Chapter 42 - 39- The war starts

"This really is something… My strength has increased a lot honestly… With my current chakra, I could create much more powerful jutsus, maybe… I might just reach close to big brother in strength." Tobirama sensei said in shock as he felt the results of his nature energy enhancements.

"You would need to work on your attack power, try my rasengan series, its nature transformation forms, and the great spiralling ring, they are absolute bangers in terms of attack power.

Honestly, I think I might be close to the first hokage in strength now.

I am faster than him with my body flicker jutsu perfected to the extreme aided by my chakra control. I am physically stronger than him, and my monster power jutsu is leagues ahead of Tsunade, which is already terrifyingly strong.

My chakra control, well, you know… My chakra amount is a bit smaller, regeneration too, and wood style is something I lack.

If we are fighting an army, I think he would have the advantage, but in one-on-one, I am probably stronger, I have no clear weak points now, specially after the nature energy enhancement." I said proudly, it was not just boasting, in the right conditions, I am sure that I could beat Hashirama.

"Hmm… for one, your Taijutsu sucks, you are more of a crazed brawler, meanwhile brother was a skilled warrior who fought his entire life, so the fighting experience difference is crazy.

You don't have any weak points, but you don't have any strong points which could overpower him either. Once he uses his True several thousand hands, there is not much you can do." Tobirama argued back

"Nah, I think if I throw a great spiralling ring at that, it could destroy it, anyways, if one won't, then I can always throw a few of them." As if this was some pokemon battle game, we argued.

At last, Tobirama, a biased fanboy, just humphed, and said, "Humph, if you think you could win, then you are clearly delusional, you would need to train a lot more.

You could probably reach his level in your peak, but now, nope."

Anyways, finding that I was on the losing side, I cleverly switched topics, aiming to attack him differently,

"So, did you find some girl or you are still single?" I asked with a smug smile, I could see his lips twitching at my question, but he did not say anything, seeing his silence, I snickered and continued,

"I mean, if you approach any of the single woman in the village now, at your age, you would be branded a paedophile… so yeah, I understand somewhat, but still, do you really want to die single, or probably, a virgin."

"You little…" Sensei growled

"Alright, Alright, I will not tease you anymore, now, a serious question instead.

Imagine, at long last, you finally managed to find a girl you like, and by a massive stroke of luck, she happens to like you back.

You plan to marry her, but suddenly, a truth comes out, she was an orphan who did not know her parents, but she suddenly awakens the sharingan, and the truth comes out that the blood which flows in her veins is filthy Uchiha blood.

What would you do next, would you marry her, or would you abandon her?" Nah, I was really curious about this one.

"…Well, she wasn't raised by the Uchiha… maybe it is still redeemable…" Unexpectedly he replied after some thought.

"Hmm, but you do realize that if you have children with her, your next generations would have within them, filthy Uchiha blood." I smirked and continued

"…"

"Hehe, you are faltering, I knew your racism would eventually win. Though, it's understandable, I mean, it's those Uchihas, hard not to hate them." I laughed out loud.

"Uchihas are a part of the village too, no matter how bad they are, we can't discriminate against them." Tobirama said seriously.

"But you agree they are bad, right?"

"…"

And he turned back silent once more, trying to lecture me, was he?

"Anyways, let's start the war now, I guess we are ready as ever." I said abruptly, surprising him

"Hmm, now? This sudden?" Tobirama asked in surprise

"No, let's go to a priest and get some auspicious time to start the war." I joked

"Fine, we are starting it now, so we are only going to let Sunagakure attack us, right?" Tobirama understood my sarcasm and agreed.

"Of course, the main purpose of this war isn't for Konoha to win, but for the rest of the villages to lose.

I want the rest of the three villages to lock in a deadly threesome while Konoha and Suna duke it out.

Besides, fighting those Suna trash is barely worth worrying about, with our current medical facilities, along with research units, neutralizing their poison is simple, and without poisons, they don't amount to much.

Of course, our goal would not be to win, merely stalling, let the war continue, Kuma, Iwa and Kiri damage each other, we damage Suna, in the end Konoha is the only one benefitting." I said with a smirk.

"So, we start today?"

"Yes, two teams from Iwa and three teams from Kumo have just moved out from their villages, time to make them clash, slowly, more and more of these clashes will happen, until the two villages develop deep hatred from each other, once they do that, inciting a war is simple." I chuckled.

"Hmm, are you sure you would be able to control them with illusions from this distance?" Tobirama finally asked the important question.

"They are already under my illusion, I was simply waiting for you to agree." I smirked.

"Your illusion really is something else, just a single illusion to completely hypnotize them from this distance…" Sensei sighed

"A single illusion? Are you crazy, I planted them with dozens of illusions, each targeting different senses, heck there is one which even plants in you fake intuition, I have perfected my art to the extreme, which idiot would cast just a single illusion?

Imagine if by some stroke of luck, they manage to break the illusion, and all your plans are in ruins. You need to stack illusions, so, just as one of them breaks, there are still multiple acting, and you can recast the broken illusion.

All the illusions are currently controlled by my shadow clones, I have already sent them the order to start, the Iwa and Kumo shinobi are gradually moving towards each other, by tonight, they would clash, which would kill off most of them."

My illusions were different from the likes of Itachi and Shishui, while they had single super powerful illusions, which by the way, I had too. What I preferred was multiple small illusions, targeting everything.

Imagine if you see something, your gut feeling screams at you, each and every of your sense tell you the same thing, would you even have a doubt?

The first requirement to break an illusion is to identify you are in an illusion, but if you don't know, there's nothing you can do.

"I don't know if that's scarier… to unleash dozens of illusions at once… how is that even possible?" Tobirama said apparently bewildered.

"You really are getting dumber the more you age… You fucking developed the shadow clones, and you don't know how to use them?

Why the fuck would you want to release them all by your main body, just let your shadow clones do it for you…" I sighed holding my head, moments like these make me realize how Tobirama managed to die at the hands of Kumo shinobi in the original work despite having Flying thunder god…
