The Demonic Statue took the battlefield, but it looked like a figurine next to my wood golem
Obito's roar swirled through the cold wind.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path suddenly opened its dry, shriveled mouth wide.
Countless rays of purple chakra gathered inside its mouth.
They looked like vicious flying dragons glowing with cold light.
The scraps of paper and snow were swept skyward by the gale in an instant.
"Sen Senju! Die!"
Obito clawed at his face beneath his mask, screaming hysterically.
I stood on the dragon's head, still holding two raw peanuts.
"Fireworks first thing in the morning? Nice. Don't you ever get tired?"
I spat a fragment of peanut shell onto the ground in disgust.
The Wood Dragon swept its enormous tail through the air, stirring up a blast of icy wind.
"Old man, I've never lost a contest of big mouths."
I pressed my palms together, and the divine tree origin inside me instantly boiled.
Green energy flared straight into the sky like a fountain.
Sunlight instantly replenished the little chakra I had just spent.
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique!"
As I shouted, a muffled, thunderous rumble rose from underground.

The muddy floor of the entire canyon collapsed at that moment.
A wooden giant rose, its size beyond anything anyone could imagine.
It was even bulkier than the Wood Dragon, towering into the sky.
Before it, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path looked as pathetic as a little clay toy.

"This... what kind of monster is this...?"
In the border camp of the Land of Lightning, Raikage A stared, his eyes frozen wide.
Sweat covered his dark face, and his lips trembled.
"Ten times bigger than the Demonic Statue... this Konoha bodyguard..."
"Heavens, it's even bigger than Lord First's! What a monster!"
Ōnoki patted his aching lower back, the white whiskers
