Chapter 405: Witness the Power of Our Bonds

Uchiha Gin, sitting comfortably in the best spectator seat, was eating snacks comfortably, watching the whole process of Senju Tobirama's ordeal with a leisurely face.

If there were a camera, he would have wanted to live-stream it in real-time to exchange for a wave of tips to subsidize his household expenses.

"You guys should at least poke his crotch! Anyway, the Bai Mao doesn't have any use for that thing."

Watching the somewhat sluggish Gin-Kin brothers, Uchiha Gin wished he could take their place and personally sanction this evil Senju Bai Mao.

After grumbling with dissatisfaction, he suddenly smelled an extremely obscure fragrance drifting in the air, and then he cast his gaze on several lurking figures not far away, doubt rising in his eyes.

"No, why did Kagami and the others come? Where is my cousin?"

Having seen the signal flare released by Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Gin had long been mentally prepared for Konoha's support.

But what he never expected was that the only people who came to support were the F6. Could it be that his cousin had guessed who was in danger and therefore deliberately didn't come?

Uchiha Madara: You really have a good eye~

"What's going on, Koharu, why isn't your poison working?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, hiding behind the chaotic rocks, looked at the Gin-Kin brothers in the distance who were completely unaffected and still jumping around, and couldn't help but turn to ask Koharu Utatane.

"Impossible, as long as they touch my poison gas, even an elephant would fall. It must be that the distance isn't enough; wait for me to release some more."

Koharu Utatane, who was releasing unknown gas with both hands, frowned deeply. Seeing her teammates questioning her ability, she immediately gathered her strength to increase the dosage. The few people around instantly smelled a cloying, sweet scent.

"Slow down, I'm a bit dizzy."

Even though the few had taken the antidote in advance, they were still smoked dizzy by the poison gas. Feeling his eyes go black, Shimura Danzo immediately complained.

"Danzo, wouldn't you be fine if you didn't stick so close? Torifu has been waiting for you over there for a long time, hurry up and go!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo, who was leaning close to Koharu Utatane's side, the blue veins on his forehead bulging. After taking a deep breath, he commanded coldly.

"Cough, cough, cough... I was just worried if Koharu's body could handle it. In case she fainted, I could catch her at the first moment."

Standing up sheepishly, Danzo explained his stalker behavior in a serious manner, which earned him disdainful looks from everyone.

Especially the person involved, Koharu, who took the initiative to move her body away from this big-bottomed stalker.

"Prepare for battle."

"But the toxicity hasn't taken effect yet!"

"Can't wait, Master is already lying down weakly. If we don't act now, we can only hold his seventh-day memorial service."

Uchiha Kagami, whose eyes were constantly watching the battlefield situation, saw Senju Tobirama suddenly collapse to the ground and immediately sounded the horn of battle. Facing the hesitation of the others, he quickly stated the stakes.

"Let's go!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and immediately adjusted their state, sneaking toward the Gin-Kin brothers.

"Big Brother? Why did he suddenly lie down? Could it be a trap?"

Gin Kaku looked suspiciously at Senju Tobirama, who had suddenly collapsed to the ground, and nudged Kin Kaku beside him.

"Very likely, this guy is famous for being slippery. He must have set a trap, waiting for us two brothers to take the bait."

Kin Kaku nodded in deep agreement, a faint look of disdain appearing on his face. He had already seen through Senju Tobirama's little tricks and would never be fooled.

"Uh... despicable guy, actually releasing poison gas. It seems he wants to capture me alive. For Konoha, I must not let them succeed!"

Senju Tobirama, who had taken a full dose of poison gas, lay on the ground, limp, without even the strength to lift a finger. His scarlet eyes carried a ruthless look.

Carrying the poison debuff, he gritted his teeth and slowly formed seals with his fingers. The explosive tags he had thrown out earlier were still lying on the ground without detonating. As long as he could successfully release the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, he could perish with these two guys.

Both sides, each with their own thoughts, had their own understanding. The Gin-Kin brothers chose to remain still; they wanted to see what Senju Tobirama was pretending to be.

