Chapter 273: A Sword That Splits Heaven and Earth [47]
"Oh... That was fast..."
Seeing Feng Ye dodge the Wooden Golem's attack, Hashirama Senju breathed a slight sigh of relief. Sensing the immense chakra within Feng Ye, comparable to his own, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he smiled, "Is this the chakra of a ninja who can perfectly control the power of the Nine-Tails?"
"Then you should be able to stop me."
"In my Impure World Reincarnation state, my chakra is infinite. Don't try to outlast me. Find a way to attack my original body and seal me with a sealing technique. Your speed gives you a chance."
Hashirama manipulated the Wooden Golem to raise its giant hand and clap down towards Feng Ye, simultaneously explaining his current situation.
Feng Ye faintly smiled and said, "There's no need for that."
Buzz! !
The Wooden Golem's massive hand, capable of restraining a Tailed Beast Ball and easily pressing down on a Tailed Beast's face, swept down towards Feng Ye, bringing with it a gust of wind.
Facing the incoming giant hand, Feng Ye lightly raised the golden sword in his hand, assuming a drawing stance, and suddenly swung it upwards.
"Golden Reincarnation Sword."
Chi!
A golden light flashed and instantly spread from the bottom up, piercing through the bodies of the Wooden Golem and Hashirama Senju before disappearing into the horizon.
The Wooden Golem's towering body froze in place, its giant hand pressing towards Feng Ye, immobilized in mid-air.
Even Hashirama's expression was frozen in place.
Then!
Under the awe-struck and trembling gazes of countless Konoha ninjas, the giant Wooden Golem manipulated by Hashirama Senju showed a clear fissure on its hand that was pressing towards Feng Ye. This fissure spread neatly across the Wooden Golem's massive body.
In Kakashi Hatake's incredibly shocked gaze, the Wooden Golem that had previously suppressed the Nine-Tails split cleanly in two, its broken surfaces perfectly even.
"Uh..."
Hashirama's body also split in two. Both halves of his body revealed a startled expression, and his hands, which had been clasped in front of him, remained open and spread evenly as they fell to his sides.
As he fell from the split Wooden Golem, Hashirama looked down and saw a deep abyss-like fissure in the ground, extending from the golem's feet to the far horizon, where a massive canyon had formed, stretching farther than the eye could see!
"Such an attack..."
A hint of astonishment flashed in Hashirama's eyes.
Indeed, as he had sensed, Feng Ye's chakra surpassed his own. This attack far exceeded even Uchiha Madara's complete Susanoo's cutting power!
Silence fell.
A ray of sunlight shone on Hashirama's face.
His split and falling body turned to look up at the sky, and the astonishment in his eyes turned to shock. He saw that in the sky, high above—a place of unknown height—the dense clouds had also split, just like the earth, with a neat fissure!
The sunlight shone through this fissure.
It shone on his face.
Then.
Feng Ye reached out, his hand open, and released a gravitational force that pulled on Hashirama's split body, drawing it upwards.
"To prevent you from being reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation again, I'll seal you first, First Hokage."
Feng Ye spoke as he looked at Hashirama. Dark text seals quickly intertwined in his palm, covering Hashirama's body.
After all, he was Tsunade's grandfather and the First Hokage of Konoha. The most appropriate way to deal with him was either to release him from Impure World Reincarnation or to temporarily seal him with a sealing technique.
After resolving everything, he could then lay Hashirama to rest.
Additionally, Feng Ye intended to erase all traces of the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu afterward, ensuring that no record of its existence remained.
After all, it was a troublesome technique, and constantly summoning the dead was annoying. Moreover, the jutsu itself was a bug, and he wasn't even sure if he could be affected by it again after destroying the Seekor Pearl.
Even the Killing Bone Ashes, capable of obliterating Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Six Paths Power, couldn't erase the essence of the soul, as Obito had returned from the dead using Kamui of the Sharingan.
The destructive power of the Seekor Pearl paled in comparison.
However, this turned out to be a blessing for Feng Ye.
Since his time ability was intertwined with his soul, it meant that no one could kill him either, not even with Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Killing Bone Ashes.
In his current state, even facing a prime Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the best she could hope for would be a stalemate, as she was vulnerable to sealing, whereas he was not.
"Unbelievable..."
"A Kage after my time has far surpassed me..."
"Fifth... You..."
Hashirama's body was swiftly enveloped by dark textual seals. Looking at Feng Ye, he felt relieved yet astonished, "In that case, I can rest easy... Leave the one controlling the Impure World Reincarnation to you..."
"Rest assured."
Feng Ye's final words to Hashirama were followed by the black textual seals completely covering the First Hokage's body. They then contracted, turning into a black silken thread.
Reaching out, Feng Ye caught the thread and, in a flash, returned to the front lines of Konoha. Appearing before Tsunade, he opened his hand toward her.
"I've sealed the First Hokage here."
"It's up to you, Tsunade, to keep watch over him."
Tsunade, still dazed, stared at the endless canyon behind Feng Ye and the split sky.
Snapping out of her stupor at his words, she reached out and took the black silken thread from him.
"I'll head to Sunagakure."
"The rest is up to you for now, Tsunade."
Feng Ye nodded slightly to Tsunade and then sensed the Flying Thunder God Seal he had left on Kurenai Yuhi. With that, he vanished into thin air.
Countless Konoha ninjas were left staring blankly at the sky.
"..."
Tsunade took a breath, trying to calm her tumultuous emotions. She turned to Sakumo Hatake and said, "Sakumo, we're about to seal you. Are you ready?"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Sakumo slowly regained his senses, though his eyes still held a turbulent depth as he looked away from the distant sky.
The sky had split.
The earth had split.
Was that attack truly unleashed by Feng Ye?
"Such power... No wonder he bears the same title as the First Hokage... I'm more curious about what happened after my death..."
Sakumo muttered in a daze, turning to Tsunade. "Can you tell me a little about Feng Ye?"
