"lt's not over yet!"
On the vast open ground, Tobirama clapped his hands together and shouted loudly.
"Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!!"
Within the Four Red Yang Formation, hundreds of coffins rose from the ground, emerging one after another from the edges of the barrier. Dust and smoke filled the air, and in a matter of moments, the black Susanoo at the center was completely surrounded.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of coffin lids hitting the ground continued incessantly. Amidst the thick smoke, hundreds of eerie figures began to take shape. As the moonlight drew near, Kamihane inside the Susanoo couldn't help but furrow his brow.
He saw pairs of crimson Sharingan eyes!
"Eight years ago, a portion of the Uchiha ninjas who perished on the battlefield," Tobirama stared at Kamihane within the crimson barrier, a cold and mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips. "Today, they will be the ones to send you on your way."
"Hum!"
A pitch-black slash tore through the earth, transforming into a crescent moon's radiance that swept horizontally, annihilating dozens of figures in a single stroke, along with the coffins behind them.
Susanoo shook its spear, and black light erupted from the spear tip, carrying the momentum to sweep away a thousand troops, once again swinging out a pitch-black arc. The powerful energy poured forth once more, raging like a storm.
Under this calamitous might comparable to a natural disaster, the defiled ones were as fragile as grass and mayflies, turning to ashes in an instant. The arc, unstoppable and overwhelming, collided directly with the barrier, causing a deafening hum and stirring up layers of surging air currents!
Kamihane narrowed his eyes slightly. The Four Red Yang Formation, as expected of a barrier technique that only Kage-level experts could deploy, was so resilient that even the full-force strike of his second-stage Susanoo could not tear it apart.
From beginning to end, he never paid any heed to Tobirama's Edo Tensei army. The only thing that truly posed a threat to him was the barrier before his eyes.
However, the boundary wall expanded as if elastic, then slowly contracted back. A black light, carrying a massive amount of dust, erupted from the exit above, forcefully dispersing the leaden gray clouds.
"If that's the case... then I'll have to try using the Third Stage Susanoo."
Kamihane's right eye, the Mangekyō Sharingan, silently rotated, instantly restoring his physical condition to its peak. He had already lost count of how many times he had reversed time. Since his debut, this was the most frequent use of time reversal he had ever employed.
The level of difficulty posed by Senju Tobirama had surpassed that of the Nine-Tails!
"Still, these undying cockroaches are truly troublesome."
The dust slowly gathered, and the Edo Tensei individuals who had just been shattered by the Susanoo stood upright once more. As long as the caster did not release the binding, they were immortal and indestructible!
To deal with them, the most direct and effective method is to control the caster to undo the Impure World Reincarnation Seal;
or to directly attack their souls using Yin-Yang Release;
As a last resort, one can only defeat and then seal them to restrict their movements.
However, sealing techniques... are precisely not Kamihane's forte, and in fact, he is utterly clueless about them.
Those reincarnated individuals charged forward at an extremely fast speed, fearless of death, their blank and lifeless faces clearly indicating that their minds had been manipulated.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" They all formed hand seals, and one massive fireball after another fell like cannonballs, shattering upon impact outside the Susanoo, erupting into billowing smoke.
Kamihane stood confidently inside the Susanoo. Within the realm of ordinary ninja, the second stage of Susanoo is considered an absolute defense. These ordinary ninjutsu couldn't harm him in the slightest.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Countless shuriken struck the half-giant's eyes, armpits, joint gaps, and other vulnerable points, but they were utterly ineffective.
Kamihane couldn't even be bothered to look. With a sweep of his spear, dozens more were reduced to dust. With a single clap of his hand, he smashed a few who couldn't escape into the ground.
"Kid, you don't show any mercy when killing your own kind, do you?"
From outside the barrier, Tobirama's voice echoed from afar.
"They were once your comrades who fought alongside you. Look at their faces—how can you bring yourself to do this?"
Kamihane sneered, "Lord Tobirama, trying to play mind games is just childish. They've been dead for a long time; now they're nothing but walking corpses! And..."
The long spear was raised high, surging energy accumulating like a tide.
"They, they died by your hands!"
"Hum!!"
