Senju Hashirama felt his head swell.
Fighting Madara was exhilarating; they could both just be berserkers, but now it was different—the four people below were all the type of strategist like Tobirama.
If Wu knew Senju Hashirama's analysis, he would definitely nod and say, "Exactly!"
However, Senju Hashirama's information was a bit outdated.
If he didn't have Sage Mode, then Senju Hashirama's plan would indeed be flawless; Senju Hashirama would keep an eye on the main body, and the split body would only serve as an auxiliary.
But Senju Hashirama's information was outdated.
Furthermore, Senju Hashirama hadn't witnessed his second battle with Madara.
So, he still thought that Wu, like before, could only use Dust Release with his main body.
This was an information gap!
"It seems the one below is the main body!"
Senju Hashirama immediately changed his target and began to attack the one below.
Meanwhile, Wu, flying in the sky, quickly activated Dust Release to eliminate the four Senju Hashirama clones below him.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Wu's figure appeared.
When using Dust Release, his body automatically exits the Dustless Bewildering Cover state.
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique!"
The four Wood Clones had just intended to defend.
But in the face of Dust Release, which causes true damage, they were directly reduced to atoms along with the Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique.
Senju Hashirama was shocked and immediately realized his misjudgment.
It turned out both could use Dust Release!
"In that case, I can only use that technique..."
Senju Hashirama hesitated in his heart.
He hadn't even used that technique against Madara.
After all, that technique consumed too much.
The technique in Senju Hashirama's mind was True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha!
Even Madara had never seen this technique.
However, in the end, Senju Hashirama felt it hadn't come to that point yet; Senju Hashirama had never used that trump card, True Several Thousand Hands.
"Chakra Enhanced Strength!"
As Wu used Dust Release, Wu's position was also captured by Senju Hashirama.
Senju Hashirama in Sage Mode was extremely fast!
In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived beside Wu.
Wu's pupils constricted: "So fast!"
Boom!
With Senju Hashirama's heavy blow, Wu's body was directly sent flying backward rapidly!
At the same time, Shamon quickly manipulated sand to catch Wu.
"I don't have much Chakra left..."
Wu gasped slightly, only able to choose to reluctantly dispel his split body to avoid excessive Chakra consumption.
Even with the Eight-Foot Crow on his shoulder, his Chakra was consumed extremely quickly, leaving him strapped for resources.
Senju Hashirama's Sage Mode, with its sage-like perception, allowed him to clearly sense that the Chakra of the people below was almost depleted!
His face was stern, his cold gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "Commit suicide!"
His voice was not loud, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
Immediately after, Senju Hashirama again shouted loudly, "I swear by the name of the Kage, as long as you end your own lives, I will absolutely not lay a hand on your Ninja villages! The law does not punish the masses; your villagers are innocent!"
His voice echoed across the empty battlefield, carrying an undeniable authority.
However, upon hearing this, the few people below felt even heavier at heart.
Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered to himself.
He understood Senju Hashirama quite well.
Senju Hashirama was indeed a person with great love in his heart; he would not vent his anger on an entire Ninja village because of one person's mistake.
Just like when Uchiha Madara defected, Hashirama still chose to accept the Uchiha Clan and did not wipe out the Uchiha because of Madara's actions.
Wu thought to himself, perhaps Senju Hashirama was speaking from the heart.
However, Hōzuki Gengetsu, Shamon, and the Second Raikage clearly did not think so.
"Hmph! What a joke!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu roared.
"True failure is giving up! We won't give up easily like cowards!"
The Second Raikage also spoke.
He clearly scoffed at Senju Hashirama's suggestion.
Shamon and the Second Raikage also echoed him, as they too did not believe Senju Hashirama's promise, thinking it was nothing more than Hashirama's lie.
Even though Wu knew Senju Hashirama was telling the truth, he felt there was still hope for survival, and he would not commit suicide.
"What a joke! Haven't I been fighting until now just to live?"
"In that case, I'll have to give up!"
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique!"
Senju Hashirama knew these people didn't have much Chakra left, and Wu's Dust Release couldn't be used many more times, so he immediately started forming the Wood Golem and Wood Dragon!
Rumble!!!
A majestic Wood Golem, comparable to Susanoo, rose from the ground!
Like an unshakeable mountain, the Wood Golem's head resembled an ancient demon god, with a ferocious face, exuding a chilling aura.
The Wood Golem took large strides, quickly approaching Wu and the others, each step making the earth tremble, and the Wood Dragon coiled around the Wood Golem's body.
....
On the other side of the spectating mountain.
"It's been a day and a night of fighting, and it's still not over?" a Hidden Mist Jonin mumbled indistinctly, chewing on fries.
"Hmm, they're still fighting. The Chakra has been fluctuating..." The Iwagakure Anbu responsible for observation nodded, his eyes never leaving the battlefield.
"Do we really not need to help?"
The Hidden Mist Jonin swallowed a handful of fries in two gulps, then licked his fingers, asking with lingering desire.
"Do you think that kind of battle below is something we can intervene in?"
The Iwagakure Anbu rolled his eyes at him and replied irritably, "Just now, an unknown Jonin from the Takigakure went up and was instantly slapped away, like a dog by the roadside..."
As he was speaking, the Iwagakure Anbu suddenly caught sight of the fries in the Hidden Mist Jonin's hand, and his eyes lit up: "Bastard! When did you buy these fries? I'm starving, let me have a few bites..."
Before he could finish, he pounced on the Hidden Mist Jonin like a hungry tiger, grabbing the fries from his hand and quickly stuffing them into his mouth.
"Mmm... This is the Takigakure. It's only a few kilometers to the dock, and there's food everywhere." The Hidden Mist Jonin continued to eat his fries unhurriedly.
"Huh? By the way, where are the Sunagakure and Kumogakure Ninja?"
The Iwagakure Anbu suddenly asked, scratching his head and looking around, searching for something.
Just as he was wondering, a rich aroma of grilled meat, as if on wings, wafted into his nose.
The Iwagakure Anbu couldn't help but be drawn by the tempting scent. He and the Hidden Mist Jonin exchanged glances, both showing curious expressions.
They looked intently and saw that in an open space not far away, the Sunagakure and Kumogakure forces were sitting together, with a huge barbecue grill in the middle, laden with various meats and vegetables, sizzling as they grilled.
The wafting aroma of grilled meat was coming from there.
"Six, six, six! You're having a barbecue and didn't call me?"
