"Good!"
Hashirama's gaze suddenly hardened, and he clenched his fist.
He had to make a decision for the future of the village.
It's like pruning a crooked plant; it's a necessary sacrifice.
He was willing to kill his best friend Madara Uchiha, for the sake of the village's future. Is he really going to be so lenient with a few complete strangers?
Of course, he could choose to back down and hand the matter over to his granddaughter Tsunade afterward, so that she could investigate and resolve the bullying incident in the village, punish the bullies, and expel them from the village.
But Hashirama Senju still gave up.
This can be done, but it's something to do afterward.
To shift the blame to Tsunade now would be completely irresponsible.
It means that when faced with trouble, they choose to escape.
Is this something Hokage, especially the First Hokage, should be doing?
No!
The Hokage should bear the darkness and pave the way for a brighter future!
When Sasuke was talking to the Reanimation F4, the Reanimation Hashirama even expressed his approval of Uchiha Itachi's self-destruction of his clan, saying something like, "Your brother was a better ninja than me."
Although this was self-deprecation, coupled with his helplessness about what had already happened, and his attempt to Sasuke to come back, it doesn't prevent him from having such a bias.
Thump!
The little boy and Moegi were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.
Murderous intent? Where did that murderous intent come from?
It's important to know that even Orochimaru's killing intent was enough to make someone like Sasuke tremble and become unable to move.
The Second Hokage's aura could suppress Orochimaru, and the First Hokage's aura could suppress the Second Hokage.
The First Hokage has inadvertently revealed a hint of murderous intent, which these children simply cannot withstand.
Hashirama realized what was happening and restrained his aura.
But the kids who were so scared their legs went weak, or even wet themselves, are still unable to stand up.
Only Moegi is slightly better.
After his momentum dissipated, he was barely able to think and twitch a couple of times.
The murderous intent just now filled Moegi with immense horror.
Did this person harbor murderous intent towards them?
Were these two people deliberately setting a trap?
Do you know that these Ninja Academy kids bully others by taking them to a secluded corner, having one of them pretend to be the weak victim, while the other arrives and takes care of the bullying?
That murderous aura just now was completely out of character for a seemingly innocent and honest young man.
Could it be that these two people aren't actually children at all, but are using Transformation Jutsu?
We must notify the village ninjas immediately!
Moegi opened her mouth, feeling a weakness in her throat.
She felt that if she opened her mouth, the other party could take care of her before she could even call for reinforcements.
Rather than doing that, it's better to save our strength to save the ones behind us.
With great difficulty, Moegi pulled a handful of Senbon from his pocket and flung them at the terrified little brats, stabbing them all over their bodies.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"What are you doing, Sister Moegi?!"
The pain awakened the boy's senses.
"I'll hold them off, you guys run! Go Jonin, find Anbu, find the Lord Hokage for help!"
Moegi struggled to her feet and began Hand Seals.
When the kids realized they were being told to run, they understood that everything was fine.
Because the pain from the Senbon restored their mobility, the kids struggled to their feet and scrambled away into the distance.
He shouted and howled like a banshee, "Sarilang, help me, Sarilang!"
" Wood Release: Green Technique!"
Moegi completed the Hand Seals and let out a shout with all her might.
An earthen wall rose from the ground.
"Ah?"
The earthen wall couldn't stop Hashirama, Hashirama was confused by the name of the technique that Moegi was calling out.
Wood Release?
Wasn't it said that only one experimental subject named Yamato inherited the Wood Release technique?
At most, it would include people who received his cells.
The little girl in front of him clearly didn't have any of his cell aura, so how could she know Wood Release?
Um.
First of all, it was confirmed during the Boruto era that Moegi knows Wood Release.
As for the origin of Wood Release, no one knows for sure.
Some speculate that Moegi might be a descendant of the Senju Clan.
The problem is that the Senju Clan inherits a physical constitution, not Wood Release. Wood Release is a Kekkei Genkai unique to Hashirama Senju.
Those who could use Wood Release later did so either directly or indirectly using Hashirama Cells.
Why Moegi is like this remains a mystery.
But she really does know how.
As for why this setting was originally only introduced in the Boruto era, but now Moegi can use Wood Release?
The reason is actually quite simple.
Because the plot has changed.
Yamato no longer needs to replace Kakashi as the temporary captain of Team 7.
There's no longer a need for Yamato's Wood Release to suppress Naruto's Nine-Tails.
What is Yamato doing then?
Let him become the Jonin teacher and lead a team.
Yamato received a favor from the Third Hokage, and now he's repaying that kindness by taking charge of Konohamaru's three-person team.
It was precisely because Yamato, a Jonin Wood Release, was leading the team that Moegi, who possessed the potential of Wood Release, learned the Wood Release: Greening Technique... uh, no, the Greening Technique, which was added to the setting during Boruto.
Madara Uchiha also somewhat surprised. Where did this child come from? How come a kid on the street can use Wood Release?
He only learned Wood Release after receiving Hashirama Cells.
What level are you guys at that, using the same Wood Release as me and Hashirama?
"Is this definitely Wood Release?"
Ban looked at the earthen wall and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Yes."
He scratched his head Hashirama.
This looks exactly like an earthen wall; is it definitely not Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall?
And it really is true.
Even in the Boruto era, Moegi primarily uses Water Release and Earth Release; Wood Release only exists in the lore and can be used by the Divine Tree Person, who is based on Moegi.
laugh--
After holding back his Hand Seals for a long time, Moegi finally managed to send a branch bursting out of the earthen wall and stabbing Hashirama, who was curiously peering closer, in a vulnerable Hashirama.
There would have been nothing wrong, but Hashirama has regained his senses now.
Fortunately, Hashirama reacted quickly enough and broke the branch in time.
The pain wasn't too intense.
"Boring."
Madara was speechless when he saw that the opponent's Wood Release consisted of nothing more than a tree branch.
Wood Release has a certain mechanism, but it essentially relies on numerical values.
Only Hashirama's Wood Release is true Wood Release; others using Wood Release can't achieve the same power as sending bricks flying, so they're better off using ordinary Water Release Fire Style.
If we have to say that there's a bloodline limit where the mechanics outweigh the numerical value, then it's only Ōnoki's Dust Release.
However, while Ōnoki's Dust Release is more about mechanics than numbers, the problem is that it requires a large amount of Chakra to use, which itself also requires numerical value.
"So, Ha--Kimi, you've still chosen to let them go?"
Madara Uchiha watched the children running into the distance and suddenly asked a question.
"..."
"If you really can't bring yourself to do it, could you give me a little power? I'll use Genjutsu to punish them."
Madara Uchiha began to induce.
