Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 192: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

With the sound of a heavy crash, the surrounding puppets fell from the air, residual arcs of electricity flickering in the atmosphere.

As the chirping of the Chidori faded, Yamato, Sai, and Haruno Sakura were left utterly shocked.

"Chidori! How can you use it?!"

However, Shirou, whose arm was casually draped over Sakura's shoulder, responded with a calm smile after hearing this.

"The Chidori is a jutsu I created myself. Why wouldn't I know how to use it?"

His mysterious and confident smile left the three in awe, especially Sakura, whose eyes filled with tears as she snapped out of her daze.

The person in front of her was taller and more handsome than Sasuke, and his face carried a confident, aloof smile that Sasuke never had. He wasn't Sasuke!

Yet, her heart still couldn't help but ache as she rasped:

"Then what is your relationship with Sasuke?!"

Especially when Shirou's three tomoe Sharingan glimmered in his eyes, paired with the Konoha forehead protector on his head, it was as if the answer was already clear to them.

"Sharingan! He's from the Uchiha clan!"

Yamato stared at the scene in front of him in shock. When he received information about this world, his mind was buzzing.

When did Chidori become a jutsu created by a Uchiha ninja?

This was chaos! Had they traveled through time, or had they arrived in another dimension?!

"Sasuke? It seems this person is very important to you, and also one of our Uchiha clan."

Shirou gazed calmly at the two, while Yamato's expression kept shifting. He hurriedly tried to react.

"No! This is a misunderstanding! We're all Konoha ninjas. This is a misunderstanding!"

Yamato was completely flustered, his mind buzzing, but he had no choice but to wave his hands and explain that this was all a misunderstanding, repeatedly emphasizing that they were all ninjas from the same village.

"Is that so? But I should know you."

This single sentence from the mysterious ninja made Yamato's mind spin even more. He didn't even know what time it was anymore, nor what had happened in this world.

"The lucky survivor of the Wood Release laboratory. It was I who rescued you from that lab with my own hands and brought you to the Senju clan—Senju Yamato."

Shirou's confident and calm smile left the three utterly dumbfounded, especially Sakura, who stared in shock at her team leader.

Senju?

Even Yamato himself was confused. His name was Yamato, yes, but where did this "Senju" surname come from?

"Not good!"

In that split second of distraction, a figure suddenly appeared behind them, launching a sneak attack. Yamato and Sai's expressions changed drastically.

"Sai!"

The two reacted simultaneously to counterattack, but what greeted them was a flash of red light. In the instant of their clash, their bodies froze completely.

Sealing Technique: Curse Seal of Binding

"This is Root's sealing technique!"

Feeling their bodies unable to move, Yamato and Sai were both stunned as they looked at the red figure before them.

They saw Uzumaki Kushina, wearing a Konoha forehead protector, smiling with satisfaction at completing her task. The moment her hands made contact with the two, she had activated this sealing technique.

"Shirou, it seems our tactics worked perfectly. These two reek of Root's influence."

When mentioning Root, Kushina's expression clearly showed disgust.

At the same time, Sai and Yamato's bodies became stiff as black sealing marks spread across their bodies, covering them completely and leaving them immobile.

"She's the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!"

When Yamato saw the red-haired figure, he was even more dumbfounded. As a Wood Release user, he knew better than anyone about the village's previous Jinchuriki.

But the scene in front of him—this world's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki leaning affectionately against a Uchiha—completely baffled him. What was going on?!

When did the village allow the Uchiha to interact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? And their relationship didn't seem normal!

This was chaos! Utter chaos!

"Shirou, these three are very suspicious!"

Even though they had restrained the three, Kushina remained on high alert, frowning as she used her sensory abilities to ensure there were no ambushes nearby.

"One of them has Root's Curse Seal of Tongue Eradication, and the other's combat tactics with Wood Release carry a strong Root influence. As for this one, she uses Sister Tsunade's monstrous strength—although it's through ninjutsu, the suspicious points are too many..."

It had to be said that Kushina was a competent ninja in combat. Her calm analysis of the information was a skill all ninjas excelled at.

Meanwhile, Sakura, seeing this beautiful red-haired woman and the unusually different Sasuke being so close and hearing her words, was dumbfounded but quickly explained:

"It's a misunderstanding! My monstrous strength, Cherry Blossom Impact, was developed under Tsunade-sensei's guidance. And Captain Yamato left Root a long time ago. We're all Konoha ninjas..."

