High in the sky, the wind howled like thunder.
The clouds under the entire sky were completely shredded by a tyrannical force in that instant.
The crisp sound of Kenya's hands clasped together was like a dull war drum resounding directly in the ears of the entire village.
"Smack!"
There was no dazzling Chakra glow from the Ninjutsu.
Yes, it was the boundless, surging blood and qi within Kenya's body, like a vast ocean.
The pure physical power granted to him by the Garp Template resonated with the mutated Senju cells in an unprecedented way at this moment.
The violent shockwave even distorted the surrounding light.
Orochimaru and the Third Hokage, who were standing on the edge of the rooftop ruins, felt as if a huge boulder weighing ten thousand pounds was pressing on their chests at almost the same time.
That feeling didn't come from a murderous intimidation.
Rather, it is a terrifying pressure originating from the physical realm.
It was as if the entire gravity of the sky had been forcefully pulled down by that man at that moment.
" Hiruzen- sensei..."
Orochimaru's voice trembled, his golden snake eyes fixed on the sky above him.
"Are you sure this kid is really a descendant of the Senju Clan Konoha?"
The Third Hokage did not answer.
The Adamantine Staff in his hand was trembling violently.
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, his aged face filled with indescribable horror and bewilderment.
He lived most of his life, witnessing the First and Second Hokage pacify the Sengoku and Madara Uchiha across the world.
But he swore.
He had never felt such a primal and domineering sense of oppression from any other ninja!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A deep, thunderous roar suddenly echoed through the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble violently.
All the surface buildings in the entire Konoha swayed slightly in this indiscriminate tremor.
Right behind Kenya.
Deep within the sea of clouds, which had been scattered by the gale, a colossal figure beyond the measure of ordinary understanding slowly tore through the sky!
One meter, ten meters, fifty meters...
Up to 100 meters in size!
It was a colossal ancient Buddha statue, as large as a mountain!
But the moment they saw the giant Buddha's appearance, the breaths of all the Konoha Ninja present froze.
That wasn't the vibrant, compassionate, and solemn emerald green wooden Buddha statue of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
The entire Buddha Form statue is as black as ink!
That was a body of black gold, forged from the hardest black iron hardwood through countless compressions and temperings with Armament Haki!
They do not possess the kind and benevolent appearance of gods or Buddhas.
Its enormous face resembled a fierce god from the Sengoku, with sharp features, closed eyes, and an aura of ruthless ferocity that could sweep across the land.
A chilling light flowed across the Buddha Form's body.
Simply by hovering there, it caused the air below to emit a piercing, unbearable wail.
"This... what kind of Wood Release is this?!"
The Konoha Anbu had been guarding the ruins of the distant stands slumped to the ground, their eyes glazed over.
"Without bark, without branches or leaves, it's a god cast entirely from black iron!"
However, the most shocking scene, which completely shattered everyone's worldview, was yet to come.
"Snap! Snap!"
Accompanied by a sickeningly heavy whistling sound.
Behind that hundred-meter-tall black iron Buddha Form, countless thick, mountain-like black giant arms suddenly unfolded like a raging dragon emerging from the sea!
Row upon row, layer upon layer!
They densely covered the entire sky!
Those weren't thousands of Buddha hands forming the mudra of compassion, holding vases or ritual implements.
At the end of those countless thick, towering arms.
There was not a single weapon, not a single finger was outstretched.
The tip of each arm.
All tightly closed!
They were all enormous, pitch-black fists, each larger than a house and wreathed in billowing black mist!
A full thousand solid Iron Fist, as black as ink!
"Boom--!"
Each fist suddenly ignited with tangible Armament Haki.
The black air currents, like viscous ink, churned and swirled wildly in mid-air.
It even stirred up static electricity in the air, tearing out streaks of dark red, violent Inazuma as thick as an arm!
That was not the Buddha who saved people from suffering.
That was clearly a violent demon god who wanted to destroy everything and smash the heavens and earth to pieces!
