Chapter 381 - Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [381]

The wind and sand swept across the battlefield, causing shock to appear on the faces of both sides of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

They sent only one person!

"Shirou-sensei is being way too reckless."

On the battlefield, Kakashi frowned with concern when he saw the young figure of Uchiha Hikari stepping forward.

Meanwhile, Madara and others on the distant rocks all smiled when they saw this scene.

"Hashirama, it seems the young ones are a little too arrogant. I wonder where that confidence comes from, but I suppose you wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson, would you?"

At this moment, Uchiha Hikari, who had already reached the frontlines, looked at Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and the others in the distance. Her pupils slowly revealed the Sharingan.

As the three-tomoe spun and transformed into the Mangekyō, Senju Hashirama exclaimed in shock, "So young, and she's already awakened the Mangekyō!"

Madara let out a small "oh," then showed an admiring smile and nodded, saying, "No wonder she's so confident. So it's the Mangekyō. At this age, that's truly praiseworthy."

The next moment, as Hikari felt the contempt in the eyes of those across from her, she recalled the lines Lord Shirou had just told her to say, and she coldly declared:

"Do you want to dance as well?!"

NANI!

This familiar, classic catchphrase and domineering tone left Senju Hashirama dumbfounded: "This girl's gone bad!"

Before he could react, Hikari had already finished forming hand signs.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

"It's this level of Fire Release!"

Hashirama exclaimed in shock. Its power was no less than Madara's fire techniques back then.

With hand signs completed, Hikari spewed scorching white flames from her mouth.

The instant the fire jutsu appeared, countless people were left shocked and terrified.

A sea of fire, like a tsunami more than ten meters high, swept across the battlefield like doomsday itself, instantly raising the temperature. The flames were terrifyingly white-hot.

The sky itself seemed to twist under the heat, and no one knew how much the temperature had risen.

"How can there be such a terrifying Fire Release?"

"The intel never said their Fire Release was this strong!"

"Hurry, use Water Release!"

Some people panicked, while others shouted with forced calm. In the distance, the Cloud ninja couldn't help but exclaim.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

There were plenty of Water Release users among the Cloud ninja, and they all rushed forward to unleash their jutsu.

Almost a thousand water-style users combined their powers, and a massive water tsunami clashed with the fire jutsu on the earth covered in yellow soil.

Boom—!

Water and fire collided, filling the air with hissing sounds. Scalding white steam spread across the battlefield.

"Ah—!"

Screams rang out abruptly, then were suddenly cut off. The Fourth Raikage roared, "Watch out for the steam!"

He quickly ordered the front-line ninja to retreat, clearly letting Obito's men take the brunt.

The superheated steam from the clash of fire and water instantly cooked the front-line ninja alive, giving them no chance to react.

Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!

"Watch out! Defend!"

Suddenly, the sky lit up, and the Fourth Raikage shouted a warning.

A terrifying meteor-like fireball appeared in the sky, causing even more panic among the Allied Shinobi Forces.

At that moment, Obito's face turned ashen. He quickly formed hand signs, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, shouted:

"Girl, be careful! I'm extremely skilled in Water Release!"

Even without knowing if the girl was Tsunade's daughter, Tobirama couldn't help but warn her.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

After Tobirama appeared in front, Madara lowered his raised hand, with a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

He could sense the power of this girl's Mangekyō—this was no ordinary Mangekyō. Let that white-haired guy suffer a bit.

"Careful, Tobirama!"

Hashirama also sensed something was wrong and quickly warned.

Tobirama's Water Release only needed two signs. As the meteor-like fireball fell, he spat out a waterfall of water.

The torrent quickly spun into a massive water wall, surrounding everyone in a rotating sphere of defense.

Hiss! Hiss!

As the water and fire clashed, Tobirama's face changed dramatically as he cried out, "No! It's Amaterasu!"

At that moment, he finally understood his brother's warning.

There was black Amaterasu flame within the terrifying fire.

Dōjutsu: Amaterasu!

Dōjutsu: Kagutsuchi!

Under the spinning Mangekyō in Hikari's eyes, in the shocked gazes of countless ninjas, the fire sea like a meteor spun into a fiery storm.

Black flames mixed with red fire, forming a fire tornado!

"This is just like Sasuke's dōjutsu! She can use Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi like this?!"

Kakashi stared in shock. This girl, Uchiha Hikari, was only known to be someone Shirou brought back—they knew nothing else.

Even Shisui and Itachi on the battlefield exclaimed:

"Itachi! Her dōjutsu is the same as Sasuke's!"

"Yes, Shirou-sensei never mentioned it before."

"Sasuke!"

Naruto cried out, while Sasuke watched intently.

Although he had the same dōjutsu, he'd never thought of combining ocular techniques with regular jutsu this way.

He'd thought of using Kagutsuchi to control Amaterasu, but using it under the cover of Fire Release to boost its power—he learned something new.

"Look! A lot of the Edo Tensei bodies are getting burned by Amaterasu!"

The crowd exclaimed, but at that moment, a terrifying roar rang out with a thunderous boom.

"I admit! I didn't expect someone your age to use the Mangekyō like this!"

A huge blue Susanoo burst from the ground, shattering the fire tornado. Hashirama cried out:

"Madara, don't hurt the girl!"

Hashirama worried Madara would go too far, but in Madara's eyes, there was only admiration and excitement.

