Naruto: Uchiha Survivor Forced to Save the Shinobi World

Uchiha Shinji ran while carrying the unconscious Naruto, carefully calculating the distance as he went. Given his current level of ocular power, the coverage range of "Jikibi" was only one hundred kilometers.

Under normal circumstances, that would have been enough.

But now, the five anchor points were scattered across various locations in the shinobi world, with some of them separated by multiple countries, and the straight-line distance between them could reach tens of thousands of kilometers.

Faced with such a vast distance, the one-hundred-kilometer coverage of "Jikibi" was somewhat insufficient.

Once the distance exceeded one hundred kilometers, Shinji would no longer be able to control Yugito, who had been put under his genjutsu, remotely through "Jikibi."

On the brink of the shinobi world's impending destruction, Yugito, as the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, was no longer of critical importance. Whether she was captured by the Akatsuki or rescued by the Cloud Village didn't matter to Shinji.

But before that, he had to ensure that the anchor point located in the original forest of the Land of Fire was destroyed. Now that the Allied Forces were tied down by Kokushibo and Nakime, Yugito was the only one left capable of destroying the anchor point.

So, he had to make sure Yugito completed the destruction of that anchor point before she moved out of Jikibi's range.

"If she gets close to that cave, I wonder if she'll get trapped in Nakime's Infinite Castle..."

Since he didn't know enough about the Infinite Castle and Yugito was his last resort at that anchor point, after weighing his options, Shinji decided to take the risk and have Yugito transform into her tailed beast form.

Then, with a "Tailed Beast Ball," she could destroy the anchor point from a distance.

Having made up his mind, he immediately activated Jikibi and issued the command to transform into the tailed beast form.

In the Original Forest.

Yugito, crouching on the branch of a tall tree, suddenly had her Sharingan spin rapidly. The three tomoe merged, transforming into the pattern of Shinji's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Without a doubt, in order for the fully transformed Yugito to release her most powerful attack, Shinji used Jikibi to enhance her ocular power.

After a while, Yugito instinctively adjusted her crouching posture, leaping lightly to the ground like a cat. Then, Two-Tails' tailed beast chakra started to leak from her body, enveloping her entirely.

Her body began to expand as the chakra spilling from her body grew more concentrated. Her skin could not withstand the corrosive chakra, and large sections began to ulcerate.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, her human form was completely lost, and she transformed into the shape of the tailed beast. Unlike Killer Bee's fully transformed state, her transformation was far more violent.

On Shinji's Side.

As he ran, Shinji suddenly covered his eye, his expression darkening.

Without a doubt, even as a perfect Jinchūriki, Yugito was still different from Killer Bee.

In her conscious state, a full tailed beast transformation was already a significant challenge for Yugito, let alone now, with both her and the Two-Tails' subconscious trapped within Shinji's illusion. She was on the verge of losing control throughout the transformation.

Shinji knew there could be no hesitation, so he continued to supply ocular power through Jikibi to strengthen his control over Yugito, while also commanding her to attack the cave with full force.

Time was everything now. Once Yugito lost control, she would descend into an unconscious rampage. If that happened, even Shinji would lose his ability to control her remotely.

Fortunately, the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, even when used through Jikibi, exerted strong suppression over the tailed beast. When Shinji further enhanced his ocular power, Yugito, on the brink of rampage, followed his instructions and began concentrating a Tailed Beast Ball.

Hiss...

In her fully transformed tailed beast form, Yugito let out a low growl. Near her mouth, visible chakra gathered rapidly, compressed bit by bit into a spherical mass.

The size and power of the Tailed Beast Ball could be controlled by the tailed beast. However, to condense an extremely powerful Tailed Beast Ball, sufficient preparation time was essential.

Therefore—

Although the Tailed Beast Ball had already formed, under Shinji's remote control, it continued to gather more chakra.

As the Tailed Beast Ball grew larger, the chakra around Yugito became increasingly violent. Up close, one could see her chakra roiling around her body, as if it were trying to break free.

Previously, such actions from Yugito would have long attracted interference from Kokushibo and Nakime, who were guarding the anchor point.

But now Kokushibo and Nakime were tied up with the Allied Forces, deliberately led to them by Shinji, making it impossible for them to free themselves. Thus, even if they noticed the anomaly, they couldn't quickly exit the Infinite Castle to stop her.

However, as Tsunade and the others were closing in on Shinji at an alarming speed, the distance between Shinji and Yugito approached Jikibi's limit. Moreover, Yugito looked like she would lose control at any moment, and Shinji dared not delay any longer. He gave her the command to attack.

Whoosh!

With a piercing screech, the long-prepared Tailed Beast Ball shot out in a blinding flash.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, everything in the path of the Tailed Beast Ball's trajectory was ruthlessly crushed. Amid deafening explosions, entire sections of the forest were uprooted, and the dust from the shockwave resembled a sandstorm. The ground showed a trench more than ten meters deep.

Moments later, the dust began to settle.

Shinji seized the last bit of time, controlling Yugito to rush to the cave.

The cave where Kokushibo was hiding, located in the center of the Tailed Beast Ball's trajectory, had vanished without a trace, like a pencil sketch erased by a rubber, leaving no residue.

[Anchor Point Successfully Severed...]

[Warning: Reevaluating Plane Destruction Countdown...]

[Countdown: 5]

At that moment, a notification sounded in Shinji's ear.

"Success!"

Shinji was overjoyed, his tense nerves slightly relaxing.

The successful severing of this anchor point meant that his strategy and his approach to cutting the anchor points were correct.

As long as he physically destroyed the area where the anchor point was located, the anchor point could be successfully severed.

Moreover, judging from the notification, every time an anchor point was severed, it effectively extended the time before the destruction of the shinobi world. Previously, the countdown had shown four days. After severing this anchor point, it now showed five days.

With this information, Shinji's spirit lifted.

This meant that as long as he ensured every anchor point could be successfully severed, he could buy himself more time.

And now—time was everything!
