Chapter 1259: Stalemate in the War Situation

Hashirama was facing Mokushiki for the second time.

Since Mokushiki had reincarnated through Karma, he had already recovered to his peak in this short time.

But this clash with Hashirama would not end like last time!

"Flourish!"

Mokushiki planted his feet on the ground. Amid a thunderous rumble, he began to transform.

He turned into a tree once more, preparing to absorb the Ninja World's energy.

Hashirama clapped his hands together.

"Sage Art, Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

The ground surged like waves as countless tree roots roiled toward Mokushiki.

Seeing that his opponent's power was utterly different from last time, Mokushiki had no choice but to give up his chance to become a tree and absorb energy from underground.

But even if he could not absorb energy, he still had Karma.

As Hashirama charged in fiercely, Mokushiki immediately entered his Karma state.

As his entire body turned bluish-black, his eyes became two horizontal slits.

The horn on his forehead had turned into a ring-shaped crown.

"Sage Art, Wood Release, Wood Golem!"

Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together, and the Daibutsu behind him began to twist and transform.

In the end, it became a smaller Buddha statue that fused with Hashirama.

The instant the two finished transforming, they crashed into each other with savage force.

Boom!

The ground was smashed into a massive crater, and Mokushiki's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because Hashirama had already reached Kekkei Mōra!

Hashirama caught Mokushiki's hands with both of his own, while the Daibutsu behind him extended dozens of fists and rained blows upon Mokushiki.

Mokushiki was tough enough. Though the blows landed with loud bangs, he kept fighting as he retreated.

The dents in his body were also repairing
