Clash Between the Strong, Part Three

The mountains shook and the earth trembled.

This is not an exaggeration or embellishment.

The towering, majestic mountain peaks swayed left and right like a drunkard, with massive boulders weighing thousands of pounds crashing down like raindrops, their crashes echoing through the valley.

Half of the mountain collapsed.

Braving the dangers of life and death to witness the battle between the strong, the onlookers retreated again and again, first from the mountaintop to the mountainside, then to the foot of the mountain, and then to another mountaintop.

"Back up!"

Baki's face was tense. Upon hearing this, Gaara decisively waved his hand, and the rolling sand carried the Sand Ninja away from the approaching storm.

Everyone was running—the Sand Ninja were running, the Cloud Ninja were running, and the Konoha ninja were running too.

Half of the mountain collapsed, and three tiny figures darted and chased each other in the field of vision. Every move they made seemed to attract the power of a landslide, giving the Genin a real eye-opener.

The stone tower did not collapse; the aftershocks of the battle destroyed half of the mountain peak, but just happened to miss the foundation of the stone tower.

To be precise, it wasn't a coincidence, but rather that all three deliberately avoided the stone tower during their battles. The First and second generation were caught off guard, while Katsuki had no intention of interfering in the fighting inside the stone tower at the moment.

Uchiha Genso stood at the main entrance of the stone tower, looking down at the precipice and deep ravine below, with black dust billowing up from the darkness.

It got dark.

The last rays of the setting sun were completely exhausted, disappearing behind the mountains.

A full moon is slowly rising in the sky, and the sparse starlight brings a little brightness to this land.

By the dim moonlight, one could barely make out the trees and earth dancing like demons in the darkness. Occasionally, a flash of azure lightning would illuminate the figures of powerful warriors in battle.

Of course, darkness cannot stop those with Dōjutsu from observing the world.

Shuyuan stood on tiptoe, Rinnegan, watching the figure dancing in the moonlight. Envy and longing filled every space in his heart.

"Brother Zen, you'd better hurry, the situation isn't looking good!"

Uchiha Genso, his face grim, stood guard at the door and roared.

A tremendous rumble and tremor emanated from inside the stone tower, indicating that the battle had clearly entered its most intense phase. Similarly, the battle outside had also reached its climax.

"Wood Release: Wood Release - Wood Human Technique"

A giant wooden figure, hundreds of meters tall, stood atop the mountain peak. Looking at the rough-faced wooden figure, Hashirama Senju scratched his head helplessly. His strength had been suppressed by most of his power, and even the wooden figure he summoned was so crude.

"Kid, it's getting dark. Hurry up and show us your true skills, and quickly send us dead back to where we belong."

While leaping and dodging the Second Generation's omnipresent attacks from box-shaped barriers in mid-air, Katsuki heard the First's shout and laughed silently in the darkness.

"First Hokage, please don't joke around. Fighting the two of you has almost killed me. Besides, how do we undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the mountain-sized fist descended from mid-air, whipping up a fierce, howling wind that easily crushed one barrier after another. The crisp sound of the barriers shattering was so clear that even the howling wind could not completely suppress it.

"Mud Golem, stand up!"

Stepping on lightning, they landed on the ground at an even faster speed.

Using Lightning Flash Turn to run at full speed, the shoes on his feet were naturally lost, and he stood barefoot on the ground, the soles of his feet pressed tightly against the cold, rough, uneven rocks, and Chakra instantly poured into the earth.

A colossal hand, reaching for the sky, tore through the earth, and the massive hand, composed of mud and rocks, caught the wooden figure's fist head-on.

"Boom!!!"

The mountains and rivers shook violently once again. The impact of the fists and palms colliding shattered rocks weighing thousands of pounds, and uprooted trees that would take five or six people to encircle, which then spun in mid-air and fell into the distance.

This mountain range has truly suffered terribly. Countless birds took flight in the night, fleeing from this mountain range as if in exile. Countless beasts also ran around frantically. Tigers, leopards, cattle, and sheep crowded together in the forest, walking side by side. Snakes and rats mingled together unharmed.

Animals are probably the most unfortunate of all in the mess that humans have made.

The Mud Golem, as massive as a hundred-meter-tall giant, stood up and stood on two opposite mountain peaks with the wooden figure. Their enormous bodies were almost the same size, and with every move they made, they stirred up a mighty wind.

The next moment.

The wooden figure and the Mud Golem collided, their fists and palms clashing, the resounding impact so loud it shattered the birds in the sky into a mass of mangled flesh.

The battle between two colossal creatures, relying solely on their massive size and heavy bodies, could cause unparalleled destruction.

"Kid, there are two ways to undo the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. The first is simple: kill the caster. Your physical body is really tough."

Tobirama Senju appeared above the Mud Golem's head, a layer of blue wind swirling around the Kunai in his hand. This sharp weapon left a white line on Katsuki's neck, leaving even the Second Hokage speechless.

Such a tough body has already surpassed the limits of humanity.

"Second, please continue. Are there any other methods?"

Katsuki knows how to undo the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. Whether it's from his past life's memories or what Orochimaru told him after reading the sealing scroll, he remembers it all!

He was simply curious to know if the original owner of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu had any hidden secrets.

"The second one is the Fuinjutsu. It seals our souls, so we naturally lose our ability to move. And as long as the Fuinjutsu is not broken, no one can summon us battle boys again. Since you are a member of the Uzumaki Clan, and you use Barrier Ninjutsu so well, the Fuinjutsu must not be difficult for you, right?"

As Tobirama Senju spoke, he continued to press forward relentlessly. Under the pale moonlight, he moved with ease, flitting silently around Katsuki's sides, his sharp, yet incredibly keen, attacks never leaving Katsuki's neck.

The clanging sounded like blacksmithing.

Katsuki's neck hurt a little. His body wasn't truly invulnerable; ordinary methods were simply insufficient to break through his hardened and sturdy physique.

The Second Wind Release Technique was highly skilled in Wind Release techniques. He had previously left a coordinate mark on Katsuki's neck, and now he was targeting the same spot repeatedly. One or two times was insignificant, but after seventeen or eighteen times, it was starting to hurt.

"I know a little about Fuinjutsu, but your speed is just too fast!"

Katsuki complained, saying that the Flying Thunder God Technique was incredibly fast, even more slippery and difficult to catch than an oiled eel, and that he wanted to catch the Second Hokage.

That's a bit difficult!

Not to mention, the First was currently manipulating the wooden doll and launching a fierce attack!

Half of the Mud Golem's face was smashed away, and its body was covered in cracks. Although it was healing itself at an alarming rate, it couldn't keep up with the rate of destruction caused by the wooden figure.

Defeating the First without using their full strength isn't difficult, but sealing them increases the difficulty tenfold. (To be continued)
