Ryun took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness within him. No, he must not be provoked, or he would fall into the trap set by this scheming Hashirama.
He had reason to suspect that it was precisely because of Hashirama's behavior that Madara became agitated during their fights, then lost stamina and was defeated by Senju Hashirama.
Senju Hashirama raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, 'Did he not take the bait? Well, it doesn't matter. I am confident I can outlast him, because I have the Sage Body!'
Sometimes, having greater strength doesn't guarantee victory. There are countless examples of the strong losing to the weak. Remember, the strong may stand below, while the gentle and soft remain above!
The real winner is the one who endures until the end! After organizing his thoughts, Ryun slowly exhaled. Everyone said Senju Hashirama was an honest man, but now he understood—that was just the surface. He was actually a black sesame tangyuan, white on the outside but black on the inside!
Ryun's Sage Body began restoring the chakra consumed within his body, and he started formulating a new battle plan!
Seeing that Ryun was not attacking, Senju Hashirama curled up the corner of his mouth. "Since you won't make a move, I will come to you!"
After saying that, Senju Hashirama's figure vanished. Ryun instantly activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, capturing Hashirama's movement trajectory. Above!
Ryun pulled out the Uchiha fan and raised it to block!
With a loud bang, Ryun's Flame Fan collided with Senju Hashirama's fist. Strangely, Hashirama was not repelled; instead, the force transmitted from the fan into Ryun's body.
The ground beneath Ryun's feet shattered and then sank. Spiderweb-like cracks spread out in all directions from under his feet!
Ryun's face flushed red. Indeed, Senju Hashirama's physical strength was a notch above his own! Even to the extent that this power could resist the反弹 effect of the Uchiha fan!
Senju Hashirama's pupils trembled. He actually hadn't knocked Ryun down in one blow? This guy's physical condition is pretty good! But then, could my granddaughter endure it in the future?
The pupil in Ryun's right eye rotated. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated the Will of the War God. I am the War God! All attributes doubled!
The golden light, combined with the Sage Body and Sage Mode enhancements, actually caused Ryun's strength to surpass Senju Hashirama's!
He lifted both hands, and Senju Hashirama was sent flying by this tremendous force. But Hashirama did not panic. With just a bounce in mid-air, he stabilized his posture, then clapped his hands together. Trees grew wildly, providing him a foothold.
Senju Hashirama landed steadily on it. Seeing this, Ryun put away the Uchiha Flame Fan and then took out the Blazing Flame Fan.
Senju Hashirama's eyes flickered. He had never seen this weapon of Ryun's before, but sensing the dense fire attribute chakra within it, he couldn't help but feel startled.
Ryun did not look at his reaction. Instead, holding the Blazing Flame Fan with both hands, he took a deep breath. "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Red flames spewed from his mouth. After passing through the Blazing Flame Fan, the flames turned golden. Both their quality and range doubled.
Senju Hashirama's pupils constricted. He clapped his hands together. "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique." "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!" He simultaneously performed two major Wood Release jutsu.
The wooden human moved forward to block, while the wooden dragon carried Senju Hashirama away from the battlefield, circling around to observe the situation.
The giant wooden human, upon touching the golden flames, struggled desperately but could not shake off the golden fire. Moreover, the golden flames spread extremely quickly. In just ten seconds, the originally intact wooden human was completely engulfed by the golden flames. Within thirty seconds, the Wood Human Technique turned to ashes!
Senju Hashirama's face showed caution. Meanwhile, spectator Uchiha Madara was visibly moved. He murmured, "What a treasure." If he had had this treasure back then, even two Senju Hashirama would not have been his match!
Senju Hashirama rode the wooden dragon flying in the air. Ryun also saw it. Not only was it extremely fast, but wherever the wooden dragon passed, not a blade of grass remained!
Ryun raised an eyebrow. He had a bad feeling!
Sure enough, Senju Hashirama rode the wooden dragon charging toward him. The wooden dragon roared and rushed at Ryun, who quickly utilized the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The moment the attack was about to land on him, he teleported to another foothold. The place where he had originally been standing exploded!
Just as Ryun was still admiring Hashirama's handiwork, a hand patted his shoulder and asked in a naive tone, "Are you okay?"
Ryun shuddered all over. A right whip kick lashed out!
Senju Hashirama raised his arm to block. With a loud bang, Ryun felt as if he had kicked an iron plate.
Senju Hashirama only grunted. This kid was going for the kill!
Actually, it wasn't Ryun's fault. Who wouldn't be scared by someone suddenly patting their shoulder and asking "Are you okay?" out of nowhere?
Ryun saw it was Senju Hashirama, withdrew his whip kick, then delivered a front kick to Hashirama's chest. Seeing that it didn't budge him, Ryun used the force to pull back and create distance.
Senju Hashirama scratched his head, looking innocent.
However, thinking of the purpose of this duel, his gaze darkened. He clapped his hands together and shouted, "Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!" Sage markings appeared on his face. Senju Hashirama looked serious.
With a crashing sound, a great Buddha rose from the ground, reaching three hundred meters high. Senju Hashirama stood on the Buddha's head, arms crossed, looking down at Ryun below.
Uchiha Madara, "!!! No way, is Hashirama being serious?"
The Six-Tails and Nine-Tails, "Shivering in fear."
Uzumaki Mito frowned, a flash of anger in her eyes. Could it be that Hashirama intended to kill his future grandson-in-law?
Tsunade was even more incredulous. Her grandfather actually used this jutsu for a clash of ideals! Now she began to worry about Ryun's safety.
Ryun saw this, raised his head to look at the great Buddha rising from the ground, and took a sharp breath. So this was Senju Hashirama? However, he would not just wait for death!
Ryun clapped his hands together. "Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!" Purple sage markings appeared. Similarly, a great Buddha rose from the ground, though it was about fifty meters shorter than Senju Hashirama's great Buddha.
Senju Hashirama could still look down on Ryun, though his expression showed some surprise. He didn't understand how Ryun could perform the True Several Thousand Hands.
But judging by the height, Ryun was still some distance away from him. This indicated that in this technique, Ryun was somewhat inferior to him.
Just as Senju Hashirama prepared to launch the Top Transformation Buddha, Ryun's Sharingan whirled. "Susano'o!"
A golden-red Susano'o appeared, enveloping Ryun's great Buddha. Then came the skeleton, muscles, armor, merging into one with the True Several Thousand Hands.
Ryun's great Buddha suddenly opened its eyes, pupils reflecting Ryun's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Its size doubled, reaching five hundred meters. This time, the tables had turned!
Even the legendary God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, felt a headache coming on.
Susano'o clad Great Buddha!!!!
