At this moment, faced with a falling meteor of such immense size,
Tobirama's mind raced at high speed.
In an instant, he mentally simulated multiple countermeasures.
The next moment, Tobirama immediately formed hand seals and unleashed a ninja technique.
[Water Release: Water Trumpet Technique!]
With a powerful leap, Tobirama jumped into the air. A high-speed water jet shaped like a trumpet blasted from his mouth toward the ground below.
The tremendous recoil propelled Tobirama high into the sky.
He quickly ascended several hundred meters.
"This height still isn't enough!" Tobirama muttered.
Immediately, he activated the [Shadow Clone Technique], creating another clone midair.
[Water Release: Great Water Dragon Bullet!]
His clone performed another Water Release technique, forming a massive water dragon that soared straight up.
It struck Tobirama's real body directly, sending him another two hundred meters higher.
"This distance is sufficient!"
Now at over 700 meters high, Tobirama pulled out a kunai and powerfully hurled it upward toward the enormous meteor.
"Shoo——"
The kunai, marked with a Flying Thunder God tag, pierced through the air and continued rising for several hundred more meters.
Finally, it struck the meteor.
"Shwa——"
The Flying Thunder God Technique activated.
Tobirama, who should have been falling downward, instantly appeared beneath the meteor, grabbing onto the kunai embedded within it.
Clearly, all these consecutive maneuvers were meant to approach this meteor, so he could use the [Flying Thunder God Technique] to teleport it somewhere else...
You see,
not every ninja can fly like Onoki,
who effortlessly gains flight through the [Super Lightweight Rock Technique].
Flight remains a dream unattainable to most ninjas—
even someone as strong as Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, never mastered aerial abilities...
Once beneath the meteor, Tobirama no longer needed to worry about falling.
The high pressure created by friction with the air during its rapid descent would firmly pin Tobirama to the bottom of the meteor,
all the way until it crashed...
"What an enormous meteor!"
"No doubt, I absolutely cannot allow it to hit Konoha. Even hitting near Konoha is unacceptable..."
"I must take it away, far from Konoha!"
Flattened against the meteor, Tobirama placed his hand upon it,
beginning to channel chakra in preparation for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Moving something this massive all at once was quite draining even for Tobirama.
But it's no problem.
After all, he currently possesses an Impure World body!
Infinite chakra.
I can afford to waste it all...
"Shua——"
The next second,
Tobirama vanished along with this gigantic meteor, disappearing from the skies entirely.
As this massive object disappeared instantaneously, the vacuum vortex it left behind generated swirling gusts across the sky, forming mesmerizing rings—beautiful yet deadly.
Of course, beneath that breathtaking display lay a meteor strike capable of obliterating Konoha. No one had time to admire the view...
"Tsk!"
"It's gone?"
"So it really was you, that despicable Tobirama!"
..."
Lord Madara watched the meteor vanish, cursing inwardly in disdain.
In an instant, he figured it out—
It must have been Tobirama, that bastard, using his "Flying Thunder God Technique" to relocate the meteor...
Only that guy could pull something like this off.
"Shuu——"
In less than two seconds, atop the [Hokage Tower],
Tobirama reappeared at his original spot.
The meteor had already been transported by him to a desert over fifty miles away.
He had mitigated the potential casualties from the meteor's impact as much as he could...
Upon returning, Tobirama immediately shouted northward,
"Madara! Have you come back to life too?!"
"Was it that kid Shimoku Uchiha who resurrected you?!"
Damn it, your entire clan are nothing but disasters!"
"You actually dared use this forbidden technique to destroy the village!"
"I won't let you succeed!"
If possible, Tobirama would have flashed straight over and struck Madara down in a single stroke.
But he clearly knew—he absolutely couldn't defeat Madara now!
So what he needed to do now was stall the enemy with words, buying time for his older brother to complete the fusion with his remains!
"Hmph!"
"Is Hashirama not coming out yet?!"
"Do you really think you alone can stop me?"
Lord Madara sneered coldly.
Back in the day, if it hadn't been for Hashirama, he would've killed this bastard Tobirama long ago.
Always calling him "the evil Uchiha"—truly annoying!
"You only moved one meteor..."
"Tobirama, don't get too cocky!"
"Take another look above."
Hearing this, Tobirama suddenly looked up.
To his shock,
High in the sky, another gigantic meteor appeared with a swoosh, slowly descending downward.
And even on top of that meteor, there were two more!
Three meteors in total, all falling toward Konoha!
"Damn it, Madara!"
"You bastard!"
Tobirama roared in fury, his eyes flaring red.
His previous calmness completely gone.
In his mind, this bastard Madara must've lost his mind.
One meteor after another—how many did he plan to drop?!
Didn't he care about chakra cost?!
