Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

"knew…"

Izuna chuckled and said:

"Is it impressive for a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast to fight two against one?"

"There are two of us..."

The "Yata no Mikiri" mark on the back of Tobirama's neck flickered, and Izuna's power flowed rapidly into his limbs and bones, as if the two had become one.

Tobirama's three tomoe spun rapidly, merging into the shape of Izuna's kaleidoscope.

Compared to Killer Bee's black and red Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak, Tobirama was now enveloped in an ominous purplish-black chakra. It swirled and surged around him like a ghost, yet also seemed alive.

"Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Dark Crossing!"

A technique that involves surrounding oneself with malevolent energy to greatly enhance speed, strength, and nerve reaction speed.

The Eye Flame Pill was infused with chakra, igniting a blood-red flame!

Killer Bee's pupils contracted, his attacks continued, but he exchanged a fleeting, telepathic message with the Eight-Tails:

"A Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha? And external chakra!"

"This guy's tough! Be careful, Killer Bee, his eye power is making me uneasy..."

The Eight-Tails quickly replied, "I'll give you as much chakra as possible!"

The combined eye power of Tobirama and Izuna, as perceived by the Eight-Tails, bore a high degree of similarity to Madara's.

The octopus was already a little stressed just by seeing it.

This is one of the reasons why Madara doesn't want to reveal his identity.

His reputation in the ninja world, in a sense, could indeed help to dispel hatred and unite the major hidden villages to find a way to deal with him first...

Of course, things are different in Konoha now; Madara has become a more positive historical figure in the village.

Killer Bee unleashed all his power, and seven blades spun and danced around him, forming an impenetrable wall of blades that attacked Tobirama from all directions!

Tobirama let out a soft breath.

In his Mangekyou Sharingan, Killer Bee's speed seemed to be in slow motion, and his extremely strong dynamic vision captured every trace of killing intent in the swordsmanship.

"Kumakushi Village is full of talented people; this kid's swordsmanship and explosive power are remarkable..."

Tobirama narrowed his eyes. In his judgment, an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha might be able to see the trajectory of Killer Bee's sword technique, but his body might not be able to react in time.

"But my nerve reaction speed is different, and besides, this person isn't an ordinary kaleidoscope..."

The clang of metal resounded throughout the battlefield!

The crimson blade flashed through the air, precisely parrying the most lethal of the seven blades.

Immediately afterwards, Tobirama flipped his wrist, and Hitomaru drew a strange arc, orderly parrying the blades of the seven swords. Before Killer Bee could launch another attack, it slashed straight at his throat!

At that moment, a knife that was at Killer Bee's knee was actually close to Tobirama's thigh.

However, Tobirama didn't care at all, because he cut Killer Bee's more vital spot.

Moreover, Tobirama possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, so exchanging injuries with him won't be that simple.

Killer Bee's pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly dodged to the side. The blade grazed his neck, leaving a trail of blood!

"So fast!"

Killer Bee was startled and dared not be careless in the slightest.

The blades clashed, producing a continuous, intense clang that was almost painful to the ears.

Two figures danced wildly, leaving behind countless afterimages.

Killer Bee had mastered the Seven Swords Style to its fullest extent; every move he made was unpredictable, attacking Tobirama's vitals from all sorts of unexpected directions.

But no matter how fast his sword was or how tricky the angle, Tobirama could always anticipate his movements and parry with precision using Hitomaru, then launch an even more ferocious counterattack.

After only thirty rounds of sword fighting, Killer Bee was already feeling unprecedented pressure.

His strength was absolutely top-tier among his peers. Even with his older brother, the Fourth Generation A, Killer Bee had gradually begun to silently accommodate him. But at this moment, with each clash of blades, Killer Bee could feel that his opponent's strength was in no way inferior to his own, and the recoil made his hands numb and sore.

The Senju clan's unique "superhuman strength" technique!

What alarmed Kirabi even more was the speed.

Killer Bee's pride and joy, speed, was completely outmatched by Tobirama!

They were firmly suppressed from the very beginning, and could only reset the turn by unleashing the tailed beast chakra several times.

"This is the allure of the Mangekyou Sharingan in close combat..."

"No wonder Izuna's swordsmanship is like a mad dog's; he completely slows down the enemy's movements. As long as your nerves can keep up, there's no reason for you to lose..."

