At that moment, the Nine-Tails seemed to see the Sage of Six Paths' former self in Ronglin. Of course, it was only a faint phantom, flashing by and vanishing almost at once, but that was enough to shock the Nine-Tails.
"Put away your little schemes. What I said still stands. Follow me, and you won't be disappointed or wronged."
Blessing: Susanoo and the Nine-Tails Become One!
Ronglin gently patted the Nine-Tails on the head. At that moment, the Nine-Tails became even more fearful of him and could only keep nodding.
"Roar!!!"
"Awoo!!!"
In the distance, Hashirama Senju's Wood Golem and Wood Dragon were still roaring arrogantly.
Under Impure World Reincarnation, Hashirama Senju was practically cheating. His Chakra could be expended without limit, and the Wood Dragon and Wood Golem would not vanish due to excessive Chakra consumption. Even if they were destroyed, he could immediately use the technique to create them again.
"Heh heh~~~"
The roars of the Wood Dragon and Wood Golem stirred a deep unwillingness within the Nine-Tails. Ronglin smiled faintly and said, "Since you're unwilling to accept this, then have a proper fight. Nine-Tails, remember—this is the first time, and perhaps the last. Cherish it."
"Susanoo!!!"
An incomparably vast surge of Chakra erupted. Before the Nine-Tails could react, Ronglin's Susanoo appeared once again.
But its form had changed, becoming armor that attached itself to the Nine-Tails' body, transforming it into Susanoo's armored form.
With the Nine-Tails' formidable offensive power combined with Susanoo's powerful defense, the Nine-Tails would surely be able to let loose in a full battle against Hashirama Senju.
In the previous battle, the Nine-Tails had more than enough attack power but insufficient defense. Now, Ronglin's Susanoo made up for that weakness.
Susanoo and the Nine-Tails merged into one, causing the Nine-Tails' aura to rise steadily.
