Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 197: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

Roran, under the Gothic-style spires.

In the rain, three chakra-sealed ninjas hung suspended on a towering and sacred church.

"How did the world come to this!"

Yamato couldn't help but feel shocked. From the beginning, after spending time with Naruto, none of them had considered that it might have been Naruto's impulsive actions that led to this.

"This is...!?"

A terrifying and powerful chakra emerged. Two figures appeared atop the spire, they were staring intently at the violent chakra in the distance.

Beside Shirou, Kushina gently straightened his white robes. Only then did she slowly turn her gaze toward the distance, her expression revealing a hint of killing intent.

"Shirou, this is the power of the Nine-Tails!"

"Hmm."

Shirou nodded lightly. The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun as he saw Naruto Uzumaki in the distance, radiating the terrifying power of the Nine-Tails while crouching on the ground.

As expected, it was Naruto Uzumaki returning, recklessly charging straight forward.

From the spires of Roran in the distance, Naruto Uzumaki, having narrowly escaped death, reappeared. When he saw Captain Yamato, Sai, and Sakura hanging lifelessly from the spire, rage consumed him.

"Damn it! You actually..."

"Useless rage."

When Naruto's fury erupted, Shirou's indifferent comment caused Naruto's anger to explode even further.

"I will never forgive you!"

With a powerless roar, Naruto Uzumaki's gaze remained fixed on his teammates being hung up as bait, while his parents—whom he had only just met briefly—had vanished before he could even say a single word.

["You damn brat! I'm not helping you; I just don't want to be controlled by this world's Sharingan!"]

Within Naruto's body, the Nine-Tails roared angrily, its eyes filled with dread. As Naruto recklessly unleashed the Nine-Tails' power, the beast struggled to prevent its essence from being consumed.

The Nine-Tails understood clearly: if they didn't return to their original world soon, Naruto, as this world's Jinchūriki, would eventually be played to death. Its fate would likely mirror that of this world's Nine-Tails—sealed and enslaved.

Being imprisoned was bad enough, but being locked up and used like a slave? That was too much for any fox to bear!

ROAR!

Suddenly, a deafening beastly roar erupted. Naruto Uzumaki's body began to emit a tangible, terrifying black chakra. A sixth tail emerged behind him.

["Brat! I've already suppressed my full power. Quickly defeat him and go back!"]

Following the Nine-Tails' enraged roar, Naruto Uzumaki erupted into the terrifying six-tailed state. However, within his eyes, there was still a trace of clarity.

Shirou standing tall on the spire grew increasingly serious as he observed the skeletal framework beginning to form around Naruto's chakra cloak.

"Six-tailed mode? Then I can finally get serious!"

Naruto's six-tailed state had once clashed with Pain's Deva Path, a battle that demonstrated immense strength. In this form, Naruto's power could overpower most Kage-level opponents.

"Shirou!"

Witnessing the six-tailed transformation, Kushina furrowed her brow and spoke in a low voice:

"I can barely control the Four-Tails state, and I can only maintain Five-Tails for five minutes at most. The power of Six-Tails is terrifying. We should fight together—"

Before she could finish, Shirou smiled and waved her off.

"Kushina, you have a more important task. Before that, let me test the strength of this Nine-Tails Jinchūriki from another world."

Shirou's confident voice echoed as Kushina took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"Understood. This sealing technique will take some time to prepare."

Among the three women, Tsunade had awakened her pursuit of strength due to the darkness within the village, while Mikoto sought to protect what she cherished. Only Kushina had always been the weakest, lacking the ambition to grow stronger.

But this time, Kushina's desire for power surpassed anyone else's. Her ambition soared. She wanted to crush her enemies.

Another world? She was going to invade it!

Driven by her newfound hunger for power, Kushina was unusually decisive and resolute. Without hesitation, she disappeared into the distance.

As white smoke rose from the sealing scroll, a stone sealing platform appeared.

"In the past, I never considered these things. I never prepared ahead of time. If I had, I wouldn't have let Shirou face this alone..."

Gritting her teeth, Kushina Uzumaki prepared the sealing platform, her eyes burning with determination.

She vowed this would be the last time! From now on, no matter how remote the possibility, she would prepare every tool and method she could.

"Shirou! Next time, Kushina will be a worthy ninja, not someone hastily preparing a sealing altar at the last minute!"

Many powerful sealing techniques required specialized tools, such as the candles Kushina was now lighting on the altar using her sealing arts.

While Kushina moved away from the battlefield to make her preparations, a thunderous roar erupted in the distance.

