Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Successor of Shadow (Part 2)

There's no time to mourn Uchiha Madara's defeat!

Next to appear is the founder of Konoha, the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, the Wood Release user, Uzumaki Mito's husband, Senju Tobirama's elder brother, Ashura's closest friend, and the reincarnation of Ashura, Senju Hashirama—who only has a progress bar, not a health bar!

On the battlefield, Mū and Hōzuki Gengetsu cleared away the surging Wood Release.

At the same time, Mū did not forget to assist the Raikage and Shamon.

Without any warning, Mū rapidly condensed a clone at an astonishing speed!

The speed was breathtaking.

Immediately after, Mū unhesitatingly ordered this clone to quickly rush to the battlefield to assist the Second Raikage and Shamon in battle.

"Mū, Mr. Shamon, please lend me a hand! I want to find a way to hit Senju Hashirama with a powerful blow!"

The Second Raikage's voice was deep and firm.

"Okay!"

Hearing the Second Raikage's call, Shamon immediately reacted.

He quickly manipulated his sand like a raging storm, surging madly towards Senju Hashirama!

The sand moved swiftly, flying rapidly in the air, forming a sand wave that swept over Senju Hashirama like an overwhelming tide.

"Next, watch my Light Weight Rock Technique!"

Seeing this, Mū immediately unleashed his unique skill—the Light Weight Rock Technique.

He formed hand signs, muttered incantations, and a powerful force instantly erupted from his body.

At the same time, Mū cleverly used Dustless Bewildering Cover to hide himself in the shadows, quietly attaching himself to the Second Raikage's back.

This way, he could not only observe the battlefield situation better but also launch an unexpected attack on Senju Hashirama at a crucial moment.

The Second Raikage felt Mū's presence, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly into a confident smile.

He clenched his fists tightly, and all the power in his body was stimulated at this moment, feeling his body become exceptionally light, as if he could easily fly!

Senju Hashirama's eyes were sharp, and his reaction was quick.

Senju Hashirama's figure flickered, swiftly dodging the surging sand wave; his Body Flicker was as fast as lightning, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

Immediately after, Senju Hashirama pressed his hands down forcefully.

A powerful Wood Release force gushed out.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

In an instant, countless giant trees suddenly rose like a green ocean, fiercely colliding with the rolling sand wave!

Only a earth-shattering roar was heard, as if the entire world was torn apart at this moment.

The sand wave and the forest collided, stirring up a sky full of dust and wood chips, obscuring the sky and sun, making it impossible to see the battle situation within.

Just in this chaos, a dazzling lightning bolt suddenly cut through the darkness.

It was the Second Raikage!

He, along with Mū, used the Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique at an astonishing speed, flashing like a bolt of lightning to Senju Hashirama's side.

"Lightning Release: Lariat!!!!"

The Second Raikage roared, and a furious lightning force instantly condensed between his hands.

This lightning was like a roaring giant dragon, baring its fangs and claws, lunging towards Senju Hashirama; its speed was so fast, it was like instantaneous movement, in the blink of an eye, it was almost touching Senju Hashirama's face!

Facing such a fierce attack, Senju Hashirama remained expressionless, not even glancing at the violent lightning.

"Wood Release: Hōbi Technique!"

Senju Hashirama whispered, forming hand signs at the same time, and a powerful Wood Release force once again surged from his body.

The already enormous forest suddenly began to tremble violently, and countless thick branches rapidly intertwined as if alive, forming an indestructible wooden wall.

Boom!!

Another loud bang, and the Lightning Release Lariat fiercely struck the Wood Release Hōbi Technique.

However, to everyone's surprise, despite the immense power of the Lariat, the Wood Release Hōbi Technique remained as steady as a mountain, completely unharmed!

"This thing is very hard..."

Mū, who was behind the Second Raikage, couldn't help but be secretly astonished when he saw this; he remembered that in the original work, this Hōbi Technique could withstand Tailed Beast Balls and Uchiha Madara's slashes.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a sound of breaking air, Senju Hashirama's figure suddenly appeared beside the Second Raikage.

