Chapter 209

How could he possibly possess the Rinnegan?

"I came all the way to the Fire Temple this time specifically to seal you."

"Nine-Tails! Your power is far too great."

"Whether it's being exploited by others with ulterior motives, or you losing control."

"Either outcome is unacceptable to me. Once things come to that, it will surely cause enormous losses to the entire Land of Fire!"

"So I will absolutely not allow such an outcome to happen!!"

Hashirama Senju said to Nine-Tails with an utterly serious expression.

And after Nine-Tails heard Hashirama Senju say this,

it nearly had its nose crooked with rage!!

It clearly had never provoked anyone.

Although it did not like humans,

it had also never taken the initiative to attack humans.

It had always been living out in the wild,

when suddenly one day a group of incomprehensible people arrived,

claiming it was an evil existence.

So they sealed it away,

and after much difficulty it broke free of the seal,

and now Hashirama Senju wanted to lock it up again!!

Hashirama Senju looked at the snarling Nine-Tails, his heart utterly undisturbed!

He knew Nine-Tails had hardly ever taken the initiative to attack humans,

most of the time it was humans coveting its power,

and so wanting to bring it under control!

But for Hashirama Senju,

this was not important!

Although he did not much fear Nine-Tails' power,

the other people of the Land of Fire were not all like him,

once Nine-Tails was controlled by people from other countries,

and used to attack the Land of Fire,

it would surely cause tremendous destruction!!

So Hashirama Senju could not possibly allow Nine-Tails' power to be exploited by others,

he could only strike first,

and bring Nine-Tails under control!!

"Despicable humans!"

"After all that talk, isn't it still just coveting the power on my body!!"

"I want to discuss this properly with you, each of us takes a step back, and from then on the seas are wide and the skies vast…"

"Since you don't agree, then go to hell!!!"

Thinking of the humiliations it had suffered over the years,

Nine-Tails' beast pupils instantly turned a sheet of blood-red!!

In any case, it was an undying existence,

at worst it would perish together with the man before it!!

But no matter what, it was unwilling to be sealed away again!

"Continuous Tailed Beast Balls!!!"

Countless densely packed massive chakra spheres gathered at Nine-Tails' mouth,

this kind of technique,

even it felt somewhat strained to use!!

Although its chakra was said to be inexhaustible,

it was not truly inexhaustible,

it was only because compared to other ninja and Tailed Beasts,

its chakra volume appeared far too vast.

And to rush out so many Tailed Beast Balls in one breath,

even for Nine-Tails it was the first time.

But at this moment it could no longer care about so much,

it swore,

no matter what price it had to pay,

it would definitely let this man know how fearsome it was!!!

"Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!"

Like raindrops, the Tailed Beast Balls,

densely packed, shot from the sky toward Hashirama Senju's direction!!

Any single Tailed Beast Ball within them,

once it landed anywhere behind Hashirama Senju,

It can cause massive casualties!!

Seeing this rain of lasers,

Hashirama Senju couldn't help but frown,

and said in a low voice.

"It seems my suspicions were correct—your power is too strong."

"If you were used as a weapon of war, few nations could withstand your assault!!"

Although Hashirama Senju was confident,

given his current lifespan,

he could even outlive the Three Sages.

But he could not be present in the Land of Fire at all times,

and if he were ever absent from the Land of Fire,

the enemy could seize control of the Nine-Tails,

using its power to attack the Land of Fire.

No one except him and Madara Uchiha could subdue this Tailed Beast!!

【Jiraiya: No matter how many times I see the Nine-Tails' power, it still terrifies me… Tailed Beasts and ordinary humans are not even the same level of beings!!】

【Orochimaru: If one could obtain the power and lifespan of a Tailed Beast without being a jinchuriki, that would truly be desirable…】

【Tsunade: In some ways, even the Three Sages cannot match the power of a Tailed Beast—they lack such terrifying destructive force.】

【Tobirama Senju: Hmm… If we could capture all nine Tailed Beasts and keep them within the Land of Fire, no other nation would ever stand a chance against it!】

【Minato Namikaze: If I hadn't paid the price of my life back then, I doubt I could have sealed the Nine-Tails.】

【Kakashi Hatake: Uh… yes, my lord, someone has already implemented your idea… First Hokage collected all nine Tailed Beasts, but he distributed the others—except the Nine-Tails—to other nations…】

【Tobirama Senju: What?! You mean my foolish older brother actually gave away the Tailed Beasts to other nations?】

【Hashirama Senju: Hahaha! Tobirama, that's not foolish at all—I did intend to capture all the other Tailed Beasts. Their power is simply too terrifying! By distributing them among other nations, I can maintain a balance of power, and isn't that how peace is achieved?】

【Madara Uchiha: Giving away the other Tailed Beasts to other nations… now that does sound like Hashirama's style…】

【Orochimaru: Heh… First Hokage, distributing those Tailed Beasts to other nations didn't sustain peace for long—after your death, the ninja world erupted in three consecutive wars!!】

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Thousand Hands!!!"

Instantly,

a colossal wooden Buddha with a thousand arms appeared behind Hashirama Senju!!!

Thinking for a moment,
