Public executions started with King Adonai

"Ah, this is only natural. As the Hokage, you must step forward when encountering such a situation, just like before, just like when Tobirama-sensei said that someone was needed to cover the retreat."

"Time and again, you're always one step ahead of me, always brave enough to stand up."

"But now, it's finally time, Sarutobi."

"I have surpassed you now. In my eyes, you look old and weak."

"Well, since you want to swing your feeble stick at me now, and challenge me now that I have ascended to godhood?"

"As your old friend, and as you are special to me, I will satisfy you."

"Now, the final battle, which belongs only to you and me, begins!"

As Danzo Shimura said this, suddenly, four Root ninjas jumped out from the shadows in four places in the distance, with them as the center, and each of them had already formed a hand seal, ready to perform a certain ninjutsu in actual combat.

Obviously, this was premeditated.

Then, before everyone could react, the four ninjas who suddenly jumped out performed a ninjutsu.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!" X4.

In an instant, the barrier ninjutsu was activated, and a purple transparent flame light curtain was opened with the four ninjas as the center. They were quickly connected to each other, and finally formed a rectangular barrier covering an area almost as large as a football field.

Danzo Shimura, the Root ninjas around him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group were all sealed in the barrier.

Faced with this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his Anbu ninjas were shocked and quickly turned around in alert to face the Four Purple Flame Formation.

One of the ninjas cried out in disbelief, "Oh no! It's the Four Purple Flame Formation! They're trying to trap us inside!"

Obviously, this Four Purple Flame Formation is not ordinary. At least for these ninjas, it may be an unbreakable barrier.

Then, at the same time as the four purple flame formations were formed, Danzo Shimura quickly formed seals with his hands, and soon formed multiple seals like an honest man.

In a flash, after the seal was completed, Danzo Shimura clasped his hands together and clasped his fists together. The power in his body boiled, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Sarutobi, now, let me show you!"

"This is the power of the Ninja God!"

"Too……"

"The power of God that I possess now!!!"

"Wood Release - Tree World Arrives!!!"

As the move was roared out, powerful force was injected into Danzo Shimura's feet, and the earth shook at this moment. The next moment, accompanied by a roar, the building under everyone's feet was torn and destroyed, and then huge roots emerged, and giant trees also extended out, quickly spreading and tumbling, sweeping towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and his ninjas.

This attack tore apart and destroyed everything inside the Four Purple Flame Formation almost instantly.

Chapter 660: Hashirama: Seal? Isn't Wood Release a technique where you clasp your hands together and shout for something to happen?

The tree world is coming!

This is not an unfamiliar move in the real world.

In fact, this move has been demonstrated in previous light screen images.

It was released directly by the guardian Senju Hashirama. After use, it directly changed the terrain of a large area. The affected area was comparable to the area of a Konoha Village, forming a tree world centered on a super-large tree.

The arrival of the tree world is well deserved.

Even people who have seen the video of that move many times will be deeply shocked when they watch it.

And now, Danzo Shimura has also used it.

There is no doubt that this is extremely shocking, especially with the example of Hashirama Senju before, people naturally substituted the memory of the advent of the tree world into it.

Now, everyone should open their eyes wide and watch the power of Danzo's version of the tree world coming.

……

The light screen image showed that the tree world was boiling, and a large number of branches and trunks extended with a bang, accompanied by a tense and extremely oppressive background music. The terrifying power of wood escape formed a magical effect that changed the terrain and swept towards the other ninjas except the root ninjas.

"Ahhh~~"

"What, what is this?!"

"Wood Release! It's the Shodaime-sama's Wood Release!"

"Damn it, why does he know this trick?"

"W-What's happening to my chakra!?"

"Hehehe, uh ...

Screams, curses, and screams rang out one after another, and fear spread instantly.

Because this is the power of the legendary ninja, the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, it is a powerful ninjutsu that can pacify troubled times and ignite the fire of peace.

