Chapter 421 The Thousand Hands Brothers' Helplessness

Qingshui didn't dare to say how high his level of Qimen magic had reached, but he had entered the realm of Qimen.

At least we have the ability to adapt to local conditions and make a plan based on the current temperament and environment.

In terms of the environment, this place has been transformed into a forest by Hashirama Senju, and the word "Zhen" happens to belong to wood, which is located in the east and represents thunder in the Eight Diagrams.

At this time, using the strange magic of the word "Zhen" to strengthen lightning-related skills is enough to double its power.

"Snapped!"

Hashirama Senju clenched his hands and clapped them together, and layers of huge ghost face masks protected his body.

"boom!!!"

The thunder and wood came into contact and exploded in an instant, with a sound that shook the earth.

On a small hill in the distance, Orochimaru held up a telescope and looked at the blurry battle scene in the image.

"Is this the Wood Release of the Ninja God? It's really a powerful force. He only used less than half of his strength to fight against Shimizu of the Sand Village like this."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, feeling a little excited.

He seemed to have regained his desire to study Wood Release.

A few years ago, he and Danzo secretly studied Wood Release, but unfortunately there was no result, so his attention shifted to other directions from then on.

As for now, after witnessing the power of Wood Release, Orochimaru has begun to think about restarting the Wood Release experiment.

Senju Tobirama also took a telescope and stood next to Orochimaru to watch.

No one in the ninja world had used this thing before, but the principle was very simple. After it appeared in the Sand Village, Orochimaru just took a few glances at it and deduced it based on its appearance and usage. Now it has become popular in the entire ninja world.

"Brother, you probably have about 40% of your peak strength, but the other party didn't use his full strength, did he? You told me before that this guy broke my Flying Thunder God, and there are all kinds of strange ninjutsu that he hasn't used yet. I'm worried..."

"Are you worried that the First Hokage will be sealed?"

Orochimaru chuckled, took out the telescope, and said to Senju Tobirama.

The latter also took down the telescope at this time, and looked at Orochimaru tacitly. They saw the unique meaning of an old bitch from each other's eyes.

"If we act like this, our eldest brother will blame us when he comes back."

“But if there is no one skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique to assist, I am afraid that the First Generation will really be sealed. However, as long as you go to provide a little help to the First Generation, I will take the opportunity to lead the army to attack the Sand Village without top masters, and the situation of the war can be completely rewritten.

Of course, the Shodaime and the Sand Village will definitely be dissatisfied, so all the blame will be borne by me. After the war, I will take the initiative to resign from the position of the Fourth Hokage and apologize to the Shodaime.

When the time comes, I will have to trouble you to help me persuade them a few more times."

Senju Tobirama nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, this kid has a dirty and evil heart, but he is willing to take the blame.

He is very intelligent and has outstanding ninjutsu skills, especially in the field of forbidden techniques. Orochimaru has truly impressed the master of forbidden techniques, Tobirama Senju.

If Orochimaru wasn't already his apprentice, Tobirama Senju would really want to take Orochimaru as his apprentice.

He really felt like he had found a close friend in this disciple.

The two are not of the same kind. At least Orochimaru would never do something like Senju Tobirama did, sacrificing himself and staying alone to cover the retreat.

But they do have a lot in common.

"You don't have to bear the blame. Just say that everything was my order. You are the fourth generation and I am the second generation. It is normal for you to listen to my orders. Big brother will not blame me too much for what I said."

Senju Tobirama crossed his arms and looked at Orochimaru.

"Then... I wish you all the best."

Orochimaru bowed gracefully to Senju Tobirama.

"I'm leaving first."

Senju Tobirama nodded slightly at Orochimaru, formed a seal with one hand, and disappeared in an instant.

……

The strong wind swept through with thunder, and on the ground, endless broken trees and branches turned into charcoal.

Hashirama Senju stood on the scorched earth, his cracked face full of seriousness.

When he was alive, the only person who could make him show this expression was Uchiha Madara.

And after he was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, one more appeared.

"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"

A huge and ferocious wooden dragon roared out, and facing it was a fleeing Chi dragon emitting lightning all over its body.

"Breathing of Li·Land Form·Dance of the Dragon at Night!"

The two dragons collided, causing a huge noise.

The Chi dragon disappeared, and the surface of the wooden dragon became bumpy, but it recovered quickly.

Qingshui raised his eyebrows slightly, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand grew longer in an instant, chopping the vine-like wood tentacles around him into pieces.

