Chapter 97: Time to End This...

This is precisely Senju Tobirama's combat style:

Cold, ruthless, decisive, extreme, using any means necessary at any cost!

That is how Uchiha Izuna died at his hands.

Even the mighty Uchiha Madara, whom he hated most, had to acknowledge this man's fearsome abilities!

At this moment—

Senju Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport in, and with his Edo Tensei body, he was personally unleashing the other Forbidden Technique he created:

"Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, watching, was both shocked and terrified.

"All Anbu and the Sarutobi clan, retreat at once—get out of the blast zone!"

As the Second Hokage's disciple, he understood better than anyone how terrifying this move could be!

Right now, aside from Chiyu singlehandedly fighting three opponents, Fugaku was also locked in a battle against Koharu, while the Uchiha clan battled with the Anbu and Sarutobi clan. But hearing Hiruzen's warning, both sides sensed a terrible danger. They simultaneously halted their fights and frantically fled the explosion area!

In an instant—

Boom—

Rumble—Rumble—Rumble!

Rumble—Rumble—Rumble!

The Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags detonated!

One tag summoning another, those tags chaining into more tags, continuing in a frenzied cycle of blasts as though they would never end. This turned the area within hundreds of meters into a world of incessant explosions!

Towering flames shot skyward, briefly illuminating the entire night under that blood-red moon!

The thunderous roars were unending; it was as if the entire Konoha Village shook and quaked!

Everyone looked on, dumbstruck by this scene, hearts pounding.

"That—that's the Second Hokage's Forbidden Technique?!"

"He can trigger never-ending explosions?!"

"How can that be?!"

"So this is the Second Hokage's true power—terrifying!"

Meanwhile, the Uchiha were all deeply worried.

"Captain!"

"Chiyu-sama—watch out!"

"Oh no, what kind of technique is this…?!"

In the moment the explosions started—even Senju Tobirama's Edo-Tensei body was blown to pieces. Yet his half-shattered mouth still wore that cold smirk.

"The Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags are indeed used in tandem with Edo Tensei.

It's just that using my own body for it is a first…"

Soon, the pieces of his body, carried in by drifting ash and dust, began reassembling themselves.

Meanwhile, Chiyu and his Susanoo had been fully engulfed in the blazing flashes of the explosions…

No one could tell how long it lasted.

Finally, the roar of detonations gradually died down.

The entire ground had turned into scorched earth and wreckage. Enormous craters pockmarked the area, everything in chaos!

And yet…

As the flames dimmed and the dust dispersed, one could see Chiyu's Susanoo indeed suffered severe destruction—large portions damaged, even one arm blasted to fragments.

But he himself remained completely unscathed!

Senju Tobirama was alarmed and knitted his brows.

"So it's true: that Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan plus the Fourth Stage of Susanoo… The defensive power is even more astonishing than I expected."

But just then, Chiyu actively dispelled Susanoo's absolute defense.

"Senju Tobirama, your moves were identified through the Flying Thunder God markings,"

"But if you think that's enough to kill me, you're not qualified."

Tobirama gave a cold snort.

"You've dismissed Susanoo on your own—worried I'd left Flying Thunder God markers on it?"

Chiyu shook his head.

"You're mistaken. I only want to switch to a different style of fighting."

In a flash—

Humm—

A mighty surge of chakra erupted from Chiyu's body, radiating dazzling arcs of lightning that lit up the bloody night sky!

His head of black hair rose on end, crackling with arcs of electric current. The entire figure was wrapped in white-hot lightning— the strongest Lightning Release armor!

Tobirama frowned.

"So that's the Lightning Strike Armour technique, refined to its highest level."

"You want to compete in speed? Or rely on the strongest defense to withstand my surprise attacks..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly warned:

"Second Hokage-sama, apart from that, please be extremely wary of his Mangekyō Sharingan—especially the right eye's technique, Magatsuhi no Kami. It can directly judge and burn the enemy's soul with Karmic Flames. Even an Edo Tensei body can't defend against that!"

Tobirama replied calmly:

"Don't worry. I've battled the Uchiha clan my whole life—I know how to handle the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled. At least that part relieved him. Indeed, no one understood the Uchiha better than his teacher.

He had paid a high price in dealing with Orochimaru—giving away the Village's Scroll of Seal—just to obtain Tobirama's support.

But as long as they could defeat Chiyu and exterminate the Uchiha, any cost was worth it!

"All right," Tobirama said. "No more wasted words—come!"

He and Hiruzen, master and disciple, launched another joint strike:

Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave (Tobirama)

Suddenly, massive torrents of water spewed from his mouth, flooding the entire destroyed plaza in front of the Hokage Building.

All ninja had to stand upon the water's surface to continue fighting.

But Chiyu could see through it at once: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave was just a distraction. Tobirama's real kill move lay in the watery depths…

"Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"

At once, the watery zone beneath Chiyu's feet lit up with more of those explosive tags, chain-detonating in ceaseless blasts!

Rumble—Rumble—Rumble!

The violent eruptions kicked up billowing waves; flame soared upward as water frothed everywhere in a chaotic swirl!

But…

"Mm?"

Tobirama had keen sensory skills. He realized in a flash that he had been tricked again.

"That was a Lightning Release Shadow Clone?!"

"And the real body is—"

Chiyu's figure abruptly manifested right before Tobirama's eyes.

"Not good—!"

Chiyu said coldly:

"Though you haven't used your full power either, it seems you're nothing special, Tobirama…"

"Time to end this."

His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan flared with savage brilliance.

The right eye's blood-red six-point star spun rapidly.

"Magatsuhi no Kami!"
