Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

When Senju Hashirama, with his long black hair, dressed in a black tight combat suit and wearing a maroon layered armor, stepped out of the coffin, the Third Raikage immediately broke into a cold sweat.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

Although the Third Raikage had never seen Senju Hashirama, the God of Ninjas, he had heard many stories about him from the First and Second Raikages.

He had heard about Hashirama overpowering Uchiha Madara, pacifying the Land of Fire, and speeding up the formation of the other four great shinobi villages.

There were also stories of him capturing the Tailed Beasts and distributing them to other villages.

What scared him the most was the battle between Hashirama and Madara at the Valley of the End, where their fight destroyed the landscape, turning an entire forest into a valley.

The Third Raikage couldn't even imagine a battle that could alter the terrain on such a scale.

So, when he faced the God of Ninjas for the first time, he was immediately intimidated.

Having dealt with Senju Tobirama was difficult enough, but now Hashirama appeared. Without any backup, the Third Raikage began to think about retreating.

"Tobirama, you've gotten a bit older. I must've been dead for quite a while, huh?"

"Not really, just about four or five years."

"I see."

Hashirama pointed at the Third Raikage and asked, "Who is he?"

"He's the Third Raikage."

"The Cloud Village has had a Third Raikage now? What about their Second?"

"He died, killed by the Gold and Silver Brothers."

"Then why did you summon me? You want me to help you fight?"

At this point, Hashirama patted Tobirama's shoulder and said seriously, "Big brother's already dead. Unless it's something important, don't trouble the dead."

Hashirama had a lot of respect for his younger brother Tobirama's abilities.

Aside from himself and Madara, he didn't think Tobirama would lose in a one-on-one fight against anyone else.

Even if Tobirama couldn't win, he could always escape using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Hashirama had always opposed Tobirama's research into the Reanimation Jutsu, and now that he had been summoned without any life-threatening danger, he felt just a little bit dissatisfied with his brother.

"Fighting is secondary. The reason I called you out is because I have something else to discuss with you."

"Discuss with me?"

Hashirama waved his hand. "Tobirama, you're already a mature Hokage. If there's something, just make your own decision."

Tobirama gave him an odd look and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. You've always been more decisive than me. As long as you think it's right, I, as your older brother, will support you unconditionally."

"Alright, with your word, I'm good."

Receiving the confirmation from Senju Hashirama, Tobirama, who wasn't usually one to smile, couldn't help but let a small smile form on his face.

"Okay, the main issue is settled. Now, let's deal with the secondary one."

With that, Senju Hashirama turned to the Third Raikage and said, "How about you just run away?"

The Third Raikage clenched his fists, clearly angry.

He was the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village. Even if his opponent was the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, he couldn't just be humiliated like this.

They hadn't even fought yet, and Hashirama was already telling him to run. It was clear that Hashirama was looking down on him.

The Third Raikage had lived for many years and had never been humiliated like this before.

Senju Tobirama: Six months ago 

Third Raikage: Shut your mouth.

"Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!"

The Third Raikage's anger kept building, and he ignored the honor of combat, launching his most powerful attack, transforming into a lightning bolt and charging at Senju Hashirama. 

"Whoosh~"

Hashirama couldn't dodge in time, or maybe he simply didn't want to. The Four-Finger Nukite pierced right through Hashirama's Reanimated body.

Senju Tobirama was not in a Reanimated body, so he didn't have immortality. Upon noticing that the Third Raikage was about to attack, he immediately used Flying Thunder God to dodge.

Not long after, Senju Hashirama recovered, touched the chest where he had been stabbed, and sighed, "This technique is really powerful."

"It's because your body is too weak, big brother."

With a whoosh, Senju Tobirama reappeared next to Hashirama.

"Yeah, it's a bit lacking. I can probably only use about 30% of my strength."

After sensing the strength his body could exert, Senju Hashirama looked at Tobirama and asked, "What are you thinking? Do you want to kill him, or do you have another plan?"

Tobirama shook his head. "If he dies, it'll cause a lot of trouble. Big brother, just hold him off. I'll take the chance to retreat."

"Just hold him off? That should be enough with 30% strength."

"Alright, then. You can have fun with him. I'll slip away first."

"Go ahead. When the time is right, I'll release the Reanimation Jutsu on my own."

"Understood."

Tobirama wasn't surprised that Hashirama could release the Reanimation Jutsu by himself. 

If Hashirama couldn't release it, that would be surprising to Tobirama.

"How outrageous."

The Third Raikage had just destroyed Senju Hashirama's Reanimated body, thinking it would attract the attention of the two Hokage of Konoha.

But what he didn't expect was that these two didn't care at all. Instead, they were casually chatting as if he wasn't even there.

And the content of their conversation made him absolutely furious.

What did they mean by "Senju Hashirama can hold me off with just 30% of his strength"?

Does that mean that with 40% of his strength, Hashirama could defeat him?

With 50% of his strength, Hashirama could kill him?

With 60% of his strength, Hashirama could crush him?

It was absurd.

Uncle can't tolerate this anymore~

"Hell Stab: Three-Finger Nukite!"

Hell Stab was a unique ninjutsu developed by the Third Raikage.

The attack, which is like a lightning strike, can penetrate any defense. In addition, reducing the number of fingers used makes this technique even more advanced. 

This is because by using fewer fingers, the contact area becomes smaller, so the force becomes more concentrated, creating an astonishing penetrating power. 

This technique is the most powerful attack of the Third Raikage and is also known as the strongest spear.

"Whoosh~"

The reanimated body of Senju Hashirama was once again destroyed by the Third Raikage.

At that moment, Senju Tobirama had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to quietly slip away.

"As expected, this move is really powerful."

The reformed reanimated body of Senju Hashirama excitedly watched the Third Raikage's finger.

"You've already made your move, now it's my turn."

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Bloom"

With a slap of his large hand, Senju Hashirama caused numerous trees to grow rapidly from the ground within a ten-meter radius.

As the trees broke through the earth, they began charging toward the Third Raikage.

"This is the legendary Wood Style?"

While dodging the attacking trees, the Third Raikage also took a moment to feel the strength of the technique.

To be honest, the Wood Style that the ninja world had hyped up to be so incredible didn't seem all that impressive to him.

It left him slightly disappointed!
