Chapter 179

It had already been destroyed by a quarter of its volume!!

But Hashirama Senju,

the faster you destroy his body,

the faster his body recovers!!

After attacking him for so long,

Hashirama Senju's aura showed not the slightest weakening,

if this continues,

I'm afraid my own body will break down first and be worn down to death by him!!

And Hashirama Senju himself now had a crystal-clear gaze,

although Otsutsuki Aoi's attacks had seemed extremely fierce,

in reality they had posed no real threat to him,

the speed at which he destroyed his own body

was even slower than the speed of his own healing!!

On the contrary,

amid Otsutsuki Aoi's relentless attacks,

he had actually learned many of his taijutsu secrets!!

"I say… you guy…"

"You've been hitting me for this long."

"Isn't it time to take a break? Should it be my turn now?"

Amid constant shattering and healing of his body,

Hashirama Senju's expression remained utterly unchanged,

as if the one being destroyed was not himself.

Upon hearing this,

Otsutsuki Aoi's expression changed drastically!!

He felt deeply humiliated,

his attacks seemed to have no effect whatsoever on Hashirama Senju,

like merely scratching him.

How could Otsutsuki Aoi endure this?!

"Boom!!"

Hashirama Senju also slammed a punch straight into Otsutsuki Aoi's fist.

Seeing this,

Otsutsuki Aoi widened his eyes,

staring in disbelief at Hashirama Senju's fist!!

Had Hashirama Senju matched his attack rhythm??

And from Hashirama Senju's punch,

there was even a familiar flavor to it,

it seemed to mimic his own punching pattern??

Otsutsuki Aoi was utterly stunned!!

Is this guy's talent so terrifying?

During his battle with you,

he actually stole your techniques?

And integrated them perfectly into his own attack rhythm!!

Otsutsuki Aoi had thought he himself was the true prodigy, the monster!!

But seeing Hashirama Senju now,

he finally understood what a true prodigy and monster really meant!!

This talent was simply terrifying!!

…

Seeing Hashirama Senju counterattack

and seemingly steal Otsutsuki Aoi's techniques,

the livestream audience all gasped in shock!!

Is this the innate talent of the God of Shinobi?!

It gave everyone a clear understanding of what true genius meant!!

【Might Guy: I never expected, the First Hokage had learned the enemy's attack pattern after just watching for a moment… But what terrified me most wasn't even that—he integrated it into his own techniques so quickly!!】

【Fourth Raikage: This taijutsu duel is the pinnacle of excellence!! Even more thrilling than his last battle with that mysterious monk!! This is the kind of fight that truly stirs the blood! A real man fights with fists and kicks like this!】

【Tobirama Senju: This must be the real reason my brother has been passively taking hits—he knew from the start the enemy couldn't truly threaten him, so he held back only to learn the opponent's techniques!】

【Madara Uchiha: Given Hashirama's terrifying recovery ability now, unless you completely obliterate his cells, it's nearly impossible to truly kill him. The enemy's destruction speed is probably less than half his healing speed!!】

【Tsunade: Judging by Grandpa's current body, each of his cells may contain more life energy than many of us combined…】

…

With his right hand, Hashirama Senju gripped Otsutsuki Aoi's wrist tightly,

and Hashirama Senju curled his right leg,

His knee slammed hard into Ōtsutsuki Aoshi's lower abdomen,

Ōtsutsuki Aoshi's body bent sharply forward,

curling up like a shrimp!!!

"Waaagh—"

Ōtsutsuki Aoshi felt a piercing pain surge through him,

unable to hold it back,

a mouthful of reverse-blood spurted straight out.

Only now did Ōtsutsuki Aoshi realize,

Hashirama Senju had wanted to learn his techniques from the very start,

which was why he hadn't made a move.

And the moment he did strike,

it brought a lethal threat crashing down on him!!

"Whoosh—"

Ōtsutsuki Aoshi's body was kicked viciously up into the sky,

the air on the moon let out bursts of explosive booms!!

The friction between Ōtsutsuki Aoshi's body and the air even produced thin threads of sparks!!

At this moment, he

looked just like a massive burning fireball!!

And Hashirama Senju's eyes widened,

the crimson pinwheel transformed once more into rings of purple ripples.

He spread his right hand open,

and snatched at Ōtsutsuki Aoshi high in the sky,

Ōtsutsuki Aoshi's body suddenly hurtled back toward him!!

When he had caught his body mid-air,

Hashirama Senju's body bent slightly,

his legs like coiled springs,

his body launched itself like a cannonball,

vanishing on the spot in an instant!!
