Chapter 240

But he was missing a certain ruthlessness,

this fellow cared too much about his own life and safety,

he had no courage to stake everything on a single throw,

and this left Jigen lacking the essential foundation a true powerhouse needed!!

In a narrow path, the brave one wins!!

In Hashirama Senju's eyes,

even if he himself was weaker than Jigen in strength,

if the two of them fought a true life-and-death decisive battle,

the one who won would definitely be himself!!

This was the truth Hashirama Senju had arrived at through countless life-and-death struggles.

He was not born this powerful either,

he had only reached where he was today through step-by-step cultivation of his own.

When his strength was still weak,

he had already encountered many people whose strength far surpassed his own,

but in the end the results proved it was still he who claimed the final victory!!

"What a pity… if he didn't have so many reservations, he might have been a decent opponent."

Hashirama Senju still deeply regretted Jigen's strength.

He clearly possessed many strange and bizarre abilities,

and was also extremely proficient in taijutsu,

his combat awareness also far surpassed the vast majority of people he had ever seen,

but Jigen simply could not let loose and fight him with everything he had!!

"Hashi… Hashirama-sama, has the enemy been defeated by you?"

Kojirou cautiously led Kagura out from the palace gate in the distance.

At this moment, both he and Kagura still wore expressions of terror on their faces,

the shock Hashirama Senju and Jigen's battle had dealt them was simply too great!!

If Hashirama Senju and that enemy from earlier had unleashed their full power against their Land of Ghosts,

wouldn't the Land of Ghosts have been utterly destroyed by those two alone?!

Any single one of those two people,

relying on themselves alone, possessed the ability to decide the very survival or destruction of the entire Land of Ghosts!!

This gave Kojirou and Kagura a deeper understanding of just how far an individual's power could reach.

They gained a deeper level of cognition on this point.

"Defeating him is hardly the word for it."

"I can't do anything to him, and he can't do anything to me either."

"That fellow was unwilling to go all out and fight me to the death, so seeing he couldn't do anything to me in the short term, he left."

Hashirama Senju shook his head, denying Kojirou's claim.

Hearing that even Hashirama Senju had no way to deal with this enemy,

Kojirou's heart grew even more uneasy,

this enemy—

was his strength really that terrifying?

For Kojirou,

both Hashirama Senju and Jigen were powerful existences extremely far removed from him.

He also didn't know exactly what level those two people's strength had reached.

But a demon like Enra,

in Hashirama Senju's hands could be destroyed with a snap of the fingers.

And now suddenly an enemy even more terrifying than Enra had appeared,

how could Kojirou possibly feel at ease?

Seeing the worry on Kojirou's face,

Hashirama Senju also knew what he was worrying about,

he turned his head and comforted him.

"Don't worry, this time the enemy came for me."

"And given his pride, he would certainly look down on attacking you."

"If you encounter him again in the future, just avoid him."

Judging from Jigen's behavior and bearing,

Hashirama Senju knew his heart was that of an extremely arrogant person,

and how could someone so extremely arrogant in their heart

possibly attack ordinary people like Kojirou and the others!!

From the very start when Jigen opened his mouth and demanded Enra from him,

Hashirama Senju knew he had come for him!!

And after hearing Hashirama Senju say this,

only then did Kojirou and Kagura set their hearts at ease.

The existence of a single demon, the Wangliang, had plagued the entire Land of Demons, from top to bottom, for thousands of years,

and suddenly an enemy far more terrifying than the Wangliang appeared,

they could not imagine how they could possibly face it!!

Kagura and Kojiro exchanged a glance,

each secretly resolving themselves.

After this incident,

they should change the Land of Demons' previous policy,

no longer sealing off the country as before,

shutting the entire Land of Demons away!!

This world is truly far too vast,

【Jiraiya: It seems Lord First's appearance has completely changed the entire situation of the Land of Demons.】

【Orochimaru: It's quite normal for ninja from these small countries to have such thoughts — after all, they've never seen what true strength looks like!】

【Madara Uchiha: Samurai are already an obsolete product of the old era — and yet there are still people clinging to old-era things.】

【Tobirama Senju: If not for Big Brother's appearance, who knows how many years their system would have continued.】

【Shimura Danzo: Judging by their situation, if the Land of Demons had always carried out this policy, even without the existence of the demon Wangliang, they would sooner or later have been annexed by other countries!】

【Fourth Raikage: The backward get beaten — this principle applies to any existence; if they go on like this, it definitely won't work.】

【Onooki: But their country doesn't really have anything worth coveting. Even the barren Land of Wind at least has rare commodities like sand gold!】

……

The scene shifted,

the black screen gradually faded out.

The white screen gradually began to play.

Although their own world had records of Hashirama Senju's affairs,

all of them also knew the general course of events,

the specific details, however, were unclear to them!!

They also wanted to know

how the God of Shinobi of that time had pacified the Warring States period,

and ushered in the subsequent era of ninja villages!!

Moreover, historical records are often not necessarily accurate,

so they were still very interested in the true history of their own world!!
