Naruto: Did i Just Get Reincarnated as Gojo?

At 10 a.m. that day, Fugaku Uchiha sent a final message back to Konoha Village just before attacking Kusagakure: The Konoha Blitz unit was ready to assault Kusagakure, and Konoha Village would officially enter a state of special military action.

Fugaku Uchiha declared, "From this moment on, I am just a ninja under the illumination of the Will of Fire. I once again wear this epaulet, the most sacred and precious to me as the commander-in-chief. Before final victory arrives, I will never take off this epaulet; otherwise, I will sacrifice myself for the village."

As soon as Fugaku's message returned, it stirred up waves of fervent cheers among the villagers.

Even before the results of the special military action had emerged, people spontaneously took to the streets, shouting, "Glory to the Uchiha! Glory to Advisor Gojo! Glory to Konoha!"

Many thoughtful small merchants voluntarily offered free water, food, and basic ninja tools to these village-loving youths.

Large merchants formed groups and went to the entrance of the Uchiha clan's residence, pulling cart after cart of supplies, striving to be merchants who love the village and enhancing their favorability in Konoha Village.

Konoha Village fell into an unprecedented frenzy.

There was no sign of the usual downturn brought by the outbreak of war; instead, due to the special military action, the village's economy was greatly stimulated, igniting the Will of Fire in the villagers' hearts.

Merchants found markets for their goods; ordinary villagers had topics to discuss during meals; the ninja academy had goals to strive for; and the village leadership gained data templates from the war.

A Konoha Village where no one was injured—mission accomplished.

At this moment, Konoha's teahouses, ninja tool shops, cafes—all were packed with people gathering in front of televisions and loudspeakers recently installed by the Konoha News Agency, watching and listening for updates that might come from the front lines at any time.

Some enthusiastic individuals even set up betting pools, wagering on when the Konoha Blitz unit would bring back good news.

Perhaps, in the next second, news of Konoha's great victory would arrive.

So, what was the current situation of the Konoha Blitz unit?

"What's the situation with Kusagakure now?" The still robust Ōnoki stood at the forefront, eyes closed, speaking calmly.

Behind him were hundreds of strong, eager Iwagakure ninjas.

Even though they were supposed to be the assisting side, the number of elite ninjas they brought exceeded that of Konoha Village.

"Feed the ninjas for days, use them when needed." Having been dormant for a long time, Iwagakure was eager to bare its fangs in the ninja world and fiercely tear off a big piece of meat.

Originally, they had no interest in Kusagakure, but according to feedback from the intelligence department, Kumogakure had stationed troops there, and now they couldn't help but get excited.

Not only were there regular Kumogakure ninja troops...

It's said that Kumogakure's Two-Tails Jinchūriki was also sent to Kusagakure as a supervising officer.

What does this mean?

It means they could replicate the battles from the Third Ninja War, using overwhelming numbers to exhaust the Two-Tails Jinchūriki to death.

"Or perhaps... seal her."

Ōnoki's eyes flickered; perhaps the term "ambitious individual" in Konoha's statement suited him best at this stage.

Traumatized by Madara Uchiha in the past, Ōnoki was obsessed with the pursuit of power.

Among the Iwagakure ninja troops behind him, there were many experts skilled in sealing techniques. In this joint operation against Kusagakure, as long as they could seal and bring back the Two-Tails Jinchūriki to Iwagakure... it would be a massive gain!

No village or Kage would ever think they had too many tactical weapons, unless they possessed power surpassing the ninja world's "nuclear bombs," like the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Only then would they not care about the number of tactical weapons their village had.

Despite the many benefits of attacking Kusagakure, Ōnoki still didn't want to fire the first shot.

The significance of the first shot is vastly different from the second.

As everyone knows, people always remember the first place!

Ōnoki wanted Iwagakure to be second, letting Konoha bear all the pressure from the ninja world at the forefront, while he led Iwagakure's elite to plunder resources beneficial to Iwagakure, making it easier to explain to the Daimyō afterward.

Kitsuchi reported solemnly, "Father, the Konoha ninjas have already mobilized; Kusagakure's eastern side is under heavy attack from Konoha's forces!"

"Hmph, I told you to address me by my title during work." Ōnoki admonished, "Since Konoha's ninja troops have already moved and fired the first shot, we have nothing to hesitate about!"

"Transmit my order: Full-scale attack!"

"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama!"

Eastern front of Kusagakure.

