Suddenly, a lizard appeared beside him.
"What?! The Fourth!"
Baki's face paled instantly in shock.
The border war between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire continued without pause.
It had intensified further, now that Konoha's first and second divisions were locked in combat with Sunagakure's ambush units and main forces!
Yet nearly everyone was forced to look toward the center of the battlefield, at that blazing red light flashing intensely.
Though he was just a child, relying solely on the Eight Gates technique let him fight at most on level with a Tokubetsu Jonin.
But his stamina seemed practically endless, like he never felt fatigue!
"Damn it! What kind of secret technique is this? It boosts strength so drastically yet seems to consume absolutely nothing?!"
A bandaged Jonin from Sunagakure stared intently at the scene. Even he dared not fight using the same method as Shiki Uzumaki.
If others fought that way, their chakra would be drained quickly.
But how exactly did that kid do it?
"Fascinating," murmured Shiki Uzumaki. Though he knew his chakra reserves couldn't match Naruto's near-limitless ones,
They were far beyond that of an average Jonin. He understood that raw chakra amount didn't necessarily determine combat strength—many ninja with vast reserves still failed to reach the top tier.
Still, having so much readily available chakra definitely gave him an edge on the battlefield.
"Hmm..."
No one noticed that Shiki Uzumaki, who remained flickering across the battlefield, wore a slightly contemplative expression.
"Chakra combines physical energy and spiritual strength. I've always trained rigorously, just like Lee and Master Guy."
Everyone knew Lee and Might Guy couldn't use ninjutsu, but that certainly didn't mean they had weak chakra reserves.
Shiki suddenly seemed to grasp something.
"But then again, perhaps this is an opportunity to see what level my true strength actually is." [To Be Continued]
Chapter 216: Crisis
"No way! We absolutely cannot allow that kid to keep this up!"
A bandaged-headed Jonin from Sunagakure watched Shiki Uzumaki darting among enemy ninja like lightning.
That silver-white blade, empowered by his unique chakra, sliced through wave after wave of incoming jutsu!
It truly was a deadly performance—a dance of death itself!
Wherever flashes of red hair appeared, blood followed closely behind.
Right now, this twelve-year-old from Konoha moved like a raging storm—like the Sickle Weasel Technique, only far more savage.
Truthfully speaking, there were still gaps between this child's abilities and those of a full-fledged Jonin. Yet somehow, both his endurance and chakra seemed limitless.
And that mysterious technique of his—used repeatedly without showing any signs of exhaustion—only added to his terrifying efficiency.
The bandaged Jonin could hold back no longer and began forming hand seals.
[Wind Release: Wind Slicing Array!]
Then, a violent gust of wind howled around Shiki Uzumaki, swirling with flying sand and dust.
At the very eye of this storm stood Shiki Uzumaki himself!
"Shiki Uzumaki! Are you alright?!"
Almost simultaneously, Kusei had already shouted out.
Nara Shiomi tightly furrowed his brows. He recognized the fierce whirlwind surrounding Shiki.
[Wind Release: Wind Killing Array] wasn't simply surrounding someone with wind.
"If the wind blades continued to attack the person at the center without any defensive ninjutsu, survival would be nearly impossible."
Actually, within this unit, only these few people had some interaction with Shiki Uzumaki before.
As a result, only they could afford to briefly look away from the battle and check on Shiki.
An almost fatal situation—Kusei couldn't even think of any way for Shiki to block this attack.
But any attempt to rush in now... Would already be too late.
"Haha, it seems your Konoha ninja aren't worth much after all. I suppose that child must have been considered a genius in your village to be brought to this battlefield? But he's about to die! Furthermore, this war will end with Sunagakure emerging victorious!"
Sakurai Kōji stood at the center of the battlefield, shouting loudly.
His voice could penetrate every corner of the battlefield. However, naturally, he wasn't expressing personal feelings—he was trying to demoralize the enemy.
Whether an average chunin or even a jonin lives or dies certainly cannot affect the overall battle.
But if one could demoralize the enemy by eliminating a particularly unique foe, it wouldn't be a bad strategy.
There was only one special child among the enemy ranks.
Sakurai Kōji clearly understood Suna's current situation. He had to use every means possible to ensure this war proceeded smoothly.
"I hope the Kazekage will send our reinforcements soon."
Within the Wind Killing Array, Shiki Uzumaki struggled to dodge the slicing wind blades.
"Damn it! There are way too many wind blades!"
Even using his speed advantage and blocking many with his sword,
The seemingly endless wind blades still overwhelmed him.
So whenever possible, Shiki instinctively used his back or other less vulnerable spots to absorb attacks his sword couldn't block.
