[At this moment, Konoha's Anbu, unable to enter the barrier, could only cheer for Hiruzen Sarutobi from the sidelines.]

Tobirama Senju closed in from the side, but the elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi managed to hold his own in terms of Taijutsu.

Amidst his relentless attacks, Tobirama Senju spotted an opening and delivered a side kick to Hiruzen Sarutobi hastily raised his arms to block.

Even after deflecting a large portion of the attacks, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still forced back several steps.

Despite the immense pain, Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed Tobirama Senju's leg, spun him around a few times, and threw him away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi formed several hand seals in quick succession. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Then its chest swelled up, and it spewed out a blazing fire dragon that lunged forward.

The Second Mizukage is least afraid of Fire Style; after all, I am the Second Mizukage and a master of forbidden techniques.

"Water Release, Water Formation Wall!"

A large amount of water surrounded the area where the group was located, and then collided with the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, instantly spewing out a large amount of water vapor.

[Yugito Nii: I don't understand, so I'm asking. Is that the Second Mizukage in the picture? That Sea Release is amazing!]

[Zabuza: Is this Water Release? Why did he only use a few hand seals? Isn't that cheating?]

[Mei Terumi: To be able to unleash such Water Release on a dry rooftop, and on a scale comparable to the Mizukage of past generations.]

[Karatachi Yagura: I remember that among all the Mizukage, very few could match the Second Hokage's Water Release techniques.]

[Mei Terumi: No way! I'm going to be the Mizukage's woman! And you're telling me the strongest Water Release isn't the Mizukage?]

[Hozuki Mangetsu: I remember the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, was most skilled in Hydrification Technique and Genjutsu.]

[Karatachi Yagura: My Water Release isn't that strong either.]

Upon hearing this devastating news, Mei Terumi had to admit that Water Release Konoha techniques. "Then why are you called Hokage? You might as well be called Mizukage!"

It seems I'm the only one in the entire Kirigakure who enjoys playing in the Mizukage.

At this moment, the people of Konoha didn't have time to discuss who had the strongest Water Release between Konoha and Kirigakure; the contest between the three Hokage on the screen was something they rarely saw under normal circumstances.

In particular, the Third Hokage, who is known as the strongest in Konoha, now seems to live up to his reputation, as he was able to suppress the attacks of the two Hokage.

As the steam dissipated, Tobirama Senju formed hand seals once more.

"Water Release: Water Shockwave!" In an instant, it surged forth like a colossal wave. Hiruzen Sarutobi watched in terror at the sheer scale of this Water Release; he absolutely could not allow this attack to hit him.

"Earth Release, Earth Style Wall!"

Just as it was about to hit, a solid stone wall beneath him blocked the Water Release, and the massive flow of water split in two from both sides of the stone wall.

Originally, it was thought that this would be over soon, but who would have thought that the seawater seemed to be endless, with no intention of stopping. Tobirama Senju kept releasing more and more seawater, trying to break through Hiruzen's defenses in one go.

In no time, the entire rooftop had changed, transforming into a vast ocean. Even Hiruzen had to wrap Chakra feet in chakra to stand on the sea.

On the other side, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, began to charge forward. Hiruzen could only continuously unleash Fire Style to stop Hashirama Senju's advance.

But it was useless. Hashirama Senju quickly found an opportunity to get close, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the face, and kicked the Third Hokage away. In that instant, the Third Hokage's head was completely dazed.

The First Hokage attacked with deadly force, Hiruzen Sarutobi to defend relentlessly. What! You're asking why the Third Hokage didn't retaliate?

I'm an old man nearing seventy, and you want me to fight the Impure World Reincarnation of the First Hokage? Why don't you just send me straight to heaven?

Look at Ōnoki now, would he dare to go up and fight Madara Uchiha? At over seventy years old, many Shinobi's abilities have already declined significantly.

This explains why I was easily defeated by the First Hokage and Second Hokage.

[Hanzo of the Salamander: Although I've heard you guys rave about the First Hokage, I don't really see how powerful he was!]

At this moment, Hanzō said with absolute certainty, "I had some reservations before, but now that I've seen this episode's review, Hanzō I can say is..."

"The God of the Shinobi World, that's it!"

Fighting an elderly Third Hokage is a nightmare. I've never fought Hiruzen Sarutobi, and I've never fought Hashirama Senju. It would take two people to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi to a standstill. If it were me, I'd just slap Hiruzen Sarutobi across the face.

[Ōnoki: The First Hokage's strength in the scene does seem a bit questionable!]

[Orochimaru: If I'm not mistaken, it's because the Impure World Reincarnation can't unleash the full power of the deceased in life.]

[Hanzō: Enough! Stop trying to glorify Konoha. I've had enough of your arrogance.]

[Hanzō: You say Hashirama Senju strong? Let him come and fight me.]

No one paid any attention to Hanzō's reckless behavior. After all, Hashirama Senju couldn't be reborn, so arguing here was pointless.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was struggling to deal with the two Hokage when he was kicked into the water. Just as he was trying to struggle...

Hashirama Senju suddenly appeared in the water, locking his arms around Hiruzen Sarutobi's neck. At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to find help.

He broke free from the Hiruzen Sarutobi and swiftly climbed the stone wall he had summoned earlier, Hiruzen Sarutobi like Monkey, just as his nickname suggests!

Tobirama Senju the water, jets of water gushing from the sea, his target being Hiruzen Sarutobi atop the stone wall.

A massive torrent swept through the wall, causing the stone wall beneath Sarutobi's feet to collapse instantly. With no other option, he had to find a safe area.

But the water column seemed to be watching Hiruzen Sarutobi closely; wherever Hiruzen Sarutobi ran, the water column followed.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju up, his hands clasped together.

"Wood Release Secret Technique: Tree Sea Descent!"

Immediately, countless towering trees sprang up from the ground, making it seem as if they had instantly entered a forest, even though they were on the rooftop. The trees Hiruzen Sarutobi Chakra like tentacles, and their trunks were constantly absorbing the Hiruzen Sarutobi from his body.

[Ōnoki: This is the Wood Release Ninjutsu, paralysis. Seeing is believing.]

[Mei Terumi: It is said that Wood Release Ninjutsu can absorb the Chakra of the person it comes into contact with.]

[Obito: Didn't you guys notice that the First Hokage didn't use hand seals when releasing Ninjutsu?]

[Kakuzu: Just as I remembered, it's Wood Release secret technique without hand Ninjutsu. Although its power is a bit weaker, it's still as terrifying as ever.]

[Kakuzu: Hanzō, you've been bragging for so long, I wonder if you can actually unleash Ninjutsu without hand seals?]

Kakuzu seemed to know what Hanzō was thinking, but Hanzō never fought a losing battle, and seeing that he couldn't win the argument Kakuzu pretended not to hear.
