Was what you saw really real? (Bonus chapter for reader "Medicine Peddler")

Tobirama Senju hadn't completely lost his mind.

He knew he couldn't use powerful Ninjutsu, otherwise he would be giving the Hyuga Clan an opportunity to intervene.

"Use close-quarters combat to quickly kill him."

Kyosuke caught the Kunai that was thrust out. Seeing this, Tobirama pouted, as if asking for a kiss.

Water Release: Heavenly Weeping!

However, what emerged from his mouth was not a tongue, but a dense cluster of tiny Water Needles.

This technique requires no Hand Seals and can be released at any time, making it especially effective in close combat and easily catching the enemy off guard.

Unfortunately, he was facing the Uchiha, and Kyosuke, who possessed extraordinary eye power.

Even before the Chakra began to condense, Tobirama's intentions were completely exposed.

Dodging the oncoming Water Needles with a sideways movement, Kyosuke raised his right leg and delivered a powerful overhead kick, sending his opponent flying onto the roof beam.

Bang!

The sudden burst of white smoke made him narrow his eyes slightly.

Shadow Clone: Tobirama Senju ultimately created the Shadow Clone Technique.

No, to be precise, he "pirated" the Ninjutsu he created.

"So this is the Senju, the symbol of 'love and peace,' that you stole my Ninjutsu. You've learned it." Kyosuke's words were full of sarcasm.

Yes, that's reasonable, but also extremely shameless.

Compared to Madara Uchiha, he is more like a descendant of Tajima Uchiha, though Kyosuke himself would never admit it.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tobirama appeared behind him Tobirama a flash, his Samurai Sword slashing horizontally as if to cut him in half at the waist.

"Speaking of thieving Ninjutsu, even the Five Great Nations combined can't compare to your Uchiha. I'm just imitating a little bit." Tobirama was quite eloquent, at least able to retort a few times.

Wow, this kid's gotten pretty good.

Dazzling lightning surged from all parts of his body, Chidori Stream formed a blade of lightning, sending Tobirama, who was trying to Tobirama a sneak attack, flying away.

"Always thinking about sneak attacks, a leopard can't change its spots."

Bang! Under Kyosuke's disdainful gaze, Tobirama's second Shadow Clone shattered.

"Let's see how many more you can manage." He drew his Kusanagi Sword from his waist, and the surging Electric Current caused the chairs in the room to tremble slightly.

His Sharingan scanned left and right, and then his figure vanished instantly, arriving at a corner outside the courtyard at lightning speed.

Uchiha Style: Sword Leaps with Thunder!

The ferocious slashes blocked Tobirama's retreat. Faced with Kyosuke's lightning-fast attack, the only outcome was to try and tough it out.

Fortunately, now that they were outdoors, he could finally use his best Water Release Ninjutsu.

He swiftly completed two hand seals, a Water Release technique mastered only by Tobirama, omitting the Hand Seals.

Furthermore, the forms of Ninjutsu will also change drastically.

Just as the Chidori Blade was about to fall, a massive amount of Water Release quickly surrounded Tobirama and continued to spin at high speed.

Water Release · Water Formation Wall!

When the Kusanagi Sword struck it, it could only exert half of its full force, and the Electric Current could not affect Tobirama inside.

"This kid has really gotten stronger." Kyosuke was about to sheathe his sword and leave when he suddenly noticed a surge in the water flow on the ground.

The chosen Water Formation Wall resembled a tornado, creating a rapidly rotating and rising current that swept him away before he could react.

This is the second Water Release Ninjutsu improved by Tobirama Senju...

Water Release: Water Tornado!

"It's not over yet!!!" Tobirama glared angrily, clasping his hands together with a loud thud.

The still-smoldering waterspout instantly changed shape, resembling a giant dragon swallowing mountains and rivers, carrying immense force to take Kyosuke underground.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

If this combo hits, even the eldest brother would be seriously injured. He admitted that Kyosuke was very strong, but his physique could never compare to that of his eldest brother, Hashirama.

The battle is over.

"In the end, you were defeated by your arrogance." Tobirama crossed his arms, his expression full of the smugness of a victor.

He didn't kill them, firstly because the situation didn't allow it, and secondly because the Senju didn't want to restart the war.

Secondly, his elder brother was right there, and he knew perfectly well that he wouldn't allow him to kill the other party.

Tobirama...

"In the end, I'm still a little stronger."

Tobirama...

"You're the first; Madara Uchiha will soon fall to your elder brother's hand as well."

Tobirama!!!

Lost in thought, Tobirama Senju was startled awake by a roar that sounded like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

When he came to his senses, Kyosuke, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries, was nowhere to be seen.

Apart from the chaotic courtyard, only the broad and sturdy back of the Hashirama, remained.

"I just..." Tobirama shook his head vigorously, seemingly unable to distinguish Tobirama reality and illusion.

Seeing this, Hashirama gave a wry smile and said, "From the moment Kyosuke rushed out of the house, you fell into his Genjutsu."

"You lost this match."

Genjutsu? When did Kyosuke become a master of illusion Genjutsu?!

"To be able to keep me completely unaware, his Genjutsu skills are..." Tobirama clenched his fists, his expression filled with resentment.

It's incredibly frustrating to lose when you still have a trump card up your sleeve.

Upon hearing that Uchiha Kyosuke arrived, his first thought was to kill him to avenge his Uncle.

After exchanging a few blows, Tobirama gradually calmed down, realizing that it wasn't time for his opponent to die yet.

I thought I'd just teach them a lesson to vent my anger, but I never expected to get taught a lesson myself.

Tobirama felt like a constipated person about to pass stool, only to find their hemorrhoids had burst open.

Staying here is torture every moment.

"Fortunately, I still have my older brother." He fell silent.

On the other side, Kyosuke ignored Hashirama's intervention.

Given the previous incident Tobirama Senju, the Bowl Cut couldn't possibly just stand by and watch his younger brother evolve into a pig-headed man.

"Let's stop fooling around, okay?" Hashirama waved his hand with a wry smile, while constantly giving Hyuga Tennin a meaningful look.

Since both groups are on someone else's territory, a fight is unlikely to break out as long as the Hyuga Clan Leader speaks up.

"You want me to mediate?" He silently surveyed his beloved courtyard, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Especially those few flowers that I usually love, now looked like underwear that hadn't been washed for two months, filled with an indescribable mess.

He even pleaded on Tobirama's behalf, wishing he could personally teach Tobirama.

Hyuga Tennin, harboring deep malice, pretended not to see Hashirama's attempts to signal him.

Left with no other option, Hashirama could only give in with a wry smile, "Stop messing around. If we fight, this whole area will be ruined. Can I just admit defeat?"

"You admit defeat?" Kyosuke raised an eyebrow, his words becoming even sharper. "Is this all the resolve you have? You think you can end the centuries-old feud between our two families?!"

"... So what do you want?"

"It's simple. I was entrusted with this task, so I have to fulfill it. Madara asked me to bring you a gift, and I can't go back on my word."

Approaching Hashirama step by step, Kyosuke smiled and said, "Everyone knows I'm a man of my word, I can't make an exception for you, can I?"

"A gift..." Hashirama eagerly, looking like a customer who had just heard the technician's footsteps.

"Yes, it's a very special gift."

Kyosuke slowly raised his hand, and to everyone's astonishment, Hashirama hard, sending him flying.
