Even with the [Strength of a Hundred Technique] activated, Tsunade would have struggled to heal such severe through-and-through wounds herself.
Was Granduncle's ability to heal himself... really that powerful?
But Hashirama Senju was in terrible shape.
Tsunade had no time to question Uchiha Minamoto's words.
Besides.
Someone over on the [Majestic Attire: Susanoo] was still watching them like a hawk!
Tsunade gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and got straight to work.
Her arms seemed to leave afterimages in the air as she frantically pulled the [Black Rods] from Hashirama Senju's body.
The [Black Rods] embedded in Hashirama Senju were packed so densely.
Every time Tsunade reached out, she grabbed a whole handful.
And with every handful of [Chakra Black Rods] she pulled out.
Blood spurted from Hashirama Senju's body like a miniature fountain.
At first, Tsunade thought Granduncle would simply bleed to death like this.
But she had never imagined this.
Although Granduncle's blood had already pooled all over the ground.
As Tsunade kept removing the [Black Rods] from his body.
Hashirama Senju's presence, previously as feeble as a candle guttering in the wind, grew strong again.
And that was not all.
As Tsunade removed the [Black Rods] from Hashirama Senju's body.
His chakra, which the [Black Rods] had suppressed and disrupted, also began to stir.
The wounds where the [Black Rods] had pierced straight through him were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The faster Tsunade pulled them out, the faster Hashirama Senju healed.
When she removed the final [Chakra Black Rod].
A cloud of pale red steam suddenly rose from Hashirama Senju's body.
This was proof that his body was healing itself!
The steam was only pale red because his blood had stained it.
But after all the [Chakra Black Rods] had been removed.
