Chapter 117 One Boy, Three Shadows

Hokage Building.

Two wisps of chakra swirled around Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingertips, colliding continuously under his control—

There are already some initial signs of integration.

Meanwhile, the crystal ball on the table was broadcasting live images and sounds from the Uchiha clan's territory.

"The fusion of chakra is a tedious task; only through constant repetition can one occasionally catch a glimpse of inspiration—"

"Thankfully, there's this program with the teacher. Listening to it while practicing is a good way to balance work and rest."

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi said that...

When he heard Tobirama Senju righteously declare that he would inherit Madara's will and merge it with the Will of Fire—

Even the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, almost lost his composure.

That's pretty big, teacher!

After donning the mask and removing his divine robes, Tobirama Senju's thoughts became even wilder than before.

After all, it's not like he was Hokage anymore. People on stage have too many things to consider, and they always have to be mindful of the impact.

"The teacher's integration into the Uchiha clan is faster than I imagined—"

"It seems he's enjoying his life right now—" Hiruzen Sarutobi silently watched Tobirama Senju.

Even he, if he didn't know that he was the one who resurrected this genius Uchiha boy—

They might be fooled temporarily.

His remarks were obsessive, extreme, and idealistic, fitting his public persona in various ways.

"This is to seize the right to interpret Madara's Will, and internally consolidate the Uchiha's cohesion for their own use—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe with his other hand and exhaled a puff of smoke: "But the impact and effect of debating within the Uchiha clan will still be quite limited—"

"It's all just minor squabbles within a closed system."

"What the Uchiha clan needs now is external recognition. Only through widespread discussion throughout the village can the Uchiha's consensus be further focused on Tobirama-sensei—"

"Then that's what I need to do."

Hiruzen Sarutobi squinted, picked up a piece of paper, and quickly wrote down a few questions on it.

In a month, it will be the midterm exams at the Ninja Academy.

Naturally, there will also be questions about the Will of Fire.

Normally, as a ninja academy student, how you answer the questions on the exam paper shouldn't have any impact—

Even if what you say is completely nonsensical, you'll only get a zero at most.

But under the control of the Hokage, nothing is impossible—

For example, he could personally review and grade the papers, and select the papers from those of Tobirama Senju.

Based on the content, take the next step and choose an appropriate way to increase his exposure.

The Naruto can manually provide traffic.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't very clear about Madara's Will, as he was the first Hokage's successor and not an Uchiha.

However, considering what Tobirama Senju said, it was to resolve the hidden dangers facing the Uchiha clan and even the village—

In addition, his performance since arriving in Uchiha Aozumi Village—

Hiruzen Sarutobi's years of experience gave him some insights.

"I have a feeling the teacher will probably use Danzo as material—"

"An Uchiha being targeted by the Hokage but taking the initiative to confront him—that's enough to generate buzz. Danzo's long-standing reputation in the village also makes him a natural opponent for a duel—"

"As long as you can withstand the pressure."

Most ninjas would naturally not dare to do that to Danzo.

Even Orochimaru had to wait for the right opportunity, because Danzo's reputation and methods were not just for show.

Ninja Darkness is indeed quite skilled.

But the problem is, just as he said, Tobirama Senju doesn't care about Danzo at all.

They truly don't care and aren't afraid at all.

The Uchiha clan's reputation in the village was quite ordinary.

If you were to try and cause trouble for people like Sakumo Hatake and Hizashi Hyuga—

Even if we don't say that their behavior was without flaws.

Even if they did, they all had their own supporters, and neutral ninjas were more inclined to side with them than with a young Uchiha who had just entered the village.

But Danzo was different—

"The ninjas of Konoha have long suffered under Danzo's influence"—this description would not have been an exaggeration two or three years ago.

"If that's the case, Danzo, then your speed is still too slow—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and shook his head, thinking to himself, "They want to target the fastest ninja in the world, yet they're still waiting for an opportunity, instead of striking first—"

"You're going to get a lecture from the teacher!"

Danzo was still figuring out when to deal with "Uchiha Aokiji"—

But as the Hokage's assistant and head of the Anbu, he believed that the initiative was definitely in his hands.

Because in all those years in Konoha, apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo had always been the one who made the moves, never the one who could counter them.