His speed was as fast as lightning, accompanied by a chilling whoosh.

The Second Raikage didn't react at all; his pupils contracted sharply, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Before he could make any defensive moves,

Senju Hashirama's fist, accompanied by surging blue Chakra, had already slammed into him like a cannonball.

Boom!!

The power of this punch was immense, directly sending the Second Raikage and Mū, who was beside him, flying.

They flew through the air like kites with broken strings, drawing an arc before heavily crashing to the ground.

"This! Senju Hashirama's strength is actually so powerful!"

The Second Raikage struggled to get up from the ground; his chest felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, the pain unbearable, his eyes wide, looking at Senju Hashirama with disbelief.

He originally thought that Senju Hashirama was only formidable with Wood Release, but he never expected his strength to be so terrifying.

The power of this punch simply exceeded his imagination.

It was even more impressive than his own fifty years of deadlifts at Kumogakure's gym.

If you said Senju Hashirama wasn't on steroids,

he wouldn't believe it!

Mū also gritted his teeth slightly.

Senju Hashirama was different from Uchiha Madara; Uchiha Madara at least might be proud and careless, allowing them to find a weakness.

Senju Hashirama was different.

He was clearly very strong, yet he was extremely cautious.

"Die!!!"

However, Senju Hashirama's attack did not stop there.

His figure approached the Second Raikage like a gale, giving his opponent no chance to breathe.

"Hah!!"

Senju Hashirama roared, and with a fierce punch, he struck the Second Raikage's chest again!

The force of this punch was even stronger than before.

It directly sent the Second Raikage flying backward again.

Pfft!

The remaining clothing on the Second Raikage's body instantly exploded under this immense impact, turning into countless fragments scattering in all directions.

His body was also deeply embedded in the ground, as if hit by a cannonball.

Whoosh!!

Senju Hashirama's attacks were like a torrential downpour, giving the Second Raikage no chance to breathe.

He immediately followed up with a flying kick, aiming directly at the Second Raikage's forehead.

The speed of this kick was as fast as lightning, and its power was even more astonishing.

The Second Raikage felt a breath of death rushing towards him; his entire body was enveloped in fear.

Damn it! Is he trying to kill me?

If this blow connected, he would definitely be dead!

Just at this critical moment!

Hōzuki Gengetsu suddenly roared: "Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu!!"

He suddenly freed one hand, unleashing a powerful stream of water that instantly converged into a giant water dragon, baring its fangs and claws, lunging towards Senju Hashirama!

Facing this ferocious water dragon, Senju Hashirama showed no fear; a green light suddenly emanated from his body, and then an equally massive wood dragon appeared out of thin air, tightly coiling around him.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

With Senju Hashirama's roar, the wood dragon, like an arrow released from a bowstring, slammed directly into the water dragon!

Only an earth-shattering roar was heard as the two giant dragons collided fiercely!

Roar!!

Boom!!!

In an instant, water splashed everywhere, and air currents surged.

The entire battlefield seemed to be torn apart by this immense impact!

However, this water dragon was, after all, only a Water Release Ninjutsu, so how could it be a match for Senju Hashirama's powerful Wood Release?

The moment the two dragons collided, the water dragon was torn apart by the wood dragon as easily as if it were made of paper!

Immediately after,

the wood dragon opened its bloody maw and mercilessly swallowed the water dragon into its belly!

After devouring the water dragon, the wood dragon's momentum grew even stronger.

It roared, carrying unparalleled might, like a burning meteor, rushing directly towards Hōzuki Gengetsu!

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

While flying, he suddenly waved his hands, and a dazzling light suddenly shot out from his hands, striking the wood dragon directly!

With a flash of light, the wood dragon's massive body was cut in half as if by a sharp knife; large sections of its body instantly broke off, falling to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

And at this very moment, the Second Raikage and the Mū clone, who had been lying on the ground, also seized the opportunity to leap up.

Taking advantage of this rare gap, they quickly widened the distance between themselves and Senju Hashirama!
