Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 96: An Unprecedented War! Ishihara vs. Konoha!

Outside the Courtyard.

Hinata Hiashi and the others were still in shock at the appearance of the First and Second Hokage.

They couldn't believe that the battle between them and Ishihara had already started!

Even more astonishing was the fact that the Uchiha clan, who had originally broken ties with Konoha, had now teamed up with them!

A series of rapid changes left them overwhelmed, unable to process everything.

Especially those who had been hoping to collaborate with Ishihara but hadn't yet finalized any agreements—they were now completely dumbfounded.

Yamanaka Inoichi's face darkened, and he muttered in a low voice,

"It seems our Yamanaka clan has no chance to collaborate with Ishihara now."

After he spoke, Nara Shikaku coughed, causing Inoichi to look slightly embarrassed.

After all, Konoha was already at war with Ishihara, yet he was still thinking about collaboration—it was clearly inappropriate.

However, no one cared about whether Inoichi's words were right or wrong.

Because, aside from the Nara and Akimichi clans, none of the other families had successfully formed alliances with Ishihara.

And it was likely they would never have the chance again.

These families couldn't help but regret not having made deals earlier.

"Do you think Ishihara could possibly win?" Inazuka Tsume asked quietly.

Yamanaka Inoichi sighed.

"With four Mangekyō Sharingan users, plus the First and Second Hokage—even if they're not at their peak—their combined strength is such that even if Uchiha Madara were resurrected, he might not win."

"As for Ishihara… he doesn't stand a chance."

Hinata Hiashi and the others silently nodded in agreement.

Indeed, no one believed Ishihara could win.

But then, Inazuka Tsume added, "It would be great if we could capture Ishihara alive."

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hiashi and the others' eyes lit up.

They quickly moved to the nearby rooftops to observe the situation in the courtyard, hoping for the chance to capture Ishihara alive!

Inside the Courtyard.

"You want to give us war? Kid, how about you show up in person before talking big!"

"You don't really think a mere Wood Clone is worthy of fighting us, do you?"

The Second Hokage sneered.

With his elder brother Hashirama present, Wood Clones could never escape his sensory detection.

Hiss!!!

Fugaku and the others were stunned.

"That's actually a Wood Clone?!"

Considering Ishihara's previous display of power, their expressions became grave.

Even though Wood Clones had unique abilities, the difference in strength between a clone and the real body was still enormous.

They couldn't begin to imagine just how powerful Ishihara's real body was.

But the Second Hokage remained calm.

He had spent his entire life in the shadow of the battles between his brother, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara.

He refused to believe that Ishihara could surpass his brother!

"When you defeat my clone, you'll naturally meet the real me," Ishihara said calmly, indifferent to having his identity revealed.

A cold gleam flashed in the Second Hokage's eyes.

But before he could speak, the First Hokage stepped forward, pressing his palms together with a serious expression.

"Even though you're a junior, if you want to destroy Konoha, then you're my enemy!"

"Don't blame me!"

Seeing the First Hokage about to make his move, Fugaku and the others felt a surge of energy!

Not just them—on the rooftop, Hyuga Hiashi and the others also stood up, leaning forward to get a clearer view.

After all, they were about to witness the legendary First Hokage in action!

Ishihara grinned, not only unafraid but excited.

"Come on! Let me see your Wood Style!"

Boom!!!

A terrifying wave of chakra erupted from the First Hokage.

"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"

Crack, crack!

The ground split open, and small saplings emerged. Supported by the vast amount of chakra from the First Hokage, they quickly grew into towering trees.

These trees coalesced around the First Hokage, forming an immense fan-like shape.

Fugaku, the Second Hokage, and the others leapt to the top of the towering trees, looking down on Ishihara.

Then—

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Thick tree roots and vines shot out like cannon fire, hurling toward Ishihara.

Dozens of vines, each over a meter thick, rushed toward Ishihara like a massive tidal wave, with such speed that the air itself screeched.

The ground trembled violently!

The sheer visual impact was enough to make anyone's heart race!

"So strong!"

"This is the legendary Wood Style!"

"It's terrifying—he altered the entire landscape in an instant!"

Countless Konoha shinobi were stunned by the sight.

Even Fugaku, with his Mangekyō Sharingan activated, felt an overwhelming pressure just by watching.

But Ishihara laughed.

"This level of power isn't enough!"

"Lightning Palm Torrent!"

Boom!!!

Thunder roared.

Lightning-style chakra surged from his hands, glowing brightly and dazzling the eyes.

