Chapter 1082: Instantly Killed?

A sturdy figure walked from afar. This figure was still carrying something on his shoulder, looking like a woman.

It was Amu who arrived. As for what it was carrying on its shoulder, it wasn't Tsunade. Su Xiao captured Tsunade just to keep Hashirama Senju down. As for threatening Hashirama with Tsunade's life during the battle, Su Xiao never considered that. He sometimes did things unscrupulously, but that depended on what kind of person the enemy was.

Facing a powerhouse like Hashirama Senju, who could remain calm even if his own strength was weakened, Su Xiao wouldn't do that.

Battle is life-and-death. People who strive to become stronger don't dislike fighting.

Hashirama Senju was a gentle person. Did he dislike fighting? Researching ninjutsu was just to protect his relatives? Protecting relatives was only part of the reason. There was also more than half the reason that Hashirama Senju also liked life-and-death battles, but he didn't show it.

For example, a person cooks food every day. Why does he cook food? Of course, it is for himself or others to enjoy, and to improve his cooking skills during the cooking process.

Becoming stronger is similar to this process. After anyone becomes stronger, they want to find an opponent to have a big battle, or even a life-and-death battle. Only in battle can they most deeply feel how much they have become stronger.

When defeating those existences that originally needed to be looked up to, that sense of achievement and satisfaction absolutely cannot be found in other things.

Becoming stronger is closely linked to fighting. Like Hashirama and Naruto, they hide their desires after becoming stronger, but once there is an opportunity, they will also let go and fight.

And Su Xiao and Uchiha Madara are the ones who won't hide it at all. Although they won't involve innocent people, if their stances are opposite, then prepare for a life-and-death battle.

It takes motivation to do something. Not liking fighting and having no other obsessions—that is absolutely impossible to become stronger quickly. This is a law. If Hashirama was just a kind man, would he be as strong as he is today? Absolutely impossible!

Amu arrived behind Su Xiao. The one carried on Amu's shoulder was Karin, who was full of horror.

Su Xiao signaled Amu to let go of Karin. As soon as Karin stood on the ground, she suddenly felt a bit weak in the legs because she felt that the person not far away looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Gulp. Karin swallowed.

"This is... Hashirama Senju??"

Karin was clearly somewhat uncertain. She had seen Hashirama Senju's statue many times. Coupled with Hashirama Senju's exaggerated amount of chakra, Karin guessed Hashirama Senju's identity.

"Yes, the living Hashirama Senju."

Su Xiao's voice was very calm.

"We... are going to fight him?"

Karin's voice was slightly sobbing.

"You don't need to fight him. You just need to heal me well, and by the way, sense the movements around you."

"O... okay."

Karin retreated quickly, hugging her chest with both hands. Su Xiao's sentence 'you just need to heal me well' made Karin misunderstand.

Not only was Karin sensing the surroundings, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was also sensing the surroundings, while providing the Ice Goddess Aura.

Don't think Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was playing a minor role near the battlefield. On the contrary, its task was very heavy: sensing, amateur healing, controlling Amu's fighting, sneak attacking Hashirama at critical moments, and blocking or luring away the Ninja Alliance's reinforcements.

Every battle, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang basically didn't go on stage, but this didn't mean Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was holding back. It was Su Xiao's greatest help. More importantly, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was trustworthy. Because of this, Su Xiao could focus on dealing with Hashirama Senju.

The alchemy array in Amu's eyes flashed. It was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang taking over its body control. Compared with Amu's own consciousness, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's cooperation with Su Xiao was more tacit.

Without Su Xiao signaling, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang controlled Amu to rush toward Hashirama Senju.

Boom, boom. Boom...

Gravel splashed beneath Amu's feet. As cold air rose on those bull horns, its charging speed became faster and faster. This was Amu's charge skill, Fearless Charge.

Whoosh~

Amu dragged out afterimages behind it at the end of the charge. This was brute force + speed.

Sensing the subtle vibration on the ground, black patterns appeared around Hashirama Senju's eyes, and a black circle appeared on his forehead with a black dot in the center. This was his Sage Mode.

Hashirama put his two thumbs into his mouth and bit them open with a crack. Just when Su Xiao thought Hashirama was going to use Fivefold Rashōmon, small branches grew from Hashirama's wounds, quickly wrapping around his arms.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's brows frowned. He wasn't surprised that Hashirama used this degree of Wood Release, but Hashirama's reaction surprised him very much.

Judging by Hashirama's reaction, Su Xiao didn't seem to be the first person to 'seal' his Kekkei Genkai. Hashirama seemed to have experienced similar battles.

"The last time I was so weak was when I fought that old guy from the Uchiha clan."

Hashirama's body leaned low, his arms stretched out on both sides of his body.

Boom, boom, boom.

Amu, who was charging with its head buried, rushed in front of Hashirama Senju, and those bull horns went straight to Hashirama's chest. Judging by this posture, it was clearly going to pierce Hashirama.

Crack, crack, crack~

The branches on Hashirama's arms grew rapidly. These were branches grown from his blood.

These branches quickly formed two arm-like shapes. When Amu rushed in front of Hashirama, the two branch arms accurately grabbed Amu's bull horns.

Boom!

Hashirama Senju's legs below the knees sank into the ground, and mud and gravel sprayed behind him. This was the impact caused by the collision.

Smoke, dust, and impact spread around. In the smoke, Hashirama's body leaned forward, and the two branch arms were connected to his shoulders, firmly grabbing Amu's bull horns.

Hashirama Senju resisted Amu's collision head-on, but his stamina attribute was higher than Amu's. This collision looked sound and powerful, but it didn't hurt Hashirama Senju at all.

Hashirama Senju's free hands were forming hand seals quickly. It seemed that he hadn't used this ninjutsu for a long time, and his hand seal speed wasn't very fast.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave."

Hashirama's head tilted back slightly, and a straight water column about the thickness of a finger sprayed from his mouth. Water Severing Wave was Tobirama Senju's signature ninjutsu. As Tobirama Senju's older brother, Hashirama of course also knew this move. After all, all the ninjutsu of the two brothers were shared.

This water column was fast and urgent, aiming straight at the back of Amu's head. Coupled with Amu's bull horns being grabbed by the branch arms, it had no possibility of dodging at all.

With a sizzle, the water drop pierced the top of Amu's head. This water drop looked small, but it actually carried ultra-high pressure, similar to the principle of a high-pressure water jet cutter.

Water splashes sprayed dozens of meters high, in which small skull fragments could be vaguely seen.

When the water splashes fell, Hashirama and Amu still maintained their previous posture. On the top of Amu's head, a hole the thickness of a finger appeared, the skull around the hole was shattered, and the precise soft tissue structure and large patches of alchemy arrays could be seen inside.

Not only the top of the head, but a hole also appeared at the back of Amu's waist. Hashirama's Water Release: Water Severing Wave actually pierced Amu through. ===== CHAPTER 1083 =====
