"Takenaka, come on, let me see how much progress you have made in these years!"
Valley of the End.
On both sides of the valley, Hashirama Senju and Takenaka Kaguya stood facing each other, and between them, the crack in the valley was more than twenty meters long. For ordinary Ninja, it would be useless even if they released ninjutsu attacks, let alone fighting.
However, this distance is not a big deal for either Hashirama Senju or Takenaka Kaguya.
No, Takenaka Kaguya pulled out Famous Sword Shusui from his waist, and then saw a terrifying Flying Slash flying towards Hashirama Senju in an instant.
"One Sword Style·Wide World·Water-Severing Style!"
"What a terrifying sword skill!"
On the opposite side, looking at this powerful attack that seemed to cut him in two, Hashirama Senju sighed in admiration in his heart.
When they first met on the Land of Fire battlefield, Takenaka Kaguya had already reached the level of Great Swordsman, but at that time, the power of Flying Slash was not so terrifying.
"Summoning Technique·Fivefold Rashomon!"
As Hashirama Senju whispered to himself, he clapped his hands, and without even completing the seal, five giant iron gates with grimaces appeared in front of Hashirama Senju.
Seeing this, Takenaka Kaguya raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This defensive ninjutsu can be regarded as one of Hashirama Senju's strongest ninjutsu.
In the original work, also in the battle of Valley of the End, Hashirama Senju used this technique to change the trajectory of Madara Uchiha's fusion attack with Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb and Susanoo's broken knife.
It can be seen how seriously Hashirama Senju attaches great importance to Takenaka Kaguya's attack at this moment.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
However, under the powerful power of Takenaka Kaguya and Flying Slash, four of the five giant ghost-faced iron gates were cut off in the blink of an eye.
However, it has to be said that Hashirama Senju's move Fivefold Rashomon has really maxed out its defensive properties. Although the first four giant grimace iron gates were easily cut open, he felt that unless he hit the last giant grimace iron gate from the beginning, there would be no way to crack it.
There is no way to harm Hashirama Senju!
"Hiss!"
Not far away, Mito Uzumaki, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but take a breath when he saw Takenaka Kaguya's Flying Slash cutting off four giant ghost-faced iron gates in succession.
Hashirama Senju, as her husband, knows how strong Mito Uzumaki is. Especially Fivefold Rashomon's defensive ability is unmatched. Even Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo's broken sword slash can be blocked.
Unexpectedly, Takenaka Kaguya was only separated by a distance of more than 20 meters, and almost completely cut off.
"I didn't expect that Takenaka's strength would improve so much after not seeing him for several years. I don't know if Hashirama will be his opponent." Mito Uzumaki thought in his heart.
As for Hashirama Senju, after the fifth giant ghost-faced iron gate sank into the ground, he was not idle. He clapped his hands again and shouted loudly, "Wood Style·Deep Forest Emergence!"
In an instant, many trees grew rapidly on both sides of the valley. The trees were uprooted, and a forest was created almost in the blink of an eye.
Not only did it fill the valley in front of them, but Hashirama Senju also controlled the branches and roots of the trees to grab them all towards Takenaka Kaguya.
Seeing this, Takenaka Kaguya smiled slightly. Hashirama Senju's combat intention was too obvious, and he knew in his heart that if he was entangled by these branches or roots, the Chakra in his body would be sucked out.
"It's not that easy!"
Takenaka Kaguya whispered, and then, looking at the overwhelming attacks that were coming towards him like a surging river, the Shusui in his hand instantly became extremely dark. Not only that, if you look closely, you can also notice that Takenaka Kaguya is not only attached with Armament Haki, but also with Advanced Conqueror's Haki.
"One Sword Style·Lion Song·Iai Slash!"
"Whoosh!"
The moves are simple, the movements are concise, and there are no unnecessary movements at all.
But even with this seemingly ordinary sword, the strike was like a thunder on the ground. All the trees that were missed by the strike were cut off and shattered by a powerful force.
"Boom!"
I saw that the slash was passed by, everything returned to calm, and finally turned into an explosion.
Although it was a remote fight, Takenaka Kaguya's slashing attack gave Hashirama Senju a great shock.
Just like the knife just now, if Hashirama Senju hadn't noticed something was wrong and quickly controlled the trees under his feet to move his position, I'm afraid the knife would have fallen on him.
"Takenaka, your sword skills are really amazing. Even the strongest Iai samurai I have ever seen cannot compare to you." Hashirama Senju praised loudly while quickly using the growth of trees to move his position.
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya laughed, and then saw him put Shusui into the scabbard, and then in Hashirama Senju's surprised eyes, he took off Shusui and suddenly inserted it into the open space next to it.
"What are you doing?" Hashirama Senju was confused and didn't understand why Takenaka Kaguya would give up his weapon on his own initiative.
"Brother Hashirama, when your strength reaches my level, it doesn't make much difference whether you have weapons or not.
I just wanted to see how much my sword skills have improved over the years, but unfortunately, I still can't break through your Fivefold Rashomon.
In this case, it makes no difference whether there are weapons or not.
Come on, brother Hashirama, I want to see if you Taijutsu have improved over the years?" Takenaka Kaguya laughed, and then said confidently.
Unlike the fight with Madara Uchiha, Takenaka Kaguya does not need to worry about Sharingan Genjutsu, so in comparison, he wants to have a fist-to-box fight with Hashirama Senju.
Opposite me, Hashirama Senju was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'm very impressed by Takenaka and your Rokushiki. It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to continue fighting with you in these years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama Senju had fairy facial makeup on his face. It could be seen that he was very cautious. After all, back then at Uzushiogakure, he was a little embarrassed by Takenaka Kaguya's weird Taijutsu.
If Takenaka Kaguya and he hadn't both been on point, he might have been injured in that battle.
When Takenaka Kaguya saw that Hashirama Senju agreed and entered Sage Mode, he immediately smiled. Then, a different shape of Sage Mode quickly appeared on his face.
Like an eagle in the sky, his deep black eyes also turned into a golden Dracule Mihawk shape.
"Oh? This Sage Mode seems to be very different from the Sage Mode he showed a few years ago!" Hashirama Senju was secretly surprised.
"Come!"
I saw Takenaka Kaguya quickly approaching Hashirama Senju, and mercilessly punched Hashirama Senju's head.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, although Takenaka Kaguya was fast, Hashirama Senju under Sage Mode was not slow either. The moment their fists collided, an extremely powerful shock erupted, immediately shattering the surrounding trees.
"Takenaka, you really don't hold back at all!" Hashirama Senju blocked his fist and felt the force coming from his fist, and couldn't help but joked with a smile.
"Brother Hashirama, I think that the greatest respect for you is to go all out.
Therefore, I hope you won't hold anything back in the future, after all, what I want to defeat is you in your prime!"