When this power, which had become a legend and gradually transformed into a myth with the death of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, reappeared in the world, it brought an indescribable strong shock to the Konoha ninjas.

You know, ninjas grew up listening to the legend of the first Hokage, and they have awe in their souls for the Wood Release Ninjutsu that belongs only to the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Now that he suddenly saw it with his own eyes, and it was being performed by the enemy, you can imagine how shocked he was.

In this situation, the aggressiveness of the Tree World was also revealed. The wildly growing branches, roots and even trunks of the giant trees seemed to come alive and swept towards the ninjas.

Although the speed was not slow, the scene was still completely covered by the descending tree world, and there were so many of them that several people were entangled on the spot.

In an instant, the power of the descending tree world was activated, quickly wrapping around and completely entangling these people, making it difficult for them to break free, while also madly absorbing their chakra.

A group of elite ninjas under Sarutobi Hiruzen wilted in an instant, and with a hair-raising sound of flesh and blood being squeezed, their bodies were quickly torn and squeezed, turning into a pile of indescribable flesh and blood.

The ninjas also used their own ninjutsu to fight back, and subconsciously used fire escape.

After all, when it comes to hitting wood, firepower attacks are always better.

However, those fire-style ninjutsu hit the descending tree world. Although they blocked the extending tree world for a while and even caused damage, the growth speed of the tree world was very terrifying. As soon as a part of it was destroyed, more roots would wrap around it, making all previous efforts in vain.

Soon, three more ANBU ninja were surrounded by the tree world, with no room to struggle, and faced despair as the roots quickly devoured them.

"Drink!"

A loud roar suddenly sounded, and then an old but strong figure swung a thick and long stick in his hand and smashed a large area of trees, saving several ninjas.

Seeing the person who saved them, several ninjas were all excited and said, "Sandaime-sama!"

Yes, it was the Sandaime Hokage.

As the Third Hokage, he possessed sufficient strength. Although he was shocked at first, after recovering from his shock, he immediately brandished his weapon and engaged in battle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had experienced the era of the first Hokage, knew the power of Wood Release, and he also knew what kind of ninjutsu the Tree World Advent was through various research, so he was able to deal with it relatively calmly.

Thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen's efforts, seven ninjas were finally rescued.

When the tree world's descent stopped, a huge tree was already standing within the Four Purple Flame Formation, and the ground inside, which was the size of a football field, was completely covered by roots spread everywhere.

Within the entire Four Purple Flame Formation, most of the area has been occupied by the arrival of the Tree Realm.

The huge commotion was noticed by most of Konoha even with the Four Purple Flame Formation. It was because it was night, so the panicked civilians could not see the situation here clearly, but the ninjas with a certain night vision ability could see it and showed expressions of disbelief.

There is no doubt that Konoha truly felt the shock of the small Wood Release.

Seeing his own achievements, Danzo Shimura smiled again, laughing excitedly.

"Hahahaha~~~Finally, the power of the First Hokage to pacify the troubled times and suppress the ninja world has finally reappeared in my hands, Danzo Shimura!"

"From tonight on, I am the new Ninja God of the Ninja World!"

"Sarutobi, see! This is my power! This is what I possess now!"

"This is the true will of fire!"

“Hahahahahaha~~~~~”

Laughing wildly and having a great time.

Danzo Shimura felt that he had reached a new level of sublimation.

……

In the real world, people looked at Danzo Shimura's performance and had to admit that he was really strong. He created a tree world that filled the entire Four Purple Flame Formation in an instant. He was undoubtedly a top-level strongman in the ninja world.

only……

"To be honest, it's a bit lame."

"Me too, I feel a little disappointed."

"Is this the end of the Tree World's arrival?"

"Well... I can't really say that. It's indeed quite powerful. Look at those ordinary ninjas facing this move. They have no ability to resist at all. There are many jonin among them, but the result is the same. It proves that Shimura Danzo's Tree World Advent is still quite powerful."

"But how does it compare to Hashirama Senju's Tree World Advent?"

