Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 498 Brothers' Battle

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Violent explosions capable of shattering eardrums rang out one after another, accompanied by wild, uncontrolled winds swirling erratically in all directions.

Collapsed buildings, flying land, and towering flames created a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju stand facing each other.

Tobirama.

Hashirama Senju looked at his younger brother with a calm voice.

"Why would you help Uchiha Kin?"

Because I've never played it before.

Tobirama's face was cold; his face, which was like an iceberg for eternity, revealed no thoughts.

"Brother, all these years, I have always stood behind you, watching you quell the chaos and establish the ninja village."

"I have never expressed my own thoughts."

Besides targeting Uchiha Madara.

Of course, it's because the silly older brother just rushes forward headlong, and he takes care of all the details, big and small.

"I have always been your appendage, but this time I also want to infuse my will into it."

Whatever Hashirama Senju's dream was, he did it with all his might, whether it was peace in the ninja world, forgiving the Uchiha, or developing Konoha.

He has always been living up to Hashirama Senju's dream.

It doesn't belong to him.

Tobirama Senju clasped his hands together.

"I'm no longer the younger brother standing behind you."

"I don't think my strength is much less than yours."

The power he obtained from that evil Uchiha made him surpass his former self.

It even surpassed Hashirama Senju.

"Let me show you."

"My strength."

"elder brother."

The sky was already dusty, and dark clouds continued to obscure it.

(Dark Cloud: Am I some kind of cheap thing that can be summoned and dismissed at will? (ˇ_ˇ:))

A raindrop slowly fell from the sky. Hashirama Senju tilted his body slightly, and the raindrop brushed past his body as it fell to the ground.

There was no sound as the raindrops pierced the ground; they were not raindrops at all, but sharp needles of water.

Sage Art! Water Release! Heaven's Cry!

Countless raindrops fell from the sky to the ground.

Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, and the wood around him grew rapidly, transforming into a shield of fanged demons.

Wood Release: Crimson Ribbon Technique!

The enormous demon shield blocked the rain from falling from the sky, and the two collided with a metallic clang.

The sound "dang dang dang" kept evoking associations.

Hashirama Senju pressed his hand to the ground.

Countless wooden hands appeared around Tobirama Senju.

Wood Release! All are Cloth Bag Techniques!

The wooden hands quickly closed, trapping Tobirama Senju inside.

Amidst the rain, the figure of Tobirama Senju, with his hands clasped together, flashed by.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

"Anywhere within the rain is a place I can reach with my Flying Thunder God Technique."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, his chest swelling rapidly.

Sage Art! Water Release! Water Severing Wave!

A thin white thread shot out from his mouth, and as his head turned, it severed the shield blocking Hashirama Senju.

The severed demon shield was lifted by gravity, and a gigantic arm reached out to grab Tobirama Senju in the sky.

A giant wooden figure emerged from under the shield, with Hashirama Senju standing on its head, surrounded by a wooden dragon that blocked the water needles falling from the sky.

A white line flashed across the wooden dragon from afar, and Tobirama Senju appeared behind him.

The wooden dragon then split into four pieces.

Immortal Technique! Flying Thunder God Slash!

At the same time, Hashirama Senju's body was also split in two, and the two halves turned into wood and slowly melted into the wooden doll's body.

Wood Clone Technique.

At that moment, the wooden figure turned around and delivered a heavy punch to Tobirama Senju, who was standing in mid-air.

Although he was in mid-air, Tobirama Senju's figure suddenly rose higher, as if something was dragging his body.

In the dim light, a huge figure made entirely of water stood in the rain.

Sage Art! Water Release! Water Man Technique!

The Water Man Technique, which imitates Hashirama Senju's Wood Man Technique, is actually just as powerful, and may even be stronger due to the addition of natural energy.

Tobirama Senju stood with his arms crossed on the head of the water figure, looking at the wooden figure in front of him.

The rain gradually stopped, but the surrounding area had turned into a vast ocean, submerging the legs of the two giants.

The two giants moved simultaneously and charged at each other.

The water spirit punched the wooden figure, and the wooden figure kicked the water spirit.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two loud bangs were heard, and both giants staggered back a couple of steps.

At the same time, Tobirama Senju clapped his hands together.

Sage Art! Water Release! Water Dragon Technique!

The raindrops condensed in the sky to form a roaring giant dragon.

Hashirama Senju, who was sheltering from the heavy rain inside the wooden doll, had his hands clasped together.

A massive dragon also emerged from the wooden figure.

Sage Art! Wood Release! Wood Dragon Technique!

The wooden dragon and the water dragon collided, but the wooden dragon passed through the air, and the water dragon in front disappeared.

Instead, the water dragon suddenly appeared below, crashing headfirst into the wood dragon's body, causing the wood dragon to sway. It then turned and lashed out with its tail at the water dragon.

Tobirama Senju remained calm, his thoughts hidden beneath the surface like a millennium-old iceberg.

He understood Hashirama Senju's power better than anyone else; the strength of Wood Release lay in its ability to suppress chakra.

With the same amount of chakra, it takes almost twice as much chakra to deal with Wood Release.

But natural energy is different.

It uses only natural energy.

He won't lose!

"I've finally reached the same level as you."

"elder brother!!"

With a roar, Tobirama Senju generated a powerful suction force, drawing all the surrounding rainwater towards him like iron filings drawn to a magnet.

It completely enveloped him and the water creature beneath his feet.

If we were to say who was the true pinnacle of the ninja world in the past, it would actually be Tobirama Senju.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju both experienced rapid growth thanks to the gifts from Indra and Ashura.

Tobirama Senju, on the other hand, learned everything step by step on his own, even going from ordinary ninjutsu to techniques involving space and life and death.

He is also the only man in the history of the ninja world to have come into contact with the Pure Land while still being a mortal.

Even Minato Namikaze was only the biggest beneficiary of Tobirama Senju.

Countless water surfaces transformed into a kind-faced old man clad in armor, surrounded by halos of light.

The Dharma Body of the Immortal of All Laws!

"I'll wake you up, my brother."

"Tobirama!!"

The wooden figure's body rapidly expanded, and a colossal wooden Guanyin, a thousand meters tall, appeared on the earth, with countless arms behind her transforming into a giant wheel.

The giant wheel spun, and countless arms began to wave from behind.

Celestial magic! A Buddha appears atop the crown!

The halo behind the immortal's physical body emitted different lights, and countless waves of energy of various colors lit up all around.

Immortal Techniques! All Techniques Condensed into Immortal Power!

Countless arms crashed down.

Countless energies were instantly unleashed.

As matter and energy collide, everything around is being destroyed.
