Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

After all, the previous choices had rendered the Senju clan virtually extinct, and now, perhaps, is a good time for change.

Staring intently into Iori's eyes, Senju Momoka said solemnly:

"There are countless ideologies in the ninja world, but only the strong are qualified to implement their ideologies and carry them through."

"I have understood your thoughts, but I do not yet understand your power."

Senju Momoka's eyes sharpened. As a remnant of the Warring States period, strength was her primary criterion for choice. No matter how reasonable the words of the weak were, they were weak and powerless.

Only the strong have the right to make the rules.

"If you lose, we will still not interfere in what happens between you and Tsunade, but the Senju clan will not become your power."

“If you win, then the Senju clan will be at your service, and I personally look forward to the peace you speak of.”

"So, what's your choice? Do you want to accept this test?"

Iori laughed and looked at her, saying, "I couldn't be happier! Let me experience the power of the Senju!"

"Eiji, Yoshiyuki, Yuta, Mari, and you, Tsunade, all of you, go for it! Go all out and let me see his true power."

"Although they combined are not as strong as Lord Hashirama, if you can defeat them together, I will acknowledge your strength."

Senju Momoka turned to look at the group, who nodded and prepared for battle. Tsunade also nodded calmly without objection.

Tsunade knew that with Iori's power, victory would be no problem for him; the difficulty might lie in how to avoid killing anyone.

She led everyone to the Forest of Death, the place where Hashirama Senju had trained in the past.

Looking at the group of people in front of her, Senju Momoka said:

"Then let the battle begin!"

Chapter 79 Uchiha vs. Senju (Part 1)

Uchiha Iori stood quietly opposite them, his scarlet eyes flashing with a dangerous light, revealing an unfathomable power.

The chilling chakra emanating from his Mangekyou Sharingan enveloped him like an invisible shadow, making him appear like a demon god descended to earth, sending shivers down one's spine.

Iori simply stood there without making any move, but the terrifying sense of oppression came over her like a storm.

The Senju clan's prized sensory abilities became a burden at this moment, instilling in them an unprecedented fear.

Their instincts were screaming an alarm: Run! Run now! Don't look back! Staying here means certain death!

Facing this man, they felt as if they were not facing a human being, but a natural disaster no less devastating than a tailed beast.

Iori did not make the first move; for him, the outcome of this battle was not important.

For him, it was more like a performance, an opportunity to showcase his strength.

Standing in the forest, a cold wind brushed against his face, and the leaves rustled in the wind. As a few leaves fell, cold sweat dripped down the faces of several Senju ninjas.

Ninjas have always been more afraid of power than virtue. Every time I try to show mercy, there are always fools who can't distinguish between weakness and mercy.

[This has forced someone as compassionate as me to go on a killing spree.]

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you what true power is. Use your bodies to remember this fear, and use your souls to etch your loyalty to me."

Iori's eyes sharpened. Although he didn't intend to use any force, sometimes, mental fear is more effective than physical pain.

Let's begin our unification of Konoha by defeating and incorporating the Senju clan.

[Next, I'll defeat Eiji using Bajiquan, defeat Yuta using the Second Hokage's Water Release, and defeat Noriyuki using the First Hokage's Earth Release.]

[Thus, they should understand that there is a world of difference in power between us.]

[Finally, let's use Susanoo to show them just how powerful absolute violence can be in ending the Warring States period!]

Despite knowing in their hearts that there was an insurmountable gap between them, they were faced with Iori's arrogant posture, arms crossed and seemingly untouchable.

But anger still rose, both from the other party's contempt and from his own fear.

As Jonin of the Senju clan, they are powerful figures on par with the three-tomoe Uchiha. For decades, even Jonin from enemy countries have shown them due respect.

However, today, in front of Iori, a junior, they felt a sense of contempt and humiliation, as if they had returned to their childhood when they stood in front of Uchiha Madara.

Seeing this, Tsunade's gaze swept over them like a sharp sword, reminding them, "Put away your arrogance. He certainly has the right to underestimate you. Once he goes all out, he can crush you in an instant."

"If his goal today was to defeat you, rather than to demonstrate his power and make you submit, then you would all be gone by now, just like the Kazekage."

Her voice was like a cold wind, instantly cooling the anger in their hearts. After all, they were once highly decorated Jonin.

It was only because their arrogance, born of years of pampered life, had blinded them that they calmed down immediately after adjusting their mindset.

After listening to Tsunade's words, Iori raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity, "If I may ask, why didn't you go to the battlefield before?"

After observing the group closely, he realized that with their strength, they shouldn't be unknown now if they had participated in the Third World War.

The group exchanged glances, and Yingyi answered in a deep voice, his tone tinged with helplessness and regret:

"We are almost fifty years old now and have lost the ability to fight for a long time. Now we can only be used as a key force."

"We can only go into battle when the enemy forces reach the vicinity of Konoha, or when Hiruzen summons us to carry out a decapitation operation."

