Chapter 246: True Thousand Hands VS The Beast's Difficulty [Ishihara Version]

Hashirama Senju stared at Ishihara for a moment, feeling a vague sense of threat, and sighed in his heart.

He knew this battle could no longer be avoided.

"Come with me; our fight will destroy the village!"

"Good!"

Ishihara was no butcher, nor did he have any interest in killing Leaf civilians as insignificant as ants.

The two used the Body Flicker Technique, flashing continuously as they left the Leaf.

Just after Ishihara's main body departed, a Wood Release clone heading toward the Mist Ninja Village appeared.

Then, looking toward the distant Nine-Tails battlefield, the corner of his mouth curled up.

On the Leaf battlefield.

Might Guy opened the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates, and threw a punch with a boom.

"Morning Tiger!!!"

Roar!!!

Accompanying the terrifying straight punch thrust forward.

A massive white tiger composed of shockwaves suddenly appeared before Might Guy's fist, then slammed into the Nine-Tails' head at extreme speed.

Bang!!

Terrifying power, immense impact force, instantly blasted the Nine-Tails flying away.

"Damn insect, I'll kill you!"

The Nine-Tails, its head broken and bleeding, face covered in blood, glared fiercely at Might Guy and roared.

But, in the very next moment.

Swish!

Ishihara's Wood Release clone suddenly appeared beside the Nine-Tails.

"Where did this little insect come from? Die!"

The Nine-Tails roared in fury, swinging its claws down to smash hard.

Ishihara glanced at him coldly.

"Genjutsu Space!"

Under the terrifying boost of ocular power, Ishihara's Genjutsu Space had reached a level that was horrifying to hear.

Buzz—

The pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan instantly appeared in the Nine-Tails' eyes, and its entire body froze in place.

"Damn it, who is this guy?!"

He looked at Ishihara in terror, involuntarily recalling the fear of being dominated by Madara.

He even felt that the ocular power of the man before him was more terrifying than Madara's!

Simply horrifying!

The Third Hokage, Might Guy, and others watched Ishihara appear and control the Nine-Tails, immediately becoming wary.

But before they could say anything, Ishihara, along with the Nine-Tails, suddenly vanished from the spot.

The Third Hokage and others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat uneasy in their hearts.

They did not think Ishihara would kindly help them.

Just then.

An incredibly powerful chakra suddenly erupted in the distance!

The Third Hokage and others hurriedly turned to look, immediately revealing expressions of shock and horror.

"Susanoo?!"

Time rewinds a bit.

In a flat plain several kilometers from the Leaf, Ishihara and Hashirama Senju stopped simultaneously.

The two stood facing each other, dozens of meters apart, the atmosphere silent and grim.

Ishihara looked at Hashirama Senju and said:

"It is rumored that Madara Uchiha's ocular power could control the Nine-Tails, but even he, allied with the Nine-Tails, was defeated by you!"

Hashirama Senju frowned slightly. "What do you want?"

Ishihara smiled faintly.

Swish!

A colossal figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was the Nine-Tails!

Seeing the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern in the Nine-Tails' eyes, Hashirama Senju's pupils shrank sharply, his expression becoming sharp and severe.

"You actually used ocular power to control the Nine-Tails?!"

Ishihara smiled faintly. "Do not be agitated; I merely wish to test whether I have now surpassed Madara at his peak."

He glanced at the other, his expression calm and confident, "Whether I have surpassed you!"

Hearing this, Hashirama Senju immediately burst into laughter.

"Boy, although you are strong, you are still far from Madara!"

If even Madara was far off, let alone him who was stronger than Madara.

Hearing this, Ishihara immediately laughed, opened his mouth, and softly spoke four words.

"Susanoo!"

Buzz—

Terrifying chakra erupted from his body, forming a violent shockwave that tore up the earth and raged outward in all directions.

Boom!

A blue giant suddenly appeared, and the ground beneath its feet exploded with a thunderous crash.

Utsukushino armor covered the entire Susanoo; two wings sprouted from its back, while its two arms each gripped a long blade.

Height: three hundred meters!

It blocked out the sky and obscured the sun!

Merely looking at it made one feel overwhelmingly oppressed! Oppressive!

Hiss!!!

Hashirama Senju inhaled slightly, his expression shifting with emotion.

"Your Susanoo is even taller than Madara's!"

As one of the most elite figures in the ninja world, he knew exactly what this meant.

This meant Ishihara had likely surpassed Madara in both Mangekyō Sharingan power and chakra reserves!

He stared in shock at Ishihara's eyes, a hint of confusion in his heart.

It was merely a Mangekyō Sharingan, yet why was its ocular power even stronger than Madara's Eternal Mangekyō?

Ishihara was not surprised.

His development of the Sharingan had been pushed to its limit at nearly every stage; his ocular power had long surpassed both Eternal Madara and Eternal Sasuke.

With a mere thought, the Susanoo leaped into the air and landed upon the Nine-Tails!

Crack! Crack!
