"Super Strength Technique!"
Hashirama Senju charged in, blue-purple Chakra flaring around his arm as he threw a punch at Qinglong. Qinglong met it with a punch of his own.
"Boom!"
A shock wave exploded outward, blasting away all the water around them and creating a circular dry zone that exposed the tiled roof below. Then even those tiles shattered and burst apart, collapsing into a huge hole.
"Boom!"
Qinglong threw another punch, striking Hashirama. A thunderous blast rang out, and a circular shock wave appeared as Hashirama was sent flying like a cannonball, trailing a streak behind him before crashing into the exam grounds and kicking up a cloud of dust.
It startled Genma Shiranui and Baki, who were still facing off. Hashirama climbed to his feet, only to see his younger brother Tobirama get knocked down as well.
Genma Shiranui shuddered and quickly greeted them.
"Lord First Hokage! Lord Second Hokage!"
The greeting made Baki's hair stand on end. Why had they even summoned their founding ancestors?!
Hashirama's kindly gaze stiffly shifted over to him. Genma Shiranui was drenched in cold sweat as he remembered that these were enemies summoned by the opposing side. He was so scared he could barely move.
Genma Shiranui and Baki hurriedly retreated far away.
Tobirama Senju climbed out of the dirt pit amid the smoke and dust. The damaged parts of his body were slowly regenerating as he asked, bewildered,
"Can that little guy use the Super Strength Technique too?!"
"No!"
Hashirama Senju looked at Qinglong, who stood atop a rooftop on the verge of collapse.
"That little guy seems to have a terrifyingly powerful body on its own. It doesn't seem like the Super Strength Technique!"
"What a terrifying little guy!"
Tobirama praised.
"Hm!"
Hashirama also looked impressed, but didn't let up.
