After the Fight, Go Home

Boom!

Amid the deafening blast, countless starry rivers from above collided head-on with the sea of green below. With every impact, both sky and earth were reduced to ash.

Time's skeletal incarnation, left behind by that former powerhouse, had completely inherited the abilities he possessed in life. Although its strength was now far inferior to what it had been at his peak for certain reasons, Qi was no longer the Qi of old either. The man and the incarnation were evenly matched.

The place where they fought was no longer the main hall. Their first clash of power had already sent the surrounding space teetering on the verge of collapse. After only a few exchanges, the skeletal incarnation's extraordinary Yin Release power had completely shattered the space around them. Seizing the chance, Qi acted without hesitation, using Wood Release to bind it before instantly breaking out of the altar together with it and appearing in the hundred-mile forbidden zone outside.

The Senju and Uchiha Clan members followed them out of the altar, just in time to witness a battle scene beyond their ability to describe.

The Senju Clan members in particular were utterly enthralled, as though they had seen Senju Hashirama brought back to life.

Qi now looked like another Senju Hashirama. Wood Release covered the heavens and earth; as far as the eye could see, enormous trees swung and lashed about ceaselessly. Standing amid them, Qi's chakra swept out in every direction, its brilliant radiance dyeing the surroundings gold.

And the most incredible part was that he did not even need hand seals! Even Senju Hashirama had not managed that back then. He had merely made medical ninjutsu seal-less...

In stark contrast to Qi's overwhelming ferocity, the skeletal incarnation's power visibly began to decline again after leaving the altar.