The Wood Dragon Technique's ability to absorb chakra is much stronger than other wood escape techniques.

So, at this time, Big Ivan released a tail flame from behind him, increased his speed, clasped his hands together, and enlarged them into a battering ram. He hammered towards the wooden dragon's head with overwhelming force, which stopped the wooden dragon's forward momentum.

The fat puppet also rushed out of the forest at this time, tore off the wooden strips on his body, and his arms also made a mechanical twisting sound, transforming into a pair of giant hands, as if he was a member of the Akimichi clan who had performed a partial multiplication technique. He hugged the tail of the wooden dragon, swung it up, and threw it repeatedly.

The puppet that has been transformed into a magical weapon is much stronger than Big Ivan in terms of combat power.

In addition, the fat puppet is mainly based on strength, and uses physical attacks that will not be absorbed by chakra, so it can target the wood dragon.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju also summoned a second wooden dragon, rushing towards Qingshui.

"You found that you couldn't gain the upper hand with Wood Release Ninjutsu, so you want to fight me in close combat?"

Qingshui smiled gently.

That’s good. This also gives me the opportunity to seal Senju Hashirama at close range.

The Kusanagi sword flashed with a cold blue light and went straight for Hashirama Senju's head, but was then slapped away by an arm wearing red armor.

Shimizu stretched out his left hand and caught Hashirama's right fist with one hand, then leaned forward and struck Hashirama in the abdomen with his knee, then quickly took a step back.

Because several wooden sticks suddenly emerged from Hashirama Senju's right arm and attacked him.

Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up and he rushed forward, but unexpectedly Shimizu pulled himself out from the Big Ivan who was bound by wooden bars and punched Senju Hashirama's head.

The more they fought, the more surprised Hashirama Senju became.

He seemed to see himself when he was younger.

Overflowing vitality, a strong physique, a huge amount of chakra and an extremely fast recovery speed.

Some injuries from bumps and bruises can be recovered in the blink of an eye. If you finally get the chance to use Wood Release to inflict some injuries, they can also be recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only then did Senju Hashirama realize that he was in a difficult situation.

He clearly underestimated Qingshui's close combat ability.

If it was still alive, it would be fine. The Impure World Reincarnation was a huge weakening for Hashirama Senju, who had a high-level sage body. His current Impure World Reincarnation body was only 40% of his peak level.

This level is definitely enough to deal with other Kage-level strongmen in close combat. Even if it is a Kage-level strongman like Hatake Sakumo who specializes in close combat, as long as he can break the defense, there is a chance that Hashirama Senju can rely on the infinite recovery ability of his resurrected body to win.

When it comes to fighting wars of attrition, Hashirama Senju has extensive experience.

It’s a pity that clear water is also very suitable for a war of attrition.

The recovery ability of a perfect demonized body is so great that even if Hashirama Senju in his prime period were to come over, he would probably be a little behind.

In terms of strength and speed, Shimizu is superior to Hashirama Senju who only has 40% of his strength. Shimizu also has plenty of combat experience. He doesn't know if he is worse than the battle-hardened Hashirama Senju, but it is definitely enough.

Perhaps it was because he brought the confidence he had in his previous life to the present, and Hashirama Senju made a wrong move.

So he could only retreat again and again, trying to find a chance to escape.

Because if they continue to fight like this, it will be easier for him to be caught and sealed.

"boom!"

A kick broke half of Hashirama Senju's body, and his body was embedded in the ground.

Amidst the flying dust, Senju Hashirama jumped out from the big hole he had just created again, opened his fists, and attacked Qingshui fiercely.

In the vision of the transparent world, Qingshui sees very clearly.

This is the wooden clone released by Hashirama Senju when he used the dust to obscure his vision.

Another clone was currently burrowing into the ground, trying to attack him.

The Kusanagi sword drew a perfect circle in the air, covering the wooden clone like a bright blue mirror.

"Breathing of Li·Seventh Form·Liyuan Mirror!"

The mirror shattered, and Hashirama Senju's wooden clone also turned into pieces of wood and fell down.

The Kusanagi sword extended into the ground, piercing another wooden clone and chopping off its head.

At this time, half of Hashirama Senju's body was repaired by the flying paper scraps. He clapped his hands and a fairy mask appeared on his face.

"Immortal Technique·Wood Release·Wooden Technique!"

