Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Duang!!!"

On the distant battlefield of Yanyin, a loud clanging sound nearly shattered everyone's eardrums, and the battlefield instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the figure that suddenly appeared from the sky, dragging a large iron chain in one hand and holding a person with the other. The figure was dark black with a dark red tinge.

"This bastard's hard..."

Ōnoki, who was lying on his son's back, was silent for a moment before making a comment.

"Wow! Tobirama, what is this brat made of? He's so tough! I wonder if Tsunade can handle him..."

The old man with the thousand hands stared at the dark red figure with eyes gleaming as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Big brother, be serious..."

Even the Second Master Senju was dumbfounded. He hadn't seen this little rascal become so tough in decades, using his body to withstand the Uchiha's ancestral greatsword...

"Idol! Idol! I've finally seen you again! Ever since that hasty parting, I thought it would be forever. I never imagined I'd see you again! Do you know how I've spent these past decades? I've missed you so much... ugh! I've missed you to death!!!"

With a flick of his wrist, Masato flung the Second Raikage, Hozuki Gengetsu, and the other two over to Nawaki and the others, and then threw the Third Raikage over as well. Afterwards, he hugged the 40-meter-long Uchiha ancestral greatsword on his body, his eyes filled with tears, his voice trembling with sobs, and he was extremely excited, looking like a die-hard fan meeting his idol.

"....(⊙_⊙)?"

This scene not only left the Iwa ninja kids dumbfounded, but also Senju elders were stunned. Did this guy have such a deep relationship with Uchiha Madara?

"...It's you again, you brat! Your arrival just happened to be the perfect excuse for me to come looking for you. Die! ╬?д?╬?"

"Ta-da! Ta-da...!"

Madara, who was still in a state of rage, saw this little bastard who had shortened his life by a few years and then slandered him by advertising for him. His raging anger intensified, and he forgot about Hashirama Senju on the field. The five ancestral giants unleashed a barrage of slashes at Masato with the forty-meter-long Uchiha Greatsword.

The long-absent, aristocratic clang of metal striking metal echoed across the battlefield, lingering for a long time...

1183. Madara: This mouth is truly poisonous.

Not only did Ban Ye curse, but he also unleashed a flurry of blows with his broadsword, determined to keep hacking until the end of time. This little bastard had been constantly advertising for him and defaming his reputation for years, even shortening his lifespan by several years. He had sworn to settle the score with this little bastard, and now that the opportunity had come, it wouldn't be so easy to get his hands on him.

"This brat wants to date Tsuna, his idol is definitely Madara..."

Now, the old man with a thousand hands squatted on the ground and drew circles, looking like a unhappy child.

You're trying to seduce my granddaughter, and you don't even idolize me?

Is this even human?

"Stop talking nonsense, brother, hurry up and get him! Can't you see this brat is being hacked to pieces? If this keeps up, your grandson-in-law is going to be dead..."

Seeing his elder brother start acting silly again, Second Master Qian Shou said with a dark face.

"Attack! Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

"A Buddha appears on the crown!"

Second Master Qian Shou's words were really useful. That's right, he's my grandson-in-law after all. You're treating my grandson-in-law like a piece of iron to be cut. That's really disrespectful to me.

Even the closest of buddies will get beaten up...

"Boom boom boom...!"

A colossal Buddha with countless arms burst forth from beneath his feet, followed by a barrage of fists that relentlessly pounded the five ancestral giants who were hacking and slashing, each punch landing with a resounding thud and obliterating the other four ancestral giant clones.

"Wow...wow, this is amazing! This is like gods fighting..."

Even Onoki, the secretary-general with an IQ of 95, who was used to remaining calm at all times, and Tsuchiki, the chief strategist of Iwagakure, were so shocked by such a brutal and exaggerated scene that their mouths were agape. This was completely beyond the scope of normal ninja fighting.

"Pah! Are you kidding me? Can't you aim carefully before you start hitting? You're even hitting your own teammates...(▼へ▼メ)"

As Shinto spat out the dirt from his mouth, he emerged from the dust and unleashed a torrent of spittle at Senju-sama.

That bastard! If this old guy weren't Tsunade's grandfather, and a blood relative at that, he would have drawn his sword and attacked.

I was taking all the damage, and this old guy not only stole my kills, but he even attacked my teammates. No wonder he fell out with his best buddy.

"Hahaha, sorry, I threw too many punches and couldn't find my target. But speaking of which, where did you get that rock-hard defense? I've never seen anything like it before, and it doesn't look like that electrified chakra mode..."

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Grandpa Senju awkwardly scratched the back of his head, then tapped Shinto's body a few times with his hand, making a metallic clanging sound, and asked curiously.