However, at that moment, more puppet signals appeared in the distance. Kushina's expression changed as she said seriously:

"Shirou, more puppets are coming. Let's retreat!"

Without hesitation, Shirou tossed Sakura to Kushina and grabbed Yamato and Sai, disappearing from the scene.

When a group of Roran puppets arrived, they found only the remains of broken puppets scattered on the ground. After a brief search, they chose to withdraw.

...

Within this fairytale-like architectural kingdom, the seemingly bustling facade concealed a sense of emptiness and falsehood.

The entire nation resembled a fairytale world. Though it appeared enchanting, the lively atmosphere carried an eerie undertone.

For all the noise and laughter, the faces were those of lifeless puppets devoid of emotion.

This was a fairytale world without feelings.

Under the night sky.

In a shop with an alluring atmosphere, the voluptuous female shopkeeper lay lifelessly on the ground, as if disassembled.

"Shirou, this place is too strange. The entire nation—I've only sensed a very small number of actual living beings. The bustling scenes we see are all puppets in disguise..."

At this moment, Kushina stood on a puppet, looking out the window at the lively country. Her pupils reflected a sense of heaviness.

Shirou nodded calmly.

"A nation of puppets... this is the first I've heard of such a thing. This is completely different from the information we had about Roran."

At the same time, Yamato, Sai, and Sakura were tied to a pillar. Their chakra had been sealed, but as they looked at the calmer, more handsome Sasuke and the tall, red-haired Konoha ninja, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of dissonance.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki seemed to share such a close bond with a Uchiha!

Yamato, in particular, stared wide-eyed as a thought suddenly came to mind. It seemed as if the Fourth Hokage's legacy had been tarnished.

"Cherry Blossom Impact, huh? A very nice name."

At this moment, Shirou stood calmly in front of the three, smiling faintly as he gazed at Haruno Sakura, who had been staring blankly at him.

It seemed this encounter had brought about another important discovery.

"An unusual constitution. If it's not due to exceptional talent, then it must be the blood of the Senju clan hidden among the common people."

Gazing at Sakura, Shirou's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

Cherry Blossom Impact, a taijutsu developed by Haruno Sakura within the Art of Formation, is classified as a C-rank technique. This jutsu involves gathering a large amount of chakra into the hands and then releasing it.

However, the true difficulty of the Cherry Blossom Impact doesn't lie in the technique itself, but in Sakura's immense strength. Only someone with natural brute force, combined with the ability to concentrate power into a single point and unleash it explosively, can perform this technique.

"Sakura Haruno, a ninja. As the deputy captain of the police force, I searched for any trace of your existence but found nothing. And as for the Uchiha named Sasuke, based on the information you previously revealed...

I believe you wouldn't mind sharing your secrets, would you? Also, I'm particularly interested in this taijutsu and its monstrous strength. After all, you mentioned that it was Sister Tsunade who taught you this."

However, Shirou's indifferent words echoed, sending shockwaves through the trio.

Yamato, in particular, widened his eyes in shock. "What's going on in this world? Even the great Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, has some kind of connection with the Uchiha?"

"Sister Tsunade!"

Sakura couldn't hold back her exclamation. At that moment, she looked in disbelief at the tall, handsome Uchiha ninja before her, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Sasuke.

"How is this possible? How could Tsunade-sensei possibly have a connection with the Uchiha clan..."

"Shirou, let me handle this!"

At this moment, Kushina revealed a solemn expression. As she stared at the trio, she seemed to piece together something from the information she had previously gathered.

As Kushina raised her hand, Yamato's expression changed immediately. He hurriedly explained:

"Don't search my mind! We are Konoha ninjas, or rather, we come from the future—or perhaps, we're people from a different world..."

Yamato spoke quickly, knowing full well the secrets of Konoha stored in his mind. Although there were seals in place to protect his thoughts, he was acutely aware of who he was facing.

This was none other than the princess of the Uzumaki clan, whose status as the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki overshadowed everything. Yamato, a former member of Root, was created specifically to counteract tailed beasts.

"At first, we thought we came from the future, but this world is entirely different from ours. If it were truly the future, there would have been changes..."

Hearing Yamato's shocking statement, everyone present, despite being somewhat prepared, couldn't help but feel deeply shaken.

The future! Another world!

