The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 10 The Uchiha clan was happy to help the Senju clan expand its lineage.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

The preemptive strike by Tobirama Senju clasped his hands together, and tadpole-like patterns immediately appeared on the ground beneath his feet, forming a massive summoning array. Then, four coffins rose from the array.

"You're toying with the souls of the dead again, Tobirama Senju. You're truly despicable and shameless."

When Jinjiao saw this scene, he felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

Tobirama Senju's chakra was no match for that of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who possessed the Nine-Tails' chakra. Half the credit for being able to hold out against them for so long should be attributed to his fearless and limitless chakra, the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

In addition, Tobirama Senju had no shortage of supplies, and his spatial scrolls were filled with explosive tags.

The [Mutual Explosive Tags] ninjutsu, developed in conjunction with [Impure World Reincarnation], is like a dead bomb that continuously summons and detonates explosive tags whenever it touches a target, until the target is blown to ashes. It left the two brothers covered in dust and dirt.

"Despicable and shameless?"

"Two insubordinates who rebelled against their village leader, do they even have the right to call others despicable and shameless?"

Tobirama Senju scoffed disdainfully, directly controlling the four impure spirits in the coffins, each covered in explosive tags, to pounce on the charging Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Using the dead was the most suitable way to deal with their Six Paths Noble Phantasms.

If it weren't for the two brothers' tailed beast cloaks being a bit troublesome, making them tough and quick-reacting, someone would have already fallen to Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Just like Uchiha Izuna, who killed Madara Uchiha's younger brother on the first use of this technique and also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, the first-encounter killing ability of space-time ninjutsu means that if the opponent is even slightly slow to react, it will end in defeat and death.

"The Banana Leaf Fan!"

Facing four Edo Tensei corpses charging towards him, whose strength barely reached that of elite Jonin, Kinkaku stepped forward, holding the Six Paths Treasure Tool, the Banana Fan, which resembled a peacock's tail and was red and white.

This is a powerful weapon that ignores the nature of one's own chakra and can unleash the five nature transformations of fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth in one go. Its only side effect is that it consumes half of a Jonin's chakra every time it is used.

Jinjiao used his banana leaf fan to suddenly fan forward.

The raging sea of ​​fire was fanned out by the banana leaf fan, and the four impure dead simultaneously spat out water dragon bullets, which collided with the sea of ​​fire, evaporating into a sky full of high-temperature mist.

The impure corpses with unlimited chakra unleashed a series of ninjutsu in an attempt to get close to Kinkaku and Ginkaku, but they were all blocked by Kinkaku's banana leaf fan. As long as the impure corpses covered with explosive tags did not get close, the threat to the two brothers was almost zero.

Ginkaku watched with great interest as Tobirama Senju and Takeo Uchiha fought with the reanimated dead. He longed to fight the living.

There's no need to rush now. Although they are impulsive and easily angered, they are not fools. The life-or-death infighting within Konoha Village can save them a lot of energy.

To some extent, both Kinkaku and Ginkaku wanted to encourage Uchiha Muan, after all, they were also worried that Tobirama Senju, with his endless stream of forbidden techniques, might find a way to take them all down before he died.

Most importantly, the strategic objective of this trip was achieved: killing the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, who were the successors to the Second Raikage. If they hadn't gotten into a fight, they wouldn't have had to kill Tobirama Senju.

What they desire most is to return and take control of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Your turn, you evil Uchiha brat!"

With a deep understanding of human nature, Tobirama Senju left Kinkaku and Ginkaku to the reanimated dead to deal with, and focused his attention on Uchiha Takeoshi.

He now has two choices in front of him.

One option was to use the Flying Thunder God Technique for a strategic retreat. Without the burden of chakra, even if Tobirama Senju didn't have much chakra left, it would be enough for him to safely retreat to the outskirts of the forest and be met by the Konoha ninja army.

Another option is to kill Uchiha Muan with a single strike, just like when he killed Uchiha Izuna, then take or destroy his Mangekyou Sharingan, and finally make a graceful exit.

To prevent the emergence of another Uchiha powerhouse like Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the entire Hidden Leaf Village might have fallen under the evil rule of the Uchiha clan without Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.

Driven by decades of combat experience and a sense of duty, Tobirama Senju chose the latter, continuously throwing kunai inscribed with the Flying Thunder God Technique at the annoying Uchiha brat.

With his near-Kage-level strength, Tobirama Senju was far beyond the reach of Hiruzen Sarutobi and his six companions, whose strength had not yet reached its peak. Uchiha Muan dared not be careless in the slightest and summoned Tachibana back to the city on his way there.

His katana slashed and parried, constantly deflecting incoming kunai into the distance. At the same time, [Tenjō Ritsūzō] activated his left eye's map-gathering ability, focusing intently on collecting information from his surroundings, while his right eye's spatial teleportation ability was always ready.

(Currently, the enemy is in the open while I am in the shadows; Tobirama Senju has no idea that I possess the ability of spatial teleportation.)

In a clash of space-time teleportation ninjutsu, life and death hang in the balance in the blink of an eye. If this attempt fails, the chance of a fatal blow next time will be extremely slim.

Uchiha Muan kept his composure, intentionally controlling the landing point of the kunai as he walked towards Senju Tobirama, spouting nonsense that he didn't know if it would have any effect, attempting to distract Senju Tobirama and attract his hatred.

"Speaking of which, your Senju clan is truly pitiful, having been dragged down by a clan leader like Hashirama Senju."

"They clearly have the strength to sweep across the chaotic world, yet they insist on establishing the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. Wouldn't it have been better to just create a nation that unifies the ninja world?"

"Look, as soon as Hashirama Senju died, the Land of Lightning jumped in. How many of your Senju clan members died in this Shinobi World War?"

"When one general is incompetent, the whole army suffers."

"You, Tobirama Senju, are an idiot too. If I were the Second Hokage, I would have mobilized the entire village's ninja clan to annihilate Kumogakure with overwhelming force. This would not only have thoroughly intimidated the other ninja villages but also reduced the probability of my own clan's ninja dying."

"Look around the Senju clan territory in Konoha now, how many able-bodied men are left?"

"If your young and middle-aged members are gone, we Uchiha would be happy to help the Senju clan continue its lineage, just like Tsunade..."

"Shut up! You evil Uchiha brat!"

When the only direct descendant of the Senju clan, Tsunade, was mentioned, Tobirama Senju's expression instantly darkened, and his killing intent almost solidified into a tangible aura, making the surrounding air several degrees colder.

"Don't get so angry."

Uchiha Muan said with a forced smile, "From my personal point of view, I don't mind having the Senju as an in-law. When they have children in the future, they will be the natural rightful heirs of Konoha, and others won't even have the right to compete for them."

"The position of Hokage will only be passed down through the bloodlines of the Senju and Uchiha clans. If one can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, then one will be a born emperor of the ninja world. Such a bright future is clearly visible. Second Hokage, what do you say?"

"You Uchiha brat with your wolfish ambitions, stop daydreaming!"

Tobirama Senju calmed his agitated emotions, observed the location of the kunai, simulated a battle scene in his mind, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

(Even if you know my Flying Thunder God Technique, so what? Killing you will still only take an instant!)

Sensing Tobirama Senju's increasingly imposing aura, Uchiha Takeo was ready.
