Suddenly, Tobirama Senju's vision blurred. He saw that amidst the shuriken and scrap iron, which should have turned to dust along with his Water Release, new shuriken had somehow emerged.

The circular hole in the center was wrapped in threads, spinning in a large circle and flying towards his side.

There were shuriken hidden within shuriken!

This was the Uchiha's Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!

Tobirama Senju refused to believe it and vanished into thin air.

It wasn't the Body Flicker Technique, it was the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The battlefield was now covered in his Flying Thunder God Special Kunai. Even with his Sharingan's prediction ability, it was impossible to anticipate which kunai Tobirama Senju would appear next to.

Perhaps the Flying Thunder God was developed by Tobirama Senju specifically to counter the Sharingan's prediction.

However, within Izuna's rotating left Mangekyo, that movie-like scene played out once more—

Tobirama Senju appeared at the nine o'clock direction, attached to a Flying Thunder God Kunai on a broken tree, and was launching a high-speed attack with his advanced Water Release: Water Severing Wave.

The scene retracted. Izuna looked towards the nine o'clock direction. About two hundred meters away, on a broken tree, a Flying Thunder God Kunai was indeed stuck.

Before Tobirama Senju could even appear, Izuna acted first.

He quickly charged towards the broken tree, condensing airflow in his right hand into two fist-sized, azure spheres, which also had four blades and a "sizzling" sound of cutting wind.

Wind Release: Rasengan!

He couldn't throw it yet without awakening Sage Chakra, but it was still a High-Grade A-Rank Wind Release!

As Izuna charged forward, Tobirama Senju also flashed to the broken tree. Just as he was about to form a hand seal to activate "Water Release: Water Severing Wave," Izuna's Wind Release: Rasengan was already hurtling towards his face!

"What?!"

Amidst his surprise, relying on years of combat experience, Tobirama Senju managed to twist his head to dodge, but the side of his face and his shoulder were grazed by the Wind Release: Rasengan.

Splash!

Blood spurted from his cheek and shoulder. Most of Izuna's Rasengan's power had not hit Tobirama Senju.

After being injured, Tobirama Senju immediately used Flying Thunder God again, vanishing from his spot and reappearing five hundred meters behind Izuna to his right.

There, another Flying Thunder God Kunai had been dropped.

Boom!!

Izuna's Rasengan pulverized the spot. A few seconds later, he walked out from the swirling smoke, frowning, "Flying Thunder God... what a troublesome Ninjutsu."

Tobirama Senju's mood was even more complex. Why?

The Sharingan's prediction ability shouldn't be able to predict the Flying Thunder God!

Was it the ability of that new Sharingan?

Feeling a sharp pain from his left eye, Izuna instinctively covered it.

Damn it!

It's only been a short while, and my eye is already protesting?

Useless!

Izuna's left eye ability was Future Prediction!

It was very similar to Katakuri's Advanced Observation Haki in One Piece, allowing him to briefly see the future.

It could be considered a counter to instantaneous attack Ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God.

But Izuna had absolutely not expected his eye to start hurting after using it for such a short time.

"I don't want to fight a prolonged battle with you feeling like this."

Izuna clapped his hands together, then clasped them tightly, facing Tobirama Senju ahead. "Let's finish this quickly."

Lightning Release: Earth Running!

Electricity surged from Izuna's fists and the next second, accompanied by crackling thunder, it shot across the ground at high speed.

Tobirama Senju was stunned again.

The Uchiha Clan excelled at Fire Release, but Izuna should be better at Wind Release than Lightning Release. Wasn't it Madara Uchiha who was skilled in Lightning Release?

"But this level of Lightning Release is hardly worth mentioning."

Tobirama Senju coldly uttered, his hands glowing with six Flying Thunder God Kunai, which he instantly threw into the air at various angles in a 360-degree spread.

Vanishing from his spot, Tobirama Senju easily dodged Izuna's Lightning Release.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

He reappeared in mid-air, and there were now six Tobirama Senjus, each holding a Flying Thunder God Kunai in the air.

Did he use the Shadow Clone Technique the moment he disappeared?

"Water Release: Water Severing Blade!"

A sharp, blade-like Water Release coiled around the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand. The six Tobirama Senjus transformed into "blue flashes" at this moment, charging forward with godlike speed that even the Mangekyo couldn't keep up with, let alone the body.

In the blink of an eye, six Tobirama Senjus appeared around Izuna's body.

The kunai, covered in water blades, also stabbed towards Izuna's throat, heart, waist, calves, and other areas.

BANG!!

A metallic symphony sounded, causing the six Tobirama Senjus' expressions to freeze.

Looking closely, the tips of the specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai had broken off!

"Completely different from the weaklings Sasuke Uchiha fought, forcing me to use this."

Izuna's displeased voice rang out. Tobirama Senju frowned and saw that Izuna's body was encased within a white Rib Cage Skeleton.

The next moment, a giant Skeleton Arm extended from beside the rib cage, its palm burning with fierce black flames.

"Susanoo - Amaterasu!"

The Skeleton Arm swung, attacking Tobirama Senju all at once.

The left eye predicts the future, the right eye wields Amaterasu. When both eyes are opened simultaneously, the Mangekyo Sharingan's Ultimate Technique, Susanoo, can be used.

This was Izuna's Mangekyo Sharingan!
