Chapter 312

Since we can communicate with the other side…

Then things will be much easier.

"There is no irreconcilable contradiction between the two of us."

"You are still very young… If your age were placed among the Ōtsutsuki clan, it would be no different from an infant."

"But the fact that you can reach this level of strength at your age speaks volumes about how extraordinary your talent is."

"But no matter how high your talent, you are still only an ordinary human."

"Lifespan will always be a troubling problem for you, yet I have a way to help you solve it."

"As long as you are willing to hand over the Nine-Tails, I can help you solve the lifespan problem, and I can tell you the method our Ōtsutsuki clan uses to plant the Divine Tree…"

"With this method, you can plant the Divine Tree in your own world or in other worlds."

"As long as you gather enough Divine Tree fruits… perhaps one day you will be able to achieve the evolution of life, and even step into the legendary true divine realm — it is not impossible!!!"

Ōtsutsuki Urushi's tone was filled with a tempting, beguiling air.

He believed Hashirama Senju could not possibly refuse his proposal!!

There was no real need for the two of them to fight to the death,

and he only needed Hashirama to hand over the Nine-Tails' chakra,

then he could solve Hashirama's lifespan problem,

and tell him the method of planting the Divine Tree!!!!

Ōtsutsuki Urushi did not believe

that anyone could refuse the temptation of becoming a god!!!

……

When the people in the livestream saw Ōtsutsuki Urushi say this,

their hearts also rose into their throats!!

If it were the Hashirama Senju of the original world,

they would naturally believe the First Hokage could never do such a thing,

and he would never shake hands with an enemy for the temptation of immortality!!!

But the Hashirama Senju of this world —

they were not entirely sure about him.

After all, the Hashirama Senju of this world,

from beginning to end, had pursued only one thing: power.

And now someone had placed the temptation of stepping into godhood right before him,

without requiring him to pay any price at all…

If they were honest with themselves, many of them felt they too could not refuse such a temptation.

【Jiraiya: It can't be… Lord First Hokage shouldn't agree, right? If he really hands over the Nine-Tails' chakra to the other side, then we're done for!!】

【Orochimaru: Heh heh… Jiraiya, you don't understand. How great a temptation immortality holds for people like us… especially when the First is so desperate for even greater power.】

【Madara Uchiha: Hmph! You all look down on Hashirama too much. Although this Hashirama is a little different from the one I know, I believe his essence will not change!! What need is there to believe the words spoken by such a weakling?】

【Tobirama Senju: We shouldn't have wasted words on these aliens!! Anyone who isn't from our planet — nothing they say can be trusted!!】

【Shimura Danzo: I think the safest approach is to pretend to agree to his demands first, find a way to draw out this information, and then kill off these extraterrestrials!!】

【Minato Namikaze: The Ōtsutsuki clan doesn't even regard the people of other planets as lives… in their eyes, our lives are no different from grass and trees.】

……

Seeing Hashirama Senju's increasingly silent expression,

the smile on Ōtsutsuki Urushi's face grew thicker and thicker,

he could be certain

that Hashirama Senju had absolutely been tempted by his proposal.

He longed to obtain a longer lifespan and even greater power!!

But suddenly,

the Hashirama Senju opposite him gave a faint smile, then spoke.

"…It is true that I long for greater power…"

"But becoming a god — forget it…"

"If gods are all as weak as you, then this kind of god… better off without it!!!"

Hearing this,

Ōtsutsuki Urushi's face instantly turned dark as thunder,

and the veins on his forehead bulged one after another!!

"You bastard!! Looking to die!!"

He had thought that after hearing him say so much,

Hashirama Senju had long since been tempted,

never expecting that his own words

were nothing but a clown's act in Hashirama Senju's eyes!!!

After all this time, Hashirama had simply been watching the show!!

"Amenotejikara? Ryūgū!!!"

Ōtsutsuki Urushi spread his hands wide,

summoning purple-black chakra!!!

He wasn't going to waste any more words with Hashirama Senju,

even if it meant paying the price of grievous injury today!!

He would definitely kill every single person present!!

Purple-black chakra coalesced into a massive oarfish!!!

Though the oarfish's form couldn't compare to the giant wooden Buddha,

it was the ultimate manifestation of the chakra within Urashiki Otsutsuki's body!!!

Seeing the enormous purple-black oarfish in the sky,

the future Sasuke felt even more helpless inside!!!

This feeling of helplessness hadn't appeared in many years,

and the last time it had appeared,

was when the Uchiha clan was massacred!!!

That was the darkest, most helpless moment of his life!!

He could only watch helplessly as Itachi Uchiha raised his blade and slaughtered the entire clan clean,

while he himself could do nothing,

could only cling to life beneath that blade,

and barely escape with his life!!!

Now, Sasuke Uchiha was experiencing this long-lost feeling once again!!

He realized that if he faced this move from Urashiki Otsutsuki,

he could only watch helplessly as he unleashed it,

and do absolutely nothing!!!

If Urashiki Otsutsuki used this move in Konoha...

At the thought of this,

the future Sasuke had already secretly made up his mind,

that once he returned he must train properly,

and could no longer go on like before,

and at the same time he should urge Naruto to train hard!!!

The future of their world,

if nothing unexpected happened,

could only be entrusted to the two of them,

the future Sasuke knew,