And Senju Tobirama was waiting for the Gin-Kin brothers to step on his explosive tags before detonating them to maximize the damage.

Success!

When Senju Tobirama finished the last seal, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. A wisp of chakra broke through the blocked meridians, waiting at any moment to release its power.

Just a little closer, just a little bit!

Looking at the Gin-Kin brothers, who were as steady as Mount Tai not far away, Senju Tobirama, holding the detonator, didn't know how to lure the other party into the trap he had laid.

"Big Brother, could it be that he really is exhausted?"

Scratching his head, Gin Kaku said with a strange expression.

"That's good, you go over and take a look."

"Forget it, it's not too late to wait a bit longer."

Not daring to approach rashly, Gin Kaku shrank his neck and waved his hand to refuse.

"Damn it, so cautious, the intelligence was indeed a lie!"

Clearly, in the intelligence collected, the evaluation of the Gin-Kin brothers was "brave but without strategy." As a result, after several operations, it completely overturned Senju Tobirama's stereotypical impression of the Black Prison Boss.

These two muscle-heads were not brutes at all; they were practically the most steady players. Facing the half-crippled him, they still released poison, and after he fell, they still observed, fearing he was pretending.

"No other way, I have to explode. Big Brother, I'll go first~"

A look of despair emerged in his eyes. Senju Tobirama didn't want to be a prisoner, so he chose to detonate the explosive tags. However, just as he raised his hand, he found that the sky above his head suddenly became dark, and two huge figures descended from the sky.

"Secret Technique: Expansion Technique!"

"Butt Style: Butt Giant Technique!"

Only to see Akimichi Torifu, who had turned into the size of a small mountain, and Danzo, whose buttocks had become extremely plump, landed steadily, blocking between Senju Tobirama and the Gin-Kin brothers. The heavy-weight duo instantly stirred up dust that filled the sky.

"Master! We've come to save you!"

Leaving his plump buttocks to Senju Tobirama, Shimura Danzo turned his head and revealed a smile he thought was handsome.

"You... Pfft!"

Senju Tobirama looked blankly at the explosive tags pressed under the buttocks, hurriedly interrupting his Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique. As a result, he suffered the backlash of the technique, instantly causing his blood to flow backward, and he spat out a bright red arrow of blood from his mouth.

"Damn it, you two despicable guys, actually hurting Master like this!"

Seeing Senju Tobirama spitting blood, Danzo reached out indignantly, pointing at the bewildered Gin-Kin brothers, and scolded loudly.

"Uh... that Bai Mao shouldn't be hurt that badly, right?"

The Gin-Kin brothers looked at each other, seeing deep doubt in each other's eyes.

We've been wronged! They only forced the other party to exhaustion.

We hadn't even used our strength, and he collapsed.

"Torifu, attack!"

Taking advantage of the Gin-Kin brothers' distraction, Danzo backhanded several shuriken and signaled Akimichi Torifu beside him to go together.

"Super Push Palm!"

Akimichi Torifu was typically a man of few words. A trace of cruelty flashed across his baby face, which seemed to have no threat. His fist, which was already half a person's size, expanded again. Opening his palm like a small mountain, he slapped straight toward the two brothers.

"Hmph~"

Facing the aggressive Super Push Palm, the Gin-Kin brothers didn't dodge. Kin Kaku snorted coldly, rubbed his fist, and delivered a heavy punch carrying lightning toward Akimichi Torifu's palm.

"Boom!"

Feeling the stinging pain in his palm, Akimichi Torifu's face changed. A lightning-attribute chakra carrying terrifying destructive power flowed backward along his meridians.

"Uh..."

Grinning in pain, Akimichi Torifu hurriedly retracted his palm. After shrinking it back to normal size, he could still see the bursting electric light.

"Actually didn't break, kid, your physical fitness is not bad."

Looking at Akimichi Torifu's intact arm in surprise, Kin Kaku couldn't help but praise. That punch just now was enough to instantly destroy a Jonin's meridians and turn him into a cripple.

