Apart from the Yin attribute, Senju Hashirama was a powerhouse who mastered the other six chakra attributes. Although he primarily utilized Wood Style in combat, it did not mean he was incapable of using other ninjutsu.
Just like right now, he swung a punch, his body instantly hardening while violently burning with terrifying flame energy.
Adamantine Power: Immobility.
With a wild roar, the momentum Senju Hashirama had built up exploded like a horizontal volcanic eruption.
Using his right fist, which was blanketed by thick fire, as the driving engine, he forcefully dragged his body forward and smashed straight toward Shiraishi's face—incredibly fast and fierce!
This technique originally concentrated Wood attribute chakra into the hand to smash the target alongside the ground together, subsequently causing a vast oasis to grow from the earth. Although it was currently burning with colossal flames, it was simply another mode of Adamantine Power.
Bang!
Sage Art: Dragon Claw!
Dark radiance condensed around Shiraishi's dragon claw. Punch and claw clashed together, causing fire to splatter in all directions.
However, the absolute majority of the flames encountered an icy freezing force; as it fused with and tore through everything, it exhausted itself, growing dim and extinguishing. There were even a few translucent snowflakes drifting in mid-air.
Extreme Cold Frost-Flame!
The bizarre, icy fire continuously spread across Senju Hashirama's body, seemingly corroding his soul.
Compared to the violent nature of the Blue Flame, the operational methodology of the Extreme Cold Frost-Flame was far more sinister and malicious, making even Senju Hashirama click his tongue in admiration.
"This is the first time I've ever witnessed this kind of fire; does it fuse the characteristics of both ice and fire?"
Although the Extreme Cold Frost-Flame was not as famous as Shiraishi's Blue Flame, as one of Shiraishi's signature flame abilities, the Konoha side had still done their homework for the past Hokages before the war.
Under the control of his immense Wood Style power, Senju Hashirama slowly broke free from the assault of the Extreme Cold Frost-Flame, returning to normal.
He truly deserved his reputation as the First Hokage with matchless vitality; this single display alone manifested a terrifying life force and recovery rate that surpassed even the Uzumaki clan.
"Then, let us continue."
Senju Hashirama straightened his spine and back, launching another punch in an exceptionally dominant and highly aggressive stance, looking like a prairie fire.
In a continuous sequence of wild assaults, the Extreme Cold Frost-Flame blanketed over Shiraishi was forcefully shattered by his fists. Shiraishi could not break away and could only defend passively, yet he did not display the slightest trace of panic, maintaining an exceptionally clear consciousness as he fought the First Hokage.
The First Hokage's close-combat capability was extremely powerful—this was glaringly obvious if one compared him to Uchiha Madara.
Furthermore, continuously fighting at close quarters suppressed Shiraishi's performance, preventing him from using Magnet Style or other ninjutsu reactions.
He truly was the God of Shinobi who ended the chaotic era of the Warring States; he was indeed an opponent worth looking forward to.
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, was also marveling at his opponent's strength. One had to know that his own close-quarters physical combat capability was even more formidable than Madara's, yet he hadn't expected that the Kazekage opposite him wasn't falling into a disadvantage at all.
In reality, the training results of Shiraishi's past continuous life-and-death battles against Unohana Retsu were thoroughly highlighted at this very millisecond.
As the surrounding fire grew more and more intense, Shiraishi suddenly shouted out. His left fist smashed out alongside the swelling of his muscles, and the fire of the Blue Flame abruptly emerged.
The blue fire heavily covered the area; it appeared to be only a small amount, but in reality, the quantity was exceptionally massive. If it were to directly explode, it could flatten a ten-meter radius into a wasteland.
Senju Hashirama's expression did not change in the slightest. His half-lowered left arm suddenly tensed up and swung backward.
Five wooden dragons coiled within the surrounding area seemed to receive a summons, instantly rushing over madly and abruptly swallowing the Blue Flame.
Seeing this, Shiraishi condensed a cluster of dazzling photons upon his finger, which abruptly burst apart and detonated straight onto the wooden dragons.
