Chapter 406

Looking at the students around him with their mouths open and eyes closed, Senju Tobirama, who had just recovered some state, felt his heart sink. These few brats were purely like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather; not only did they not provide him with any decent help, but they also got themselves involved.

Senju Tobirama took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Utatane Koharu, whose face was tense, and ordered.

"Koharu, go check their injuries."

"Yes."

Utatane Koharu nodded busily, flashed to the side of Mitokado Homura, who was spitting blood, and extended her hands glowing with green light, beginning to fulfill her duty as a nurse.

"Senju Tobirama, your disciples are nothing more than this."

Ginkaku stroked the Wild Tiger summon beast beside him, looking at the bitter-faced Senju Tobirama, his face full of the pleasure of revenge. Those two brats actually made him so embarrassed; this blow was already considered light.

"I believe the future belongs to them."

"Hehe."

Backhanding a kunai, Senju Tobirama prepared to fight to the death. Seeing this situation, Ginkaku grinned sinisterly, sharp tiger claws extended from his hands, deciding to torture this white-hair properly.

"Ginkaku, be quick. If Uchiha Madara is brought here, it will be troublesome."

Kinkaku, dragging his buzzing chainsaw, stood beside his younger brother, his tone carrying deep dread.

Hearing Uchiha Madara's name, Senju Tobirama's eyes lit up first, then quickly dimmed again. It was well known that he and Uchiha Madara didn't get along. The absence of the other's figure in this rescue already showed that the rift between the two was difficult to eliminate.

"Hmph! If I let that guy come to save me, I might as well just die."

Raising his hand to throw the kunai, Senju Tobirama formed seals rapidly with both hands. Vortex-shaped water spears extended from his palms, then he jumped high and raised his hand to throw the Hard Vortex Water Blade toward Ginkaku.

"This move again, a dying struggle."

Ginkaku curled his lip in disdain and immediately waved a few indigo claw strikes. The collision between the two sides erupted with a huge explosion, and the falling water droplets were like a rainstorm.

"I said it was useless, you... uh?"

Opening his hands to enjoy the baptism of the rainstorm, Ginkaku's words hadn't finished when the stinging pain on his body made him scream. He immediately looked down at the crimson seeping from his armor, his brows furrowed tightly. When did he get hit?

"It was you! Do you have any quality?"

As the heavy rain fell, the pain on Ginkaku's body grew more intense. Suspicious, he listed Senju Tobirama as the primary suspect. Sure enough, he saw the white-hair spitting toward the sky not far away.

"Was I discovered?"

Seeing that his secret killer move hadn't worked, Senju Tobirama closed his mouth in disappointment.

"Actually, even Heaven Weeping couldn't break the defense of the knight armor."

"Despicable white-hair, take my claw!"

Ginkaku shook off the blood seeping from his arm, took the tiger claws, and killed toward Senju Tobirama. His legs were as fast as lightning, and his seemingly heavy body disappeared from everyone's field of vision in the blink of an eye.

"Clang!"

Although Senju Tobirama's sensory perception was limited, his combat sense was still there. Relying on the consciousness tempered in years of life-and-death battles, he pulled out a kunai and stabbed backhand, narrowly blocking Ginkaku's sharp claws.

"Oh? Not bad reaction nerves~"

Ginkaku raised his brows in surprise, looking at Senju Tobirama who blocked his sneak attack, a look of admiration flashing in his eyes. You must know that his sneak attack arrival had never missed.

"Cut the crap, Water Severing Wave!"

Blocking Ginkaku's attack with one hand, the other hand formed seals rapidly. Accompanied by his cheeks puffing up high, a sharp water blade erupted from Senju Tobirama's mouth.

"Tsk."

Twisting his neck to dodge the water blade that was forcing his face, Ginkaku's disdain grew even stronger. Senju Tobirama, who was once unreachable in their brothers' eyes, was now so weak that he couldn't get excited.

"Thud!"

"Pfft!"

Raising his leg for a flying kick, he hit Senju Tobirama's wide-open abdomen straight on. Giant force entered his body, making him spit out some sour stomach acid, and his whole person flew backward at the same time, landing heavily on the ground.

"Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~"

Standing up while clutching his cramping abdomen, Senju Tobirama found that Ginkaku seemed to have lost interest, and his imposing aura was much weaker than before.

"Boring, this kind of revenge has no pleasure at all!"

Ginkaku didn't pay attention to the half-crippled Senju Tobirama and turned to complain to Kinkaku, who was watching the show.

"Don't underestimate me!"

This kind of insulting language was more uncomfortable than killing Senju Tobirama. Enduring the severe pain in his abdomen, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand to form seals. Rich water vapor condensed again, and the terrifying Water Release was ready to go.

As a result, the giant claw that suddenly appeared in front of him made him forcibly stop the action of forming seals, raising his hands in a defensive posture.

"Boom!"

However, how could the power of a Tailed Beast Knight be something a mortal body could contend with? Senju Tobirama was hit by a casual strike from Ginkaku, who had flashed over, causing his arm armor to shatter, and his bloody arms hung down powerlessly.

Sure enough, not everyone is Senju Hashirama, who can fight knights with a physical body.

"Teacher!"

Utatane Koharu, who was treating her classmates, saw this scene, and tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes. She had grown up so big, and this was the first time she had seen Senju Tobirama so embarrassed.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Feeling his hands, Senju Tobirama, with blood overflowing from his mouth, twitched his skin slightly.

Temporarily considered crippled.

"Big brother, you come to finish it. I'm not interested."

Ginkaku, who had finished waving a claw, left without looking back, handing the final blow to his big brother.

"Senju Tobirama, what else do you have to say?"

Kinkaku, with a steady aura, walked in front of the embarrassed Senju Tobirama, looking down at this nightmare of the Hagoromo clan, the hatred in his eyes growing slowly.

"..."

Facing Kinkaku's interrogation, Senju Tobirama didn't speak, his expression neither sad nor happy. Since the day he was born in the Ninja World, he had cast his life and death aside.

However, although he appeared very tough, his slightly worried eyes couldn't help but glance at his injured disciples.

"Worried about those little brats?"

Keenly noticing Senju Tobirama's little glance, Kinkaku revealed a meaningful smile and gestured to his brother behind him. Ginkaku understood instantly.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking at Ginkaku, who was slowly approaching Utatane Koharu, Senju Tobirama, who was stiffening his face, finally broke his defense, his eyes spitting fire, his angry voice nearly shattering his teeth.

"Hehe, what do you think?"

Kinkaku smiled slightly.

"Don't come over here!"

Even though Utatane Koharu had the strength of an elite Jonin, when facing a Tailed Beast Knight emitting a terrifying aura, she was no different from an ordinary weak woman. She pulled out a kunai to protect herself, her forcibly propped-up body trembling slightly.

"Bastard, what do you want to do to Koharu!?"

Danzo, who was in pain, gritted his teeth, reached out, and grabbed Ginkaku's lower leg tightly.

"Actually still conscious, you kid have a lot of guts~"

Ginkaku lowered his head, looking at the unyielding Danzo with appreciation. After evaluating him with a nod, he waved his hand casually, and blood splashed everywhere.

"Ah!"

Danzo, who was holding his head high, screamed, and a ferocious wound appeared on his chin. But he didn't let go, still grabbing Ginkaku's lower leg fiercely. The result was a impatient claw from the other party.

"Ah~!"

Danzo, who added another scar, screamed even louder. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was woken up by this scream, looked at the situation on the scene in a daze, his scattered eyes instantly clearing.

"Enma, help me!"

Bearing the severe pain all over his body, Sarutobi Hiruzen wiped the blood on his hands and activated the family's summoning technique. Following the rising white smoke, a young monkey brother wearing a tiger-skin skirt appeared on the field.

"Little monkey, why did you call me... goodbye~"

Enma, who was in high spirits, just prepared to show off, but then he saw two humanoid Tailed Beasts with terrifying auras. His high-standing tail instantly drooped, his face stiffened, and he blinked his eyes. Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's man-eating gaze, he turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared from where he was.

"Uh... was someone here just now?"

