Sukuna Hikona activated, and the spreading sea of trees gradually began to shrink until it completely vanished.
"Now, it's time for you to taste your own ninjutsu!"
Daikokuten activated! The sea of trees instantly reappeared, but this time, it had reversed direction and began spreading toward Hashirama.
Hashirama inwardly cursed. He had actually forgotten about that move.
He immediately fled into the distance, running several hundred meters before escaping the sea of trees.
But what greeted him was Isshiki's rain of Black Rods once more.
With no other choice, Hashirama could only use ninjutsu again to block them.
Fortunately, he possessed a Sage Body. His Chakra recovered incredibly quickly, and he had an enormous amount of it within him.
Otherwise, he simply could not have fought such a prolonged battle.
"You really are strong—much stronger than Madara."
Seeing that neither could gain the upper hand through these mutual probes, Hashirama mounted the Wood Golem and charged straight at Isshiki!
Its enormous fists swung through the air, setting off repeated sonic booms!
Isshiki's eyes widened as he unleashed Great Shutter Heaven, sending several black-and-red cubes hurtling toward Hashirama to block him.
The Wood Golem was huge, but it was also cumbersome. It could not evade Great Shutter Heaven at all.
Seeing this, Hashirama immediately leaped up and used the Wood Clone Technique in midair, rapidly closing in on Isshiki.
Before Isshiki could react, he immediately began a Taijutsu clash.
Two fists could not beat four hands. Although Isshiki's Taijutsu was formidable, Hashirama's two Clones and true body fought him together.
Even Isshiki found it difficult to fend them off.
Hashirama had also noticed the startup of Daikokuten.
This allowed him to evade the technique faster and continue battling Isshiki.
In a Taijutsu exchange, getting hit was inevitable.