Orochimaru looked up at the Thousand Fists Black Sea that blocked his view.
His already pale face was now completely devoid of color.
His legs trembled involuntarily, and his throat was so dry that he couldn't even swallow saliva.
"A madman... a complete and utter madman!"
Orochimaru screamed at the top of his lungs, letting out an extremely shrill scream:
" The First Hokage's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands is a sacred technique used to suppress the Tailed Beast and save the world from chaos!"
"Why did everything turn into fists in this kid's hands?!"
"This is not Ninjutsu at all! This is not something the Senju Clan should possess!"
Orochimaru was going completely insane.
He spent countless hours and money researching Hashirama Cells, only to find that the genuine descendant before him had turned Wood Release into a pure physical meat grinder!
Standing Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had lost their self-awareness.
This body, honed through countless trials, instinctively tensed to its limit at this moment.
Those empty eyes stared intently at the sky, adopting the most stubborn defensive posture.
They felt it.
The man above us is about to get serious!
Thousands of meters above the ground.
Kenya stood proudly at the edge of the clouds, his arms hanging naturally at his sides, braving the wind.
He had a white jade pipe between his teeth, and his eyes burned with a fierce and intense fighting spirit.
Looking down at those two legendary figures who once suppressed an era.
Kenya's lips curled into a wild, unbridled laugh.
"Grandfather!"
"Your grandson knows you were soft-hearted back then, and always liked to leave your opponents with a sliver of life when fighting!"
But times have changed!
Kenya's voice was like rolling thunder, carrying boundless Conqueror's Haki, echoing throughout the entire Hidden Konoha:
"When dealing with an enemy, you must use the hardest fist to utterly crush him into dust!"
"Today!"
"Grandson, use this trick to properly show your filial piety to you two!"
The moment the words left his mouth.
Kenya suddenly pulled his arms forward, twisted his waist, and slammed his palms down onto the ground below!
"Take this, ancestor!"
" Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, Tortoise Fist, Hundred-Splitting Explosive Slam Dunk!!!"
"Boom--!!!"
The instant the instruction was delivered.
The hundred-meter-tall black iron Buddha suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, emitting two dazzling beams of blood-red light!
Immediately afterwards.
Those thousands of Armament Haki black iron fists suspended in the sky.
Within the same microsecond, a complete riot broke out!
There are no fancy tricks or gimmicks.
There are no unnecessary angles.
It was a pure, savage, and frenzied bombardment to the extreme!
Thousands of massive black iron fists, each larger than a house, tore through the air in unison!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Layer upon layer of white sonic boom clouds exploded one after another in mid-air.
The entire sky seemed to collapse in an instant!
It was a shower of thousands of meteors, accompanied by deafening shrieks, pouring wildly down upon the ruined earth!
"Boom!"
The first punch landed.
The once-solid surface of Konoha instantly cracked open, creating a huge crater!
The second punch, the fifth punch, the tenth punch!
A thousand punches strike simultaneously, leaving no room for escape!
The black sea of fists blotted out the sky, like countless giant hammers pounding wildly on the earth!
There were no dazzling Five Elements Escape Techniques, nor any strange and mysterious secret barriers.
Only the purest and most violent physical destruction!
Each punch sends up a shockwave of mud and air tens of meters high.
Before the flying pebbles could even be scattered, they were crushed into dust by the next heavy punch!
The entire Hokage Building ruins vanished into nothingness in the very first second.
Then came the second second, and the third second!
A barrage of black fists rained down on the deep crater at a frenzied frequency of hundreds of times per second!
Orochimaru was forced back hundreds of meters by the violent force of the punch, unable to even open his eyes.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, used all his strength to shove his Adamantine Staff into the ground just to barely stabilize himself.
In everyone's ears.
All sound in the world has vanished.
All that remained was that terrifying roar, both extremely dull and extremely violent!
The earth trembled violently, and the devastating sound of fists colliding could be heard throughout the entire Konoha.
