Kinkaku and Ginkaku led eighteen elite Kumogakure ninjas to arrive.
Upon seeing Tobirama alone, Ginkaku couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you the only one left, Second Hokage? Where are your guards? They wouldn't abandon you and run away, would they?"
Tobirama looked at Ginkaku and the others indifferently, without answering.
In particular, the half-human-tall orange ninja tool, the Amber Purifying Pot (Kohaku no Jōhei), carried on Ginkaku's back, had a powerful sealing ability. As long as he responded to the other party, he would be sealed into the bottle.
At the previous peace talk meeting, Ginkaku used that thing to plot against the Second Raikage, causing him to respond unintentionally, and then was easily sucked into the Amber Purifying Pot, and finally brutally killed.
In terms of strength, the Second Raikage could withstand Kinkaku and Ginkaku, otherwise, he wouldn't have inherited the position of Raikage.
Even if they fought directly, Kinkaku and Ginkaku might not be able to defeat the Raikage.
Then he shamelessly borrowed the Rikudo Sennin Ninja Tool for a sneak attack. Tobirama was also seriously injured by Ginkaku's sneak attack at the peace conference.
It was outrageous that he could lead Hiruzen and the others out of the Kumogakure Village hinterland unscathed.
But the Rikudo Sennin Ninja Tool is indeed strange, and without enough information, it's very easy to be killed at first sight!
Therefore, when Tobirama retreated far away, he tried his best to avoid close combat with the pursuing forces of Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
It all depended on the large number of shadow clones and Edo Tensei that had to be blocked and delayed. This consumed a lot of chakra and was almost at its limit.
Seeing Tobirama not answering, Kinkaku also knew that the other party was wary of the Amber Purifying Pot and wouldn't speak easily.
So he said to Ginkaku: "Don't be stupid. This guy wants to hold us back alone and give the other Konoha ninjas time to escape."
Ginkaku continued to mock: "Hahaha, is this the Hokage? It's so stupid to risk your own life to protect your subordinates! Sure enough, without Senju Hashirama, Konoha would be a pile of garbage!"
"Ginkaku, stop talking nonsense. I'll deal with Senju Tobirama, he's seriously injured. If you chase after the other Konoha ninjas, don't let them bring back the news that the peace talks have failed!"
"No need to rush, it's not too late to kill Senju Tobirama first and then chase after them."
Killing the Raikage and the Hokage in succession. This is a good opportunity to leave a name in the ninja world, and Ginkaku didn't want to miss it.
What's more, as long as Tobirama is killed, the remaining Konoha ninjas will not be afraid.
"Okay, let's work together to kill this guy first!"
Kinkaku agreed to Ginkaku's proposal and immediately took action, waving his Banana Palm Fan (Bashōsen) towards Tobirama not far away.
Banana Palm Fan is one of the Rikudo Sennin Ninja Tools, it can ignore its own chakra nature and release weapons that transform the five natures of fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth at the same time, but it requires a large amount of its own chakra.
"Fire Scroll!"
A fire wind tens of meters long shot out and rushed towards Tobirama.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Tobirama formed a seal and used the technique of spewing water like a waterfall from his mouth forward, forming a circular rotating water wall.
The defense with almost no blind spots successfully blocked the fire scroll released by Ginkaku.
Ginkaku continued to increase his output and released even more ferocious attacks.
Tobirama's water ninjutsu is also famous in the ninja world, but with his current chakra, how long can he maintain it?
Sure enough, it only took a few seconds.
The water formation wall between Tobirama became smaller and smaller until it was completely submerged and swallowed by the flames.
However, he who was inside it immediately exploded and turned into a white ball of mist.
"No, it's another shadow clone!"
Kinkaku and the others suddenly realized it, but it was obviously too late.
Tobirama's real form appeared behind everyone.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
A high-pressure linear water column was spewed from Tobirama's mouth, like a sharp blade, with extremely high destructive power, directly sweeping horizontally across the crowd of Kumogakure ninjas.
This advanced water ninjutsu can penetrate the roots of sacred trees, and it is not something that ordinary ninjas can resist.
All the Kumogakure ninjas hurriedly dodged.
Ginkaku immediately jumped and escaped the disaster.
Silver Horn used the Seven-Star Sword (Shichiseiken) to block it, but was also thrown far away.
However, the other Kumogakure ninjas were not so lucky. There were still nine ordinary jounin who couldn't react in time and were instantly cut in half.
