Chapter 591: Wooden Man Technique vs. Blaze Incarnation!

"Let me see if you are worthy of the title 'God of Shinobi'!"

Tang Ping directly taunted him, his words dripping with sarcasm.

"Hahaha!" Hashirama Senju burst into laughter. "A valiant fighting spirit!"

"Be careful!"

He didn't intend to prolong the battle, so he began testing his opponent with cautious attacks.

"Mokuton: Great Forest Technique!"

Huff... Huff...

Countless roots, as thick as dining tables, burst forth from the ground, sweeping towards Tang Ping's side and the black stone pillar.

Looking at the dozens of table-thick roots, Tang Ping recalled Yamato's similar technique, which only had thigh-thick roots, and instantly realized the difference in their power.

"Senjutsu: Melt Claw Technique!"

Tang Ping clenched his right claw.

Whoosh!

Below, in the lava lake, an enormous lava arm emerged, grasping the approaching roots.

Sizzle! The flames relentlessly eroded the roots.

It was evident that these roots, empowered by Yang Jutsu, were formidable, capable of withstanding even lava, their natural nemesis.

"It's time!"

After Hashirama's probing attacks proved futile, he leaped onto the 'Wooden Path' formed by the intertwining roots and charged towards Tang Ping, seemingly intent on engaging in close combat.

However, it made sense; they couldn't keep exchanging long-range attacks indefinitely.

Only after assessing the opponent's strength and concluding that defeating them through such means was impossible, would one resort to using their ultimate technique, gambling that the opponent couldn't withstand it.

"It's a pity it's not 'Madara (Ban)' or it would have been interesting!"

Tang Ping couldn't help but quip as Hashirama rushed towards him.

Whether it was in taijutsu or physical prowess, he was in no way inferior to his opponent.

Even though his body was in its twelve-year-old state, it didn't mean that Hashirama's Reanimation body was stronger.

So, he too leaped forward.

Below him was a boiling lava lake, and he was about to fall into it.

Whoosh! A black stone pillar emerged from the lava, forming a 'stepping stone' beneath his feet, allowing him to confront the charging Hashirama.

With the Immortal Body and Sage Mode, even though Tonkyu's Sage Mode didn't primarily enhance taijutsu, it still provided Tang Ping with a terrifying boost in physical combat.

Boom!!

Their fists collided, emitting a massive explosion akin to a bomb detonating.

Engaging in hand-to-hand combat! Although Tang Ping's close-quarters combat experience might not match his opponent's, the countless experiences he had accumulated before his journey through time had genuinely made him formidable in taijutsu, a fact evident from his mastery of the Golden Crow Flow Ninja Technique.

After several exchanges...

Smack! Tang Ping's fist punched through Hashirama's chest.

"Can you withstand this punch?"

His punch, devoid of additional fire damage, resembled the rhythm of a wild bite.

In other words, Hashirama's current body was far inferior to the flesh-and-blood body tempered by countless battles. At most, it would have shattered the armor and sent the person flying, but it couldn't inflict such severe damage.

"Impressive taijutsu. Among those I've encountered, you rank within the top five!"

Hashirama glanced at the gaping hole in his chest and praised Tang Ping.

Given his track record, ranking within the top five placed him among the elite taijutsu practitioners.

"It's a shame I can't face the God of Shinobi in his prime!"

Tang Ping retracted his fist and took a step back, watching as a torrent of paper scraps surged towards Hashirama's chest, repairing his wounds, and he came to understand Hashirama's current state.

The 'immortality' of the Reanimation Body was a significant handicap for top-tier warriors.

Aside from the flesh-and-blood body tempered by countless battles, which had far superior defense compared to the fragile Reanimation Body that was as brittle as 'paper', the mere absence of a sense of danger was a significant disadvantage.

If it had been a flesh-and-blood body, it would have sensed the impending danger from Tang Ping's punch.

But with the Reanimation Body, even if it were reduced to ashes, it wouldn't die, and naturally, it wouldn't possess a 'sense of danger'.

"Although you are strong, for the sake of Konoha, I must kill you!"

Hashirama's expression turned solemn.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Enma had also disappeared.

This wasn't Orochimaru's doing; it was Hashirama's handiwork.

Indeed, his earlier assault had been a diversion to cover his tracks.