"Um... Sorry, there's no comparison."

"That's hilarious! Hashirama Senju's tree world descended to cover an area almost the size of Konoha Village. And the tree world he constructed was extremely exaggerated, completely filling the world with the roots of the giant tree."

"In comparison, Shimura Danzo's Tree World Advent is just some tiny sapling?"

"And yet you still have the nerve to claim you've surpassed the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama?"

Yes, that's what people think.

Although Shimura Danzo is indeed very strong, compared with the strength shown by Senju Zhuma, the two sides are completely incomparable.

If Hashirama Senju took action, there would be no need to use the Four Purple Flame Formation to trap Sarutobi Hiruzen. He could just raise his hand and a tree world would descend, and the entire Konoha would instantly become a battlefield that met Danzo Shimura's requirements.

The gap between the two is so huge that it cannot be compared, just like the gap between an adult and a trumpet.

Just like this, Shimura Danzo still has the face to say something beyond Senju Hashirama?

I'm afraid I don't want to fart.

Then, amidst all the complaints, someone noticed another thing and brought it up.

"Speaking of which, it's not just about power. Did you notice that when Shimura Danzo used the Tree World Advent, he connected multiple hand seals at once? Although the seals were formed very quickly, they were indeed formed."

"Uh, what's the problem? It's normal to use hand seals in ninjutsu, right?"

"It's normal for other ninjas, but it's not normal for Wood Release Ninjutsu."

"why?"

"Oh, I remember now. When Senju Hashirama used Wood Release Ninjutsu, he just clasped his hands together and shouted whatever he wanted."

"Yes, yes, I remember now. At that time, I thought this was just the seal method of Wood Release. Now looking at Shimura Danzo's performance, it's not the case at all."

"So, when Hashirama Senju uses ninjutsu, he doesn't even use hand seals. He just shouts and it happens."

"Wow! Really wow! Is this the power of the Ninja God? He really has a firm grasp of ninjutsu."

There is no doubt that Hashirama Senju's strength was highlighted, and the strength of Danzo Shimura was used to highlight the strength of the first Hokage of Konoha.

In terms of strength, Hashirama Senju may be the ceiling of the ninja world.

Of course, some people have raised objections, that is, Hashirama Senju was a guardian and a heroic spirit that surpassed humans.

It is natural for a person like Hashirama Senju to be powerful, and this cannot be discussed within the normal scope.

Perhaps the strength of Hashirama Senju during his lifetime was the same as the strength displayed by Danzo Shimura now, or even perhaps even inferior to Danzo Shimura now.

……

Looking at the images on the light screen, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not aware of the discussions people were having in the real world about the power and methods of Wood Release Ninjutsu. Facing the coming of the Tree World, he was filled with shock.

When the growth of the tree world ended and he and his ninjas were temporarily safe, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Wood Release, you actually completed Wood Release!? Danzo, what on earth did you do?"

Shimura Danzo smiled happily upon hearing this: "What did you do? Is there even a need to ask, Sarutobi?"

"Back then, due to the deaths of the First and Second Hokage, Tobirama-sensei, the Ninja World War left us devastated. Therefore, you, me, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu came together to initiate research on the First Hokage's Wood Release technique, hoping to recreate its power."

"You agreed to this experiment, and now you're asking me what I did. Isn't that ridiculous, Sarutobi?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly, "Yes, I did agree to that plan and allowed you to do your best to study the secrets of Hashirama's cells."

"However, this experiment is too dangerous. The cells of the first generation are extremely corrosive. Other ninjas simply cannot withstand it. Even the people of the Senju clan cannot withstand it, and it has caused a large number of casualties."

"So, I stopped the experiment at that time, and the research on Hashirama's cells was declared a failure."

"But now, you have mastered the power of Hashirama's cells and the secret of Wood Release."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shimura Danzo's pale and strange right arm and said, "You lost your right arm in the Ninja World War. You should have no right arm at all. So, is this white arm the result of Hashirama's cell research?"