Then, the two glowing masses exploded!

Like massive waterfalls of lightning, they gushed out from his hands.

Boom, boom, boom!

The deafening thunder reverberated through the air.

As the Lightning Palm Torrent extended farther from Ishihara, its range expanded.

Ultimately, the two torrents merged into a towering tidal wave of lightning several meters high.

It collided fiercely with the surging Wood Style wave!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The terrifying explosions echoed continuously.

Countless Wood Style structures shattered upon contact with the lightning, breaking into countless splinters and fragments that flew into the air.

However, the endless onslaught of Wood Style began to push back against the lightning, slowly closing in on Ishihara!

---

The sudden battle threw all of Konoha into chaos.

Even though the Third Hokage and Danzo hurriedly dispatched the ANBU to maintain order, many people were still panicking.

At this moment, everyone was watching the battle, their hearts filled with shock.

This was the legendary First Hokage!

So powerful!

Ishihara, seeing this, was not surprised.

After all, this was only a Wood Clone, and its chakra reserves couldn't compare to the First Hokage's.

Moreover, Lightning Style consumed far more chakra than Wood Style.

Unfortunately, a Wood Clone could only use simple Wood Style techniques, far from a match for the First Hokage.

"In that case!"

Ishihara's eyes sharpened as his figure suddenly retreated.

"Tailed Beast Bomb!"

Buzz—

A massive amount of chakra began to gather in his mouth, radiating terrifying energy waves.

Fugaku and the others looked at the enormous chakra ball in shock, their hearts racing.

"What is that? It feels like a Tailed Beast Bomb!" Fugaku exclaimed.

"I'm afraid it really is a Tailed Beast Bomb!" The Second Hokage's eyes flashed with shock.

He knew that a few rare individuals in the ninja world could generate a Tailed Beast Bomb's chakra, but they themselves couldn't do it.

Because a Tailed Beast Bomb required the fusion of a human's chakra and a tailed beast's chakra.

But now, Ishihara had done it using only his own chakra!

"Danzo and the others were right—this guy is a monster!"

"That's why he must die!"

The Second Hokage had no regrets about opposing Ishihara.

He knew that if they didn't eliminate Ishihara now, the entire ninja world would one day live under his shadow.

Better to strike now, even if they failed.

Down below, the First Hokage's eyes gleamed with admiration.

"To use a Tailed Beast Bomb without being a Jinchūriki—you truly are impressive. Not even Madara could do that!"

"But this is Konoha, and I can't let you destroy it!"

Just as Ishihara prepared to release the attack—

Boom!!!

The terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb carved a deep trench into the ground with its violent energy.

But!

The First Hokage pressed his hands together and shouted,

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Boom!

A giant hand burst from the ground, grabbing the Tailed Beast Bomb!

The hand held the Tailed Beast Bomb firmly before hurling it far outside of Konoha.

Boom!!!

A deafening explosion shook the ground, and a massive mushroom cloud slowly rose in the distance.

Hiss!!!

Fugaku and the others were dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popping out.

That was a Tailed Beast Bomb!

A devastating weapon, even on a battlefield during a ninja war—and the First Hokage had just tossed it aside?!

Insane!!!

The Second Hokage, eyeing Ishihara for an opportunity to strike, called out,

"Be ready to move at any moment!"

Fugaku and the others were reinvigorated.

The First Hokage's strength made them believe there was a real chance to defeat Ishihara, and they didn't want to miss any opportunity that might arise.

"As expected of the First Hokage!"

Ishihara grinned.

After using several powerful techniques, his chakra was running low, and he didn't have many strong moves left at his disposal.

"Well, let's greet the First Hokage with this move first!"

Swoosh!

Ishihara's figure disappeared from where he stood, suddenly reappearing in the hands of the wooden human!

At the treetop.

The Second Hokage's pupils shrank, and he muttered in shock:

"What on earth is going on? Could it be a space-time ninjutsu? But it's not my Flying Thunder God technique!"

"But how is he doing this?!"

Although Fugaku and the others were shocked, they also felt a sense of relief.

After all, they had already speculated that Ishihara, being so reckless in Konoha, must have mastered some kind of space-time ninjutsu.

Now that this had been confirmed, they relaxed a bit and exchanged knowing glances with Uchiha Hirako.

Uchiha Hirako nodded.

Fugaku and the others immediately understood his meaning, smiles appearing on their faces.

Below.

Ishihara suddenly appeared on the wooden human's hand.

Senju Hashirama raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Though I don't know what you're planning, being there isn't a good choice!"

