"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!" A surge of chakra erupted, coalescing into a colossal wooden figure on the battlefield. Towering as tall as a complete Susanoo, this Wood Human rivaled the ninjutsu Hashirama Senju used to counter Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, capable of catching a Tailed Beast Ball single-handedly. Its power surpassed Kage-level strength.
"Such chakra consumption." Tengen mused within his Susanoo, feeling the drain. Thanks to his Uzumaki physique, he could endure it. He couldn't yet wield Wood Release in Sage Mode, lacking Hashirama's Sage Body, but this Wood Human was more than enough for the tailed beasts before him.
"This Wood Release…" Kokuō, the Five-Tails, stared at the massive figure, recognizing Hashirama's legendary technique that once subdued them. Both Hashirama and Madara were figures dreaded by tailed beasts, their power so immense they could suppress the entire ninja world alone.
"Exactly, Wood Release." Tengen said calmly. "Now it's two against two. A fair fight."
His words darkened Son Goku and Kokuō's expressions, sensing Tengen's confidence in toying with them. To Tengen, it was true, only the Sage of the Six Paths, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, or a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki could challenge him now. With the tailed beasts scattered and Madara inactive, such a foe was impossible.
"Who's first? Kokuō, you're up." Tengen said, his Susanoo charging at the Five-Tails.
"I'm not Son Goku!" Kokuō roared, rushing forward, leveraging its strength and close-combat prowess to clash with Susanoo.
"Perfect." Susanoo's massive fist swung, striking Kokuō's head. Both recoiled slightly.
"Not bad, Kokuō. Stronger than the Four-Tails." Tengen said.
"You're formidable." Kokuō said, stunned that its strength only matched Susanoo's.
"But not enough to beat me." Black flames, Amaterasu, coated Susanoo's fists, exuding an eerie, mystical aura that unnerved Kokuō.
Meanwhile, Son Goku roared, battling the Wood Human. Despite its ferocity, it couldn't overpower the construct. A Tailed Beast Ball it fired was effortlessly caught single-handedly.
"No match at all." Son Goku muttered, eyeing Tengen's fight with Kokuō. It planned to slip away, fearing a worse fate than last time. If its Jinchuriki died, Tengen might capture it, and Son Goku dreaded what might follow.
It fought the Wood Human, luring it further away to create distance for escape.
"Kokuō, looks like the Four-Tails is fleeing." Tengen noted, glancing at Son Goku's retreat.
"Damn it!" Kokuō growled, battered from its clash with Susanoo, where it was steadily losing ground.
"Let's end this." Susanoo drew its long blade, black Amaterasu flames licking along its edge. "Sword Technique: Endless Blade!" Susanoo vanished, reappearing around Kokuō. Countless black-flame blades, empowered by space-time ninjutsu, pierced the Five-Tails, their destructive force overwhelming.
"What… terrifying power!" Kokuō's eyes widened as its body shattered. Han collapsed, unconscious, the Five-Tails' severe injuries transferring to its Jinchuriki.
"As for the fleeing Four-Tails." Tengen smiled, sheathing his blade. His left hand summoned a black longbow, a dark arrow forming as Susanoo drew it back. "Ki, Amaterasu, Armament Haki, and space-time power." The arrowhead warped space itself, alien forces fused by Tengen's will.
"Go!" Susanoo loosed the arrow, which vanished instantly.
"I'm far enough now, further than last time. That attack can't reach me." Son Goku thought, fending off the Wood Human. Glancing back, it saw Kokuō obliterated by Susanoo's assault. Then it noticed Tengen's familiar archery stance.
"Run!" Son Goku accelerated, ignoring the Wood Human's attacks. "It's gone?" It realized the arrow had vanished upon release.
"Missed?" Son Goku hesitated, still fleeing, but a chill struck its rear. A black arrow materialized behind it, piercing through its backside with devastating force, obliterating the Four-Tails in an instant.
"I hate this!" Son Goku's scream echoed as it was blasted again.
