Chapter 114: No, Uchiha Madara Isn't That Short...

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique."

Just as Uzumaki Jun was happily setting fires, a voice came from behind...

Uzumaki Jun turned around and sure enough, the big-nosed Tsuchikage had arrived!!

After a white glowing jutsu was released, the flames were instantly extinguished...

Uzumaki Jun didn't attack again but instead crossed his arms...

A true expert must maintain the demeanor of an expert!!

Uzumaki... no, Uchiha Shin coldly watched the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki. At any rate, the Kamizuru Clan had already been burned to ashes. Probably...

The interrogation team wouldn't be able to extract any information from this pile of ashes, right??

After putting out the fire, Ōnoki turned around furiously to see who dared cause trouble in Iwagakure??

A mask, a black cloak with red clouds, and...

The Mangekyō Sharingan!!

Ōnoki was stunned!!

He asked gravely, "A member of the Uchiha Clan!!"

He immediately ordered the ninja behind him to hide the tailed beasts—the collector of "treasures" had arrived!

But...

Uzumaki Jun still ignored him, his gaze icy as he formed hand seals and coldly declared, "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

He directly spewed flames at Ōnoki...

Though the size of the fire dragon was terrifying, Ōnoki wasn't one to back down. After all, he was a Kage!!

He absolutely couldn't retreat!

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique." He instantly created a transparent cube in front of him to block the fire dragon!

And then...

"Earth Release: Rock Golem."

Summoning a giant stone monster, he sent it charging at the Uchiha member!!

"Uchiha, are you trying to start a war between the villages?" Ōnoki shouted, frowning. Since the Uchiha were Konoha shinobi, why would one appear in Iwagakure now...

Did Konoha want to go to war with Iwagakure??

Looking down at the ruins of the Kamizuru Clan, now reduced to ashes, only a few elders remained, kneeling on the ground in despair!

Was this person not hired by the Kamizuru Clan?

Then...

Was this truly just an invasion?

"Heh!" Uchiha Shin sneered but didn't respond. Instead, he formed another hand seal. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."

Instantly obliterating the stone giant!!

At that moment...

"You monster!!" The Kamizuru Clan's elder, tears in his eyes, roared at Uchiha Shin, "The Kamizuru... are finished!!"

Then, he rushed forward, seemingly intent on fighting Uchiha Shin to the death!!

But...

Uchiha Shin simply unleashed another fire jutsu, reducing him to ashes!!

At this point, no corpses could be left behind. Otherwise, the interrogation team might extract something from them...

Seeing the elder turned to ashes, the remaining elders, tears in their eyes, launched suicidal charges!!

Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly. Truly, decades-old veterans knew how to put on a convincing act!!

Seeing this...

Ōnoki's eyelids twitched. Why did it seem like these Kamizuru elders were all committing suicide??

Had they lost the will to live after seeing their clan destroyed?

But...

As the village leader, he couldn't allow this to happen before his eyes. As a Kage, he had the power and responsibility to protect every villager!!

"Stop!!" Ōnoki shouted, preparing to use a jutsu when...

"Fire Release..."

In an instant...

All of them were burned to ashes by Uzumaki Jun!!

Ōnoki's fury erupted. He roared, "Damn Uchiha!!"

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique."

But...

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique." Uzumaki Jun unleashed a B-rank wall of flames!!

After all, this was Dust Release!

He was still young—better to be cautious...

"Damn it!!" Seeing his jutsu blocked, Ōnoki glared angrily and bellowed, "With such power, you can't be some nobody!!"

"Who are you?!"

With such chakra, such jutsu, such taijutsu, and those eyes that made the entire shinobi world tremble—could it be...

"Heh." Uzumaki Jun sneered. "Ants."

"Are unworthy of knowing my name!"

"So it's true!!" Hearing that icy voice, Ōnoki's expression turned horrified. His eyes widened as he said, "You are..."

"Uchiha Madara!!"

"..."

Hearing Ōnoki's guess, Uzumaki Jun wasn't sure whether to nod or shake his head. But considering the Uchiha's usual aloof demeanor, he paused briefly before...

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"

And in an instant, he appeared behind Ōnoki...

"Would you like... to dance??"

...

All the Zetsu watching this scene were speechless. This kid...

Was truly despicable!!

Hadn't he said he was Uchiha Shin?

Why was he impersonating Madara now??

And...

The mission was already over. Why set more fires??

Just leave already!!

"What do we do now?" The White Zetsu looked at each other before all turning to Black Zetsu, waiting for his decision...

However...

Black Zetsu had something he wanted to say but couldn't. How was he supposed to know what to do now?

He was just as desperate. He couldn't fight, couldn't intimidate...

If only Madara were still in his prime!!

He could easily teach this brat a lesson with the Rinnegan. But now...

Survival was key!!

Survival was everything!!

After all, he had a great mission to fulfill!!

But...

He absolutely couldn't let these people know Madara was still alive!!

"Let's retreat!" Black Zetsu said helplessly. "We should leave now."

And then...

He merged back into Black and White Zetsu.

...

Ōnoki, hearing the voice behind him, immediately leaped back to create distance. If this was Uchiha Madara...

He definitely couldn't match him in taijutsu!!

And...

Uchiha Madara should have been old by now. Why did this person seem so young??

Unless...

He had achieved immortality!!

A terrifying thought flashed through Ōnoki's mind...

And that icy voice—"Would you like to dance?"—instantly reignited his deepest fears!!

"Uchiha Madara!!" Ōnoki growled, glaring at the Uchiha before him.

"..."

Yet Uzumaki Jun still didn't respond, unleashing another fire jutsu...

After all, he hadn't said it—this big-nosed guy had guessed it himself!!

He knew nothing!!

But...

Another figure in a black cloak with red clouds appeared beside Uzumaki Jun.

Ōnoki, thinking another powerful foe had arrived, immediately went on guard, watching as the figure materialized...

"Lord Shin, the mission is complete. We should retreat now," Zetsu said flatly. He had to step in and clarify, or who knew how long this kid would keep acting!!

Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly. It seemed his Uchiha Madara act was over, thanks to this damn Zetsu!!

But...

Whatever. The mission was done.

"We got what we came for," Uzumaki Jun said coldly. "In that case, use your space-time jutsu to take us away."

"??"

Zetsu stared blankly at Uzumaki Jun. What "thing"? What space-time jutsu??

What was this??

This wasn't in the script!!

Wasn't he just supposed to leave??

Director, someone's going off-script!!

As for Ōnoki...

"You're not Madara!!" Hearing the strange figure's words, Ōnoki suppressed his fear and declared firmly, "Uchiha Madara wasn't that short!!"

"..."

Silence fell over the scene...

Uzumaki Jun suddenly felt the urge to kill this big-nosed bastard!!
