Hashirama Senju unleashed Wood Release against Uchiha Jin and Obito Uchiha, drawing Minato Namikaze and the village’s attention to the Forest of Death. After Hashirama’s attack ended without hitting them, Jin remembered his Mangekyō’s rule-based ability and used it on Hashirama, prompting Obito to activate Izanagi.