"Phew~"

Fortunately, Akimichi Torifu had eaten Poro biscuits. The side effect of that epic-level enhancement not only increased his body size significantly but also widened his meridians and strengthened his body's resilience, which allowed him to be preserved under Kin Kaku's attack.

"Partial Expansion Technique!"

Facing the super-powerful Tailed Beast Knight, Akimichi Torifu knew he couldn't relax. Bearing the numbness that hadn't yet passed, he expanded his feet and delivered a side kick toward Kin Kaku.

"Then I'll play with you~"

Kin Kaku sneered, and his purple figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Ha ha ha ha, kid, your butt... ha ha ha ha!"

On the other side, Danzo, who was confronting Gin Kaku, received the expected extreme mockery. Only to see the other party holding his stomach, laughing extremely wantonly, which could be heard clearly from miles away.

"Hmph!"

Danzo, who had long been used to it, just snorted coldly. Then, while the other party was laughing out of breath, he puffed out his cheeks.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!"

Several wind bullets, invisible to the naked eye, shot straight at Gin Kaku.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

As a result, Danzo's attack only made a few sounds and then vanished into heaven and earth. Gin Kaku, who straightened his waist, patted his brand-new armor, his expression very proud.

"Don't waste your strength, ordinary ninjutsu can't break our defense at all."

"Tsk."

Danzo clicked his tongue, smelling the rich fragrance around him, unable to figure out why these two people weren't poisoned. Koharu had opened the dosage to the point of being visible to the naked eye.

"Master! Take the antidote pill first."

Just as Danzo and the other attracted the Gin-Kin brothers' attention, Koharu Utatane sneaked to the side of the collapsed Senju Tobirama, stuffed a black pill into his mouth, and then her hands glowed with green light.

"I'll heal you right away!"

"Cough, cough, cough... Antidote pill? You guys released this poison?"

After struggling to swallow the bitter antidote pill, Senju Tobirama's expression became incomparably strange. He had thought it was the Gin-Kin brothers playing tricks, but it turned out he had fallen into his own disciple's hands.

"Yes, but why didn't those two guys get poisoned?"

Koharu Utatane, who was healing, had a face full of confusion. Her poison had been personally guided and formulated by Gin San-San; how could it fail?

"Because our face masks come with an air purification function."

Just as Senju Tobirama was concentrating on receiving treatment, a voice full of mockery rang in his ear. Only to see Kin Kaku, dragging Akimichi Torifu, who had recovered to normal human size, walking toward them slowly.

"So... sorry."

Akimichi Torifu, bruised and purple all over, with two big panda eyes, had a face full of apology on his unrecognizable face.

Facing the transformed Kin Kaku, Akimichi Torifu only lasted for one minute before being beaten into a pig's head, and that was while the other party was holding back.

"Damn it, so that's how it is."

Learning the truth about the failure of the poison gas, Koharu Utatane hammered the ground fiercely, her beautiful eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Butt Style: Butt Return!"

Not far away, facing the claws waved by Gin Kaku, Danzo gritted his teeth and used the Butt Return technique to resist.

"Rip~"

The result was predictable. Danzo's abnormally plump buttocks were clawed with countless bloody tracks, and dark red blood flowed along his butt crack to the ground, forming a small river.

"Plop!"

Danzo, kneeling on the ground, dispelled the Giant Butt Technique. His black pants were torn into strips, hanging behind his scarred buttocks, fluttering in the wind, and one could see the bloody, ferocious wounds.

"Are there only three of you who came?"

Senju Tobirama, whose face had recovered some blood, looked at his three disciples with a solemn face.

"They..."

"Boom!"

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet."

A brown mudslide suddenly erupted from one side of the canyon. Seeing this, the Gin-Kin brothers immediately jumped up to dodge. The earth bullets splashing out of the mudslide smashed straight toward them.

"Mere mud balls..."

Disdain appeared on the two brothers' faces. Don't take out this level of ninjutsu to lose face, okay?

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

As a result, the next moment, scorching flames wrapped around the splashing earth bullets, turning into scorching lava, and the destructive power doubled directly.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The two couldn't dodge in time and were hit by the burning earth bullets, instantly producing huge fireworks. The permeating steam instantly filled the entire battlefield.

