With no one to stop it, the meteor descended faster and faster, its surface even glowing with a fiery light.
“…”
Hashirama Senju looked grimly at Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha was completely calm. He was currently in an Edo Tensei body; even if it was completely shattered, he could regenerate.
If he had been truly revived, he definitely wouldn’t have used the Tengai Shinsei technique so easily—because this technique included him within its attack range.
Madara Uchiha could watch the meteor fall without a care, but Hashirama Senju absolutely could not—
There were fifty to sixty thousand ninja here, including Konoha ninja. He had to stop it.
“Sage Mode!”
At this critical moment, Hashirama Senju naturally went all out, using Sage Mode. His power surged.
“<Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!>”
A Buddha statue with countless giant arms appeared. Compared to this behemoth, even a Perfect Susanoo was only as large as the Buddha statue’s head.
Even the Ten-Tails was a younger brother in front of the True Several Thousand Hands—of course, this referred to size, not strength.
———
“So it finally appears…”
Madara Uchiha squinted at the Giant Buddha statue.
This was the second time Madara Uchiha had seen it. The first time, he had been miserably defeated by Hashirama.
Seeing it again, Madara Uchiha felt somewhat emotional.
“Is this the true power of Wood Release?” Nawaki’s expression was dazed, and also filled with envy.
‘Why didn’t I inherit the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai?’ Nawaki had no idea that the Senju Clan’s Kekkei Genkai wasn’t Wood Release, but the Sage Body.
Hashirama Senju possessed Wood Release because he was a reincarnation of Asura’s chakra. Other Senju clan members couldn’t use it.
Besides Hashirama Senju, who else in the Senju Clan possessed Wood Release? Tsunade had Wood Release, but if not for Shin’s help, she would never have obtained it.
“Alright, looks like I don’t need to intervene.”
Shin looked at the Great Wood Buddha. It could definitely deal with the Tengai Shinsei.
“<Summit Enlightenment!>”
Hashirama Senju roared angrily.
Countless fists and palm imprints shot towards the meteor in the sky, each punch carrying immense force.
No one had ever counted exactly how many fists the Great Wood Buddha had, but it was definitely no less than a thousand.
This terrifying attack could move mountains and fill seas. Even the Ten-Tails could be beaten down and left dazed for a while.
In an instant, the meteor was shattered into countless fragments. Though the small fragments were still dangerous, the threat was far less significant.
However, there wasn’t just one meteor. Another meteor continued to fall, but the end result was the same.
Madara Uchiha’s Tengai Shinsei was thus dealt with by Hashirama Senju’s Sage Art Wood Release.
“SO STRONG! I remember Kushina-neechan and Tsunade-neechan—both know Wood Release, right? Can you teach me?” Hanabi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Kushina and Tsunade.
“Go ask Shin. I’m not teaching a slacker like you,” Kushina said, glancing at Hanabi.
“I promise I won’t slack off anymore!” Hanabi immediately assured Kushina.
“You promise?? Do you think I’d believe your promise?” Kushina scoffed.
“Hmph! Fine, don’t teach me! I’ll ask Shin-nii!” Hanabi looked up at Shin.
Shin looked down at Hanabi with a brilliant smile, then mercilessly refused her.
Teaching Hanabi was out of the question. Wood Release itself was difficult, and Hanabi wasn’t serious. Shin didn’t want to waste his effort.
———
“<Limbo: Border Jail!>”
The moment the Tengai Shinsei attack failed, Madara Uchiha decisively attacked, using his Rinnegan’s exclusive Dōjutsu.
No, it shouldn’t be an exclusive Dōjutsu anymore. Madara Uchiha didn’t know that Shin had already copied his Rinnegan. Shin also knew the Limbo: Border Jail Dōjutsu.
And when Shin used it, it was even stronger than Madara Uchiha’s. Madara Uchiha’s expression would be priceless if he knew the truth.
Invisible Limbo clones appeared beside Hashirama Senju, and their incredibly powerful force directly shattered Hashirama’s body.
Fortunately, it was an Edo Tensei body—otherwise, Hashirama Senju would be dead now.
Watching Hashirama Senju’s body gradually regenerate, Madara Uchiha finally reacted, his face darkening.
It seemed Limbo: Border Jail was used in vain this time; it had no effect.
“Edo Tensei can also use Limbo: Border Jail? Did I underestimate Edo Tensei…?”
Shin was particularly surprised. In the original story, Madara Uchiha first used Limbo: Border Jail after being revived and obtaining one Rinnegan.
———
“The Rinnegan is powerful.” Tsunade’s face stiffened slightly, a hint of displeasure in her heart.
If both of them were alive, then her grandfather Hashirama Senju would have been defeated—no, killed…
“Is this also the power of the Rinnegan??” Hashirama Senju asked Madara Uchiha after regenerating.
The Madara Uchiha of the past didn’t have this technique, so it could only be a power Madara Uchiha obtained after awakening the Rinnegan.
“Hashirama, you are no longer my opponent,” Madara Uchiha said proudly to Hashirama Senju.
“This guy’s getting cocky. I’m going to go beat him up!” Tsunade couldn’t suppress her displeasure any longer.
“Alright. But remember not to kill him completely. Madara Uchiha still has his uses,” Shin said to Tsunade.
Shin didn’t mind Tsunade beating up Madara Uchiha, but she absolutely couldn’t kill him. If Madara Uchiha really died, who would be the sacrifice for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s revival?
“Don’t worry.”
Tsunade activated Six Paths Sage Mode. Wearing a white sage robe, she clenched her fists and charged towards Madara Uchiha.
She instantly appeared before Madara Uchiha. This speed even caught Madara Uchiha off guard.
“Don’t get carried away!”
Tsunade’s fist landed on Madara Uchiha’s face. The force of the punch obliterated Madara Uchiha’s head. It was that violent.
Tsunade’s fist could shatter a mountain. Smashing Madara Uchiha’s head was child’s play—
—Unless Madara Uchiha became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and his body became sufficiently durable, only then could he withstand Tsunade’s punch.
But the current Madara Uchiha—though only one step away from the Six Paths realm, had a vast difference in strength.
Although his head was blown off, Madara Uchiha was an Edo Tensei—his destroyed head quickly regenerated.
Tsunade didn’t care.
She completely treated Madara Uchiha as a punching bag. Following Shin’s instructions, she didn’t kill Madara Uchiha, but she definitely humiliated him.