Because Enma went offline too quickly, the Gin-Kin brothers didn't see clearly, so they asked suspiciously.

"No one, it was a beast... hoo~"

Sarutobi Hiruzen struggled to straighten his body, feeling his bones were about to fall apart, and took a deep breath.

"Danzo, are you okay?"

Stepping forward to help up Danzo, whose face was stained with blood, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with concern.

"Hiss~ it's okay, just superficial wounds."

Reaching out to cover his chin where the flesh was turned out, Danzo endured the pain and shook his head.

"Yo~ this one woke up too?"

"Swish~"

Ginkaku's words had just fallen when a meteor hammer covered in spikes flew toward the back of his head, but he dodged it by turning his head.

"Super Push Hand!"

Before Ginkaku could turn his head to check on the guy who threw the hidden weapon, a pair of giant palms descended from the sky, smashing him heavily into the ground.

"Homura! Torifu! You guys..."

Utatane Koharu covered her mouth excitedly, and tears overflowed from her eyes instantly.

She saw Mitokado Homura, who was carrying a huge unfolded scroll and holding the wall with one hand, and Akimichi Torifu, who was emitting rich chakra aura, resurrected again.

"It was the girl's scream that woke us up."

Pushing up his cracked glasses, Mitokado Homura revealed a smile he thought was handsome.

"Huh?"

Utatane Koharu was stunned. She clearly hadn't screamed, right? In confusion, she shifted her gaze to Danzo, who was bandaging his chin wound, and the expression on her face instantly became strange.

"I can't hold on anymore!"

Before the few could clear up the misunderstanding, Akimichi Torifu, who used the Multi-Size Technique, had a hint of unhealthy flush on his chubby face.

"Boom!"

His body, which was more than ten meters high, was violently lifted. In the dust, the figure of the silver knight appeared.

"You little brats, isn't it good to just lie down obediently?"

Ginkaku patted the dust off his body, his face carrying a bit of helplessness. Their revenge was targeted and they didn't want to involve the innocent, so they hadn't dealt a fatal blow to the F6.

Otherwise, with just these few stinky fish and rotten shrimp, how could they have lasted a round under the Gin-Kin brothers?

"Our mission is to bring the teacher back safely."

The five-person squad assembled again. Although their state was not as good as before, the aura they emitted was much stronger. This was the metamorphosis that occurred when hovering between life and death.

"Attack! We still have a chance!"

The few looked at each other, and there was no fear on their faces. They still had trump cards left. As the temporary captain, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, and the battle started again.

"Multi-Size Technique!"

Akimichi Torifu, running at the very front, clapped his hands and turned into a mountain-like giant. His huge soles stepped heavily toward the tiny Ginkaku.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spat out a ferocious fire dragon. The dragon head opened wide, biting toward Ginkaku from the front, left, and right directions.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."

Enduring the severe pain in his chin, Danzo opened his mouth wide, and a hurricane erupted. It not only fueled Sarutobi Hiruzen's fire but also sealed Ginkaku's last path of escape.

"This is?"

Facing attacks from all directions, Ginkaku was just about to dodge when an abnormal sound rang out under his feet. He looked down in confusion, only to see several iron balls covered in explosive tags rolling beside his feet.

"Tool Manipulation: Explosive Fragment Jade."

Mitokado Homura, who threw out countless hidden weapons stored in the scroll with one hand, pushed up his glasses, which symbolized wisdom.

"Hi~ Konoha is really a good talent incubation base."

All paths of retreat were sealed. There was no fear on Ginkaku's face, but rather appreciation. He sighed that such talent hadn't been born in his own village.

"It seems that I have to get serious."

Reaching out to pull a card emitting golden light from the card box at his waist, Ginkaku's expression turned serious.

"SURVIVE."

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the electronic sound, a bone-chilling flame rose, freezing all the finishing moves released by the few.

"Ah!"

Akimichi Torifu, whose whole foot was frozen, screamed, and everyone's hearts sank at the same time.

"Click, click..."

Ginkaku, transformed into the survival form, walked out of the range of Akimichi Torifu's big feet with heavy steps. The attacks around him vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.