Almost half of the Kumogakure pursuit forces suffered casualties in an instant, which could be said to be very heavy.
Seeing this, Tobirama was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he overestimated these elite Kumogakure ninjas? Looking at this level, if he led Hiruzen and the others to defend and fight to the death, they might not be able to turn defeat into victory!
But Tobirama knew very well that he couldn't gamble.
If the bet was successful, even if his side could counterattack and kill the Kumogakure pursuit forces, there would definitely be many casualties.
If the bet was lost, then the Second Hokage and the next generation of Konoha's young backbone would all be killed in the Land of Lightning.
No one would return alive to report the news.
In this case, Konoha wouldn't even know that the peace negotiations had failed, and would only think that they were lost or still visiting Kumogakure Village.
There is even a possibility of being wiped out by a surprise attack from Kumogakure without any preparation.
In any case, Tobirama couldn't take this risk, he couldn't let the Village of Konoha, which his brother entrusted to him, be destroyed by his own hands!
Forget it, keep up the good work!
Could it be that he could defeat these Kumogakure ninjas alone? Be careful of Kinkaku and Ginkaku!
It's a pity that he doesn't have much chakra left, otherwise, he would use a large-scale [Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave] to engulf all the enemies and eliminate most of the Kumogakure ninjas except Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
But it's not a big deal, he also set other traps.
As everyone dispersed, dozens of explosive talismans placed around Tobirama exploded one after another, and a large amount of smoke covered the entire battlefield, blocking the enemy's perception.
Hiraishin no Jutsu– Activate!
Tobirama drew his katana and moved quickly with the help of a handful of 'Hiraishin no Jutsu Kunai' placed around him.
He was like a ghost on the battlefield.
In a few breaths, he had moved more than ten times and easily slashed seven Kumogakure Jonin to death.
His Hiraishin no Jutsu is only the first version, and it is far less useful compared to the one improved by Minato, just like Edo Tensei, which is only the first version.
The difference in short-distance teleportation is not that big, but moving people over long distances will consume a lot of chakra, which he can't afford at this time.
Otherwise, he would teleport back to Konoha with his guards.
Even if he could take one or two, Tobirama wouldn't be able to do this. His palms and the backs of his hands were all flesh. How could he, who inherited the Will of Fire, escape with just a few students?
❀❀❀
Seeing Tobirama, who was seriously injured but could still kill Kumogakure Jonin, Kinkaku and Ginkaku also felt anxious.
The Kumogakure ninjas they brought were their only elite supporters. If they all died, how could they rule Kumogakure Village when they returned?
Ginkaku exploded, urging the Banana Palm Fan with all his strength.
"Wind Wings!"
"Lightning Arc!"
A strong wind swept away the surrounding smoke and dust, revealing Tobirama's figure.
Immediately afterwards, a large-scale lightning element ninjutsu spread from the Banana Palm Fan, covering tens of meters around it, even including the remaining Kumogakure ninjas.
Tobirama, who had just landed, never imagined that Ginkaku could be so cruel, launching a massive attack without caring about his teammates.
He was also directly hit by the attack, and his whole body was paralyzed, making it difficult to dodge.
Seeing this, Ginkaku was very happy and quickly threw the Golden Canopy Rope (Kōkinjō) wrapped around his left arm, brushing against Tobirama's arm in the distance.
Golden Canopy Rope: One of the Rikudo Sennin Ninja Tools. The person who touches the Golden Canopy Rope will vomit out the soul words from the words they usually use.
Tobirama groaned silently, then uttered a string of transparent words from his mouth.
In the distance, Kinkaku also relied on his strong bloodline and physique to break free from the lightning element paralysis first, and threw the Seven Star Sword in his hand with all his strength.
The Seven Star Sword didn't hit Tobirama, but cut the 'soul words' vomited by Tobirama.
"HAHAHA!"
"Senju Tobirama, you're dead!"
"Include that!"
Kinkaku laughed loudly, activating the Amber Purifying Pot he was holding, and quickly inhaled the severed soul words.
At the same time, Tobirama's soul words were imprinted on the Seven Star Sword stuck in the ground in the distance: 'Uchiha'.
"???"
Kinkaku looked at the Seven Star Sword and felt curious.
"Weirdness."
"You are the Second Hokage, the younger brother of Senju Hashirama, and your most common catchphrase is not your older brother, but Uchiha?"
"How much do you love the Uchiha?"
Tobirama's face turned black, and he felt an unprecedented humiliation!
