Gaara also continuously defended with sand, while the Fourth Raikage destroyed trees while dodging. However, they knew very well… if this continued… it would be a dead end.
Either their chakra would be drained by the vines, or they would be completely incapacitated by the pollen!
"Is this the Wood Style you used to pacify the chaotic world… It is indeed powerful…"
Observing the sea of vines and snake-like trees continuously surging towards him from all directions with his scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan, the sheer quantity and area that blotted out the sky gave Kaoru reason to believe that even a fly couldn't escape right now.
This had completely exceeded the scope of ninjutsu usable by ordinary ninjas. It was like the magnificent power of nature itself.
Moreover, once entangled by these trees, even a tailed beast would have its chakra drained and be rendered powerless to resist, let alone with the pollen scattered throughout the air, paralyzing living beings.
"This is a bit troublesome…" Kaoru sighed softly, his body moved, and with a thought, a pair of pure white wings suddenly sprouted from his back. Using these wings, he flew into the air without any external assistance. This pair of wings allowed him to fly without external force. Kaoru was using the power of the Judgment Angel, Kayle.
"Let's get those four bothersome guys out of here first…" Seeing Mei Terumī and the other three Kage struggling against the First Hokage's powerful Wood Style, Kaoru couldn't help but let out a wry smile. The former Kage fighting them hadn't put them under so much pressure, yet the First Hokage had already thrown them into a tough fight with just one move.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!!!" As Kaoru formed hand seals, over a dozen identical clones of himself instantly appeared around him. These dozen-plus shadow clones possessed the same abilities.
Kaoru had no problem with this extremely chakra-consuming ninjutsu now. Let alone four, even hundreds or thousands like Naruto would be perfectly fine. After all, Kaoru's current chakra reserves were greater than Naruto's and the Nine-Tails combined!!!
After creating four shadow clones, Kaoru willed it, and the four shadow clones instantly transformed into four bolts of lightning, leaving Kaoru's main body.
...
Meanwhile, the four Kage, who were struggling to cope with the First Hokage's Wood Style, suddenly found Kaoru's shadow clones appearing beside them in their exhaustion and despair.
"You…" Mei Terumī had just incinerated the vines wrapping around her with Lava Style when Kaoru's shadow clone instantly appeared beside her and unceremoniously scooped her up!
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm saving your life!" Kaoru's shadow clone coldly interrupted Mei Terumī's words and flew directly towards his main body with her.
On the other side, Kaoru's other three shadow clones also arrived beside the remaining three Kage, rescuing them from their predicament and bringing them to Kaoru's main body. Of course, the other three Kage didn't receive such gentle treatment; they were all grabbed by the arm and brought over by Kaoru's shadow clones. The Raikage had it the worst; Kaoru's shadow clone directly grabbed him by the feet and dragged him back.
In the next moment, the Kage's guards and Mifune of the Land of Iron were all rescued by Kaoru from the Flower Tree World.
"Sixth Hokage, thank you…" Mei Terumī said, her words of gratitude filled with complex emotions as she looked at Kaoru.
Since she couldn't fly, she was still in Kaoru's arms. However, Mei Terumī didn't resist and lay there limply, feeling at ease.
"Sixth Hokage, do you have a way to deal with Hashirama Senju? The God of Shinobi… his strength is truly terrifying." Gaara looked down, his face grim.
"I think… the First Hokage will likely require all five of us Kage to face him together to have any chance…" Ōnoki analyzed cautiously.
"But if we go deal with the First Hokage, what about the rest of you Kage?" the Fourth Raikage also said anxiously.
"You don't need to worry. Let's proceed with the original plan. I'll handle the First Hokage alone. I brought you here only to prevent you from being caught in my subsequent ninjutsu… and to save your lives, by the way," Kaoru said calmly.
"Could it be that the Sixth Hokage has a method to counter this Flower Tree World Descent?" Mei Terumī asked, her eyes constantly scanning Kaoru.
"Of course… just watch…" Kaoru didn't look at the four Kage but gazed at Hashirama Senju before him, his eyes unwavering and his expression nonchalant. "If Hashirama Senju is only at this level… then he's truly disappointing."