"How interesting!"

"I inherited the legacy of the First Hokage, but my teacher wants to become the spokesperson for Madara's will?" Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly merged the two chakra balls on his fingers.

The chakra of the wind and water attributes has become even more integrated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly.

Make a fuss, make a fuss!

As long as he's around, minor disturbances in the village won't cause any major upheaval.

Meanwhile, in the Uchiha clan's territory.

The battle between Fugaku and Tobirama Senju has begun.

Fugaku wielded his ninja sword, displaying remarkable skill in both fluid jutsu and swordsmanship.

Although Yixin always criticizes him for being brainless.

However, he acknowledged Fugaku's talent; he was a gifted Uchiha.

"How is it, Qing Shui?"

Fugaku laughed loudly, parrying Tobirama Senju's slash: "Your speed is indeed astonishing, but my Sharingan isn't so slow that it can't keep up with you—"

"In terms of strength, I have the advantage, after all, I'm so much older than you!"

Fugaku suddenly exerted his strength, gathering chakra on the blade and forcing Tobirama Senju back—

But the Uchiha clan members, including Fugaku, were secretly alarmed—

How many days has Qing Shui had he eaten his fill, and how long has he been cultivating?

Give him another two or three years to fully develop.

If Fugaku remains stagnant, then his future confrontations with Aokiji and Uchiha Hachimoku will be no different.

"But there's nothing I can do, Qing Shui—"

"I'm betting the honor of the Uchiha clan on this. Even if you're a genius, I can't make way for you."

The three tomoe in Fugaku's eyes spun rapidly. He took a deep breath, gathering chakra in his chest—

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Fugaku showed no mercy, and flames swept towards Tobirama Senju, engulfing everything in their path.

This was also a technique he practiced to pay homage to the clan leader.

"With Qing Shui's current chakra and fire release skills, he can't beat my fire release—"

Fugaku calculated in his mind: "Use this move to deplete Aozumi's chakra, and then continue to suppress him from a distance with Fire Release techniques. His speed and chakra will then decrease—"

"Then I'll get close and use my eye power to defeat him in one strike!"

"Although this kind of fighting is unfair, this is not child's play. If we want to have a voice in the Uchiha clan, being young is not a factor that we can give in to—"

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes and also unleashed a fire jutsu, testing the limits of his body.

"This body is very compatible with fire-style chakra. Given time, mastering more sophisticated nature and form transformations will not be difficult."

"But the time was still too short; after all, we only invested two months in Fire Release techniques—"

"Fugaku is using the quantity and skill of chakra to wage a war of attrition against me."

"We still have to use the old methods—"

Just as Fugaku had thought.

When they clashed using Fire Release techniques, Uchiha Aokiji was no match for him and could only retreat step by step.

This scene also made the Uchiha members worried.

Yixin watched this scene with a complicated expression.

Although he had told Fugaku not to hold back, it was clear that "Seisui" was about to lose—

But Yixin still felt a strange unease in her heart.

He was also eager to hear how this boy, blessed by his ancestors, would combine the Will of Madara and the Will of Fire—

This aroused the expectations of Yixin, a cultured person.

"Go for it, brother! Go for it!" Obito shouted hoarsely, his fists clenched.

"Brother, use that move! Use the Mirror Ancestor's ultimate technique on him!" Shisui's face flushed red with anxiety, and he put his hand to his mouth like a megaphone: "We can't use Fire Release anymore!"

Shisui and Obito have very loud voices.

This surprised the Uchiha clan members.

Uchiha Kagami has a great reputation, but if you were to ask him what his special skills are, it's hard to recall them at first glance.

This is a well-rounded ninja.

"Kagami-senpai? Could it be some kind of advanced Fire Release chakra technique—"

"That's alright, I can do that too!"

Fugaku focused intently, increasing his chakra reserves and using Fire Release to suppress "Blue Water"—

"Good lad, you've struck gold by accident!"

Looking at the crystal ball, Hiruzen Sarutobi smirked, thinking to himself, "Now I can show it off properly, teacher!"

This probably refers to some unique ninjutsu that Tobirama Senju passed on to Kagami back then—

Tobirama Senju passed on many of his techniques for targeting the Uchiha to Kagami.

