Chapter 345

His potential and talent were the strongest of any person the Sage of Six Paths had ever seen,

If given another few hundred years to Hashirama Senju,

Or even several thousand years,

Who could say how far Hashirama Senju would grow?

From the life energy radiating from Hashirama Senju now,

He had completely surpassed the sages of the three great sanctuaries.

Even if given another several thousand years,

The Sage of Six Paths believed Hashirama Senju might never die of old age.

He could live forever!!

His lifespan had drawn immeasurably close to that of his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki,

Perhaps even longer!!

"Pssst!!!"

Between the two men clashing,

Several razor-sharp wind blades erupted!!

The wind blades slashed violently in all directions,

Even slicing open the cheeks of Yoru and the others!!

Seeing the cuts on their faces,

And the bright red blood oozing out,

Yoru and the others groaned in despair!!!

They were buried beneath the desert,

Unable to move at all.

And Hashirama Senju and the Sage of Six Paths were fighting just a short distance away,

The residual shockwaves from their clash caused massive destruction around them,

One misstep,

And if their battle swept over to where they were,

It would pose a grave threat to all four of them!!!

Several wind blades had even grazed the very scalps of Yoru and the others!!

They felt that,

If any one of them could survive this battle between the two,

It would be an extraordinary stroke of luck!!

【Fourth Raikage: The First Raikage looks pitiful… I'm afraid these wind blades might shave him bald…】

【Terumi Mei: I thought the four First Kage could unleash a titanic battle against the First Hokage, but they were defeated so swiftly by him…】

【Oonoki: The battle between the four First Kage and Hashirama Senju was merely an appetizer… The true main event is the clash between the Sage of Six Paths and Hashirama Senju!!】

【Jiraiya: No wonder it's called the legendary Sage's eye… If even a single scheming person harnesses this power, it's terrifying… The power of the Tailed Beasts pales beside it, like that of an infant.】

【Orochimaru: To wield the Rinnegan's power so easily is impossible. This eye's power is too terrifying, its requirements too extreme—misuse will only backfire and devour the user.】

【Tsunade: From my experience, the stronger the doujutsu, the stronger the body must be… If Hashirama's body weren't so immensely powerful, and a normal ninja were given the Rinnegan… the moment he awakened it, he'd drop dead.】

【Minato Namikaze: The Sage of Six Paths never expected this—how could the First Hokage master the Rinnegan to this degree in such a short time, even rivaling him perfectly!!】

【Madara Uchiha: Hmph! Hashirama is the most talented ninja I've ever seen. If he dedicates himself fully to cultivation, no one can match him!!】

【Uchiha Madara: Hmph! Hashirama is the most gifted ninja I have ever seen. If he were to set his mind to devoting all his energy to training, no one could ever catch up to him!!】

As the two remained locked in stalemate,

Hashirama Senju suddenly smiled mysteriously.

His right hand suddenly transformed into a transparent chameleon,

The chameleon extended its long tongue,

Lashing toward the Sage of Six Paths!!

Seeing the tongue hurtling toward him,

The Sage of Six Paths' face darkened instantly,

He twisted his body sharply to the left,

Evading the attack!!!

·· ········Requesting flowers··· ·······

"You!! You've already mastered the Six Paths abilities this fast?!!"

The Sage of Six Paths stared at Hashirama Senju in disbelief!!!

He knew the Naraka Path's ability all too well,

This ability could directly strike the opponent's soul!!

And for him, at this moment, it was the most lethal of all,

Because he had long since lost his original body,

Existing now only as a chakra soul entity in this world!!

Yet Hashirama Senju's ability to develop the Rinnegan's power to this extent so quickly

Still exceeded the Sage of Six Paths' imagination!!

Even when he himself first obtained the Rinnegan,

Even back when he himself had obtained the Rinnegan,

It also took him many years,

before he gradually awakened the power of the Six Paths!!!

And Hashirama Senju had actually managed it just by exploring on his own,

developing the Rinnegan to such a degree?!!

"No... no matter what, today I have to make him stay here...!!"

The Sage of Six Paths felt a chill in his heart at this moment.

If he didn't take care of Hashirama Senju here today,

after another few years passed,

would he still have a chance to deal with Hashirama Senju?

Let alone him,

even after several more years,

even if he unsealed the seal on the moon,

and released Kaguya Otsutsuki,

with the two of them—mother and son—joining forces,

they still might not be a match for Hashirama Senju!!

"What? Just this much is already enough to surprise you?"

"Then if you saw me in this form... what would you do?"

Hashirama Senju smiled faintly.

Immediately after,

nine pitch-black, enormous spheres slowly materialized behind him.

Uchiha Madara only glanced at them from afar,

..... 0....

and could already sense just how terrifying the energy contained within those spheres was!!

The energy contained within each sphere,

far exceeded that of a Tailed Beast Ball by tens of thousands of times or more!!

"You've even developed the Truth-Seeking Balls to such a degree?"

Seeing the Truth-Seeking Ball spheres behind Hashirama Senju—far larger than his own,

the Sage of Six Paths grew increasingly uneasy!!!

One, two, three, four... nine...
