Chapter 101. Bastard Uchiha! Tobirama Senju vs. Itachi Uchiha

Itachi saw the fully - formed ninjutsu and rushed straight towards it. He intended to deal with Orochimaru, the troublemaker, first.

Orochimaru anticipated Itachi's intention. He nimbly dodged, clearly avoiding direct combat with Itachi.

Instead, he sent the First and Second Hokage to attack Itachi, while he himself confronted the Third Hokage, his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In the confined space, the purple transparent barrier cast a gloomy and dead - like shadow over the once - blue sky. Inside the barrier, both sides held their breath, waiting for their rival's next move.

Suddenly, the Second Hokage standing opposite Itachi took action.

Under Orochimaru's orders, he had to get rid of this troublesome guy in front of him first.

Although the Second Hokage's figure seemed clumsy, his speed of forming hand seals was not slow at all. Right from the start, he used Water Release: Water Tornado.

The swirling water tornado swept up the tiles on the houses. It was truly astonishing that he could launch such a large - scale water jutsu in a place without a single drop of water. He really deserved to be called the man who was most proficient in water jutsu in history.

Itachi frowned slightly. Judging from the Second Hokage's strength when he made his move, it was not much weaker than when he was alive. Impure World Reincarnation was really a terrifying ninjutsu.

Tobirama Senju watched Itachi's flexible body shuttle back and forth in the limited space, dodging his attacks. He was dissatisfied. Even without consciousness, he still loathed the Uchiha.

In that case, he would use a more powerful move and see how Itachi could dodge it.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

The Second Hokage controlled the surging water, which was like a vast river and sea, surging towards Itachi. The huge expanse of water instantly filled the entire narrow barrier.

Itachi was about to dodge using his taijutsu when he heard a cold shout from behind.

"Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees"

Suddenly, huge towering trees appeared behind Itachi. These trees kept growing as if they had consciousness. The growing branches were like tangible ghost claws, trying to control Itachi.

Facing the overwhelming water jutsu in front and the strange wood jutsu behind, Itachi simply leaped high into the air and activated his Sharingan to observe the chakra flow of these ninjutsu.

No matter how powerful a ninjutsu was, it had weaknesses, and his Sharingan could precisely see where these fatal flaws were.

He found a weak point where the two jutsu intersected. His expression became solemn. That was the spot.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"

As Itachi puffed out his chest and took a deep breath, he sprayed flames towards the intersection of the water and wood jutsu.

Fire overcame wood, and water overcame fire. The intense collision of these three different chakra elements produced a large amount of high - heat mist, causing the temperature in the area to rise sharply. Especially near the Second Hokage, the temperature of the water vapor reached several hundred degrees Celsius.

The skin on his body was evaporating and melting at a visible rate, and his body was being shredded layer by layer like a piece of paper.

But what was even more incredible was that the lost limbs were rapidly recovering and restoring.

The restored Second Hokage's face was filled with disdain. He looked up at those pair of scarlet eyes and spoke with nothing but contempt.

"Humph! The evil Sharingan, the evil Uchiha."

Itachi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat surprised and annoyed.

He was surprised to find that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was not completely under Orochimaru's control and still retained a glimmer of his true self.

He was annoyed because the Uchiha clan had long suffered under the Second Hokage's high - handed policies. He doesn't know what the current situation of the Uchiha clan would be if it weren't for the event five years ago.

Well, today, the mastermind of the whole incident, the culprit who had made their clan suffer for decades, appeared right in front of him. Well, then, it's time to settle all scores, old and new!

The three tomoe in Itachi's pupils spun constantly, causing Tobirama Senju to feel dizzy.

[Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique]

Tobirama's body froze and he couldn't move. Itachi stepped forward and took out a Sealing Tag from his pocket. In his view, this kind of jutsu made the target immortal, so he could only seal him up first.

Just as he was about to bend down to stick the Sealing Tag on the Second Hokage, a super - high - pressure straight water jet spurted out of Tobirama's mouth. The water jet continuously moved and chased Itachi's figure.

"[Water Release: Water Severing Slash]"

Itachi dodged nimbly as if he had anticipated it.

As he had guessed, illusions like these didn't work on the dead. These dead were reincarnated by the [Impure World Reincarnation]. So he didn't have high hopes from the beginning and instead deliberately showed his weakness to Tobirama Senju.

The rival indeed took the bait!

He dodged to the side and threw several shurikens into the air.

"[Phoenix Flower Claw Red]"

He spat out flames from his mouth, enveloping the shurikens, which then whirled rapidly towards the nearby Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama instinctively tried to defend and quickly changed the attack direction of the Water Severing Slash, trying to knock down all the shurikens wrapped in flames.

However, the shurikens Itachi launched moved in an irregular trajectory. Tobirama only managed to deflect two or three of them, and the rest whirled towards his body.

Tobirama looked at his pierced chest without feeling any pain, only extreme annoyance.

"Damn Uchiha."

"Who would have thought that after so many years of death, the legendary Second Hokage still can't let go of the Uchiha clan. Thank you so much for your concern. We've been doing great all these years."

The words "doing great" were practically squeezed out of Itachi's gritted teeth. How could they not be angry when their clan had suffered decades of suppression because of this man's policy!

"However, now the Uchiha clan has reached an unprecedented level of unity. This has enabled us to gain the trust of the village and the Hokage and have become a big family. Your schemes have failed, Second Hokage. Take a good journey in the afterlife, old man!"

As he said this, under the Second Hokage's furious face, he was about to stick the charm on Tobirama when suddenly, branches grew rapidly from the ground and pierced through his abdomen.

Blood dripped down the branches. Itachi covered his injured abdomen and quickly distanced himself from the Second Hokage.

He turned to look into the dense forest and saw the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, standing there calmly and composedly.

Covering the slightly painful wound, Itachi didn't let his guard down. He had noticed earlier that the First Hokage had been watching from the dense forest. The First Hokage had no intention of coming forward to join the Second Hokage in dealing with him. He just stood there motionless.

Because of this, Itachi became even more vigilant. He knew that the First Hokage was proficient in Wood Release, so he deliberately paid attention to the flow of Chakra. However, he didn't expect that the branches grew so fast, much faster than he had anticipated.

Watching Itachi frantically retreat, the Second Hokage showed a smug smile. He opened his mouth and spat out water needles, hitting Itachi without a miss.

"Water Release: Heavenly Weeping"

"Ah!"