Tobirama remarked from the bottom of his heart:

"With the added enhancement of 'Dark Road Guardian,' it's fortunate that guy didn't awaken this eye technique when he clashed swords with me, otherwise it would have been a huge problem!" Under the influence of the murderous aura, Tobirama even felt that Izuna could block his Flying Thunder God Slash!

puff!

Another spray of blood appeared.

Tobirama took a deep breath, recalling Izuna's mad dog-like fighting style, and began to imitate it.

It's not that Tobirama was trying to pay homage to Izuna.

Rather, his body and eyes are best suited for close combat, just like Izuna's.

After all, the hardware is basically the same, and the software is already installed...

Tobirama's sword grew faster and faster, as if he didn't care about Killer Bee's attacks at all, looking like he wanted to take his opponent down with him!

"Who's afraid of who!"

Enraged, Killer Bee violently plunged the two long swords from behind his knees into Tobirama's groin, no longer dodging the attacks aimed at his vitals. Because Tobirama was faster, he always attacked Killer Bee's most vulnerable spots first, forcing the opponent to abandon his offensive and defend, making him an absolute "attack-only" attacker.

But Kirabi understood it too.

If things continue like this, he will only fall completely into the opponent's rhythm. So instead of defending, he might as well go all out and "trade injuries" with the opponent! Anyway, he has the self-healing ability of a Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beast Cloak. As long as he can avoid damage to his vital points, he will definitely gain in the exchange of injuries! Killer Bee's pupils behind his sunglasses contracted, and he stopped singing and gritted his teeth.

He was prepared to take a stab from Tobirama, then pierce Tobirama's body with the twin swords at his knees...

Tobirama smiled slightly, then tilted his body to increase the force, slashing heavily at Killer Bee!

Blood splattered everywhere!

At the last second, Killer Bee barely managed to dodge the blade from his neck, sidestepped forward, and took the blow with his shoulder, while forcefully thrusting the twin swords behind his knees toward Tobirama!

But what happened next shocked Killer Bee.

His twin swords missed completely, because Tobirama had vanished from the spot.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

But in the next second, as the blade slashed across, Tobirama flashed back to Killer Bee's side once again, and Mugenmaru slammed down heavily!

On the chest of this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the tailed beast's outer garment was cut open, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound!

The blade flashed, yet was deadly; Tobirama slashed again and again!

Thighs, shoulders, arms...

Killer Bee is bleeding profusely everywhere!

"Bee, I'll take over your body, step back!" the Eight-Tails roared, its eight tails shooting out from Killer Bee's back and forcing Tobirama back. "Alright, Hachi, it's up to you! I didn't expect you to be so proactive today..." Killer Bee said, enduring the pain.

Although Killer Bee is now able to partially transform into a tailed beast and utilize the Eight-Tails' chakra.

However, he and the Eight-Tails haven't yet reached a point of complete understanding, though their relationship is far better than that of ordinary Jinchūriki. But today, the Eight-Tails can't sit still any longer and has to play the role of the perfect Jinchūriki alongside Killer Bee.

Tobirama's eye power, which it perceived as being very similar to Madara's, forced the Eight-Tails to abandon its minor tug-of-war with Killer Bee and fully commit to the battle.

If Killer Bee were captured by the Uchiha clan, who resembles Madara, would I be in any good shape?

We must fight with all our might, fight to the death, and give it our all!

"Tailed Beast Transformation - Second Form - Half-Tailed Beast Transformation!"

Compared to Yugito's posture, Killer Bee was even more ferocious, not only was his entire body enveloped in dense tailed beast chakra, but two chilling white bones also appeared on his elbows.

"Oh?"

Tobirama narrowed his eyes:

"He finally managed to use this move, but judging from the smoothness of it, it's much faster than the intelligence reports..."

Killer Bee's biggest mistake was not entering a stance that could withstand most sword strikes from the start, but this was also part of his battle design. Generally, he would suddenly enter a half-tailed beast form during a stalemate.

With a dramatic increase in strength, speed, and defense, they can quickly overwhelm and kill enemies who are not adapted to the situation.

Unexpectedly, Tobirama and Izuna's combined mad dog fighting style meant that the knife seemed to be stuck to Killer Bee's body, giving him no chance to gather chakra. It was only with the Eight-Tails' full power that he barely managed to break free.

"Will he break through in the heat of battle? Why is the Eight-Tails helping him like this..." Tobirama squinted, Killer Bee's posture reminded him of Uzumaki Shio.

For pure swordsmanship and taijutsu ninjas, the invulnerability of the half-tailed beast form is indeed a natural counter.