However, the First Hokage was also decisive; the wooden dragons merged back into his body, transforming into a specialized Kai character symbol.
Photon Geyser!
A sudden light flared up. Dust and smoke accompanied by expanding flames transformed into a mushroom-like cloud rising into the sky.
The deafening sound of the explosion finally echoed outward only at this moment, causing the minds of both sides on the battlefield—who had long prepared themselves—to experience a buzzing ring.
Before the terrifying shockwave could even subside, Senju Hashirama had already endured a certain amount of damage, breaking through the heavy obstacles like a soldier walking through a hail of bullets.
Although his body was continuously blown apart, because of the state of the Impure World Reincarnation, his physical vessel could continuously resurrect. He finally closed the distance to Shiraishi, his fist hammering down with brute physical force.
He can directly take my Photon Geyser with his bare physical body?
Seeing this, a massive Magnet Style domain coiled around Shiraishi's body, and countless colossal metal hands plummeted down dominantly.
On the distant battlefield, Aoki Shigeru watched his father display such grand power, a highly bright light appearing in his gaze for a time, and the same was true for Gaara.
"You two idiots, don't lose focus on the battlefield!"
Uzumaki Tomoko released countless white bone hands, rapidly piercing through two Konoha shinobi before cursing at them.
It had to be said that the combat between Shiraishi and Senju Hashirama was exceptionally shocking.
The two sides had triggered such a fierce and vicious battle based merely on an exploratory phase of standard physical bodies; among their moves, that specific technique which released a massive amount of light was, according to intelligence, the ultimate move that destroyed the Hidden Rain Village.
A terrifying technique of this caliber was something Senju Hashirama could block without any hesitation, though this was naturally related to his current Impure World Reincarnation physiology.
Confronted by the countless silver giant hands released by Shiraishi, Senju Hashirama wove hand seals to deploy his most practiced Wood Style: Hotei Technique!
Innumerable wooden hands continuously emerged from around Senju Hashirama, giving people an exceptionally shocking visual experience.
This technique sent chakra into the ground to produce countless wooden hands that could be manipulated completely at will. Compared to the Wood Human Technique, which drove a massive wooden giant, its versatility and mobility were relatively higher.
Because although this technique would release many colossal hands, the time required for activation was remarkably short, and the enemy had no idea where those hands would appear. This unpredictable capability made it difficult for ordinary people to evade.
It could even catch the blade of a Susanoo that was capable of splitting mountain peaks with its bare hands, and it could also grab the four limbs of the Nine-Tails to pin the Nine-Tails flat onto the ground.
During the battle at the Valley of the End, Hashirama had utilized this technique to grab the tail of the Majestic Attire: Susanoo, though it was eventually sliced open by the blade.
The metal giant hands and the Wood Style hands violently collided against each other in mid-air, transforming into a brilliant and eye-catching ninjutsu duel.
The longer Senju Hashirama fought, the more excited he became. He had never expected that upon returning to this shinobi world, he would encounter such a powerful opponent, making him thrilled.
Because the combat range between Shiraishi and Senju Hashirama was simply too vast, Unohana Retsu and Senju Tobirama each retreated back to their respective boundaries. Namikaze Minato used a single Body Flicker to manifest beside Senju Tobirama.
"Lord Second, the Fifth Kazekage masters a specialized space-time ninjutsu; it seems to be a formula-less variation of the Flying Thunder God?"
Although Shiraishi utilized Teleportation very few times, Namikaze Minato still keenly perceived that when Shiraishi switched his coordinates for spatial movement, he did not set up any markings structurally identical to the Flying Thunder God.
"A formula-less Flying Thunder God?"
This deduction gave Senju Tobirama a sharp start. If it truly didn't require laying down a Flying Thunder God formula to directly execute a coordinate switch, then in a confrontation involving teleportation combat, their side would become far more passive.
Namikaze Minato stared at Shiraishi upon the distant battlefield: "Aside from this, I have also discovered that the Fifth Kazekage's chakra reserves are almost close to the Nine-Tails, yet I cannot perceive the negative power of any other Tailed Beast inside his body."
