Chapter 362

Kakashi Hatake was not going to make any more试探！！

He was going to immediately use the secret technique of Jigoku no Kyou to kill Hashirama Senju,

making Hashirama Senju pay for underestimating him！！

Especially seeing the faint smile on Hashirama Senju's face,

this made Kakashi Hatake even more furious！！

This feeling,

was as if Hashirama Senju had absolute confidence he could handle Kakashi Hatake himself！

【Jiraiya: This ninja from the Land of Water has admirable courage... After one failure, he dares try again. Has he not realized the gap between them?】

【Orochimaru: If the First Hokage had any intent to kill him, he wouldn't even have been able to get close to the First Hokage...】

【Tsunade: Let me see the Waterfall Country's secret technique—grafting an enemy's heart onto oneself to extend life... I wonder if this technique could be applied to medical ninjutsu?...】

【Fourth Raikage: We haven't seen the true power of this technique yet, but it sounds incredibly strong—any ordinary Jonin who masters it could immediately threaten a Kage-level opponent!!】

【Omoi: A nation that has survived from the Warring States era, no matter how weak, must have its own unique strengths.】

【Terumi Mei: The First Hokage seems to have some other plan for him—otherwise he would've killed him outright. This ninja's strength is decent, but to fight the First Hokage... the gap is far too great!!】

【Shikamaru: Hmph!! Come to think of it, I do recall this ninja—he once challenged the First Hokage and was crushed instantly by Wood Release... yet he's still alive to this day.】

【Kakashi Hatake: If he's still alive now... does that mean he's watching the livestream right now? How pitiful...】

the Akatsuki,

upon seeing the discussion inside the livestream,

all members of the Akatsuki turned their gazes wildly toward Kakashi Hatake standing aside.

Even the usually cold-faced,

perpetually expressionless Itachi Uchiha,

his lips curled into a faint smile!!!

"Kakashi Hatake's strength is actually quite formidable..."

"But his opponent is the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju... and this Hashirama Senju is even stronger than the records indicate..."

"If any of us were in Kakashi Hatake's place, we'd fare no better..."

Kabuto Yakushi spread his hands and said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing his words,

Kakashi Hatake's expression grew even darker!!

Because he knew Kabuto Yakushi wasn't mocking him,

but precisely because of that,

it made Kakashi Hatake feel even more ironic!!

He even felt as if his face were being rubbed into the ground!!

Seeing Kakashi Hatake's expression,

everyone else's faces wore expressions of malicious delight!!

After all, Kakashi Hatake always liked to stare at their necks' heads,

constantly thinking of using their heads to claim bounties!!

And this guy always boasted about having fought the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!!

He barely escaped with his life from the First Hokage's hands,

yet in Kakashi Hatake's telling, it became a legendary eight-hundred-round battle ending in a narrow defeat to the First Hokage!!

The key point is, he really did fight the First Hokage,

and he really did survive.

But the details of the battle could never be verified!!

Now, however,

his entire battle with the First Hokage would be broadcast to the entire ninja world.

"Let me see the power of Jigoku no Kyou... Kakashi Hatake..."

In the Land of Grass,

Orochimaru said, squinting his eyes.

He had heard rumors of Kakashi Hatake's abilities,

and had even proposed exchanging secret techniques with him.

But since Jigoku no Kyou was Kakashi Hatake's most vital ability,

he had flatly refused him without hesitation!!

Orochimaru had coveted this technique for a long time!!

Any knowledge of immortality in the ninja world was what he craved,

and the fact that Kakashi Hatake could fuse five hearts without obstruction,

Moreover, the horn was able to fuse the five hearts without any obstruction,

was enough to astonish him immensely!!

Cell manipulation always carried great risk,

and one misstep could lead to backlash!!

If mishandled, it will cause backlash!!

It took him three years to gradually adapt to replacing his own body,

but Kaku had no such concerns when replacing his heart!!

He could perform such a critical surgery as heart replacement without any hindrance,

which made Orochimaru even more curious about Kaku's abilities!!

Perhaps through his battle with Hashirama Senju,

I could gain even more inspiration!!

……

"Hashirama Senju!! Let me show you the new power I've acquired!!!"

With that,

Kaku's body suddenly exploded!!

Five pitch-black tentacles burst forth from his body!!

"Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!"

"Earth Release: Rock Spear Pillar!"

"Water Release: Water Cannon Technique!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

"Lei Dun: Lightning Ball!"

After seeing the ninjutsu unleashed by Kaku's black tentacles,

Hashirama Senju's eyes also showed a hint of admiration!!

For ordinary ninja,

being able to use even one additional nature transformation would strengthen their combat ability slightly!!

But Kaku could perfectly wield all five nature transformations,

surpassing the vast majority of ordinary ninja!!!

Even some clan heads of the Land of Fire would likely not be his match!!

Within the Land of Fire,

Kaku's strength would certainly rank among the top!!

Panting as he watched Hashirama Senju buried beneath his own ninjutsu,

Kakuzu's strength could absolutely rank among the top!!

Panting as he looked at Hashirama Senju, who had been overwhelmed by his ninjutsu,
