A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 173: Cats and Mice

Tetsuya decided not to wait and attacked first.

He's coming! Hashirama shouted as he watched the formidable tree warrior move towards them

Kneading the sand, he quickly moved towards the four Kage, holding a huge naginata in his hands.

Coming close enough, the warrior made a powerful stabbing blow in the face with the Thousand-handed Truth. Right in the place where Tobirama and Hashirama were standing.

Dangerous! Hashirama exclaimed, feeling the force with which naginata was coming at him

At first he thought of making a shield out of the many hands that were on the back of Truth, but then he changed his mind. Those hands were too weak before such an attack, so he decided to use two main hands to defend against the attack.

Just before the blow, the statue of Hashirama managed to catch the naginata blade between his palms, but it didn't end there.

The force with which this attack was coming was terrifying. The giant's hands began to crack and crack in the area of the elbows, and the statue itself "rode" on the sand back from Tetsui's blow.

Madara! Hashirama shouted, sweating. He managed to survive this attack, but he is unlikely to survive the second such attack in a row.

Understood. said Uchiha and Susanoo jumped into the attack from the shoulder of the giant right on Tetsuya

Tetsuya smiled, and his warrior abruptly pulled naginata out of the hands of the statue of Hashirama, no matter how he tried to disarm him. Moreover, the giant's huge hands still cracked and broke at the elbows.

Bringing the naginata, Tetsuya retaliated by attacking Susanoo flying at him, who looked like a doll compared to the warrior.

Madara frowned and tried to defend himself by putting up his blades in defense, but naginata cut through them with ease.

This is bad! frowning, Uchiha said, and tried to dodge, but naginata's blade was faster

A moment before Susanoo was cut in half, Tobirama, with the help of hiraishin, moved him back to the shoulder of the statue of Hashirama.

Don't expose yourself. Tobirama said, looking at Madara

Uchiha twitched an eyebrow He cut through Susanoo's blades like butter, which means we have serious problems.

Sarutobi grinned, folding the seals Kage, and didn't we know initially that this was far from an equal fight? Doton: The Technique of the Vast Earth!

Two huge slabs rose out of the sand and grabbed the Warrior like tesks, pinching him.

At the same time, the Sarutobi clones finished folding the seals.

Righton: The Trap of Four Columns!

Four columns appeared from the ground around the Warrior and bound him with lightning.

Swithon: The Great Water Dragon!

Next, a huge water dragon quickly got close to the Warrior and wrapped his body like a snake, immobilizing him.

Futon: Vacuum Bullets!

Cato: Great Fireball!

Vacuum bullets flew in a scattering at the Warrior, but did not cause him any harm, in fact, as did a huge fireball that could not even set him on fire.

The rest of the Kage also did not stand still.

Hashirama, controlling the statue, launched hundreds of hands into Tetsuya.

Susanoo Madara created spears and threw them at the Warrior.

Tobirama finished folding the seals and said Mutually multiplying explosive seals!

Five seals flew out of his body, which, flying up to Tetsuya, began to explode. As soon as one seal exploded, it called for the next seal, which immediately exploded and called for the next one, and so on indefinitely. All of these seals were created from Tobirama's immortal summoning body, which is why they were endless.

Aren't we overdoing it? Hashirama said with some concern

Nope. Madara said calmly

Hashirama-sama, I'm not sure that our attacks are capable of exhausting him, let alone harming him. Sarutobi shook his head

For about a minute, the Kage heavily bombarded Tetsuya.

He broke away... Hiruzen said with effort, feeling how the warrior calmly throws back the earthen slabs, rips off the water dragon like a rag and kicks the columns with lightning bolts. - "Yes, you gave us enough head start." Sarutobi smiled mentally, knowing full well that Tetsuya was giving in to them a lot

Amazing. Hashirama said when he saw an absolutely whole warrior coming out of the sand curtain

Suddenly, Hiruzen disappeared.

Tobirama, Hashirama and Madara thought at the same time "I used up all the chakra and Kaguya teleported you... Old age is not a joy, and it costs a lot to keep this monster, even for a minute."

Tetsuya stood calmly on his warrior's head. Looking at the three remaining Kage, he smiled slightly It's time to get a little more serious.

Having increased and accelerated the flow of chakra to the warrior, Tetsuya began to attack again.

This time the warrior moved twice as fast

Naginata, tearing the air, was rushing with a horizontal slashing blow to the side with a Thousand-handed Truth.

The giant only managed to substitute one newly grown hand as protection.

Naturally, this arm was easily cut down, without affecting the attack power in any way.

The naginata blade reached the Giant's body and, under the shocked looks of Hashirama and Tobirama, completely cut the wooden Thousand-armed Truth.

The upper part of the giant was falling and Madara disabled Susanoo.

Meanwhile, Hashirama shouted again Mokuton: The Thousand - Handed Truth

Again, a little behind the last giant, a new one appeared.

