Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 140 The highest level of recognition is being recognized by the enemy.

At some point, the sky above the battlefield turned gloomy, and the sun, which had been shining brightly just moments before, was now obscured by layers of dark clouds.

The golden light that descended from the sky pierced the darkness, allowing a bright, golden sun to reappear on earth.

As a ray of sunlight fell upon Uchiha Tajima, a huge phantom slowly materialized behind him, and with the infusion of golden sunlight, it began to expand and grow, gradually transforming into a human shape.

As the phantom materialized into human form, silver-gray skeletons grew out from behind it, and a pair of skull-like hands quietly appeared, grasping Uchiha Tajima within them.

The humanoid figure continued to grow taller, and the blurry halo around its body slowly solidified. The skeletal frame was wrapped in a thick layer of armor, eventually transforming into a silver-gray giant comparable to a wooden Arhat.

Susanoo - Stage 4

"Phew~ This is my first time using this, and it's quite powerful."

At this moment, Uchiha Tajima stood atop his own Susanoo, rubbing his slightly sore eyes, his tone filled with emotion. He could now look directly at Senju Hashirama and the others atop the wooden doll opposite him.

"Uncle, please try some Uchiha specialty products~"

Amidst the opponent's shocked expression, Uchiha Tajima raised his hands, wielding a silver-gray Susanoo, and a long string of enormous tomoe condensed in his hands.

The magatama, brimming with oppressive power, emitted bursts of sonic booms. Moved by Uchiha Tajima's thoughts, the magatama, like shuriken, attacked the stunned Senju Hashirama.

【Yasaka Magatama】

"Big brother! Don't just stand around in the middle of the fight!"

Seeing the string of silver-gray magatama larger than a person, Tobirama Senju was the first to come to his senses. Before he could even think about what secret technique the other party had used, he quickly gave his elder brother an elbow to wake him up from his daze.

"Tobirama, am I under a genjutsu?"

Hashirama Senju stretched out his hand, pointed at the silver-gray giant wielding magatama in the distance, and asked his younger brother with disbelief, hoping that the other could help him break the genjutsu.

"boom!!!"

It was too late for Tobirama to explain. The massive magatama had already struck the still-dazed wooden dummy head-on, and a series of huge explosions rang out. The two people standing on the wooden dummy stumbled and almost fell off.

"It really is true!"

Hashirama Senju quickly steadied the wooden doll, then looked up at the silver-gray giant in the distance, about the same size as his own doll, his voice filled with excitement.

"Tobirama, look at that giant, isn't he super cool! Why isn't Madara taking it out?"

"Heh, maybe that evil Uchiha looks down on you."

Even at such a critical moment, Little White Hair did not miss any opportunity to sow discord.

"Oh, I see~"

Hashirama Senju instantly became dejected, visible black lines appearing behind him, and he muttered softly.

"So, that guy Madara was just messing around with me after all~"

"Kid, didn't anyone teach you not to get distracted during a fight?"

Just as Hashirama Senju was squatting on the wooden dummy's head drawing circles, a cold voice rang in their ears.

"!!!"

The silver-gray giant that had been in the distance just moments before had suddenly appeared in front of the wooden doll. Uchiha Tajima, who was in the cockpit of the Susanoo head, was watching them with a stern face.

Madara actually lost to this clueless brat. He's too lax. I must give him a good beating when we get back.

"Swish swish~"

The first to react was Tobirama Senju, who instantly threw several kunai at Uchiha Tajima above Susanoo's head, and then stretched out his hands to form hand seals.

"Which hand did you use to scratch the spot?"

Ignoring the kunai hurtling towards him, Uchiha Tajima fixed his fierce eyes on Senju Hashirama and asked angrily,

Um, the way you're talking, it sounds like you're questioning the blond guy about why he kidnapped his own daughter?

"Crackling and popping~"

The sharp kunai didn't even produce a spark on Susanoo. Only this white-haired kid would come up with the idea of ​​stabbing Susanoo with kunai. Hopefully, he won't teach it to his apprentice, or he'll suffer a terrible death.

"what?"

Completely baffled by the question, Hashirama Senju instinctively stretched out one hand, and the wooden figure's large hand rose at the same time.

"Crack!"

The wooden doll's raised hand snapped off with a crack. Uchiha Tajima, expressionless, controlled Susanoo to retract its silver-gray giant blade and spoke.

"I hope you'll be more careful next time and not lay a hand on my child."

"Big brother, move aside!"

After spending a long time forming hand seals, Tobirama Senju finally finished preparing his ninjutsu. His cheeks bulged out like balloons, and dense water-style chakra was being compressed wildly in his mouth.

Finally, after his chakra was pushed to its limit, a thin stream of water shot out from Tobirama Senju's mouth, heading straight for the towering silver giant before him.

【Water Release: Water Severing Waves】

"Hmm, this move is actually quite interesting."

The windmill in Uchiha Tajima's eyes turned slightly, and he immediately recognized the power contained in the move that Senju Tobirama had been preparing for a long time. So he gave him face and manipulated Susanoo to raise his left hand, and a silver-gray light shield extended from his hand.

The small but incredibly powerful stream of water that Tobirama Senju spat out accidentally grazed the scalp of the wooden doll Hashirama Senju, instantly shaving off a large piece of wood. Seeing the smooth, flat cut, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but swallow hard.

Why are the ninjutsu Tobirama developing becoming more and more sinister?

Seeing that Uchiha Tajima was not dodging or avoiding the attack, but instead seemed ready to take it head-on, Tobirama Senju, who was spitting water, had a hint of joy in his eyes.

