After absorbing the chakra of tens of thousands of ninja—combined with his own Sage Mode and the blessing of natural energy—Senju Hashirama's power surpassed even his peak in life.
With enough chakra at last—
he unleashed his ultimate technique.
---
"Sage Art: Wood Release — True Several Thousand Hands!"
---
Chakra erupted violently.
Behind him, the colossal Senju Great Buddha began to rise—
towering over the battlefield.
Once fully formed, Hashirama leapt onto its head.
---
Inside the stone cave—
Uchiha Madara clenched his fists tightly.
"…That move…"
"Back then… it was this technique that broke my Beast of Salvation."
---
"Tian Qi… no—Isamu…"
"Can you withstand it this time?"
---
For the first time—
Madara felt uneasy.
---
"If you kill my son…"
"I will destroy this world without hesitation."
---
Since losing Uchiha Izuna—
Isamu was his last remaining family.
---
If the Senju took that from him too—
there would be no restraint left.
---
Back on the battlefield—
Isamu stared at the thousand-meter Great Buddha.
The pressure alone—
was suffocating.
---
Could his Beast of Salvation withstand it?
He didn't know.
---
But one thing was certain—
he couldn't lose.
---
Behind him—
the forty Uchiha stood frozen.
---
That massive figure…
That overwhelming presence…
---
Doubt crept into their hearts.
---
Uchiha Zhan saw it—
and exploded in fury.
---
"What are you afraid of?!"
"The Clan Leader hasn't given up—yet you've already lost your spirit?!"
---
"You're not worthy of being Uchiha!"
---
"If you're scared—get out!"
"I don't need cowards!"
---
"Those who aren't afraid of death—follow me!"
---
Without hesitation—
he charged forward.
---
"Ha! It's just a giant statue!"
Uchiha Feng roared, following behind.
"Everyone's got one life—what's there to fear?!"
---
Uchiha Gao Li and the others clenched their teeth.
"Damn it… if he's going, so are we!"
---
One by one—
they followed.
---
Soon—
all of them stood behind Isamu.
---
Fifty meters away—
they stopped.
---
Zhan spoke.
---
"We won't let the Clan Leader fight alone."
"Everyone—join hands!"
---
They formed a circle—
and released everything.
---
Their chakra surged forward—
forming a stream—
flowing directly into Isamu.
---
His eyes widened.
"Zhan—what are you doing?!"
---
Zhan shouted back:
"You're our leader—our brother!"
"So what if it's Hashirama?!"
"Take our strength—and crush him!"
---
"That's right, Clan Leader!"
"You must win!"
---
Then—
one by one—
they collapsed.
---
Drained.
---
Powerless.
---
Isamu stood frozen.
---
Something deep inside him—
shifted.
---
This warmth…
this connection…
---
So this…
was what the Sage meant.
---
"Don't worry…"
---
"I won't lose."
---
He closed his eyes—
and entered his inner world.
---
Before him—
the Tailed Beasts stood in silence.
---
"This is our final battle."
"Lend me everything."
---
Without hesitation—
they stepped forward.
---
"All of it… is yours."
---
Chakra surged.
---
Back in reality—
Isamu opened his eyes.
---
Half of that power—
he gave to Kurama.
---
Then—
he roared.
---
"Super Beast of Salvation!!!"
---
"ROOOOAR!!!"
---
Kurama's body expanded—
growing—
growing—
---
Until it matched the Great Buddha.
---
A thousand meters tall.
---
Susanoo armor expanded with it—
perfectly synchronized.
---
Now—
two titans stood face to face.
---
Hashirama frowned.
"…You've reached this level too."
---
But he didn't hesitate.
---
"I'll show you…"
"the true power of comrades!"
---
The Great Buddha charged forward.
---
Isamu responded instantly.
---
"Enough talk!"
"Today—I'll crush you!"
---
Kurama surged forward—
meeting him head-on.
---
"Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands!!!"
---
Thousands of arms—
descended.
---
"Kurama!"
---
"Got it!"
---
"Super Tailed Beast Barrage!"
---
Countless Tailed Beast Balls—
launched.
---
"Susanoo: Continuous Slash!"
---
Blades carved through the air—
wave after wave.
---
The attacks merged—
transforming into countless Rasenshuriken-like projectiles.
---
They clashed.
---
"BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—!!!"
---
The battlefield collapsed.
---
The ground shattered—
cracking open in massive fissures.
---
Mountains crumbled.
---
The sky darkened.
---
Each collision—
reshaped the land.
---
The earth sank—
and distant seawater surged in.
---
Volcanoes erupted—
forced awake by their power.
---
Across the world—
buildings collapsed.
---
Civilians fled in panic.
---
The entire Ninja World—
descended into chaos.
---
It was no longer a battle.
---
It was—
the apocalypse.