Tobirama and Madara landed next to Hashirama on the head of a wooden giant.

Hashirama created several tree clones, which immediately began folding seals

Mokuto Secret Technique: The Birth of the World of Trees!

Mokuto: The Coming of the World of Flowering Trees!

Mokuto: Wood Dragon Technique!

Huge wooden roots and branches burst out of the sand, which began to bind the warrior. Then beautiful huge buds bloomed on these branches and roots and released their pollen, which had wonderful poisonous corrosive effects.

And on top of these techniques there was also a dragon that tried to wrap around the Tetsui warrior, but he just grabbed him with one hand and threw him out as if he was not a dragon, but a helpless snake.

The poisonous pollen slowly corroded the warrior, but it was all useless, because he regenerated much faster, and the roots and branches had no chance to keep him in place.

The warrior raised the naginata again and attacked. Exactly the same horizontal slashing blow, only this time the attack comes from the right side, not from the left.

Hashirama turned to face Uchiha Madara, now!

Madara grinned I hope I have enough chakra... Susanoo!

The chakra broke out of the Uchiha's body and began to envelop the Thousand-armed Truth.

Tetsuya even stopped the attack for the sake of this spectacle Not bad.

Unfortunately, the armor of the completed Susanoo managed to cover only the main body of the giant, a thousand hands remained naked behind, but even so Madara had a hard time. It was the first time he created such a huge Susanoo.

Grinning, Uchiha said Yes, it took almost all of my remaining chakra.

Get some rest, now it's my turn. Hashirama nodded

Tetsuya suddenly spoke up I'm sorry, but this has gone on too long, I intend to put an end to this battle.

The Divine Tree Warrior accelerated even more and did not give the Thousand-Handed Truth a chance to defend itself.

Again, a horizontal slashing blow. Again, the naginata blade almost without encountering obstacles cut the giant Hashirama.

Falling, Madara shouted Limbo!

Thanks to Emperor Tetsuya's Eyes, he knew that Madara was using this technique, so he also said Limbo!

They used this technique at the same time.

Madara released all four of his shadows. Tetsuya has only one.

But this one shadow was enough to destroy all four of Madara's shadows in a few moments.

Madara had almost no chakra, plus he received severe damage when the fallen shadows from Limbo transferred all the damage to him. Uchiha was not in any serious danger, thanks to the regeneration borrowed from Hashirama, but it still put him out of action, and therefore Kaguya teleported the Hokage home.

Hashirama was going to use the technique again and create a Thousand-handed Truth, but Tetsuya, personally, quickly approached him and sent him back to the other world with one simple seal.

Of course, he had the opportunity to talk to his biological father, but he didn't see any point in it. He is a rebirth, traveling through the worlds. Tetsuya doesn't even consider Mito to be his mother, although he shows the opposite, so he didn't have any feelings for Hashirama.

At most, he considered the past Shinobi God to be a very interesting person with whom you can have a couple of drinks, but Tetsuya understood that all their communication would be accompanied by an awkward and stupid atmosphere, so he just sent the dead man back to the Pure World.

Tetsuya saw that Tobirama was going to retreat with the help of hiraishin, so he teleported himself behind the second Hokage and with the help of the seal also sent him to Jodo.

Now it's the girls' turn. Tetsuya said softly with anticipation

...

Nearby, ten kilometers to the south, the remnants of the Orochi squad, along with the girl herself, are located.

Jiraya, Tsunade, Mito, Kushina and Orochi watched the battle of Kaguya and Tetsuya's shadows with alarm and shock.

Tsunade, Mito and Kushina possessed tenseigans, so they could see Tetsuya's shadows and the whole battle in general, despite the incredible speed of their battle. Orochi and Jirae had enough sound from the battle to understand at what level everything was happening.

The battle of Kaguya and Tetsuya's Shadows was like a cat and mouse game, where four impudent strong mice chased a kitty.

These shadows could use all of Tetsuya's abilities and possessed his full strength, which indicated that Kaguya had a hard time. She constantly had to run away to hide in portals, but the worst thing was that the Shadows were able to put Hiraishin's seal on her and she could not hide.

She had already missed a couple of strong blows, but she herself once fell into the shadow with her bone turning to dust... But nothing happened. The Shadow didn't care how it turned out that Tetsuya was immune to this technique.

Tsunade shook her headHe's incredible...

Mito smiled lightly with a hint of prideWe all knew that.

Kushina nervously looked at Orochi So far everything is going according to plan, but... Orochi, are you sure of your guess? Are you sure about your plan? This is a huge risk...

Orochi smiled calmly and confidently I am absolutely confident in the plan and in Tetsuya. I'm willing to take the risk.

Ay-ay-ay. Tetsuya's voice was heard nearby.

It was quite unexpected. Tetsuya was standing two hundred meters away from them with a smile and squinting at his loved ones You are making insidious plans behind my back.

Orochi looked warmly into Tetsuya's eyes In love, as in war.
