Boom!!!
The Ninjutsu from both sides collided thunderously in midair!
Water and fire erupted into a vast cloud of mist, spreading over a kilometer in every direction.
Matatabi's fireball was stopped.
Meanwhile, Five-Tails Kokuō used the surrounding mist as cover. In a flash, he appeared before the two men, raised his tails, and slammed them down at them.
Five-Tails could control steam, and all this water vapor put him perfectly in his element. His attack carried tremendous force yet made no sound, his tails reaching the tops of their heads in the blink of an eye.
"Watch out! Dodge!" The mist obscured both Hashirama's and Uchiha Sora's vision. Only when the tails were about to strike their heads did they sense the danger. Hashirama hastily warned Uchiha Sora and immediately formed hand seals.
Wood Release: Hōbi Technique!
In an instant, a wooden shield shaped like a demon's face enclosed him.
Bang!
One of Five-Tails' enormous tails smashed into the demon-faced wooden shield with a deafening crash.
But the shield's defenses were incredibly strong. Aside from minor damage to its exterior, Hashirama remained completely unharmed inside.
On the other side, another of Five-Tails' enormous tails came down on Uchiha Sora at the same time, smashing the tree beneath him to pieces with a thunderous crash!
Even the ground was smashed into a huge crater!
Amid the flying rubble, Uchiha Sora had already vanished.
Whoosh!
He appeared atop another tree in the distance.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Forming hand seals with one hand, he blew a powerful gale from his mouth, sweeping away all the mist before him.
His view cleared.
"That's enough, Tailed Beasts!" Uchiha Sora said with a frown, looking at the six great Tailed Beasts ahead.
"Hmph! Arrogant human! You're lucky that last attack didn't kill you!" Five-Tails shouted.
