Amidst the swirling sand and dust, a figure coughed lightly as he got up from the ground.
"Cough cough, this is really outrageous." Looking at the abnormally twisted wrist, Kyosuke gritted his teeth and snapped the bone back into place.
Its remarkable self-healing ability quickly set the broken wrist bone back together, and incidentally relieved the excruciating pain that kept piercing the nerves.
Without a doubt, Kyosuke was defeated in the battle.
The Advanced Sage Body was much stronger than he had expected; in a head-on confrontation, he was indeed no match for it.
After glancing at his Points, Kyosuke secretly resolved to accumulate 100,000 points as quickly as possible in the coming period.
When the time comes, once I switch to Advanced Sage Body, I guarantee I'll beat Hashirama.
Suddenly, the dust in front parted to the sides, and a large group of giant Shuriken, each over 1.5 meters in diameter, hurtled towards them.
"You still prefer to play some tricks first, Hashirama." A dark golden light shone forth, Three-Stage Susanoo instantly solidified.
The Yata Mirror, an attack method capable of causing heavy casualties to ordinary ninjas, couldn't even make a ripple in front of him.
He darted away from his original spot, and with a light leap, Kyosuke instantly covered a distance of more than twenty meters.
Before the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Hashirama's figure had nowhere to hide.
Water Release: Water Fang: Hundred Dragon Rampage!
After his strength officially reached the Super Kage, he no longer needed to create a water-rich environment beforehand.
A hundred water dragons roared into the sky, their sharp teeth gleaming, and the trees along the way were powerless to stop them.
Once Bai Longba's power dissipated, there were no longer any obstacles between him and his enemies.
The three Susanoo appeared, and the transformed Kusanagi Sword, carrying the power to cleave heaven and earth, forcefully cleaved the Demon Mask below, leaving cracks in its surface.
"The Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall, huh? It seems your training is still lacking."
During the Valley of the End, the Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall could withstand a full-force attack from Majestic Attire: Susanoo; its defensive power was simply absurd.
Unfortunately, Hashirama didn't have that strength at the time, and he probably wasn't focusing his attention on defensive Ninjutsu.
Seeing that Hashirama remained inside, Kyosuke controlled Susanoo to throw away his weapon, inserted his hands into the gaps of the Demon Mask, and forcefully pulled and tore it to the left and right.
With Hashirama completely bewildered, he managed to "knock" open the door to the Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall.
With the Cursed Seal broken and Senjutsu Chakra spreading, Kyosuke, having successfully entered Snake Sage mode, concentrated the power of Susanoo in his left arm.
The black Chidori coalesced, and the technique he used was the Sage Art: Takemikazuchi.
Many years ago in the Land of Whirlpools, Hashirama, caught off guard, was severely injured by this attack and almost said goodbye to this world.
Even now, facing it again, the long-healed abdominal wound seems to ache faintly.
"It's come to this after all." With a silent sigh, Hashirama knew that saying anything now would be pointless.
He clasped his hands together with a loud snap, and Natural Energy surged into his body; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was about to self-destruct.
In a mere second, dark red eyeshadow appeared on his face, and Hashirama successfully entered Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest.
Activating Sage Mode allows for a significant boost to the power of all one's techniques, including Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu.
Chakra Hashirama, already vast as smoke, now completely surpassed that of any Tailed Beast.
"Let's settle this once and for all, Kyosuke!!!"
"Come on, Hashirama!!!"
In an instant, the entire world fell silent. The ninjas from the two clans, ten kilometers away, suddenly saw a terrifying gale blowing towards them.
Lower-level ninjas had trouble even standing; only those at the Chunin or above could remain standing. Even so, everyone's eyes were filled with horror.
"As expected, Lord Kyosuke's strength is extraordinary."
"It's unbelievable that the aftershocks of their battle were so astonishing even without Susanoo being summoned."
"Damn it, we can't even provide the most basic support."
"Trust me, sir. Hashirama Senju is no match for him."
After obtaining the Nine-Tails, Madara Uchiha's strength increased to an extremely terrifying level. Everyone thought that the Clan Leader had firmly secured his position as the strongest person.
Unexpectedly, Kyosuke's combat prowess was also off the charts upon his return, and news of Tobirama Senju's serious injury and escape had already spread.
"Disrespectful scum." Upon hearing the news, the Uchiha offered their best wishes to Tobirama.
The focus returns to the center of the explosion; this time, the two fighters are evenly matched.
Even though his Chakra reserves are somewhat insufficient, Kyosuke's eye power gives him an edge over his opponent in terms of technique.
Two figures slowly rose from the ground, both their clothes stained with blood and their arms bearing extensive impact injuries.
"Hahahaha." Wiping away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, Kyosuke's laughter was filled with a pleasure that outsiders could hardly understand. "Very good, this is what a life-or-death battle should be like. It wasn't for nothing that I spared your life back then."
"Wouldn't the Shinobi World be far too boring without you?"
A dark golden light shot into the sky, and amidst bursts of wild laughter, the Perfect Susanoo, like a war god, descended upon the world.
"Consider this a reward for you. From now on, I will fight with all my might. Please don't die, Hashirama."
Sage Mode disappeared, but the massive Senjutsu Chakra did not return to the Cursed Seal. Instead, it was quickly channeled into the Perfect Susanoo, covering it with a Sage Serpent Cloak resembling blazing flames.
Sage Susanoo!
With his right hand gripping the materialized Kusanagi Sword, a massive blade, tens of meters long, was suddenly unsheathed amidst a deafening roar, its impact surging towards the enemy like a tidal wave.
Beneath this sword, all things in the universe are annihilated...
Overlord Sword - Kamui Prison!
The once invincible Hyuga Tennin died under the Kamui Prison of the Sage Susanoo.
With Hashirama the opponent, at least they won't just stand still and take the hit head-on.
"The combination of Sage and Susanoo, its power is in no way inferior to Madara's Nine-Tails."
There's no other way.
His hands formed the "" seal on his chest, and then a terrifying wooden figure like a giant Arhat quickly appeared.
The Wood Human Technique!
A high-level Wood Release Ninjutsu, resembling a gigantic wooden Arhat, usually with a Wood Dragon coiled around its arm.
Its power is no less than that of the Perfect Susanoo, and with the support of Chakra's massive chakra, it can even put its full strength into a fight against the Majestic Attire: Nine-Tails in its Hashirama.
Seeing Kyosuke's actions, he suddenly had an inspiration and also tried to concentrate his Chakra on the Wood Golem.
The Wood Golem Arhat was his Chakra catalyst; since they shared the same origin, the fusion process was exceptionally smooth.
A bright golden light enveloped the Wood Golem. Hashirama's eyes narrowed, and the dazzling golden dragon on his arm directly met the impact of the sword blade.
Boom!
An even more terrifying gale swept in, and this time, apart from a few powerful Jonin, almost no one could stand still in the storm.
"Damn it, everyone retreat! It's too dangerous here!"
"Back up three kilometers, no, back up another ten kilometers!"
"It's alright, I don't believe anyone would dare to cross the battlefield at this time."
