Battle Against Kaguya Otsutsuki

Hashirama Senju leaped into the air and landed beside Naruto and Sasuke. His whole body had begun to tremble—not from fear, but from the excitement of battle.

Whatever else he was, he had always been a battle-crazed man, obsessed with fighting. His determination to fight strong opponents was what had helped him grow from a weak child into one of the Ninja World's greats. Hashirama Senju might feel fear, but he had never been afraid of battle!

"Come on! Let me see just how powerful the Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya Otsutsuki, really is!" Hashirama steadied his breathing and fixed his gaze on Kaguya, remaining on high alert.

"So eager to come here and die?" Black Zetsu said coldly. "Don't think that being dead already means you can't die again. I'll show you that even after you've died, you can still die one more time!"

Kaguya gave Hashirama a long look, then raised one hand. A bone spike emerged from her palm. With a sharp shout, she sent it hurtling toward Hashirama at blinding speed.

"Corpse Bone Pulse!"

"Watch out!" Tobirama cried in alarm. Wary of Kaguya's strength, he shouted without thinking. None of them dared take her attacks lightly. Even one hit could easily leave them unable to fight.

Namikaze Minato had already shown them exactly how dangerous she was. Otherwise, why hadn't his severed arm grown back? He was a dead man, after all, and no matter how badly someone was injured in the Impure World Reincarnation state, they should recover.

They had no way to deal with damage that erased the soul itself. As Tobirama watched the bone spike fly toward them, that was exactly what he suspected.

At Tobirama's shout, Hashirama realized something was wrong. He hadn't seen how the Fourth Hokage lost his arm while fighting Madara
