Hashirama Senju's Seal!
The reasons are familiar.
The same familiar reason as always.
Shirou Emiya looked calmly at Hashirama Senju, as if he had known all along that his old friend would make a move at this moment, and there was not even a hint of surprise on his face.
After all...
This was within his expectations.
Even if Hashirama Senju might feel ashamed for the mistakes his younger brother Tobirama Senju made, he could not possibly turn a blind eye to the crisis Konoha faced.
Shirou Emiya did not answer Hashirama Senju, but calmly instructed Nagato and Konan: "You two retreat towards the outskirts of Konoha, I will cover you..."
The battle that follows...
That is the real danger.
Even though Shirou Emiya had a plan for this, it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with these Hokage with his S-rank Chakra limited by his Impure World Reincarnation body.
But...
They also have their own contingency plans.
In any case, this place cannot be described as dangerous.
"Lord Shirou..."
Nagato wanted to say something more.
"Leaving would be as easy as turning my head."
Shirou Emiya looked at the Hokage who were rapidly adjusting their formation and closing in, and gently shook his head. "Your departure is the most troublesome... and also the most important."
"..."
Nagato lowered his head in silence.
"Walk."
Shirou Emiya gave his order and rushed forward at high speed. His fingers flew up simultaneously, and a Fire Wall blocked the way for the Hokage!
A real showdown...
This is just the beginning!
"Water Style: Water Surge!"
Tobirama Senju hand Hand Seals. His technique required Hand Seals, and he was a step slower than Shirou Emiya. Instantly, waves of water surged up around him, engulfing the Fire Wall!
The fusion of water and fire...
Instantly, fog filled the battlefield!
However, this little bit of fog posed no obstacle to the two sides in the battle. Their perception abilities were so advanced that they no longer needed to worry about the fog obstructing their vision, and they immediately determined each other's positions!
But...
This made the Hokage of Konoha realize that something was wrong...
Nagato and Konan have already escaped following Shirou Emiya's orders.
Although Nagato had expended a lot of Chakra in the previous battle, he didn't seem like Konoha the other Konoha ninjas could handle...
Just as Hashirama Senju and the others were about to discuss countermeasures, a beam of emerald green light from a Chakra Scalpel pierced through the mist and swept towards them!
"Careful!"
Tobirama Senju could only shout a warning to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya. He easily dodged the attack, but one after another, emerald green blades of light stretched out towards him!
"Charge!"
Hashirama Senju Shirou Emiya leaped into the air and charged towards Chakra Emiya, his fist glowing with chakra as he slammed into Shirou Emiya's body!
At the same time, Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze threw Flying Thunder God Kunai at Shibari Shirou Emiya, and the two Hokage launched an attack in support of the First Hokage!
"Watch Rinnegan!"
Jiraiya repeatedly reminded everyone!
"Yes, Jiraiya- sensei!"
Minato Namikaze quickly and loudly agreed.
Because in the previous battle, Nagato, another Rinnegan user, did not understand the Flying Raijin God Technique well enough, which allowed them to easily gain the upper hand. But now they have to deal with Rinnegan and has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique Shirou Emiya Technique!
To put it bluntly...
Based on Shirou Emiya's speed in the Body Flicker Technique just now... it must be no less than his and the Second Hokage's. This time it might be a fierce battle!
Just as expected!
When Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju appeared next to Shirou Emiya using the Flying Thunder God Technique, just like before, Shirou Emiya reacted extremely quickly. He leaped up and simultaneously launched a flying kick with both legs, sending Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju same time!
But...
This gave Hashirama Senju the opportunity to get closer!
However, Shirou Emiya remained unconcerned and directly engaged Hashirama Senju battle, his Chakra Scalpel flying rapidly up and down in his hand!
"His swordsmanship is in no way inferior to Madara's!"
Hashirama Senju's eyes narrowed, and he had no choice but to retreat hastily to avoid it. His figure was forced to retreat step by step under the pressure of the emerald green sword light!
"Direct attack!"
"They are all resurrected from the Impure World Reincarnation, so they won't die from attacks. Don't worry about accidentally harming Big Brother!"
"If we can break through Lord Shirou's body, we'll find a chance to seal him away!"
With a sharp voice, Tobirama Senju took over the command position and loudly directed Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others to launch an attack in the direction where Shirou Emiya and Hashirama Senju were fighting!
However, after Tobirama Senju finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had been unable to seal Shinobu Emiya even with the Shirou Emiya Dead Demon Consuming Seal. His eyes lowered slightly, and he revised his answer to a less certain one.
"Perhaps... it's possible."
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, however, immediately began Hand Seals, hastily releasing an Earth Release Ninjutsu to command the attack, followed by a Fire Release Ninjutsu: "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
A clay dragon head quickly emerged from the ground, constantly spewing out mud bullets. With the help of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, the mud bullets in the dragon head's mouth were instantly covered with a layer of flames!
It was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen's signature composite Ninjutsu, Earth Dragon Flame Flow!
Shirou Emiya was completely unconcerned. With his Chakra Scalpel, he slashed through the air, leaving trails of emerald green as he shattered the incoming fireballs!
"Chance!"
Tobirama Senju saw an opportunity at a glance and quietly threw out the Flying Thunder God Kunai, which was mixed in with the flying fireballs!
The next moment!
As Shirou Emiya attacked Hashirama Senju while clearing away the incoming fireballs, Tobirama Senju suddenly appeared within three feet of him!
As soon Tobirama Senju gripped his Kunai, he was about to slit open Shirou Emiya's chest. A single hit would be enough to incapacitate Shirou Emiya!
However...
His only response was a dazzling blade of light!
Shirou Emiya raised his eyes slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Tobirama Senju's appearance. A dazzling emerald green blade flashed, instantly cleaving Tobirama Senju in two!