Does that mean that there's another version of them in a parallel world as well?

"Another world?"

Shirou narrowed his eyes, his expression contemplative, as if confirming his suspicions.

If the future could be easily changed, the world would already be in chaos. What people refer to as altering the future is merely changing the fate of another timeline.

"No... you!"

When Yamato saw the three-tomoe Sharingan in Shirou's eyes, his face turned deathly pale.

"Apologies, but regardless of whether what you're saying is true or false, the information in your mind is invaluable to us. Even if these futures don't come to pass, as a ninja, I cannot let go of such critical intelligence!

Especially now, when the village is in the midst of war. The Four Great Shinobi Villages have joined forces for the Four Kage Summit, and our village is about to face an unprecedented assault from their combined forces..."

Hearing Shirou's calm yet resolute tone, Yamato's expression became a mix of shock and complexity.

"The village... war! The Four Great Shinobi Villages working together!"

This barrage of information left Yamato deeply shaken. How had this world changed so drastically?

"And according to what we've learned, Roran wasn't like this before. It seems that the power of the Dragon Vein you mentioned caused a slight deviation in our timeline, leading to entirely different events."

Shirou's calm analysis weighed heavily on Yamato's mind. Was the massive change in this world caused by their interference with the Dragon Vein?

If so, Konoha in this world was now embroiled in an unprecedented war against the Four Great Shinobi Villages...

"I understand now," Yamato muttered as if realizing something. He let out a bitter laugh and sighed:

"I know you won't believe everything I say, but I'll release the seal on my mind. Just promise me you won't harm my comrades."

Seeing Yamato resign himself to the situation, Shirou smiled faintly and nodded lightly.

"Don't worry. We're all Konoha ninjas. Even if we come from different worlds, the Will of Fire has never changed."

"Kushina, stay on guard. I'll handle the memory extraction."

Following Shirou's command, Kushina, uncharacteristically serious, nodded slightly without her usual playfulness.

"Don't worry, Shirou!"

As she spoke, Kushina moved to the window, gazing at the lively but lifeless city below. Under the moonlight, her face turned pale, reflecting her unease.

Her eyes betrayed a rising sense of dread. Based on the information she had heard, the future—or rather, the entirety of this alternate timeline—was vastly different.

"So, Shirou and I..."

At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina pieced together something from the shocked expressions of Yamato and Haruno Sakura, as well as the prior information shared.

It seemed that the Konoha ninjas from the other timeline recognized her, but not Shirou. Instead, they mistook Shirou for another ninja.

Under the moonlight, Kushina turned her head. Time seemed to drag on painfully as she watched Shirou calmly explore the mind of Yamato, the Wood-Style ninja.

Then there was Haruno Sakura, who referred to Tsunade as her mentor.

Shirou, with his eyes closed, began the arduous process of extracting information. Memory extraction was an incredibly taxing jutsu that consumed vast amounts of mental energy.

Once inside someone's mind, it was like watching a movie, allowing the user to explore a person's entire life in fast-forward—even memories the individual had forgotten.

Within a very short time, the user could review days, even an entire lifetime's worth of experiences. However, this placed immense strain on the mind.

Even with his Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Shirou cautiously navigated Yamato's memories, fast-forwarding through them as though using a skip button.

Only when he found what he was looking for did he pause to examine the information in detail.

"I found it! As expected, it contains intel on the Third Shinobi World War, as well as some of Konoha's hidden secrets."

Shirou's expression turned serious as he delved into the critical information. Though the Third Shinobi World War in this timeline had already changed drastically, the information wasn't without value.

For instance, details about the powerful ninjas from various villages who appeared during the war. Such knowledge wasn't something he could glean simply from knowing the original storyline.

The strength of each village's military, their hidden trump cards, and various secrets. Especially since the Konoha of the other timeline had advanced several decades beyond this world.

"These are secrets from Root and the ANBU, along with other classified information..."

In Yamato's memories, Shirou's eyes turned bloodshot from the mental strain, but a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"A parallel world, huh? Perhaps the future will be even more interesting."

Looking at Yamato's mind, Shirou revealed a mysterious smile as his Mangekyō Sharingan slowly spun.

"Sister Tsunade, this is a gift from the other me in this alternate world. Perhaps you should come to this world instead..."

As the eerie light of the Mangekyō flickered, Shirou's spiritual projection gradually faded from Yamato's mind.
