"What is this stuff?!"
"My body... feels so tired!"
"Not good! Everyone, cover your noses quickly! Don't inhale this pollen!"
"Those with Haki, quickly use Haki to defend!"
"It's too late... damn it!"
".........."
The Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence technique, a Wood Release ninjutsu, was undoubtedly the strongest Wood Release ninjutsu among all of Hashirama Senju's, besides that SSS-rank Sage Art ninjutsu.
Even the Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique and the Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique could not be compared to the Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence technique.
Because this move was simply a battlefield harvester, a destroyer of human wave tactics!
In the Fourth Great Ninja War of the original story, Madara Uchiha had almost instantly defeated the Five Kage with this one move.
If it weren't for Ōnoki waking up at the last moment and using Particle Style to break the Deep Forest Emergence, Madara Uchiha wouldn't even have needed to show off his Perfect Susanoo.
Similarly, Hashirama Senju had also used this move against Madara Uchiha during the Warring States period.
Even someone as strong as Madara Uchiha had once inhaled the pollen and had almost fallen.
In addition, Hashirama Senju had used this move to attack and suppress Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.
Therefore...
When the bright red flower buds bloomed and released a pollen that spread for more than ten kilometers.
The pirates and ninjas within the coverage range of the Deep Forest Emergence began to fall indiscriminately.
Whether they were fodder or elites...
Even Supernovas like Eustass Kid were instantly knocked out by this pollen, falling unconscious.
Only a few of the Flying Six, and the Three Calamities with their strong physiques and powerful Haki, had realized the threat of this pollen in advance and quickly covered their entire bodies with Armament Haki.
Even so, they had accidentally inhaled a little bit of the pollen, and their whole bodies did not feel well.
Besides these people who could cover their entire bodies with Armament Haki, the others were not so lucky, including the Third Raikage, whose strength was second only to Hashirama Senju and Kaido in the whole scene, who was also knocked down by Hashirama Senju.
Not only the Third Raikage, but also Minato Namikaze had inhaled a little pollen. Fortunately, when he realized something was wrong, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape the sea of trees of the Deep Forest Emergence. It was unknown where in the ninja world he was now, dispelling the fatigue brought by the pollen.
Unlike the Three Calamities, neither the Third Raikage nor Minato Namikaze could defend against the pollen of the Deep Forest Emergence, even with the Strongest Armor that covered their entire bodies.
If Hashirama Senju's attack range had not been so exaggerated, perhaps the Third Raikage could have quickly escaped the sea of trees domain of the Deep Forest Emergence with his speed, which was second only to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
What a pity that Hashirama Senju's jutsu casting speed was too fast.
So fast that if the Three Calamities had been a second slower, they would have been knocked down directly.
As one after another, pirates and ninjas fell to the ground...
Before long, the only ones who could remain conscious were the Three Calamities and the stronger of the Flying Six.
As for the others, the entire army was annihilated.
On the ninja side, the entire army had been annihilated long ago.
But unlike the pirates, who were ignored after they fell.
The Deep Forest Emergence was Hashirama Senju's ninjutsu. As the user, in this sea of trees domain, he had a god's perspective that surpassed Observation Haki, especially a god's perspective enhanced by Sage Art.
Almost as soon as the ninjas fell, the surrounding towering trees, as if they had been given spirituality by a creator, stretched out branches of varying sizes, bound and wrapped those ninjas, and protected their lives.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
At the same time, countless thick branches, like tentacles, slapped and bound towards the Three Calamities.
The number of branches was very large, and they were everywhere, front, back, left, right, up, and down. It was a move that covered all directions.
Facing the countless slapping and binding branches, the Three Calamities and the Flying Six, whose bodies were weak from inhaling the pollen and could only use Haki to defend, didn't even have time to use their fruit abilities and were submerged by these branches.
Before long, a series of rice dumplings of varying sizes were hung on the treetops of the towering trees, which were dozens or hundreds of meters high.
With just one move... Hashirama Senju had instantly defeated the Beasts Pirates and the cloud ninjas of the border fortress, including the leader of the cloud ninjas, the strongest Third Raikage in history.
The strength of the God of Shinobi was second only to the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai of the Rinnegan.
Just as Madara Uchiha regarded the tailed beasts as livestock.
These pirates and ninjas, to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, were as weak as livestock.
It was just that unlike Madara Uchiha, who liked to use the "God of Destruction"-like Susanoo to display an unparalleled physical destructive power.
Hashirama Senju, as the respected God of Shinobi of the ninja world, even when resisting enemies from another world, did not kill these otherworldly people.
Perhaps Hashirama Senju's thought was to defeat and capture these otherworldly people, and then persuade them to return to their own world, and for both sides to mind their own business.
But I digress...
After instantly defeating both friend and foe with a single move, Hashirama Senju stood on the head of the Wood Golem, looked down at Kaido below, and said in a deep voice, "Young man from another world, surrender. I will not kill you!"
"Damn it, who do you think I am?"
Kaido, whose Observation Haki also sensed that his pirate crew had been annihilated, had veins pop out on his forehead, and he said with uncontrollable anger, "I am Kaido of the Beasts! How could I surrender to a native of this other world?!"
After finishing, Kaido, who had resisted the pollen with his Armament Haki, condensed the chakra that had automatically recovered a little because his physical body was too strong, and formed a hand seal that was very familiar to Hashirama Senju, "Shadow Clone Technique!"
That's right, it was one of the most useful clone techniques in the ninja world, which had spread from Konoha.
After creating a shadow clone exactly like himself, Kaido, who was greatly angered by Hashirama Senju's arrogant appearance, and his shadow clone assumed a posture that, if Karl were here, he would surely find very familiar.
"Combination Technique... Ocean Sovereignty!"
