Naruto: I, Uchiha, Just Want to Die

Chapter 138: Break the Formation! Sword Technique: Hurricane Whirlpool and Flaming Wind Dragon Dance!

The Wind Release: Rasengan and Water Release: Raging Torrent share a critical trait: their violent intensity and mastery over nature transformation.

When these two techniques combine, they form a fiercely rotating water tornado, capable of resisting Kakuzu's Strange Mask Explosive Flames.

Similarly, Uchiha Ci's mastery over Water Release: Water Fang Blade and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade showcases their intensity in form.

The Water Fang Blade manifests as a spiraling water blade, while the Vacuum Blade is infused with razor-sharp wind.

Uchiha Ci had already mastered the water nature transformation during his time in the Land of Hot Water.

What he now lacked was mastery over wind nature transformation.

Uchiha Ci gazed intently at the night sky, where twelve swirling wind orbs streaked toward him.

The howling wind stirred up rolling sand and dust, and the compressed wind blades gleamed with a chilling brilliance under the moonlight.

If he couldn't neutralize this, the relentless barrage would leave him futilely running from the attacks, ending in his inevitable death.

Faced with this grim choice—die advancing or die retreating—there was only one option: gamble everything!

Uchiha Ci stood firm, took a deep breath, and fixed his Sharingan on the descending wind orbs.

He dismissed the Flowing Flame chakra on his Kusanagi Sword and formed hand seals with both hands.

As the final seal completed, he lifted the Kusanagi Sword and channeled his chakra into this divine weapon, known for its perfect chakra conduction.

In an instant, a brilliant blue Water Fang Blade spiraled around the sword.

The high-speed rotation produced a nerve-wracking screech.

Then, sharp wind chakra rose from his left hand, gradually integrating into the sword.

Visibly, the Water Fang Blade swelled, seemingly on the brink of bursting apart.

The fusion of the two techniques was exceptionally delicate.

Without the precision of his Sharingan to track the volatile chakra flow and without his mastery of both techniques at an advanced level, an explosion at the spot would have been inevitable!

"Just a little more…" Uchiha Ci stared intensely at the Kusanagi Sword, his veins bulging and arms trembling as he struggled to control the conflicting chakras within the blade.

The usually weightless Kusanagi Sword now felt as heavy as a mountain.

"What's wrong? Why won't they fuse?!"

As the Wind Release: Great Sphere screamed through the air, Uchiha Ci gritted his teeth, glaring at the incoming attack, his eyes widening in frustration.

He roared, "Forget it! Spin! Spin!"

"Come out!"

With a furious yell, Uchiha Ci raised the blade, which was on the verge of exploding, and aimed it skyward.

He stomped the ground, twisted the hilt, and poured his chakra into the blade with reckless abandon, forcing it to spin, spin, and spin faster!

The water and wind intertwined in the rotation, merging to a singular, transcendent point of power.

Finally—

"Ninja Art: Hurricane Whirlpool Sword!"

A streak of blue light shot from the blade's tip, piercing the heavens.

Moments later, a massive blue water tornado erupted around the line of light!

The tornado resembled a blooming mandala flower, its white wind blades and blue water blades spiraling furiously around the central column.

Its brilliant blue-and-white glow illuminated the land, transforming the barren wasteland into a dazzling disco-like scene.

Then, the tornado collided head-on with the incoming wind orbs!

Uchiha Ci's eyes widened as he gripped the sword's hilt with both hands, twisting his waist to steer the gigantic vortex.

With each move, this fusion technique—far beyond the power of ordinary ninjutsu—unleashed a force of unparalleled devastation!

The water tornado danced wildly in the wind, spinning with ferocious momentum.

It swallowed and shredded all twelve wind orbs, converting their power to fuel its own frenzy.

Uchiha Ci's face contorted with effort as his body strained to its limits.

With an earth-shaking motion, he yanked the Kusanagi Sword backward, dragging the water tornado down to the ground!

Boom!

The tornado smashed into the ground, pulverizing it into dust and sending sand flying into the air.

At that moment, Uchiha Ci seemed like the mythical god of storms.

Seizing the momentum of the impact, he launched himself skyward with the blade's immense propulsion.

The Kusanagi Sword acted like a rocket thruster, propelling him 100 meters into the air—a meteor defying gravity.

In an instant, he had catapulted himself over 50 meters, landing above the Sand Village's core defenses.

Below, the Sand shinobi stared up in utter disbelief at the boy descending upon them.

"What the hell is that?!"

"So fast!"

"Damn it! How is he flying?!"

"Lord, we can't aim at that speed!"

"What is he planning?!"

While the Sand shinobi gawked, Uchiha Ci deactivated the Hurricane Whirlpool midair.

His face twisted into a ferocious grin as he laughed:

"Weren't you enjoying shooting at me earlier?!"

"Well now—"

With a deadly glare, he raised the Kusanagi Sword high.

One arm ignited in brilliant flames, radiating like a miniature sun.

"It's my turn!"

In an instant, Uchiha Ci activated:

Fire Release: Chakra Mode,

Zero-Tails: Dark Chakra Mode,

Forbidden Technique: Body Revival,

and Immortality Technique!

With all his strength, he slashed downward, aiming at the Sand Village defenses.

As he swung, he exhaled and infused the flaming blade with Wind Release: Super Vacuum Blade, amplifying the fire's ferocity.

The Kusanagi Sword roared, unleashing a blazing dragon of fire!

Below, the Sand commander's eyes widened as he shouted urgently:

"Not good! He's using that move again!"

"Hurry!"

"Everyone, use Wind Release: Ultra Sickle Weasel Technique to blow him away!"

The Sand shinobi frantically began forming seals, terror plastered across their faces as they stared at the enormous blazing sun descending upon them.

But Uchiha Ci sneered from above, laughing wildly:

"Too late!"

"And besides, I'm no longer the same as I was before!"

With a grim determination, he aimed the flaming Kusanagi Sword at the Sand shinobi below.

Channeling all his chakra into the sword, he roared:

"Take this!"

"Shooting Star Great Sword: Flaming Wind Dragon Dance!"

In the next moment, the violent flames, fueled by the wind, perfectly replicated the technique Kakuzu had once used before him: Strange Mask Explosive Flames – Raging Wind Waves!

But unlike the slower buildup of the earlier giant flaming sword, this time, a lifelike fire dragon erupted instantaneously from the Kusanagi Sword!

The dragon, its scales formed by wind, its muscles by Earth Grudge Fear threads, and its bones by Fire Release Chakra Mode, grew to an enormous 50-meter body within moments.

Its eyes burned like twin suns as it gazed coldly at the masses below.

The dragon roared and dived toward the Sand defenses!

Below, the Sand shinobi gaped in stunned silence, their hands slowing mid-seal.

It was as if they saw the Sage of Six Paths beckoning them into the afterlife.
