The mysterious masked man's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This...this is the legendary Mingshen Sect?!"

"Is he really Hashirama Senju?!"

He had no time to think; taking Shinomiya Yuuki away before the Myōjin Gate fell was simply impossible for him.

He made a decisive move and retreated!

If you get trapped by that thing, you're really doomed!

With a flash of divine power, the mysterious masked man vanished without a trace.

Amidst a deafening roar, the Gate of the Gods crashed down.

The sturdy walls of Konoha Village crumbled and collapsed in an instant, as easily as a child's building blocks.

The loud noise echoed like thunder over the village, but even such commotion failed to attract any curious glances.

Because tonight, the Fourth Hokage issued an ironclad order:

No matter what happens outside, villagers must not go out to avoid any mishaps; staying at home and remaining still is the best course of action.

"hateful……"

The mysterious masked man appeared from his hiding place, his gaze fixed on the wall destroyed by the Ming Shenmen, where billowing smoke and dust blotted out the sky.

His eyes flashed with resentment; the opportunity he had worked so hard to gain through Izanagi had slipped away in vain.

Chapter 144 An unexpected encounter with the First Hokage; his Wood Release Sage Technique was as strong as a monster, and he could not defeat him even with all his strength!

But before he could think about it too much...

Amidst the roar, a giant wooden dragon, entirely emerald green and formed from countless trees, roared out and swooped down from the sky, heading straight for the mysterious masked man.

"The Art of the Wooden Dragon?"

The masked man's heart sank; this was another of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju's signature techniques.

Could it be that the opponent is really the legendary God of Ninjas?

Without a second thought, the wooden dragon was already upon them.

The mysterious masked man's figure blurred instantly, skillfully avoiding the dragon's impact.

Taking advantage of the fact that the wooden dragon was close at hand, he nimbly leaped up and landed on the wooden dragon's huge body.

In a flash, a black rod appeared in the mysterious masked man's hand, and he pierced the head of the wooden dragon head with a sharp clang. Several black rods were deeply embedded in the dragon head.

Amidst crackling sparks, he applied another large number of igniting detonators.

A series of faint hissing sounds followed, and sparks danced, like the sands of an hourglass, foreshadowing an impending explosion.

With everything prepared, the mysterious masked man swiftly retreated, distancing himself from the wooden dragon.

With its chakra blocked by the black rods, the wooden behemoth, now only slightly harder than ordinary wood, is rendered powerless by the black rods' interference.

A deafening roar shook the heavens as a barrage of explosive tags detonated, instantly tearing the massive wooden dragon in half. Its remains plummeted to the ground, and the night sky fell silent once more.

"It's not too troublesome."

However, the man, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hadn't finished speaking when his face darkened.

The deafening roar of the dragons rang out again. This time, ten wooden dragons soared into the sky and swept towards him like a tsunami!

"besides?!"

"So much still!"

The masked man gritted his teeth.

He had no time to think, his hands flew into hand seals, and he slammed his fist on the ground!

Countless black runes spread out like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, a massive array appeared, with raging flames soaring into the sky, illuminating half of the night sky.

"Uchiha Flame Formation!"

Ten wooden dragons approached, followed by a deafening boom.

The group crashed into the fire array, causing ripples, but the fire array remained unbreakable, merely trembling.

The mysterious man trapped in the formation looked at the wooden dragons around him with a solemn expression.

This is ridiculous.

He was wrong, terribly wrong.

Both of the two choices Obito gave were traps!

Neither of these two is easy to deal with!

On the other side, Obito and Yuuki stood on high ground, gazing at the fiery array.

"This guy has hidden inside the defenses."

Obito assumed a slashing stance. "Yuuki, why don't you use your Dust Release: Light Sword to cut it open?"

The Dust Release Light Sword could even slice through Planetary Devastation, so the Uchiha Fire Formation was naturally no match for it.

Yuzuki shook her head slightly and smiled, "Now that I am 'Hashirama Senju,' I will naturally use Wood Release to deal with him."

Obito pointed at the fire array: "Then what brilliant plan do you have? To bombard it with Sage Mode?"

"It feels okay."

Yuzuki smiled mysteriously:

"I have my own methods."

"Oh, by the way, things might get pretty big later. Keep an eye on Konoha for me and make sure the fighting doesn't get to them, or the consequences could be dire."

Obito glanced at Yuuki with interest, nodded, and stepped aside.

Yuzuki chuckled softly, "I hope it doesn't frighten the villagers of Konoha."

With her palms pressed together, Youyue softly murmured:

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands..."

........................

Tonight, I don't know how many times the earthquake has disturbed the peace of Konoha.

The villagers were filled with curiosity and began to ponder the secrets hidden behind this sudden disturbance.

After all, it's human nature to join in the fun.

However, given the Fourth Hokage's high reputation and clear instructions, most people resisted the urge to go out and investigate.

The previous slight shaking was manageable, but the current force made it impossible to ignore.

This earthquake was extraordinary; its power was so great that even standing up became a luxury!

Their figures stood swaying precariously inside the house.

Unable to contain their anxieties in the cramped rooms, people flocked to open areas seeking refuge.

"Ryūno-kun, what are you looking at?" a villager who had just escaped from his home asked curiously.

However, when he followed Longye's gaze, he froze on the spot.

Following that line of sight.

A colossal Buddha statue, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, was slowly rising, and it was this statue that caused the intense tremor in Konoha.

This giant Buddha statue soars into the clouds, and is at least a thousand meters tall.

The moonlight tried to penetrate, but it was mercilessly blocked, and not a single ray of light could get through.

"What, what is this..."

All the villagers of Konoha who witnessed this scene were speechless with astonishment.

Unbelievably stunning!

On the Hokage Rock of Konoha, one of Minato Namikaze's clones gazed at the giant Buddha in the distance, inwardly sighing:

"This is the legendary power of the First Hokage..."

"Even when manifested through Yuuzuki's hand, its majesty is still unmatched."

The deafening roar continued incessantly, and the earth trembled violently.

However, all the noise subsided in an instant, like a movie theater suddenly pressing the mute button.

“Obito?” Minato Namikaze turned his head, his gaze fixed on the area behind him.

"Minato-sensei is truly perceptive. Even if it's just a clone, the slightest spatial fluctuations can't escape your notice."

Obito's figure appeared out of thin air, and when he removed his mask, his pair of Rinnegan eyes, emitting a faint glow, were clearly revealed.

"This is...your masterpiece?"

Minato asked in confusion, referring to the ability to instantly silence everything.

“Yes!” Obito replied with a grin. “I have temporarily severed the causal link between that True Thousand Hands and Konoha.”

"No matter what it does next, it won't bother us. Let's just watch the show."

"Causal isolation? That's an unimaginable ability."

"Haha, it's nothing special."

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, gazing out of the village.

Meanwhile, the mysterious masked man inside the Uchiha fire array showed a strange expression.

His eyes were empty and lifeless as he gazed at the enormous, thousands of hands.

At this point, he was certain that the other party was indeed Hashirama Senju.

He had heard Madara Uchiha mention this technique before; only Hashirama could wield such a powerful skill.

Madara was taught a harsh lesson by this move back then.

Clearly, the other party took his previous words seriously and treated him as an opponent of Madara Uchiha.
