Flying Raijin Killing Intent

"Your reactions are truly fast!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Ye couldn't help but exclaim.

The gash on his neck healed at a rapid pace.

"It seems your strength is far greater than that of a standard Edo Tensei vessel!"

Watching Tobirama Senju land and prepare to launch another assault, Uchiha Ye stomped the ground to initiate his own attack: "Lava Scorch Shot!"

The sudden attack caught Tobirama Senju off guard, forcing him to use a Water Clone to evade the strike.

"Still, has that guy Orochimaru already managed to create an enhanced individual Edo Tensei vessel?"

Uchiha Ye was certain!

The strength of the Tobirama Senju before him was definitely much higher than it had been during the Konoha Crush Plan in the original story.

This Kage-level aura was something that had absolutely not been reached in the original work.

"And the Flying Thunder God Technique is also a nuisance!"

In truth, even if he were countered by the Second Hokage's Water Release, he felt it would be manageable.

His days of training underwater had long since granted him a certain degree of water resistance.

But if the Flying Thunder God Technique were added to the mix, combined with the suppression of Water Release, he wasn't entirely sure.

He wasn't certain if his current physical durability could keep up with his reaction speed.

If he couldn't keep up, the Flying Thunder God could kill him instantly several times over.

"But that's fine, it makes it more challenging!"

His Observation Haki immediately locked onto the reappearing Second Hokage, and Uchiha Ye's body transformed into molten lava as he lunged forward: "Dog-Biting Crimson Lotus!"

Roar!

The moment Tobirama Senju reappeared, he sensed a terrifying crisis.

Facing the flaming hound that lunged at him with its scorching jaws wide open, he immediately flung a sheet of explosive tags and rapidly formed hand seals: "Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"

This was a strike where, once a single explosive tag was attached to an enemy's vital point, it could summon an infinite number of explosive tags to destroy the target.

As long as the target was not destroyed, the explosions would continue indefinitely.

Boom, boom, boom!

The flaming hound was instantly blown to pieces, the terrifying commotion echoing in all directions, and the ground was left jagged with scattered rocks.

From the rising smoke and dust, a massive barrage of sharp shuriken and kunai suddenly shot out: "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

One became two, two became four!

In an instant, the air was thick with ninja tools.

If one looked closely, they would notice that a few of the kunai were unusual!

Those were Flying Thunder God Formula Kunai!

"As expected of someone who grew up through war, your combat experience is extraordinary!"

Before the old move had even faded, a new one was already underway.

Using the advantage of the old move to create an opening for the new one, while layering an even deeper, secondary threat within it—how could anyone have time to react?

"Under normal circumstances, dodging this dense barrage of shuriken and kunai would require one's full concentration..."

Uchiha Ye elementalized his body to help evade the fierce onslaught: "But if there are Flying Thunder God kunai mixed in among them..."

He raised his eyes, and Tobirama Senju, who had been far away just a moment ago, used a Flying Thunder God kunai that had just grazed Uchiha Ye's cheek as a coordinate to teleport directly in front of him: "Then it is truly completely unsolvable!"

Tobirama Senju gripped the kunai and slashed toward Uchiha Ye's neck.

Puchi!

Magma splattered.

In less than half a minute of fighting, Uchiha Ye had already sustained two 'fatal wounds'!

But!

Uchiha Ye turned his head with a smirk, looking at the stunned Tobirama Senju, and thrust a scorching fist toward his heart: "Hellhound!"

Hiss!

This kind of reversal was something Tobirama Senju had never anticipated.

Therefore!

Even though he had dodged with great haste, the debris drifting in the air indicated that this strike had inflicted significant damage upon him.

Indeed!

When Tobirama Senju reappeared, there was a shocking, crater-like fist mark on his chest.

It had nearly punched clean through his torso.

Although the properties of the Edo Tensei body allowed Tobirama Senju's wounds to begin regenerating immediately.

But!

This also gave Tobirama Senju a very clear understanding of the danger Uchiha Ye posed.

"Evil Uchiha..."

Tobirama Senju's expression was grim. As the dignified Second Hokage, he had actually been reduced to such a sorry state by a mere junior.

And it was an Uchiha, the clan he detested most!

Unforgivable!

"Next time, I will not be so careless!"

Facing such words from Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Ye couldn't help but say excitedly, "That is exactly what I was hoping for!"

Meanwhile, not far away!

"The battle between us should begin as well!"

Orochimaru bit his finger again, performed a series of hand seals, and slammed his palm onto the ground: "Summoning Jutsu!"

Poof!

Following a massive cloud of smoke, a thick, long, purple-horned giant snake appeared before Sasori of the Red Sand.

It was none other than Orochimaru's summoning beast—Manda!

"Orochimaru, you dare summon me so casually? Have you prepared the sacrifices I require?"

Unlike the friendly nature of other summoning beasts, Orochimaru's Manda was more like a demanding ancestor, showing not a shred of respect for its summoner.

"Rest assured, I understand!"

Orochimaru, appearing accustomed to this, looked at Sasori of the Red Sand and said, "Then, come, Sasori! Let's see if you can finish me off today!"

Seeing this, Sasori of the Red Sand couldn't help but snort, "Do you think adding one giant snake gives you a chance of winning?"

He let out a cold laugh as the back of Hiruko suddenly opened. Sasori's true form stepped out and pulled the Third Kazekage human puppet scroll from his back.

"Perfect. I shall use you to test the strength of my improved human puppet!"

A cold smile flashed across Sasori's handsome face.

"Iron Sand... Shower!"

More condensed and massive than when he fought Uchiha Ye, the iron sand projectiles flew out violently. The giant Manda had no time to react before crimson blood mist exploded across its body.

"ROAR!!!"

Manda bellowed in pain, its terrifying tail whipping through the air with such pressure that it caused sonic booms.

"Iron Sand Needle!"

Facing the incoming Manda, Sasori of the Red Sand snorted coldly.

Dealing with creatures of this size was extremely simple for him.

Squelch!

The iron sand that had just penetrated Manda's body instantly spread to its nerve endings, blocking the transmission of signals and causing Manda's movements to grind to a halt.

"Iron Sand Great Burial!"

The Third Kazekage exerted its power again, and iron sand surged from the ground beneath Manda, swallowing it like a quagmire.

No matter how hard Manda struggled to break free, utilizing the high-speed movement of a serpent, it was useless. It was buried step by step, on the verge of being crushed into oblivion.

"Orochimaru, you bastard, hurry up and save me!"

Manda roared for help, feeling deeply humiliated.

"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"

Orochimaru appeared near Manda and spat out a massive torrent of water. The iron sand instantly congealed, making it several times harder to manipulate and disrupting its structural integrity, allowing Manda to break free with a burst of immense strength.

"You bastard!!!"

The first thing Manda did after escaping was to lunge directly at Sasori of the Red Sand: "Go to hell!"

To this, Sasori of the Red Sand indifferently raised his hand: "Iron Sand... Pierce!"
