Dimensional Slash
"Oh... quite impressive! Tobirama, I knew this boy could stop us!"
Hashirama appeared exceptionally excited after his first attack failed.
It's just that he's currently deceased and can't interfere in the World of the Living; otherwise, he would have directly offered the Hokage Position to Ryuuzaki Eiji.
Not only is he incredibly strong, but he also has a strong belief in protecting his comrades, making him exactly the ideal successor to the Hokage.
"As expected of the First Generation's Wood Human Technique, now it's my turn."
He gripped the Kusanagi Sword at his left waist with both hands, the blade unsheathed, its cold light gleaming.
This sword is the Kusanagi Sword that Orochimaru just received. Unlike the first sword, which simply enhanced the hardness of the blade, this one has a very special ability—it can freely extend and retract.
It only requires injecting Chakra to make it very long, up to a hundred meters. It took Eiji some time to fully master it.
Looking at the enormous arm that Future retracted, Eiji said, "The timing is perfect. Let's use the newly prepared technique."
As Chakra flowed in, the blade began to grow rapidly, eventually becoming Giant Blade five meters long!
"Body transformed into steel, mind into nothingness"
A pale blue light began to cling to the blade, making it exceptionally dazzling in the night.
"The Heavenly Demon Destruction!"
The sword blade, imbued with the color "Azure," traced a full, azure moon clockwise in the pitch-black night before Eiji leaped high into the air, sword in hand!
"Full Moon Killing Technique!"
Eiji's figure overlapped with the moon in the sky, and all that could be seen was a dark figure raising a long blade, which then swiftly fell and slashed down at the wooden doll's arm!
The wooden figure's arm then emitted an ominous "crack" sound.
Immediately afterwards, Eiji, who appeared below the wooden figure's arm, charged upwards with his sword held in reverse!
The blade sliced through the wooden dummy's arm, Eiji, gripping the Kusanagi Sword, continued to thrust upwards, the blade relentlessly cutting through the wood, sending Wood Chips flying everywhere!
As Eiji soared into the sky, the Kusanagi Sword completely severed the connection between the wooden dummy and its arm!
Then, the giant arm accelerated downwards.
A deafening sound rang out, and instantly thick smoke billowed out, accompanied by gusts of fierce wind!
"It's not over yet!"
Eiji didn't stop. He raised his hand and flipped his hair back, revealing a faint blue light in his pure white hair.
Eiji sheathed his sword and then assumed a drawing and slashing stance.
With a flick of his wrist, a wave of azure energy appeared out of thin air on the wooden figure's body, directly slicing off a portion of its form!
Hashirama's body began to tremble, and then the wooden figure swung its other arm, sweeping towards Eiji!
Eiji used Ao to constantly switch positions to dodge attacks, and as he continued to draw his sword and slash, the giant wooden figure was gradually destroyed by Ao and riddled with holes!
Chiyo exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? His slash can actually cut through the space in front of him?"
Upon seeing this, Tsunade's lips twitched uncontrollably.
What slashing and cutting through space? It was clearly just the Azure Sword that destroyed the wooden figure directly. That sword was just for show.
And that gesture of flipping his hair back... Is he seriously using Cang to pull his hair back to maintain his hairstyle during battle?
Tsunade was so angry she laughed. This kid was still trying to show off at a time like this.
However, seeing that Eiji still had such composure made her feel much more relaxed, which meant that Eiji was still in control.
As the wooden dummy began to show signs of crumbling, Eiji instantly Body Flicker Technique to the ground, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a sword-drawing stance.
Swish!
Eiji instantly drew his sword and slashed out, his body disappearing in a blur. All that could be seen around the massive wooden figure was Eiji's flickering afterimage.
Click!
A fine, dense cut appeared on the wooden figure's body, and then—
Click click click click click!
Arms! Neck! Legs! Abdomen!
Numerous slash marks appeared on the wooden dummy's body!
The wooden dummy, struck by the blow, came to a standstill, like a machine that had lost its power.
Eiji then returned to his original position, kneeling on one knee, with the Kusanagi Sword, now the same size as before, held upright in front of him with both hands.
"All they know is bluffing; how could sword strikes possibly destroy the Wood Human Technique?"
Seeing that the wooden doll's body only bore slash marks, Danzo said disdainfully.
However, as Eiji sheathed his sword, the wooden doll, just like the defeated final boss, began to crumble and disintegrate!
Finally, Eiji stood up and adjusted his collar with one hand.
"What!?"
Danzo took a half step back, watching helplessly as the enormous wooden figure crumbled into pieces like a puppet with broken strings.
This was already the umpteenth time he'd made a mistake today. While the power of those eyes was undeniably strong, how could he possibly seize the Eyes of the Blue Sky now!?
The wooden figure's body began to sink continuously, and Hashirama and Tobirama's bodies also began to fall along with it, with dust billowing around them.
Seeing his wooden dummy easily sunk, Hashirama laughed heartily, "You're really impressive! With a young man like you around, it seems Konoha can maintain its stability from now on!"
"I never imagined you could achieve this. Is it called the Eyes of the Blue Sky?" Tobirama was awestruck by the power emanating from Eiji's eyes, then said, "Eiji, is there anyone you care about right now? Your Kekkei Genkai is extremely precious. For the sake of Konoha, I hope you will leave behind as many descendants as possible."
◇
Seeing the spectacular scene of the wooden figure collapsing, the crowd, who had been in despair, were now utterly astonished.
"Great, we won!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke with certainty, though he was shocked. Eiji could easily shatter even the Wood Human Technique, so he had no doubt that Eiji could defeat the formidable enemy before him.
"They actually managed to do that!?"
Ōnoki was shocked. He had unwavering faith in the power of the God of Shinobi, yet Ryuuzaki Eiji had managed to destroy the Wood Human Technique that made him famous. Just how high was the limit of the Eyes of the Blue Sky?
Although his opponents didn't seem to be at their peak, Ōnoki was certain he had no chance against either of them.
Does this mean the Future of the Shinobi World truly belongs only to Konoha and Ryuuzaki Eiji?
Raikage: "..."
"Lord Raikage, are you alright...?"
Dodai remained Raikage, looking older than his father despite his young age.
Worried that he might be upset, I tried to comfort him.
Pakura stared blankly at Eiji on the distant battlefield. Although he was a head shorter than her, his terrifying strength left her speechless.
Possessing such terrifying power, is the person before me a god?
"Yes... absolutely right!"
The Uchiha Clan Members who witnessed this scene were ecstatic; this was simply the perfect swordsmanship for their Uchiha Clan!