"Damn it! Konoha ninjas... Have you forgotten the alliance treaty between our Daimyōs?!" A minor Kusagakure leader gripped his kunai tightly, shouting with a guilty conscience, "This is betrayal! You'll be condemned by the entire ninja world!"

"Allies? First of all, that's an agreement between Daimyōs and has nothing to do with the decisions of Konoha Village." Fugaku waved his kunai, flicking off the bloodstains, and said loudly, "Kusagakure plotted and executed an assassination attempt on our Konoha elder..."

"An unforgivable sin that deserves... divine punishment!"

"All units, attack! Crush them!"

Fugaku Uchiha led the charge, and almost the moment he gave the order, he activated the Body Flicker Technique. Before the Kusagakure minions could react, he had already killed them.

The killing machines known as ninjas began to operate frantically.

The hundred elite Konoha ninjas, who were amiable with their own people, perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be the strongest killing machines in the ninja world when it came to external combat.

They showed no mercy; blades rose and fell, swiftly and cleanly eliminating one Kusagakure outer defense force after another.

Each carried out their duties, steadily advancing toward the interior of Kusagakure.

Kusagakure had a total of three defensive lines.

The frontmost was the Maria Line, the middle was the Rosé Line, and the final one guarding the village itself was the Hina Line.

On the flat eastern terrain of Kusagakure, the Blitz unit broke through six Kusagakure ninja alert units of the Maria Line, each consisting of twenty people, like a hot knife through butter.

The rapid deep-strike force composed of ninjutsu and genjutsu ninjas quickly tore through and encircled the large but poorly equipped and unskilled Kusagakure alert units within the Maria Line.

Maria Line—broken!

The Konoha ninjas adopted the ninja running posture, swiftly attacking the interior of Kusagakure. Their objectives were clear: eliminate the Kusagakure elders wearing animal masks who were close to Kumogakure and opposed Konoha, and rescue the surviving members of the Uzumaki clan.

Outposts, ninja tool warehouses, roads, and bridges... Kusagakure's strongholds were being breached by Konoha at an astonishing speed.

A few minutes later, Kusagakure experienced the largest-scale death and destruction from Fire Release ninjutsu since its founding.

Hundreds of powerful Fire Release jutsu roared, and sharp shuriken washed seven times rained down on Kusagakure's positions.

Kusagakure's alert forces were caught off guard; hundreds of front-line ninjas were killed in their strongholds before they could react.

Countless shuriken, kunai, and a small number of explosive tags supplied by Kumogakure were destroyed by Konoha's ninjas using Fire Release before they could be used. Transportation hubs and front-line command posts leading to the outside world suffered devastating blows from Fire Release jutsu.

Kusagakure's front-line command leaders were controlled by Konoha's genjutsu ninjas, causing many front-line Kusagakure ninjas to follow erroneous commands and fall into chaos.

Along the way, they scarcely encountered any worthy opponents.

Kusagakure, which enjoyed playing political alliances and neglected its own ninja training, finally faced the ninja world's punishment today.

Rosé Line—broken!

At this point, Kusagakure's eastern defensive forces completely collapsed.

Seizing the momentum, the Konoha Blitz unit, led by Fugaku Uchiha's elite jōnin squad as the vanguard, quickly broke through Kusagakure's final defensive line from several key points, successfully infiltrating Kusagakure!

"Who are you?!"

"Konoha ninjas... How could you..."

Not until the enemy was at their doorstep did the leader of Kusagakure's Hina Line, accustomed to peace, realize in shock that Konoha ninjas had invaded.

But before he could finish speaking, Fugaku Uchiha slashed his throat.

His eyes were filled with unwillingness. As he fell, he desperately looked toward the location of the "Kusagakure human medicine." Perhaps even in his dying moments, he thought that if he could take a bite of the human medicine, his injuries might recover.

Only five people, including Fugaku Uchiha, had penetrated the interior of Kusagakure at top speed. Facing a large number of Kusagakure ninjas—the last elites and trump cards of Kusagakure—they couldn't break through without causing a commotion.

The alarm was sounded.

Shrill alarms blared, and upper-level Kusagakure ninjas finally began to appear in front of Fugaku Uchiha.

One, three, five...

And...

Fugaku's gaze shifted into the distance, seeing ninjas wearing Kumogakure forehead protectors approaching in ninja running posture.

Kusagakure's ninjas formed an encirclement, surrounding Fugaku Uchiha and his five-man squad in the center.

