Chapter 277: Fierce Battle
A kunai with a black curse mark flew past!
A figure in a white hood flashed and disappeared!
Shisui Uchiha didn't even have time to react before a ninja sword was unsheathed and appeared before his eyes!
"It's the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Shisui's eyes tightened. He immediately recognized the enemy's ninjutsu!
The other ninjas from the Naka Shrine leaped forward. "Lord Shisui, that's the enemy who saved Danzo tonight!"
"…Is it that rogue ninja named Zetsu?"
The once-famous "Shisui of the Body Flicker" was all too familiar with the use of the Body Flicker technique, and Shisui was also the first person to have ever fought the Flying Thunder God user, Zetsu!
Back then, he and Kakashi had confronted the Zetsu who was trying to assassinate the Third Hokage. That was the first time Zetsu had revealed his strength. The Zetsu of that time was just a novice ninja whose only highlight was the Flying Thunder God Technique…
Even his kunai-throwing was a mess…
Years later, the Zetsu of today had clearly transformed into a powerful ninja. Whether it was his sword skills or his taijutsu, he was in no way inferior to any enemy Shisui had ever encountered!
However, the Shisui Uchiha who had been training hard in the Naka Shrine was also completely unafraid!
Sword Leap Flame!
He quickly drew a short sword and blocked the enemy's attack with several consecutive slashes!
As the sword light flashed, streams of fire were flung out, forcing the enemy's figure back. The pitch-black wings on Shisui's back instantly carried his body soaring into the sky!
"Sage Art: Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Shisui's hands quickly formed hand seals, and a giant fireball suddenly spewed from his mouth. The fireball continuously absorbed the natural energy from the air, its body constantly expanding!
A mere Great Fireball Technique, under the enhancement of sage chakra, had already reached the might of a B-rank Fire Style jutsu! Its power might even be superior!
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
However, the enemy facing Shisui was completely unafraid. He formed a hand seal, and after only three seals, a water dragon rose out of thin air, coiling as it charged into the sky and dissipating along with the giant fireball…
Steam instantly filled the air!
"…Not good!"
Shisui's heart trembled. After the collision of the two ninjutsu, they had created a battlefield most suitable for a Flying Thunder God user, especially that ninja named Zetsu, who was most skilled at assassination!
What surprised him even more was that the monster's control over his ninjutsu was even more astonishing. Without sufficient chakra control, it was impossible to reduce the auxiliary hand seals!
"Group together!"
Shisui only had time to urge his subordinates to gather. "All units on alert! Shoot down all attacking kunai!"
"…Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A monstrous wave suddenly swept over them!
And the ninjas who had just gathered together had become the perfect target!
Except for Shisui, who escaped into the air relying on the wings on his back, and some who flew into the sky on their crows, the other ninjas were scattered by the waves. The entire Naka Shrine mountain was like it had been hit by a flash flood!
No one had expected the enemy's Water Style jutsu to be so powerful, or his hand seals to be so fast!
"How could I let you succeed… Sage Art: Fire Style: Great Fire Heavenly Dragon!"
A giant dragon of crimson flame formed in Shisui's mouth and flew out, rapidly evaporating the accumulated water on the ground. This was a Sage Art he himself had developed through deep immersion!
The fire dragon descended from the sky, charging fiercely towards the enemy in the white hood!
No one was more skilled at Fire Style than the Uchiha, especially a genius ninja like Shisui Uchiha who could play with fire-natured chakra to such an extent. He was not to be underestimated!
"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"
After the crimson flame dragon landed, a blade of water sliced through, cutting off the dragon's head and stopping its attack!
Unfortunately, the genius Fire Style ninja was facing the person in history most skilled at developing and using Water Style…
Tobirama Senju, under his hood, grinned, revealing an inscrutable smile. "His talent is indeed not bad, perhaps not inferior to that fellow Izuna Uchiha…"
But he was the one most skilled at fighting the Uchiha!
Whether in the Warring States Period or the One Village, One Nation era, or even now, Tobirama Senju had never stopped researching the Uchiha clan. Whether it was the Mangekyo Sharingan or their various Fire Style ninjutsu, he understood them all and could easily counter them!
The Sage Art chakra-enhanced Crimson Heavenly Dragon was indeed terrifying, and even a Water Wall might not have been able to block it. But the Water Severing Wave could destroy Shisui's Fire Style jutsu!
"That's the Second Hokage's Water Style jutsu… That guy Danzo! He really is still entangled with that rogue ninja!"
Shisui Uchiha's expression grew more and more tense. In all these years, this was the first time he had encountered such a strong enemy… But the him of today, compared to the him who had first encountered Zetsu years ago, was no longer the same person!
Three tomoe suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes, spinning and transforming into a windmill-shaped Mangekyo! Facing this enemy who was said to have once defeated Fugaku-senpai, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless!
"Sharingan: Open!"
The ninjutsu duel was just an appetizer.
According to the intelligence Shisui had obtained through the members of the Cultivation Class, Zetsu's close-range taijutsu and Flying Thunder God Technique had yet to be countered by anyone…
"I'll tie him down!" Shisui looked back at his subordinates and commanded, "You all, use the summoning crows' bodies and enter Sage Mode in batches!"
"Yes, Lord Shisui!"
As long as all of them entered Sage Mode, even if they couldn't defeat the enemy, they could at least tie him up in a fight and wait for support…
Tobirama Senju, under his white hood, watched as the ordinary ninjas sat down cross-legged, a giant crow standing behind each of them. His heart pounded. "This is not good. The Uchiha clan's strength has actually grown so quickly…"
If the Uchiha clan had possessed this kind of power during the Warring States Period, and if his big brother had been tied up by Madara Uchiha, the remaining members of the Senju clan might not have been able to win…
The power of Sage Mode—Tobirama had now thoroughly experienced it!
This Shisui Uchiha fellow was extremely tricky!
Even though Tobirama had a reanimated body, there was still Shisui's unpredictable Mangekyo ocular jutsu, as well as the Sage Mode which greatly enhanced a ninja's strength…
And this was the person Danzo had forced into rebellion? What a waste!
"It seems there's no way to clean up these people today…"
Tobirama Senju sighed lightly, his mind racing as he thought of a countermeasure. "Relying on the Sage Mode obtained from that crow, relying on the funds from the Land of Waves to gain a foothold…"
"Since these Uchiha cannot be used by Konoha, they must be brought under control. They cannot be allowed to develop freely…"
The figure in the white hood stood his ground, tossing the ninja sword in his hand and stabbing it into the floor as he spread his hands. "Shisui Uchiha, let's talk…"
"What scheme are you up to!"
The sweeping monk of Naka Shrine didn't dare to relax. Facing a Flying Thunder God user, a moment's carelessness could mean death…
The two sides faced off, one in the sky, one on the ground…
Until the other Uchiha clan ninjas had completed their Sage Mode transformation and began to surround Tobirama from all directions!
The Second Hokage snorted contemptuously and reached for his hood. "Hmph, a bunch of cowardly rats…"
