Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 345: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

Hokage Office Building Rooftop.

As a black space portal opened, everyone—Team Guy, Jiraiya, and Kakashi—showed shocked expressions.

"So this is another world!"

Everyone was shocked, especially Rock Lee and Hinata, who both looked full of amazement and hope.

As long as they went to the other world, they could be restored.

"Alright, let's go. The estimated time is about half a month, but in the other world, it'll probably be about two years for you."

With a calm gaze, Tsunade watched the group disappear into the space vortex until the rift closed.

"Now Akatsuki should be targeting the last two Tailed Beasts."

"The Eight-Tails, huh? That might be just right."

Shirou's Mangekyo Sharingan slowly closed, revealing a meaningful smile.

It's not only Akatsuki who is collecting the Tailed Beasts.

...

Kumo Lightning Gorge.

Under the bright sun, a terrifying explosion echoed among the mountains.

On distant peaks, three figures clearly observed the battle from afar.

Because Deidara hadn't met Sasuke, he was still alive, currently circling above on a white clay bird, vigilantly watching his surroundings.

Below, Kisame Hoshigaki, fused with his sword Samehada, had turned into a giant shark, gaining the advantage in a huge water prison.

The combination of Kisame and Samehada was a perfect counter to Jinchuriki who relied on overwhelming chakra. freewebnøvel.com

In this battle, Kisame didn't use Zetsu as a decoy, so he didn't fake his death.

Even the powerful Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, was at a disadvantage.

"Shirou-sensei, do we need to act?"

Far away in the mist, the three were Uchiha Shirou, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uchiha Hikari.

Sasuke frowned as he watched the fight. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was strong but countered by Kisame.

At this level, there were still elemental advantages and counters.

"Looks like we don't need to act."

Shirou shook his head with a smile. His Mangekyo Sharingan could see the situation clearly, but not everything; in the end, it was a Uzumaki sensory talent that picked up something.

"As expected of the Eight-Tails' tail-severing clone jutsu. Even Mangekyo can't see through it. It's on par with Wood Style clones."

In the original, even Sasuke's Mangekyo couldn't see through Killer Bee's clone technique. It was mentioned in data books that even Mangekyo couldn't distinguish real from fake.

This time, Kisame and Deidara also didn't notice.

"A clone technique even Mangekyo can't see through..."

Sasuke became solemn. Even with his eyes at this level, an undetectable clone jutsu was worth his attention.

"Sasuke, don't be blinded by the Mangekyo. The ninja world has many mysterious jutsu."

The two exchanged calmly, while Hikari, always looking like a child, followed silently.

As they traveled, Sasuke often glanced at the other Uchiha of this world.

He never expected there were more Uchiha!

But it was awkward—by seniority, he'd have to call her great-grandmother.

"Alright, my Uzumaki sensory talent has found the Eight-Tails. Sasuke, follow my Wood Style clone to capture it elsewhere. Since this is Cloud Village, I have some business."

"Yes!"

Sasuke took a deep breath. Though he couldn't see through the clone, with Shirou's guidance, he managed to sense the hidden chakra.

After Kisame and Deidara captured the Eight-Tails and quickly left on the clay bird, they didn't notice the people hiding in the mountains.

The battle's aftershocks alarmed Cloud Village, but it was too far away.

The Fourth Raikage A led a large force but found nothing, only the devastated battlefield.

"Damn! Akatsuki! I'm calling a Five Kage Summit—I'll never let you get away with this!"

A's angry roar echoed in the sky.

Meanwhile, Sasuke followed Shirou's Wood Style clone in pursuit of Killer Bee, who had escaped.

Shirou and Hikari boldly entered Cloud Village.

"This village is familiar."

Returning to Cloud, even in a different world, seeing the stark black and white Kumo in the streets, Shirou couldn't help but sigh.

Shirou led Hikari into a luxurious hot spring, renting it for the day.

Just as they entered, two more figures appeared.

Dark reddish-brown-skinned Mabui and fair-skinned, voluptuous Samui.

"Lord Shirou!"

But the two left the bathhouse, exchanging serious looks.

Walking down the street, seeing the Cloud Village, Samui's eyes filled with angry hatred, especially at the continued oppression of white Kumo.

"Sister Mabui, I have an idea!"

Mabui narrowed her eyes, coolly taking out a Flying Thunder God kunai.

"I agree, but first, we need to make our counterparts here face reality!"

They smiled at each other.

No matter which world, they couldn't let go of this hatred—hatred born from discrimination.

Cloud's oppression was everywhere; the threat was only hidden because no one was paying attention yet.

...

Cloud Village, Raikage Office.

"Sigh, the Fourth Raikage is too reckless. Can't these village issues be a little easier?"

