
Outside the barrier, the Fourth Raikage, A, roared in fury. Among the resurrected figures was none other than his father—the Third Raikage.
But more of the Konoha ninja were in shock.
"It's the First Hokage and the Second Hokage!"
With the creaking sound of coffin lids being pushed open, figures slowly emerged.
At that moment, everyone was stunned. Even the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, and the Fourth Raikage, A, were frozen in shock.
"This—this is the past Hokage!"
"It's the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage! And..."
Suddenly, someone cried out, identifying the figure emerging from one of the coffins. The black-haired ninja with waist-length hair, exuding arrogance and dominance in his red armor, was unfamiliar to many.
At this time, standing behind the five resurrected figures, Danzo Shimura was panting heavily, his face breaking into a smile. Meanwhile, Uchiha Obito, seeing this scene, secretly let out a sigh of relief.
But behind his mask, the Sharingan briefly met Madara's gaze.
"This is your ancestor, Uchiha Madara!"
"Uchiha Shirou, aren't you supposed to be strong? The so-called strongest in the shinobi world? Today your opponents are none other than the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara!"
"Madara—the legendary Uchiha ancestor, known as the Demon of the Shinobi World, standing equal with the First Hokage!"
Danzo Shimura laughed maniacally. With the protection of the past Hokage, he believed he would reign over Konoha, eradicate the evil Uchiha, and claim the village as his own.
"Danzo!"
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, recovering from his daze, couldn't help but show a look of shock. Seeing his old friend, Danzo's face lit up with excitement.
"Hiruzen! We can fight side by side again!"
"What is this?"
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who had just regained his senses, was momentarily stunned by the scene before him. Then, seeing the figures beside him, he burst into exaggerated laughter.
"Haha, Madara, you're here too."
The dramatic entrance, which should have been awe-inspiring, was instantly undercut by Senju Hashirama's opening line, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Those unfamiliar with the situation were shocked, but those who knew them were even more affected.
Standing on the high platform, Senju Tsunade, who was making her way toward the barrier with a commanding presence, suddenly teared up at the sight.
"Big brother! Look at the situation—we're in trouble. Danzo used that jutsu, which means the village is in big danger."
Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama, standing nearby, surveyed the surroundings with a grim expression. Dealing with his embarrassing older brother left him feeling helpless.
As for the imposing Uchiha Madara, who had initially been displeased about being prematurely resurrected, his mood worsened when he saw Hashirama's idiotic laughter. He couldn't hold back.
"Hashirama, you idiot!"
The previously imposing Uchiha Madara instantly broke character, glaring at Senju Hashirama while surveying the scene.
When his gaze landed on Uchiha Shirou's Hokage hat, Madara's pupils contracted as he instinctively looked toward the Hokage Rock.
Seeing Uchiha Shirou's face carved into the mountain, along with the Mangekyō Sharingan visible, Madara's lips twitched.
If the situation weren't so dire, he would have burst out laughing!
"Danzo!"
At that moment, a voice filled with suppressed rage echoed. With a loud crash, Senju Tsunade shattered the barrier in front of her with a single punch.
Seeing Tsunade's figure, Danzo's expression turned furious.
"First and Second Hokage, Konoha has long been under the control of the evil Uchiha! The village you founded..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing beside Danzo, showed a sinister expression. He understood now that Danzo had used the Edo Tensei to resurrect them.
Seeing the First and Second Hokage, Hiruzen felt a deep sense of humiliation. He was probably the only Hokage to have died in such a disgraceful manner.
"First Hokage, Second Hokage, I've failed your expectations. Under my leadership, Konoha has fallen into the hands of the evil Uchiha through a coup! Even the Sarutobi clan has been wiped out!
The entire village and the shinobi world are in grave danger. Please, defeat the evil Uchiha!"
"Evil Uchiha?" Senju Hashirama, looking at Hiruzen and Danzo's impassioned faces, wasn't entirely foolish. He scanned his surroundings.
When his gaze landed on the Hokage Rock, Hashirama's eyes widened.
