Rono vs. Hashirama Senju and the Jinchuriki

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together and opened with Deep Forest Emergence!

In an instant, tender shoots broke through the soil.

Fueled by Hashirama Senju's Asura chakra, those shoots rapidly grew into towering trees, transforming the terrain outright!

Rustle, rustle!

Thick trees kept growing, seemingly intent on binding Rono's perfect Susanoo completely!

[Congratulations! Successfully collected chakra 9999+!]

[Congratulations! Successfully collected Asura chakra!]

[Congratulations! Successfully collected Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence.]

"Hashirama Senju, you've fought Madara Uchiha before."

"Do you really think a move like this will work?"

Rono smiled faintly and commanded his perfect Susanoo to swing its sword.

It easily swept aside the thick trees surging toward him.

"I wasn't trying to subdue you with this move, Rono."

Hashirama Senju smiled as well.

At that moment, the living shinobi, including Tsunade, Kakashi, Might Guy, and Onoki, had all been sheltered by Hashirama Senju's Deep Forest Emergence!

Clearly, Hashirama Senju knew just how terrifying the coming battle would be, so he had first chosen to protect the living, allowing him to fight without worry.

"As for the other Kage, you all have reanimated bodies, so you won't need my protection."

Hashirama Senju gave the other Kage an apologetic smile.

The other Kage understood completely.

They were not qualified to intervene in the battle ahead.

"Come on, let's begin!"

Hashirama Senju soon roared, unleashing his terrifying chakra once again!

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Rustle, rustle!

In the blink of an eye, a Wood Golem every bit as large as the perfect Susanoo rose from the ground!

Its presence was utterly overwhelming!

"I'm not done yet! Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

The next moment, Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together again, summoning an absurdly massive Wood Dragon!

These were Hashirama Senju's two go-to techniques