A chakra filled with vitality appeared within her sensory range. A green aura of chakra wrapped around Naruto Uzumaki, suppressing the Nine-Tails' power.

"Damn it! I still need to rescue Sakura! I still need to find Sasuke..."

A hoarse voice echoed as Naruto Uzumaki's will hover dangerously close to breaking.

The chakra necklace around his neck radiated the essence of the First Hokage. Observing this from afar, Shirou smiled.

This Naruto came from a timeline where he had just defeated Kakuzu, with Pain yet to invade Konoha. Thus, the First Hokage's necklace was still intact, and Naruto had yet to master Sage Mode.

"Die!"

In a near-mindless rage, Six-Tails Naruto roared, tearing the necklace from his neck. As his massive Tailed Beast claw prepared to crush the necklace, a streak of lightning suddenly appeared.

Shirou, clad in his Lightning Armor, went full throttle. With a perfectly executed kick, he struck Six-Tails Naruto squarely in the face.

The immense force of the blow carried a sound like the air itself being torn apart, sending Naruto flying like a cannonball. His body smashed through three buildings in succession.

As the life-filled necklace gently descended, glowing faintly, it landed in Shirou's lightning-clad hand. Lifting his head, Shirou gazed at the figure in the rubble and shook his head.

"You're nothing but a beast with brute strength."

ROAR!

The oppressive aura of the Six-Tails state weighed heavily, akin to the gravity of a massive summon beast. Despite its weight, its speed was astonishing. In an instant, it vanished and reappeared, attacking Shirou.

With a resounding crash, the ground was left in shambles. Shirou, activating his Mangekyō, saw a fiery red figure charging at him with immense speed.

"So fast!"

Blocking a direct attack from Six-Tails Naruto, Shirou was forced back, his heels carving deep grooves into the ground before he finally stopped. The next moment, two massive chakra arms joined together into a fist and came crashing down.

"Let me show you the difference between us!"

The ensuing battle unleashed devastating shockwaves, collapsing building after building. Six-Tails Naruto's destructive power was incredible, his chakra waves leaving nothing but ruin in their wake.

Yet Shirou, moving like a bolt of lightning, seemed to gradually gain the upper hand.

His attacks, swift as lightning, combined with the dynamic vision of his Mangekyō Sharingan, made it nearly impossible for Six-Tails Naruto to escape his sight.

"Too slow... too slow... Come on, faster! Aren't you the one who shouts about pursuing your ninja way and denying others' voices so loudly?"

Shirou's mocking voice echoed, driving Naruto into a further rage. Or rather, the Naruto before him was clinging to the last vestiges of clarity.

As the two clashed again, the shockwaves blew down more buildings. With a roar, Six-Tails Naruto began condensing a terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth.

Upon seeing this scene, Shirou broke into an excited smile.

During Pain's battle against the six-tailed Naruto form, he was completely suppressed. It wasn't that the Deva Path was weak, but rather because he wasn't a taijutsu specialist. Shirou, however, was different. With his specialization in both ninjutsu and taijutsu, he could confidently claim that, apart from the Third Raikage, no one in the ninja world could rival him in open combat.

Even the future Fourth Raikage fell slightly short!

"Heh, finally, something that can excite me a little."

Surrounded by a crackling storm of lightning, Shirou roared as terrifying lightning burst from his hands.

S-Rank Ninjutsu: Chidori!

Though he appeared faster now, it was mainly due to the Mangekyō Sharingan's superior dynamic vision.

In terms of destructive power, the Tailed Beasts certainly lived up to their reputation as ultimate weapons.

"Uzumaki Naruto! You self-righteous fool, always thinking you're right, forcing your ideals onto others. Look at what you've done to Roran! It's been destroyed because of you..."

With a single Chidori, Shirou suddenly appeared in front of the Six-Tails. The lightning-infused hand directly pushed the terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb back into the Six-Tails' mouth.

As he roared, Shirou struck Naruto's jaw with a powerful punch and followed it up with a spinning kick, sending the massive Six-Tails flying like a cannonball.

At the same time, the terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb exploded, the blinding white light illuminating the heavens and earth.

"Not enough! This isn't enough! The Six-Tails is still too weak!"

Lightning flickered around him as a look of excitement crept into Shirou's eyes. This kind of all-out, blood-pumping battle exhilarated him.

No wonder Madara, that old man, was so thrilled by the rush of heated combat. It turns out that humans inherently possess a violent nature.

The Six-Tails, now fully controlled by the rampaging Naruto, roared even more ferociously. Its attacks became increasingly wild, covering vast areas indiscriminately and surging toward Uchiha Yoru like a storm.

