Second Tsuchikage: Opening against Uchiha Madara Chapter 034

“In other words, it’s my turn, Kakuzu of Takigakure, to make an appearance!”

At this moment, a masked man, holding a long blade, was glaring menacingly at Hashirama Senju and the four Kage successors in the distance.

His name was Kakuzu.

His village had assigned him an impossible mission.

That was to assassinate Hashirama Senju!

Kakuzu was also bewildered when he first received this mission.

However, he was a person willing to dedicate everything for his village.

He resolutely wrote his will and embarked on the mission to assassinate Hashirama Senju!

But,

Just as he left the village,

Kakuzu discovered that the top experts from the Five Great Shinobi Villages were all here, fighting in the Land of Waterfall.

Kakuzu secretly rejoiced, thinking he might be able to snatch a kill and get some credit. So, he stealthily concealed himself, deciding to wait for Hashirama Senju to be critically wounded before going in for the kill.

“Achieving great deeds is today!”

Kakuzu deeply channeled his chakra.

Just as the four Kage successors fell into a predicament,

Kakuzu’s figure suddenly darted out!

The black figure continuously used the Body Flicker Technique, charging towards Hashirama Senju with his sharp blade!

The four Kage successors and Hashirama Senju were all startled!

“Nani! Whose subordinate is this? So brave?”

“Is it your village’s Anbu?”

“Or your village’s elite Jonin?”

Gengetsu Hozuki, the Second Raikage, and Sandai Kazekage looked at each other, utterly bewildered.

Mū, flying in mid-air, saw Kakuzu at a glance.

“Kakuzu assassinating Hashirama Senju is actually true?”

Mū had known from his memories that there was a person named Kakuzu from Takigakure who would assassinate Hashirama Senju in the future.

At the time, he thought it was absurd. No matter how foolish Takigakure was, they wouldn’t try to assassinate the God of Shinobi with a Jonin, would they? He didn’t expect it to be true!

Takigakure high command, are you sane?

“Hashirama Senju, remember me, the man who will assassinate you is Kakuzu!!”

“Take this!”

Kakuzu roared, his sharp blade thrusting directly towards Hashirama Senju’s forehead.

“What the hell is this?”

Hashirama Senju’s eyes widened in surprise, and he instinctively threw a punch!

Bang!

Accompanied by the sound of chakra exploding, Kakuzu was sent flying backward!

The four Kage successors: “……….”

Hashirama Senju: “……..”

“Hey, hey, hey!!! Can you not cause more trouble!?”

“Baka baka! It’s already annoying!”

Gengetsu Hozuki couldn’t hold back anymore and immediately complained.

“This guy… even we might not be able to defeat him. How does he have the confidence to think he can take down Hashirama Senju by himself?”

The Second Raikage couldn’t help but say.

“Kakuzu is a character, I, Sandai Kazekage, will remember him!”

Sandai Kazekage said.

“How much rebellious beverage did he drink to dare to do something like this……”

Mū silently complained.

The four of us Kage-level powerhouses might not even be able to defeat Hashirama Senju, and you, a Jonin, come alone to assassinate Hashirama Senju.

Alright, alright, you’re more awesome than all four of us!

“……..”

Hashirama Senju’s face darkened.

Damn it, he thought it was a cunning scheme by the four Kage successors. It turned out to be just an ordinary Jonin.

Is this guy really not here to be funny?

Kakuzu, who had been sent flying, was impaled in the ground.

Kakuzu struggled to crawl up.

His face was extremely grim.

That punch almost knocked his internal organs out.

It seemed he hadn’t drunk enough rebellious beverage. After returning to the village, he must chug rebellious beverages.

“Ugh, cough, cough….. No, run, kids, run!”

Kakuzu immediately used the Body Replacement Technique.

And promptly fled.

However, all in all, Kakuzu still gained something.

He gained fame.

From then on, Kakuzu would boast to everyone he met about how he fought alongside the Four Kage and clashed with Hashirama Senju back in the day.

………

In the Land of Fire.

Tobirama Senju led the Senju ninja and the Uzumaki clan back into the Land of Fire.

“Lord Tobirama, Lord Hashirama is fighting, why don’t you go help him?”

An Uzumaki Jonin representative asked.

Tobirama Senju shook his head helplessly.

“Sigh! Big Brother doesn’t want to see me, I suppose…..”

Tobirama Senju understood in his heart that his elder brother letting him leave was simply because he was angry with him, blaming him for killing Madara Uchiha without his knowledge.

If your brother conspired with people from other villages to kill your best friend, anyone would be angry and develop a rift. Hashirama Senju had a good temper, but that didn’t mean he could tolerate such a thing.

Last time, during the chaotic era, when he wanted to kill Madara Uchiha, his elder brother’s gaze alone made him abandon that idea.

Now that the village was built, and with Madara Uchiha defecting, he chose to team up with Mū to kill Madara Uchiha.

“What should we do next?”

The Uzumaki Jonin representative inquired.

“You all go back and prepare for battle. If Big Brother kills those four, I’m afraid the Four Great Shinobi Villages will declare war on Konoha and Uzumaki!”

Tobirama Senju sighed and said.

In Tobirama Senju’s eyes, his elder brother killing those four was a foregone conclusion.

Now, what he needed to prepare for was to welcome the declaration of war from the Four Great Shinobi Villages!

“What about the Nine-Tails?”

“The Nine-Tails will stay in Konoha for now!”

“……….”

On the other side of the battlefield.

Kakuzu’s incident was a minor interlude.

It added a few moments of lightness to the otherwise suffocatingly tense battlefield.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hashirama Senju’s Wood Clones began to rapidly attack Gengetsu Hozuki, Sandai Kazekage, and the Second Raikage.

The remaining four, along with Hashirama Senju’s main body, were singularly focused on Mū, who was in Dustless Demise.

“He actually sent so many people to watch me…..”

Mū’s eyes narrowed slightly. His Dust Release was an extreme threat in Hashirama Senju’s eyes.

“However, I still have a clone on the Raikage. Perhaps I can…..”

Mū secretly calculated in his heart.

After learning Sage Mode, his clones could also use Dust Release, which at least increased his strength by half!

“Try to gather together, don’t fight individually!”

Gengetsu Hozuki urgently shouted.

The other two nodded in agreement.

The three fought while choosing to group together.

Just as Hashirama Senju’s Wood Clones were gradually gathered together,

Mū, behind the Second Raikage, began to activate his power!

“Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!!”

Mū suddenly emerged from his Dustless Demise state, and a massive cube of Dust Release appeared!

Hashirama Senju’s pupils contracted!

What’s going on?!

Did his sensing make a mistake?

Wasn’t Mū always within his sensing range?

Hashirama Senju recalled Tobirama Senju’s previous judgment, the phrase “there are two Mū” echoed in Hashirama’s mind from beginning to end.

He had long realized there might be two Mū.

Hashirama Senju’s combat intelligence was not weak.

His surprise was why that Mū could still use Dust Release?

From the battle, he knew there were two Mū, one main body and one clone.

The clone could not use Dust Release.

Only the main body could use Dust Release.

He had been focusing on the Mū flying in the sky because he had determined that was the main body. As long as he kept an eye on the main body and prevented it from using Dust Release, he would have nothing to worry about.

And the one below was the clone, unable to use Dust Release, and not a threat.

But now, the clone below actually used Dust Release. Could it be that the one below was the main body all along? And the one he was currently watching was the clone?

No, he clearly remembered the Mū flying in the sky had also used Dust Release. Did Mū pull a switcheroo when he wasn’t paying attention?
