Chapter 124

At the very instant the two of them first met,

both of them had this premonition in their hearts,

that the other's existence would likely affect their own plans!!

……

Amid this silent confrontation,

the hearts of everyone in the livestream were lifted!!

It was the first time they had ever seen

Hashirama Senju in the black screen treat an enemy with such solemnity and seriousness!!

Even when facing the sages of the Three Great Holy Lands before,

Hashirama Senju had never shown such a stance!!

"Boom!!!"

In an instant,

Jigen's body moved!!

His body shot up like a cannonball!!!

A white blast of air formed beneath his feet!!

The patch of ground beneath his feet crumbled bit by bit into powder!!

Hashirama Senju's eyes narrowed slightly!!

What a terrifying body!!

He judged at once,

that the Jigen before him had used no technique at all!!

That strike just now

was solely because his own physical body was extraordinarily powerful,

which was why it produced such a terrifying sight!!

Even Hashirama Senju himself had to admit,

his body was far inferior to the Jigen before him!!

Although Hashirama Senju's physical strength was not weak,

he only emphasized the aspect of life energy!!

And the Jigen before him,

he was the pinnacle of physical might!!

Hashirama Senju clearly noticed,

the moment Jigen launched himself,

the air around him was compressed and collapsed!!

Taking a deep breath,

Hashirama Senju's body surface also began to be covered in golden flames of aura!!

For Hashirama Senju,

although he admitted his physical strength was inferior to Jigen's at this moment,

he had his own means to enhance his physical strength!!

Natural energy could not only be used to amplify the power of ninjutsu,

it could likewise be applied to one's own body!!

【Fourth Raikage: Indeed!! I knew it, I didn't guess wrong!! This kind of energy, besides being applied to ninjutsu, can also be used on one's own body to develop even stronger taijutsu!!】

【Jiraiya: Terrifying… I can't imagine, applying natural energy to the body—what kind of terrifying physical constitution would that require…】

【Minato Namikaze: I'm afraid that in the shinobi world, only the First Hokage, my lord, could achieve this…】

【Hashirama Senju: I originally thought my senjutsu training was powerful enough… but after comparing myself to my other self, I realized I still fall far too short…】

Jigen's heart could not help but tremble!!!

From Hashirama Senju's body opposite him,

he sensed an extremely familiar, and also extremely powerful, energy!!

And this kind of power,

he had once felt it as well

on the host body he himself was possessing!!

But the energy on his own host body

simply could not be compared at all to the energy on the Hashirama Senju before him!!

Although the energy on his host body before was very wondrous and powerful,

it could not be used or sustained for long!!

Compared to the energy on Hashirama Senju's body,

it was like the gap between a droplet of water and the vast ocean!!

Thinking of this, Jigen

could not help but feel boundless killing intent rise in his heart!!

His premonition was indeed correct,

the Hashirama Senju before him was certain to become a tremendous threat to his future plans!!!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"

Jigen viciously kicked Hashirama Senju in the right arm!!

The white and golden auras collided,

And in an instant, the clouds in the sky were violently blasted apart, leaving a huge hole!!!!

A terrifyingly fearsome explosion rang out!!!

All the trees around them were ripped from the ground,

And ground bit by bit into fine powder!!

In an instant,

The heavens crumbled and the earth split apart!!!

The insects in the air, the birds in flight…

All dropped to the ground in unison, like raindrops!!!

With just a single punch and a single kick,

Every wild beast and tree around them,

Was utterly and completely destroyed by the two of them!!

……

The people in the livestream who saw this scene,

Their eyeballs were about to fall out!!

【Fourth Raikage: ……This……is this something a human can do??? Just with that one punch, even a Tailed Beast isn't this terrifying!!】

【Jiraiya: The First Hokage's senjutsu has actually reached this level — a casual punch carries the destructive force of a natural disaster!!】

【Tsunade: No!! Jiraiya…Grandfather alone probably couldn't have done this. The reason there's so much destructive power is that the monk Jigen beside him should also have played a considerable role!!】

【Ōnoki: I'm now deeply worried — can the Hidden Stone Village of the other world still appear? I only hope they don't overestimate themselves and become enemies of the First Hokage…】

【Rasa: I finally understand now why Shukaku was so obedient in front of the First Hokage…】

……

They exchanged a glance,

And Hashirama Senju and Jigen both saw the shock in each other's eyes!!

Both of them were shocked that the other's body was actually this powerful!!

Jigen had thought he had already estimated Hashirama Senju's strength highly enough,

But he never could have imagined,

That Hashirama Senju's physical strength could actually match his own!!

This was actually something the natives of this planet could achieve!!!

Hashirama Senju himself knew just how powerful his own body was,
