[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 86

The drizzle continued to fall as if a hole had opened in the sky, endless and unrelenting. Although it was not yet six in the evening, the dark clouds had already dimmed the light across the land. This was the border area between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, the front line of small-scale skirmishes between Konoha and Iwa Ninja. Here, ninjas from both sides were almost constantly engaged in combat.

The losers were eit...

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Applause echoed through the air as Orochimaru watched Toshiro's ninjutsu demonstration. Orochimaru extended his scarlet tongue, licking his lips for the third time since seeing Toshiro's skills. The sight made Toshiro sweat profusely, and he had to resist the urge to cut off the disgusting tongue.

'This guy's habits are really weird and perverted,' Toshiro thought, managing to keep his comp...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 84

The bright moon hung high in the sky, occasionally peeking shyly from behind the clouds to cast a gentle light on the earth below before retreating again.

At the edge of the Konoha camp, a bonfire burned fiercely, its flames dancing in the night breeze and casting ever-changing shadows.

To avoid being sensed by Jiraiya, who was also in the camp, Toshiro moved his practice spot as far away as possible from the ‘To...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 83

In this brutal battlefield, nearly every ninja meets their end after exhausting all their strength, casting aside fear, unwillingness, and other emotions to deliver a last, desperate attack on the enemy. At this critical moment, one must be extremely cautious, as a dying ninja can unleash several times their usual strength, posing a significant threat even in their final moments.

Such was the case with Uchiha Tamako.

With...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 82

Genji was on the verge of abandoning his subordinates to escape alone when his intuition flared, warning him of imminent danger. It felt as if a cold ninja sword was pressed against his neck. His muscles tensed, ready for any emergency, but his reaction came too late. Just as he attempted to burrow deeper underground, a blazing white blade pierced through him, ignoring the several meters of soil between them.

"What is this?" he...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 81

"This is really intense!" Toshiro glanced back at the massive earth and stone dragon charging toward him. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his throat dry as he swallowed hard. It was clear that the Iwa Jonin harbored deep hatred for him, launching fatal attacks without giving him any chance for escape.

"I have to kill you!" Toshiro muttered to himself as he turned and fled. He hadn't gone far when he noticed a short, stocky figur...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 80

Blocking the enemy's attacks with ease, Toshiro felt a strange calmness.

Just as the Iwa jonin Genji had initially feared, Toshiro knew his teammates were dealing with the remaining chunin. Soon, whether facing his current opponent or the hidden Iwa Jonin, they would be like fish on the chopping block—escaping would be their only option.

A beast without its claws, no matter how formidable, can only meet a tragic end aga...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 79

“Fire Release: Pheonix Flower Flame Bullets!”

This jutsu, developed by Toshiro after years of study, was inspired by Naruto’s continuous fire bombs during Pain's invasion of Konoha. Unlike Naruto, Toshiro couldn’t release dozens or hundreds of these compressed fire-attribute chakra shells at once, nor could he use this move to continuously bombard the enemy.

Instead, Toshiro’s ninjutsu was a practical offensive ...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 78

As Toshiro concentrated, his senses expanded over the battlefield, quickly identifying the incoming enemies.

"Judging by the chakra strength, it's a temporary team led by a Jounin," he noted. As his perception deepened, he could clearly discern the chakra signatures: one Jounin, three special Jounin, and several Chuunin.

Slowly placing his hands behind his back, Toshiro made a few deliberate gestures and prepared himself...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 77

“Hey! You know sealing jutsu too?” Minato asked, surprised. Though he had just introduced Toshiro to the group, he hadn’t expected the Uchiha to approach Kushina about such a specialized topic.

Despite his surprise, Minato appreciated how well Toshiro had treated Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, so he overlooked any perceived rudeness.

“I do have some knowledge about sealing techniques. If your questions aren’t too comp...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 76

When she was a child, she used to beat up kids for making fun of her hair. But now, after being with Minato, she has learned to control her temper over such things.

