Good Luck in Your Next Battles

Hidden Leaf Village.

Above the ruins, a figure stood proudly. The firelight that had not yet been extinguished shone on him, making the pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes appear dim and bright.

At his feet, Sarutobi Sasuke lay limply on the ground, without a breath, and Enma also turned into white smoke and dissipated because of the death of the Summoning Contract master.

"Fire Core?" Hashirama Senju's face was stern, his eyes filled with monstrous anger, "Why did you do this?"

Shin'yu scratched his head rather troubled, "Ah, how should I answer you? It can be said that it was a whim, or it can be said that it was premeditated, in short... I just wanted to do it..."

"Brother, he is not Uchiha Fire Core." Tobirama stepped forward, his face solemn.

The Fire Core in his memory was a member of the Uchiha clan, but he was humble and easy-going, and he always agreed with Hidden Leaf Village's guidelines. Every time, he coordinated perfectly, which is why Hidden Leaf Village was willing to support him to become the clan leader.

But the eyes of the person in front of him... were too strange, too evil, and completely different from the original gentle and modest Fire Core.

"I am... Uchiha Shin'yu, the blade of Uchiha Madara."

Shin'yu controlled Fire Core's body and announced his name.

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The shadows of the four great ninja villages looked at each other, and everyone could see the tremor in each other's eyes.

The Second Earth Shadow's eyes were sharp, and he was about to step forward, but he found that Gengetsu Hozuki, who was still beside him just now, had retreated behind everyone at some point, sneaking around.

Hashirama immediately stepped forward, his eyes like torches, "Is Madara still alive?"

Shin'yu showed a sly smile, "Guess?"

"Am I a kid! Still guessing?" Hashirama glared and said anxiously, "Where is he now? Did he do the Nine-Tails thing? Did Madara come up with the idea of you attacking Hidden Leaf Village for no reason?"

"Lord Hashirama, you have a few too many questions, but fortunately I know all of them, and the answer to every question is here." Shin'yu raised his hand and pointed to his head, "But, I refuse to answer."

Tobirama stared at Shin'yu, or rather at Uchiha Fire Core's face, his mind racing.

Whether it is visual feedback or Chakra's detection feedback, the person in front of me must be Uchiha Fire Core himself, but what exactly turned him into someone else's puppet?

Mangekyo Sharingan's Genjutsu? No! No Genjutsu can manipulate a puppet so exquisitely, even the expression is no different from the real body, then there is only one possibility.

"One of the forbidden techniques taken away by Shin'yu 11 years ago... the Spiritualization Technique!"

Not only that, the principle of the Spiritualization Technique is to separate the spirit from the body and turn it into a spirit body, possessing the enemy. If the spiritual power is stronger than the opponent, the enemy's body can be directly controlled, but after all, there is the original owner's soul in the body. Under the interference and restraint of the native soul, the caster has to constantly fight for the body's sovereignty, even if he controls it, he will not be so agile and free...

"Unless... the Spiritualization Technique has a strange reaction with the Uchiha's spiritual power, giving the caster's spirit body the power to manipulate the target's soul at will..."

As he deduced, Tobirama's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his face was so gloomy that water was about to drip.

"Since it is the Spiritualization Technique..." He put his hands behind his back and made a few gestures silently.

Around, a few Anbu Ninja from the barrier team immediately understood and quietly left the field under the cover of night.

"Okay, the reminiscing session is over."

Shin'yu clapped his hands, "I'm here to declare war, I only represent myself, and declare war on you Five Great Nations, five shadows, at the same time!"

"Hmph, what arrogance."

Raikage A slowly took off his jacket, revealing his dark and strong muscles, "Lord Hashirama, let me kill this scoundrel for you."

Besides Gengetsu Hozuki, the other Shadows were also eager to make a move.

"Hold on!" Hashirama raised his hand and pressed down, "Since it's a declaration of war, why not use your own body and hide your head and tail? Is that what Madara taught you?"

"Lord Hashirama, you are not worthy to lecture me." Shin'yu glanced around at the crowd, word by word, his tone low: "I wish you good luck in the upcoming battle, now, the war begins."