The Kusagakure elder wearing a teacher mask protected the jōnin behind him, angrily questioning, "Konoha ninja! Why are you invading our Kusagakure territory?! How dare you?! How could you?!"

"Don't you know that Kusagakure and Konoha are allies?!"

The rat-faced elder seemed to notice the tomoe in Fugaku's eyes and instinctively pushed the Kusagakure jōnin further ahead.

"Hmph, a Uchiha ninja... As expected, the inherently evil Uchiha. I will definitely report this to your Konoha Elder Danzo!"

"But since you've intruded this far... you shall die! Leave your Sharingan as part of Konoha's compensation to us!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha sneered disdainfully. He put his kunai back into his ninja tool pouch.

"So you want my eyes? Then... come and try." Fugaku Uchiha swiftly formed hand seals, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Fugaku gathered chakra in his throat and spewed forth a massive sea of flames resembling a small sun. The range and intensity far surpassed the B-level jutsu used by ordinary ninjas.

The terrifying high-temperature sea of flames rapidly approached the Kusagakure jōnin's position ahead.

"Dammit, don't underestimate us Kusagakure ninjas! You Uchiha bastard!"

Such a terrifying sea of flames was impossible for a single Kusagakure jōnin to withstand, given their village's weakness.

But this was their base camp.

All of Kusagakure's elites were gathered here. If one wasn't enough, then two; if two weren't enough, then three!

The Kusagakure jōnin collectively formed seals, "Fire Release: Flame Meteors!"

Several small fireballs merged into one, engaging in an intense confrontation with Fugaku's Great Fire Annihilation.

Meanwhile, other Kusagakure ninjas became entangled in chaotic battles with Fugaku's elite four-man squad.

Due to their numerical advantage, even though their individual strength was far inferior to Fugaku's squad, they fought to a stalemate for a while, unable to quickly conclude the fierce battle.

If the situation continued like this... the Blitz action might end in failure.

But among those present, there were more than just these two forces!

Kumogakure's supervising officer—the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii—also led dozens of Kumogakure ninjas into the battlefield.

"Hmph... Konoha ninjas!"

Yugito Nii keenly sensed that this might be an assassination attempt against the Kumogakure garrison. Indeed, Konoha, the strongest in the ninja world, was not only culturally advanced but also had sharp military instincts.

If Kumogakure truly took root in Kusagakure, it would be difficult for Konoha to act against them in the future...

"Even as enemies, you're quite impressive, Uchiha ninja."

"However, you're too careless and arrogant. To dare intrude here with only four ninjas—even if you're an Uchiha, it's unacceptable... Prepare to die!"

Though Yugito Nii had no fondness for Kusagakure, as a Kumogakure ninja, she knew where her loyalties lay.

Without any unnecessary words, she swiftly formed hand seals, and a dark blue fireball spewed from her throat, "Fire Release: Fire Rat Bullet!"

With Yugito Nii joining the battle, the scales of victory seemed to tilt toward Kusagakure.

Fugaku Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique to narrowly evade the powerful Fire Rat Bullet, turning to stare at Yugito Nii, "Heh... I didn't expect Kumogakure to be so generous."

"Sending even your village's Jinchūriki to station in Kusagakure. Since you wish to dance... then be prepared!"

Fugaku was secretly shocked, greatly admiring Gojo Kaigetsu's decision.

Even sending their Jinchūriki showed how much Kumogakure valued Kusagakure. If they didn't uproot them before they grew formidable, Kusagakure would become a thorn in Konoha's western side.

While dodging, Fugaku activated the chakra within him, and the single tomoe in his eyes rapidly spun, transforming into three tomoe.

At the same time, Konoha's Blitz unit began to pour into Kusagakure from the outskirts.

They had finished the troublesome task of mowing down the enemy; now the real battle began. The Blitz unit's ninjas shouted loudly, unleashing their signature jutsu and joining the battle within Kusagakure.

Yugito Nii noticed this and grew anxious, her expression turning increasingly grim.

"Useless Kusagakure trash... What were the alert units doing, letting Konoha break through so quickly without even raising the alarm."

Their individual quality was already inferior to Konoha's ninjas, and their numerical advantage was being eroded.

At this rate, not to mention whether the Kumogakure garrison could retreat, Kusagakure would surely be mostly destroyed, rendering the village's plans bankrupt.

Although both she and ordinary Kumogakure villagers hoped such oppressive policies would end soon... in her position, enjoying the village's generous treatment and privileges, she had to bear the corresponding responsibilities!

Loyal to Kumogakure, she had to obey the orders from the Raikage's office!

