So fast! This was Rosen's thought in that instant.
It was too fast, a speed completely beyond comprehension.
This slash was both quick and vicious; Rosen didn't even have time to gather strength to block it.
Whoosh—
Swap! Rosen exchanged positions with Lust, disappearing from Uchiha Madara's sight.
Uchiha Madara's heart stirred, Flying Thunder God Technique?
He then saw the Shadow on the ground. No, he exchanged positions with the Shadow.
Uchiha Madara attacked Rosen again, but just then, Lust suddenly connected with Uchiha Madara's Shadow.
Uchiha Madara's body moved slightly. Greed, Gluttony, and Envy simultaneously attacked Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara brought his hands together, Susanoo.
Immediately, his body was enveloped by a layer of solidified blue Chakra.
A hand extended from within the blue Chakra, sweeping forward.
Rosen's pupils contracted sharply. Looking at the giant hand approaching, golden light burst from his eyes, and a massive golden Chakra instantly erupted from his body, forming a golden cover around him.
The giant hand struck the golden cover. The golden cover remained unmoved; instead, the attacking blue giant hand itself disintegrated and shattered.
Uchiha Madara showed surprise, his eyes rotating once more. The patterns of his Mangekyo became even more obscure.
Eternal Mangekyo, open!
At this moment, Rosen's Face finally lost its composure.
When Uchiha Madara activated his Mangekyo, he felt some pressure, but it wasn't overwhelming.
He originally thought that even if Uchiha Madara activated his Eternal Mangekyo, it would at most increase his power by several times. He probably couldn't win, but self-preservation would definitely not be an issue.
However, he never expected that Uchiha Madara's Eternal Mangekyo, just the oppressive feeling alone, had increased by at least twenty times!!
Rosen now had no choice but to go all out, his body radiating golden light, releasing 5% of his Tenseigan Chakra.
But even so, there was still a considerable gap compared to the unparalleled might emanating from Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara directly activated his Fourth Form Susanoo, and a blue, hundred-meter giant rose from the ground.
Rosen gasped, "How the hell am I supposed to fight this?"
The gap! A visible gap!!
Just then, a rough and hearty voice came, but in Rosen's ears, it was like music from heaven.
"Haha… Madara, you're too cunning. You actually tricked me away… What is this called?"
"Luring the Tiger out of its Mountain."
Senju Tobirama also appeared behind Senju Hashirama.
"Senju Hashirama! You've come at just the right time, haha… Today, let's settle this once and for all."
Uchiha Madara, seeing Senju Hashirama arrive, immediately shouted excitedly.
He had only recently acquired the Eternal Mangekyo and was feeling triumphant. He felt that even Senju Hashirama could not be his opponent.
At this moment, his confidence was overflowing; he felt that everyone else was nothing but cannon fodder.
Rosen let out a long sigh and quietly retreated to the side.
Leaving the battlefield to Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
"Oh, Sen, why are you here?"
Rosen's Face darkened. "How long have I been standing here, and you're just noticing me?"
How little presence do I have?
Indeed, in your eyes, there's no one else but Dance King.
"Work hard, and I'll give you a promotion and raise at the end of the year."
Rosen waved his hand, turned around, and walked towards Senju Tobirama.
Senju Hashirama tilted his head, looking puzzled. A promotion and raise? What does that mean?
Senju Tobirama saw Rosen and then his two injured younger brothers, roughly deducing the situation.
"Welcome back."
Senju Tobirama said sincerely.
"You disappointed me. I thought when I came back this time, I would see peace."
Senju Tobirama felt a bit of a loss of Face: "It's all the fault of the evil Uchiha. These guys are simply a bunch of madmen. Even when they've been pushed to their limits, they still refuse to surrender."
Bang, bang, bang—
The battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had already begun.
The two glanced at the battlefield, then withdrew their gazes, as if it had nothing to do with them.
"In these past few years, your strength has improved quite a bit."
