Chakra erupted directly from Tsunade's body, and the green robe bearing the character for "gamble" billowed wildly behind her.
She clapped her hands together and formed a seal.
"Wood Release—Gambler's Technique!"
A Wood Golem comparable to the fourth stage of Susanoo rose from the ground.
However, this Wood Golem differed from Hashirama Senju's. It was not the giant Buddha from Senya's memories, but a ferocious-looking gambler with a vicious, sinister face.
A string of wooden dice hung around its neck, while a huge character for "gamble" was written across its back.
Watching Tsunade's Wood Golem Jutsu, Senya could not help comparing it to the Wood Golem Jutsu used by Obito and Hashirama.
Hashirama's was a Buddha statue because his ideal was peace.
Obito's was simply an enormous Wood Golem with no distinct traits, though a spiral pattern marked its face. That was because Obito could only perform Wood Golem Jutsu with Tobi's help.
As for Tsunade's Wood Golem Jutsu before him—no, it ought to be called Gambler's Technique. After all, gambling was Tsunade's greatest pleasure, so it made sense.
As he carefully sensed Tsunade's Chakra, Senya detected fluctuations similar to Hashirama Cells within her, yet they were somewhat different. They had already been completely assimilated by Tsunade's own cells.
This was completely unlike Yamato and Obito.
It reminded Senya of when he had helped Orochimaru restore his body.
"Orochimaru must have made quite a few deals with Fugaku..."
That was right. From Senya's perception, the Wood Release cells in Tsunade's body had most likely been created by transplanting Hashirama Cells and then repairing the damage with Izanagi.
Otherwise, Tsunade's cells should have been eroded by Hashirama Cells, rather than Hashirama Cells being assimilated by Tsunade's own cells.
At the same time, Uchiha Hikari watched the Wood Golem rise before her.