How much did he truly want to destroy Konoha?
Of course, Tobirama didn't realize that Madara had used the [Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star] merely to draw Hashirama out.
And naturally, watching Tobirama desperately scrambling like a dog moving the meteors was also quite amusing for him.
...
[Water Release: Water Horn Technique]!
Tobirama hurriedly performed the water jutsu again, repeating his earlier maneuver.
Preparing to leap high into the sky, approach those meteors, and move them away one by one...
However,
This time, just halfway through his ascent,
"Whoosh——"
A sapphire-blue spiraling triple-comma mark suddenly flew forth, instantly striking Tobirama head-on.
[Yasaka Magatama]!
One of Susanoo's signature long-range attacks.
"Boom——"
The spiraling magatama exploded, directly blowing off half of Tobirama's body, crashing him onto the ground.
Luckily, he was using a body of the Impure World.
Soon after, dust gathered and quickly restored his missing parts, making him whole again.
Immediately afterward, Tobirama glared toward Lord Madara far away.
As expected, Madara's two Susanoo forms each held a spiraling magatama-shaped Yasaka Magatama.
Clearly, this was meant to stop Tobirama.
The moment Tobirama tried to soar into the sky and get close to those three meteors,
Lord Madara would launch his Yasaka Magatama mid-air, shooting Tobirama down before he could get near the meteors...
"Damn it!"
"Damn you, Uchiha Madara! Can't you get any more despicable?"
Madara smirked.
"As for despicability? I'd say we're equals here."
"Senju Tobirama, just keep struggling all you want..."
Upon hearing this,
Tobirama's face darkened further as he gritted his teeth.
After all, with Lord Madara actively standing in his way,
It had truly become extremely difficult for him to approach those meteors now.
Unless... he waited until the meteors actually fell, right before they struck the village,
Then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to remove them.
However, by then, under gravitational acceleration, the meteors would definitely be moving at tremendous speed.
Even the slightest mistake or delay on his part,
And the entire village might truly be destroyed...
This couldn't be left to chance!
He had to move those meteors before they hit the ground!
Wait—
Could he use his Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique to shatter these meteors?
No!
Even if the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags succeeded, the shattered meteor fragments falling down would still severely damage Konoha!
That still won't work!
Moreover, even this self-sacrificing infinite explosion technique required him to actually make contact with those meteors in the first place!
If he could reach them, he could simply use the Flying Thunder God to take them away instead of detonating them!
Damn it!
Looks like he had no choice but to go all-in, using numbers to overcome this obstacle!
With his calm and sharp intellect, Tobirama quickly devised a countermeasure.
The next moment—
[Shadow Clone Jutsu!]
[Water Trumpet!]
[Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!]
Instantly, Tobirama created dozens of clones.
All simultaneously unleashed water techniques, shooting straight up into the air.
Meanwhile, five or six of these clones activated the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique.
Enveloping themselves within pitch-black darkness, forming several massive black spheres that obstructed the enemy's vision.
In this way,
Unless Lord Madara could rapidly launch dozens of Yasaka Magatama and precisely strike every single clone,
At least one of those clones escaping unharmed and reaching the meteors
Would allow him to use the Flying Thunder God Technique and remove the meteors!
After all,
Even someone as strong as Lord Madara couldn't wipe out dozens of shadow clones in one go from that distance, right?
...
"Clones combined with illusions?"
"That damn Tobirama always knows how to exploit advantages!"
"True, I can't possibly fire dozens of Yasaka Magatama all at once."
"But foolish Tobirama—"
"You've walked right into my trap!"
Madara sneered coldly, mocking without holding back.
The very next second,
The two Susanoo forms on his body swiftly merged into one, beginning to gather the Yasaka Magatama.
Soon, a Super Yasaka Magatama formed from fourteen connected magatama was rapidly constructed and then hurled forward by Susano'o.
The target of this [Yasaka Magatama] attack, however, wasn't Tobirama and his clones.
It was the three enormous meteors high up in the sky!
In an instant,
the [Yasaka Magatama] flew past Tobirama and his group, swiftly striking the first meteor.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion erupted, and the massive meteor started to break apart violently.
Soon, it shattered into hundreds of giant rock fragments,
like a shower of meteors falling from the heavens...
Witnessing this scene,
Tobirama below was stunned.
He never expected that Madara would actually take the initiative to destroy the meteors!
Reducing them into countless pieces of rock.
Even with dozens of clones, Tobirama was helpless to stop the falling debris!
At that moment, as the massive amount of rubble fell,
even if it couldn't completely flatten the entire Konoha, it would be more than enough to severely damage the village...
"Damn it all!"
"You bastard Madara, daring to scheme against me!"
"You son of a bitch…"
Tobirama's expression shifted as he roared in a fury unlike anything before.
