Chapter 347

"That guy Hashirama... he's become even stronger than before..."

"This is just right... having a target to chase at all times."

Watching the scene of Hashirama Senju and the Sage of Six Paths fighting,

the curve at the corner of Madara Uchiha's mouth, who stood in the distance, grew wider and wider,

and his hands, which he had placed on his shoulders and gripped tightly,

made it clear that his heart was not at peace!!

Regarding Hashirama Senju's strength,

Madara Uchiha felt both despair and excitement!!

He hadn't expected that after working so hard for so long,

Hashirama Senju's rate of improvement in strength was even faster than he had imagined,

and now even the Sage of Six Paths was apparently no match for him!!

But Madara Uchiha also felt extremely excited,

for having an opponent whose strength far surpassed his own

was truly rare for him!!

If Hashirama Senju did not exist,

Madara Uchiha did not believe there was anyone in this world who could be his opponent!!

Even the few people of Tsuki no Yo who had barely stepped into the Six Paths level,

Madara Uchiha also believed they were not qualified to be his opponents,

because they had stepped into the Six Paths level by relying on external power!!

And they themselves did not have the foundation of the Six Paths level,

but Madara Uchiha believed that through his own cultivation,

he would one day truly step into the Six Paths level!!

And in the future, Sasuke frowned deeply,

for he only now knew exactly how far Hashirama Senju's strength had reached,

it seemed that when he had fought him before,

Hashirama Senju had not taken him to heart at all,

and he had not revealed his true strength!!

From beginning to end he had only been fighting him with a playful attitude,

even now, looking at Hashirama Senju,

and seeing the relaxed, contented expression on his face,

future Sasuke could not be certain whether he had used his full strength!!

【Jiraiya:... I didn't expect even the Sage of Six Paths to be no match for the First Hokage, my lord. It seems no one in this world can pose a threat to the First Hokage, my lord anymore.】

【Orochimaru: I'm now increasingly looking forward to how this world will develop next. A First Hokage with powerful strength, ambition, and not so many rules and restrictions — I wonder what this world will become!!】

【Tobirama Senju: Hmph! Those few troublemakers who came to challenge us — if Big Brother hadn't let them off, they'd already be dead, and yet they still dare come back to challenge Big Brother. What utter nerve!!】

【Fourth Raikage: The First Kage, who were so much stronger than us, have all fallen to Hashirama Senju. I wonder just how strong the current First Hokage's strength has become?】

【Ōnoki: The First Hokage only watched each village's Kage perform their techniques once, and he learned them all completely, and even mastered them better than they did. From this one can see that the First Hokage has already reached the pinnacle in ninjutsu...】

【Terumi Mei: What is most shocking is still the First Hokage's rate of improvement. Compared to his powerful strength, this is the most terrifying point. No one knows why he can improve so quickly...】

【Nagato Uzumaki: Hypocritical Sage of Six Paths!!! Clearly possessing such powerful strength, yet unwilling to come change this world. When someone more suitable than him to change this world appeared, he actually came out to stop that person!!】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Yeah... that's so weird. This old man clearly has such powerful strength, so why has he never appeared in this world?】

【Minato Namikaze: If the Sage of Six Paths were willing to personally intervene in many of this world's processes, perhaps many problems would have turned out differently...】

【Kushina Uzumaki: Hmph!! He calls himself the Sage of Six Paths, but what he's done doesn't look like a sage at all. I think he wants to keep this world tightly in his own grasp. This livestream can clearly connect to anyone, so he must have seen it too, but the Sage of Six Paths of our world hasn't said a single word — I don't know where he went.】

Within the Pure Land,

the Sage of Six Paths saw the comments in the livestream,

and couldn't help the corner of his eye twitch!!

Seeing these comments,

he couldn't even help wondering whether he had really become some so-called villain??

At first he had also believed his own approach was correct,

for he had his own difficulties.

But now he couldn't help but feel some doubt about his own approach,

having stood by idly for so many years,

letting the shinobi world develop as it would,

was that really the right thing to do?

But before he could think it through carefully.

Seeing the increasingly wretched appearance of his other self on the screen,

the Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!!

He even suspected that Hashirama Senju on the black screen

already had strength infinitely close to Kaguya Otsutsuki,

and even if not,

then it couldn't be far off!!!

He even felt a trace of the sensation from back when he had fought his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki-hime!!

However, Hashirama Senju was even more terrifying than Kaguya Otsutsuki-hime,

The strength Hashirama Senju displayed was clearly not strong,

Yet it gave him an indescribable sense of suffocation!!

And although Kaguya Otsutsuki-hime's strength far surpassed his own,

Kaguya Otsutsuki-hime's actual combat ability was not strong,

Her fighting style was also very crude!!

……

"Sage of Six Paths, admit it."

"You cannot possibly stop me."

Looking at the Sage of Six Paths struggling to hold on under his attacks,

Hashirama Senju said with a faint smile.

Even the Sage of Six Paths in his living, prime state,

Hashirama Senju would not necessarily fear him!!

Let alone,

A Sage of Six Paths who had been dead for many years,

Whose strength was far inferior to his prime state!!

For Hashirama Senju,

This simply required no hesitation at all!!

He simply could not imagine what method the Sage of Six Paths could possibly use to stop him,

If the Sage of Six Paths truly had the confidence to stop him,

He would have come out to face him himself from the very start,

And would not have sent Yotsuki and the others to their deaths!!!

"Damnable…"

"Had I known this earlier, I should have personally taken action long ago to eliminate you…"

"I should not have allowed you to grow to where you are today!!"

Clenching his teeth tightly,

The Sage of Six Paths felt himself growing weaker and weaker!!

After all,

His current state was merely a spirit body,
