"You expended too much energy just now. Even an Edo Tensei body needs time to recover Mana. I won this battle."
Black Rods formed in Higashino Kanade's palm, and he nailed Hashirama Senju's limbs to the ground one by one. Just as Higashino Kanade was about to drive the last Black Rod through Hashirama Senju's head, a Kunai with a strange formula carved into its handle flew toward him.
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
The instant the Kunai passed Higashino Kanade, a figure in blue armor suddenly appeared. A blade moving at extreme speed slashed toward Higashino Kanade's waist.
Swish!
Higashino Kanade vanished instantly, leaving only a trident-shaped Kunai to fall from the air.
"What!?" Tobirama Senju's blade struck nothing, and disbelief appeared on his face.
"That Kunai's shape... Damn! It's the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!"
"By the time you noticed, it was already too late."
Tobirama Senju looked up at the sound and saw Higashino Kanade above him, somehow having appeared directly overhead with a blue Rasengan spinning in his hand.
"This is Flying Thunder God: Second Step!"
Bang!
The Big Ball Rasengan slammed viciously into Tobirama Senju. The storm unleashed by the explosion of energy easily tore apart his body, crushing half of him into pieces.
"Is ambushing people all you know how to do, Tobirama Senju?"
Watching Tobirama Senju's body regenerate, Higashino Kanade revealed a disdainful expression. He had not wanted to say that. He held great respect for the Hokage of the modern era, but Uchiha Kanade's Spirit Core was stirring, making him instinctively mock Tobirama.
Black Rods condensed in Higashino Kanade's palm as he prepared to deal with Tobirama Senju as well. However, Tobirama Senju suddenly turned around, formed hand seals, and shouted:
"Darkness Technique!"
The next second, Higashino Kanade's vision was stripped away,