He was even more astonished by the brat's defense. His best friend's five ancestral giants had all been destroyed by him, yet this brat, despite being beaten up alongside his best friend, was completely unharmed, his clothes barely torn. This was unlike the Cloud Village's chakra mode; there wasn't a single chakra fluctuation, it just felt like a natural body defense, and it even had a color...

"Clang, clang, clang...!"

"I developed this myself, and I'm not bragging. My defense is so good, I could take my idol's attacks forever without a problem. Sigh! You should be glad I was born a few decades too late, otherwise, once the chaos ended, you and my idol would have nothing to do with each other..."

Masato patted his chest smugly. Even though the other man was dead, he was still Tsunade's grandfather. Even though they had already signed the marriage certificate, he needed to let him know he could truly protect him...

"Wow! That's amazing, hey... it even glows red..."

Grandpa Qianshou looked at the man up and down carefully, his eyes sparkling like a curious child.

"Stop babbling! Madara isn't dead yet! ヽ(ー_ー)ノ"

Thousand-Handed Second Master looked at the two of them speechlessly. If he could, he would cut them up himself.

With a formidable enemy at hand, can we really afford to be silly...?

"boom!"

"You two bastards, die! Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique! (▼皿▼#)"

Grandpa Ban got up from the ground, shook his head which was a bit dazed from being punched, and saw that the two bastards dared to ignore him and act silly. His eyes were burning with anger, and he wished he could tear the two bastards to pieces. However, his good buddy's flurry of punches had calmed him down.

He had fought that brat Golden Lion twice. Based on his experience from those two encounters, he knew that the little rascal had high defense and strong attack. But that wasn't the point. After all, no matter how high his defense or how strong his attack was, even if he hadn't recovered to his peak condition, he could still at least hold his own against the brat for dozens of rounds. Even if the brat teamed up with his best buddy, he wouldn't be so easily defeated.

But every time he encountered this brat, he couldn't help but lose his temper and become hot-headed. What made him lose his temper was this brat's mouth. This brat's mouth was truly poisonous, and every time it touched his wounds, it made him lose his temper.

Now that he had figured it out and calmed down, he was still furious when he saw these two bastards ignoring his antics. He had been the center of attention and received superstar treatment wherever he went since birth, but these two bastards dared to treat him like a nobody and ignore him.

Without saying a word, he unleashed dozens of super-sized fire dragons.

"No way? No way? My idol actually used ninjutsu in front of me? Have you forgotten how I got my title? Lion's Might - Imperial Palace Scroll!"

Seeing Madara unleash a super fire dragon, Shinto really wanted that equally pretentious second male lead to come and see what Fire Release really is, what the hell Fire Release really is!

Compared to Madara's Fire Release, the cool second male lead's Fire Release is simply... no, wait!

Everyone's Fire Release technique is Hanonon!

This time, Thousand Hands Second Master wasn't given the chance to show off and act like a playboy.

Extending his right palm towards the dozens of giant fire dragons that were spewing forth, he activated the Float-Float Fruit's power. The giant fire dragons that were coming at him began to disintegrate as if they were heavy objects, and then reassembled into dozens of giant fire lions that jumped in different directions and roared towards Madara.

"...This kid's Magnet Release can actually control ninjutsu?"

The Second Master of the Thousand Hands was a little disappointed that he hadn't managed to show off, and then he looked at him with surprise.

Under his influence, although this kid has awakened Magnet Release, most of his abilities are just flying and turning the soil on the ground into golden lion heads. Unexpectedly, this kid now has this skill: he can control the form and direction of the opponent's ninjutsu.

No wonder Sarutobi said that this kid has developed Sunagakure to a whole new level in just a few decades. High defense, strong swordsmanship, and such formidable Magnet Release—he's definitely on par with his older brother, Madara Uchiha. Thinking about it this way, Senju Yuuki thinks Tsunade marrying this little rascal might not be so bad after all…

1184. The talent of Nawaki that astonished the Thousand-Armed Elder.

"Leave the idols to me, you guys go support the other battlefields."

Shindou really didn't want to team up with Senju-sama, that idiot who even beats up his own teammates, lest he get beaten up again for nothing. Even though it didn't hurt, it still hurt like hell.

"Big brother, let's go."

Second Master Thousand Hands nodded and pulled First Master Thousand Hands, who still wanted to continue his antics, away to support other battlefields.

"Hmph! That brat is too arrogant!"

Despite constantly telling himself to stay calm, Madara was still furious upon hearing the brat's words, and summoned his ancestral giant, drawing his sword and charging into battle.

"Easy peasy, Shimada cuts down the son of a bitch with his One-Sword Style!"

Seeing Madara summon his ancestral giant again, Masato also pulled out the new Uchiha Greatsword. Sakuragi flicked his wrist and unleashed a sword aura, while also delivering a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

"boom!"