"Do you have any Body Refining techniques for cultivating the physique?"
"Do you want Eight Gates?"
"No, I want Body Refining techniques that purely cultivation the physique, not these explosive ones."
"Our Senju Clan's Super Strength cultivation technique, but you'll have to trade something for it."
"Okay, and you can throw in a few sword techniques as well."
Rosen had already planned to exchange it for the greer stone.
"That depends on whether what you're trading is worth the price."
Before long, the battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara ended.
Neither side achieved victory, mainly because Uchiha Madara knew his objective could not be achieved.
With Senju Hashirama's arrival, his plan for this time was declared a failure.
Before leaving, Uchiha Madara glared fiercely at Rosen, clearly holding a grudge against him.
Rosen felt a pang of toothache at this. How did he get targeted by this guy?
Senju Tobirama, however, was quite pleased about this. Being targeted by Uchiha Madara meant Rosen would have no choice but to be tied to their Senju Clan's war chariot.
"Haha… That was exhilarating! I didn't expect Madara's strength to improve so much. I almost couldn't beat him."
Rosen looked disdainful. Senju Hashirama had almost pinned Uchiha Madara to the ground and rubbed him in the dirt just now. And this was
almost couldn't beat him
?
"Sen, when we return to the Family, let's have a sparring match."
"Get lost. I don't fight with idiots. You're too heavy-handed; I'm afraid you'll kill me."
Rosen said mercilessly.
"You called me an idiot?"
Senju Hashirama's eyes widened, a hurt expression on his Face.
"That's right."
"Big Brother, are you so lacking in self-awareness?"
Senju Tobirama patted Senju Hashirama's shoulder.
Upon returning to the Senju Clan, Senju Hashirama maintained a low mood throughout, as if his soul had been lost.
Rosen, meanwhile, went with Senju Tobirama to the small forest.
Senju Tobirama's strength had improved significantly over the years. Rosen felt that Senju Tobirama could at least fight evenly with a Mangekyo-level Uchiha Madara.
Senju Tobirama also sensed that Rosen's strength had improved considerably.
Rosen also wanted to know how much he had improved. If only looking at Combat strength, he had improved by six or seven times, but actual combat power couldn't be summarized by a simple number.
And sparring with Senju Hashirama would provide no meaningful experience; he would inevitably be pinned to the ground and rubbed.
The two arrived before a lake. Senju Tobirama used a Body Flicker Technique to reach the center of the lake, rapidly forming hand seals.
Water Release: Beast and Great Waterfall Technique!
In an instant, the calm lake surface began to churn with waves, and these waves quickly reached thirty feet high. However, this was not the end of the Ninjutsu; the waves transformed into a hundred beasts, charging towards Rosen.
"You're using such a large-scale Ninjutsu from the start. Do you have enough Chakra?"
Rosen teased with his words, but his actions were swift. His main body and the Four Shadow Demons simultaneously formed hand seals.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!
Rosen only knew a few Five Elements Ninjutsu above B-rank, and none of them were suitable for countering Senju Tobirama's Ninjutsu.
So he could only compensate for the difference in quality with quantity.
Five fire Dragons appeared above Rosen and the Four Shadow Demons, simultaneously spewing scorching Dragon breath.
Water and Fire clashed, instantly shrouding the entire lake in a mist of steam.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Several figures of Senju Tobirama appeared in the mist, constantly moving through it.
Rosen and the Four Shadow Demons moved separately, while also coordinating with each other.
Although the Four Shadow Demons all possessed Sharingan and Byakugan, such things were too sensitive. If he revealed them, it would definitely bring immense trouble.
After all, if people knew that his Shadow Demons could use Byakugan and Sharingan, then those two Dojutsu Families would definitely fight him to the death.
So none of the Four Shadow Demons revealed their Sharingan or Byakugan.
Therefore, in the mist, neither Rosen nor Senju Tobirama could gain an advantage in terms of vision.