"Tobirama!"
"Second!"
Everyone present was startled!
This attack...
It actually looks quite hidden.
Despite facing a formidable enemy like the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and having to be wary of Sarutobi Hiruzen's Ninjutsu, Shirou Emiya still managed to keep an eye on Tobirama Senju's movements!
To put it bluntly...
When Tobirama Senju appeared using the Flying Raijin God Body Flicker Technique, Shirou Emiya was already prepared to unleash a strike that would kill him instantly!
"Everything about you..."
"None of these are secrets to me."
Shirou Emiya watched Tobirama Senju's Impure World Reincarnation Body slowly reform, a black rod instantly emerged from his palm, pinning Tobirama Senju's body to the ground!
Shirou Emiya had seen Tobirama Senju's memories, and in countless battles Tobirama Senju had experienced, it had been shown that Tobirama Senju was a ninja who extremely liked to use risky moves in pursuit of quick victories.
Perhaps it was because his Chakra was inferior to his brother's, or perhaps it was because in the Warring States Period, one could die at the slightest carelessness, that Tobirama Senju had become deeply accustomed to this risky fighting style.
"..."
Tobirama Senju tried to break free from the restraints of the black rod!
However, these Yin Yang Release Black Rod severed his Chakra connection, rendering his Impure World Reincarnation Body unable to move even though it had begun to rebuild!
"We must rescue the Second!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately assessed the situation. "Although the First Hokage is evenly matched with Lord Shirou, he is being suppressed by that unparalleled swordsmanship, and it's impossible to determine a winner in the short term..."
Although he, Minato Namikaze, and Jiraiya were still on the battlefield, he and Jiraiya could only unleash a few Ninjutsu from the sidelines to offer some support. Their Ninjutsu was no match for Shirou Emiya's, so it was hard to say what significant achievements they could make...
Even though Minato, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, can play a role in battles that exceed the Kage-level, his role is still quite limited!
After all...
Minato's fighting style often relies on the high-speed teleportation of the Flying Raijin Technique for surprise close-quarters combat, and he doesn't have any powerful techniques, which is precisely what Shirou Emiya is able to counter!
"Sage Mode - Activated!"
Minato Namikaze was acutely aware of his weaknesses, and immediately clasped his hands together to enter Sage Mode. A glint of light appeared in his eyes. "Although I'm not good at using Sage Mode, the physical enhancements it provides should make up for it somewhat in battle..."
"Hey, you blond brat, lend a hand a little!"
Hashirama Senju immediately noticed Minato Namikaze's change and loudly Minato Namikaze him to buy him some time. "I've got it! Buy me some time, I've found a way to deal with Lord Shirou!"
"Yes!"
Minato Namikaze immediately lunged forward, instantly conjuring a Rasengan in his hand to meet Shirou Emiya's Chakra Scalpel: "Sage Art: Rasengan!"
"It's meaningless."
Shirou Emiya didn't care about Minato Namikaze's Sage Mode. He suddenly flicked his finger, and the soil instantly churned up, trying to trap Minato Namikaze in it!
Minato Namikaze was caught off guard and almost fell victim to the attack. He originally wanted to use the Flying Raijin to avoid this insidious Earth Release, but once he dodged it, Hashirama Senju behind him would definitely be pressed forward again. He needed to buy time at this moment!
Minato Namikaze didn't care about anything else. He ignored the fact that one of his feet was stuck in the ground and that he was out of control. He forcefully raised the Rasengan and slammed it at Shirou Emiya!
This out-of-control attack...
Naturally, this approach is unlikely to work at this time.
However...
Suddenly, vines rose up from the ground!
These vines quickly wrapped around Shirou Emiya's body!
Shirou Emiya could only hastily give up the opportunity to defeat Minato Namikaze, and wielded his emerald green sword light to cut down the vines one by one!
"Call..."
Hashirama Senju watched his Wood Release entangle Shirou Emiya, a hint of lingering fear and awe crossed his face. He even felt a touch of admiration for his close-quarters combat with Shirou Emiya: "It was truly terrifying. One strike after another came crashing down. A moment's carelessness and you'd be instantly killed. You couldn't even catch your breath to gather Chakra and unleash a Ninjutsu..."
But...
As long as I can unleash Ninjutsu...
Then there will be no problem with the battle that follows.
"Sage Mode - Activated!"
Hashirama Senju also noticed this, and his hands instantly closed, entering Sage Mode at the same moment, because he wanted to solve the technique of Shirou Emiya, which was a powerful Sealing Jutsu technique that could only be used in Sage Mode!
Hashirama Senju clenched his hands together, watching Shirou Emiya approaching rapidly in the distance, while hastily activating his Sealing Jutsu technique!
"Sage Art: Myriad Divine Gates!"
Suddenly, torii gates fell from the sky!
Caught completely off guard, Shirou Emiya gates and rendered unable to move!
"Finally..."
Hashirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief.
This Sealing Jutsu, called Myriad Divine Gates, is enough to easily suppress the Tailed Beast of the Shinobi World. It should be no problem to suppress Shirou Emiya for a period of time, rendering him unable to move.
"First Master, did you succeed?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen landed in front of Hashirama Senju, finally able to relax a little.
"No..."
Hashirama Senju shook his head, gazing at Shirou Emiya. His expression turned serious again. "Myriad Divine Gates can only suppress the Chakra within Lord Shirou for a period of time..."
During this time...
They must find a way to deal with Shirou Emiya.
If they can't find it, once Shirou Emiya breaks free of Myriad Divine Gates's restraints...
However, compared to the many Hokage of Konoha who were on high alert, the sealed Shirou Emiya seemed to have lost all will to fight. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't care much about the trouble of being sealed by Myriad Divine Gates.
