Hokage: I Am an Uchiha with the Power to Extract Entries

Fire Style…

This is Uchiha's specialty.

The advantage of this technique lies not only in its devastating power but also in the searing heat the flames bring. This intense heat can distort the air itself, creating a suffocating shockwave.

In an instant, Yuma formed the hand seals.

With a powerful leap, he gathered chakra in his throat, sparks dancing at the corners of his mouth.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction!"

A meteor-like sagittal fireball descended under Yuma's control, targeting the crowded courtyard below. As the fiery projectile was about to impact, it exploded into an immense sea of flames.

The blazing inferno unleashed an unbearable heatwave that distorted the air, creating a shockwave that rippled outward with devastating force.

The sand ninjas, caught off guard, panicked.

"What is that? Such a terrifying Fire Style!"

"You fool! It's an enemy attack. Defend yourselves before the flames consume us!"

The fiery onslaught scorched several sand ninjas who failed to react in time. Those who managed to defend themselves used various jutsu but were still thrown back by the sheer impact.

At this moment, chaos reigned among the sand ninjas.

But amidst the turmoil, one figure remained calm—Scorpion.

He understood the source of the attack instantly. A wry smile appeared on his face.

"Only the Uchiha clan of Konoha would dare to attack us in the heart of the Wind Country."

As he retrieved a scroll from his robes, the iron sand in the courtyard surged forward, extinguishing the flames. Scorpion recognized this intervention as the work of his leader, the Third Kazekage.

"In that case, I'll guard the Daimyo and his son," Scorpion muttered. He understood Konoha's objective clearly. While the Kazekage would handle the attackers, it was his duty as the second-in-command to protect their mission's target.

However, just as he prepared to move, a shadow descended from above.

"Sorry, but I can't let you go any further," a calm voice said.

Scorpion looked up to see Uchiha Yuma, his Sharingan gleaming crimson. The young ninja's gaze was sharp and unwavering, his presence commanding.

"Those eyes... and that crest..." Scorpion frowned. "You must be the Uchiha responsible for that Fire Style. Impressive, but you're too young to be a threat."

Yuma remained silent, his Sharingan spinning as he analyzed the situation. He knew Scorpion's words were meant to distract him—puppet masters were known for setting traps during conversations.

Deciding to act decisively, Yuma gathered his chakra. Flames danced around him as he prepared to engage at full power.

Boom!

The ground beneath Yuma shattered as he propelled himself forward, closing the distance between himself and Scorpion in an instant. A flash of steel gleamed in his hand—a ninja sword aimed directly at Scorpion's chest.

But before the blade could strike, the ground beneath Scorpion exploded.

Bang!

A burly puppet emerged, its diamond-armored body shielding Scorpion from the deadly strike. The clash of steel against steel echoed in the courtyard.

"You're naive if you think we puppet masters don't prepare for such situations," Scorpion sneered. His fingers twitched, manipulating chakra strings.

The puppet's arm shifted, revealing hidden mechanical arms, each equipped with venomous kunai. The purple toxin emanated a foul stench, alerting Yuma to the danger.

Calmly, Yuma retreated, avoiding the trap.

"Trying to run? Naive child, I must have overestimated you," Scorpion mocked, sending the puppet after him.

The puppet launched a barrage of venomous kunai, but Yuma's Sharingan spun rapidly, analyzing every projectile. With swift precision, he retrieved several kunai infused with his chakra.

"Uchiha-Style Shurikenjutsu: Five Consecutive Strikes!"

The kunai flew from his hands, colliding mid-air with the poisoned projectiles. Sparks flew as Yuma's kunai deflected the venomous blades and continued toward Scorpion.

Scorpion's eyes widened in shock.

"What is this?! Such precise throwing technique!"

The kunai, defying conventional trajectories, curved through the air, bypassing Scorpion's defenses.

"Impressive, but throwing techniques won't kill me," Scorpion said coldly, summoning another puppet from his scroll. This round puppet sprouted dozens of mechanical arms, each poised to intercept the incoming kunai.

But Yuma anticipated this.

As the kunai clashed with the puppet's arms, their trajectories shifted once again. One kunai broke through the defenses, speeding toward Scorpion.

Tear!

The kunai struck the ground just inches from Scorpion as Yuma appeared in a burst of speed, using the Flying Thunder God Technique. His ninja sword, engulfed in flames, was leveled at Scorpion.

"Sorry, my throwing techniques are a bit special," Yuma said with a smirk, his Sharingan gleaming.

The flames on his blade intensified as he thrust it forward, aiming directly at Scorpion.

Whoosh!

The fiery edge closed in, ready to deliver a decisive blow.