"Master! Run!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had successfully launched a surprise attack with the composite ninjutsu, had a look of joy on his face. After landing, he immediately greeted everyone to retreat.

"Kid, you dirtied my armor."

Just as the words fell, a large hand covered with tentacles pressed onto Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder. Only to see Kin Kaku, covered in mud, looking at him with a cold face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who instantly felt cold all over, felt as if he had seen his deceased relatives waving at him in the Pure Land.

"Ninja Tool: Hidden Weapon Strike!"

Just at this critical moment, countless ninja tools carrying cold light fell like a rainstorm. Only to see Mitokado Homura, carrying several large scrolls, standing on the hillside of the canyon, trying his best to tilt his inventory.

"Clatter, clatter~"

Although the damage of the ninja tool attack wasn't great, it interfered with the Gin-Kin brothers to a certain extent. Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others saw this and immediately helped up the weak Senju Tobirama, preparing to flee the battlefield.

"Don't think about running!"

But how could the Gin-Kin brothers let Senju Tobirama escape under their noses? Gin Kaku raised his hand and clawed at Mitokado Homura, who was pouring out ninja tools, scaring the other party into a shiver and immediately bowing his body to dodge.

"Slap!"

The blue claw strike grazed Mitokado Homura's scalp and gouged out a giant pit half a person's size on the cliff behind him.

"Did I let you go?"

After stopping this rain of ninja tools, the Gin-Kin brothers looked at Senju Tobirama and the others who were preparing to run away, clenching their sandbag-sized fists until they creaked.

"You shouldn't have come. This is not a battle you can participate in."

Senju Tobirama was naturally moved by his disciples' desperate rescue, but thinking that they might lose their lives here, he felt a bit heartbroken.

The F6 were the pillars of Konoha's future. If they were all wiped out, Konoha would have a generational gap.

He couldn't let that curly-haired guy take over, could he?

"Master, we will cover your escape. We few are not worth mentioning, but Konoha cannot be without you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen drew the samurai sword from behind and stood in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Master, remember to tell my father when you go back that I, Danzo, am not a coward!"

Danzo followed closely, sticking out his bloody buttocks, standing resolutely with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I can still fight!"

Akimichi Torifu, who had been thrown aside like trash by Kin Kaku, stood out. He held a medicine box with three colors in his hand. His pig-head-like face couldn't show any expression, but his resolute gaze couldn't be faked.

"I can also fight!"

Koharu Utatane gritted her teeth, pulled out a slender senbon and pinched it between her fingers. Mitokado Homura, who was carrying the storage scroll on the hillside, also landed and stood with his classmates. He pushed his glasses, his tone extremely firm.

"Me too!"

"You... wait, where is Kagami?"

Senju Tobirama looked at the disciples standing in front of him, a trace of warmth flashing in his cold heart. After glancing over the few people, he was suddenly stunned.

"Kagami is..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen just wanted to explain that Uchiha Kagami had a more important mission, but was interrupted by Senju Tobirama, who looked relieved.

"Don't blame Kagami, he must have his own difficulties."

Mistakenly thinking that Uchiha Madara had restricted Uchiha Kagami's actions, Senju Tobirama shook his head, appearing deep and righteous.

"Huh?"

"As a teacher, I can still move. Later, I will fight for a chance for you to escape!"

Senju Tobirama, who had recovered some chakra, stretched his muscles and bones. His gaze gradually changed from soft to sharp. After drawing a kunai, he gave the last order to his disciples.

"If we go, we go together!"

The few shook their heads at the same time.

"This is an order!"

Senju Tobirama frowned. He didn't want these few promising disciples to be buried with him.

"We cannot obey."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. Both hands began to form seals rapidly. Seeing this action, Danzo beside him understood and formed seals in sync with him. A few seconds later, their cheeks puffed out, and scorching energy and hurricanes poured out.

"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique."

"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere!"

