Hashirama Senju marched forth, sprinting ahead in the stance of a ninja. The markings of Free Sage Art appeared on his face, and though his eyes burned with anger, they remained keen and calculating.
"Trying to kill an enemy this powerful within ten seconds is impossible no matter how you look at it. Madara's attack just now already proved that..."
He did not need to pursue a kill. He only needed to restrain the enemy, and there was no more suitable option than that technique!
Smack!
As he ran, Hashirama rapidly formed hand seals, then clasped his hands together before his chest.
Wushi said, "Oh my, Beishi, this is aimed at you."
"..." Beishi remained unconcerned.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Five golden wooden pillars of varying lengths and thicknesses rose from behind him.
"Hmm?"
Beishi lowered his head and saw that he was standing atop a gleaming golden wooden palm. Those five pillars of differing lengths were actually five fingers!
Hashirama shouted, "This is the strongest Wood Release Sage Art sealing technique, one that surpasses even the Myojin Gate!"
—Sage Art: Wood Release: Five-Finger Mountain!
Boom! After the wooden palm lifted Beishi up, its wrist suddenly flipped over and slammed him heavily into the ground!
Rumble—!!!
Yet only seconds later, Five-Finger Mountain began to shake violently. Beishi actually showed signs of breaking free!
"As expected of an Ōtsutsuki. Even Five-Finger Mountain can't hold him down... But this isn't over yet!"
Hashirama's voice was imposing as his hand seals changed. He closed his eyes and silently recited an incantation.
—Sage Art: Immovable Dharma Edict!
Whoosh!
A glittering golden scroll descended from midair and landed atop Five-Finger Mountain. When it unfurled, the character "Edict" was revealed. Sizzle! Black markings spread across Five-Finger Mountain, raising its suppressive force to an unimaginable level.