Yingyi's words revealed a sense of the vicissitudes of time and the pain of a hero's twilight years.

Upon hearing this, Iori nodded, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.

[So that's why they didn't appear in the original work.]

[It's estimated that by the time the main story begins more than ten years from now, they will either have died on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, or be too old to fight at sixty.]

After all, ninjas like Chiyo and the Third Hokage who remained strong even in their old age were few and far between.

Seeing Iori standing there, seemingly full of flaws, the Senju clan members dared not make a move.

"Tsuna, is that kind of chakra really something that humans can possess?"

Yuta, who had inherited the Second Generation Chakra Detection Technique, asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"I originally thought he was the next Uchiha Izuna, but now I feel he's closer to Madara."

Nōsei continued, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. The name Uchiha Madara held a heavy weight in their hearts.

The Senju clan conducted in-depth research on the Uchiha clan, and the Second Hokage played a crucial role in this.

Others in the ninja world might not be able to distinguish between the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but the upper echelons of the Senju clan know it perfectly well.

They investigated and found that Iori had no brothers, meaning he could only have the Kaleidoscope at most, but the power he displayed was no less than that of the Eternal Eye, which was truly unbelievable.

"Heh, let's treat him as an enemy even more terrifying than Madara Uchiha."

Tsunade chuckled softly, but her eyes revealed seriousness.

Although Iori is her boyfriend, he is also a monster like her great-grandfather and Madara Uchiha, capable of single-handedly conquering the ninja world.

"Go! Don't keep him waiting." As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, she moved instantly.

She stomped her foot on the ground, and power erupted from beneath her feet, making the earth tremble. Her figure shot towards Iori like a bolt of lightning.

Seeing Tsunade taking the lead, the others didn't let her fight alone. They quickly moved and launched an attack on Iori.

A chilling atmosphere filled the air, as if even the wind had stopped.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Yuta shouted, his hands quickly forming hand seals. A huge water dragon surged from the ground, rushing towards Iori with great power.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!" Noriyuki was not to be outdone. His hands also quickly formed hand seals, the ground shook, and an earth dragon burst out of the ground, spewing out mud bullets that attacked Iori together with the water dragon.

As close-combat ninjas, Yingyi and Zhenli followed closely behind Tsunade, throwing kunai with explosive tags as they ran.

The kunai traced arcs through the air, carrying the aura of death.

They dared not be careless in their dealings with Iori. They knew that unless they were determined to kill him, they might not even have a chance to hurt him.

“Then first, I need to divide the battlefield.” Iori’s voice was calm and confident. He spoke as if no one else was paying attention to him.

Countless golden ripples appeared in the sky, and countless weapons fell like raindrops.

The Senjus quickly dodged, moving like swallows darting through the rain.

By the time they came to their senses, Iori had already vanished.

Like all things in nature, he silently blended into his surroundings.

Chapter 80 Uchiha vs. Senju (Part 2)

"What? It's disappeared?"

Eiji's voice was filled with disbelief as his eyes darted around, trying to spot Iori.

"I can't sense his chakra anymore, what kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Yuta frowned deeply; this was the first time he had encountered a situation where his chakra detection technique had failed.

"You've reached the Great Perfection of the Circle? Iori, you're a monster!"

Tsunade's voice revealed a hint of resentment. They had started learning at the same time, but their progress was worlds apart. As proud as Tsunade was, how could she easily accept this fact?

"Then let's start with you, Uncle Yingyi, here you go."

Iori's voice suddenly rang in Eiji's ears. His figure appeared like a ghost and instantly teleported to Eiji's side using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Iori launched a flying kick, which whistled through the air, and caught Eiji off guard, he was sent flying.

His figure traced an arc in the air, like a soccer ball being knocked away.

Immediately afterwards, Iori raised her hand, and a sword shot out from the golden ripples, streaking across the sky like a meteor and heading towards Eiji in the air.

"Don't even think about pursuing me, Water Release: Heaven's Cry." Yuta quickly formed hand seals and spat out a burst of water needles, preparing to disrupt Iori's pursuit.

The people on the ground watched each other closely, their eyes filled with vigilance, ready to help each other at any moment.

Iori's eyes swirled, forming a six-pointed star. A dark figure separated from him and swept away Yuta's water needles with a single slash, neutralizing Yuta's interference.

"You guys play with him for a bit, I'll be right back." Iori turned to look at them, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique again and disappeared from the spot.

Yingyi truly lived up to his reputation as a master of martial arts. Even when he couldn't catch the ball in mid-air, he skillfully dodged the fatal shot using his recovery techniques. The sword slashed past him, only tearing his clothes.

Then Iori appeared in front of him and threw a punch at him, only to find that he was prepared.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique was created by the Second Hokage. Do you think I wouldn't be on guard?"

Yingyi's smile held a hint of confidence and smugness. Having anticipated this, he successfully parried Iori's punch, and just as he was about to retaliate...
