Chapter 139: Instant, Slash
Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation.
This technique grants lifeless matter a form of life and control, far beyond simple chakra manipulation.
Water, after all, is inorganic.
A massive tidal wave rose from the lake, morphing into a colossal water serpent under Orochimaru's control, clashing head-on with the fiery oil tsunami!
BOOM!!!
Explosions erupted as superheated liquid scattered in all directions. Some droplets collided with the Four Red Yang Formation, instantly evaporating into mist!
---
Sage Art: White Shock Technique.
Treading across the water, Orochimaru opened his mouth, releasing a crimson, radiant dragon.
The red dragon held a black orb in its claws.
Spinning at high speed, the red light pierced into the black sphere.
BOOM!!!
The black orb detonated, releasing a blinding flash and a piercing screech!
Even Nagato's Rinnegan struggled under the intensity of the light, while the shockwave made everyone's bones vibrate, their movements slowing.
Orochimaru's serpentine pupils filtered the light, while Tobirama, always prepared for such encounters, relied purely on sensory perception.
(If I couldn't counter something like this, how could I ever fight an Uchiha?)
---
Water Release: Water Severing Wave!
Whoosh!
Tobirama fired a high-pressure water jet from his mouth—
Slicing the summoned bird in half mid-air!
---
"Sarutobi!"
"Understood!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed his hands down, raising a massive Earth-Style Wall.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
With four puffs of smoke, five Sarutobis stood atop the wall.
Wind.
Fire.
Lightning.
Earth.
Water.
Five-Style Great Combination Attack!
"Brace yourselves, kids!"
---
BOOOOOM!!!!
The five-nature fusion blast created a cataclysmic explosion, illuminating the sky like a miniature sun—
Even ninja miles away could see the towering flames!
---
Thunder-Earth Alliance - Nearby.
Onoki frowned, watching the distant pillar of smoke and fire.
"...Five-Nature Fusion? That's Sarutobi Hiruzen's signature move."
"At this level, he's practically back to his prime. Edo Tensei… what a cheat."
A, the Fourth Raikage, swatted away falling debris, turning to Onoki.
"...That must be Akatsuki vs. Fire Team. Any intel on them?"
---
Onoki stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Rinnegan's abilities remain unclear. Legends claim it holds the power to reverse life and death.
"Treat Nagato as an early-stage Mangekyō Sharingan user—like Kagami when he first awakened it."
A's fist clenched at the mention of that name.
(It always comes back to him… the man who killed my father…)
Onoki sighed.
"That blue-haired woman? No idea. But Jiraiya, you know well—he led the Kumo battlefront during the last war."
"As for Tobirama…"
---
The Second Hokage.
Onoki's expression hardened.
"In his prime, Tobirama was the most perfect shinobi.
"Even Mu, my teacher, admitted Tobirama was the strongest of the Second Generation Kages.
"Yes, he died to Kinkaku and Ginkaku, but never mistake that for weakness.
"Tobirama didn't lose to them. He lost to the Six Paths' tools."
---
A nodded grimly.
"...Agreed. My own Second Raikage fell to them too."
"They didn't defeat us. We fell to the Amber Purifying Pot and Banana Fan.
"This time, I brought the Kohaku no Jōhei (Amber Purifying Pot)—
"If we encounter them, I'll seal them instantly."
---
Onoki nodded.
"Tobirama's Flying Thunder God and Water Release are his trademarks.
"As an Edo Tensei, he has infinite chakra and no fatigue.
"My master warned me: Never let Tobirama's summons get close.
"If he tags you with a Paper Bomb Clone, it's over."
A frowned.
"Why? Can't we just escape?"
Onoki shook his head.
"Mu-sama never explained. Just said: If Tobirama gets close, you're already dead.
"That man's ingenuity and speed are terrifying."
---
"And Sarutobi?"
"The Professor. Master of the Five Basic Releases. That blast we just saw?
"It's practically a Tailed Beast Bomb in strength."
"Even in his prime, Sarutobi only ever fought me to a draw.
"If we fight, I can hold him off.
"As for Orochimaru…"
---
Onoki scowled.
"I thought he was overrated, but surviving Kagami's purge?
"And gathering an army of Edo Hokages?
"He's more dangerous than we assumed."
---
While they discussed, a shadow flickered before them.
"Yo, yo! Don't panic, bros!"
"A-B Combo! Onoki-san! We're unbeatable!"
Killer Bee rapped, flashing a thumbs up—
But suddenly, he froze.
---
On the tree branch ahead, a young man appeared.
Black hair.
Red Sharingan.
Uchiha attire.
Short sword at his waist.
Onoki stiffened.
For a moment, he flashed back to Kagami.
---
"...Uchiha Shisui?"
---
Even though it was one person, they didn't attack.
A sneered, stepping forward.
"...Kagami's brother."
"Born with everything, yet you still enter the Death Forest?"
Shisui smiled gently, radiating warmth—
Watergate's trademark smile.
---
"Do you feel bitter, Fourth Raikage?"
CRACK!
A's fist clenched, veins bulging.
"Are you mocking me?!"
---
"Not at all. It's just… respect."
A's rage boiled.
(How dare he speak so casually—
—When we can't even call ourselves Kage anymore?!)
"Born with a silver spoon, you'll never understand pain…"
"You're just a spoiled brat, hiding under Kagami's shadow—
"What right do you have to stand before us?"
---
Shisui's smile faded.
He drew his short sword, eyes cold.
---
"You're right.
"I've always lived under my brother's protection.
"But coming from Kumo?
"That's rich."
---
Shisui's eyes glowed crimson, Sharingan spinning.
"Your village tried to steal Kushina, my teacher's wife.
"You've raided clans, plundered Kekkei Genkai, and oppressed the weak.
"Power was your creed.
"But now that my brother holds power—
"You cry foul?"
---
He raised his sword, black and crimson flames flickering along the blade.
"…The world is unfair.
"I was born privileged.
"Even without asking, the finest treasures fall into my hands.
"I won't pretend to hate it.
"My brother earned it for us—
"So you'd better get used to it."
---
Swoosh!
---
In an instant, Shisui vanished—
—reappearing directly in front of A.
Like a black flash, his sword sliced down—
Black-crimson flames trailing behind, the embryonic form of Scorch Style.
---
(This is my trial…)
(I will prove myself worthy—)
(—of my brother's expectations!)