'We can't delay any longer!'

Having made up her mind, Yugito Nii no longer hesitated... As a Jinchūriki, she would make her career debut!

"Arrogant Konoha ninjas... Today, I'll show you the gap between ordinary ninjas and a Jinchūriki!"

Yugito Nii shouted fiercely, and with a roar, a massive dark blue Tailed Beast cloak surged from her body.

Dark blue cat-like chakra patterns appeared on her skin, her hair stood up, and her eyes gradually turned white.

An endless surge of power emanated from within her—this was the Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!

Under Partial Transformation, a Jinchūriki's abilities would leap dramatically. Additionally, the Tailed Beast chakra would heal the Jinchūriki's wounds, leaving almost no scars.

This was a combat method almost exclusive to perfect Jinchūriki.

But that wasn't all!

Yugito Nii was extremely cautious of the Konoha ninjas, knowing that even this might not end the battle quickly.

So from the start, she gave it her all!

Yugito Nii's aura continued to climb, and in the blink of an eye, the dark blue cat-like Tailed Beast cloak enveloped her entirely, manifesting the true form of the Two-Tails, Matatabi.

Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!

The immense chakra and terrifying power of the Tailed Beast were perfectly displayed, and the violent aura spread out. Except for Fugaku Uchiha, almost all the ninjas present were affected, instinctively halting their actions and staring blankly at the monster before them.

Tailed Beasts had always been nightmares haunting ordinary ninjas.

Even though Matatabi was only the Two-Tails, with just two tails, it was far beyond what ordinary ninjas could contend with.

Fully transformed, Yugito Nii growled deeply at Fugaku Uchiha, as if saying, "Uchiha, you're a worthy opponent, living up to Konoha's reputation, but it's over now!"

"Facing my fully transformed state, you have no chance of victory."

Fugaku remained silent, quietly observing the Two-Tails before him.

Only now did he understand the meaning behind Gojo Kaigetsu's words—"Bring shock to the ninja world."

He had thought it was mere encouragement, that such a shock was exaggerated. Destroying Kusagakure was just that; what was so shocking about it?

Using conventional ninjutsu could obliterate Kusagakure; there was no need to expose Konoha's trump card, Susanoo, just to show off!

Fugaku's mindset had shifted from "Uchiha's trump card" to "Konoha's trump card."

But now it seemed that eliminating Kusagakure's resistance was indeed challenging. Without using the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Blitz unit might return in failure.

With this in mind, Fugaku Uchiha began to maneuver against Yugito Nii.

He moved swiftly, using shuriken throwing techniques, Great Fireball, Great Fire Annihilation—attacking relentlessly. But his assaults were either dodged by Yugito Nii's agile movements or deflected by the tough and durable Tailed Beast body.

'So this is a Tailed Beast... And this is only the Two-Tails, achieving such feats... If it were the Fourth Hokage's wife...'

'Kumogakure is indeed a worthy opponent. They are far ahead of other villages in developing Tailed Beasts.'

At least, to Fugaku's knowledge, no other village in the ninja world could stably produce perfect Jinchūriki.

Compared to the Third Raikage's "Hell Stab" secret technique, the cultivation methods for perfect Jinchūriki were the true unshared secrets. Even if Kumogakure's ninjas declined one day, as long as this secret existed, Kumogakure would always remain among the great villages.

Yugito Nii swung her Tailed Beast claws, swatting away Fugaku's shuriken.

She roared, "Stop wasting your efforts! Your attacks have no effect on me. Embrace your fate of defeat and death!"

After several attempts, Fugaku confirmed that under the protection of the fully transformed Tailed Beast chakra, his conventional methods were ineffective against Yugito Nii.

He could hesitate no longer!

Fugaku sighed lightly, discarded all his ninja tools, and raised his hands before Yugito Nii, slowly forming seals.

'What's he planning?!'

Seeing this, Yugito Nii's heart tightened.

An intense unease enveloped her, as if some terrifying ninjutsu was about to be unleashed with Fugaku's hand seals.

As Fugaku completed the seals, the tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly, forming the Mangekyō Sharingan.

A cold and intense Mangekyō chakra burst forth, centered on Fugaku.

Fugaku Uchiha's voice was deep, "Do you think... we Konoha ninjas have stood atop the world for nothing?"

"Susanoo!"

Fugaku raised his hand, grasping at the void. Two lines of blood tears flowed from his eyes, completing his incantation.