This world's Mabui looked helpless at the pile of paperwork.

"Mabui."

A different-looking, more charismatic, and sexily-dressed Samui entered.

Mabui, massaging her brow, said:

"I know you're unhappy with how I handled things last time, but you have to understand—Okina's parents are related to the Raikage's family..."

Samui's eyes flashed with surprise, then understanding.

"Mabui, you misunderstood. I'm here for something else this time."

"Something else?"

Mabui looked puzzled. With a smile, Samui took her arm, and Mabui could only agree.

"Let's go, I'm treating you to the best wagyu and a hot spring."

"Fine, but you know that case is settled and can't be changed."

"Don't worry."

So, with a smile, Samui coaxed Mabui out of the office.

No one would suspect this Samui was from another world.

Similarly, the Mabui from the other world found it easy to seek out people as the Raikage's assistant.

She smoothly invited Samui, who'd just returned home from a mission, out.

All four had the same destination: the bathhouse.

In the hot spring, in separate pools, each room had a Samui and a Mabui.

But neither realized the companion with them wasn't the one they knew.

Floating sake cups, blushing skin—the four women began to relax.

"Damn it! If only the Gold and Silver Brothers were still around, they'd never dare..."

A usually reserved Samui vented her anger after a few drinks, lamenting years of injustice.

They'd suffered under black kumo rule for too long, and after the fall of the Gold and Silver Brothers, any white ninja with Kage-level talent died in battle. There was a conspiracy.

"Samui, you're drunk."

Mabui watched Samui grow bold and emotional, even standing up and flashing her pale skin.

"I'm not drunk! I'm just not willing! Don't say it doesn't happen—just look around..."

Samui, both angry and wronged, remembered her childhood in the other world; this world was the same.

"Will white kumo never rise?"

A similar scene played out in the next room.

This world's Samui was surprised—the usually cool Mabui was the Fourth Raikage's assistant.

But now it was Mabui venting her anger.

"Samui, look at you—even your skin is so white. Why do we have to be treated differently? Black Kumo look down on white Kumo..."

Mabui spoke bitterly, showing her dark reddish-brown skin, so different from Samui's pale, full figure.

A few drinks in, emotional barriers dropped.

But as they opened up, a black space membrane enveloped the hot spring.

When the energy faded, the four were gone from their world.

Even Uchiha Hikari and Shirou vanished from this world.

...

Meanwhile, Sasuke seemed to sense something, covering his eyes and frowning.

"Is Shirou-sensei's plan starting? Well, it doesn't matter—the flow of time in the two worlds is different."

At the same time, Shirou's Wood Style clone smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, Sasuke. There's a Mangekyo technique sealed in your eyes so you can return anytime, plus there are backups in Konoha."

"I understand. Maybe it'll be a long time in the other world, but here it's only a few hours."

The two talked openly; Shirou never hid his plan for this world from Sasuke.

Honesty for honesty.

To reduce casualties, Konoha had the initiative, and the plan for Cloud Village was simple: swap a few people...

Then, a coup d'etat.

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is daring—he's almost out of Cloud's territory. But that's fine."

As they tailed him, Killer Bee had already left Cloud behind.

...

Shirou's World.

"How is this possible!"

Samui and Mabui, stepping out of the hot springs, stared in shock at the blooming, peaceful world.

Konoha!

And the Hokage Rock!

They were dumbfounded. Behind them stood another version of themselves.

Two pairs of Mabui and Samui stared at each other.

"Who are you!"

"What are you trying to do!"

Mabui and Samui glared warily at their identical counterparts.

The Konoha-ninja Mabui and Samui nodded calmly:

"We've explained before; this world is the perfect world. Your world is wrong—in either world, black Kumo should..."

"Also, you're so weak, our other-world selves!"

In an instant, a Lightning Release and a Flying Thunder God appeared, and the Konoha versions of Samui and Mabui stood behind them.

The Cloud Mabui and Samui broke out in cold sweat.

So fast!

Two worlds, two different developments, completely shattered their worldview.

In shock, they were stripped of their Cloud forehead protectors and walked on Konoha's streets.

"Now, you'll get to know this world. There's no discrimination here.

We're taking your Cloud headbands. For now, you'll take our place. If you still don't wake up, sorry—for Lord Shirou's plan! For world peace! Even if you're us from another world, we won't show mercy..."

Walking the streets, seeing how different everything was, even becoming Konoha ninja, Mabui and Samui were shocked.

"This is a real world!"

"The Fourth Hokage here is a Uchiha, and this Cloud has experienced a racial division..."

The deeper they learned, the more shocked they became.

No matter how the two worlds developed, they saw the future of their world.
