Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Tobirama Senju never expected that, because of Mito Uzumaki's misinterpretation of a conspiracy theory, which made Aozumi suspicious and cautious, he would actually cultivate his art style to be different from all other ninjas.

If Uchiha Izuna had possessed that demonic physical body back then…

Tobirama Senju would never attempt to kill him with the Flying Thunder God Slash at first sight; he feared Izuna Uchiha would use his pectoral muscles to trap the blade and then subject him to the ultimate humiliation…

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but wonder, if Aokiji continued to grow stronger, who could possibly stop him?

Perhaps only the Sage of Six Paths could do that…

"I know, Tobirama, I can feel your concern..."

Qingshui sighed: "But you know what? I genuinely feel that this is not enough."

What Tobirama Senju didn't know was that Aozumi's words weren't meant to mess with his mind, but rather were a direct comparison to Madara Uchiha, who had obtained the power of all things in the universe!

Madara Uchiha in his Edo Tensei form was sealed by Myojinmon and suppressed, unable to move.

That's alright, after all, Sage Art: Myojinmon is a technique that Hashirama Senju used to suppress the Ten-Tails, and its power is extremely strong.

However, Madara Uchiha, having obtained a physical body, broke through the power of the Myojin Gate directly despite being blind, thanks to the strength of his physical body!

The Rinnegan is merely one manifestation of the power of all things in the universe; it is not the whole picture.

Even the clones summoned by Madara Uchiha using Limbo: Border Jail possess the ability to subdue tailed beasts using taijutsu.

The true pinnacle of the ninja world lies in both physical and mental prowess...

In Qing Shui's view, he still has a lot to do, and he has much room for improvement if he wants to be able to subdue the woman on the moon in the future.

Not only ordinary people in the ninja world, but also the Otsutsuki clan from beyond this planet…

Qingshui would never consider having the chakra reincarnations of the Sage of Six Paths' two children, or this old man hiding in the Pure Land, become saviors...

A counterattack against the Otsutsuki might be possible if the power of the entire planet were gathered.

In Qing Shui's view, although Kaguya Otsutsuki was a woman with a dull mind, she still had basic information. For example, her idea of ​​creating the White Emperor to fight the Otsutsuki clan must have had its own logic.

However, it shouldn't be about turning all sentient Earth life into mindless White Zetsu, but rather about harnessing the power of the entire planet…

Perhaps, it could be like the Spirit Bomb?

Qing Shui gazed at the moon, which was faintly visible in the daytime light, and felt an even stronger urge to talk to the people inside.

What were you thinking back then?

What kind of strength does the Otsutsuki clan possess?

So much so that even when Tobirama Senju kept chattering in Aomine's ear, Aomine didn't really want to pay attention, finding his concern rather noisy.

Just then, an electronic voice rang out, breaking Qing Shui's thoughts.

[From your lane opponent, the Third Mizukage, you have received the inheritance (theoretical) of Hozuki Gengetsu!]

【Hozuki Gengetsu's Legacy (Theory)】: You will learn the principles and prerequisites of Hozuki Gengetsu's series of ninjutsu. Due to the talent limitations of this target, you will need to learn and master it on your own.

The Third Mizukage is still alive after all…

Although Qing Shui's punches are powerful, killing a Kage-level character with a single blow is still a bit of an exaggeration.

In particular, the Third Mizukage mastered the art of water transformation, making him virtually immortal in the ocean and unlikely to die so easily…

Beneath the deep sea, before the clear water.

A massive whirlpool roared up, and the ocean currents seemed to come alive, forming a giant human shape…

On the head of this water giant, the half-body of the Third Mizukage stood atop it, coldly watching Qing Shui.

"State your name, you strange brat!"

The Third Mizukage's eyes were filled with resentment as he spoke in a deep voice:

"I never expected Konoha to be hiding such a monster as you, and even the Kaguya clan's Corpse Bone Pulse. Did you use it for human experimentation and modification?!"

"And that extremely insidious bomb! This village, which was taken over by Tobirama Senju, should have been wiped out long ago!"

After experiencing the power of Tobirama No. 1, the Third Mizukage felt a familiar style.

If he hadn't been certain that Tobirama Senju was dead, he would have almost believed that Tobirama had been resurrected to personally design despicable forbidden techniques and new ninja tools to continue the war...

"What did Tobirama Senju do to you?"

Qingshui frowned and retorted with dissatisfaction, "To deal with invaders, we need to combine the power of the Second Hokage with the Uchiha's eye techniques to make you feel pain."

"You don't really think that all Konoha ninjas are like the First Hokage, who, even with overwhelming power, would sit down and negotiate calmly with the weak, right?"

The Third Mizukage's expression froze for a moment, but the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

Qingshui is right. In this war they initiated, Konoha's counterattacks are always justified…

He just didn't expect that Tobirama Senju's style of warfare would be inherited by a young man from the Uchiha clan, and even carried forward!

This is too dangerous...

The Third Mizukage couldn't help but recall what Onoki had emphasized—

For Konoha, the next God of Shinobi will most likely not be the easy-going Hashirama Senju, but rather Madara Uchiha…

After all, the mindset of the strong is basically the same, and the weak only need to submit. There are almost no people like Hashirama Senju who are so idealistic.

"Kid, in this sea, my power is limitless..."

