"The Uchiha's reinforcements?!" Shikadai's expression changed drastically. He understood the situation at once.
He had already suspected this might be some point in the Warring States Period. Now he finally had confirmation.
"This is bad!" Shikadai rapidly assessed the situation, his voice unusually urgent. "Ninja from the Warring States Period grew up in brutal wars. Their combat experience and survival skills are generally a level above ours!"
"And they outnumber us. With the Sharingan on their side, we don't stand a chance in a straight fight!"
As if to prove him right, several ninja in the Uchiha unit formed Hand Seals at once. Their movements were perfectly synchronized and so fast they left only afterimages!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several blazing fireballs more than three meters across roared toward Boruto and the others at the center of the encirclement, carrying waves of searing heat and the acrid smell of sulfur. Like miniature suns, they cut off most avenues of escape!
"Iron Sand Wall!" Shinki channeled his Chakra. Iron Sand surged from the ground and formed a thick, curved wall in front of the group.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The fireballs slammed into the Iron Sand Wall and exploded, scattering flames everywhere! The wall shook violently. Its surface glowed red from the heat, and some of the Iron Sand even began to melt and drip.
Shinki grunted, his face pale. Maintaining the defense was clearly taking a heavy toll.
Yeto poured all her strength into maintaining the Psychic Barrier, deflecting the flames and flying rubble that swept in from the sides.
"Damn it! Shadow Clone Technique!" Boruto knew they couldn't just wait to be overwhelmed. He quickly formed Hand Seals and created four Shadow Clones.
The clones each formed a bright blue Rasengan and charged the Uchiha unit's flank,