As the ground was shaking, a huge half-wooden man emerged from the ground and waved its giant palm towards Qingshui.

Qingshui did not take it head-on, but instead sensed a kunai with the word "kill" cursed on it not far away, and teleported away.

The next second, Qingshui seemed to sense something, glanced slightly, turned around, drew his sword, and knocked several kunai away.

In an instant, the figure of Senju Tobirama appeared at the position of one of the kunai. He caught the kunai with his left hand, and his right hand turned into a water gun covered by a layer of rotating water whirlpool and stabbed towards Qingshui.

"what!"

The Kusanagi sword in Shimizu's hand turned again.

"Issue Breathing·One Type·Ion Cut!"

In the close combat, the water gun and Senju Tobirama's right arm were cut open at the same time.

Senju Tobirama decisively abandoned his right arm, pulled back, opened his mouth and spit out a few Senbon towards Qingshui, then left with Flying Thunder God.

Shimizu saw through Senju Tobirama's actions, but he couldn't predict whether this guy was really retreating or planning to use Senbon to launch Flying Thunder God to pursue him, so he also used blood demon art to teleport away.

"Humph, you Konoha ninjas are indeed insidious and despicable. I have long sensed that you, the evil White-haired Senju, are lying in ambush outside, ready to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Now on the battlefield, I guess Orochimaru has already led the main force of Konoha to attack us, the Sand Village people?

As expected of you, the shameless Konoha."

On a piece of charred land, Qingshui emerged from a kunai buried in the ground, looking at the Thousand Hands brothers who appeared above the heads of half-bodied wooden figures in the distance.

If it was just Hashirama Senju, Shimizu would be confident that he could seal him.

But with the addition of Tobirama Senju, who can use the Flying Thunder God, is elusive and quite powerful, things become a bit difficult.

Fortunately, Scorpion is in the team now, so he will not be unable to stop Orochimaru.

Although he said that the Konoha ninjas were evil, they in the Sand Village turned the Third Hokage into a human puppet, which was actually quite evil as well.

To be honest, he was quite curious about the reaction of the Konoha ninjas when they saw the puppet of the Third Hokage.

It’s a pity that this will get entangled by the Qianshou brothers.

I hope Scorpio can record a video so I can enjoy it when I go back.

"This is a battle between ninjas, young man. If you can't accept it, take your people and retreat back to the Sand Village."

Senju Tobirama, who didn't know that his apprentice had been turned into a human puppet, spoke to Qingshui in a cold voice.

"Tobirama, why are you here? Orochimaru..."

"Shut up, brother. If I hadn't done this, you would have been sealed away, and then would I have to watch the village being destroyed?"

Senju Tobirama shouted at Senju Hashirama rudely.

After being scolded by his younger brother, the latter could not help but hunch his back, lower his shoulders, and feel full of low pressure.

Then he straightened his chest again quickly.

"Tobirama, and Mr. Shimizu, let's all stop for now."

Senju Hashirama took the initiative to speak.

"Big brother!"

Senju Tobirama became anxious.

He felt that with Orochimaru on the front battlefield, they were the advantageous side, and what Hashirama Senju did was undoubtedly a waste of this advantage.

"This war was not necessary in the first place. Mr. Shimizu, let's negotiate. Even with Tobirama here, we can't defeat you, and you can't defeat us either. There's no need for us to fight over a war with no winner. Why not talk about it?"

Senju Hashirama said loudly.

In order to express goodwill, he also took the initiative to exit the Sage Mode.

Even if he wanted to, he could just clap his hands and return to Sage Mode in an instant.

After thinking for two seconds, Senju Tobirama stopped talking.

Because he felt that Hashirama Senju was right.

If they can't take Shimizu, then what's the point of defeating the Sand Village, let alone destroying it?
On the contrary, they had to be wary of a powerful person whose strength far exceeded that of the Five Kage and was only inferior to the eldest brother and Madara at the time, who would take revenge on Konoha.

It is impossible for him and Hashirama Senju to protect every Konoha ninja all the time.

On the contrary, keeping those people around would give them something to worry about.

This guy is not a madman like Uchiha. He won't be like Madara, who cuts off all ties and escapes from the village, right?
Faced with such an individual with the power to overturn the table, even Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, a pair of brothers who came from the Warring States Period and created a new era of ninja villages, would have no way to deal with him unless they could kill each other.

They had no choice but to negotiate.

And whether to talk or not depends on the other party's intention.

It's just that they have no choice at the moment.
