65 Chapter 65 Improvement

Land of Rain.

Near tanzaku bridge,

Rumble!!

The razed forest with burnt wood and scorched earth under the dark rainy sky was illuminated by a crackle of thunder.

Amidst the altered landscape stood Kazuki with his upper body naked and holding a sword with blood dripping down it, his skin was red from the burns he endured in the battle and his face showed clear exhaustion.

Thud!

Kazuki's legs gave up to exhaustion as he went on his knees but his focus stayed on the motionless figure before him.

"Huff… That was too close… had it failed it would be me on the ground."

Said Kazuki while gasping for breath, his eyes showing a little dread for what could have happened if he had failed in his last attempt.

Kazuki knew from the start of the battle that he could never compare to han in terms of chakra and he already had a plan to deal with, but for that plan to work he needed to exhaust him first and catch him in one fell swoop, without giving him any opportunity to counterattack.

"Fuinjutsu: Chakra Kekkai Fūin" (Chakra Barrier Seal)

The plan was to use a sealing jutsu to isolate the chakra of tail beast and han himself that merged at the nodes in chakra pathways. This sealing jutsu could only work when the chakra intensity of both the tail beast and jinchuriki was at its lowest. This was a sealing jutsu from the Uzumaki Clan.

A Clan which specialized in sealing jutsu.

Tobirama was a master inventor of ninjutsu and had studied most of sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan to invent new ninjutsu, the Reanimation Jutsu, Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique, Spirit Transformation Technique, and Flying Raijin. All these involved studying sealing techniques to some degree.

Kazuki, having Tobirama's template, naturally got this sealing jutsu and managed to use it at the perfect time to cut off the connection between han and Kokou, leaving him helpless.

But had he failed, he would have truly run out of options and then the man lying on the ground wouldn't be han, it would be him.

Huh…Boom!!!

Just when Kazuki on his knees was reviewing the battle he just fought, suddenly a voice sounded in his head causing him to frown as chakra burst out of him suddenly.

The burnt red skin began to recover at a speed visible to naked eye and even some wounds he suffered began to heal.

Kazuki who was exhausted beyond words felt the strength in his body returning gradually but just when he had recovered half way, the magical recovery stopped and chakra overflowing out of him disappeared.

"Finally I have some assurance to survive in this world; going through all that was worth it."

Looking at the changes on the system panel, Kazuki spoke up in an emotional tone as putting his life on the line was worth it after all.

With the 70% strength of Tobirama he didn't fear anyone in a one on one battle anymore, whether it's Onoki, Third Raikage or Third Hokage.

Of course if those hiding in the shadows come out to fight him, he would still have to run if he wanted to save his life.

With a face radiating endless confidence, Kazuki who had recovered half due to the template extraction easily stood up and picking the body of han before him placed it on his shoulders.

"Finally this war can end"

Saying that, Kazuki looked in the direction where two huge battles were still taking place and slowly walked away, leaving the devastating spot where a peak battle just took place.

Clink!

But hardly a minute after kazuki left, from the ground black liquid seeped out and slowly turned into human head like shape, the face with no nose, mouth and just two yellow eyes gazing at the direction which kazuki left.

"Kazuki Aoyama… or Tobirama Senju… even someone like me who has lived for so many years can't find much of a difference… the way he fought was just like him"

Muttered Black Zetsu in a confused tone, the battle that just occurred here he watched it all from start till the end.

In the past, he has seen senju brothers fight from when they were young to the point where they grew up to be reputed.

The mastery of water style, the sword play, the massive chakra which an ordinary shinobi shouldn't possess and even sealing jutsu, everything Kazuki revealed in this battle resembled Tobirama so much.

"Maybe he is off senju descent… that would somewhat explain his magical recovery but still I should look into his background"

Said Black Zetsu in a cautious tone, he also saw how kazuki recovered from his wounds suddenly and it actually reminded him off Senju Hashirama who could recover like this.

So the guess that kazuki might be a senju popped in his head but he still decided to look into it to confirm his guess.

"Anyways I should first deliver the news to him… hehe… the second coming of Senju Tobirama, his reaction would be priceless"

Laughed Black Zetsu in an anticipating tone, next second drilling back into the ground and disappearing.
