After Hashirama's strike missed, he put away his giant sword.
He planted the giant sword in the ground, formed hand seals, then slammed his palms together.
At once, he unleashed his unique Wood Release Technique!
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
In an instant, the ground split open, and thick wooden vines surged out, sweeping toward Uchiha Sora like a tidal wave.
Uchiha Sora darted about, dodging again and again.
But as Hashirama poured out chakra in torrents, more and more wooden vines filled the battlefield, almost turning the entire area into a forest!
Within that forest, thick wooden vines closed in on Uchiha Sora from every direction.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
As Uchiha Sora dodged, he formed one-handed seals and spat out powerful blasts of air like slicing wind blades.
The wooden vines were severed one after another, but still more burrowed toward him, seemingly without end.
This was what made Hashirama Senju so terrifying. His chakra reserves were simply enormous. At his peak, he had far more chakra than Uchiha Sora did now.
Although Uchiha Sora's chakra reserves were considerable, almost on par with an ordinary tailed beast's, Hashirama had far more than an average tailed beast!
According to the original story, Hashirama alone had as much chakra as Naruto and the Nine-Tails combined during the Shinobi World War.
Of course, although Uchiha Sora could not match Hashirama Senju's chakra reserves, he still had techniques like the Yin Seal. If he unleashed everything, he might not fall far short.
Now, as more and more Wood Release constructs surrounded him, Uchiha Sora could either use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape far away or meet them head-on.
But escaping with the Flying Thunder God Technique would defeat the purpose of this sparring match, so