The sheer destructive power of their battle engulfed all of Roran in the flames of war. However, most of the country's inhabitants were puppets, so mass panic and widespread casualties were avoided.

Hidden deep within the ruins, the centipede-like Mukade watched the battle in terror. His desperation to escape this world grew stronger.

"Damn it! This world is too dangerous. The infinite power of the Dragon Vein isn't enough—I need to further enhance myself. When the time comes, I'll conquer this world..."

Amid the terrifying explosions of Tailed Beast energy, Shirou grew increasingly exhilarated. Only through real combat could he refine his fighting techniques and discover his weaknesses.

"Beasts are beasts because they lack reason!"

Shirou's unrestrained laughter filled the air, further enraging the Nine-Tails within Naruto's subconscious.

["Damn Uchiha! That arrogant tone again! Brat, get a hold of yourself!"]

The last person to call it a beast was a Uchiha, and now here was another one. It seemed the Tailed Beasts and the Uchiha clan were fated to clash.

Encased in a lightning storm, Shirou's attacks were swift and relentless, each blow as powerful as a thunderclap. In the sealed space, even the Nine-Tails were momentarily shocked.

This power... Damn it! It was too similar to the monstrous strength of another ninja who once tormented it.

The monstrous strength of the Senju clan!

As Shirou fought with unrestrained excitement, employing this straightforward combat style, he utilized the Cherry Blossom Impact technique he had learned from Haruno Sakura. Integrating it with his power proved to be incredibly effective.

Ever since he had fused with Wood Release cells, his physical constitution had changed, granting him the monstrous strength of the Senju clan—though not on the level of Tsunade.

Under Shirou's storm-like assault, large swaths of the black Nine-Tails chakra were stripped away, gradually revealing Naruto's real body beneath, his skin burned.

"How is this possible?!"

As Naruto began to regain his senses, he was shocked to find himself completely overwhelmed. He couldn't muster any resistance against the sheer force of these attacks.

With a thunderous crash, Shirou stomped on Naruto's face, towering over him with a cold, arrogant expression.

"Do you still spout that naive nonsense about mutual understanding between people?"

"I..."

Suddenly, Shirou's fingers struck Naruto's abdomen with immense force, making his eyes widen as blood spurted from his mouth.

Seal Technique: Five Elements Seal!

Naruto's body was sent hurtling into the rubble with a deafening crash. Standing amidst the raging winds, Shirou revealed a domineering smile as he slowly approached the ruins.

At the same time, within the rubble, Naruto lay on the ground, visibly weakened. The Tailed Beast chakra surrounding him visibly dissipated. Inside the seal, the Nine-Tails roared in frustration.

["Damn it! A sealing technique?!"]

"This isn't over..."

As the immense power faded, Naruto coughed up blood. But the moment he saw Shirou's figure approaching anger flared in his eyes.

"I, Uzumaki Naruto, will never give up! That's my ninja way!"

Summoning a Rasengan, he lunged at Shirou. However, in the next instant, a sickening crack rang out. Naruto's pupils shrank as he realized his arm had been twisted into an unnatural angle.

With one hand gripping Naruto's wrist, Shirou's overwhelming strength snapped his joint. Then, under Naruto's shocked and pained gaze, Shirou forcibly pressed the Rasengan into Naruto's chest.

The Rasengan's terrifying power shattered the wall behind him, driving Naruto's body deeper into the rubble.

"The game is over. Your Six-Tails form is underwhelming, and I've lost my patience."

With the characteristic arrogance of the Uchiha, Shirou coldly smirked. He then snapped Naruto's other arm with a punch and crushed his legs underfoot.

Naruto's agonized screams echoed through the night, creating a scene of utter brutality.

"I'm done playing."

Shaking his head in disappointment, Shirou's eyes glinted with a cold smile. The Six-Tails' combat strength was too weak, and even his sensory ninjutsu couldn't detect anything unusual.

There could only be one explanation.

"Minato..."

With a cold laugh, Shirou grabbed the limp, dog-like Naruto by the collar and began dragging him toward Kushina, who was already waiting.

...

Meanwhile, in a certain barrier, a shadow clone of Naruto sat cross-legged. As the sounds of battle faded in the distance, the clone opened its bright blue eyes.

"Just as I thought, his goal is the Nine-Tails."

The voice coming from Naruto's mouth carried a calm maturity. It was clear that the last remnants of Minato's consciousness resided in this clone, having orchestrated the entire strategy.

"Father!"

"Naruto, there's no time to talk. If my plan works, shutting down the Dragon Vein should send all of you back to your original world..."
