Chapter 132 : Calling For Help!!

While heading to the Land of Lightning, Senju Tobirama had already prepared for the possibility of being discovered by the Cloud ninjas.

Now, seeing the Cloud ninjas approaching, and even the Third Raikage personally leading the team, he showed no sign of panic.

"Big sister, take them and retreat first. I'll handle things here."

Before Uzumaki Mito could say anything, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and the other six disciples immediately voiced their objections.

The situation now was eerily similar to the scene in "history" where Senju Tobirama had died.

It was the same—being chased by the Cloud ninjas.

It was the same—he stayed behind to cover the retreat alone.

The six disciples insisted they didn't want to retreat first.

"Idiots, if you stay here, you'll only be a burden to me."

Senju Tobirama understood their concerns, and after scolding them harshly, his tone softened immediately.

"Don't worry. I have the Flying Thunder God technique. As long as you're safe, I can leave in an instant using it."

"Sensei..."

"Go, if you don't leave now, it'll be too late."

"...Then take care, Sensei."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others left, leaving Senju Tobirama to cover the rear alone.

To be honest, Senju Tobirama didn't think there was any danger in staying behind.

After witnessing how the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, used the Flying Thunder God technique, he made some improvements to it himself.

Now, Senju Tobirama could be considered a more advanced version of Namikaze Minato.

"Lord Hokage, daring to enter our Land of Lightning, may I ask what your purpose is?" 

The Third Raikage and his group reached Senju Tobirama and first signaled to the Cloud ninjas to send some people after the escaping Konoha ninjas, before speaking.

"How about this, Hokage-sama, why don't you come back to the Hidden Cloud Village with us for a few days? It would give us a chance to show you some hospitality."

Senju Tobirama ignored the Cloud ninja pursuing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It wasn't that he looked down on these people.

For someone like Hiruzen, who was already entering his peak, these Cloud ninja were nothing more than small fry in comparison.

Not to mention, among the retreating group were the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, his sister-in-law, and Kakuzu, who still had four hearts left.

If it weren't for the need for Konoha to develop secretly and low-key, just these people alone could wipe out the entire force that the Third Raikage brought.

"Raikage-sama, are you sure you've got me figured out?"

"Hokage-sama, how could you say that? I simply want you to come back to our village with us."

Though that's what he said, the malice from the Third Raikage was practically overflowing.

Just thinking about the large sum of money and supplies they had to pay Konoha six months ago made his teeth grind in frustration.

He was always plotting revenge.

Tobirama, you've been staying in the Land of Fire for so long, that's fine, but now you've set foot on the Land of Lightning. If I, the Raikage, don't bring you back to the village, wouldn't that make me seem useless?

"Hokage-sama, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, I think you should surrender."

"Raikage-sama."

"What is it?"

"I have to say, persuading you to surrender seems a bit too difficult for you. Unnecessary sacrifices? I believe you mean your Cloud ninja."

Hearing this, the Third Raikage became furious.

He liked to be straightforward—if there was a fight, then fight. Why waste time with words?

If it weren't for the fact that the man opposite him was Senju Tobirama, and he feared his subordinates might be harmed, he wouldn't waste time talking to Tobirama.

"Since Hokage-sama doesn't know what's good for him, don't blame us for taking action."

"That's more like it, now you're acting like Cloud ninja."

With a light chuckle, Senju Tobirama immediately took out a handful of kunai with the Flying Thunder God seal on them from his ninja tool pouch, scattering them around the area.

The Third Raikage didn't pay attention to these details. Leading by example, he released his Lightning Release chakra, significantly increasing his speed.

With just one flash, he appeared in front of Senju Tobirama, his right fist clenched, and he slammed it downward toward his opponent.

Boom!

Faced with the Third Raikage's powerful punch, Senju Tobirama didn't try to withstand it directly. He activated the Flying Thunder God technique and instantly appeared next to a Cloud Ninja.

Without Senju Tobirama in sight, the Third Raikage's attack naturally missed, crashing heavily into the ground.

"Ugh."

A kunai slashed through the throat, and Senju Tobirama smoothly took down the nearby Cloud Ninja.

"Senju Tobirama!"

The Third Raikage roared, unable to accept that his subordinate had been killed so easily.

"Don't rush. Once I finish with them, it'll be your turn," Senju Tobirama said, ignoring the Third Raikage's anger.

Using the instantaneous teleportation ability of the Flying Thunder God, every time Senju Tobirama flashed, he managed to take down one more Cloud Ninja.

But the Third Raikage was no fool.

After several flashes, he realized that every location where Senju Tobirama reappeared had a special kunai embedded in it.

"Everyone, fall back!" 

Realizing this, the Third Raikage immediately ordered his forces to distance themselves from the special Flying Thunder God kunai.

"Figured it out?" 

After killing another Cloud Ninja, Senju Tobirama didn't hurry to continue.

Because the Cloud Ninjas had now distanced themselves from the Flying Thunder God kunai.

Even if he used the Flying Thunder God to teleport to them, the Third Raikage would have time to intervene.

After all, the Third Raikage was extremely fast, and in a confined space, his speed would only be slightly slower than instantaneous movement.

"I won't let you kill my subordinates anymore."

"Is that so?" Senju Tobirama smiled slightly, saying calmly, "Then, I'm leaving now. What will you do about it?"

After saying this, Senju Tobirama didn't bother to pick up the Flying Thunder God kunai. He used the Body Flicker Technique and started running.

"Don't run!" The Third Raikage roared in fury.

He brought so many people here just to capture Senju Tobirama.

If he succeeds, Konoha will have to return double for everything they've done to him.

Seeing that Senju Tobirama was about to escape, he immediately chased after him without hesitation.

Just then, Senju Tobirama flashed and reappeared, starting a massacre against the Cloud Ninja who were still standing frozen in place.

"Senju Tobirama, you really are despicable."

The Third Raikage realized he'd been tricked and quickly rushed back.

In just a short amount of time, Senju Tobirama had already killed four Cloud Ninjas.

"You see? I've killed several Cloud Ninjas. What can you do about it now?"

"Bastard! All Cloud Ninjas, get away from the battlefield. I'll handle this!"

"Lord Raikage!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

At the Third Raikage's furious roar, the remaining Cloud Ninjas had no choice but to leave reluctantly, leaving the battlefield to the Third Raikage and the Second Hokage.

"Now that my people are gone, your little tricks won't work anymore."

"Is that so?"

Senju Tobirama sneered and looked at the unconscious Cloud Ninja beneath his feet, whom he had deliberately spared, only leaving them in a faint state.

"Your people are gone, but now it's my turn to call for help."

Saying that, Senju Tobirama quickly formed hand seals.

Tiger - Snake - Dog - Dragon

"Reanimation Jutsu."

A coffin slowly rose from the ground in front of Tobirama.

Before long, the coffin lid opened on its own, revealing the true form of the Reanimation Jutsu body.

"Yo~ Tobirama, long time no see!"

Hearing this, Senju Tobirama smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, long time no see, big brother!"
