" The Splitting Technique!"
Seeing that he could not escape the Gate of the Great God, Didaze immediately split himself in two, and then let the split body take the brunt of the Gate of the Great God.
The split entity was directly suppressed by the Gate of the Great God.
"Back!"
Didaze immediately retracted the split after it was forced inside.
"What a troublesome guy."
Hashirama Senju rubbed his head.
His strongest enemy before was Madara Uchiha, but Madara Uchiha didn't fight a guerrilla war like Didaze did.
Madara Uchiha was always straightforward with him.
Therefore, Hashirama Senju encountered this guerrilla-style fighter who was also of similar strength, he was at a loss for what to do.
C5: Annihilation!
" C5: Sun!"
Didaze created two powerful Clay Bomb in succession, forcing Hashirama Senju to create a large number of trees to block them.
Even so, Hashirama Senju inevitably suffered some degree of injury.
Although he quickly recovered thanks to the Impure World Reincarnation, Hashirama Senju's vigilance towards Didaze was at its highest.
"They're really tough to deal with."
Didaze scratched his Hashirama Senju, who had created a large number of trees to block his way.
" Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!"
Didaze transformed into his perfect form, the Six-Tails.
"What is he trying to do...?"
Hashirama Senju looked at Didaze, who had transformed into his complete Six-Tails form, with a look of utter wariness in his eyes.
" Sage Art: Corrosion!"
After Didaze transformed into the Six-Tails -Six-Tails, a golden pattern appeared on its body.
Then the massive Six-Tails creature opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of grayish gas.
Wherever it went, trees decayed and the earth melted.
"What's this?"
Hashirama Senju was utterly shaken.
He had never seen the Six-Tails use such a technique before, and the Six-Tails didn't look like the one he had captured back then.
What exactly happened in between?
Hashirama Senju desperately wanted to know, but it was now clear that he would never find out.
" Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Technique!"
As the corrosion drew ever closer, Hashirama Senju formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand.
Hashirama Senju created a shield shaped like fangs.
Corrosion begins to stalemate with the Wood Expulsion Technique after encountering Wood Expulsion Technique.
Both Didaze and Hashirama Senju were channeling Chakra into themselves.
However, the Impure World Reincarnation caused Hashirama Senju to lose something very important: his immense Chakra.
Although the Impure World Reincarnation claims to have unlimited mana, it actually reduces Hashirama Senju's potential by more than half.
This meant that although Hashirama Senju had a fast chakra regeneration rate, he couldn't inject as much Chakra as Didaze.
The Wood Expulsion Technique was eventually corrupted.
There's no other way.
Hashirama Senju sighed as he watched Didaze continuously exhaling gray gas.
" Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
Hashirama Senju summoned a new wooden doll, then jumped onto its head and shouted, before attempting to unleash his strongest attack.
However, after Hashirama Senju shouted, he looked behind him but found no response.
"This... does the Chakra limit prevent me from using the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands?"
Hashirama Senju gave a wry smile.
"Let's stall for as long as we can, giving Little Tsunade and the others time to escape."
Hashirama Senju made up his mind and then went into a defensive stance.
"Is it because I don't have enough Chakra to summon the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands?"
Didaze saw Hashirama Senju stand on the wooden dummy's head, clapping his hands together and looking puzzled, and knew that the other party must be summoning the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.
This is normal, since there is a limit to the Chakra available for Impure World Reincarnation Tensei, and it's also normal that Hashirama Senju couldn't summon the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.
For example, normally Chakra's Hashirama Senju would be 100, but after Impure World Reincarnation, it would be 10.
Mana regeneration will become very fast, but you will be unable to use Ninjutsu like Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, which consumes more than ten mana chakra.
"Are you trying to stall me?"
Didaze also noticed that Hashirama Senju offense to defense and immediately understood his intentions.
However, Hashirama Senju probably didn't know that the 30,000- Iwagakure army had already arrived in the Land of Fire, Tsunade and the others with nowhere to run.
Unless they are willing to give up everything in Konoha, they might still be able to escape in a sorry state.
As long as Tsunade and the others still care about the Konoha Ninja, they will definitely not be able to escape the Land of Fire.
"Then let's just wait it out."
" Wood Release: Flowering Deep Forest Emergence!"
Didaze didn't seem to have much of an opinion on this, and then Didaze began to summon Wood Release.
If Hashirama Senju were to defend with all his might, then there is no doubt that Hashirama Senju would be a perfect sparring partner.
Wood Release?
Hashirama Senju was completely stunned when he saw the Flowering Deep Forest Emergence appear before him.
Why does Iwagakure) have Wood Release?
He could clearly sense that Didaze absolutely did not sleep with members of the Senju Clan.
He was very familiar with the Senju Clan's vitality; Didaze was definitely not a member of the Senju Clan.
But why is it that someone who is not a member of the Senju Clan can awaken Wood Release?
Hashirama Senju knew that the most important thing about awakening Wood Release was life force, not the so-called fusion of earth and water.
However, Didaze didn't give Hashirama Senju any more time to be confused. Didaze used his Wood Release technique to attack Hashirama Senju.
Hashirama Senju could only use Wood Release to resist Didaze's attack.
Didaze would occasionally throw out a C5: Annihilation to keep Hashirama Senju times, so that he could use Hashirama Senju a sparring partner to practice his Wood Release effectively.
Thus, the two were temporarily at an impasse.
On the other side
"Old man, the fighting over there is really intense..."
Kitsuchi, watching the continuous violent explosions coming from Konoha, couldn't help but speak up.
"That shouldn't be the case!"
Ōnoki frowned.
Given Didaze's strength, how could he possibly be trapped by a mere Konoha? This is clearly not right.
"Send someone to investigate the situation!"
As Ōnoki continued advancing into the Land of Fire, he spoke to the Kitsuchi.
"Yes!"
Kitsuchi nodded, then assigned a Jonin skilled Jonin the Body Flicker Technique to Konoha to see what was going on.
The Jonin returned shortly afterward, but his face was deathly pale.
What's going on?
Ōnoki looked at the pale-faced Jonin and asked him a question.
" The First Hokage... has been resurrected, and Lord Didaze is fighting him..."
The Jonin wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said tremblingly.
" The First Hokage has been resurrected??"
Ōnoki was struck dumb.
"Yes... but the good news is that Lord Didaze is putting the First Hokage on the defensive."
The ninja wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and his complexion finally returned to normal a little.
He almost died on C5: Annihilation.
Fortunately, Didaze rescued him in time; otherwise, he would have been completely destroyed and would never have been able to return with the news.
Has he grown to this point?
Ōnoki muttered to himself, then burst into laughter!
"Continue the advance; our goal is to annex the Land of Fire!"
