Chapter 969: The Shock of the True Senju!
Chapter 969: The Shock of the True Senju!
Rumble! Rumble!
The endless wind blades created by the Spiral Shuriken tore the lower half of the meteorite into gravel, and even the upper half was shredded into various-sized rocks.
Boom! Boom!
The ground was pockmarked with massive craters from the impact of these stones carrying terrifying kinetic energy, causing the earth to tremble beneath their feet.
These were the remnants of the meteorite, and even the largest pieces were no bigger than houses. If the original several-hundred-meter-wide meteorite had fallen, this entire area would have been devastated.
Some of the rocks were swatted away by the golden chakra fox tail, effectively protecting the area around Naruto.
At this moment, Tomoe finally gave Naruto a proper glance.
It wasn't because of Naruto's strength, but rather a gut feeling that he would hinder Tomoe's plans.
The instincts of a powerful individual were often inexplicable.
Just like Tomoe and Hashirama, no matter how they changed, they always recognized each other.
Tomoe had this feeling once again.
With this intuition, he focused on Naruto, who was protecting the Allied Shinobi Forces behind him.
"His name is Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails..."
Dougu spoke up, introducing Naruto to Tomoe after noticing his gaze.
As long as he didn't receive any orders, Dougu was fully committed to aiding Akatsuki in executing the Moon's Eye Plan. Until then, he would remain an 'extremely loyal' member of Akatsuki.
"Is that so..."
A contemplative look flashed across Tomoe's eyes.
He was already thinking about wrapping up Obito's plan.
What a waste!
Out of the nine tailed beasts, two had not been captured, and their chakra was being used as a substitute.
While it was still possible, it would be too troublesome to try and make up for it this way.
So, capturing Naruto... No, it seemed like extracting the tailed beasts was not an option.
Tomoe just remembered that the Rinnegan was not in their possession; it had been lost by Nagato, and Zetsu and Obito had failed to retrieve it.
With this realization, he abandoned the idea of capturing the Nine-Tails.
He didn't want to expose himself too soon; otherwise, he would have kicked Obito aside and taken matters into his own hands.
Note that the control of Edo Tensei could be undone with a seal.
Douhei was well aware of this, but he didn't bother to fix it, acting as if he didn't know.
He needed Tomoe to truly resurrect and serve as a sacrifice for Kaguya's descent, so he couldn't block his path to resurrection.
Note that Kaguya's descent required Tomoe's 'sacrifice,' and he could only sacrifice himself after becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, which required the Rinnegan to resurrect him.
It was a chain of events.
Therefore, Tomoe didn't rush to reveal himself but watched Obito's performance from the sidelines like a regular Edo Tensei body.
In the Ninja World, those who stood at the forefront faced the most danger, while the masterminds in the shadows were the safest and ultimate victors.
Just like Douhei at that moment.
He was getting anxious, wishing for the process to speed up.
But one couldn't blame him.
During such critical moments, even those with power had to stand by and watch, which was frustrating for anyone.
It was only because Douhei's prestige in the Scorch Sun Nation was so high that no one dared to voice their complaints.
And he had no intention of explaining himself.
The plan to deal with the Otsutsuki clan could not be leaked, not even a word. The Ninja World had too many ways of gathering intelligence, and even with his confidence, Douhei wasn't willing to take the risk.
Success lies in secrecy; failure in too many words! He wouldn't make such a mistake. At most, he would break it down into separate tasks for others to execute while hinting at some information through his attitude.
For example, the importance of absorbing refugees and stockpiling sufficient spiritual energy.
It was precisely because they could sense the importance from his attitude that both Uchiha Meika and Hyuga Aozuki worked together seamlessly, asking no questions.
They both understood Douhei's personality; he wasn't one to keep secrets unless he had to. If he didn't explain, it was because he couldn't, not because he wanted to.
If it were a research project, Douhei could remain calm, as he had developed a habit of keeping quiet.
But watching others 'get along' while he could only stand by and watch was something he couldn't tolerate.
Time shouldn't be wasted like this!
It was only for the sake of secrecy that he held back. Otherwise, he would have personally cheered on both sides, urging them to fight even harder.
