Kushina's gaze sharpened as she watched the Wood Dragon hurtle toward her.
"I understand, Kurama."
She pushed off the ground and retreated, forming hand seals as she went.
"Wind Release: Raging Wind Blades!"
Kushina's red hair lifted into the air.
The air around her grew turbulent.
Fueled by a terrifying surge of chakra,
hundreds upon thousands of razor-sharp wind blades formed before her.
With a flick of Kushina's slender finger, they shot toward the Wood Dragon.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
A series of teeth-grating slicing noises rang out.
The storm of wind blades instantly dismembered the Wood Dragon, sending chunks of branches tumbling down.
After driving Kushina back with a single attack, Hashirama paid her no further attention.
He turned to attack Minato and Kakashi nearby.
At that moment, Hashirama was fighting entirely on instinct.
His subconscious urge to attack was weak, and he fought very conservatively.
He stood in stark contrast to his younger brother, who was fiercely aggressive.
Apart from being sent flying by a staff thrust at the start, Tobirama had spent practically the entire fight beating Hiruzen one-sidedly.
Just then,
Fugaku and the others arrived.
When they saw that their enemies were actually the First and the Second Hokage,
everyone looked stunned.
Seeing the Third getting pummeled by Tobirama added a strange edge to their astonishment.
What happened to being the strongest Naruto?
...This was it?
After a cursory look, many of them frowned.
The level at which those six were fighting
was already beyond what most of those present could comprehend.
Ordinary Jonin had no business interfering in a battle of this caliber.
Even getting grazed by a single technique would instantly empty their health bars!
Before long,
the Jonin decided what to do.
Ten powerful fighters, including Sakumo, Fugaku, Shikaku, Choza, and Hiashi, stayed behind.