As he released his hand, several Cat House's special smoke bombs burst instantly, and a huge amount of white smoke engulfed everyone in an instant.

Hashirama's expression froze, and he waved his hand!

"Brother!" Tobirama shouted.

"Wind Release: Air Current Wild Dance." The Second Earth Shadow took action, and a whirlwind swept past, blowing away all the white smoke, revealing the situation inside.

A huge vine grew from the ruins, tightly binding Uchiha Fire Core's body, dozens of wooden thorns hung above his head, ready to go, while Fire Core's eyes were tightly closed, completely losing consciousness.

"Is it that easy?" The Raikage stretched his shoulders with some lack of interest, "Is Uchiha Madara's edge... this kind of strength?"

"Don't be careless, this kid is very difficult to deal with." Tobirama reminded in a deep voice, the solemnity on his face not diminishing.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice rang out from behind the crowd.

"Steam Impeding Danger: Might!"

Tobirama turned his head in horror, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints!

The center of the field was instantly detonated, and gushing heat blew out in all directions, and the Hidden Leaf Academy, which had already been bombed into ruins, was directly razed to the ground! This was a water vapor explosion launched by condensing most of Gengetsu's Chakra, and billowing white mist rose into the sky. Except for Hashirama, everyone present was blown away.

"Gen! Get! Su! Ho! Zuki!"

The Second Earth Shadow's eyes were tearing apart. He noticed Gengetsu's abnormality the moment before the water vapor explosion. His body flew out subconsciously, but Ōnoki was blown away by the explosion and fell into a coma.

He tried his best to stabilize his body in mid-air, and clasped his palms together.

"Lord Earth Shadow! Don't be impulsive, Lord Water Shadow is being controlled!" Tobirama shouted quickly.

However, his urgent cry was insignificant in the face of Mu's eyes full of killing intent. Seeing a little white light light up in front of Mu, the light twisted, and a well-proportioned translucent cylinder quickly formed in his hands.

"Calm down!"

A huge wooden dragon broke out of the ground and bit at Mu in mid-air.

"Tch." Mu snorted coldly, and had no choice but to interrupt the Ninjutsu, lightly avoiding the wooden dragon.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was fighting, Gengetsu kept making hand seals, not only summoning his Great Clam, but also the Clown Clone reappeared in a hazy mist.

At this moment, everyone present could not see, as if they were in an abyss, and all light was drawn away.

"Genjutsu: Dark Travel Technique!" Hashirama wandered in the darkness, easily finding Gengetsu's true body. It turned out that the Gengetsu just now was just a fake body made with a mirage.

"Uchiha Shin'yu, the farce should be over!" Hashirama quickly formed a hand seal and pressed one hand towards Gengetsu's forehead: "Kakuan Entering the City with Helping Hands!"

A "seat" character composed entirely of techniques emerged from his palm. This move can suppress the soul and seal Chakra, and even Tailed Beasts can be suppressed.

Gengetsu shook his body, and his eyes immediately regained clarity. He stared at the big hand coming towards him, and let out a strange cry of "Aolao".

His head quickly turned into water, automatically diverting to both sides, and Hashirama slapped empty air.

Gengetsu took two steps back in shock, sat down on the ground, and gasped for breath.

"Huff, huff, what happened?"

He looked at his hands, "My body, why did it suddenly consume so much chakra, water, and oil?"

"Have you returned to normal?" Hashirama explained, "You were controlled by a spiritual body, truly troublesome. I didn't expect this Shin'yu's mental strength to be this strong."

"Possessed?" Gengetsu cursed inwardly.

"First, dispel your water-oil clone and Summoning Beast," Hashirama said.

Gengetsu nodded weakly, raising his hands to prepare to undo the seals. In reality, the Clown Clone had already stopped moving when he regained his senses.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

Ōnoki floated in mid-air, like a god judging all living beings. The cylinder that made everyone present palpitate with fear appeared once again!

It was like a miniature barrier, with no high temperature on its surface, nor any fluctuations. It just floated quietly in mid-air, with a strange light shining at its center.
