Chapter 126

Seeing Jigen's appearance,

Everyone in the livestream couldn't help but suck in a cold breath!!

【Jiraiya: What a joke… taking a punch like that and only suffering minor injuries… if that punch had landed on Konoha, the entire Konoha would probably be gone…!】

【Orochimaru: It seems things really are no different from what we discussed… this monk, he's far more powerful than we imagined!】

【Tsunade: I thought that after taking a punch like that from Grandfather, even if he didn't die on the spot, he would at least lose his combat ability for a short time…】

【Hashirama Senju: That punch just now—even if I had taken it, I'm afraid I would have lost my combat ability on the spot… that punch is far more terrifying than any Tailed Beast Bomb!!】

【Madara Uchiha: No matter how powerful the enemy is!! I believe Hashirama won't lose to anyone!! The only one who can defeat Hashirama is me!!】

【Shimura Danzo: Orochimaru, did you pick up any clues? This monk—his body is so powerful, does he have some special Kekkei Genkai? I thought it over, combed through everything in my mind, but it doesn't match any Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world…】

【Orochimaru: I've never seen a body more terrifying than a Tailed Beast's… could this be some Kekkei Genkai that was never recorded?!】

【Might Guy: A battle of this level!! I even want to open the Gate of Death and join in!! Only a battle like this can make my blood boil completely!! Youth should burn so recklessly!!】

【Rock Lee: …Guy-sensei, in a battle like that just now, if you opened the Eight Gates, could you join in?!】

【Might Guy: Uh… I could join in, but probably not for long. I could also unleash attacks like that, but my body can't sustain it for too long… the burden on the body is just too great!】

【Madara Uchiha: What a remarkable junior!! Konoha actually has such a powerful taijutsu ninja? If that's truly the case, I, Madara Uchiha, would call you the strongest!!】

……

"Brat!! You've really enraged me!!"

"You have no idea what kind of existence you've angered!!"

"I'll make you understand what true fear is!!!"

Jigen looked at his clothes stained with fresh blood,

A deep fury appeared on his face!!

This was the first time in so long he had been in such a sorry state!!

He simply could not accept this!!

To think he had been pushed to this extent by a mere native!!

At the same time,

He was also deeply shocked!!

On Hashirama Senju before his eyes,

The ability he had used,

Was completely not the so-called chakra system of this world!!

But rather another system he didn't know, had never practiced,

And didn't understand well!!

When the strong duel,

Victory and defeat often hinge on a single instant,

When they had just clashed,

He knew clearly in his heart,

He had indeed lost to the human before him in taijutsu!!

This native,

Whether in technique or in combat awareness,

Far surpassed him!!

The only thing about him that was stronger,

Was merely his body's durability!!

And not by much, at that!!

He only had a slight edge over Hashirama Senju in body durability,

But the life energy within Hashirama Senju's body was terrifyingly fearsome!!

79. This boy will surely become a fatal threat to the Ōtsutsuki clan in the future!!

Sure enough…

Jigen's gaze hardened slightly,

In his eyes,

At this moment, Hashirama Senju's

The slight injury on his right hand also healed at once!!

What terrifying regenerative ability!!

Jigen believed,

Even he himself could not reach this level!!

"Is that so…"

"Then I hope… you can let me experience what it feels like to fail…"

"If you can truly defeat me like this, then so much the better!!"

Hashirama Senju clutched his own forehead,

A wild look also flashed in his eyes!!

At this moment,

He had also lost a measure of his reason!!

This was, from his childhood until now,

For so long,

For the first time, he could fight a person to this extent!!

No one else had ever made him feel this way!!

Even Madara Uchiha had never forced him to strike with everything he had!!

And just now,

none of his attacks had held back in the slightest!!

Every strike was thrown with the intent to kill,

yet,

Isshiki had only suffered a few light injuries.

This guy before him,

he could really make him fight at full strength!!

【Tobirama Senju: I feel... this seems like I'm seeing a familiar shadow... has he been body-snatched by Madara Uchiha?】

【Jiraiya: Sigh... I totally get what the First Hokage is feeling... how lonely it is to be invincible, I often feel this way too — in this vast shinobi world, there isn't a single person who can match this great me in looks and bearing!!】

【Hashirama Senju: Third Hokage... is this a disciple you took in? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with his head...】

【Tsunade: Jiraiya, shut up already! It's too embarrassing!!】

【Madara Uchiha: Dammit!! I thought even if Hashirama hadn't gone all-out, the gap shouldn't be that big... so you're saying that other me was never truly treated as a real opponent!】

……

"……"

"I hope you can still say the same thing in a moment, 'four-seven-three'!!"

Isshiki felt, for the first time, this angry!!

He had actually been looked down on?!

He had always believed he was the hunter,

but the Hashirama Senju before him

seemed to regard him as the prey!!

"Next, I'll let you see my true form!!"

Isshiki drew a light breath.

Immediately after,

strange black markings began to appear on his forehead,

and before long,

the black markings had spread all over his entire body.
