Chapter 348

Unlike when he was alive and possessed the Sage's body,

which could endlessly provide him with recovery ability!!

If he could defeat Hashirama Senju in an instant,

then the current situation would not have happened,

but once trapped in this kind of prolonged war of attrition,

he simply could not compare to Hashirama Senju at all!!

And feeling that if he really didn't go all out now,

there probably truly would be no chance left,

the Sage of Six Paths also made up his mind.

"Since it's like this… then I can't be blamed."

"If you are willing to turn back, this old man is still willing to give you one more chance…"

"But you chose to keep making mistake after mistake."

"Then even if I have to pour out all my strength today and stake my life, I can no longer leave you to plague the entire shinobi world!!"

The Sage of Six Paths gripped the tin staff in his hand with all his might,

and swung it fiercely forward,

the jet-black Truth-Seeking Ball before him immediately exploded like shards of glass!!

Gasping for breath in great heaving gulps,

he knew this was probably his very last chance!!

"Hashirama Senju!! What a pity…"

"You were supposed to have a brighter light and future!!!"

The moment his words fell,

an extremely intense and dazzling light burst forth from the Sage of Six Paths' body!!!

At this moment, he,

was just like a humanoid little sun!!

Just by sensing a wisp of the energy the Sage of Six Paths was radiating at this moment,

Yuezuo and the others felt their scalps go numb!!

If the Sage of Six Paths' energy at this moment were to erupt completely,

the Land of Fire would immediately be razed to the ground!!

And since they were so close to where the Sage of Six Paths and Hashirama Senju were fighting,

they felt as if countless blades were pressed against their throats at this moment,

ready to suffocate them to death at any moment!!

After Yuezuo and the others turned their heads and exchanged glances,

they all revealed a wry smile,

if they were given one more chance to choose,

no matter what they would never have come to provoke Hashirama Senju again,

but unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Even if Hashirama Senju would not kill them,

just the aftershocks of the battle between him and the Sage of Six Paths,

if even a little of it swept over them,

they probably wouldn't even have ashes left!!!

"Hashirama…"

"You must win…"

"You are the opponent I acknowledge…"

"I haven't completely defeated you yet…"

Madara Uchiha slightly parted his lips and murmured..

At this moment he even had an impulse,

to go up and help Hashirama Senju deal with the Sage of Six Paths!!

Because the energy and momentum the Sage of Six Paths was radiating at this moment far surpassed anyone he had ever seen on an ordinary day!!

Madara Uchiha also knew,

the Sage of Six Paths at this moment was probably going all out!!

But he still forcibly restrained this thought with his own reason,

because he knew this was a battle he could not插手.

If he went up to help, he would only make things worse,

even the aftershocks of the two clashing were not something he could handle.

What would be the point of him going up?

So the only thing he could do was wait,

wait until Hashirama Senju and the Sage of Six Paths determined a victor,

if Hashirama Senju won,

then naturally everyone would be happy,

if Hashirama Senju lost,

Then he, along with the Land of Fire behind him and even himself, would likely all be purged by the Sage of Six Paths!!!

"It seems… you truly are willing to pay any price just to make me kill you…"

"Very well… I will thoroughly shatter every ounce of your confidence this time!!"

He drew a deep breath,

and the relaxed expression that had just been on Hashirama Senju's face vanished completely!!

In that instant,

he also entered Sage Mode!!!

The nine Truth-Seeking Balls behind him writhed ceaselessly,

transforming into a thin layer of armor that coated his body!!!

Seeing the Truth-Seeking Balls wrap over Hashirama Senju's body like armor,

the Sage of Six Paths' pupils couldn't help but contract sharply!!!

To have developed the Truth-Seeking Balls to such a degree,

even his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, could not achieve this,

and the Sage of Six Paths himself could not achieve it either!!!

This proved

that Hashirama Senju's understanding of the Truth-Seeking Balls

had already surpassed that of anyone else in this world!!!

This made the Sage of Six Paths feel even more certain of his decision today,

that if he did not act against Hashirama Senju now,

given Hashirama Senju's terrifying rate of growth,

no one knew what he might become given a little more time!!

By then, even releasing his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, would not be enough to deal with Hashirama Senju!!

And Hashirama Senju did not choose to evade,

because he could not evade—

the Land of Fire was right behind him.

If he chose to dodge the Sage of Six Paths' all-out strike,

then the Land of Fire behind him,

and Madara Uchiha and the others, would all perish beneath that single attack of the Sage of Six Paths!!

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo…"

"Hashirama Senju…"
