Chapter 320: Hashirama: Even at My Peak, I'm No Match for Xuanyue
Chapter 320: Hashirama: Even at My Peak, I'm No Match for Xuanyue
As his subordinates engaged in battle, Uchiha Xuanyue also began his cleanup of the current enemies during the official match.
"Sage Art: Storm Release Pursuit!"
Countless laser-like wind-style ninjutsu shots fanned out from behind Xuanyue, covering enemies in all directions.
Senju Hashirama and the others immediately dodged.
But some were not quick enough.
The puppets, having just been destroyed by ice-style ninjutsu, were now reduced to defending themselves with sand, and the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, looked on with surprise as he witnessed his chest cavity being exposed.
"My Sand Armor was shattered instantly?"
Recalling how the wind-style attack had shattered the sand armor covering his body, leaving a gaping hole in his chest, Mu's face twisted in discomfort.
If he had been in his physical body, wouldn't that mean Xuanyue could kill him with a single strike?
Fortunately, he was currently in his Impure World Reincarnation body.
Mu could only sigh as he watched the empty hole in his chest rapidly restore itself, and he retreated.
But just as he was about to leave, someone stopped him.
As Mu turned to retreat, Xuanyue abruptly appeared in front of him, extending his right hand, with the Quest Sphere in his palm aimed at Mu.
Mu's expression turned solemn as he learned from his previous mistake and summoned his strongest defense, a shield made of sand, to block the attack.
Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief—
Boom!
The thick sand shield was pierced, leaving a gaping hole.
Mu's last memory was of the black sphere, the Quest Sphere, extending a long black rod that pierced through his shield and shattered his brain.
Xuanyue regarded the headless body of Mu before him without any emotion. Without further ado, as the Quest Sphere returned to its original form, he swiftly moved on to his next target with incredible speed.
After Xuanyue left, the headless body of Mu stood motionless in its place. As time passed, the expected sound of paper fluttering did not occur.
Mu remained headless.
Senju Tobirama, keenly aware of this unusual situation, quickly warned the others, "Be careful! Once struck by the Quest Sphere, even an Impure World Reincarnation body cannot recover!"
Hearing this news, as Xuanyue's true strength unfolded, the already challenging battle ahead weighed heavily on everyone's minds.
Their greatest advantage had been the seemingly endless supply of chakra due to their Impure World Reincarnation state.
But now, they had encountered the Quest Sphere, a technique that seemed specifically designed to counter them.
Unconsciously, the group became more cautious in the subsequent battles, no longer as carefree as before.
However, the bad news kept coming.
As Xuanyue ignored the First Mizukage, White Lotus's water-style ninjutsu and closed in, his right hand once again pierced through the unfortunate shinobi's chest, using the Chakra Absorption Technique to replenish his own chakra, which had been depleted after consecutive battles.
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, immediately targeted Xuanyue with his Dust Release technique, only to see it effortlessly blocked by a black protective membrane that had formed behind Xuanyue from one of the Quest Spheres.
Looking at the dissipating dust and the black membrane, untouched by the powerful jutsu, Onoki took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly, "The Dust Release technique has no effect on the Quest Sphere."
If dust release couldn't affect it, then what hope did the other ninjutsu have?
In terms of taijutsu, someone tried to kick the Quest Sphere away, only to have their leg instantly reduced to ashes, while the Quest Sphere remained untouched.
As for genjutsu, it was pointless.
Even the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, the most skilled genjutsu user present, who had summoned a giant clam and cast the genjutsu "Magic Lantern: Mirage Mansion", was unable to affect the Quest Sphere, which simply sent his summoned beast back to where it had come from.
Ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu—none of these secret techniques could do anything against the Quest Spheres or Xuanyue.
At that moment, as Xuanyue withdrew his hand from White Lotus's body, he casually sent a Quest Sphere toward him, rendering him powerless. Then, as if he were in a world of his own, he proceeded to do the same to the First Tsuchikage, Ishi, and a group of powerful Impure World Reincarnation shinobi, completely disabling them.
Soon, whether they were engaged in battle or watching from the outskirts, the morale of the Allied Forces ninjas plummeted.
Noticing this, Yuyi Xuan Yue seized the opportunity.
He clapped his hands and calmly declared, "Sage Art: Ice Shower Rain!"
Under the blood moon hanging in the sky, with the night having fully descended, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into countless needle-like icicles, pouring down like a torrential rain.
Groans and screams reverberated throughout the entire Allied Forces.
The ice needles were too dense and covered too wide an area for anyone to escape unscathed.
Tsunade, who had unlocked her Yin Seal and was already in her Hundred Seals Technique state, clenched her fists tightly as she witnessed this scene. She quickly retreated and found her disciple, Sakura, who had been inconspicuous throughout the battle.
Among the Ninja Alliance, all the surviving members of the Konoha Twelve were present, except for the protagonist, Naruto, who was absent. Without Naruto's presence, the Twelve, whose strength peaked at the Jonin level, failed to shine and instead blended into the crowd, just like the other ninjas.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, engrossed in battle, had not noticed them yet.
After Tsunade explained their intention, she and Sakura quickly bit their fingers and performed the Summoning Jutsu.
Bang!
A huge puff of white smoke emerged.
With their combined efforts, Tsunade and Sakura summoned Slug Sage, whose size was only a tenth of his original massive form.
"Another war?"
A female voice, tinged with both gentleness and sadness, emanated from the Slug Sage as he surveyed the countless ninjas beneath him.
Then, after listening to Tsunade's explanation, the Slug Sage, even at a reduced size, still larger than most summoned beasts, turned his head to regard Yuyi Xuan Yue, who was single-handedly battling their entire alliance. Without saying a word, he fulfilled his contractual obligation as he had always done.
The Slug Sage's massive body quickly melted and transformed into a gigantic carpet, sticky and sprawling across the entire battlefield.
All the injured Allied Forces ninjas who stepped on it received the healing effects of medical ninjutsu.
Through the efforts of Tsunade and Sakura, the casualties in the Ninja Alliance were significantly reduced.
"Slug Sage."
Yuyi Xuan Yue, of course, noticed this development.
Upon realizing that only a tenth of the Slug Sage's power had been summoned and not his true body, he paid it no further mind.
Compared to the Great Toad Sage, the Slug Sage, who could continuously split and regenerate, was incredibly difficult to kill.
As long as they weren't specifically targeting him, and the Slug Sage was merely fulfilling his contractual obligation, Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't want to invite any unnecessary trouble.
He retracted his gaze and focused on the remaining few Impure World Reincarnation ninjas before him. With a wave of his hand, two Quest Spheres instantly transformed into gigantic fans, slicing horizontally from left to right, leaving no blind spots.
At that moment, as Senju Hashirama witnessed his side steadily retreating, he sighed with emotion.
They had already anticipated Yuyi Xuan Yue's formidable strength.
Yet, each time they met, he continued to surprise them.
"I have to admit, even at my peak, I am no match for you, Xuan Yue."
"However, surrender is not an option for me."
Senju Hashirama clapped his hands together and resolutely launched his attack.
