No one could have imagined that Hashirama Senju would undergo such a fantastical experience.
However.
The Shinobi World Continent remained engulfed in war, with the north in particular filled with the sounds of battle.
Although the Land of Iron had the aid of the Third Raikage and Cloud Village ninja.
It would still be difficult to wipe out the White Zetsu army, numbering as many as a hundred thousand, in a short time.
But once Killer B, the Eight-Tails jinchuriki, arrived, the situation would presumably improve considerably.
After all, Tailed Beast Bombs were true weapons of mass destruction.
Yet compared to the Land of Iron, the situation in the Land of Demons was far more dire.
If the number of White Zetsu was indeed around a hundred thousand,
then Moryo's army of stone statues, formed from dark Chakra and earth, was practically endless.
No matter how many the recently arrived Konoha ninja and Hidden Rock Village ninja destroyed together.
More stone statues would continuously form into battle formations and advance with heavy footsteps.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya had already begun a fierce battle with Kakuzu.
The two were evenly matched, like worthy opponents meeting on a chessboard.
Wind, fire, lightning, and electricity nearly blanketed an area several hundred meters wide.
However, Jiraiya had always been accustomed to fighting alongside toads, and his strength had been significantly affected. Strictly speaking, he was at a disadvantage.
But in terms of sheer ferocity.
Nothing compared to the battle between the Chinoike Clan and the Uchiha Clan.
Whenever ninja from the two sides encountered one another, the first thing they did was lock eyes.
After a brief pause, one side would let out a pained grunt.
Then they would unleash Blood Release or Fire Release techniques against each other.
Only after that would they draw kunai
