"This technique is even more powerful than my Nativity of a World of Trees!"
Hashirama Senju was not being modest.
It was the truth.
At first glance, Mamaragan and Nativity of a World of Trees seemed much the same.
Both created a vast domain,

But the crucial difference was that Nativity of a World of Trees was easy to destroy. A few Fire Release attacks could burn the forest away.
Mamaragan was different. It hung high in the sky, almost impossible to affect. Its targets could only endure its pursuit.

The ground fared little better. Lightning felled half the trees created by Nativity of a World of Trees, leaving vast blackened scars behind.
The ninja watching from outside stood frozen.
Everything they had just seen felt like a dream.

At first,
even with all four attacking together, they had struggled badly.
