Chapter:103

(Read Chapter's Ahead in Patreon).

During the Warring States Period, the speed with which ninjas reacted to challenges was astounding. The moment Izuna knocked out a Senju patrolling ninja, all the sleeping ninjas in the stronghold awoke within five seconds and rushed out of their tents.

"Sound the alarm!" shouted a Senju elite jōnin.

But his subordinate quickly responded, "No, Lord Takeshi! The warning bell has been destroyed!"

The warning bell used by the Senju Clan was made of a special mineral copper. When struck, its sound could travel up to ten miles, alerting reinforcements from nearby strongholds. Senju Takeshi, the commander of this stronghold, was stunned. "How many Uchiha did they send? And what were the sensing troops doing? How did they let the enemy sneak into the stronghold?"

Izuna's voice rang out from the shadows. "There is only one of us."

Senju Takeshi's eyes widened in shock. "Uchiha Izuna!?" He quickly regained his composure and muttered, "I never imagined that the deputy leader of the Uchiha Clan would venture deep into enemy territory alone. It's brave, but don't you think it's too arrogant?"

Izuna simply smiled and tossed a three-pronged kunai toward Takeshi.

Takeshi was an expert in Senju-style taijutsu and was skilled in swordsmanship. He swiftly unsheathed his blade, knocking the kunai away with ease. But when he looked back at Izuna, the Uchiha had vanished.

"What!?" Takeshi instinctively raised his sword, sensing danger.

Bang!

Sparks flew as Izuna reappeared midair, kunai in hand, delivering a precise strike that grazed the side of Takeshi's face, leaving a ten-centimeter gash. Blood splattered.

"That... That's Tobirama-sama's Flying Thunder God Technique!" Takeshi muttered, wiping the blood from his face, clearly in disbelief.

Izuna remained silent. His plan was clear: everyone in this stronghold would die.

"Lord Takeshi! We've come to assist you!" A group of over a dozen Senju ninjas surrounded both Izuna and Takeshi.

Takeshi kept his composure and asked, "Have you informed the clan leader?"

One of the ninjas in the circle replied, "We've sent someone to inform him."

"Good. If we can hold off Uchiha Izuna until reinforcements arrive, killing him will be a great victory!" Takeshi said, rallying his forces.

"Kill me?" Izuna chuckled, biting his thumb as he prepared a jutsu. "I already told you, no one will leave this place alive. Even if Senju Kawaragi arrives, all he'll find are your corpses."

With lightning speed, Izuna weaved a series of hand seals: Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram!

Bang! Thick white smoke filled the area, and from it emerged a massive claw covered in blue flames that smashed into the ground, shaking the earth.

Several Senju ninjas were sent flying by the shockwave. "What is that!?" Takeshi, also thrown back several meters, stared in horror.

Emerging from the smoke stood the enormous figure of Matatabi, the Two-Tails. Izuna stood atop the tailed beast, looking down on the Senju forces. "Summoning the Two-Tails has undoubtedly released a massive amount of chakra, which will alert every nearby Senju stronghold," Izuna muttered to himself. "But it doesn't matter. I'll destroy this one before reinforcements arrive."

The Senju ninjas below were momentarily stunned by the appearance of Matatabi. "What kind of monster is that? Isn't Uchiha's summon supposed to be a hawk?"

"It doesn't matter! Attack! We need to hold out until the clan leader arrives!" shouted a nearby ninja, snapping them out of their daze.

The Senju launched a barrage of ninjutsu:

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

Matatabi raised her head, stomping her claw onto the ground. A wall of blue flames erupted from the earth, blocking the incoming attacks.

"What is this power!?" one of the Senju ninjas cried in shock, watching as their combined jutsu was rendered useless against the giant beast.

Takeshi tried to keep his men calm. "No matter what this creature is, it has a weakness! Keep attacking!"

He took the lead, forming hand seals. "Water Release: Twin Dragon Strangulation!" Two enormous water dragons materialized and surged toward Matatabi, fangs bared.

Izuna smirked, forming his own hand seals. "Matatabi, use Fire Release. I'll assist."

Matatabi nodded, a feminine voice echoing, "I understand."

"Fire Release: Jade Flame!"

"Wind Release: Scythe Blade!"

The two jutsu merged, amplifying the flames and creating a colossal blue inferno. The fiery wave obliterated everything in its path. Senju Takeshi, who had faced countless foes, had never seen such destructive power. Only Senju Hashirama's Deep Forest Emergence could compare to the sheer devastation of the attack.

But just as the firestorm approached, a group of Senju ninjas jumped in front of Takeshi, forming seals. "Water Release: Water Wall!" Over twenty Senju ninjas raised a massive water barrier to shield themselves from the flames.

Thick steam erupted as the water vaporized, blanketing the valley in dense fog.

"The ninjas of the Warring States Period truly were remarkable," Izuna murmured, impressed. The combined attack between him and Matatabi was more powerful than any technique Madara would use in later years, yet it had been blocked by these Senju warriors working together.

"This will require more," Izuna whispered. His Sharingan spun, and black markings formed at the corners of his eyes. Blood and tears flowed from his right eye, but the pain was tolerable this time.

"Amaterasu!"

The black flames of Amaterasu mixed with Matatabi's green fire, moving forward like a living entity. The flames surged down like a black tsunami, engulfing the remaining Senju forces.

Takeshi and his men screamed in horror as the black flames crawled toward them, consuming everything in their path.