"My foot!"

Akimichi Torifu, who returned to normal size, clutched his big feet covered in frostbite, his face full of bitterness.

"To be able to force out this form of mine, you are enough to be proud."

Ginkaku's voice hit the hearts of the F6 like a heavy hammer. Their faces were gloomy, and looking at the gold-rimmed armor of the other party, deep despair welled up in their hearts.

"Kagami, don't you come out!"

Facing an invincible enemy, a thought flashed through everyone's minds at the same time. At such a life-and-death moment, they were still concerned about others. What an enviable bond this is~

"Senju Tobirama, this is all your fault. If it weren't for you, these little brats wouldn't have died."

On the other side, Kinkaku, who was staring at Senju Tobirama, watched his brother upgrade to the final form and began to launch a verbal offensive.

"Tsk."

Relying on the perverted physique of the Senju clan, Senju Tobirama's hands slightly recovered some feeling, but he still pretended to be powerless, and his face simultaneously revealed a painful expression to paralyze Kinkaku.

"This is a chance!"

Just as everyone on the field was fighting to the death, Uchiha Kagami, lurking in the pile of chaotic rocks, revealed a look of excitement in his scarlet eyes, with an eager expression.

In Uchiha Kagami's field of vision, after Ginkaku transformed into the final form, he clearly relaxed his vigilance, and the flaw behind him was wide open. If he could succeed in a sneak attack, he would turn the entire battle situation around.

"Just a little more relaxed, just a little bit!"

Uchiha Kagami pinched the short blade in his hand, his scarlet eyes not blinking for a moment.

"Little brats, whatever means you have, just use them all."

Having extraordinary confidence in his final form, Ginkaku looked at the few people in front of him who were looking like they were mourning, and arrogantly crossed his arms, cosplaying as Odin, the Great God who was best at slapping.

"I can still fight for one more chance for everyone."

Akimichi Torifu, who was limping, suddenly spoke.

Everyone turned their heads in unison. Akimichi Torifu silently took out a three-colored medicine box from his arms, his face carrying a resolute look.

"That is... three-colored medicine pills? Torifu, don't be impulsive!"

Everyone was a descendant of the former Ninja Clan Alliance, so how could they not recognize the secret medicine of the Akimichi clan?

"In this situation, it's death anyway, so it's better to fight."

Didn't expect that the most silent Akimichi Torifu would be the most radical one among them. No wonder there was no place for him in the Elder Council in the original work.

"Torifu, you are too radical!"

"Hiruzen, I am the one who starts the fight."

Facing his good friend's dissuasion, Akimichi Torifu didn't have any hesitation and resolutely swallowed all three medicine pills at once. Following the secret medicine entering his abdomen, rich chakra, as if substantial, rose from his plump body, piercing the clouds.

"Oh? Interesting."

Ginkaku looked at Akimichi Torifu emitting chakra not inferior to a Tailed Beast and touched his chin in surprise.

"That kid Torifu is still so reckless."

Senju Tobirama, who was being watched by Kinkaku, and Uchiha Gin, who was watching from the wall, shook their heads at the same time, with expressions of "hating iron for not becoming steel."

"Ya ya ya ya!"

The overloaded chakra suddenly expanded Akimichi Torifu's body, but he gritted his teeth and tried hard to compress the quality of the chakra.

"Ordinary people can't control so much chakra. This little fatty is probably going to cool down~"

Curling his lip, Ginkaku's gaze fell on Akimichi Torifu, whose figure was fluctuating in size, and the regret was plain to see.

"Torifu!"

The F6 clenched their fists tightly, their eyes full of worry.

"Ah ah ah!"

When the chakra in his body reached the critical point, Akimichi Torifu screamed, and a wave of air erupted from his whole body, stirring up dust that filled the sky. Everyone raised their hands to cover.

"That is... a butterfly?"

When the dust settled, everyone who raised their heads looked foolishly at the blue butterfly wings that covered the sky, speechless for a while.

"Butterfly Transformation Technique, huh..."

Looking at the gorgeous butterfly wings, Senju Tobirama finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart returned to his stomach.

