Collision Between the Strong, Part Two

The thunder roared like a dragon's cry.

The azure lightning bolts fell like a net covering the earth.

All sound vanished amidst the thunder; only the rumble of thunder reverberated across the mountaintop.

Even the Cloud Ninja were used to thunder, couldn't help but stick out their fingers to cover their ears to avoid rupturing their eardrums.

The ninjas watching were covering their ears and fleeing down the mountain, their long legs spinning as fast as cartwheels.

However, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't outrun Minato Flying Thunder God Technique truly shone at this moment. In the blink of an eye, the Genin who had fainted from the aura of the First and Second Hokage were all sent back to the Kumogakure embassy, where they were placed under Kakashi's supervision along with the losers of the first exam.

The only Konoha Genin left here were Senju Sayuri, Neji, Shuyuan, Naruto, and Sasuke. Kaguya Shuuya and Rindou, both injured, couldn't withstand the overwhelming pressure and fainted.

In short, those who remained were either incredibly strong or thick-skinned like Naruto.

Minato did not send the remaining group of kids back to Kumogakure.

It's good to witness battles between strong individuals and broaden one's horizons. These few kids are under the protection of a group of Jonin, and the risk has been reduced to an extremely low level.

Although the Sand Village, Rain Ninja, and a certain small ninja village did not have any strong individuals who had mastered space-time techniques, their numbers were already small, and they did not think that they would become targets of attack. What they feared was being caught in the crossfire of the battle.

The water waves created by the Second Hokage are still rushing down the mountain like a waterfall!

Watching a battle between masters is a rather risky task.

The lightning gradually faded, and the setting sun slowly sank behind the mountains.

The sky suddenly darkened.

"That's impressive. This is the first time my Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence has been destroyed and interrupted so quickly. Even Madara couldn't do that back then, although I only have less than half of my strength now."

Standing amidst a pile of charred charcoal, the First and Second Hokage, Impure World Reincarnation, were completely unaware of the heat.

Katsuki didn't dare to step into this high-temperature area, not because he was afraid of the heat, but because he was afraid his pants would burn off. The appearances and armor of the First and second generation were all made of dust, so they were not afraid of this level of heat.

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Katsuki rolled her eyes, unsure whether it was praise or self-praise.

"I should be saying that. My Electric Execution also failed for the first time. I should be glad that those two brats didn't dare to let you recover your full strength, otherwise I wouldn't dare to stand here alone now."

Katsuki, in turn, offered him compliments.

Although they are all people who have long since died, this world has souls. Death does not mean the end of everything, and the boundary between life and death is not absolutely insurmountable.

You never know when you'll need to deal with someone again, so it's never a bad thing to have a good relationship. The saying "a sedan chair needs people to lift it up" perfectly illustrates this point.

"Haha!" Hashirama Senju laughed heartily, his hands rapidly forming hand Hand Seals, but he said, "Kid, don't try to fool us two dead men. Even though most of our strength has been suppressed, our eyes aren't blind. You haven't used your true abilities at all!"

As the Hand Seals were completed, a fierce wind howled.

A bluish-white wind blade swept across the sky, its sharp whistling sound numbing the ears.

The First Hokage was an all-rounder. Wood Style Jutsu was just one of his more commonly used techniques. Apart from Wood Release, he was proficient in all Five Great Nature Transformations and could use them with ease. Even the C-rank Wind Cutter was like a hurricane in his hands.

"Earth Release, Earth Tremor Core."

The earth beneath Katsuki's feet rises up, the rocks soft and undulating like waves.

The Wind Cutter the rocks, but its strength waned, Katsuki easily shattered them with a flick of its finger.

Whoosh!

A Kunai flew by, but it wasn't aimed at Katsuki's head; it merely grazed his ear.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

With deep regret on his face, Tobirama Senju really didn't want to kill such an outstanding junior. However, he steadily thrust the Kunai in his hand toward the carotid artery in Katsuki's neck.

As Konoha's first research fanatic and the Hokage who had survived countless Hokage, he knew exactly where to strike for the fastest kill.

Moreover, with his speed, most people wouldn't even have time to react before they die.

In the eyes of the second generation, although Katsuki is excellent, compared to the powerful figures who fought their way out of the Warring States period, the limited competition among the Five Great Nations cannot produce truly top-tier powerhouses.

Clang!

Hearing the all-too-familiar metallic sound and feeling the recoil in his hands, Tobirama Senju was a little confused.

"You little brat"

"Bang!!"

Before the Second Hokage could finish speaking, Katsuki slammed his elbow into him, sending him flying. The force of the blow was so great that it created a large hole in the Second Hokage's chest.

"Earth Release, Earth Spear"

After knocking the Second Hokage away, Katsuki rapidly Hand Seals, and a continuous stream of thick rock spears rose from the ground, slicing the Second Hokage, who was flying in mid-air, into more than a dozen pieces.

"Ha ha!!"

Hashirama Senju laughed heartily. Seeing his brother in such a miserable state, he was not angry at all, but rather quite amused.

"Tobirama, don't underestimate this kid! I already told you he wasn't even using his full strength. His physical body is terrifyingly strong! Even the First Raikage probably didn't have bones this tough."

Tree roots, seven or eight meters thick, tore through the rocks, and the mountain peak beneath their feet trembled. The First stood on a tree root and instantly approached Katsuki. As he spoke, his fist, hardened to its limit by Earth Release, swung down toward Katsuki's face.

The instincts honed through countless bloody battles controlled the First of combat.

"Boom!!!"

The two fists collided with a sound like thunder.

Katsuki's body was sent flying like a willow catkin, tumbling in the gale. The tree roots beneath the First's feet crumbled, and he fell to the ground.

"Hey, you know that trick too!"

The First immediately saw through the mystery of Katsuki's punch—superhuman strength—because this was a technique he created himself, so he was extremely familiar with it.

"I've sparred with Nawaki many times; the more I see it, the more I've learned it."

Katsuki shattered three barriers in a row before finally standing on the golden cube barrier.

Looking at the First, who had also firmly established himself on the new tree roots, he spoke frankly. Seeing the First's confused expression, he suddenly realized and explained, "I forgot to tell you, Nawaki is your grandson. Yamashita, Lady Tsunade brother, has Chakra that is Nawaki's daughter, making her your great-granddaughter."

"Great-granddaughter!?"

The First stomped one foot, and the tree roots moved again, chasing after Katsuki like a python. A hearty smile appeared on his face. He never expected that he would have a great-granddaughter.

My mood inexplicably lifted.

"No wonder, is she Nawaki's daughter? No wonder that Chakra felt so familiar."

The shattered remains reassembled, and the resurrected second generation appeared beside the First.

He died relatively late, and thus saw Nawaki when he was still an infant. (To be continued)