However, as time passed, the battle only intensified.
Especially the evil forbidden technique, 'Dead Soil Technique,' which has now been partially controlled by Ningen-do's Soul Absorption Technique, sending half of the souls to the prison of the Yama King. The dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and the black soil on the ground turned into golden gravel.
Once this technique is completely dealt with, the Akatsuki Organization's plans will be foiled. As a result, their attacks will only become more frantic.
Yes, at this moment, 'frantic' is the only word to describe their actions.
Such frantic assaults have made the Allied Forces' defense line precarious.
The crucial factor is that the Akatsuki side has Senju Hashirama and Tomoe.
The latter needs no introduction; he can single-handedly defeat Naruto and thousands of elite ninjas, including Oonoki and Darui. As for Hashirama, he can take on five Kage-level fighters on his own.
He is truly a superhuman! Senju Hashirama is already resisting with all his might.
Not using his true Senju power is a result of this resistance.
If he hadn't resisted at all, he could have easily swept through the five Kage with his true Senju power. There's no way he would be fighting so desperately.
Yes, the so-called 'Ninja God' is considered 'desperate' if he's taking this long to defeat the five Kage.
However, Douhei's specially modified control seal is different from Senju Tobirama's. Hashirama doesn't know the release seal, so breaking free by force is impossible.
Not a single mistake, not a single move, not a single breath, not a single moment of hesitation!
This brute force approach might work, but it depends on the strength of both sides.
In the original storyline, Hashirama might have succeeded.
Although Dougu could also use Sage Mode, he was inferior to the current Dougu, who had been secretly cultivated by the Scorch Sun Nation.
Not to mention, the control seal had Douhei's input. If Hashirama were at the Six Paths level, he might have been able to break free forcibly, but even with his immense strength, it's impossible at the Super Kage level.
Does Douhei think he's just a novice in sealing techniques and soul manipulation?
However, even if he has managed to hold on until now, Senju Hashirama can no longer withstand the control.
At this moment, under the control of the seal, he claps his palms together and shouts.
"Sage Technique: True Senju Power!"
A terrifying, almost tangible wave of sage chakra surges forth, forcing the five Kage to retreat.
A thunderous rumble shakes the earth, silencing the battlefield.
It's not that they haven't seen spectacular scenes before, but the current situation is genuinely shocking.
A statue of Kannon with a thousand arms resembling a peacock's tail spread behind its back slowly rises from the ground, directly beneath the giant wooden figure on the battlefield.
Yes, a hundred-meter-tall wooden figure is sitting atop this statue's head.
This gives you an idea of its size.
Even a mountain may not be as tall as this wooden statue, which seems to reach the dark clouds in the sky with its outstretched arms and could crush a sturdy fortress with a single step.
"This..."
"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible. I must be under a genjutsu!"
"Could it be a divine being?"
...
This is the thought that crosses the minds of most ninjas on the battlefield.
Even the Akatsuki members lose their fighting spirit at this moment, and all eyes turn to the thousand-meter wooden statue.
They now understand why Senju Hashirama is called the 'Ninja God.'
Regardless of whether there are ninjutsu more powerful than True Senju Power, in terms of sheer impact, no other technique can compare.
The Uchiha clan's Susano'o claims to be the 'Power of the Gods' because it can create a terrifying giant.
But Senju Hashirama can also use the 'Wooden Human Technique' and the 'Wooden Dragon Technique,' making them comparable.
Not to mention this 'extraordinary' technique.
True Senju Power!
Before witnessing it firsthand, even if someone were to describe it, it would be dismissed as a myth or fake news.
But upon seeing it with their own eyes, they are immediately awestruck and willingly acknowledge Senju Hashirama's title of 'Ninja God.'
Not only the ninjas on the battlefield but even Douhei and his powerful subordinates, who are observing from the sidelines, fall silent.
It can be said that True Senju Power is a move that makes men silent and women tear up.
After its appearance, True Senju Power begins to move towards Ningen-do's direction.
It's clear that this is a do-or-die attempt to decide the victor.