However, Rosen still had an advantage, as he had the Four Shadow Demons.
And Senju Tobirama was also aware of the Shadow Demons' existence, so he directly used Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to increase his range of activity.
Senju Tobirama's several Shadow Clones constantly entangled with Rosen's Four Shadow Demons.
"After several years, your Moves are still so unrefined."
Senju Tobirama fought a few Moves with Rosen, then re-entered the mist.
"Why do you think I asked you for sword techniques?"
Rosen knew his current weakness.
That was the lack of systematic training in Moves. Whether it was sword techniques or close combat, he fought by relying on brute force to achieve miraculous results.
The gap in Moves was like the difference between a professional boxer and an amateur internet celebrity who challenges dojos.
What truly made Senju Tobirama wary was Rosen's'Shadow Body Flicker Technique'.
This skill was similar to his Flying Thunder God, but its activation conditions were more convenient.
Senju Tobirama began to use Great Cold Energy. His speed became even more piercing, and his kunai were covered in a faint white mist.
Rosen felt Senju Tobirama's speed suddenly increase, and immediately guessed that he had used Great Cold Energy.
He dared not be slow either. Senju Tobirama already had the title of God of Speed.
And now, with the enhancement of Great Cold Energy, his speed had increased by nearly three times.
If he continued to be slow, he might truly lose.
Rosen also quickly activated the awakening of the spirit.
But before he could act, Senju Tobirama appeared behind Rosen like a ghost, his kunai, coated with Great Cold Energy, stabbing towards Rosen's back.
Hiss—
Rosen suddenly sensed danger and instantly swapped bodies with Envy, but his back had already been cut open, and the cold energy had also invaded his body through the wound, making his movements sluggish.
Just then, the awakening of the spirit automatically attached itself to the wound, repelling the Great Cold Energy on the wound and simultaneously accelerating cell activity.
Rosen felt his wound healing at a visible rate.
Although the wound was on his back, Rosen still felt it clearly.
A glint flashed in Rosen's eyes. This feeling reminded him of Senju Hashirama's Hand Seal-less Self-Healing!
Suddenly, Rosen heard another whoosh, Flying Thunder God Technique!
During his previous attack, Senju Tobirama had also left a Flying Thunder God Technique on his back.
Rosen punched the ground, creating an energy shockwave.
Before Senju Tobirama could succeed, a terrifying impact sent him flying.
Seeing this, Rosen raised his left arm, and five rings shot out through the air, hitting Senju Tobirama's chest.
Just as Rosen thought the battle was decided, Senju Tobirama's body dissolved into a puff of smoke.
Phew—
Shadow Clone!
From within the mist, Senju Tobirama suddenly burst out, his kunai stabbing directly at Rosen.
Rosen quickly defended. Senju Tobirama's attacks were tricky and swift, always delivering a blow from an unexpected angle.
Rosen found it very difficult to parry. This close-combat Move exchange was very disadvantageous for him.
When both sides had similar speeds, technique became the key to victory.
Rosen immediately controlled three Shadow Demons to surround and attack Senju Tobirama to alleviate his own pressure, while also having one Shadow Demon retreat to the edge of the battlefield, ready to switch positions instantly if his main body showed signs of defeat.
In fact, not only did Rosen feel pressure, but Senju Tobirama's pressure was also considerable.
Rosen's Shadow Demons could not be attacked; their attacks could only be dodged, not blocked.
Moreover, Rosen could switch positions with his Shadow Demons at any time.
Their strength and speed were nearly identical; Senju Tobirama only had a slight advantage in technique.
However, the Flying Thunder God Technique left on Rosen's back also constantly threatened Rosen's life.
Senju Tobirama could suddenly jump behind Rosen at any moment, bringing this battle to an end.
But he himself was not confident. Rosen was constantly guarding against Senju Tobirama's backstab, and Senju Tobirama was also looking for the best opportunity to backstab.