Susanoo wielded the long spear with both hands, the spearhead plunged into the ground, and with a fierce upward slash, a colossal black crescent moon plowed through the earth!
The ground crumbled inch by inch, as fragile as tofu, but the crescent moon did not pierce through the surface, for deep underground lay a red boundary wall.
"Boom!!!"
A massive shockwave detonated beneath the surface, the earth exploded with a thunderous roar, and debris cascaded down. Before Susanoo, a crater with a radius of several tens of meters appeared, burying nearly half of the Impure World beings under the rubble.
"Tch, even the underground is covered by a barrier..." Kamihane clenched his fist, a flash of frustration flickering between his brows.
At that very moment, the corner of his eye caught a straggler, a reanimated corpse that had "survived" the previous slash attack. It had already infiltrated Kamihane's vicinity, slamming its palm against the outer wall of the Susanoo.
Kamihane was prepared to ignore such a mindless assault, but his Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly caught a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer. It seemed as though something was attached to the reanimated corpse's palm.
"Not good!" Kamihane's gaze instinctively focused on it. It wasn't just the palm—under the armpits, along the ribs, the inner thighs, even the soles of the feet... these usually unnoticed areas were all plastered with explosive tags!
Kamihane's expression changed abruptly as he suddenly recalled the original intent behind Tobirama's development of the forbidden technique, Edo Tensei. "That is..."
"Got you," Tobirama sneered coldly, "Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"
"BOOM!!!!!"
An immense white light instantaneously filled Kamihane's entire field of vision as the humanoid bomb detonated right before Kamihane's eyes.
This was not the end; with each explosion, numerous explosive tags were simultaneously summoned, conjuring even more explosive tags, creating an infinite chain of concentrated detonations!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
More reanimated corpses surged forward, pressing tightly against the Susanoo. Some took advantage of the chaos to leap up, firmly grasping the Susanoo's arms. The obsidian body of the Susanoo began to glow with a crimson light—each one a burning explosive tag!
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!!"
Thick flames filled the barrier within mere breaths, the boundary walls pulsating with each explosion. Billowing black smoke erupted like a volcanic eruption, pouring out in all directions.
One after another, flames erupted from the top of the barrier, transforming into burning wings that soared through the pitch-black sky.
A blinding white light pierced through the barrier, illuminating the area within a radius of several hundred meters as bright as day.
The light illuminated the crimson eyes of Tobirama, yet it failed to dispel the profound gloom deep within his gaze.
The attack before him was undeniably formidable. The continuous detonation of numerous explosive tags, the Four Red Yang Formation suppressing the flow of chakra, and the containment of the shockwaves to concentrate the explosive power, combined with the nature of the Impure World Reincarnation, ensured that the human bombs would never cease their assault. As long as there were enough explosive tags and he, the caster, did not call a halt, the onslaught could continue indefinitely.
This was not a battle; it was a form of alternate execution by a thousand cuts!
Tobirama was confident that even Uchiha Madara would be severely wounded if trapped within this barrier.
However, he was not certain he could kill Kamihane.
He knew that Kamihane possessed the ability of temporal regression, although the maximum time range he could regress was uncertain, but in this omnidirectional, seamless, and ceaseless explosion, even regression would be too late!
However... Kamihane still had his left eye.
Five years ago, ever since Kamihane ignored his Water Release and bisected his Shadow Clone with a single slash, he had deduced the ability of Kamihane's left eye's Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Adaptation!"
Although the sheer explosive attack seemed ferocious, it would still take some time to breach the Susanoo. He couldn't be certain whether Kamihane could successfully adapt to the damage of the explosive tags within such a short period.
Thinking of this, he immediately mobilized a portion of the Edo Tensei to slightly retreat from the center of the explosion, rushing to the edge of the barrier to unleash ninjutsu of the five elemental attributes.
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
"Fire Release: Majestic Dragon Flame Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Tiger Annihilation!"
...
Dozens of ninjas took their positions, one after another spitting out the Great Five Elemental Combo from their mouths, blending into the explosions!
Even if they were caught in the explosions, they would immediately form hand seals the moment their bodies were repaired. With the roar of wind and the rumble of thunder, the surge of water and the emergence of fire, countless ninjutsu directly submerged the Susanoo...
