Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

A large number of trees suddenly appeared on the ground, and the aura they emitted seemed to be able to swallow up everything.

At the same time, countless trees were uprooted right below Susanoo's feet, instantly entangled Susanoo's limbs, and fixed it firmly in place.

boom! boom!
At this moment, the surrounding trees grew rapidly and turned into a huge wave composed of trees, which suddenly covered Susanoo from the front, back, left and right directions.

"Is this the strength of the Shodaime Hokage at his peak?" Asuka murmured softly with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As a member of the Konoha Village, he grew up listening to the stories of Hashirama Senju. Although he had never seen Hashirama take action, he could make some guesses based on the comics he read before traveling through time.

After all, this is a tough guy who can pinch the Nine-Tailed Fox as easily as pinching a chicken.

but
It now seems that the outside world's speculation about Hashirama Senju's strength is still conservative.

This level of chakra and this large-scale ninjutsu are not just fancy tricks to bluff people, but really make people question their lives.

"No wonder Tobirama Senju dared to sell the tailed beasts back then!"

Asuka rubbed his chin with one hand, glanced at Senju Tobirama beside him, and said to himself, "Put yourself in his shoes, if my elder brother had this kind of strength, let alone selling a few tailed beasts.
As long as the price is right, Konoha doesn't want any of the tailed beasts, I will sell the Nine-Tails."

boom! !

At this time, Susanoo swung its arms violently and tore off the trees that were entangled around its body.

Uchiha Madara crossed his arms across his chest, his body trembling slightly, and there was a gleam of heat in his eyes as he looked at Senju Hashirama, "This long-lost feeling is really nostalgic!"

As he spoke, countless meridians and flesh spread along the skeleton to the surroundings. Then, a layer of dark blue chakra coat slowly and tightly wrapped Susanoo.

Swish!
A circular shock wave suddenly spread rapidly in all directions with Susanoo as the center.

The thick forest composed of trees was shattered into powder by the impact of the shock wave, and Susanoo took advantage of this opportunity to rush out from the gap and crashed directly into Hashirama Senju on the ground.

Senju Hashirama's eyes widened with shock, but his attention was on the Outer Path Demon Statue in the distance.

From the moment he saw Madara, Hashirama knew that he had become different, both in terms of strength and character.

If it was the previous Madara, he could indeed defeat his opponent if he put in a great effort, but the current Madara, because of the Rinnegan, has obviously made a qualitative leap in strength, and it is more difficult for him to defeat his opponent than before.

"But he..." Hashirama glanced at the flying Susanoo and said in surprise, "He seems unable to exert the power of the Samsara Eye now."

Although he didn't know what kind of eye technique the Rinnegan possessed, as the eyes of the Six Paths Sage, they were definitely not ordinary.

After all, even the Sharingan has all kinds of weird eye techniques, but the Samsara Eye only has...
"Shinra Tensei, Tensei Tensei, Absorption Ninjutsu."

Senju Hashirama carefully recalled the information compiled by the coalition's top brass and shook his head subconsciously. He had a hunch that these abilities might be the same as the Sharingan's innate abilities of observation, copying, hypnosis, etc.

These are the most basic abilities!!

As for why Madara didn't use the true pupil technique of the Rinnegan
Thinking of this, Hashirama suddenly blinked his eyes, muttering in his heart, "I don't understand the Samsara Eye, but don't I understand him? This guy dreams of defeating me.

If he could use the true pupil technique of the Rinnegan, he would definitely use it on me first."

He paused, then put his hands together again and spoke to Uchiha Madara.

"60-40, I'm only 60% sure now"

"What do you mean 60% sure?" Uchiha Madara paused in his flying and asked with a frown.

"Defeat your confidence!!"

Senju Hashirama said with a firm look in his eyes, "Wood Release: Flower Tree World is coming!"

At this moment, the ground suddenly rose up. Thick branches broke out of the ground like a giant dragon, wantonly cutting through the mountains, penetrating through the obstacles of rocks, and standing between heaven and earth in the blink of an eye.

On the thick branches, several flower buds are bathed in the bright moonlight, emitting a soft and mysterious white glow.

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara swung his sword and cut off one of the flowers, then quickly jumped into the sky, looking down at Senju Hashirama, "Sixty percent sure. You are still so naive and confident, you don't understand me at all now..."

"I really don't understand the Samsara Eye, but I understand you"

Before he could finish, Hashirama shook his head and said solemnly, "It is precisely because I understand you that I dare to say that I am 60% sure. The Impure World Reincarnation has restricted you. Or it has restricted the power of your Samsara Eye."

Uchiha Madara was slightly startled, and his eyes looked at Hashirama with a bit more complexity.

Just as Hashirama understood him, Madara also understood Hashirama.

It was also because of this that he chose not to use the Rinnegan's eye technique.

After all, except for the Wheel Grave and the Edge Prison, other eye techniques can hardly pose a fatal threat to Hashirama.

"Ha~"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile.

He looked at the poisonous pollen spreading from the ground and whispered, "If I hadn't opened my Samsara Eye, you would have a 100% chance of defeating me, right?"

As he spoke, Susanoo spread out a pair of wings behind his back and flapped them fiercely at the ground a few times, blowing away the pollen that could paralyze the enemy's nerves.

"I've always felt that you were deliberately suppressing your own strength, and each time you were only a little bit stronger than me. Even if I used the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, you were still a little bit stronger than me."

He paused, his eyes gradually getting colder, "Even after opening the Samsara Eye, you are still 60% sure. How much more do you have to hide, Hashirama?"

"I swear, I tried my best when you brought the Nine-Tails to Konoha!" Hashirama blinked and explained quickly, "This time you can't use the true power of the Samsara Eye, otherwise I would definitely not be your opponent."

"Do you think I believe it?"

Uchiha Madara roared, Susanoo turned around and slammed down to the ground, "Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!!"

Seeing this, Hashirama muttered softly. Seeing that he could no longer avoid the high-speed falling meteorite fireball, he could not help but smack his lips, clapped his hands, and the chakra in his body flowed along the soles of his feet towards the trees.

"Wooden Release: Wooden Man's Technique!"

The thick trunk grew rapidly, instantly forming a wooden man as big as Susanoo.

The moment the wooden man appeared, it stirred up the surrounding air with its fists and smashed directly at the meteorite-sized fireball in the sky with its fists.

Bang! !

The fist and the fireball collided, turning the sky and the earth into a fiery red color in an instant.

The fireball, as big as a meteorite, shattered directly under its fists, and under such power, the wooden man only took half a step back and stabilized his body.

The sky suddenly turned dark.

The huge body of Susanoo fell from the sky, instantly blocking out the moonlight, and attacked the wooden man.

"A showdown between giants!!"

Looking at the two giants towering between heaven and earth, which could inspire fear in people just by the majestic aura they emanated, all the ninjas present fell into silence involuntarily.

"No one knows how powerful Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama are!" A ninja said in a hoarse voice after a long silence, "But the names of these two people can only be spoken by others in fear and surprise." (End of this chapter)
