Chapter 164

They are weak, utterly unworthy of comparison to my lineage on the moon—noble!!

But after fighting Hashirama Senju,

all his confidence was shattered!!

He could not accept that before Hashirama Senju, he was like a lamb awaiting slaughter,

utterly powerless to resist!!

From the very first moment of their clash,

he had unleashed his full strength,

yet it had no effect whatsoever before Hashirama Senju.

And now,

Hashirama Senju had even unleashed the legendary Rinnegan.

This was the eye of the Sage of Six Paths,

the eye of the elder brother of their ancestor, Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

For these eyes of the sage,

Ōtsutsuki Shilong could not help but feel awe!!

……

The Land of Rain, the Akatsuki.

After seeing Hashirama Senju unleash the power of the Rinnegan on screen,

Nagato could not help but clench his fists!!

He could not believe that within such a short time after obtaining the Rinnegan,

Hashirama Senju could use its power so effortlessly!!

This… was too terrifying.

When he first obtained the Rinnegan,

aside from that one time during a life-or-death crisis,

when he unintentionally unlocked his latent potential and activated the Rinnegan,

he had practiced for years,

before he could barely summon its power!!

Yet Hashirama Senju, after obtaining the Rinnegan,

had never been seen practicing at all,

yet he could immediately use the Rinnegan's power!!

What kind of terrifying talent was this?

And yet…

Nagato was deeply concerned,

that with Hashirama Senju now openly using the Rinnegan's power,

would the rest of the ninja world now know its abilities?

Nagato suddenly felt a flicker of doubt about whether he could still successfully carry out his plan.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles without loss.

He trusted his own strength

not only because the Rinnegan's innate power was immense,

but because no one else knew the true nature of his Rinnegan.

But now, with Hashirama Senju's use of it,

might others gradually come to understand the Rinnegan's characteristics?

If this continues,

could he still carry out his plan smoothly,

remaining invincible?

……

【Jiraiya: That happened too fast—did you all see what just occurred? Why did the First Hokage instantly repel the enemy??】

【Orochimaru: Perhaps that is the power of the Rinnegan. I didn't see clearly either—before the enemy even neared the First Hokage, he seemed to have been flung away by some indescribable force…】

【Raikage: Is this the true extent of the First Hokage's talent? He never used this eye before, yet the moment he first used it, he immediately understood its power!!】

【Madara Uchiha: I shall see whether this so-called Sage's eye is truly stronger than the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.】

【Tsunade: If the same progression holds, doesn't this mean Grandfather and Madara Uchiha could both awaken the Rinnegan?? All they need do is transplant each other's cells.】

【Tobirama Senju: Tsunade… it's not that simple. The human body is the most mysterious treasure in the world; one misstep and you'll be reduced to shattered bones… The Senju and Uchiha bloodlines are both extremely fierce. For them to merge without conflict is already a miracle—how could they coexist peacefully?】

【Orochimaru: Heh… Tsunade, do you think no one in this ninja world has ever tried what you just said? They all failed—without exception.】

【Danzo Shimura: My earlier hypothesis was correct—the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines are the two strongest. If they could merge, they might even evolve, giving rise to the Sage of Six Paths' bloodline!!】

【Kumogakure no Mei: Dammit!! If not for the Land of Water's previous policies, we'd have many bloodline limit ninja now!!】

Ōtsutsuki Shilong cast a deep glance at Hashirama Senju.

The power of this enemy in the ninja world far exceeded his expectations!!

He now even felt regret,

why had he descended from the Tenseigan to personally attack Hashirama Senju?

Why not simply activate the Tenseigan's power from afar and kill Hashirama Senju?

Although Hashirama Senju's strength was great,

But Ōtsutsuki Shiroryū also didn't think he could withstand the power of this giant Tenseigan.

After all, this giant Tenseigan had gathered the bloodlines of countless Ōtsutsuki clan members on their moon,

converging the power of all clansmen.

And standing opposite him, Hashirama Senju saw Ōtsutsuki Shiroryū's eyes constantly darting about,

and knew what he was thinking.

Hashirama Senju gave a quiet smile — he naturally could not give Ōtsutsuki Shiroryū such an opening.

Regarding the energy of the giant Tenseigan,

Hashirama Senju also felt his heart pound with dread,

and if he were struck by the energy on this giant boulder,

he didn't know what would happen, but the result was surely not going to be good.

So he definitely would not give Ōtsutsuki Shiroryū the chance to strike,

if Ōtsutsuki Shiroryū had just chosen to use the giant Tenseigan to attack him directly,

then he wouldn't be standing here stupidly taking a beating!!

And standing off to the side, Hyūga Kazuki saw Hashirama Senju's Rinnegan,

and she couldn't help but start breathing rapidly!!

It was actually the legendary eyes possessed by the Sage of Six Paths!!

Hashirama Senju actually possessed the Rinnegan?!

If this news spread,

who knew how many people in the shinobi world would have their eyeballs pop out in shock!?

This man...

What on earth was his background?!

Hyūga Kazuki stood behind Hashirama Senju,

her beautiful eyes repeatedly sweeping over him,

her mind wandering through all sorts of thoughts.

She believed herself not to be a boy-crazy fool!!

But after coming into contact with Hashirama Senju,

she found herself increasingly drawn to the man before her,

the secrets on him were simply too many,

there was a desire that made one want to keep exploring him!!
