Chapter 249

At best, his strength is about on par with one of them!

Now with the four joining forces,

Hashirama Senju has no room to resist!.

121. Tailed Beasts? They're just powerful wild beasts!

Watching the confidence of their own First Kage on the screen,

the Fourth Raikage, Onoki, Terumi Mei, and Rasa — the four Kage — all fell silent.

The more arrogant they are now,

the more miserable they will be when the time comes!!

They all knew

just how powerful Hashirama Senju was,

and although these four First Kage were no weaklings,

in fact considerably stronger than the rest of them,

the four of them also knew

that compared to Hashirama Senju,

there was still a world of difference.

Thinking that before long

their own First Kage would likely be beaten badly by Hashirama Senju,

the few of them all felt their faces flush!!

……

"What 'number one in the shinobi world'? I bet that's just empty boasting."

"If I ran into him, I'd teach him a proper lesson!"

Tsuki also agreed to the daimyo's proposal,

that they couldn't decide a victor in a short time anyway,

so for now they'd stop fighting,

and after thoroughly defeating Hashirama Senju,

they would discuss how to divide the Land of Fire.

"That's not quite how to put it…"

"Anyone honored as the number one in the shinobi world… must have his own unique qualities…"

Retsu shook his head, believing that for Hashirama Senju to earn such a title,

it couldn't be just empty boasting.

"A lion should use its full strength even against a rabbit… let alone when the opponent may well be stronger than us."

"Being a little careful is never wrong…"

Shihe also agreed with Retsu's view.

Although he said as much,

his face didn't show much of a concerned expression.

For him,

no matter how powerful Hashirama Senju was,

there was no way he could take on all four of them!!

Shihe himself hadn't expected

that there were actually this many people in the shinobi world who matched his own strength!!

If he himself were facing this kind of encirclement,

Shihe felt he wouldn't be able to turn the tables either!!

Thinking of this,

he even felt a trace of sympathy for Hashirama Senju's fate!

He couldn't imagine

what chance Hashirama Senju had of turning things around

against their joint attack!

After the probing exchange just now,

they all knew the opponent's strength was absolutely not below their own,

which made them even more confident about what came next!!

They believed

Hashirama Senju could not possibly be their match!!

"A few of you shouldn't be too careless…"

"The fact that Hashirama Senju managed to capture all nine Tailed Beasts… already proves his strength."

"Even if it's not as exaggerated as the rumors outside, it probably isn't far off."

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning said with a solemn expression!!

He looked like an impatient person,

but in truth

his mind was more meticulous than most people's!!

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning believed,

GLOSSARY:

- Hashirama Senju

- Raikage

- Kage

- the Land of Fire

- the Land of Lightning

- Shihe

- Tailed Beast

For Hashirama Senju to enjoy such high praise from the outside world,

he naturally could not possibly be a weakling!!

Therefore,

he reminded these people to summon every ounce of their concentration,

absolutely not allowing the slightest carelessness!!!

"That's right… although we believe in your strength…"

"but you certainly cannot just casually defeat someone whose strength is about equal to yours."

"The power of the Tailed Beast, I have already witnessed it… that is simply not a power that humans can resist…"

A look of terror appeared on the face of the daimyo of the Land of Wind!!

He had once seen the existence of the One-Tail Shukaku from afar!!

That kind of ability to casually turn a place into a desert,

the daimyo of the Land of Wind could not imagine,

how could such a power possibly be something humans could contend against!!

And Hashirama Senju could actually capture Shukaku,

he did not know how Hashirama Senju managed to do this!!

But seeing now that the strength of the several ninja they had found was so powerful,

the hearts of the few people also settled down somewhat!!

At the very least, these people were also not weaklings,

their strength, the few of them had also seen it!

They also possessed the power to casually change the terrain's appearance!

"The power of the Tailed Beast? That is merely because these people have never seen anything…"

"What can a mere Tailed Beast amount to?"

"Some unverified histories recorded in documents — would my lord the daimyo actually believe them too?"

A look of utter disdain crossed Yuzuki's face!!

Regarding the Tailed Beasts spoken of in the rumors,

he simply felt there was nothing to them at all!!!

No matter how strong a Tailed Beast was, how strong could it possibly be?

It was nothing more than a different sort of summoning beast!!

In Yuzuki's eyes,
