Chapter 21

He had actually already become this powerful!!!!

And after young Hashirama saw the doubt in everyone's eyes,

he didn't say anything more,

he was only seen walking lightly up onto the stage,

and unleashing Wood Release.

Looking at the sky-obscuring,

enormous wooden dragon whose body was taller than the houses beside it by more than several times,

the clansmen of the Senju clan,

gaped their mouths open, not knowing what to say.

This is the legendary Wood Release?!!!

Many of them had only seen Wood Release in the clan's records,

but had never in the real world seen a person unleash Wood Release ninjutsu!!

Staring at the ferocious face of the wooden dragon and the powerful pressure emanating from its body,

there was no longer any doubt in anyone's heart!!!!

This suffocating feeling,

they had never even felt it on Tobirama Senju!!!

They understood,

this youth before them.

His strength had long since surpassed anyone in the Senju clan.

Perhaps he was already the strongest of the Senju clan!!!

Seeing that young Hashirama did not continue to make a move,

only then did Tobirama Senju heave a sigh of relief in his heart.

The things young Hashirama had done these past few days had already made him somewhat afraid,

he was afraid that young Hashirama, in a fit of displeasure,

would directly use Wood Release on all the clansmen below the stage!!!

If it were like this,

then the Senju clan probably would have no place for young Hashirama either.

Looking at the calm expression on young Hashirama's face and the wooden dragon created by the surrounding Wood Release.

A complex look appeared on Tobirama Senju's face.

After so many years, it was as if he was truly getting to know his own son for the first time.

He had originally thought,

that among all his sons,

Hashirama's temperament was the mildest, and also the easiest to talk to.

But looking at it now, this was merely his own idea.

Hashirama had hidden too deeply, deceiving everyone around him!!!!

Even he, as a father, had not seen through young Hashirama's true face!!!

But Tobirama Senju did not dislike his son looking like this now,

compared to the previous timid and submissive Hashirama,

he much preferred this current, domineering Hashirama!!!!

Although the previous Hashirama,

sometimes when he got serious also possessed extremely strong drive.

But in most cases he was still overly mild.

Tobirama Senju did not like this mild Hashirama.

In this chaotic era, only a powerful and calm ninja could better survive!!!!

Some of the ideas young Hashirama had shown before,

were too idealistic.

Probably only he himself could accept them.

But now knowing that this was merely his son's disguise,

Tobirama Senju was not angry, but instead felt very gratified,

only then was he a qualified clan leader!!!

【Tobirama Senju: Big brother... why don't you seriously consider my suggestion just now, you and the you on the screen swap identities... I feel like he seems much more popular than you.】

【Madara Uchiha: I agree with Tobirama's statement.】

【Hashirama Senju: You two guys, for the first time ever standing on the same side, and it's just to target me???!】

The Senju clan's change of clan leader,

was merely a small disturbance.

For most members of the Senju clan, there wasn't too great an impact.

And young Hashirama at this time also began his new phase.

He believed that his immediate priority was, at any cost,

to raise his own strength in the shortest time!!!

Only this way,

Only then would he be able to possess the capital to change the entire world as quickly as possible!!!

Without strength,

Any ideal is nothing more than a castle in the air,

With no possibility of being realized.

"Speaking of which… my ancestors did give me some inspiration."

"On the path of Wood Release, I have basically reached the end."

"But it seems there are other methods that can make me even stronger."

"From childhood to adulthood, my physical constitution and recovery ability seem to be more pronounced than that of an ordinary member of the Senju clan."

"Can I think of more ways on this path?"

"I remember… the ancestors seemed to have a form… called Sage Body?"

As young Hashirama muttered to himself.

One could see the visible tremor in the air around him.

What followed was a change in his appearance.

Black stripes appeared around the corners of his eyes,

His forehead also became something like a black bullseye,

The outer ring of his pupils turned yellow.

20. Without the Three Great Sage Lands, one could enter Sage Mode on one's own?!

Looking at young Hashirama's appearance on the screen,

Everyone noticed the differences between him and before.

But only a few people could tell what this meant!!!

【Naruto Uzumaki: Eh… pervy sage, why does the First Uncle look so similar to you… but… it seems like there are some differences…】

【Jiraiya: Idiot!!! Show a little more respect to Lord First… Hmm… this mode, it looks like Sage Mode… but, it seems a little different, I don't see Lord First's summoning beast…】

【Tobirama Senju: Big brother… I remember you barely mastered the Sage state when you were almost eighteen, right… how old is this you on the screen…】

【Hashirama Senju: Hahaha, Tobirama, you remember that quite clearly… I did indeed only master this ninjutsu when I was eighteen; before that, I kept trying, but I failed every time!!!】

【Orochimaru: So this is the talent and potential of the God of Ninja… without relying on the Three Great Sage Lands, without the help of the Three Great Sages, one can enter Sage Mode by oneself… truly enviable, a pity I cannot learn it…】

【Minato Namikaze: So this is Lord First's talent…!! The strong ones of the Warring States era are truly terrifying!! I once prided myself on my own talent, but compared to Lord First, I really fall far short!!!】

However,

Young Hashirama's state did not seem to last long.

He immediately returned to his normal appearance.
