Hashirama Senju, who had remained silent the entire way, finally spoke.
"The dead should not meddle in the affairs of the living, Tobirama. We no longer belong to this era."
Naruto's face darkened, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Hypocrite."
He stared at Hashirama Senju.
"You're already standing in the present, yet you're still spouting such tasteless nonsense. When you stabbed Madara Uchiha in the back, why didn't you say that?"
Naruto's tone was not heavy, but his words cut deep.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't let anyone harm the village? And now, you're unwilling to die for it?"
He slowly rose to his feet.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter. I never expected you to agree from the start."
Naruto dusted off the corner of his clothes.
"I did raise the quality of the sacrifices, but the strength of your souls when you descended was still far below your peak."
He paused.
"This was within my calculations too."
Tobirama Senju frowned deeply.
"Kid, what are you trying to do?"
Naruto grinned and clapped his hands together.
"Call for backup."
The moment the words left his mouth, the technique was already activated.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: Flowering Tree World Emergence!"
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's expressions changed at once.
"How can you possibly use Wood Release?!"
Naruto bared his teeth.
"It's just a Kekkei Genkai. If you could figure it out, why can't I?"
In terms of both chakra scale and quality, the Deep Forest Emergence Tsunade had used could not even compare to this.
The instant the ninjutsu erupted, the Hokage Building became its center. Primitive giant trees and vines spread outward like mad, swallowing the entire area.
The Sand ninja, Konoha ninja, and Otogakure ninja fighting across the village all stopped, staring blankly at the scalp-numbing scene before them.