With her previous temper, she would have given him a good lesson just for looking at her like that.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s get started!”

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his girlfriend didn't get angry.

<...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 75

“It’s almost time to go,” Toshiro muttered. 'If I don’t leave soon, the Sage mode will probably end.'

He sighed, lamenting the loss of his ninja sword.

With that, his figure leaped and disappeared into the forest. As he departed, Toshiro wondered if he had gone too far. Treating a girl like Pakura like that, she would definitely hold a grudge against him.

Toshiro spared Pakura, who had fallen uncons...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 74

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Finally, some Sand Ninjas reacted, using this wind release technique—though lacking offensive power—to disperse the steam that obscured everyone's vision.

Clang!

With a casual flick, Toshiro used a ninja sword he had just snatched from a Suna Ninja to deflect an incoming kunai. He paused, shaking his head slightly as his scarlet and menacing Sharingan swept left and right. Obs...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 73

In the Suna Ninja's medical tent, Toshiro lay awake, unable to sleep. He knew he wasn't safe yet and remained vigilant throughout the night.

"It's almost time," he thought, noting that dawn was approaching. He needed to prepare to leave.

Just as he opened his eyes to act, he sensed several people approaching the tent.

'Have I been exposed?'

Toshiro wasn't surprised that they had become suspicious. Alt...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 72

The sun was setting, casting its afterglow on Pakura, beautifying her entire body. With her well-proportioned figure and good height, she appeared almost like a goddess at that moment.

It was no wonder the young Sand Ninja felt embarrassed standing before her.

“Were you attacked by a shadow clone just now?” Pakura asked, glancing at the injured person being carried on his companion’s back. She didn’t think much of...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 71

It seemed that she couldn’t clearly observe the situation. The young captain picked up her telescope again, adjusting it for a clearer view.

With a slight adjustment, the figure in the sky came into sharp focus. She saw the figure falling at high speed, pulling a scroll from his backpack. After unfolding it, he formed a seal with one hand.

It appeared that the scroll contained something that could save his life, and h...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 70

It turned out that the cylindrical object protruding from the rock was a long-tube telescope, secretly observing Toshiro’s movements. As the saying goes, you are looking at the scenery, and people in the scenery are also looking at you.

“Finally, this guy is here. Shoji, it’s up to you now. You must shoot him down immediately!”

“Remember, you have only one shot. If he gets alerted, we won't get another chance to...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 69

With a quick glance, Toshiro made a precise judgment.

The anime didn’t deceive me; this truly is a blessing in disguise!

Silently wiping his imaginary drool, he peeked at Tsunade with his excellent "eyesight."

'There’s no mistake, it’s 106 centimeters!'

'Indeed, a gift from the heavens!'

Meeting Tsunade for the first time left Toshiro completely stunned, making him feel a bit over...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 68

Toshiro slowly made his way to the edge of the crowd. He was unable to see what was happening in the treatment room because a group of onlookers had blocked the entrance.

"Saochi-nee, what's going on inside?"

He gently tapped the shoulder of a young woman outside, Mei-nee’s assistant and a member of the Uchiha clan. Unable to squeeze through, Toshiro's curiosity led him to inquire about the situation from this acquaint...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 67

Dark clouds obscured the rising sun early the following morning, casting a gloomy shadow over the rocky mountain terrain.

After completing his morning training, Toshiro stretched, lifted the tent flap, and headed to his workstation. He had a strict regimen, practicing three times daily with the help of two shadow clones for physical training each session—morning, noon, and evening. In this harsh environment, strength was the...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 66

Once again, Toshiro entered the office that once belonged to Uchiha Shigeyama. Seeing Fugaku seated in the main chair, Toshiro felt a moment of confusion. He was uncertain about the purpose of this summons and whether it boded well or ill.

