Chapter 337: Tobirama vs. Izuna
After completing all of this, the Six Paths Sage appeared in another dimension.
The backdrop of this space was a desolate Gobi desert, filled with jagged rocks and scorched marks; the sky was gloomy, as if it might collapse at any moment.
In the center of this Gobi, two figures were crisscrossing and colliding at incredible speeds, with the light of Ninjutsu constantly exploding.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A clear shout rang out. A handsome young man with black hair, wearing Uchiha clan clothing and carrying a sharp Battle Intent, quickly formed hand seals. He spat out a huge, blazing fireball from his mouth that was hot enough to distort the air, blasting forward with a momentum that could incinerate everything.
It was exactly Uchiha Izuna.
His opponent was a middle-aged man with silver hair, red eyes, and a cold, serious expression, wearing blue armor: Senju Tobirama.
Facing the howling giant fireball, Tobirama’s eyes remained cold, showing not a hint of panic.
He formed hand seals—only four seals later.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
With his low shout, a massive amount of water surged out of thin air, condensing into a water dragon that charged toward the fireball.
That azure water dragon was like an arrow released from a bow, precisely cutting through the air against the direction of the fireball and slamming into it violently.
"Rumble!"
The blazing fireball and the condensed water dragon collided fiercely in mid-air, producing a deafening explosion.
The incompatible natures of water and fire caused a violent energy annihilation, sending up vast clouds of scalding steam that instantly enveloped the area and obscured the figures of the two combatants. Only the intense collision of Chakra and the clanging of Ninja tools could be heard continuously from within the steam!
Clearly, Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna, these mortal enemies from their past lives, had been fighting for an unknown amount of time in this special space created by the Six Paths Sage. Moreover, it seemed they had no intention of stopping; their Battle Intent was at its peak!
The Six Paths Sage floated quietly in the air at the edge of the Gobi, watching the flickering figures of the fierce battle within the steam and listening to those familiar, merciless sounds of slaughter characteristic of the Sengoku era. His face remained as calm as a still well.
He shook his head slightly; this was all within his expectations.
He had even given the two of them some Ninja tools and weapons.
In the steam, the two figures crossed paths again at a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture. Kunai and short swords collided, splashing dazzling sparks and crisp metallic clangs.
In that split second of the exchange, a very subtle yet mocking and contemptuous curve suddenly appeared at the corner of Senju Tobirama’s cold, serious face.
"Heh..."
"It seems your brother still hasn’t learned the good habit of ’leashing’ after all these years."
Tobirama’s tone was flat, but every word was like a knife:
"He let you out again, this ’mad dog’ who can’t control his temper and only knows how to bark and bite wildly."
"You bastard!"
Within the steam, Izuna’s roar exploded like a thunderclap, the fury contained within almost turning into physical flames gushing out!
The thing he could least tolerate in his life was anyone showing the slightest disrespect or insult toward his beloved elder brother, Uchiha Madara!
Tobirama’s words, comparing him to a ’mad dog,’ instantly ignited Izuna’s reason!
"Swish swish swish—!"
Several Shuriken coated in scorching flames tore through the steam like meteors, shooting at tricky angles toward the direction where Tobirama’s voice had come from!
Simultaneously, Izuna’s figure moved rapidly through the steam like a ghost, his Sharingan spinning wildly as he searched for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
However, Tobirama seemed to have predicted his actions long ago.
His figure appeared in another position as if teleporting, easily avoiding the flaming Shuriken. He even had the leisure to speak again, the mockery in his tone not diminishing at all, instead seeming even more ’pleasant’ because of Izuna’s rage:
"What? Hit a nerve, so you can only rage impotently? The Uchiha family’s capacity is only about the size of a sunflower seed."
"You guy!"
Izuna gritted his teeth, his offensive becoming even sharper, but the anger in his heart inevitably brought a hint of haste to his Moves as he rushed for success.
He knew well that Tobirama was a master of provocation, but when it involved his brother, it was truly difficult for him to remain absolutely calm.
To fight back and disturb the other’s state of mind, while dodging a sharp water blade slash from Tobirama, Izuna suddenly changed his tone, shouting in a deliberately high-pitched voice filled with malicious speculation and personal attacks:
"Senju Tobirama, you dead white-hair!"
"At your age, keeping that deadpan face all day, all you know is how to research those insidious Forbidden Jutsus!"
Izuna’s voice echoed over the Gobi, full of provocation:
"Could it be..."
He deliberately dragged out his tone,
"...that the reason you... actually like men!"
"That’s why you have no interest in women and are still all alone to this day."
"I heard your brother Hashirama already has children. What about you? Could it be you haven’t even touched a woman’s hand? Tsk tsk, how pathetic!"
This attack could be described as vicious and cunning, directly targeting the ’blank’ areas of Tobirama’s personal life.
In that era, and even now, marriage and offspring were important criteria for measuring a person’s’success’ and ’normality’.
Within the steam, the Water Release Ninjutsu Tobirama swung seemed to stagnate for a mere tenth of a second.
Clearly, Izuna’s unexpected ’personal attack,’ which lacked any Ninja grace, did indeed cause a very subtle emotional ripple in him.
It wasn’t because anything had been hit home, but because the Izuna before him and his own brother both died without ever getting married.
It seemed the opponent had completely lost his reason.
But in just an instant, Tobirama regained absolute composure.
His counterattack was even sharper and more lethal, not stopping at mere words.
"As if you ever got married."
Tobirama’s voice was cold as a blade, and simultaneously, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot!
Flying Thunder God Technique!
The next moment, he appeared without warning in the air behind Izuna’s flank.
"Instead of worrying about other people’s private lives..."
Tobirama said coldly, pressing the Water-Severing Wave toward Izuna’s back without hesitation.
"...you’d better worry about whether you, this ’mad dog,’ will be completely ’beaten back to your original form’ today!"
"Ha!"
Izuna jumped up fiercely, dodging Tobirama’s attack.
"Hehe, I was still young when I died. Now, you insidious villain who only knows how to sneak attack, I’ll show you what I’m made of!"
Izuna cursed, his hands forming seals even faster.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!"
Several ferocious fire dragons roared out of his mouth, biting toward Tobirama, who had just landed, from different angles!
"Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!"
Tobirama formed seals calmly as a huge wall of water rose from the ground, colliding with the fire dragons and exploding into a sky full of steam once again!
With blades clashing in their hands, their tongues were equally sharp as swords.