Hopefully, he can become his own alter ego, making good use of his Uchiha identity to suppress troublemakers within the clan.

However, ninjutsu is not something that can be mastered simply by being passed down, even if Kagami has a pair of very useful eyes.

Learning and mastering its application in combat is separated by an inexplicable and elusive talent.

Although Kagami Uchiha's thinking is quite different from that of the traditional Uchiha, his fighting style and combat methods are still traditional.

Those water-based techniques, some forbidden techniques, and illusions—

Uchiha Kagami was unable to integrate well into his own combat system.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

And just as Hiruzen Sarutobi predicted.

Tobirama Senju suddenly used an extremely exquisite Water Release technique—

Interestingly, to prevent himself from appearing too skilled, Tobirama Senju specifically formed six hand seals—

But it's still fast enough.

One after another, water dragons rose from the ground in this waterless environment.

He crashed into the fireballs that Fugaku kept unleashing!

"What exquisite water jutsu!" Upon seeing this scene, Uchiha En instinctively felt uncomfortable.

He experienced phantom limb pain for the first time in a long time.

"It's still far inferior to that son of a bitch, but it does have a hint of that spirit—"

"What's going on? Can the style of the young clan leader and that bastard be embodied in Qing Shui alone?" Uchiha En blinked hard.

This fusion is too strange—

It's no less delicious than eating dumplings with sweet bean sauce.

"This—" Uchiha Isshin tugged at his beard.

He never expected this turn of events.

So it was the Mirror Secret Technique that Shisui shouted, similar to Tobirama Senju's Water Release?

Your ancestors would cry if they knew!

"Oh, I won't cry. Uchiha Kagami is a die-hard fan of Senju Tobirama—" Uchiha Isshin muttered to himself, his feelings a mix of emotions.

Why do they learn bad things instead of good ones?

"Water Release? It's actually Water Release—" Fugaku's pupils shrank.

The Uchiha clan's use of Water Release is truly contrary to the established order—

Large amounts of fog billowed up within the area, obscuring visibility.

If we want to use Fire Release to suppress it all at once, we need a suitable opportunity to dispel the fog first.

Otherwise, we'll lose the initiative.

At that moment, Tobirama Senju charged toward Fugaku Uchiha, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He's entered his comfort zone.

"The Sharingan can be affected by the mist, but it doesn't mean you can't see anything at all—" Fugaku sneered, leisurely raising his long sword.

Since they are both Uchiha, in this environment, the contest of eye power becomes paramount.

Whoever has stronger eye power will be able to obtain more information.

But what Fugaku Uchiha didn't expect was...

Tobirama Senju formed hand seals extremely quickly, expanding his domain so rapidly that even the Sharingan couldn't see through it for a moment, obscuring Fugaku's vision!

"Illusion Technique: Darkness Travel Technique" -

This is the version first created by Hashirama Senju and later improved upon by Tobirama Senju.

Unless one possesses extremely strong pupil power, once hit, they will be harmed.

Even with three tomoe, most of the light is lost, and vision is suppressed to a very small area.

This time, after his rebirth, Tobirama Senju's mastery of illusion techniques was further enhanced, and he improved it so that his sense of smell and touch would be suppressed to a certain extent.

"What kind of technique is this?" Fugaku was shocked; he had never heard of such an illusionary eye technique before.

Fugaku quickly retreated, thinking to himself, "Breaking this illusion is the first priority, but I also need to dispel this fog!"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see his hand seals clearly, and we wouldn't be able to defend against this move—"

The three tomoe in Fugaku's eyes spun to their fullest extent, and a mouthful of raging fire gathered in his mouth.

After the darkness broke through, he was surprised to find that what he saw was not fog, but thick smoke.

"Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique!"

This is a technique that Madara Uchiha used to favor.

Similar to Fire Release: Ashes Burning, but with a wider range and greater power after the smoke, dust, explosion, and combustion.

Tobirama Senju stood outside the smoke, a wisp of flame flickering on his fingertips, and said calmly, "Brother Fugaku, don't move—"

"If you move, you'll be set on fire along with the smoke."

"Give up."

"Through my eyes, I see your future—"
