Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 481 Wooden Doll with Susanoo

An unparalleled surge of chakra flowed into the ground beneath his feet, causing the earth to crack and countless thick vines to grow from the fissures. These vines twisted and danced wildly, lifting Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha high into the sky.

Meanwhile, the vines beneath his feet twisted and deformed as they grew, eventually forming a human shape—a massive body that blotted out the sky.

With hands clasped together like a Zen Buddha, and countless hands growing behind his back, just like the surname of the Thousand Hands Clan, his appearance is very similar to that of the Buddha. However, this exaggerated physique makes it impossible to associate him with compassion; all that remains is a deep sense of fear.

Even the Five-Tails, clad in Susanoo armor, appears as insignificant as a newly hatched chick before this wooden Buddha.

The Thousand-Armed Buddha has a wooden figure of the same size as the Five-Tailed Man sitting cross-legged on his head, which clearly shows how different their sizes are.

"This power..."

Seeing this Buddha appear, everyone was amazed. They knew that Hashirama Senju, known as the God of Shinobi, was incredibly powerful, but they never expected him to be this powerful.

Suddenly, they couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness that limited their imagination.

Hashirama Senju alone was already outrageously strong, not to mention Madara Uchiha, who was comparable to him.

Faced with such a level of strength, it's hard to imagine how Aokiji would cope.

"Father, let's get out of here quickly."

Itachi Uchiha flashed to Fugaku's side and offered advice, saying that in a battle of this level, even a stomp of his foot could be fatal to him.

Both Konoha and Kirigakure chose to evacuate, as their presence here would not only be of no help but also get in the way.

On the other hand, Konan gave the same advice: "Nagato, let's leave quickly too."

Nagato smiled bitterly. He, who prided himself on being a god, couldn't help but feel as sad as a frog in a well after seeing Senju Hashirama's move.

It's not that he wasn't strong, it's just that Hashirama Senju was too strong.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju stood side by side on top of the wooden dummy's head.

Aokiji felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, his scalp tingling. He now deeply felt the pressure that Madara Uchiha faced when he faced Hashirama Senju.

He was puzzled: how could Madara Uchiha's Edo Tensei be so well-executed?

He knew that the power of the Impure World Reincarnation technique was directly linked to the offerings.

Madara Uchiha wouldn't have used any sacrificial offerings to resurrect Hashirama like he would use any random cat or dog. He probably used White Zetsu, whose strength is undeniable, but it's far too close to Hashirama's strength in life.

Little did they know that this was a sacrifice specially prepared by Madara Uchiha for Hashirama.

Madara Uchiha spent a fortune to revive his best friend and bring him back to near the strength he possessed in life.

The White Zetsu used as a sacrifice for Hashirama was a White Zetsu named "Ah Fei".

This is a White Zetsu born from the flesh and blood bitten off back then. Apart from its rather eccentric personality, it is extremely powerful.

As for the other White Zetsu, they are merely copies of this one.

In other words, this White Zetsu is the original, while the other White Zetsu are merely copies of it, and their strength is incomparable.

It was precisely because this was used as a sacrifice that Hashirama retained so much of his strength from his previous life.

"Is this the scenery where Hashirama stood back then? It's quite nice."

Standing atop the wooden dummy, Madara Uchiha surveyed the scenery below with a sense of satisfaction. He then narrowed his eyes, looked at the Five-Tails before him, and with a smirk, said meaningfully:

"Fate has really played a joke on me. I wonder if the outcome will be different."

Aokiji shook his head. Compared to him, Naruto, who was also an Ashura, was a complete waste.

Without the Nine-Tails, he truly had no idea what Naruto had left.

Sasuke has a clear path to advancement, while Naruto's Nine-Tails is, strictly speaking, an external force.

"Hey, Aokiji, this is bad."

The Five-Tails, clad in Susanoo armor, genuinely doubted whether this colossal figure before him could simply slap him to death.

Aokiji teased, "Are you scared?"

Despite her refusal to admit it, Wuwei stubbornly said, "Who's afraid?"

"Please don't get hit!"

Aokiji stared intently at the peacock-like hand behind the Buddha, his expression solemn.

They would definitely lose in a head-on confrontation. Even the Nine-Tails and Susanoo were brutally beaten, let alone the Five-Tails and Susanoo.

We must use our strengths to counter the enemy's weaknesses.

The Five-Tails' advantage is speed, while Senju Shinju's disadvantage is speed.

"In short, let's wear down the hand behind this thing first."

Aokiji devised a plan, and when the enemy made a move, he made a move.

"Aren't you going to attack?"

Madara Uchiha lost his patience. The seated Buddha straightened up, and with each step he took, the ground trembled as if an earthquake had struck. Nearby buildings shattered upon contact, and he moved with unstoppable force.

"No, if a conflict breaks out like this, it will drag our companions into it."

The five tails sprang into action, moving as swiftly as the wind, fleeing in the opposite direction from their companions.

"Don't even think about escaping."

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly. As the wooden Buddha approached, his hands, which resembled a peacock spreading its tail, shot out from behind him, raining down like meteors. Wherever the wooden fists passed, houses were shattered, the ground exploded, and thick smoke billowed.

The Five-Tails used Boil Release, its body boiling and steam billowing out. It ran wildly, guiding the Wooden Buddha to an open space. Then it ran in circles around the Wooden Buddha, circled behind it, and took advantage of its unpreparedness to shoot out a Tailed Beast Ball, which hit Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Uchiha above their heads.

"Hmph, just playing some petty tricks."

The wooden Buddha, with a wooden dragon twisting on its head, opened its mouth and lunged at the Tailed Beast Ball, biting it down. It struggled to resist but was immediately blown off its head and lunged at Uchiha Madara. However, in the next second, a wooden hand grabbed the Tailed Beast Ball, stopping its momentum. The arm stretched out and hurled it like a baseball, giving the enemy a taste of his own medicine.

Facing the tailed beast tama coming towards him, Wuwei jumped sideways, and the tailed beast tama flew into the air, colliding with a huge cloud of mushroom smoke on the ground.

The wooden Buddha's massive palm struck with force, sending thick smoke billowing from the point of impact.

Suddenly, a black figure burst through the mist, its hooves pounding its arms as it charged forward. It had accumulated a Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth, and the two Susanoo hands on its shoulders held chakra swords that were inserted directly into the Tailed Beast Ball. The overall shape resembled an open Fuma Shuriken with a black bead placed in the center circle.

The Five-Tails immediately rushed to the shoulder position, kicked off its feet, and leaped to the top of its head. Huge black wings stretched out from behind, and the tailed beast jade with the power of Susanoo and the tailed beast was sprayed out, and the turn was unstoppable. .

This attack will no longer be as easily controlled by the wooden figure as it was before.

"Haha, that's more like it."

Madara Uchiha grew increasingly excited as the fight progressed. He formed hand seals, and a massive surge of blue chakra erupted like a torrent. He leaped up and sculpted a huge blue armor that covered the wooden dummy. The long, protruding part of the helmet resembled a bird's beak, and the blue chakra on the armor swayed and danced like flames in the wind.

The Tailed Beast Ball bomb slammed against the armor for a while, then stopped before finally exploding in a huge explosion. As the smoke gradually dissipated, the armor on the giant wooden figure became even more form-fitting, and the helmet also became even more snug.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama stood side by side inside the blue gem on the helmet, in the center, completely unharmed.
