But a second later, nothing happened, leaving River momentarily stunned.
Tobirama Senju, however, was not surprised in the slightest. A smile appeared on his face.
Then the Explosive Tags on River suddenly multiplied-one became two, two became four, and four became sixteen.
The number of Explosive Tags grew exponentially. In the blink of an eye, they were packed densely together, surrounding everything around River.
Then came the first explosion.
Boom!
As though a fuse had been lit, the explosions chained together. Every Explosive Tag lit up at that moment, glowing crimson.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
An unimaginably massive explosion erupted, engulfing River.
"Lord Sui!"
Uchiha Fugaku cried out in shock.
He could never have imagined things taking this turn. The immensely powerful Lord Sui had actually been engulfed by Explosive Tags.
"That brat!"
The Nine-Tails muttered, his expression grave.
"He still underestimated his opponents. These are the Hokage of past generations!"

That went doubly for Tobirama Senju, who had once swept across the shinobi world.
The explosions continued for a long time, burning vast stretches of forest and scorching the earth black. River was completely lost from sight.
Tobirama Senju had also been engulfed, but he possessed an immortal body. As the flames dispersed, his figure came into view.
Most of his body had been blown apart, yet it was still rapidly regenerating.
"Lord Tobirama is truly incredible!"
Danzo exclaimed excitedly.
If Namikaze Sui had been killed in the explosion, they could easily deal with Uchiha Fugaku alone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Hashirama Senju still held his palms together, continuing his preparations. His expression remained grave as he stared fixedly
