Chapter 79

"It's just... it's just that my current strength is too great."

"If I happen to fail to hold back... it wouldn't be good if I accidentally kill someone..."

Hashirama Senju did indeed look at Hyuga Tenzou and the Hyuga clan members behind him in exactly this way.

After all, when an elephant walks, it has to step over the ants without crushing them,

and that force is very hard to control.

And in Hashirama Senju's eyes, he himself was an elephant,

and Hyuga Tenzou and the others were a group of ants.

His own strength and that of ordinary ninja were long since no longer on the same dimension.

Hearing this,

Hyuga Tenzou and the surrounding Hyuga clan members standing nearby

all had their expressions change at once!!!

Those words were simply too arrogant!!!

Their Hyuga clan's Byakugan

was renowned alongside the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

Within the Land of Fire, they were the top noble clan!

There had only ever been others who feared their Hyuga clan;

there had never been a time when the Hyuga clan feared them!!

"Clan Head Hashirama! You can rest assured!"

"If you accidentally kill any member of the Hyuga clan, you can only blame it on their own lack of strength!"

"No one can be blamed for that..."

"However, just to be safe, this time I will be the one to serve as your opponent..."

"As for your Wood Release, I have long wished to experience it for myself..."

"Although I am no longer at my peak from a few years ago, within the entire Hyuga clan, I should still rank among the very best..."

"I hope Clan Head Hashirama can let me witness the power hailed as the very pinnacle of existence!!"

Hyuga Tenzou said in a low voice, his head bowed.

Even he felt a surge of anger at this moment.

Although he admitted he was no match for Hashirama Senju,

and their entire Hyuga clan could not find a single person who was Hashirama Senju's opponent!!

But Hashirama Senju's words

truly made him feel anger!

【Madara Uchiha: How absurd! A mere Byakugan dares to challenge the power of Wood Release? An ant actually deludes itself into thinking it can fight Hashirama?】

【Tobirama Senju: This big brother's strength is far greater than it is now. Poor Hyuga Tenzou—I wonder how many moves he can last against big brother.】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Byakugan, huh... If Byakugan had a higher-level evolution method, there might still be a sliver of possibility of fighting Lord Hashirama, but ordinary Byakugan—the ceiling really is right there...】

【Shimura Danzo:... The power of Byakugan is simply too weak. Against ordinary ninja it might be useful, but against the First Hokage's Wood Release... being able to protect themselves would already be considered decent.】

【Minato Namikaze: Although the Hyuga clan's Byakugan is also a very excellent Kekkei Genkai, this Hyuga clan head is simply overestimating his own strength far too much...】

【Orochimaru: Hehe... Hyuga Tenzou's body and the old man's are about the same now—both are at the worst period of a ninja's condition—and yet he still deludes himself into challenging the God of Shinobi at his peak...】

【Tsunade:... Come to think of it... there's one particularly bad thing about this livestream room—you can't place bets... It would be great if there were a betting function, that would make it more interesting to watch.】

【Hashirama Senju: Mm, little Tsunade's words still make a lot of sense, this really is a bit of a pity...】

……

After thinking for a moment,

Hashirama Senju looked over the people around him.

Seeing the angry expressions on their faces,

Hashirama Senju mused.

"How about this... if I make a move, it really is hard to control the force..."

"I'll use my Wood Clone to fight you all."

"A Wood Clone only has about one percent of my strength..."

"This way... I won't have to worry about hurting you..."

"Clan Head Tenzou, you don't have to face me alone either... you can have the capable members of your Hyuga clan come at me together..."

At these words.

The expressions on Hyuga Tenzou and the others' faces seemed to grow even darker.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Since Clan Head Hashirama has said as much, this old man naturally cannot refuse such hospitality."

"I shall see for myself whether the legendary Wood Release is truly as powerful as they say!!"

While saying these words,

Hyuga Tenzou was grinding his back teeth so hard they were about to shatter!!!

Seeing the angry expressions on their faces,

Hashirama Senju, however, paid them no heed at all.

Right now they were angry at his attitude toward them,

but once they truly fought him,

they would naturally come to appreciate the gap between them!

Hashirama Senju did not consider this a slight against them,

he was merely stating a fact.

In Hashirama Senju's view,

throughout the entire shinobi world today,

those who could personally cross hands with him could be counted on one hand.

But within that small group of people,

it absolutely did not include anyone from the Hyuga clan!

If the Hyuga clan could evolve their Byakugan to a new stage,

then Hashirama Senju might perhaps still have a sliver of interest.

In the distance,

Hyuga Kazuki stood far away, staring at them.

As for the conversation between Hyuga Tensou and Hashirama Senju,

Hyuga Kazuki also heard every word of it clearly,

and she also wanted to know,

just how strong Hashirama Senju's power truly was.

When she heard that Hashirama Senju only intended to use a Wood Clone possessing one percent of his strength to fight,

she felt it was somewhat unbelievable in her heart!!!

She could not imagine,

that Hashirama Senju's strength could reach such a degree?

Although she admired Hashirama Senju's bottomless strength,

using only one clone,

to defeat all these people before him,

Hyuga Kazuki felt this was an impossible matter!!

Because she knew clearly,

just how powerful these people's strength truly was!!

【Uchiha Madara: A boring battle… it'll probably be over very soon!】

【Orochimaru: The Hyuga clan of the Warring States era seems to be no match for the Hyuga clan of our era…】

【Uzumaki Naruto: It can't be that bad, right… I look at Hinata's clan's Byakugan, and it doesn't seem weak at all…】

【Hyuga Hinata: Na-Naruto-kun, our clan's Byakugan probably can't compare to the First's Wood Release…】