"What did you say…"
Just as the four Kage were stunned by Kaoru's words, what he did next shocked them even more!
"Roar of the Raging Waves!!!"
Facing the sky-obscuring giant trees and vines attacking from all directions, Kaoru remained motionless. The vast power of the primordial river within his body instantly erupted, condensing into an intensely white light before him. In the next moment, a massive, clear torrent of water surged forth from the light, powerfully spreading in all directions!
RUMBLE!!!!
A deafening roar of water echoed through the air, as if the forest had been transported to the seaside and encountered a once-in-a-century tsunami! To Hashirama Senju's stunned eyes, he saw the forest he had created being frantically destroyed.
The entire sea of trees and forest created by Hashirama Senju's Wood Style was instantly washed away by the massive tide released by Kaoru. Countless trees were swept up, crushed, and swallowed in an instant!
The landscape of the canyon changed once again. It was no longer a barren wasteland, nor a dense forest, but a vast expanse of water!
Looking at the entire canyon transformed into a vast ocean, the dreamlike spectacle of the landscape changing drastically made everyone who witnessed it gasp in awe.
"This level of Water Style… has he gotten stronger again…" Seeing this vast lake, Obito didn't dare to deactivate his Kamui intangibility, fearing Kaoru might seize the opportunity to kill him instantly.
"How is this possible… Wood Style was instantly countered. This Water Style has almost completely surpassed Tobirama's…" Hashirama Senju looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
One must know that his Wood Style was not simply a combination of Water and Earth nature transformations. It also incorporated the powerful Yang Release of his Sage Mode. These were not ordinary plants or wood but living matter imbued with life, vastly different from Yamato's Wood Style.
"Lord First Hokage, you seem quite surprised." Kaoru said with extreme indifference, looking at the incredulous expression on Hashirama Senju's face. "This Water Style of mine can be called the strongest Water Style. Even compared to your brother, I can say without hesitation… it is absolutely superior to his."
After Hashirama Senju unleashed the formidable Wood Style, Flower Tree World Descent, Kaoru directly used the S-rank ultimate ability of the Tidecaller, Nami: Tidecaller's Roar, destroying the entire forest in one blow!
"I admit that Tobirama's Water Style was indeed inferior to yours." Hashirama Senju couldn't help but nod.
"Alright, whether it's Hashirama Senju or Yakushi Kabuto controlling you from behind, if you don't intend to unleash your full power… then I might consider sealing you directly!" Kaoru said, landing back on the lake with the other four Kage, looking at Hashirama Senju.
"I truly never imagined that in this era of peace, a ninja like you would appear…" Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Hashirama Senju's resolute face, but his eyes blazed with intense battle intent. "Although I don't wish to be your enemy, I'm sorry… I really want to fight you…"
"Is that so? Lord First Hokage is truly willful. Since that's the case, I'll accompany you to the end…" Kaoru said calmly, a smile playing on his lips.
"Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!!!"
As the two spoke, Hashirama Senju brought his hands together before his chest. Instantly, a towering, colossal Wood Golem rose from the ground, reaching a height of a hundred meters, similar to Uchiha Madara's Perfect Susanoo.
A massive wood dragon coiled around it, as if it could pluck stars and moons from the sky. Although composed solely of wood, infused with the Yang Release power of Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode, it was even more formidable than tempered steel!
"So… so huge!!!" Looking up at the colossal Wood Golem towering before them, the four Kage's minds went blank. From the beginning until now, Kaoru's exchange with the First Hokage… had already surpassed their comprehension.
Unlike the astonished and awestruck expressions of everyone present, Kaoru's face remained calm as he looked at the massive, towering Wood Golem before him.
Unlike the astonished and awestruck expressions of everyone present, Kaoru's face remained calm as he looked at the massive, towering Wood Golem before him, even showing a hint of disappointment.
"A Wood Golem like this… its power seems to be about the same as Uchiha Madara's when he was reanimated…"
It was almost unimaginable for others that the Wood Golem Jutsu, capable of matching a Perfect Susanoo and catching a Tailed Beast Bomb with one hand, unleashed by the God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju, would only elicit such a calm reaction from Kaoru.