"The current me is super strong!"

Controlling the butterfly wings behind him to flap, Akimichi Torifu, who slowly flew up, changed from a chubby little fatty into a little fresh meat with pink blush, which made Utatane Koharu's eyes light up.

"Big guys, I'm going first!"

Akimichi Torifu, who entered the Butterfly Transformation mode, nodded toward his teammates, then spread his wings and rushed toward Ginkaku, who was standing in place in a daze.

"Little fatty, your technique is not bad. Hand him over to me, maybe I can spare your life."

Ginkaku looked at Akimichi Torifu, who had transformed gorgeously, his eyes full of envy.

He wanted this technique, not for anything else, just purely wanting to become handsome.

"Dream on!"

With fists carrying rich blue light, Akimichi Torifu sneered at Ginkaku's words.

"Hmph~ don't be ungrateful. Even if you become like this, you still can't enter my eyes."

Ginkaku's dream of becoming handsome was shattered. He gritted his teeth in anger, raised his golden, shining fist, and was about to give Akimichi Torifu a taste of some good juice.

"This punch of mine is heavier than life."

Akimichi Torifu threw both fists out, delivering the most high-light punch of his life. Seeing this scene, the little friends behind him knew that they couldn't continue to OB anymore.

They quickly displayed their housekeeping skills to help Akimichi Torifu.

"Lightning Release: Roaring Thunder!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Consecutive Waves!"

"Tool Manipulation: Giant Iron Ball!"

For a time, galloping lightning, galloping wind bullets, and a giant iron ball with a diameter of more than ten meters all smashed toward Ginkaku, mixed with countless purple poison needles.

"Let you see the gap between us that is like a natural chasm."

Facing these attacks, Ginkaku didn't dodge. He backhanded a card with a fierce tiger image into the driver, and a tiger roar faintly sounded on his raised fist.

【FinalVent!】

【TigerRiderPunch!】

A roaring fierce tiger appeared behind Ginkaku. Following the swing of his fist, the silver fierce tiger flew out of his body, turned into a solid entity, and collided with the various attacks coming toward him.

"Roar!"

The huge lightning was bitten to pieces by the fierce tiger in one bite. Opening its mouth to swallow, all the wind bullets were sucked into its abdomen. Lifting its tiger claw, the iron ball flew backward, disappearing into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.

The senbon containing toxins were even evaporated into wisps of green smoke by the faint blue flames on the fierce tiger's fur.

The few who had finally released their bottom-of-the-box skills had only despair left in their eyes.

Just at this time, Akimichi Torifu, who was the only one not swallowed by the fierce tiger, spread his butterfly wings and rushed forward instead of avoiding. Chakra with butterfly wing patterns wrapped around his fists.

"Butterfly Bullet Bombing!"

Akimichi Torifu knew he only had one chance to strike, so he put all his eggs in one basket, smashing his huge fist heavily on the fierce tiger's "King" forehead.

"Boom!!!"

"Roar!"

The fierce tiger condensed from chakra actually let out a human-like scream. This time, even Ginkaku, who released it, was caught off guard.

The chakra with butterfly wing patterns broke through the fierce tiger's head and, without losing momentum, hammered toward Ginkaku's head.

"Snap!"

A withered fist hit the target heavily, but it didn't stir up half a ripple.

"Sorry... everyone."

The fist slipped powerlessly from Ginkaku's gorgeous faceplate. Akimichi Torifu, who had become skin and bones, burned his last bit of strength and, with endless regret, stopped here.

"You few little brats..."

Without finishing off Akimichi Torifu under his feet immediately, Ginkaku's voice was full of complex emotions.

"Crack~"

Following a crisp cracking sound, everyone's eyes on the scene focused on one point.

"Crack!"

The silver faceplate developed fine cracks and began to collapse with the position hit by Akimichi Torifu's fist as the center. A few seconds later, it revealed Ginkaku's eyes, which were full of complex emotions.

"I..."

Ginkaku just wanted to say something when he suddenly felt his eyes go black, and immediately after, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes full of magic.

"Whether it's illusion or reality, you have already lost!" (End of chapter)
