Chapter 311

Vanished from the spot!!

After activating the final form,

This is also the greatest drawback,

He could barely use any of his Rinnegan abilities anymore,

He could only rely on his own strength and speed to dodge this attack!!!

But Ōtsutsuki Uzumaki probably thought,

Even if he used his Rinnegan abilities!

He still couldn't safely evade this attack!!

The giant Buddha's size was truly absurdly enormous,

This one move sealed off all the surrounding space!!

Even if he narrowly managed to dodge the giant Buddha's hand using space-time abilities,

He probably couldn't dodge this hand next time!!!

Even Madara Uchiha, watching from below as he saw the wooden Buddha's size,

Couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly…

"This guy, Hashirama… has become even more outrageous…"

When Madara Uchiha looked up,

All he could see above was the wooden Buddha's body,

Nothing else at all!!

The last time he fought Hashirama Senju,

The wooden Buddha Hashirama Senju summoned,

Wasn't this enormous.

How much time had passed since then,

Yet the wooden Buddha's size had grown even larger,

Madara Uchiha knew Hashirama Senju's strength had improved again,

And this was what shocked him the most!!!

He believed his own progress speed wasn't slow at all,

Every moment he felt himself growing stronger!!

But compared to Hashirama Senju,

His speed was still far behind!!!

Hashirama Senju's strength advanced like a rocket,

Leaving him utterly out of reach!!

"This guy… has even altered the density of the surrounding space."

After barely dodging the wooden Buddha's grasp,

Ōtsutsuki Uzumaki said with tense expression!!

In that instant of dodging,

He felt the air's resistance had become much stronger than before!!

This was what shocked him the most!!

Fortunately, though he'd lost his Rinnegan abilities,

His own physical constitution had risen significantly!!

So although dodging had been difficult,

It hadn't actually drained him much!!

【Jiraiya: This size is just absurd… isn't the entire Konoha smaller than this wooden Buddha?】

【Orochimaru: Besides, when the First Hokage summons such a terrifying wooden Buddha, his face shows no sign of strain… it's like we just cast a B- or C-rank ninjutsu…】

【Madara Uchiha: This is the most terrifying thing about Hashirama—if he truly devoted himself to cultivation, no one could match his pace of progress.】

【Minato Namikaze: What confuses me most is the wooden Buddha's movement speed—its body is so massive, yet its speed is terrifying… even if I used Flying Thunder God, I'm not sure I could outpace this wooden Buddha.】

【Tsunade: Grandpa's life energy has far surpassed the Tailed Beasts and even the Three Sages. I suspect that even if he died, his body could remain alive indefinitely… his cell vitality has exceeded my understanding.】

【Shikamaru Nara: If we could crack the secret of Wood Release, perhaps each of us could gain these benefits… Konoha's overall strength could rise several levels!!】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo!! Stop obsessing over your so-called experiments!! Such experiments… are far too evil.】

【Fourth Raikage: Third Hokage, when it comes to hypocrisy, I truly admire only you—you were the one who backed Danzo's experiments, yet now you're shifting all the blame onto him!!】

【Ōnoki: Is this the strongest Fire Shadow's aide? … Indeed, worthy of its reputation… impressive, impressive!!】

【Nara Shikamaru: I've thought of countless ways to counter the First Hokage's technique, but none worked—only failure… I can't think of any other option!!】

【Nara Shikamaru: Dad, give up. Our Nara family may be smart, but we're still ordinary humans—what can we do against divine power?】

…

His eyes flickered slightly,

Ōtsutsuki Uzumaki's mind raced with frantic thoughts,

He was thinking of a way to secure victory at the smallest cost!!!

The appearance of this wooden Buddha had made him fully realize,

Hashirama Senju was no mere native,

This man was fully capable of threatening his safety!!

One misstep,

He might really die at his hands!!

On the planets the Ōtsutsuki had ruled in the past,

such cases were not unheard of.

On some of those native planets,

one or two extraordinarily powerful humans would always be born,

and these people's strength was even greater than that of most members of the Ōtsutsuki clan,

possessing the ability to threaten their lives,

and there were even Ōtsutsuki clan members who died at the hands of the natives!!

Now Urashiki Ōtsutsuki believed Hashirama Senju possessed the same caliber!!

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki certainly did not want to be the Ōtsutsuki clansman who died,

he still wanted to gather more Divine Tree fruits,

to evolve his own life once more, and become the sole god of the Ōtsutsuki clan!!

This was also the wish in the heart of every Ōtsutsuki clansman!!

"Human… I apologize for what I just said."

"Your strength has earned my recognition."

"You possess strength and potential no less than that of our Ōtsutsuki clan…"

"If the two of us were to fight to the death here, it would be far too regrettable for either of us to perish."

"Our lives should not be wasted on such a meaningless thing…"

Seeing that Urashiki Ōtsutsuki seemed to have no intention of continuing his attack,

and had instead stopped to say something,

Hashirama Senju also had the Wooden Buddha cease its assault,

he stood quietly opposite Urashiki Ōtsutsuki,

watching to see what he wanted to say.

Seeing Hashirama Senju stop his movements,

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's eyes lit up.

There's a chance!!!

It seemed Hashirama Senju was also wary of his strength,

and did not want to fight him to the death here!!