"Boom boom..."

"Ta-da..."

Two figures, one large and one small, clashed head-on on the battlefield, leaving the surrounding area riddled with craters. They exchanged blows, punches, and sword strikes. Although Madara was not yet at his peak Madara 1.0, he was still far superior to the Madara who was on the verge of death back then.

The defense of this ancestral giant is clearly several levels higher than that of the ancestral giant from back then. The ancestral giant that was hanging Madara from the dead could be shattered with a single punch by Masato, but this ancestral giant only cracked a small piece with a single punch and then automatically recovered, as if it had cheated.

"Siguni! This level of battle is over too quickly..."

Although there are several bigwigs fighting against the three Mizukage and two Raikage next door, the focus of the entire arena is now on Madara's one-on-one duel with Shinto.

While group battles are frequent there, they mostly involve skill and, although the visuals are gorgeous, none of them are as breathtaking as the earth-shaking one-on-one duels here. They are purely clashes of power, and this kind of visual impact is something that Hozuki Gengetsu vs. Mizuki, Nawaki's Three-Sword Style vs. the Fourth Mizukage, and others have never experienced.

While there was a scene reminiscent of the father-son duel between the Third and Fourth Raikage, the Fourth Raikage's strength was already significantly weakened by the loss of an arm. Furthermore, because his opponent was his own father, the Fourth Raikage was somewhat hesitant and unable to fight freely, constantly on the defensive. Fortunately, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode was still quite effective, and the Third Raikage was not as powerful as he was in his prime. So, despite being constantly on the defensive, the Fourth Raikage was able to barely hold on.

The fight between the Third Mizukage and Rasa was essentially a clash between two mages with no skill or research involved. In the end, it all came down to who had more chakra. However, compared to the Third Mizukage's seemingly limitless chakra, Rasa, who had already fought Madara and been badly beaten, was not a good sign. Although Rasa wasn't known for his chakra reserves like the Senju or Uzumaki clans, he was still a bloodline limit ninja with two to three times more chakra than a normal person, so he could barely hold on for now.

As for the fight between Minato Namikaze and the Second Raikage, it was hardly worth watching. Minato was just too fast; even the Iwagakure underlings in the stands couldn't see him. All they saw was the Second Raikage constantly flying high in the air, never actually falling. Every time he was about to hit the ground, a figure would suddenly appear and kick him back into the air, then disappear again in a flash. He was completely powerless to fight back, and people with poor eyesight couldn't even see the figure that suddenly appeared.

To be honest, Minato Namikaze, who possesses an infinite supply of mana potions, is really flashy. His physical reflexes are far superior to those of Senju Nissan, the developer of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although Senju Nissan is fast enough, his physical reflexes cannot keep up with the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Therefore, when Senju Nissan uses the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, there will be a brief pause during the attack on the enemy, so you can still see the figure.

Minato Namikaze's reflexes are perfectly in sync with the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Therefore, after using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, his attacks don't experience the brief pauses seen with Senju. Because of this, others subconsciously perceive Minato as faster than Senju, since they can't even see his shadow; they only see flashes of golden light, and then the Second Raikage is constantly flying in the sky...

"Damn it! Three-Sword Style... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

To be fair, while the Fourth Mizukage's life was somewhat tragic, he was still a Jinchūriki in his lifetime, a true double-flowered red-spotted master. Even the weakest Jinchūriki is still a double-flowered red-spotted master if he can borrow the power of a Tailed Beast. Nawaki, on the other hand, was still rather weak. Although he crammed and practiced the Three-Sword Style every morning during the preparation period, his amazing talent, which even made Senju doubt if he was his grandson, was completely useless. He was still far inferior to a double-flowered red-spotted master.

He survived the entire ordeal only thanks to the genes passed down from the Senju clan. An ordinary person would have been dead long ago after being hit by that Water Release combo from the Fourth Mizukage brat...

"Shhhhhh!"

"boom!"

Minato Namikaze's character is truly admirable, consistent since childhood. Even in his first raid, he knew to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to put out fires everywhere, even helping enemies whenever possible. He was also the only person who kicked Onoki without Onoki holding a grudge.

Upon hearing Nawaki's scream, two Flying Thunder God kunai flew out and delivered a side kick to the Fourth Mizukage's side.

"Rope Tree. Are you alright?"

Minato Namikaze helped him up and carefully looked him over. The kid who had almost beaten his head into a pig's head by the Fourth Mizukage asked him with concern.

This is Konoha's precious son, and also the most suitable candidate for Hokage in Konoha right now. If even this precious son dies, Konoha will have a gap of more than ten years before his son becomes successful, which is not a good thing.
