Chapter 145 Opening
Hashirama Senju, who was speeding along, gradually slowed down. Uchiha stood atop Kurama's head, arms crossed, looking down arrogantly, his Sharingan eyes locking onto Hashirama's figure.
Madara knew there were many little mice lurking around, but although he wasn't a sensory ninja, he didn't care.
As Hashirama drew closer, he couldn't help but reveal an excited look of anticipation on his face.
He took a sudden step forward, and as he bent down, he shouted excitedly, "Hashirama!!!"
After approaching to a certain distance, Hashirama stopped on a tree trunk, looked up at Madara, and shouted, "Madara!!!"
The two sides stared at each other, needing no words, only battle!
but...
Hashirama said in a deep voice, "Madara, this isn't the place to fight. Let's find another place!"
"Hmph!" said the freckled-haired man. "Whatever!"
Immediately, Hashirama used his Body Flicker to speed away from the village. Then, Madara stomped his foot, and Kurama began to gallop. Under his massive body, the forest along the way lay low like weeds at his feet. The earth trembled as he ran, and a strong wind howled and swept around.
"It's been moved!" Mito said.
Jielu waved his hand and said, "Follow me."
Immediately, the seven people instantly left their original positions and moved along with the others.
In the air, unaware of the situation, he formed hand seals and carried the three people, floating among the clouds.
Meanwhile, the seven members of the Hidden Cloud Village set off at the same time.
Hidden in the sand, massive black clouds surged and flew swiftly in mid-air.
When all parties sprang into action, the march lasted for nearly an hour. During this time, many of Konoha's Chunin were unable to maintain the high-speed march and fell behind the ranks. Next came the Jonin, who were sweating profusely due to the severe depletion of their chakra. Once they were far enough away from Konoha, the group stopped again.
Looking around at the dense forest, with no valleys but only a river, Jieluo suddenly realized that this was the true Valley of the End, a terrain that Hashirama and Madara had forcibly created.
The blood-red sunset hung in the sky, slowly sinking into the ground, while the bright moon quietly appeared in the sky.
"The two sides' chakra are clashing," Mito reported on the battle, saying, "They've started fighting. Kurama's chakra hasn't fluctuated significantly and hasn't been used yet. It looks like they're just exchanging taijutsu."
Physical techniques?
Are they having a skipping contest?
Yura sensed the emotions of both sides: Madara, filled with excitement and innocence, and Hashirama, filled with murderous intent.
The two people know each other inside and out, and conventional methods are no different from children playing around with each other.
It hasn't reached the point of resorting to lethal force yet.
Thus, a short while later, the climax suddenly arrived.
"It's here!" Mito suddenly looked up, gazing into the distance, and exclaimed, "A massive gathering of chakra! This is a Tailed Beast Ball!"
Along with the feeling of an earthquake, one after another enormous wooden dragon rose in the distance. Even though the straight-line distance was more than ten kilometers, the wooden dragon was still huge. The entire forest was in turmoil, writhing like a group of pythons, and the earth trembled violently.
"What...is this...?"
When everyone witnessed Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World for the first time, their pupils contracted in unison, even Mito was no exception.
Jieluo propped her chin on her hand, looking at this familiar scene, sensing the chaotic emotions coming from all directions, and stood up.
Hashirama couldn't resist and struck first, ending the playful exchange.
This distance is no longer safe.
"Retreat." With that, Jieluo turned and vanished in an instant. The others glanced back, then followed suit, occasionally looking back.
In the distance, the Nine-Tails opened its mouth wide, its Yin and Yang chakra gathering into a ball. Just as it opened its mouth, about to unleash the Tailed Beast Ball, a massive wooden dragon rushed down from beneath Hashirama. The dragon's head struck the Nine-Tails, deflecting the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball.
Directly opposite, above the surging black clouds of iron sand, the eyelids of the three Sand Village members twitched simultaneously.
They're aiming at us!
Retsuto had seen Tailed Beast Balls before, the one that One-Tailed Beast had spewed, but this one in front of him felt even more deadly than One-Tailed Beast Balls.
Immediately afterwards, the wooden dragon coiled around the nine-tailed fox's body, like a python constricting its prey, and then opened its mouth and roared at the nine-tailed fox.
Under Madara's control, Kurama tilted its head to face the roaring wooden dragon and spat out a Tailed Beast Ball. The Tailed Beast Ball smashed into the wooden dragon's mouth. The stalemate lasted less than a second before the entire wooden dragon's head was crushed and shattered by the Tailed Beast Ball. Its momentum did not diminish as it headed straight for Hashirama above the sea of wood.
Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together, and a giant wooden hand emerged from the thick tree trunk beneath him, catching the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Lord Kazekage, the Hidden Mist Village has just retreated," Shamon said.
Lie Dou's pupils contracted.
You caught it!?
He actually grabbed the Tailed Beast Ball with just one hand!?
But the Tailed Beast Ball hasn't exploded yet?
Why?
In another direction, the First Raikage, the Second Raikage, and the Third Raikage all stared at the violent scene before them, their pupils shrinking in shock.
Is this really the power of a ninja?
In the air, Wu Shen's expression was heavy.
What kind of technique is this?
Wood Release: Wood Human Technique. Grabbing the Tailed Beast Ball with one hand, the massive wooden figure then appeared beneath Hashirama's feet, dragging him along. It then slammed the Tailed Beast Ball right in Madara's face.
Wielding both the Uchiha fan and the ninja scythe, Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly in his eyes, and azure chakra erupted from in front of him, causing a giant Susanoo to rapidly appear and block Kurama's attack. Madara crossed his hands into swords to intercept the Tailed Beast Ball.
Under the impact, the hurricane swept violently in all directions, causing the surrounding forest to undulate and tremble like waves, with smoke and dust billowing up.
Everyone realized they had to retreat!
But it's a bit late!
In just a few seconds, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded.
A colossal orange-red sphere of light expanded and rose in the blink of an eye, landing on the earth. Shockwaves swept outwards in all directions, and instantly, a tsunami of air and dust hundreds of meters high surged forward with devastation. The shockwaves engulfed everything in sight, causing a violent earthquake that seemed to shake the entire world.
All I could hear was the continuous roar of the engine.
From a distance, Yura turned around to look at the enormous Tailed Beast Ball that stood between heaven and earth.
As expected of the Nine-Tails in its complete form, its attack wave is much larger and stronger than that of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails.
"Mito," Yura said, and the others followed Yura's footsteps and stopped, standing on a section of tree trunk.
Mito nodded without saying much. Eight Vajra Locks extended from his back, the chains weaving nimbly through the forest. Facing the approaching, overwhelming shockwave, which resembled a natural disaster, he formed a mudra with his hands in front of his chest.
Vajra Sealing Barrier.
An invisible barrier rose up, its framework made of Vajra-sealed chains, enveloping the group within a radius of several dozen meters. Then, the impact arrived. The group watched as ripples spread across the barrier, which was bombarded by endless debris. They waited patiently for the impact to subside.
Several tens of seconds passed, and the smoke and dust from the impact subsided. The lush trees in the surrounding mountains and forests were all uprooted by the impact, turning into barren land. As far as the eye could see, jagged cracks spread across the land. In the center of the battlefield in the distance, a huge column of thick black smoke rose up, its tumbling shape resembling a mushroom.
Behind Jie Luo, Huan Yue and the others were drenched in sweat.