"I don't know what mission Fugaku-senpai has in mind for me?" Toshiro asked openly, accepting that he couldn't avoid this situation. The worst-case scenario was being sent to the battlefield...

[NTU] [ARC-06-WAR] Chapter : 65

**Several months later**

AN : This chapter mostly has rambling about chakra, sage chakea and using it to improve one's body and mind. If you want, you can skip it.

In Toshiro's home at the Uchiha compound, some unusual sounds emanated from the dojo on the right side of the courtyard. This area, once a clean and empty space for children's practice, had trans...

[NTU] [ARC-05-CHUNIN] Chapter : 64

In the territory of the Land of Fire, near the Cat Village, a huge figure flew low over the ground. As the massive gust of dust dissipated, a small figure, Toshiro, landed steadily on the ground after releasing the summoning technique. He couldn't help but marvel at the advantages of air travel. The journey to the Forgotten island, which took nearly four days by land and sea, had been reduced to less than half a day by riding the lar...

[NTU] [ARC-05-CHUNIN] Chapter : 63

He has a beloved girl and always likes to help the elderly. The key is that he is not very smart. All these traits together make him a candidate Madara is quite satisfied with! However, he still wonders how much potential this child can truly unleash in the end.

Meanwhile, Toshiro had no idea that his one trip to the sea was causing an old man somewhere in the ninja world to experience a dilemma in choosing his successor...

[NTU] [ARC-05-CHUNIN] Chapter : 62

Toshiro began making hand seals with a serious expression. The next experiment would determine if he could practice Sage Mode without any external help.

Not only was he without help, but he also lacked the "special stick" traditionally necessary for practicing the Sage mode.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Despite his seriousness, this ninjutsu was not difficult to perform. Ignoring his shadow clone, Toshiro sat on the groun...

[NTU] [ARC-05-CHUNIN] Chapter : 61

The next morning

On a white beach, the blue sea stretched out, its colorful shells illuminated by the morning light, becoming even more vibrant. The ebb and flow of the waves occasionally caused one or two red-haired crabs to wash ashore.

As the hours passed, a light mist began to spread across the sea. This gave the island a mysterious aura.

Toshiro, enjoying a rare, lazy sleep, opened...

[NTU] [ARC-05-CHUNIN] Chapter : 60

Following Kikumaru through the streets of the abandoned area, Toshiro observed his surroundings with curiosity. It was remarkable that a group of cats could form a small town, complete with shops, salons, and restaurants.

"These cats are impressive. I wonder why some summoning beasts can talk. Is it due to chakra or natural energy?" he mused. Despite his curiosity, he decided to set those questions aside for now....

[NTU] [ARC-05-CHUNIN] Chapter : 59

At this moment, Toshiro was unaware of the events unfolding in Sunagakure. Instead, he found himself facing the skepticism of his companions.

"Hey, Toshiro! Are you really not going to compete in the next rounds?"

"Yes, I plan to forfeit the next match."

"Forfeit? Why? With your strength, you can easily win it all and get the first place!"

"Why are you giving up all of a sudden?"

Faced with their ba...

[NTU] [ARC-04-CHUNIN-EXAMS] Chapter : 58

"Hien, it seems you'll have to delay your revenge for a while longer."

Shimura Hien's face darkened at Sarutobi Renji's words. Undeterred by his companion's expression, Renji continued, "With your current strength, you won't be able to take on Uchiha Toshiro for a few more years without hard and efficient training."

"Unless..."

Renji lowered his voice and motioned for Hien to lean in, indicating he had something ...

[NTU] [ARC-04-CHUNIN-EXAMS] Chapter : 57

At this moment, four or five high-ranking Konoha officials were present in the stands. However, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was absent. He was attending a high-level meeting in the village to strategize for the impending ninja war.

Just a few days ago, Danzo delivered shocking news. The Third Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village, reputed to be the strongest Kazekage in history, had mysteriously disappeared and had not be...