Only to see a ferocious fire dragon spit out. Under the blessing of the hurricane, it expanded several times. In front of its wide-open mouth hung a wind bullet exuding violent energy, and then it turned into a stream of flame, aiming straight at the Gin-Kin brothers.

【Combo Technique: Dragon-Holding Jade】

"Hey, not bad~"

Watching the bond combo technique of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, Uchiha Gin, who was watching the show from above, couldn't help but applaud their friendship.

"This move has some level, but against the Gin-Kin brothers, it's still a bit lacking."

"Big Brother! Let me handle it."

Facing the ferocious fire dragon rushing toward him, Gin Kaku revealed an eager expression. He hadn't seen this level of ninjutsu for a long time.

"Be careful, this move is not simple."

Kin Kaku didn't refuse. His gaze fell on the fire dragon carrying the hurricane, a trace of faint surprise flashing in his eyes.

Konoha's young people actually had this level; the little guys in the village should have a sense of crisis.

This combo technique was something Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo had developed after researching for a long time. Unlike the combo ninjutsu released by a single person, this combo technique had extremely high requirements for the tacit understanding of the two. If there was the slightest mistake, it would fail and then backfire on the caster.

"Phew~ can it work?"

The two who finished releasing the ninjutsu exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at the growing fire dragon with lingering fear, praying secretly in their hearts.

"Hiruzen, Danzo, when did you develop this technique?"

Senju Tobirama, who saw the doorway of this combo technique on the side, had a strange light in his eyes.

Although this move looked like a simple ninjutsu combo, under the blessing of the Vacuum Great Sphere, the fire dragon of the Great Dragon Fire would only grow bigger and bigger, and the power it caused was comparable to a forbidden technique.

"It's been a while, but we haven't used it in actual combat."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained, and Danzo nodded in agreement, his eyes full of brilliance.

"Boom!"

Just as the few were communicating, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded, and then a heat wave struck. Senju Tobirama was quick-eyed and released the Water Formation Wall to block the scorching flames.

"This power..."

Everyone looked at the miserable state in front of them and swallowed their saliva subconsciously. Only to see the cliff of the canyon bitten out of a gap by the giant dragon, and the position where the Gin-Kin brothers stood was blasted into a deep pit dozens of meters deep. The two were nowhere to be seen, their life or death unknown.

"We won?"

Just as they were about to open the champagne, everyone discovered Kin Kaku's burly figure descending from the sky, and Gin Kaku standing behind him, his armor shattered in many places, revealing his strong muscles.

"Phew~ kid, your move is really ruthless."

Gin Kaku grinned in pain. To take this Dragon-Holding Jade move head-on just now, he had paid a not-so-small price. If Kin Kaku hadn't helped him, he might have been beaten until he dispelled his transformation.

"Meat Bullet Tank!"

The F6 exchanged glances and reacted quickly. Akimichi Torifu took the lead to pull the aggro, his huge body turning into a meatball, rolling toward the Gin-Kin brothers. Mitokado Homura unfolded the scroll, releasing countless ninja tools to provide cover for his teammates.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo weren't idle either, trying to release the combo technique again. As a result, before they could finish forming the seals, Akimichi Torifu's huge body flew back.

"Slap!"

Akimichi Torifu smashed heavily into the cliff behind him, his body shrinking rapidly like a deflated balloon, and then he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Torifu!"

Mitokado Homura's heart tightened. The next moment, the shadow of death shrouded his head. Only to see Kin Kaku standing behind him at some point, his sandbag-sized fist falling.

"Swish~"

Just at this moment, a kunai shot toward Kin Kaku's face from a tricky direction. The water blade wrapped around it forced him to dodge, and the force of the falling fist lightened a bit.

"Boom!"

Mitokado Homura, spitting blood, lay on the ground, losing his ability to fight.

"Damn it."

Senju Tobirama, who threw the kunai, had eyes nearly spitting fire. Just as he was about to say something harsh, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two in front of him were knocked away by a silver figure, smashing heavily into the wall, blood flowing from their mouths.

"Sneak-attack tiger, not bad~"

"Meow~ roar!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
