Thousands of Kage-Level Fighters on Their Side, but Over Ten Thousand Hashirama Senjus on Ours!

Hagoromo Otsutsuki knew about White Zetsu. He had even spent a long time studying how they were created.

But he had never understood why his mother needed them.

White Zetsu transformed from ordinary humans had decent vitality and regenerative ability, but their combat strength was extremely limited.

Anyone with a little chakra and a few years of training could easily slaughter one.

So Hagoromo had always assumed they were merely a symbol of his mother's tyranny.

As for what Kaguya Otsutsuki had told him about preparing for powerful enemies who would arrive someday...

Hagoromo had never believed a word of it.

Even when Uchiha Ensei brought it up again recently, Hagoromo had dismissed it without a thought.

Only now did Hagoromo realize that it might all have been true.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan was a real enemy. The three Ensei had dealt with earlier might not have been particularly strong, but Hagoromo did not believe the clan had no one stronger.

After all, if no one was stronger than Kaguya, she would have had no reason to prepare so many White Zetsu to face them.

As Hagoromo came to that realization, the souls he had summoned from the Pure Land were battling the more than ten thousand Wood Release constructs.

How strong were the Wood Release constructs, powered by chakra from the Divine Tree and given bodies made of White Zetsu?

Their combat strength was roughly comparable to Hashirama Senju without Sage Mode.

The other side had thousands of Kage-Level fighters, but this side had over ten thousand Hashirama Senjus!

Even with the real Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and others on the opposing side, sheer numbers gave this side the advantage.

No matter how formidable Hashirama was, how many versions of himself without Sage Mode could he beat?

Ten? A hundred?
