Chapter 340

If these raindrops were to fall on themselves,

how terrifying a thing that would be!?!?

【Fourth Raikage: Terrifying… Just one glance, and he learned every one of the First Kage's ninjutsu, and made them even more powerful than in their original users' hands.】

【Orochimaru: The First Hokage's talent is already the strongest ninja I have ever seen in my life; even the Sage of Six Paths would be no more than this.】

【Jiraiya: I thought the four First Kage and the First Hokage were evenly matched… Turns out it was because the First Hokage didn't want to defeat them so quickly, and still wanted to learn other ninjutsu from them, that he fought this way.】

【Ōnoki: From the start of the battle until now, the First Hokage has basically never taken the initiative to attack. He let them attack first, then countered back using each First Kage's own method!!】

【Terumī: We have still underestimated the First Hokage's strength too much. Judging from the state of the four Kage before us, their chance of defeating the First Hokage is infinitely close to zero.】

"Earth Release: Rock Arm!!!"

Shihe gave a low shout,

and the earth on the ground churned,

a giant arm formed of rock reaching out to grab at Hashirama Senju.

The arm was considerably larger than the Nine-Tails,

yet its speed was not slow!!

In an instant it pressed Hashirama Senju firmly beneath its palm!!!

In the moment the palm closed,

Shihe hadn't even had time to be glad!!

When a bang was heard,

the palm exploded!!!

Hashirama Senju appeared before them completely unharmed!!!

He formed hand seals toward Shihe in exactly the same way!!!

Watching Hashirama Senju's hand seals,

a bad premonition rose in Shihe's heart!!

Before he could react,

an arm of rock and earth, several times larger than the one he had just summoned, reached out to grab at them!!!

Boom!!!

The three of them were sent flying by the palm formed of massive stone!!!

At this moment an overwhelming sense of defeat welled up in the three of them!!!

In their lives,

they had never suffered such a blow!!

Their superior numbers were of no use against the enemy at all!!

Yet the enemy only needed a single glance,

and immediately learned their ninjutsu exactly as they were!!

And returned it with even greater force!!

For a moment the three of them had no desire left to keep fighting!!!

And Yozuki in the distance had long since walked out from the broken wall!!

The scene of their battle just now was seen by him in its entirety!!

He could not believe it,

that Hashirama Senju had only needed a single glance,

to learn all of their ninjutsu!!

And could return it in an even more powerful form!!

Hashirama Senju was even more proficient in their ninjutsu than they themselves were!!

Yozuki shifted his feet slightly forward at the side,

then finally stopped again!!

He realized,

he no longer had the courage to make another move against Hashirama Senju!!

At this moment,

he could not help but admit!!

that he was actually afraid!!

He could not now think of any way left to defeat Hashirama Senju!!

"¨」 I just don't believe it…"

"Sand Waterfall Funeral!!!"

Retto was the only one among them who had not yet made a move!!

With his words,

the ground before them churned!!

In just an instant,

the terrain here was directly altered!!!

Looking at the curtain of sand formed in the sky,

Hashirama Senju's expression still did not change in the slightest!!

He always wore that faint smile,

as if everything was in his grasp!!

At this moment,

the four of them finally understood why Hashirama Senju hadn't really fought from the start,

and had instead waited for them to make the first move!!

He wanted to completely destroy the four of their confidence!!!

After they used their own techniques,

Hashirama Senju would use the same,

but with far greater power, and pay it right back to them!!

Once they were all defeated by their own ninjutsu,

they would completely lose their fighting spirit!!!

Under everyone's gaze,

Hashirama Senju used the same hand seals as Rieto's,

and the same sand waterfall swept from his side toward Rieto's group!!

Only the power Hashirama Senju unleashed was several times stronger than Rieto's!!

The range was many times larger, too!!

"Puh!!!"

The sand instantly swallowed Rieto's group!!!

The instant the sand touched Rieto's group,

their expressions changed drastically!!!

The sand was incomprehensibly heavy,

and it kept steadily draining the chakra from their bodies!!!

In just an instant,

Rieto's group found they couldn't move at all!!

And their bodies had become abnormally weak!!

They didn't even have the strength to lift their own arms!!

Seeing Rieto's group with only their heads exposed above the sand,

Hashirama Senju smiled faintly.

"It seems… your strength isn't what I imagined."

"Although you've stepped into the Six Paths level…"

"You're not very skilled in Six Paths-level combat."