The wooden figure instantly clenched its fist...

Ishihara quickly dodged, effortlessly moving along the arm of the wooden human.

However, a mass of Wood Release vines rapidly entangled toward him, trying to ensnare him.

"That might not be the case!"

Ishihara took a deep breath, suddenly leaping into the air, reaching the space above Konoha's heads.

Heavenly Demon Tatoo·Activate!

Super Strength, Activate!

Chakra, Condense!

Hakuda Single Bone!!!

Ishihara clenched his fist by his waist, then swung it with all his might.

He smashed his fist down hard on the wooden human's head.

Boom!!!

The terrifying force spread to the ground, causing it to crack and form a massive crater.

Starting from where Ishihara's punch landed, cracks began appearing on the wooden figure's head.

Crack, crack!

Accompanied by a piercing sound, the cracks spread rapidly, from the head to the shoulders, to the waist, and down to the legs.

In an instant, the entire wooden figure resembled a shattered porcelain doll, covered in cracks.

Then, with a loud crash, it crumbled!

"This guy!"

The First Hokage's expression grew serious as he witnessed the scene.

That kind of monstrous strength was beyond even his capabilities.

If he were hit by that, he'd be as good as dead!

"What the hell!!!"

"What the hell!!!"

"That's insane!!!"

Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, and the others were dumbfounded as they watched, feeling like they were going mad.

This was the same terrifying wooden human that could catch a Tailed Beast Ball with one hand!

Yet, it had been shattered by a single punch from Ishihara!

Even though they had seen him destroy a mountain with one punch before, it was nowhere near as impactful as the sight before them!

It made their hearts tremble with fear!!!

"Now's our chance!"

A gleam flashed in Tobirama's eyes as he whispered, "Move!"

Before Fugaku and the others could react, he had already vanished from where he stood.

Below!

The wooden figure exploded.

A massive amount of Wood Release fragments shot out in all directions, like a shower of flowers, repelling the surrounding Wood Release attacks.

Amidst the countless flying wood chips, Ishihara slowly descended from the air, a trace of regret flickering in his eyes as he looked at the First Hokage.

"What a shame, I'm almost out of chakra!"

Otherwise, he could continue attacking!

But in the next moment—

Swoosh!

The Second Hokage suddenly appeared in front of him, his voice cold:

"This clone of yours should be at its limit!"

"You bastard!"

Ishihara's pupils contracted as he glared icily at the Second Hokage.

Indeed, due to the continuous consumption of chakra, this clone was nearing its limit.

Moreover, the earlier taijutsu attacks had left him somewhat exhausted, his body slightly stiff.

But that didn't mean he had no options left.

As the life chains struggled to pull his body to the right to dodge, he activated a genjutsu.

"Kyōka Suigetsu!"

"The clone games end here!"

In the Second Hokage's vision, however, Ishihara was desperately trying to dodge, awkwardly moving to the left as he swung his sword down hard.

Swoosh!

The Second Hokage's slash missed, his pupils shrinking as shockwaves rippled through his mind.

"What happened? I should have hit him! Is this a genjutsu? But when?!"

In reality, his body passed by Ishihara's.

Ishihara's gaze was ice-cold. "Die!"

He threw a punch.

But just as his fist was about to strike, it suddenly deviated.

It was as if Tobirama's earlier attack had repeated itself.

Bang!

His fist brushed past Tobirama's arm, shattering it on impact!

"Uchiha Inaho?!"

But Ishihara was furious, turning his head toward the distant Uchiha clan's location.

At that instant, he felt his shadow being controlled by someone, which caused his punch to veer off course.

"Damn it!"

Sensing the state of his body, the Second Hokage wasted no time in using the Flying Thunder God technique to return to the treetops.

Fugaku hurried over to release the genjutsu. "You were just caught in a genjutsu!"

The Second Hokage was both shocked and enraged. "When?!"

He hadn't even noticed!

But the next moment—

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Swoosh!

Ishihara's figure suddenly appeared beside the Second Hokage, roaring, "You think you can escape?!"

A bone-chilling cold enveloped Tobirama, causing his heart to freeze with terror.

"What's going on?! How is he here?!"

He wanted to use the Flying Thunder God technique again to flee.

But to his horror, he realized his body wouldn't move!

He stared in horror at Ishihara's icy gaze, panic flooding his heart.

"Damn it, what is this?!"

"Die!!!"

Ishihara roared, delivering a punch to Tobirama's body.

Boom!!!

Tobirama's head instantly exploded into countless paper scraps!
