Chapter 1002: Night City: It's Time to Get Serious!
Chapter 1002: Night City: It's Time to Get Serious!
Hashirama Senju was always confident in his taijutsu, especially since he could punch through Susanoo with his bare hands during his battles with Madara.
Even when facing Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Slash, he could hold his own and even gain the upper hand, leading Hashirama to believe that Night City was a ninjutsu master like his younger brother, Tobirama.
But the moment their fists clashed, Hashirama's confidence vanished.
This junior not only possessed the ability to concentrate chakra and unleash powerful attacks, but he also seemed to have improved the way he utilized chakra.
As Hashirama witnessed the violent chakra streams erupting from Night City's armpits and back, tearing through his ninja armor, he realized the situation was dire.
And indeed, in that instant of clashing fists, Hashirama felt an unstoppable force pass through his arm and into his body.
In just a moment of stalemate, his Edo Tensei arm shattered like porcelain, and the impact sent him flying backward, along with the Play Dragon that had accompanied him in his descent. The dragon disintegrated into a shower of wooden splinters under the force of Night City's punch.
"Kongou Nyoi!"
Amidst the falling debris, a black staff suddenly spun through the air, transforming into a two-meter-tall ape in mid-air.
However, before the ape could grab Night City, the latter extended a finger, and with the flickering lightning at its tip, a white thunderbolt shot out the next second.
Compared to the summoning beasts of the Three Great Holy Lands, the ape, which was not as powerful as the Fire Shadow's summoning beast, had its own strengths.
Aside from being able to use hand seals and ninjutsu, and transform into weapons like the Kongou Nyoi, the ape's most significant feature was its indestructible body.
Night City should have easily pierced through the flesh with his Hakke Hyakunijuuhachi Shou, but when he struck the ape's chest, he only managed to push it back, and the impact even sent it crashing into the nearby cliff.
"Hahahaha, he's really strong. I never expected that after my death, our clan would produce such an outstanding junior.
I wonder how my granddaughter taught him. From the current battle, it's clear that we're not his match at all. I can't even see any shortcomings in him at the moment."
Hashirama Senju was always easygoing and had no airs of being a senior or a powerful ninja like Tobirama.
A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. He was delighted to see such a talented ninja in their Senju clan.
"I don't think he's a disciple of Tsunade. What kind of personality does Tsunade have that I, his older brother, wouldn't know?
His exceptional sword skills, his combat intuition that allows him to predict the Flying Thunder God Technique, his overpowering Wood Style and strength, and finally, the way he bursts his chakra, which is similar to the Lightning Attribute Chakra Mode.
Taijutsu, Kekkei Genkai, ninjutsu, and innate talent—no matter which aspect you consider, he would stand out even in our era."
Upon hearing Hashirama's words, the Third Hokage, who was standing beside him, showed a look of surprise. As his mentor, the Third Hokage knew that Tobirama, who had developed numerous ninjutsu, was always proud and arrogant.
But now, seeing his high evaluation of Night City, it was clear how much he appreciated the latter.
The battle between Yecheng and the three Hokages raged on with earth-shattering intensity, and the Konoha Shinobi who had the fortune of witnessing this fight from atop Gama Bunta's head were left in awe by the spectacle before them.
As the new generation of Konoha, they didn't personally know Hashirama Senju or Tobirama Senju, but they could still recognize the two helpers summoned by Orochimaru; they had the same faces as the Hokage statues in the village.
In their understanding, the Hokage had always been the strongest ninja in Konoha, but now they saw something astonishing. The white-haired ninja was single-handedly fighting three previous Hokages and holding his own!
"Bunta, take these kids and leave. Yecheng is about to get serious, and it's too dangerous for them to stay here."
The Konoha Shinobi, fortunate to witness the pinnacle of ninja combat, were captivated by the intense battle.
However, a blue-and-white creature, as large as Gama Bunta and resembling a tube of toothpaste, suddenly crawled up beside Bunta and spoke to him.
The slug wasn't summoned by Yecheng but by Rin to heal the village's ninja.
The slug's message to Gama Bunta was conveyed by one of its individuals, who happened to pass by Yecheng and relayed the message.
"I understand. I won't let these brats cause trouble."
This was the first time since meeting Gama Bunta that they had seen the arrogant and unruly Gama Boss so obediently following orders. One of them couldn't help but speak up, "Boss Gama, do we have to leave like this? This battle will determine Konoha's survival, and these are such powerful ninjas. What if we..."
"Shut up, Naruto. If you want to die, don't drag me into it.
You have no idea how terrifying Senju Yecheng is. Now that he's decided to get serious, it won't be safe for us to watch from here either.
Not a single mistake, not a single missed opportunity, not a single hesitation, not a single wasted move, not a single moment of carelessness, not a single..."
Gama Bunta's words stunned the Konoha Shinobi. They thought the previous battle between Yecheng and the three Hokages had already surpassed their understanding of power.
But now, Gama Bunta revealed that Senju Yecheng had merely been warming up and hadn't been fighting seriously at all!
Naruto looked at Yecheng's back, his eyes filled with curiosity and admiration, while his companion, Nizuzi, wore a thoughtful expression.
If he could possess even half of Yecheng's strength, defeating Uchiha Itachi would be a walk in the park!
On the other side, Yecheng and the three Hokages watched as Yecheng created four clones of himself using Shadow Clone Jutsu, which quickly positioned themselves in the four cardinal directions and performed hand seals simultaneously.
"Barrier Technique: Four Red Sun Formation!"
As Yecheng's clones performed the hand seals, a massive, transparent, red flame-like barrier in the shape of a rectangular prism instantly enveloped the area.
Orochimaru, who was fighting Kakashi nearby, was shocked to see the Four Red Sun Formation being created by Yecheng's power alone.
"He's created such a large Four Red Sun Formation by himself! That damn Senju Yecheng, what kind of monster is he? Does he have more chakra than a tailed beast?!"