Even if he didn't understand the forbidden technique of the Reincarnation of the Impure World, it didn't mean that as the God of Shinobi, he couldn't take the opportunity to make a small move.

So, at this moment, Orochimaru took the Second Hokage to chase after Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As for the task left to Senju Hashirama, it was to take care of Tang Ping.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Tang Ping felt the other's killing intent as tangible as a physical entity, and his battle intent surged.

After testing each other, both sides realized that the other wasn't the type to be dealt with through petty means, so what followed was the stage of unleashing their full power.

Tang Ping had absolute confidence in this.

It wasn't that his strength surpassed that of Senju Hashirama, the 'God of Shinobi,' but rather that the other's power was restricted by the limitations of the sacrificial technique, preventing him from reaching his peak.

At the very least, he didn't have to worry about the other using a true Thousand Hands, a super move that could destroy heaven and earth with a single strike.

Sage Mode couldn't be used either.

Once able to use Sage Mode, his strength would almost reach the level of 'Ultra Shadow,' and if Tang Ping didn't want to expose his ace, it would be a tough battle.

However, it didn't matter. The longer the fight, the better.

This was Konoha, not the Heavenly Castle, and the more intense the fight, the greater the impact and destruction on Konoha, which was a good thing for him.

The only concern was not being too obvious, lest the Six Paths LYB see through his flaws, otherwise, he would have loved to take on the fight himself.

But if he didn't take on the fight, and in the name of 'protecting Konoha,' if there were some accidental injuries, could he be blamed?

Yes, Tang Ping's fight with the First Hokage was indirectly protecting Hiruzen Sarutobi and Konoha, and thinking of it this way, he was indeed on Konoha's side.

Slap! Senju Hashirama clapped his hands, and the 'Wood Path' beneath him dissolved, causing him to fall towards the magma lake below, appearing as if he were about to commit suicide.

In mid-air, he lightly shouted, "Wood Style: Wooden Man Technique!"

In the forest behind him, countless branches stretched out, extending and gathering beneath Senju Hashirama, forming a wooden giant several dozen meters tall.

Boom!! The massive wooden giant fell into the magma, half of its body submerged, stirring up a towering wave.

"Why do top-tier warriors like to 'pilot Gundams'?"

Tang Ping stood on the stone pillar, looking down at the wooden giant below and muttering to himself.

Clearly, this was a battle of wits and strength between ninjas.

But ever since these 'Gundam enthusiasts' appeared, it had turned into a Gundam battle, purely a contest of who had the stronger attacks and thicker defenses.

It was utterly ridiculous!

This was not at all like a ninja.

However, Tang Ping had no choice but to join in when he couldn't win.

Slap! He also clapped his hands.

"Divine Technique: Blaze Incarnation!"

Under the terrifying divine chakra.

Whoosh! The magma lake began to violently spin.

In the center of the spinning magma, a giant armored warrior clad in dark golden armor, with a long sword at his waist, looking majestic and sacred, gathered.

In terms of size, it was slightly shorter than when he had previously gone all out.

However, this was Tang Ping's modified divine technique.

It consumed less chakra, had stronger defense, and greater strength... and so on.

It could be said to be an all-around enhancement.

Especially with the addition of Yang Style, it had achieved a qualitative improvement.

Stomp! Tang Ping jumped onto the top of the armored warrior, then gazed at the wooden giant in front of him, which was slightly shorter than his own.

"Is this the Wooden Man Technique? It seems a bit weak."

Sensing the state of the wooden giant in front of him, this thought flashed through Tang Ping's mind.

In the plot, the wooden giant was capable of catching the Tailed Beast's orbs with his hands and directly withstanding the Nine-Tails.

However, although the wooden giant in front of him was also incredibly powerful, in Tang Ping's eyes, it seemed a bit 'underwhelming.'

But when he thought about Senju Hashirama's state, he felt that it wasn't incomprehensible.

After all, he was currently at the level of a Strong Shadow, not a true Ultra Shadow, so it wasn't strange for the Wooden Man Technique to be affected.

"Let's go!"

Senju Hashirama looked at the dark golden armored giant in front of him, his eyes filled with boiling battle intent, and controlled the wooden giant to move forward.

And it wasn't just that, he also used another Wood Style technique.
