The battlefield on the border of the Land of Iron lay deathly silent. Only the sky above its center resounded with thunderous booms.
It was as though the entire world were trembling.
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, and the mountains and rivers lost their luster, as though the apocalypse had arrived.
Hashirama Senju stood at the center of it all. His figure looked utterly insignificant, yet his presence towered like a mountain.
His expression was exceptionally grave, and vast quantities of natural chakra radiated from his body, pouring out of him in an endless torrent.
The Sage Seal appeared on his forehead, marking his connection to the power of nature.
Hashirama Senju stood tall and proud, his palms pressed together as chakra wound and intertwined between them.
With his movements, a powerful force gathered inside him, then erupted.
A deafening crash rang out. The ground shook violently, as though the earth itself were about to be torn apart.
Then a wooden humanoid a hundred meters tall erupted from the ground!
It resembled a mountain, clad in wooden armor, its branches forming enormous arms, each thick enough to tear steel apart with ease.
Its eyes glowed crimson, seemingly alive, radiating an aura that made hearts tremble.
The Wooden Giant slowly rose amid the rumbling. Each step shook the earth, as though the entire world trembled at its arrival.
It crushed mountain ridges underfoot and stirred up rolling waves of dust, exerting endless pressure like an ancient behemoth.
Yet this was not the full extent of the Wooden Giant's power.
The moment it stood fully upright, a surge of chakra erupted, rushing forward like an ocean tide.
That chakra carried an aura of destruction. Like a towering wave, it instantly engulfed the Wooden Giant God.
