Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

'Lord Danzo...'

A sense of powerlessness involuntarily surfaced in her heart; no matter how confident Jiu was, she didn't think she could be Jiang Si's opponent.

This mission is almost certainly going to end in failure.

Even to put it bluntly, there was a 99% chance that he would die here, but Jiu still wanted to fight for that last 1% chance of survival!

"Buzz!"

There's absolutely no need for further explanation.

In an instant.

Those outstretched hands.

The parasitic worms swarmed out in an overwhelming cloud above the dove's head. The sheer number of them would surely make any ordinary person's scalp crawl.

But the general on the opposite side remained completely unmoved.

"Heh heh, it seems we're going to have to fight to the death? Very well, let me see just how exquisite the insect control techniques of the Aburame clan really are!"

Jiang Si's lips curled up slightly, revealing a chilling intent.

"boom!"

The Sharingan was activated directly, emanating a scarlet color. Along with the burst of chakra, a bright blue aura spread out from the surface of the body, adhering to the surface, exuding a violent aura.

'The Lightning Release armor of Kumogakure!?'

Jiu identified the lightning technique on Jiang Si's body almost immediately.

"Secret Technique—The Insect Deception Technique!"

Get started first!

This is an opportunity that must be seized first, only the slightest chance can be obtained.

Without any hesitation, Jiu unleashed a burst of chakra in less than a second.

A swarm of rolling insects!

A wild, overwhelming dance erupted.

A terrifying wave formed directly, aiming at the location of the general and fiercely rushing towards it.

"Lightning Release - False Darkness Technique!"

In response.

The marks that Si Na formed at lightning speed.

"Sizzle s ...!"

In an instant.

Thunderous Strike!

A terrifying beam of electric light suddenly burst forth.

"boom!"

The bolt of lightning that struck head-on forcefully shattered the swarm of insects, creating a huge hole in it.

at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

With a stomp of his foot, another burst of chakra erupted from Jiang Si, and he leaped forward, blazing brightly through the center of the torn swarm of insects, heading straight towards Jiu's location.

A glint of cold light appeared first.

A chilling atmosphere greets you.

Jiu's expression was stern, but he showed no sign of panic.

"Snapped!"

A lightning-fast step back.

"Secret Technique—Insect Rain Technique!"

The outstretched arms, inside the sleeves.

Two more surging swarms of insects suddenly burst forth, soaring upwards and swooping down.

The area is fully covered.

"Humph!"

A cold glint appeared in Jiang Si's pupils.

"Clang!"

The blade is drawn out at lightning speed.

"Shh!"

Accompanied by the spreading lightning.

"Splash!"

"Pfft!"

"!!!"

This destructive thunderbolt swept across the land.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The spell was easily broken again, and its advance was unstoppable.

"!?"

A figure closing in close.

This left the dove with no way to escape.

A sense of overwhelming pressure.

"drink!"

The sharp gleam that burst forth.

Top to bottom.

The blade descended swiftly and fiercely.

"Pfft!"

The blade struck Jiu's left shoulder with precision, but just as it pierced through, Jiang Si raised an eyebrow slightly.

This feels completely different.

Most importantly, there was no splattering of blood.

"Buzz!"

It only took less than a second.

The 'dove' in the opposite position immediately transformed into countless flying insects and scattered.

"Insect clones?"

Jiang Si murmured something under his breath.

Those crimson Sharingan eyes swirling around.

"Is it there!?"

A powerful sense of perception that spreads outwards.

It also easily located the dove's true form in the shortest amount of time.

327. Crushing and Agreement

They took advantage of the insect swarms as cover.

This narrow escape was barely a second away, and the location was completely locked down. In another corner, Jiu's expression changed again. He knew very well how big the gap was between himself and the Uchiha clan genius opposite him.

In the battle to break away a year and a half ago, Kuru also participated as Danzo's bodyguard. The power of the shogun penetrated deep into Kuru's heart. The Susanoo that followed, as well as that terrifying 'Lightning Release Technique,' all left an extremely deep psychological imprint on Kuru.

That was something I absolutely could not resist.

Hato, who thought she had a chance to escape after seeing that Shoji hadn't used his Mangekyou Sharingan, wanted to use her parasitic insects as cover to retreat. Unfortunately, she was locked onto by the enemy as soon as she made some distance.

'Can his perception and insight be this strong even without the Mangekyou Sharingan? No, it should be said that this guy has gotten even stronger in the past year and a half! Compared to that time!'

Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

"boom!"

Facing the opposite side.

Shoji's chakra erupted again, forcing his figure in.

'hateful!'

Clenched lips.

It's clear that the distance can't be widened any further; the only option is to bite the bullet and face it head-on.

"Secret Technique—Insect Cloud Whirlwind Technique!"

The battle between the two had entered its final, intense phase.

Meanwhile, as Tsukasa was pressing one of Danzo's most powerful Root members, in another location, Nono and Kabuto, a special mother and son, had an in-depth conversation, confirming each other's identities and exchanging information about the past few years!

"So, Dean, are you really planning to just surrender to Iwagakure like this?"

Kabuto couldn't say whether his headmaster's decision was correct or not, but it seemed to be the only option under those circumstances, even though Shoji seemed to be just giving empty advice to Nono.

It's what fans of the original work jokingly call the protagonist's "talk-no-jutsu" (a form of

But in fact, there is a fundamental difference between the two. What is "talk-jutsu"? It is talking big without any practical significance, and then making the enemy believe you. That is "talk-jutsu". Just like the two most bizarre scenes of Naruto in the original work, persuading Nagato and Obito, every word Naruto said was a utopian persuasion.

What does it mean to say things like "I will never give up," "Peace will surely come," or "I will definitely become Hokage and change the world"?
