"Okay."
Tsunade reached out his hand.
"Konoha will fully support Uchiha."
"As long as you do not harm Konoha, I will promote the continued cooperation between the two parties as Hokage."
Ren raised his hand and shook hers.
"You will be glad for your decision today."
After a while, Tsunade let go of his hand.
Ren suddenly said, "There is one more thing you need to do."
"What's the matter?"
"Make a name for me."
Tsunade immediately understood what he meant.
It is impossible to hide the news of the Valley of the End battle from Shinobi World, and the major ninja villages will receive the news soon.
But Daimyo, nobles and ordinary dignitaries do not understand the power gap between ninjas.
They know that Hashirama is God of Shinobi, but they don't know how strong Top Transformed Buddha is, and they won't easily believe that a fifteen-year-old Uchiha has the power to surpass Five Kage.
"So you want me to tell you the outcome of this battle at Daimyo Court?"
"Not bad."
Ren said calmly, "It's not enough for Ninja Village to know."
"I want the secular powerful to understand what the name Uchiha Ren represents."
Tsunade recalled the previous arrogance of the nobles in the meeting hall, and suddenly understood that Ren had already anticipated everything she would face today.
He wants more than just defeating Hashirama.
We also want this record to turn into a reputation that shocks the entire Land of Fire.
So, she revealed the result of the Valley of the End war in front of everyone in Daimyo Court.
No one spoke in the meeting hall until Tsunade left for a long time.
Daimyo and the nobleman sat frozen on the spot, the same sentence echoing in their minds repeatedly.
Hashirama lost.
And the Uchiha Ren they had just prepared to eliminate already had a power no less powerful than God of Shinobi.
The nobleman who was the first to propose 30 billion in compensation was wiping sweat from his forehead and his lips were still trembling.
"If... if what Tsunade said is true..."
"Have those words we just spoken reached Uchiha's ears?"
No one answered.
Daimyo also had very little blood left on his face.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Twelve Guardian Ninja.
"Kazuma!"
Kazuma stepped forward immediately.
"My subordinate is here."
"Take someone to Valley of the End."
Daimyo's voice was filled with irrepressible urgency.
"I want to know what happened there."
"True Several Thousand Hands, Complete Body Susanoo, and all traces of the battle mentioned by Tsunade, investigate them all!"
He looked at Asuma again.
"You return immediately to Konoha."
"Ask Hiruzen Sarutobi, ask everyone who witnessed that battle."
"This Daimyo wants to confirm whether Hashirama really lost to Uchiha Ren!"
After the order was issued, Daimyo Court started to move completely.
A large number of ninjas, samurai and spies set out overnight.
Kazuma, Chiriku and Guardian Ninja, who have the strength of Jonin, are the fastest. They throw away the team behind and go straight to Valley of the End.
Before they really got close, everyone saw the completely changed landscape in the distance.
The river that originally ran through the valley has broken off.
Most of the towering mountain walls on both sides collapsed.
The wreckage of the stout Wood Release is scattered within dozens of miles, and some of its broken arms lie like hills among the ruins.
Kazuma fell on a broken rock and froze in place.
Chiriku followed closely behind. When he saw the scene ahead clearly, his breathing stopped on the spot.
"Is this... really Valley of the End?"
No one could answer immediately.
If it weren't for the broken statues of Hashirama and Madara Uchiha still remaining on both sides of the valley, they would not be able to connect the abyss in front of them with the Valley of the End of the past.
The canyon that once was has disappeared.
Instead, there was a huge abyss with no bottom.
The earth is covered with terrifying cracks that spread into the distance, and the widest point is enough to swallow an entire house.
Deep pits are densely distributed between the broken river bed and the mountain wall. The rock formations seem to have been repeatedly hit by countless meteorites, and large areas of the ground collapsed directly downwards.
The straight ravines left by the residual fist pressure run through several mountain peaks.
The huge holes blasted by Spiral Sword caused the rocks along the way to show traces of twisting and fragmentation.
Kazuma slowly walked to the edge of the abyss, glanced down, and immediately took half a step back.
Can't see to the end.
Even the falling gravel did not hear an echo for a long time.
One Guardian Ninja's face was pale and his throat was rolling hard.
"Is this really the result of a ninja battle?"
Another person squatted down and pressed his palms on the cracked rock formation, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"The cracks extend beyond the range of perception."
"Such a huge destruction, I'm afraid even tens of thousands of ninja troops using magic at the same time can't do it."
Chiriku looked up at the remaining giant statues on both sides, and then at the completely shattered mountains and rivers in front of him.
He finally understood why Tsunade said that Uchiha Ren alone was enough to flatten Konoha and destroy the capital of Land of Fire.
In the face of this kind of power, the so-called majesty of city walls, warriors and Daimyo Court has no meaning at all.
Kazuma stood on the devastated land, the suspicion on his face disappeared little by little, leaving only the horror that could not be concealed.
"Can human power really cause such damage?"
Chiriku didn't answer, his gaze crossed the abyss and landed on the other side of Valley of the End.
There, a large wooden Buddha stands among the Broken Mountains.
The Buddha statue is as high as a mountain, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with densely packed giant wooden arms behind it. Those arms are spread out layer by layer, extending to the end of everyone's sight.
Just one wooden palm is enough to cover the entire meeting hall of Daimyo Court.
And there are hundreds or even thousands of such arms!
Previously, everyone was attracted by the abyss in front of them, but they did not immediately see the huge monster hidden behind the mountain.
When I really looked up at this moment, all Guardian Ninja were frozen in place.
A ninja raised his head, his voice dry.
"What is that?"
"Wood Release."
Chiriku slowly spit out two words.
Kazuma turned his head sharply.
"You know him?"
"Fire Temple collects the ancient books left by Warring States Era, which records part of First Hokage Ninjutsu."
Chiriku stared at the wooden Buddha, clenching his hands unconsciously.
"If the ancient books remember correctly, this should be First Hokage's unique immortal magic Wood Release secret."
"Immortal method Wood Release, True Several Thousand Hands."
The four words True Several Thousand Hands fell, and the expressions of several people around Guardian Ninja changed at the same time.
They have never seen First Hokage take action with their own eyes, but they have all heard of the legend of God of Shinobi.
Suppress Nine Tailed Beasts.
Put an end to the Warring States troubled times.
Teamed up with Madara Uchiha to create Konoha.
A large part of the reason why the ninjas of that era stopped fighting was because the power of Hashirama and Madara Uchiha far exceeded that of other ninjas.
But no one expected that today, decades later, they would be able to see with their own eyes the profound meaning of Wood Release left by Hashirama.
Kazuma looked at the thousands of wooden arms behind the Buddha statue and asked in a deep voice, "Why hasn't this thing disappeared?"
"Shouldn't Ninjutsu disappear with Chakra?"
One Guardian Ninja also nodded quickly.
"The battle should have been over for a long time."
"Even if Ninjutsu is used by First Hokage, it is impossible to maintain it until now."
Chiriku shook his head.
"Wood Release is different from the normal attribute Ninjutsu."
"Fire Release, Water Release, and Lightning Release all use Chakra to temporarily change their properties. After the caster stops supplying Chakra, Ninjutsu will dissipate."
"Wood Release can truly create forest entities with vitality."
As he spoke, he walked up to a broken wooden arm and reached out to press it.
The rough bark gives a real touch.
There is even vitality left inside that has not been completely exhausted.
"These are not illusions maintained by Chakra."
"They're real wood."
"As long as it is not destroyed, it will remain on the earth forever like an ordinary forest."
