When Susanoo appeared, cloaked in a giant Buddha statue, the entire audience gasped in shock!
This incredible and unprecedented combination is truly beyond everyone's imagination!
Even the usually composed Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he secretly marveled. "My grandson really does have some ability!"
Uchiha Kō, standing to the side, was equally astonished. He had only used this move as a trial, but he never expected it to actually succeed!
What's even more surprising is that this move not only successfully merged with the original technique, but also gave the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands a new life.
If the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands of the past was merely a fixed and unchanging technique, then the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands of the present has been completely transformed, becoming a genuine Buddha with a vibrant and dynamic aura!
Facing the Susanoo-Clad Kurama, Senju Hashirama gritted his teeth and roared, "Top Transformed Buddha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands instantly moved, unleashing destructive power as they slammed into the Buddha controlled by Uchiha Kō.
However, just as the two sides were about to collide, the Susanoo controlled by Uchiha Kō made an astonishing move that left everyone speechless—one of its arms suddenly extended rapidly, like a nimble giant python, and fiercely wrapped around the Buddha of Senju Hashirama, then with a forceful swing, it flipped him over and made him crash heavily to the ground face down!
Upon seeing this, Senju Hashirama's face paled. He quickly steered the Wood Dragon away from the Buddha statue, which then collapsed to the ground with a series of resounding crashes.
The Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands technique, which dominated the battlefield and was unmatched by anyone, was actually broken today by a young man who was not even twenty years old!
The people present looked on with a mixture of excitement, confusion, and disbelief.
Standing atop the Wood Dragon, Senju Hashirama listened in a daze to the thunderous crash of his Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands striking the ground.
His signature Sage Technique had been broken. Looking at Uchiha Kō's Susanoo, he opened his mouth, realizing he had lost.
Feeling his energy drained in an instant, Senju Hashirama withdrew his Wood Dragon and landed beside Uchiha and the others. He opened his mouth, then walked to a corner, buried his head in his legs, hugged his knees, and looked dejected.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Senju Hashirama like this, they wanted to laugh. "It was you who insisted on fighting him back then, wanting to make Uchiha Kō acknowledge your ideas."
Now that his Great Buddha statue has been destroyed, what can he use to fight Uchiha Kō?
Uchiha looked at Uchiha Kō with a sense of awe. His grandson had actually defeated Hashirama, and by a crushing margin. The pride and sense of accomplishment he felt were beyond words.
Uchiha Kō controlled the Susanoo changed from sitting cross-legged to standing upright, increasing the height of the entire Buddha by another hundred meters!
The Susanoo Buddha is 600 meters tall! Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, clad in golden robes, stand above the Valley of the End, just like the real Buddhas!
Some wealthy businessmen, while traveling along the road near the Valley of the End, saw this giant Buddha statue and immediately knelt down, prostrating themselves in worship, spending not a single coin, and making wishes for billions!
"I hope Buddha will help me on this business trip, that the imported rough stones will yield a truckload of imperial jade, and that my once terrifyingly powerful self will be granted hundreds of concubines, Longevity, and endless descendants!"
If Uchiha Kō couldn't hear him, he would definitely roll his Byakugan. Damn it, how come these people are even greedier than him?
Uchiha Kō adapted to the control of Susanoo, performed a set of Tai Chi Fist, and then withdrew.
Uchiha Kō's eyes lit up. "Useful! Useful!" He then withdrew his Chakra, and the Great Buddha collapsed to the ground, turning into ordinary wood that landed on the water of the Valley of the End.
He flew over to the group and discovered a strange scene: Senju Hashirama was sitting there, hugging his knees and looking dejected, surrounded by a group of people trying to comfort him.
"Hashirama will be fine. We're just a bit small, clumsy, and weak. Don't worry about it too much!"
"Yes, Hashirama, apart from Uchiha Kō, none of the others can beat you, right? Besides, Osamu is your grandson-in-law, you don't need to compare yourself to him!"
"That's right, how can the mighty God of Shinobi become so lax and slack off when faced with setbacks? Stop like that, get up quickly."
Looking at this art style, Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. Why did it feel like he was the villain, Senju Hashirama was the hero who got beaten up by the villain?
"Um, that..." Uchiha Kō wanted to say something to comfort Senju Hashirama, but who knew that Senju Hashirama would look up and sniffle!
"Holy crap!" Uchiha Kō was on the verge of tears. What did I do to you? I didn't even beat you up, I just broke your Buddha statue, and now you're crying! Please, how old are you!
What Uchiha Kō didn't know was that he had destroyed Senju Hashirama's dignity and honor.
"Alright! Big brother! Look at the state you're in! Stop crying!" Senju Tobirama.
"Well, you know what, Senju Tobirama's words were really useful!" Senju Hashirama immediately stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and snorted.
Uchiha sighed, "Hashirama, failure is not terrible; what is terrible is to be discouraged and lose the will to fight against powerful enemies."
Senju Hashirama's eyes reddened again, and he threw himself into Uchiha's arms, crying, "Madara, waaaah!"
Why did Uchiha Kō feel like this scene was a bit like a green tea b*tch? He glanced at Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Izuna was completely speechless. This green tea Hashirama!
Uzumaki Mito:..., she didn't believe Hashirama would really be disappointed; this was probably a tactic he used to attract Madara's attention.
Madara, however, fell for it. He hugged Hashirama, stroked his back, and sighed.
Finally, the group left. Uchiha Kō didn't say anything about his philosophy, but everyone, including Senju Hashirama, agreed with what he had said at that moment.
Even when Senju Hashirama was leaving, he glanced at him with approval and hope in his eyes. If it were Owl, he should be able to achieve peace in the Ninja World!
Tsunade hugged Uchiha Kō's arm and laughed, "Congratulations! You defeated Grandpa and are now the strongest in the Ninja World!"
Uchiha Kō smiled. The strongest in the Ninja World? Not enough, because he knew that the enemies he would face in the future were far stronger than Hashirama and Uchiha. He couldn't be complacent just because he had achieved some success.
"Alright, Tsunade, this is something we can keep to ourselves. Don't spread it around. On the surface, the strongest are still Lord Hashirama and my Great Grandfather," Uchiha Kō said with a smile.
Tsunade nodded, fully agreeing with Uchiha Kō's words, and then the two strolled back to Konoha.
Today is destined to be a day to remember. Although not many people know it, everyone is clear that the world of Konoha has changed!