In the next moment—

As if a golden lightning bolt struck the ground, accompanied by a massive shockwave and swirling dust, the silver-white Susanoo, larger than even the Two-Tails, materialized from Fugaku's body into the world!

First bones, then armor; the tendons and flesh of Susanoo gradually appeared... Until the tengu armor was donned, Susanoo's terrifying aura ceased to climb.

Fugaku had no intention of holding back. From the outset, he unleashed Susanoo's third form, aiming to eliminate the enemy before him on behalf of Konoha as swiftly as possible.

The cold chakra spread out, and the once bright sky seemed to dim due to Susanoo's presence.

A terrifying, invisible shockwave erupted, centered on Fugaku, toppling many unsteady Kusagakure ninjas.

Fully transformed, Yugito Nii struggled against the shockwave, the dark blue Tailed Beast chakra on her body seeming to be blown backward by Susanoo's chakra.

Squinting, Yugito Nii stared in horror at the scene before her.

In the instant she failed to react.

Susanoo's massive fist, exuding a murderous aura, smashed toward her.

To the ordinary ninjas watching, they saw—

The silver Susanoo, with wings on its back, descended like a God.

With a single punch, it smashed the dark blue Two-Tails into the ground.

Fugaku Uchiha stood tall, arms crossed, gazing mercilessly at the Two-Tails struggling beneath Susanoo's fist.

Under his control, Susanoo calmly retracted its fist, grabbed the Two-Tails, lifted it into the air, and slammed it heavily onto the ground again.

Boom—

The ruined village, burning flames, trembling earth—in an instant, the world seemed to fall silent.

Only Fugaku's mocking words and the Two-Tails' enraged roars could be heard.

"What a Weak Tailed Beast."

"You... I... This...?!"

Yugito Nii was both shocked and furious. Since becoming a Jinchūriki, she had never suffered such humiliation.

What was this chakra giant before her?!

Quickly searching her memory, Yugito Nii recalled related information. It was said that within Konoha's Uchiha clan, those who developed the Sharingan to its extreme could use ocular powers to manifest a chakra giant known as Susanoo.

Since the era of ninja villages began, the only recorded individual to use such an ultimate ocular jutsu was Madara Uchiha, the lifelong rival of the God of Shinobi.

'Damn it! Has Konoha produced a second Madara Uchiha?!'

'For the sake of Kumogakure, I must...'

In her shock and anger, Yugito Nii resolved to eliminate this Susanoo giant, which posed a significant threat to Kumogakure.

Regaining her mobility, the Two-Tails executed several flips, putting distance between herself and Susanoo.

Then, without holding back, she unleashed her strongest attack.

The Two-Tails raised her proud head.

Blue chakra representing yang and purple-black chakra representing yin slowly condensed in front of her mouth. She transformed her chakra nature to the extreme, mixing and compressing it into a super-dense chakra sphere.

The destructive aura emanating from it terrified all the ninjas present.

Tailed Beast Bomb—activate!

Facing such a lethal attack, Fugaku Uchiha summoned his own divine weapons. Instead of retreating, he advanced toward the Two-Tails—

"Yata Mirror, Totsuka Blade!"

Boom—!!!

In the next instant, the powers of the Tailed Beast and Susanoo collided fiercely, unleashing a terrifying shockwave. Kusagakure ninjas who were close by were merely brushed by the shockwave, and their flesh seemed to be blown away by an invisible force, leaving only skeletons standing.

Flesh disintegrated, buildings flew apart, and dust filled the sky.

Will he win?!

The same question arose in the minds of ninjas from different factions.

Countless eyes fixed on the center of the dust, eagerly awaiting the outcome of this battle beyond ordinary ninjas' reach.

One second passed, ten seconds passed...

A sudden gust blew away the dust, revealing the figures within.

Both appeared worse for wear, but the victor was clear.

Yugito Nii had exited her Tailed Beast transformation, lying amidst rubble, her chest rising and falling weakly.

That once proud face now bore only unwilling humiliation.

Fugaku Uchiha stood tall, the armor on Susanoo had vanished, and its size and aura were significantly diminished.

The seemingly fragile chakra skeleton was exposed to the air.

But no one dared underestimate Fugaku in this state. This was the monster who had just taken down the Two-Tails... Even with only two tails, it was still a Tailed Beast!

Fugaku slowly turned his head, the blood tears at the corners of his eyes adding a fierce edge.

He raised his hand slowly, aiming at the distant Kusagakure elder wearing an animal mask:

"Yasaka Magatama!"