The Third Mizukage looked down at Qingshui from his high vantage point and said coldly:

"With the Water Transformation Technique combined with the Water Transformation Healing Technique, I am not only immune to physical attacks, but even if you mix Lightning Release into your ninjutsu, I can quickly heal my injuries."

"My Water Release technique draws upon the ocean, requiring minimal chakra yet possessing immense power. Even if you manage to steal Hozuki's secret Water Gun Technique, this Water Transformation Technique is the culmination of decades of my dedicated effort. Even if you can imitate it, you could never achieve the same level of proficiency as me!"

Qingshui silently watched the incessant chatter of the Third Mizukage and shook his head:

"So you're saying you didn't suffer any fatal injuries, and were just hiding underwater waiting for my condition to subside?"

"You used those Hidden Mist ninja as cannon fodder, didn't you...?"

"Also, was this habit of revealing all your abilities taught to you by the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu? If you still have a chance, remember to change it; it's not a good habit."

The Third Mizukage sneered, recalling the punch he received from Aoshimizu, his eyes filled with even more apprehension.

That punch contained power, even more terrifying than the Three-Tails he had faced before, as if he had been struck by the full force of a tailed beast…

If it weren't for the water transformation technique's mitigation of physical attacks and the constant supply of water in the ocean, he would have truly been killed by Chu Jian.

But as Tobirama Senju said, the Third Mizukage did not believe that the human body could bear that power for a long time; it was just a temporary burst of power that would eventually break free.

And just as he guessed, Qing Shui really did not continue to maintain that state!

So, he appeared.

"Kid, you don't need to stir things up here..."

The Third Mizukage said coldly, "I am the Mizukage of Kirigakure. Faced with a powerful enemy like you, all they can do is buy me time. This is their fate."

"As long as I kill you, the death of a Hidden Mist ninja is worthwhile!"

Although neither of them spoke loudly.

However, both the other Hidden Mist ninjas and Kisame, Hyuga Hizashi, and others on land a hundred meters away heard these words.

Hyuga Hizashi and the other Root ninjas frowned, some even wanting to spit on the ground.

To be able to shamelessly say that one's own ninjas are used as cannon fodder, even Shimura Danzo is not as good as him!

Back then, Shimura Danzo at least had some shame; he used the Will of Fire as an excuse, instead of being so blatant…

Kisame and the others shook their heads speechlessly, their last shred of affection for Kirigakure dissipating with the sea breeze.

The Third Mizukage raised his hands high, merging his chakra into the ocean—

Pulled by the water giant he formed, the sea surface within hundreds of meters seemed to riot, unleashing countless water cannons that bombarded Qing Shui relentlessly!

Qingshui frowned, marveling at the Third Mizukage's combat prowess on the ocean; it was truly remarkable.

Hozuki Suigetsu, Sasuke's subordinate, possessed the physical strength to briefly contend with the Eight-Tails when he merged into the lake, and the vitality to survive a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Ball.

The Third Mizukage, being a Kage-level figure, also incorporated the ocean into his abilities, possessing even stronger water transformation techniques…

Fighting here is indeed his natural home ground.

"Qingshui, let's retreat!"

Tobirama Senju said in a deep voice, "Once he leaves the ocean, he is nothing. The victory of this war has been achieved!"

"The Hidden Mist Village absolutely cannot muster the strength to fight against Konoha again. With such heavy damage, the Third Mizukage alone is enough to keep that fool busy trying to appease the people. There's no need to fight him head-on in his advantageous terrain..."

The Third Mizukage in this state is indeed extremely troublesome.

Tobirama Senju pondered that even facing the Third Mizukage in the ocean would be a difficult task.

However, the problem is that it only happens in the ocean. Once on land, a single Flying Thunder God Slash combined with a sealing technique would kill him!

However, in the vast body of water, sealing techniques are not effective at capturing his physical form, and even lightning techniques are difficult to use effectively.

The vast ocean will greatly weaken the effect of Lightning Release.

"Tobirama, you once said that you had studied Hozuki Gengetsu's Water Release techniques, right?"

While nimbly dodging the cannon fire, Aozumi asked Tobirama Senju, "Tell me, I'll try to master it and then deal with him..."

"I read in the records that in the past, when Kirigakure elected a Mizukage, it was based solely on individual strength; only the strongest could become the Mizukage."

"This guy was from the same era as Hozuki Gengetsu, which means even in the environment of Kirigakure, he never beat the Second Mizukage..."

Tobirama Senju nodded, then hesitated before saying, "That's right..."

However, Hozuki Gengetsu's techniques are extremely complex. Even Tobirama Senju could only say that he had grasped part of the mechanics, and he was still far from being able to put them into practice!

After pondering for a moment, Tobirama Senju sighed and honestly told Aokiji the principles of ninjutsu he had analyzed.

He knew he couldn't win against Qingshui...

Moreover, given that Aoshui possesses such a physical body, is proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique, and also masters sealing techniques and the Totsuka Blade, Tobirama Senju believed that Aoshui would be fine even if he were ambushed by the Six Paths Treasures like Tobirama Senju.

Moreover, even in the worst-case scenario, Qing Shui still has one last trump card—

That's him!

This trump card is something no enemy will ever know…

Since that's the case, if Qingshui wants to act recklessly, then let him be.