Heh, you evil old Uchiha, die because of your own arrogance!

My Water Severing Wave is a ninjutsu that can cut through anything!

"Sizzle sizzle~~~"

The swiftly shooting water struck the light shield in Uchiha Tajima Susanoo's hand without any doubt, making a sizzling sound.

Soon, Tobirama Senju was surprised to find that the scene he had imagined of his opponent being split in two did not appear. The inconspicuous silver-gray light shield actually blocked all of the water flow from the Water Breaker.

No! It's not blocking, it's absorbing!

Upon realizing that his Water Severing Wave was not simply blocked by the light shield, but rather absorbed by it, Tobirama Senju, always cautious, immediately stopped channeling his chakra, and the water flow vanished instantly.

"Hmm? Why aren't you ejaculating? Look at your head of white hair, it must be due to kidney deficiency. No wonder you don't have enough stamina."

Uchiha Tajima shook his head in disappointment. Why didn't this kid keep shooting? His light shield wasn't fully charged yet.

"Hmph! That evil old Uchiha, all he knows is how to vent with words?"

Tobirama Senju, who had never lost as a hermaphrodite, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and retorted with a resentful expression,

"If you slow down any further, you might not even get to eat at your son's feast."

"How dare you, you brat!"

Uchiha Tajima was furious. As expected of the sharp-tongued Senju Songstress, eat my Great Susanoo!

"Tobirama, watch out!"

Hashirama Senju, regaining his senses, hurriedly manipulated the wooden doll to block Tajima Uchiha's punch, which was filled with resentment. The two giants then began to wrestle together, and the scene instantly spiraled out of control.

"Senju clan members, retreat to the rear! This is not a battle you can participate in!"

With eyes blazing with fury, Tobirama Senju shouted, directing the Senju clan members behind him to retreat.

Just now, Uchiha Tajima, controlling Susanoo, cleaved the earth behind Senju Tobirama with the sword energy generated by wielding his giant blade. Several Senju clansmen standing there were instantly turned into mincemeat because they couldn't dodge in time.

The silver-gray giant charged forward, his massive silver-gray blade slicing through the clumsy wooden figure as easily as cutting tofu, slicing off a large chunk of wood.

Hashirama Senju was not one to passively take a beating. He immediately manipulated the wooden dummy to punch Uchiha Tajima in the chest, producing a loud bang that sent the opponent staggering back dozens of meters.

The wooden figure pressed its advantage, waving its hand to unleash several wooden dragons that swirled towards the unsteady silver-gray giant. However, the giant summoned a light shield with its left hand once more, absorbing all the wooden dragons.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju noticed that the light shield held by the silver-gray giant had a symbol resembling an energy bar.

At this moment, the light shield, having just absorbed the Wood Dragon's chakra, was now at full energy, and the entire shield began to emit a dazzling light.

"Hehe, it's finally full."

Uchiha Tajima looked at the light shield in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his usually indifferent face. He then raised the gleaming shield in his hand towards Senju Hashirama Kito.

"Big brother, get out of the way!"

Even though he didn't know exactly what the light shield's effect was, Tobirama Senju's sixth sense told him that if Hashirama Senju didn't dodge it, he might die.

"Boom!~~"

Hashirama Senju could also sense the world-destroying energy emanating from the glowing shield in the giant's hand.

However, he couldn't dodge it. There were many Thousand Hands people waiting anxiously not far behind him. If he dodged, those people would suffer.

After a brief prelude, a five-colored beam of light shot out from the shield in the silver-gray giant's hand, carrying the five energies of wind, fire, earth, lightning, and water, and attacked the wooden figure of Senju Hashirama.

"Fivefold Rashomon!"

Hashirama Senju resolutely bit his finger, smeared the blood on his palm, stared intently at the approaching five-colored pillar of light, slapped his hands on the wooden dummy's head, and shouted loudly.

In an instant, the earth shook violently, and dark cracks appeared on the ground. A large door carved with a ghost face rose from the ground, followed by another. The violent shaking only subsided when five doors appeared.

Five large doors, each a different color and decorated with grotesque, demonic faces, blocked the wooden figure's path. Hashirama Senju stood ready, his eyes fixed on the five-colored pillar of light, not daring to relax for a moment.

"Boom!"

The first gate was easily obliterated, but the multicolored pillar of light continued its momentum, piercing through the second Rashomon gate. It paused slightly at the third gate before passing through it as well, and then the fourth.

By the fifth gate, the beam of light had lost its initial overwhelming momentum. It took some time to penetrate the fifth Rashomon-like gate, but it eventually did.

Seeing the weakened five-colored beam of light, Hashirama Senju did not dare to be careless. He manipulated the wooden dummy to stretch out his hands and firmly pressed the beam of light against his palms. After waiting for the energy to accumulate, he raised his hands and changed the trajectory of the beam of light.

A beam of colorful light shot straight into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds that shrouded the sky, and the bright sunshine instantly bathed the earth.

"hey-hey."

Hashirama Senju plopped down on the wooden dummy's head, looked up at the azure sky, and laughed with a sigh of relief.

"They actually blocked it."

The light shield in Uchiha Tajima's hand slowly dissipated. This thing consumed too much energy; the previous attack had almost drained his eye power.

He forced his sore eyes open, feeling the blood rushing back to his eyes; if he didn't drain it soon, he might suffer a massive hemorrhage.

"Not bad, Senju brat. Since you've accepted this move, I, Uchiha Tajima, acknowledge your status as the Senju clan leader."
