Few Shinobi Bother Training Their Butts

This kid was definitely feigning weakness; otherwise, given the way he fell into the water, it would have been impossible for him to use Susanoo to perform "silent killing."

On one side, Uchiha Madara was praising someone, while on the other side, Uchiha Shingen finished using the Hiding in Mist Technique and began the next step.

But it wasn't some kind of "Silent Killing Technique" as Uchiha Madara had imagined.

Silence my foot!

Asking him to use Susanoo to do this is truly impossible.

It can only be said that Uchiha Madara had a few decades more in between, which definitely gave him a huge advantage. His control over Chakra was indeed inferior. Although this comparison sounds a bit like nitpicking, Madara's Susanoo was not as light and airy as he could be; it was still quite a big commotion.

Unless you're diving.

Susanoo Hand Seals again.

Wind Release: Wind Dance.

This level of Wind Release won't dispel the Hiding in Mist Technique.

The mist that had enveloped the lake, while diligently guarding its post, also revealed a wilder side as the air moved.

Wind swirls and mist surges, changing with the seasons.

When the wind rises, the lake surface begins to churn, and the surging waves cannot bear the silence.

Susanoo the commotion, Uchiha Shingen submerged Susanoo in the water.

This doesn't mean the commotion is too great. As long as you're careful, Susanoo's movements are practically negligible.

As a precaution, Uchiha Shingen first let Susanoo sink to the bottom before casting his third technique.

Water Release: Wave-Riding Strike.

Although Uchiha Madara was a master of Chakra nature, to be fair, he didn't really use Water Release techniques much.

Uchiha Shingen was different; he had lived two lives and was extremely experienced.

Although Uchiha Madara was very familiar with Senju Tobirama's Ninjutsu, his focus was different. He was more concerned with Senju Tobirama's "Godspeed" and did not pay much attention to Senju Tobirama's Water Release.

Uchiha Madara was only truly familiar with the Senju Clan of the Senju school, and only with the leader.

He really wanted to kill the second brother, but the eldest brother always beat him to it first.

Modern ninjas consider Water Release: Wave-Riding Strike to be a skill for surfing on water, but in fact, this skill is even more effective underwater.

But...

[The humanoid form isn't very useful...]

After moving around a bit, Uchiha Shingen frowned.

After all, humans are terrestrial creatures, not even amphibious.

Uchiha Shingen never had any concern for his image in either of his lives; rather, he loved the transformation of Chakra forms, finding it incredibly convenient.

Who says Susanoo be in human form?

However, there is a principle to using form transformations: you must transform into something you understand, otherwise you will be able to use it smoothly.

After going through the options in his mind, Uchiha Shingen naturally chose the snake.

Of all living beings besides humans, he was most familiar with snakes. After all, those thugs in Ryūchi Cave could do everything except fly. They were not only good at burrowing, but also excellent swimmers.

Moreover, the giant snakes really do these things silently.

Uchiha Shingen, out of curiosity, had previously learned about the Orochi's activities through Kuro.

Uchiha Shingen immediately began to transform. His white Susanoo began to change shape underwater, and soon a large Susanoo snake was formed.

After trying to move according to the method that Kuro had told him, Uchiha Shingen immediately sensed the difference.

With a slight sway, it darted far out into the water.

Moreover, there was absolutely no sound.

Excellent work! Deserves a reward!

Overjoyed, Uchiha Shingen carefully maneuvered the sequel serpent upwards.

This wave can be called the Silent Freestyle Strike.

At this moment, the wind still howled on the water, and the waves surged, causing Uchiha Madara's Susanoo sway unsteadily.

Uchiha Madara didn't mind this blatant attempt to scheme against people at all; in fact, he found it quite admirable.

Moreover, he always likes to use Fire Release to counter Water Release.

After all, he considered himself a true Uchiha Clan.

The Hiding in Mist Technique, enhanced by Susanoo, was indeed extraordinary; even with his eye power, he couldn't discern the location of Uchiha Shingen Susanoo it.

As for diving, Uchiha Madara did consider it, but with Susanoo, even if someone dives, he can still detect them if they move underwater.

When Susanoo was shaken by the water's surface, he used Water Release to investigate below.

Although there was a lot of turbulence and it was difficult to discern anything, he did not sense any major movement underwater, nor Susanoo "feedback" from something as large as Susanoo. Therefore, he assumed that Uchiha Shingen was still on the surface of the water, waiting to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to ambush him.

Uchiha Madara had already scanned the surroundings with Fire Release and Lightning Release.

I actually hit something, but judging from the reaction, it should be a large-sized water clone.

He should start Chakra.

Uchiha Madara approved of this choice.

Water clones are notoriously low in Chakra, and among physical clones, they are the least powerful in combat. Their main use is to bait out the opponent's skills.

Uchiha Madara is now in Impure World Reincarnation, so he doesn't care about deceiving anyone. But Uchiha Shingen is different. No matter how much he extracts the Chakra of the Tailed Beasts, he still has to follow the basic principle of "exchange".

What he thinks isn't really a problem. Through the Cursed Seal, Uchiha Shingen uses the Chakra of the Tailed Beasts, and he does indeed have to expend his own Chakra.

There are just not as many as Jinchūriki.

At this moment, he was getting closer and closer to Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, and he could already see the two soles of his feet on the water's surface.

It's decided. First, I'll use the top three points on the head, then Susanoo's Entanglement, and crush them directly.

There's no way around it; with the technological advancements, their Susanoo no longer be destroyed by Ninjutsu.

