Chapter 347 - Tobirama vs Hashirama 02

Tobirama vs Hashirama

Deciding to change tactics, Tobirama formed quick hand seals. "Water style: Water Shockwave."

A large amount of water quickly formed from the atmosphere and surrounded the second Hokage in a large swirling vortex. The next moment it surged forward with great speed towards its target.

Hashirama reacted instantly, slamming his hands onto the ground. "Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall!" Wooden pillars erupted from the earth, forming a barrier that absorbed the water attack.

Using the cover of the steam generated from the clash, Tobirama vanished into the mist.

Hashirama stood motionless, his eyes scanning through the mist. Suddenly, kunai knives laced with explosive tags flew at him from multiple angles. Hashirama weaved signs. "Wood Style: Branch Shield!" A dome of intertwined branches enveloped him, the explosions rocking the forest but leaving him unharmed.

Suddenly the Second Hokage appeared behind Hashirama, having marked him earlier. "Now!" He thrust his hand forward, releasing a torrent of water needles. "Water Style: Thousand deadly needles!"

Hashirama turned, his eyes meeting Tobirama's. "Wood Style: Great Forest Technique!" His arm transformed into multiple wooden tendrils, intercepting the water needles and extending toward the enemy.

Tobirama jumped back, forming new seals. "Water Style: Water Encampment Wall!" A protective sphere of water enveloped him as the wooden tendrils smashed against it.

Tobirama decided to employ Genjutsu. He locked eyes with Hashirama. "Bringer of Darkness Technique!" The entire area plunged into pitch-black darkness, disorienting Hashirama. However, Hashirama's body glowed faintly as he released a burst of chakra. "Genjutsu Release." The darkness dissipated, and his eyes found Tobirama immediately.

'Of course, his chakra control is too strong,' Tobirama thought, bracing himself as Hashirama formed new hand seals.

"Wood Style: Silent Strangle Technique!" Roots silently broke through the ground beneath Tobirama, wrapping around his ankles and climbing rapidly to ensnare him.

Tobirama felt the constriction and channeled chakra to his legs. "Body Flicker Technique!" He disappeared in a blur, the roots snapping shut on empty air.

He formed a series of rapid hand seals, his chakra flaring. "Water Style: Grand Waterfall Technique!" A massive torrent of water materialized, crashing down toward Hashirama like a tsunami.

Hashirama responded by slamming both palms onto the ground. "Wood Style: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!" Even at a fraction of his power, enormous trees sprouted, their branches intertwining to form a barrier. The water crashed against the wooden fortress, the impact sending mist and debris flying.

Tobirama didn't let up. "Lightning Release: Thunder Spear!" He generated a spear of lightning in his hand, hurling it toward Hashirama's position. The spear pierced through the trees, emitting a blinding flash.

An explosion erupted as the lightning spear met something solid. The ground shook and threes nearby toppled.

'Something big is coming.' Tobirama squinted through the smoke to see Hashirama unharmed, standing atop a newly formed wooden golem.

"A wooden golem?" Tobirama exclaimed. The Second Hokage quickly analyzed the jutsu. 'It's nowhere near as big as the one he usually uses. But still.. To use this jutsu...'

Even though he was fighting his brother under terrible circumstances, Tobirama couldn't help but sport a small smile. "He's adapting. As expected from you brother."
