Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

As the battle dragged on, the Sarutobi clan ninjas realized that Tobirama Senju was holding back.

Some people's sense of justice was touched, and they immediately withdrew from the fight out of shame.

Some people feared Masao Sarutobi, and even more so Hiruzen Sarutobi, and dared not withdraw from the battle, but secretly went easy on him, going through the motions without putting in any real effort.

However, some shameless individuals became increasingly brazen, using Fire Release ninjutsu even more vigorously to attack the Second Hokage.

The collision of Fire Release and Water Release ninjutsu produced a violent roar and a continuous cloud of rising water mist. The visibility on the entire battlefield decreased, while the temperature increased.

As a resurrected dead man using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama Senju showed no reaction to the high temperature, calmly waiting for the right moment to launch a counterattack.

At the same time, this also gives the still-conscientious Sarutobi ninja a chance to live.

Just then, several Shimura ninjas, taking advantage of the water mist, quietly circled around to the back of the Second Hokage.

Their figures were concealed, their breaths faint, and the kunai in their hands glowed with a poisonous green light.

But they are simply delusional.

Tobirama Senju was a ninja who grew up during the Sengoku period, when ninjas were most skilled at assassination. Every famous ninja had faced the test of being assassinated in every possible way.

To put it bluntly, even when Tobirama Senju went to the toilet, he would hold an explosive tag in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, poking around in the latrine before he dared to loosen his belt.

It was precisely because Tobirama Senju was a master of assassination and counter-assassination that he conceived the idea of ​​creating the Anbu.

For a mere ninja from the Shimura clan to try and show off his assassination skills in front of the Second Hokage is utterly foolish.

Just as the group of guys were sneaking closer, Tobirama Senju's feet emitted a light reminiscent of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he instantly appeared behind them.

Before Shimura could detect anything amiss, he felt a chill on his back, followed by excruciating pain, and then he died instantly.

Tobirama Senju killed several Shimura ninjas, thus unleashing his full killing spree.

His right hand immediately gathered a dense amount of water-style chakra, compressing and compressing it again, forcibly squeezing out a thin and sharp line of water.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

The white water line moved with lightning speed, sharper than any ninja sword or ninjutsu, instantly slicing through the bodies of several charging Sarutobi ninjas.

The ninjas screamed as they fell to the ground in twos or threes, their bodies lying haphazardly, blood gushing from the severed parts, staining the soil beneath their feet red.

However, being cut in half at the waist does not lead to immediate death; they are destined to endure a horrific period of torment before their death.

The light from the Flying Thunder God Technique beneath Tobirama Senju's feet shone again, and his figure vanished from his spot, teleporting towards the other rebellious ninjas.

Every time he appeared, it was accompanied by streaks of blood and the loss of lives.

Upon seeing this, Shimura's ninjas screamed in terror:

"Oh no! It's the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"The Second Hokage is getting serious!"

Sarutobi Masao shouted sternly, "Everyone be careful! Don't scatter! Stick together and defend!"

But his reminder was meaningless. It wasn't that he was a step too late, but that even if ordinary ninjas gathered together, it wouldn't affect Tobirama Senju's killing spree.

The Second Hokage even sighed, "I've already used Water Release: Water Severing Wave, and you still dare to gather together?"

The next moment, Tobirama Senju used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear near the large group of Sarutobi ninja. A bright line of water swept across, slicing through dozens of Sarutobi ninja with extreme speed.

Dozens of people were brutally cut in half at the waist, and their screams were deafening.

Tobirama Senju turned a deaf ear to this, giving the enemy no chance to catch their breath.

His figure flashed quickly among the rebellious ninjas, taking the lives of several ninjas with each appearance.

In particular, once the gleaming water slicing wave appears, it will cut through the bodies of multiple ninjas, and their dying screams will rise and fall.

Shimura's ninjas were the first to be killed, falling on the battlefield like wheat being harvested, their bodies bobbing up and down in the blood-stained seawater.

The last surviving Shimura ninja cried out in despair, "Damn it! I'll kill you!"

He rapidly formed hand seals and uttered a low shout: "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave Barrage!"

Several sharp wind blades shot out from his mouth, tearing through the air with a sharp sound, and shot towards Tobirama Senju.

Upon seeing Shimura Danzo's impressive ninjutsu, Tobirama Senju's eyes dimmed slightly. He then dodged the wind blade attack with a swift movement.

The next second, he used the stolen ninja sword to sever the neck of the Shimura ninja, sending his head flying!

Tobirama Senju immediately dropped his ninja sword and formed hand seals.

With just three hand seals, he shouted, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A massive water dragon surged from his hand, its head held high, charging towards the surrounding ninjas with overwhelming force.

A fierce wind raged, water splashed everywhere, and the ninjas who were trying to surround and attack were forced to retreat.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the last Shimura ninja being dismembered, his pain reached its peak, and the urge to accept reality clouded his reason.

Knowing he was no match for the teacher, he turned to his two old classmates and said, "Xiao Chun! Yan!"

"Let's join forces and stop the teachers from killing us! We can't let anyone else die!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was full of sincerity. Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were stunned and instinctively stepped forward to stand beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Tobirama Senju stopped and confronted the three students.

He asked, a mixture of amusement and anger, "Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"You say you want to stop the fight, so why are you standing against me?"

"You saw it clearly. It was your clansmen who started the war. It was Shimura's ninjas who struck first. I've already been going easy on them and condoning it..."

"And yet you habitually stand opposite me, protecting the one who instigates the fight and escalates its intensity."

"What on earth is going on in your head?"

"And you two too! Koharu Utatane! Homura Mitokado!"

Tobirama Senju's sharp gaze made the two lower their heads, not daring to meet their teacher's eyes.

They were used to being indecisive, used to listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi, used to stopping battles, and even more used to protecting their clansmen.

They clearly wanted to repent to Tobirama Senju, but they habitually stood opposite their teacher.

Xiaochun, feeling guilty, asked, "Yan, did I...did I do something wrong?"

Mitokado Homura stammered, "I don't know, we... we'll listen to Hiruzen..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi painfully defended himself, saying, "Tobirama-sensei, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have put the interests of the clan above those of Konoha. But I think this civil war should stop immediately so that no more Konoha ninjas can shed blood."

"quibble!"

Another voice came from behind Tobirama Senju: "Monkey, it's true you want to stop the civil war, but why don't you look back and stop your own people?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the unfamiliar voice, and they all looked behind Tobirama Senju.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and some veteran ninjas exclaimed in surprise, "The First Hokage!"
