I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 15 The Fusion of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu

"Big brother, we have the upper hand now, there's no need to risk our lives to fight that Uchiha Madara guy."

Upon receiving the news, Tobirama Senju rushed to stop Hashirama Senju, knowing full well that the latter would definitely agree to the duel given his personality.

Hashirama Senju was silent for a moment, then asked, "Tobirama, do you know how many of our clansmen have sacrificed themselves in this war so far?"

Senju Tobirama was momentarily speechless upon hearing this.

Because it's a number that makes your heart ache just thinking about it.

Seeing his younger brother's expression, Hashirama Senju's eyes flashed with grief, and he said in a deep voice, "Of course I understand that taking advantage of our current strength and proceeding step by step is the safest way to win, but it is a way to win at the cost of more lives, and I can't bear to do that."

"When Itama and Watama sacrificed their lives, I vowed to end the war as soon as possible."

"The sooner this war ends, the more people will survive."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju knew that his elder brother had made up his mind, and that nothing he said would change anything.

Looking at his unpredictable younger brother, Tobirama patted him on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Tobirama, have some faith in me. Do you really think I'll lose?"

"Of course you won't lose. I'm just worried that you might not have the heart to use your full strength at the crucial moment." Tobirama Senju gave a wry smile, then solemnly instructed, "Remember that you are the head of the Senju clan. This is not a simple victory or defeat; it concerns the fate of thousands of clansmen behind you. Remember that!"

Hashirama Senju nodded solemnly.

"I guarantee no one will disturb your duel." After saying this, Tobirama Senju walked out of the room without saying goodbye.

Hashirama Senju knew he was angry, and watched his younger brother's departing figure with a sense of apology.

Tobirama Senju was uneasy as he left the room.

So he wandered aimlessly through the streets, and in a daze, he somehow ended up at Chu Yang's residence.

At this moment, Chu Yang was practicing Fishman Karate in the courtyard.

Tobirama Senju stood outside the courtyard, watching silently, gradually becoming attracted to this new style of taijutsu.

After stopping thinking about those troubling things, Tobirama Senju's depression dissipated considerably.

"Yang, your taijutsu seems to contain some water-attribute chakra transformations." After observing for a while, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but ask.

Chu Yang had actually sensed Tobirama Senju's presence long ago, but he pretended not to know until Tobirama Senju spoke, at which point he put on a look of surprise and delight.

"Hello, teacher." Chu Yang greeted him respectfully.

"Hmm." Tobirama Senju responded casually, then eagerly pressed on, "Your taijutsu is quite unique. Could you explain it in detail?"

Chu Yang nodded.

In fact, what Chu Yang had just practiced was a rather special technique in Fishman Karate.

Control the water!

Fishman karate is a special martial art that allows one to manipulate water, but this is to some extent related to the racial talent of the fishman race.

As an ordinary person, Chu Yang could not theoretically reach this level.

Chu Yang understood this, so he decided to take a different approach and prepare to combine the power of water escape to simulate this technique.

Wood Release itself is a fusion of Water Release chakra and Earth Release chakra.

Chu Yang was naturally very familiar with the power of water escape techniques.

Chu Yang had just begun to try and was making some progress when Tobirama Senju arrived. So he simply shared his ideas and asked the other party for advice.

After all, Tobirama Senju was the number one inventor in the history of the ninja world, and his mind was far superior to Chu Yang's.

Listening to Chu Yang's description, Tobirama Senju smiled and nodded repeatedly.

This kind of skill, which combines taijutsu and ninjutsu, is not uncommon in the ninja world, but without exception, all of them are extremely difficult to develop. However, Chu Yang was able to complete the prototype through his own efforts.

In Tobirama Senju's view, Chu Yang's thinking was superior to that of ordinary people, which coincided with the nature of a researcher like himself.

"Not only can he inherit my elder brother's Wood Release, but he can also inherit my ninjutsu and continue to innovate..." Tobirama Senju saw many possibilities in Chu Yang.

Chu Yang had been talking for a long time and his mouth was dry, but he hadn't received any advice.

He looked up and saw Tobirama Senju smiling and watching him.

Chu Yang was so startled that he shuddered!

The sun is likely to rise in the west today, and even the usually stern-faced Tobirama Senju will be smiling.

Am I hallucinating?

When Chu Yang looked at Tobirama Senju again, he found that the other party had returned to his usual cold and aloof demeanor.

It really was an illusion!

"Your taijutsu has a sound concept, but the key issue is that you don't understand the power of water jutsu enough. You're only at a very basic level, which will hinder your progress in this taijutsu."

"To perfect this taijutsu, starting today, you must learn more about water-style techniques from me!"

Chu Yang's eyes lit up. What was the Second Hokage's most proficient ninjutsu?

Flying Thunder God?

No!

The answer is Water Release!

Before creating the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama Senju started out using Water Release techniques and went on a killing spree in the clan wars!

So Chu Yang enthusiastically began to learn Water Release techniques from Tobirama Senju, who then started teaching him, explaining things step by step from the basics.

Both of them were so engrossed in the lesson that they didn't end it until it got dark.

Before leaving, Tobirama Senju stood hesitantly at the door, seemingly making some important decision.

"The clan head is preparing to duel with Uchiha Madara. As for the location of the duel, only I in the clan know it right now. I plan to take you with me. What do you think?"

The duel between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?

Is there even a need to think about it?

This is the most exciting battle in the history of the ninja world, and with the Second Hokage as a bodyguard, what is there to hesitate about!

"I want to go!" Chu Yang said excitedly.

Tobirama Senju smiled, seemingly having anticipated Chu Yang's reaction, and said, "Watching battles between those high-level experts, while dangerous, will also be immensely beneficial to you."

"As a fellow user of Wood Release, you must carefully observe the clan leader's fighting style!"

Chu Yang understood that this was a very good opportunity.

Previously on the battlefield, he was busy saving his own life and had no time to observe Hashirama Senju's battles.

Late the next night, two figures, like ghosts, moved through the woods and arrived at a secluded valley.

However, this place is different from the Valley of the End in Chu Yang's memory. There is no waterfall, only a stream. It must be somewhere else.

Moreover, the story didn't progress to the final battle at the Valley of the End.

Upon arriving at their destination, Tobirama Senju and Chu Yang concealed themselves and circled the area.

Although Madara Uchiha was known for never setting up ambushes after agreeing to a duel, Tobirama Senju left Flying Thunder God incantations in many places and set up numerous explosive tag traps just to be on the safe side.

He would stop the duel if anything seemed amiss.