Madara couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha, watch closely, Hashirama! This is the Uchiha! You were wrong back then, you lost, and you too, Tobirama! Now—"

Before he could finish, a figure appeared above Susanoo. Tobirama shouted, "This is too reckless!"

The next moment, Hikari, icy-faced, clenched her slender fist and smashed it directly down onto Madara's initial form Susanoo.

Monster Strength Punch!

Boom!

In the shocked eyes of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara, the Susanoo, though only in its initial state, was shattered with a single punch.

As the skeleton fragments flew, Tobirama reacted first:

"It's Tsuna's monster strength!"

Hashirama was overjoyed: "She inherited Tsuna's monster strength!"

The moment she landed, Hikari's Mangekyō spun rapidly as she frowned at the three and shouted coldly:

"Is this all you've got? If that's it, then just die!"

So arrogant!

Faced with Hikari's domineering arrogance, Madara was not angry—he was even excited.

This girl was just like him. If Uchiha Shirou was his successor, this girl would have perfectly inherited his arrogance.

At this moment, Madara felt like a proud old grandpa, the more he saw her, the more he liked her.

"Haha, interesting! Very interesting!"

Madara laughed, Mangekyō in his eyes. He didn't stoop to bullying—Mangekyō vs Mangekyō it was.

But the next moment, Madara's pupils shrank.

Not good!

Dōjutsu: Tsukuyomi!

Everyone thought Hikari's Mangekyō abilities were just Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi, but unexpectedly she also had Tsukuyomi.

In that instant, Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama were all caught by Tsukuyomi.

The next moment, with a cold laugh, Hikari grabbed her Uchiha fan and swung it fiercely.

Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!

At that moment, Hashirama's powerful voice echoed as the ground cracked and countless terrifying vines surged forth.

This annoyed Madara, who roared: "Obito! This is my fight! No interference!"

He was furious—this was supposed to be his battle with the younger generation.

Obito, hearing Madara's rebuke, looked extremely displeased. If he wasn't lacking confidence, he wouldn't have summoned Madara at all.

Perhaps Madara's words had an effect, because the Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees stopped halfway, with buds not yet blooming.

"Let me, Uchiha Madara, see your true strength."

Once no one could interfere, Madara grinned in excitement. Shirou had inherited his will, and this girl had inherited his temper.

Haha!

Worthy successor!

The next moment, as the vines scattered, Hikari sliced through them with her fan and charged at Madara.

"Haha, good!"

Madara laughed excitedly, eager to see this girl so like him, not noticing the fleeting cold smile in Hikari's eyes.

"My strength?"

As they clashed, Hikari sneered, mocking Madara so hard he nearly choked.

"You've seen me at my peak?"

Damn!

Hikari's bold words made Madara's eyes widen. This girl was so much like him, but maybe a bit too much.

Meanwhile, the Edo Tensei Hashirama burst out laughing.

"Haha, Madara, this girl's way of provoking people reminds me of someone."

Hashirama's jab left Madara frustrated, but he retorted coldly:

"The Mangekyō already proves the Uchiha bloodline is far superior to the Senju!"

At the mention of bloodlines, Hashirama got riled up too, scratching his head in confusion:

"Madara, did you get hit too hard? That girl just used monster strength!"

Hashirama truly was Madara's lifelong rival, always able to get under his skin.

"Damn it!"

With Hikari wielding her fan, she executed flawless taijutsu, even suppressing Madara for a moment.

Hashirama exclaimed in surprise, while Tobirama's expression grew even darker.

"Brother, the Uchiha are too dangerous. Look at how young this girl is, yet all her taijutsu moves are killing blows. That's an instinct only honed through years of slaughter—just learning it isn't enough!"

Hashirama noticed this too and frowned, glancing at Tsunade in the distance, feeling a chill in his heart.

Tsuna, what are you planning, being so ruthless!

Meanwhile, Shirou and Tsunade watched the battle from afar, completely unaware that all the old guys on the other side had misunderstood.

And the misunderstanding was only growing.

Not only was Hashirama getting angry, but even Madara was showing hints of rage.

The more they fought, the more Madara was stunned—her style was pure Warring States era brutality.

After the founding of the shinobi villages, this kind of savage fighting had gradually faded, or rather, was too cruel.

"Damn! Did your parents teach you this way?!"

Madara, angry, couldn't help but scold, even venting a bit at Shirou and Tsunade—what kind of parents were they?

He had lived in the Warring States era, so of course he had to fight from a young age.

Yet when Hikari heard the rebuke, she also grew angry, her eyes flashing coldly.

"You old man, what are you saying?!"

To Hikari, Shirou was her only light—how dare he bring her parents up?

Not knowing Hikari's true identity, Madara got even angrier at her arrogance.

"Girl, how could your daughter be raised like this? Today, I'll teach you a lesson on their behalf!"

But when Hikari heard this, she got furious too. She knew her seniority—by blood, Madara should call her great-grandmother.

"Who do you think you're teaching?!"

Hikari glared, furious at this old man's audacity.

Madara, too, glared right back. Uchiha Shirou, was now denied—how could he let his daughter be trained as a weapon?

This girl's fighting style was pure weapon-training.

Madara absolutely could not accept this!

The two were furious.

Meanwhile, Shirou was still confused—he'd only told Hikari a few lines. Normally, these old guys wouldn't get this angry.

Why did a few of Madara's classic lines make him snap all of a sudden?
