Amid the surging shockwaves, Blood Shadow Soji and Reanimated Hashirama Senju both remained unmoved. At that moment, it seemed as though they could see no one but each other.
"This strange Blood Shadow is a little troublesome!"
Reanimated Hashirama Senju watched as Wood Release and Ice Release canceled each other out, silently thinking to himself.
Originally, Reanimated Hashirama Senju had intended to enter Sage Mode, but the sacrifices Orochimaru had used to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu were simply too poor!
Unable to wield even half of his peak strength, Reanimated Hashirama Senju could not instantly enter Sage Mode as he had in life.
It was like how the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, had used Fission in the original story, leaving him unable to use the power of Kekkei Tōta Dust Release.
To put it bluntly, Reanimated Hashirama Senju meant that this opponent was tough to handle!
But Blood Shadow Soji did not care what Reanimated Hashirama Senju was thinking.
Ever since the other party had shown hostility toward Chiyo, Blood Shadow Soji had only one thought: kill him!
Clap!
Blood Shadow Soji brought his hands together, his abdomen swelling as if something were brewing inside his stomach.
Then, he spat out a cloud of Blood Mist carrying endless chill, which swept toward the fully guarded Reanimated Hashirama Senju.
Crack, crack!
A blood-colored version of Ice Breath!
"Wood Release—Wooden Ingot Wall!"
Facing the oncoming icy Blood Mist, Reanimated Hashirama Senju did not choose to clash head-on this time.
After all, Ice Breath was different from Ice Dragon Twin Kill. It was a gaseous attack.
A tangible ninjutsu like Wood Release would be at a severe disadvantage if it tried to confront gaseous Ice Breath directly.
Therefore, someone as battle-hardened as Hashirama Senju would naturally make the best choice.
