"Madara?!"
Hearing the information contained in Obito's words, Hashirama Senju's brow furrowed in complete astonishment. "He's been reanimated into this world too?"
"Him? This is just Madara's plan. Including you, Hashirama Senju…"
Looking at Hashirama Senju's surprised and bewildered expression beside him, Obito couldn't help but have a somewhat mocking thought, but he didn't voice it.
"What an annoying ninjutsu…"
Hashirama Senju wore a helpless, wry smile, but then his gaze towards Kaoru gradually filled with interest. "It's hard to imagine… a ninja as powerful as Madara… was defeated by such a young junior like you…"
As he spoke, battle intent flared in Hashirama Senju's eyes, and an incredible aura and chakra erupted from his entire body.
As his lifelong fated rival and confidant, Hashirama Senju knew Uchiha Madara's strength all too well. He truly couldn't fathom how a young ninja from a peaceful era could defeat Uchiha Madara, who stood at the pinnacle of power in the entire Warring States period.
"Is this the might of the God of Shinobi…" The four Kage, engaged in battle with the former Kage, involuntarily shifted their attention to the First Hokage, putting them at a disadvantage.
"Earlier they said Uchiha Madara appeared… and now the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, has truly appeared before us… What terrifying opponents…" The four Kage felt immense pressure. They sensed the shocking chakra within Hashirama Senju, like a chaotic void, and fine beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
These figures who had long since disappeared into ninja legends were emerging one after another…
It seemed… the ninja world was about to undergo a drastic change.
"Alright, let the battle begin…"
As if Hashirama Senju's overwhelming aura and chakra couldn't even cause a slight change in Kaoru's expression, he instead seemed somewhat impatient. "Let's quickly end this boring farce."
"Hmm?! You're right…"
Seeing that Kaoru was unaffected by his surging, vast aura, Hashirama Senju's expression finally turned serious and solemn. "What an extraordinary young man. My apologies, but I'll have to trouble you again this time…"
"Don't worry, it won't be too much trouble… Reckless Charge!!!"
Facing Hashirama Senju's gaze towards him as a junior and his condescending words, Kaoru erupted with all his chakra. Amidst the roaring of the surrounding air, a dazzling red chakra flame enveloped Kaoru's entire body. The shocking energy, carrying the aura of apocalyptic destruction, continuously distorted the surrounding space!
"What is this…" Seeing Kaoru instantly unleash such an unparalleled, ferocious chakra, Hashirama Senju, who had never witnessed such a technique, widened his eyes in horror.
"What is that!!!"
Obito, who had been hiding in the intangible state of Kamui, watched in disbelief as Kaoru suddenly transformed into a terrifying, burning chakra. The constantly distorting space seemed to affect even his space-time ninjutsu!
"It will end… very soon…"
This move was the S-rank ultimate ability of the Undead Warrior: Sion, commonly known as the "Old Driver." As Kaoru, who had gradually assumed a diving posture, charged towards Hashirama Senju with the speed of a teleportation, enveloped in a red chakra flame that seemed to devour everything, everyone watched in abject horror.
BOOM!!!
A sky-shattering collision resounded throughout the entire canyon. In less than a blink of an eye, Kaoru's Reckless Charge completely struck Hashirama Senju!
To Obito's utter horror, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, whom he considered majestic and invincible, was instantly torn to shreds by the scarlet chakra flame unleashed by Kaoru!!!
"This… How is this possible?!!!"
Obito, suspended in the void, simply couldn't believe his eyes at this moment. In fact, who could believe that someone in this world could tear the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, to shreds in a single encounter?!!
"Uchiha Obito… I told you, even the God of Shinobi cannot change today's outcome…" After unleashing the "Old Driver," the dazzling red chakra around Kaoru's body gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Kaoru's gaze and his words forced Obito into an icy dread. It was only today that he realized he had never truly grasped Kaoru's real power.
"What was that move just now…" Hashirama Senju's deep, resonant voice was filled with shock and confusion, as well as a hint of curiosity. The scattered paper fragments in the air reassembled into Hashirama Senju's body.
"I've never heard of such a ninjutsu…" Hashirama Senju's face was filled with disbelief. The power of that red chakra flame was truly astonishing. If not for his reanimated body, he might have…
"That move is called 'Old Driver'…" Kaoru said with great interest, looking at Hashirama Senju, who was reforming before him.
"Old Driver? That name sounds strange…" Hashirama Senju frowned. It didn't sound like a ninjutsu name at all…
Seeing Hashirama Senju earnestly pondering the name, Kaoru couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, then his expression turned serious. "However, it seems that your reanimated body prevents you from fully utilizing the abilities of your Sage Mode…"
"Sage Mode, huh… Indeed…" Hearing Kaoru's words, Hashirama Senju glanced at his reanimated body, but then his gaze intensely fixed on Kaoru. "However, for a young junior ninja like you to reach this level…"
"Truly an extraordinary young man…" While praising him without reservation, Hashirama Senju wore a look of helplessness. He then clasped his hands together and formed a hand seal. "My apologies, young man, I'll have to unleash my true power now. Though it's not my intention…"
"Wood Style: Flower Tree World Descent!!!"
Under Hashirama Senju's full power, countless towering trees and vines sprang from the ground beneath Kaoru's feet, seemingly out of nowhere. In almost an instant, a boundless sea of trees formed below Kaoru, instantly transforming the desolate canyon into a dense forest!
Furthermore, these wood style techniques not only produced trees that could absorb the target's chakra but also filled the air with continuously emitting toxic pollen!
Seeing the extent of Wood Style unleashed by Hashirama Senju, instantly transforming the surrounding desolation into an endless dense forest, even Kaoru couldn't help but exclaim inwardly!
"Is this the origin of the title 'God of Shinobi'… Hashirama Senju of the Forest…" Mei Terumī's expression changed as she surveyed the seemingly endless sea of trees around her. The area where she and the Fourth Mizukage were fighting was also occupied by Wood Style, instantly becoming crowded.
"To create such a vast forest in an instant…" The other three Kage watched in dumbfounded amazement as the environment around them was completely transformed by a single ninjutsu from Hashirama Senju, their tongues even getting tied.
Not only that, but as these trees and vines grew wildly, they also condensed into large flowers. These flowers quickly bloomed, and while incredibly alluring… they continuously released intoxicating pollen!
Then… the four Kage present, while dodging the vines, felt waves of dizziness wash over their minds, making them unsteady on their feet. The reanimated Kage, on the other hand, were completely unaffected. The situation instantly became extremely unfavorable for the four Kage!
"Damn it… with just one ninjutsu from Hashirama Senju, we're already…" Mei Terumī said desperately, trying to steady herself while continuously using Lava Style to defend against the approaching vines. She looked at the Fourth Mizukage drawing nearer and the figure of the God of Shinobi in the distance with despair.
"Is the gap really this large…" Ōnoki's expression was grim as he flew higher into the sky, dodging the pollen and vines. The Second Tsuchikage, who also knew this technique, followed closely behind.
