Chapter 103: An unprecedented war

Outside the courtyard.

Hiashi Hyuga and the others were still shocked by the appearance of the First and Second Hokage.

They hadn't expected them to have already started a war with Shi Yuan!

More importantly, the Uchiha, who had fallen out with Konoha, had actually joined forces with them!

The series of changes left them overwhelmed, their minds unable to react in time.

Especially those who were looking forward to cooperating with Shi Yuan but hadn't reached an agreement yet; they were completely stunned.

Inoichi Yamanaka’s face darkened, and he whispered:

"It seems our Yamanaka clan has no chance to cooperate with Shi Yuan now!"

After he finished speaking, Shikaku Nara beside him coughed, and Inoichi’s face immediately became awkward.

After all, Konoha had already started a war with Shi Yuan, and he was still thinking about cooperating with him; no matter how Itachi looked at it, it was wrong.

But now, no one cared whether what Inoichi said was right or wrong.

Because, except for the Nara clan and the Akimichi clan, no other clans had reached a cooperation agreement with Shi Yuan.

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

These clans couldn't help but regret not making a deal sooner.

"Do Itachi think there’s any possibility of Shi Yuan winning?" Tsume Inuzuka whispered.

Inoichi sighed.

"Four pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, plus the First and Second Hokage; even if they aren't at their peak, with this lineup, I’m afraid even if Madara Uchiha were resurrected, he couldn't win."

"As for Shi Yuan... there is not the slightest possibility of victory!"

Hiashi Hyuga and the others nodded silently.

Indeed, no one thought Shi Yuan could win.

However, Tsume Inuzuka couldn't help but say: "It would be great if we could capture Shi Yuan alive."

Hiashi Hyuga and the others’ eyes lit up at these words.

They hurriedly went to the nearby rooftops to observe the situation in the courtyard.

Hoping to be able to capture Shi Yuan alive!

……

In the courtyard.

"Give us war? Kid, before Itachi talk big, let your real body come over first!"

"Itachi don't think a mere Wood Release clone is qualified to fight us, do Itachi!"

The Second Hokage sneered incessantly.

With his older brother Hashirama there, a Wood Release clone couldn't hide from his perception at all.

Hiss!!!

Fugaku and the others, however, had their expressions change drastically.

"This is actually a Wood Release clone?!"

Thinking of Shi Yuan’s previous performance, their expressions became extremely grave.

Even if a Wood Release clone was somewhat special, the gap in strength between a clone and the real body was huge.

They couldn't imagine how strong Shi Yuan’s real body would be.

The Second Hokage, however, was very calm.

He had spent his whole life in the battles between his older brother Hashirama Senju and the monster Madara Uchiha.

He didn't believe Shi Yuan could be stronger than his brother!

"Once Itachi defeat my clone, Itachi will naturally be able to see my real body!"

Shi Yuan was extremely calm and didn't care about his identity being exposed.

A cold light flashed in the Second Hokage’s eyes.

But before he could speak, the First Hokage stepped forward, pressed his palms together, and said with a serious expression:

"Although Itachi are a junior, since Itachi want to destroy Konoha, Itachi are my enemy!"

"Don't blame me!"

Watching the First Hokage about to make a move.

Fugaku and the others were instantly energized!

Not just them, even Hiashi Hyuga and the others on the rooftops couldn't help but stand up and lean forward, as if wanting to see more clearly.

After all, what they were about to witness next was the battle of the legendary First Hokage!

Shi Yuan grinned, not only not afraid, but instead becoming excited.

"Come on! Let me witness your Wood Release!"

Boom!!!

A terrifying amount of chakra erupted from the First Hokage’s body.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom!"

Crack, crack!

The ground cracked, and delicate seedlings sprouted, instantly turning into towering trees under the support of the First Hokage’s terrifying amount of chakra.

The towering trees gathered around the First Hokage, like a huge fan shape.

Fugaku, the Second Hokage, and the others leaped up, arriving at the tops of the towering trees, looking down at Shi Yuan.

Then.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The thick roots and vines of these towering trees shot out like cannonballs.

Dozens of vines over a meter thick surged toward Shi Yuan like a wave dozens of meters high.

The terrifying speed even produced a sharp whistling sound.

The earth was shaking crazily!

The terrifying visual impact made one’s heart tremble!

