Chapter 99: The First Hokage, Second Hokage, Dead!

"Ishihara actually defeated the First Hokage?!"

Fugaku and the others stared blankly at the scene, feeling a sense of unease. Senju Tobirama's roar snapped them out of their daze.

"Quick, stop Ishihara! We can't let the First Hokage fall!"

Fugaku's face changed drastically as he hurriedly shouted orders.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several figures rushed forward and soon arrived not far from Ishihara's wooden human. The towering figure loomed over them like a mountain, causing their hearts to feel as if they were being crushed. They gritted their teeth and sprang into action.

"Susanoo!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four powerful surges of chakra erupted simultaneously. Normally, this display would be enough to shake the entire ninja world, but at this moment, it seemed insignificant.

Then, four Susanoo emerged, each a different color: red, orange, yellow, and green. They stood on either side of the wooden human, two on each side.

However, each Susanoo was only ten to twenty meters tall, utterly dwarfed by the over two-hundred-meter-tall wooden human, resembling ants beside a giant. It was as if four little colored puppies were standing next to a grown adult.

Senju Tobirama was dumbstruck by the scene, gritting his teeth as he growled, "Are you here to be funny?!"

The entire Konoha witnessed this, and their gazes turned peculiar. The vast difference in size made the Susanoo utterly ineffective.

Uchiha Fugaku and the 13 others looked at each other in awkward silence. Though they couldn't see the expressions of others, they could all feel the deep humiliation. The Susanoo they had always taken pride in couldn't even garner Ishihara's attention.

It was embarrassing! Humiliating! Infuriating!

Uchiha Hirako roared, "Clan leader, Inaho, Yashiro, lend me your strength!"

The three of them immediately understood Hirako's plan and quickly nodded.

The next moment, buzz—the Susanoo surrounding Fugaku, Inaho, and Yashiro dissolved into rain-like chakra, converging toward Hirako. His red Susanoo began to expand rapidly—thirty meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters, and finally, one hundred fifty meters tall!

"So strong!!"

Hirako's face flushed with excitement as he felt the terrifying power within his Susanoo. His eyes gleamed with ferocity as he stared at Ishihara's wooden human.

"Die!!!"

Hirako's Susanoo swung its blade fiercely.

"You're courting death!"

Ishihara's eyes grew cold as he controlled the wooden human's dragon, which shot out and bit down on the blade. At the same time, the wooden human swung its fist, sending Hirako's Susanoo flying back, crashing into the barrier.

At that moment—

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Senju Hashirama clapped his hands and shouted. Instantly, his wood human expanded in height, quickly reaching two hundred meters. Charging forward, it launched a fierce attack at Ishihara's golem, while Hirako's Susanoo continued slashing from behind.

Ishihara was surrounded!

On the battlefield, the two colossal wooden humans clashed violently, while the much smaller Susanoo occasionally attacked from the side with its blade. Around them, numerous Wood Release techniques collided in a chaotic battle.

Each clash sent shockwaves and caused violent tremors.

The scene left countless Konoha ninjas in shock. They could only watch in stunned silence, unable to utter a word.

Seeing the battle once again deadlocked, Ishihara's eyes flashed with anger. Even if he used Sage Art: Wood Release, the situation might not change significantly. After all, his Wood Release had already absorbed part of the natural energy.

Moreover, he was tired of the constant entanglement with Senju Hashirama and the Uchiha.

"You think all I can do is Wood Release?!"

"Shadow Imitation Technique!"

Whoosh!

As chakra surged, the shadow beneath Ishihara's feet darkened and expanded, linking with the shadow of the wooden human. The massive shadow was terrifying to behold.

Fugaku and the others hastily shouted warnings, "Be careful, Ishihara can control shadows!"

"This is bad!" Senju Tobirama's face changed as he glanced anxiously at Hashirama. His pupils contracted as he yelled, "Big brother, watch out!"

Behind Senju Hashirama, a shadow suddenly emerged from the ground and connected with his shadow, freezing him in place. His heart sank.

"Damn it!"

Hashirama roared, releasing a torrent of chakra in an attempt to break free from the shadow's control. But in that brief moment of paralysis—

Thud!

A sharp sound pierced the air, and a jet-black spear shot out from the shadow, stabbing through Hashirama's chest.

Instantly, Hashirama's Reanimation resurrection mechanism was triggered, rendering him immobile.

"Damn it!" Senju Tobirama's face turned dark as he quickly rushed over and grabbed Hashirama's body, attempting to flee.

"Do you think you can escape?" Ishihara's eyes gleamed coldly.

Byakugan, activate!

Ishihara's field of vision expanded to 360 degrees, immediately locking onto Senju Tobirama's position. Shadows followed him closely, chasing him down at an alarming speed.

Without the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama was still fast, but no match for the dozens of shadows pursuing him. The overwhelming sense of danger left him trembling as he shouted, "Quick, release the barrier seal!"

As long as the space seal was undone, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, and then Hashirama could recover!

Uchiha Hirako realized the urgency and instinctively used his eye technique to release the barrier.

"It's done!!!" Tobirama immediately attempted to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but—

He failed!

The Flying Thunder God Technique still wouldn't work!

He erupted in rage, "Damn it, the seal isn't undone!"

Tobirama's face twisted with fury as he glared at Hirako, seething with murderous intent. His brief hesitation to use the Flying Thunder God Technique had allowed the shadows to catch up, freezing him in place.

"It's over!"

Thud!

The black shadows pierced through the bodies of both the First and Second Hokage, trapping them in the Reanimation resurrection cycle once again.

"Damn it! What's going on?! I clearly released it!" Hirako's face turned pale with shock, but then he seemed to realize something. Looking at Ishihara in horror, he gasped, "Could it be you?!"

Ishihara calmly replied, "Since you know I've studied your eye technique, you should've expected that I've already mastered it."

He added with a hint of praise, "By the way, your eye technique is quite useful."

"Impossible! You don't even have the Mangekyō Sharingan! There's no way you could use Mangekyō techniques!" Hirako shook his head frantically, unable to accept the truth.
