Chapter 266

"I have to say, the power of the Tailed Beasts is truly terrifying..."

"This kind of power should never be captured by any single person or faction."

"Hashirama Senju obtained these nine Tailed Beasts... and from then on, he was virtually invincible on the battlefield."

After hearing Bai Lian say this,

the expressions on the faces of the four Daimyo grew even more grim!!

They never imagined,

that things were even worse than they had feared!

The power of the Tailed Beasts was actually stronger than recorded!

And this operation ended in total failure!

The four of them, even joining forces, were defeated by Hashirama Senju,

and they seemed to have lost their fighting spirit entirely!

In the short term,

they could not afford to launch any strategy against the Land of Fire!

"Although the power of the Tailed Beasts is immense,"

"their combat style is extremely simplistic."

"They might be effective against ordinary ninja, but to us, their actual threat is minimal."

"Of the nine Tailed Beasts, the first seven are relatively easy to handle."

"The Eight-Tails is harder to deal with than them..."

"But the Nine-Tails is the most terrifying... we exhausted every ounce of strength just to barely defeat the Nine-Tails... 々「..."

Bai Lian and the others also acknowledged the strength of the nine Tailed Beasts.

Upon hearing this,

the four Daimyo exchanged glances,

their faces filled with confusion.

They did not understand,

why, after gaining such an advantage,

these four still looked utterly demoralized.

Could Hashirama Senju have dealt them such a crushing blow?

"Perhaps the Daimyo are curious why we speak this way despite having defeated the nine Tailed Beasts..."

Before the Daimyo could reply,

Bai Lian continued speaking.

"Although we defeated the Nine-Tails, our chakra and physical strength reached their absolute limits."

"And only after we were utterly exhausted did Hashirama Senju appear before us..."

Upon hearing this, the Daimyo and the others finally exhaled in relief.

So that was it,

Hashirama Senju only appeared at the very end,

and after defeating the nine Tailed Beasts,

they had already been completely drained.

Therefore,

they were not as utterly defeated as they had thought!

Hashirama Senju simply won because they were exhausted!

And seeing the Daimyo's expressions,

Bai Lian let out a bitter laugh.

"We were not defeated by Hashirama Senju under these conditions."

"Hashirama Senju used some kind of ability that completely restored our physical strength and injuries..."

"So we were defeated by Hashirama Senju while in our absolute peak condition..."

"To be honest... I have never seen such a miraculous ability..."

"He merely waved his hand, and our condition was fully restored."

"Even the most skilled medical ninja could not achieve this."

"But what is most terrifying is his strength."

"He used no ninjutsu, no other abilities whatsoever..."

"He defeated all four of us with just one punch!!"

As Bai Lian spoke these words,

Yoru's face was filled with bitter resentment!!!

To him,

being defeated by Hashirama Senju with no resistance at all was a disgrace!

The expressions on the faces of the others were no better.

They had never imagined,

that one day they would be defeated so easily!

The gap between them and Hashirama Senju,

The gap between them and Hashirama Senju,

It's simply like the gap between a baby and an adult!

Hearing them say that,

the several daimyo opened their mouths,

not knowing what expression to make!!

It was only because the things Bai Lian said were truly too hard to believe!

The four of them represented the strongest fighting power of four nations!

But even so,

they couldn't even take a single punch from Hashirama Senju?!

If they didn't clearly know the strength of these four people,

they would even have thought these four were joking!!

"Could it be… you fell into his trap?"

"Isn't the Uchiha clan proficient in genjutsu? Is there a possibility… that Hashirama Senju joined forces with the Uchiha clan to use genjutsu?"

The daimyo of the Land of Wind spoke his conjecture.

Bai Lian shook his head,

and said with a bitter smile.

"Lord Daimyo, do you think…"

"Even if they used genjutsu, what difference does it actually make?"

"Even if it really was just genjutsu, being able to make all four of us fall to their genjutsu at the same time…"

Saying this much,

Bai Lian said no more,

he believed the daimyo should understand his meaning!

After hearing Bai Lian's words,

the daimyo fell silent for a while.

That's right…

Even if it was genjutsu,

being able to make all four of them—Yue Ye and the others—fall to genjutsu at the same time

was still a display of Hashirama Senju's strength.

"Lord Daimyo… I must withdraw from this operation."

"Hashirama Senju leading the Land of Fire to unify the shinobi world is only a matter of time."

"I hope Lord Daimyo prepares early… and makes no futile resistance…"