"So strong!"

"This is the legendary Wood Release!"

"Too terrifying, it changed the terrain in an instant!"

Countless Konoha ninja watched this scene in shock.

Even Fugaku, who had activated his Mangekyo, felt incredibly shocked.

This kind of overwhelming offensive, just looking at it, made one feel immense pressure.

But Shi Yuan laughed.

"This level is not enough!"

"Thunder Waterfall!"

Rumble!!!

The sound of thunder rang out.

A large amount of Lightning Release chakra surged from his hands, flashing with a bright, blinding light.

Then, these two balls of light exploded!

Like two huge thunder waterfalls originating from his hands,

Thunder poured out!

Rumbling!

The terrifying sound of thunder was deafening.

As the Thunder Waterfall moved further away from Shi Yuan, the area it covered grew larger and larger.

Finally, the two thunder waterfalls merged, turning into a terrifying thunder wave several meters high.

It collided fiercely with the surging Wood Release giant wave!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Terrifying explosions rang out one after another.

Countless Wood Release techniques began to explode the moment they collided with the thunder, shattering into countless fragments of wood and sawdust, flying in the air.

And as the Wood Release continued to pour in, it was suppressing the thunder, slowly closing in on Shi Yuan!

……

The sudden outbreak of battle made the entire Konoha chaotic.

Even though the Third Hokage and Danzo hurriedly arranged for the Anbu to manage the situation, countless people were still panicked.

At this moment, everyone was watching this scene, feeling incredibly shocked.

This was the legendary First Hokage!

Too strong!

Shi Yuan wasn't surprised to see this scene.

After all, this was just a Wood Release clone; his chakra volume couldn't compare to the First Hokage’s.

Not to mention that Lightning Release consumed far more chakra than Wood Release.

It was a pity that a Wood Release clone could only perform simple Wood Release techniques and couldn't compete with the First Hokage.

"Since that's the case!"

Shi Yuan’s expression turned sharp, and his figure suddenly retreated violently.

"Tailed Beast Bomb!"

Hum—

A large amount of chakra began to condense in his mouth, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

Fugaku and the others felt their hearts jump as they looked at that terrifying chakra ball.

"What is that thing? Why does it feel like a Tailed Beast Bomb?!" Fugaku exclaimed.

"I’m afraid that is a Tailed Beast Bomb!"

A flash of shock also crossed the Second Hokage’s eyes.

He knew very well that there were a few people in the ninja world who had reached the level of chakra to condense a Tailed Beast Bomb.

But they couldn't do it!

Because a Tailed Beast Bomb was a product born from the fusion of human chakra and Tailed Beast chakra.

But now, he had done it relying solely on his own chakra!

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

"Therefore, he must die!"

The Second Hokage didn't regret opposing Shi Yuan.

Because he knew very well that if Shi Yuan couldn't be dealt with now, the entire ninja world would live under his shadow in the future.

It was better to strike now; even if they failed, the result would be the same anyway.

Below.

A flash of admiration crossed the First Hokage’s eyes.

"Not a jinchuriki but able to use a Tailed Beast Bomb, Itachi are indeed very powerful; this is something even Madara couldn't do!"

"However, this is Konoha, I can't let Itachi destroy it!"

Just as Shi Yuan suddenly opened his mouth to spit it out.

Boom!!!

Where the terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb passed, the ground was blasted into a deep ravine by the violent energy.

But!

The First Hokage pressed his palms together and roared:

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Boom!

A giant hand broke through the ground and grabbed the Tailed Beast Bomb!

Firmly holding the Tailed Beast Bomb in its hand!

Then it threw it directly out of Konoha’s range.

Rumble!!

In the distance, a loud explosion occurred, the earth shook, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose.

Hiss!!!

Fugaku and the others watched this scene in horror, their eyes almost popping out.

This was a Tailed Beast Bomb!

Even on a battlefield like the Great Ninja War, it was a weapon of mass destruction, and it had been thrown away by the First Hokage just like that?!

Too crazy!!!

The Second Hokage stared at Shi Yuan, looking for an opportunity to strike, and said:

"Get ready to strike at any time!"

Fugaku and the others were energized.

The First Hokage’s power gave them hope of defeating Shi Yuan, and they didn't want to miss any possible opportunity.

"As expected of the First Hokage!"