"Kid, those eyes of yours really disgust me..."

"What's your relationship with Madara?"

Killer Bee, in his half-tailed beast form, emitted the voice of an eight-tailed beast.

Tobirama was taken aback, but immediately understood.

So it was Izuna's eye power that caused the Eight-Tails to react?

Tobirama, recalling Madara's past actions—treating Tailed Beasts like animals, dragging them along with Susanoo without any dignity, while constantly mocking them… "That's not surprising, not surprising at all…" Tobirama and Izuna said sarcastically, their tone suggesting they even sympathized with the Eight-Tails: "If it were a clan head, getting the Tailed Beasts to set aside their prejudices and fight alongside the Jinchuriki against external enemies would be a piece of cake. He could even unite the entire ninja world!"

After all, Tobirama was the number one Madara in the ninja world.

Izuna coughed lightly.

Why does this child always tell the truth?

However, Izuna didn't suspect anything, because from the beginning Tobirama had been using the "Madara" name, actively waving the flag and shouting slogans at the Uchiha clan conference, and had even confronted Danzo.

The character design was very solid from the very beginning.

It's normal to feel slightly dissatisfied now, simply because the enemy, Madara, has spurred on his fighting spirit.

"After all, Qing Shui is still a teenager, and a bit rebellious."

Izuna comforted himself.

He discovered that when even the Uchiha clan dared not mention Madara, "Qingshui" was the only one who disregarded everyone's opinions and openly sought to clear Madara's name.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi restored Madara's status, "Aoshui" became less fond of Madara, occasionally making sarcastic remarks about Madara's abstract diplomatic maneuvers when chatting with Izuna...

Izuna naturally assumed that this was just teenage rebellion, a tendency to go against the grain…

But actually, Tobirama just couldn't hold back anymore...

"This matter..."

"After all, Big Brother captured a large number of Tailed Beasts for the sake of Konoha, and his methods were somewhat brutal, so he left behind a less friendly image. There's nothing we can do about it."

"That's all in the past, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it..."

Izuna laughed it off.

Killer Bee and Tobirama faced off.

Even though he couldn't maintain this form for long, Tobirama's strange behavior still made the Eight-Tails hesitant to act rashly. Mindless attacks were pointless; this was a ninja who knew the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"We can only keep him occupied here. Hopefully, the fourth generation of Ai can break the deadlock..."

Eight-tailed Fox glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and her heart tightened slightly.

The situation over there is also very pessimistic…

now.

The fourth generation Ai and Minato were like two flashes of blue and yellow light, constantly intertwining and colliding!

"Such speed..."

Once in battle mode, since it wasn't a friendly match with fellow village ninjas or students from the ninja academy, Minato stopped spouting those strange remarks he'd stolen from his master and focused intently on the Fourth Hokage, A, as they began their duel!

The Flying Thunder God Kunai collided with the fist!

Neither side would give way. Every punch and kick they exchanged created shockwaves, sending up wave after wave of air and raising clouds of dust.

The fourth generation of Ai became increasingly confused as he fought, experiencing a disorienting feeling as if he were fighting against himself.

The Fourth Hokage confirmed that Minato must have practiced a technique similar to the Cloud Village Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

His physical sensations, and the slight surge of electricity on Minato's body surface—though not exactly lightning armor—were proof that his body was being fully activated by the use of lightning.

"How do you know our Cloud Village's techniques!" The Fourth Hokage, A, finally retreated and shouted sharply.

At this moment, his body was also covered with wounds left by the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Minato's slash, when delivered at full power, was also able to effectively pierce through the Fourth Hokage A's Lightning Armor.

It will just reduce the force a bit, but that's fine, I can just slash a few more times.

In terms of strength, the fourth generation Abbey Minato is a notch stronger.

The problem is that Minato is a level above him in both speed and reflexes.

As a result, the fourth generation of Ai could only passively take hits and then look for opportunities to fight back.

Occasionally, when he encountered Minato, he would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away and then return to begin the next cycle.

The overall art style during the battle is almost identical to that of Tobirama's battle against Killer Bee...

"Why would you ask such a question..." Minato asked with a face full of curiosity.

At this moment, he only had some creases in his clothes from the collision and was unharmed.

Minato's fighting style is like this: as long as the opponent's system cannot deconstruct his Flying Thunder God Technique, then no matter what the opponent can do, he will be "marked" as harmless, resulting in a one-sided crushing situation.