"How many years has it been, Monkey? When did you die? And is that man the Fourth Hokage? Uchiha? And little Tsuna has grown up too."
Hashirama's reaction, showing his thick-headedness as the reincarnation of Asura's chakra, seemed almost genetic.
"Idiot brother, look more carefully at Monkey and Danzo's current state."
"First Hokage, Second Hokage..."
Danzo and Hiruzen, their eyes filled with hatred, glared at Uchiha Shirou and recounted the events of the past few years.
But the scene was comical: two frail, decrepit old men complaining as if tattling to their parents about being bullied.
After Hiruzen gave a brief explanation, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, frowned, glancing at the man sitting confidently on the Hokage's chair.
Especially seeing Tsunade standing beside him, Tobirama's dissatisfaction grew. How could little Tsuna allow a Uchiha to rise to power?
"The Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Shirou!? Truly reckless."
This was Tobirama's first reaction. Hashirama, on the other hand, was initially stunned, but then he patted Uchiha Madara on the shoulder, laughing heartily:
"Madara, look! An Uchiha became Hokage. I told you Uchiha is part of Konoha."
Madara, who had been brimming with excitement about Uchiha Shirou's coup and rise to power, felt his enthusiasm cut in half by Hashirama's laughter. His eye twitched as he glanced disdainfully at Hashirama before sneering:
"Hashirama, you didn't hear them. Those two old fools said our Uchiha took power through a coup!"
Madara emphasized the word "coup" with a smug tone, his eyes gleaming with pride. It was as if he were saying, "In the end, the Uchiha won."
Hashirama scratched his head, looking at the prosperous Konoha, and asked in confusion, "What's the difference? The Uchiha are part of Konoha too!"
"Big brother!" Tobirama couldn't hold back his frustration, shouting angrily. His older brother was too embarrassing—too clueless!
"Hashirama, you!"
He had long envisioned the scene of their reunion, but the reaction from Senju Hashirama left Uchiha Madara feeling like he had prepared a devastating strike after decades of planning, only for it to land on cotton.
"Is that so? But why have I heard that one of my Uchiha descendants married your granddaughter?"
"What do you mean, Madara?"
With a clueless expression, Senju Hashirama scratched his head. He was still immersed in the excitement and joy of reuniting with his old friend, completely unaware of the underlying tension.
At this point, Senju Tobirama could no longer hold back. Gritting his teeth, he roared in anger:
"Big brother, you idiot! The Uchiha married Tsunade, and now Konoha is under the Uchiha's control!"
One would expect Senju Hashirama to get angry, but instead, upon hearing Tobirama's explanation, he suddenly clapped his hands. Just as everyone braced themselves for a potential confrontation, the First Hokage's next words left everyone speechless.
"That's right! Tobirama, why didn't we think of this before? If the Senju and Uchiha had arranged a marriage alliance back then, we wouldn't have had so many problems!"
Good grief!
Senju Hashirama's bizarre, leapfrog logic left everyone struggling to keep up, and it made Uchiha Madara's eye twitch in frustration, his face betraying a flicker of anger.
"I've been planning for decades, only for it to feel nothing like what I imagined!"
Hashirama, you bastard! Fine, fine! You forced my hand!
With a cold, commanding snort, Madara's expression suddenly shifted. His gaze fell mockingly on Senju Tobirama, as though he were looking at a fool.
Then, in the next moment, Madara turned to Shirou across from him and, with a commanding tone, pretended not to recognize them as he said:
"Uchiha Shirou, I hear you married Hashirama's granddaughter. As expected of a Uchiha! Now tell me—how many children have you had with the Senju girl? How many of them have inherited our Uchiha bloodline and awakened the Sharingan?"
What the...?!
Madara's domineering proclamation instantly made Senju Tobirama's face turn green. His furious eyes shifted to Tsunade in the distance, now grown up, as though demanding answers.
The mere thought of his granddaughter Tsunade giving birth to several wicked little brats with red Sharingan eyes made Senju Tobirama want to explode on the spot.