Chapter 82 Few ninjas would train their buttocks.

The white Susanoo swam in the water, slowly approaching the pair of feet above.

Uchiha Shingen did indeed feel that the battle had been going on for a while.

It wasn't because of Chakra. Although he had used quite a bit, thanks to the Four-Tails' selfless contribution, he was still able to keep up. At least he didn't feel tired yet, so he hadn't reached the warning line.

The ninja profession is generally straightforward. Battles Genin and Chunin are usually quick and decisive, and even normal Jonin are alright. However, at the Five Kage level, it's easy for battles to drag on for ages.

The duration of the conflict is a minor issue; the real concern is that, as the fighting progresses, one's own people might be wiped out.

Not counting Sand Village, there's also Uchiha Itachi above them.

There are precedents for this. When he first participated in the Third Shinobi World War, Uchiha Shingen suffered a similar incident because he underestimated the spillover effect of Ninjutsu.

It can only be said that the Uchiha Clan is particularly suited to an offensive style, and their talent for creating a spectacle is indeed quite remarkable.

The term "fighting race" wasn't actually coined by the race itself.

With a loud bang, Susanoo burst out of the water and crashed headfirst into Susanoo.

The vast and turbulent lake surface provided a great advantage, making it impossible for even Uchiha Madara to stand properly.

Uchiha Shingen got to see the blue Susanoo squat down on its bottom as he wished.

That's right, if you're so capable, show him by squatting in the water.

And facts have already proven to him that very few ninjas practice releasing Chakra from their buttocks.

Even Uchiha Madara didn't have this experience. The Complete Susanoo perfectly replicate all the Ninjutsu the user knows, but Susanoo can't perform operations that the user hasn't even tried themselves.

This is a creation of Chakra, not a real person.

Uchiha Madara's Susanoo on its bottom underwater.

Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Shingen Susanoo to wrap it around in the water, then used the current created by the Wave-Riding Strike to drag it to the bottom of the lake.

"Wave-Riding Strike ..." Uchiha Madara's voice came through, his tone not very calm. "Yes, that guy is inherently cunning, his Ninjutsu is quite suitable for you."

Even through the Majestic Attire, Uchiha Shingen could clearly see Uchiha Madara at this distance.

This guy doesn't seem to be in a particularly bad mood right now; in fact, he looks a bit wistful.

And he was looking at Uchiha Shingen through his Majestic Attire.

"You built the lake in the first place just for this purpose?"

"I have to think of something, Patriarch."

"Hmm, it was my carelessness." Uchiha Madara felt he had had a good time today. Following the rules he had set for himself, he readily said, "Then this round is on me."

"So that's it for today?" Uchiha Shingen was secretly delighted.

What's the point of fighting with the Impure World Reincarnation Tensei?

That's Uchiha Madara; anyone else would have already thrown a bunch of Sealing Jutsu at him.

"That's about right," Uchiha Madara nodded in agreement. "Otherwise, there won't be any fun next time you're bored. You need to grow up a bit more."

Uchiha Shingen pretended not to hear the last sentence.

He's crazy, doesn't he need to go to work?

The Susanoo released itself from its restraints on the Susanoo, and the Chakra that made it up began to dissipate.

Uchiha Madara's Susanoo also began to dissipate.

During this process, both Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Madara detached from Susanoo and swam upstream.

Before long, the two shot out of the water like cannonballs, and with the help of Wind Release, they fell towards the distant "cliff".

Finally, they landed in front of the Four-Tails.

"Oh right, where's the Five-Tails?" Just as he landed, Uchiha Shingen remembered that the Five-Tails had been taken by Uchiha Madara to be used as a battery.

"Hmph, this beast." Uchiha Madara was somewhat displeased and issued a command to the Five-Tails through Genjutsu.

Soon, Uchiha Shingen heard a rumbling sound.

A little while later, the Five-Tails, shaking its head, jumped up from the bottom of the cliff.

"So it was still in the lake." Uchiha Shingen realized, then looked at the top of the Four-Tails' head. "Itachi, come here."

His gaze swept over Nagato and Konan.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Moreover, he is destined to be different from his predecessors as Hokage, so he won't be too harsh on Amegakure.

After all, the main conflict is no longer between ninja villages.

On the Four-Tails, Uchiha Itachi poked his head out. When he saw Uchiha Shingen, his expression clearly showed a hint of excitement.

"Brother Shingen, you're amazing!"

Uchiha Itachi looked quite pleased, quickly dismounted the Four-Tails, and ran to Uchiha Shingen's side.

"Clan leader, I'll take Itachi back then. I'll go say hello to the Kazekage."

"Hmm." Uchiha Madara nodded. "Okay, I'll make my move after you leave."

After saying that, he pointed to the wooden bindings on the Four-Tails' body.

Uchiha Shingen immediately Hand Seals, and the wooden bindings on the Four-Tails loosened with a series of creaking sounds, causing it to shrink back to the ground.

The Four-Tails, now free, remained rooted to the spot, its eyes still resembling Sharingan, just like the Five-Tails.

"Itachi, let's go," said Uchiha Shingen.

"Okay, Shingen- nii." Uchiha Itachi replied obediently.

Then he did something that surprised Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Itachi turned around, looked at Nagato which was still attached to the Four-Tails, and said loudly, "Nagato, remember what I just said. If you have any questions, you can come to Leaf Village to find me."

Upon hearing this, both Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Madara simultaneously turned to look at Nagato.