Unless you encounter a very "unique" ninja, such as the Third Raikage, who can ignore his slashes.

"If I remember correctly, isn't Kumogakure's favorite place to plunder the secret techniques and bloodline limits of other hidden villages? And new ninja tools too..." "What, you think you're the only one who can steal from others?"

Minato said softly:

"You guessed right, this is the genuine Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but I haven't mastered the Lightning Release Armor yet. The later forms don't suit my fighting style."

"However, I misspoke earlier. I didn't steal it. I obtained it by killing spies from the Hidden Cloud Village who had infiltrated Konoha. It was a legitimate trophy of self-defense."

The fourth generation Ai's expression turned ugly.

He naturally knew that a group of elite Cloud Village spies had infiltrated various hidden villages to gather intelligence when the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was attacked a few years ago.

Among them were many skilled leaders, so most of the intelligence spies from other hidden villages were safe and sound.

Only the entire army that went to Konoha was wiped out, including one of A's friends who was very skilled in Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

He was a talented ninja.

"Hmph, it's your skill to take it!" Fourth Generation Ai held back for a long time, but couldn't say anything high-sounding.

The values ​​and logic of Hidden Cloud Village are, in a sense, quite simple.

They value loyalty and friendship domestically, but prioritize plunder and conquest internationally.

Ultimately, it comes down to who has the bigger fist and who has the right to speak; moral blackmail is not something the Hidden Cloud Village likes to do.

When Minato saw the Fourth Hokage A's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh.

Where did this savage come from?

It's quite interesting...

"Here's a suggestion..."

"Go talk to your father, the Third Raikage, about withdrawing the troops and discussing war reparations and a surrender agreement. This will help reduce the number of Cloud Village ninjas who die. Don't always focus on Konoha; it doesn't benefit anyone."

Minato sighed. Although he killed without blinking an eye, he actually hated war.

Regarding the peaceful development and rapid enhancement of the village's strength advocated by his master, Hiruzen Sarutobi…

In addition, Minato wholeheartedly supported the ideas of common development, using Konoha's prestige to deter the ninja world, and mediating disputes.

"Don't even think about it!"

"The Third Hokage may have been a truly kind and peaceful person, but the founding genes of your Konoha contain the very essence of a ninja demon," the Fourth Hokage, A, said in a deep voice.

"The Third Hokage is getting old; how much longer can he remain Hokage?"

"Not to mention the Uchiha clan has already restored Madara's reputation! What they're trying to do might fool the Hokage, but do you think they can fool the other hidden villages? Don't be ridiculous!"

"What's more, now there's a teenage version of Madara!"

The Fourth A waved his arm, pointing to Tobirama, who was confronting Killer Bee to the side.

The Eight-Tails' wariness and sudden help, coupled with Tobirama's current Uchiha identity, made it clear what the Eight-Tails was wary of... His words stunned both Tobirama and Minato.

What does it mean...

"You mean, the Hidden Cloud Village believes that Madara Uchiha was able to have his reputation restored because the Uchiha clan was deceiving the Hokage?" Tobirama chuckled and couldn't help but ask.

He realized that his apprentice's reputation and public image were rapidly approaching those of his elder brother.

If this continues, it will eventually reach a level comparable to high-level illusion magic...

"Otherwise what?"

"Although I don't think 'kindness' and 'peace-seeking' are good qualities for a Kage in the ninja world, the Third Hokage certainly embodied them."

The Fourth Hokage, A, was somewhat bewildered by Tobirama and Minato's reactions, but still spoke sternly:

"You don't mean to say that the person recognized as the successor to the will of the God of Shinobi, who released the Kusagakure prisoners and cooperated with Amegakure instead of annexing it, would willingly acknowledge the Shura of the Shinobi World, do you?"

"Everyone knows that Madara Uchiha was Hashirama Senju's rival!"

Minato and Tobirama exchanged a glance, both of them on the verge of losing their composure.

Don't say...

It really is true what the fourth generation Ai said.

Tobirama was from the Uchiha clan, and Minato's close friend despite their age difference was Homura Uchiha. Both of them knew that some Uchiha thought Hiruzen Sarutobi was even quite similar to the good-natured Madara Uchiha…

But to people from other villages, things seem completely different!

"You mean, your hostility towards Konoha stems from the fear that the Hokage won't remain in power for long, and that the Uchiha clan will eventually produce another Madara, hence your vigilance?"

Tobirama said thoughtfully.
