Chapter 316

On the other side, Senju Hashirama felt relieved to see that the others had survived.

When the black flames rushed over, Senju Hashirama pressed his palms together and shouted: "Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique!"

Rumble!

A tree grew wildly, and a giant wooden arhat appeared on the battlefield.

Senju Hashirama stood on the head of the Wood Golem, his gaze fixed on Barragan Luisenbarn.

The feet of the Wood Golem were instantly engulfed by the black flames.

But due to the size of the Wood Golem, the effect of the Death Sigh was somewhat slower to take hold.

At the very least, Senju Hashirama now had a place to stand.

Senju Hashirama attempted to manipulate the Wood Golem, extending its fist to smash heavily toward Barragan Luisenbarn!

No expression could be seen on Barragan Luisenbarn's skeletal face; a giant axe tied with chains appeared in his hand.

With a whistle!

The giant axe was swung out by Barragan Luisenbarn, hitting the Wood Golem's fist head-on!

With a hiss!

The giant fist of the Wood Golem was instantly cut in half!

It even continued along the Wood Golem's massive arm without losing momentum, slashing toward its chest!

Senju Hashirama's eyes suddenly widened. Black markings appeared around the corners of his eyes, a pattern resembling a black target appeared on his forehead, and the outer rim of his pupils turned yellow while the inner part remained black.

Sage Mode!

Senju Hashirama ignored Barragan Luisenbarn's giant axe and instead formed hand seals.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Gates of the Great God!"

A character for "Seat" appeared on Senju Hashirama's hand.

The same character appeared on the other hand of the Wood Golem, and while Barragan Luisenbarn's giant axe was busy attacking, it pressed straight toward him!

Barragan Luisenbarn remained indifferent, not taking Senju Hashirama's Wood Golem seriously.

Flames surged on his body, and he rushed straight forward!

Boom!!

The terrifying black flames swept wildly over the Wood Golem's giant hand!

But to Barragan Luisenbarn's surprise, this time the giant hand was not instantly aged by his aging ability?

It seemed there was a special energy desperately resisting his ability.

Although it had already been aged by his power, the speed was extremely slow!

Barragan Luisenbarn used Sonido and vanished from the spot.

Boom!!

The Wood Golem's giant hand broke through the black flames and slammed straight into the earth!

Seeing Senju Hashirama's Wood Release break through the blockade of Barragan Luisenbarn's black flames.

All the ninjas watching the battle let out a cheer!

At the very least, they had seen hope!

Barragan Luisenbarn also began to seriously size up Senju Hashirama at this moment.

At this time, the markings on Senju Hashirama's face caught his attention.

This change had even elevated Senju Hashirama's aura significantly.

Although his aging ability had not failed, it had slowed down considerably.

This was not good news for him.

Senju Tobirama saw this scene and immediately perked up.

"Hmph, looks like Big Brother is getting serious."

Senju Tobirama, who had been somewhat worried, felt relieved after seeing that Sage Mode could delay Barragan Luisenbarn's ability.

At the very least, Barragan Luisenbarn's ability was not unsolvable.

As long as Big Brother was given a chance, he could defeat Barragan Luisenbarn's true form in one fell swoop!

Tsuchikage Ohnoki also felt relieved.

He even looked forward to Senju Hashirama defeating Barragan Luisenbarn quickly.

Although he had an infinite supply of Nine-Tails chakra, continuously using the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique to support all the ninjas of the Alliance was a very mentally taxing task.

At this moment, dense beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

If it went on any longer, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold on.

But below was an endless sea of black flames; if he couldn't hold on, it would be equivalent to throwing all the ninjas into a volcano to be roasted.

Please, First Hokage!

He gritted his teeth and continued to exert all his strength to perform the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently put down the body tissue he had been given by the person calling himself Zetsu, which was said to be Uchiha Madara's.

Although he didn't know if it was truly Uchiha Madara's, if even the First Hokage couldn't solve Barragan Luisenbarn.

Then for the sake of the Ninja World, he would have to gamble with this so-called Uchiha Madara body tissue.

Even if he didn't know what uncertainties would arise from summoning Uchiha Madara.

At least the First Hokage would be able to keep him in check.

However...

Judging by the current situation, it probably wouldn't be necessary.

On the other side, Black Zetsu secretly clicked his tongue.

If the Hollows' forces weren't strong enough, how else could he trick this group into using the Impure World Reincarnation to revive Uchiha Madara?

Or even trick them into using the other Tailed Beasts to revive the Ten-Tails?

Tsk!

This is troublesome!

It's unclear when that mysterious King of the Hollows' forces will appear.

And...

What exactly is the strength of this King?

Can he deal a fatal blow to the Ninja Alliance?

Why does it suddenly feel...

Like his plan is going to fall through?

Land of Whirlpools, Seireitei.

Uzumaki Chihiro observed the changes on the battlefield through the monitor.

Seeing that Senju Hashirama in Sage Mode could delay Barragan Luisenbarn's aging ability, he frowned slightly.

If that were the case, he feared the power of the Espada alone wouldn't be enough to win this war.

He turned his gaze to the Reputation Points on the system panel.

When Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama appeared on the battlefield and were suppressed by Barragan Luisenbarn and Coyote Starrk.

The growth rate of his Reputation Points reached its peak!

It had now broken through one million Reputation Points, reaching a full 1.6 million!

"It's time to continue recruiting troops."

To win the Third Ninja World War, a key figure was still needed.

Uzumaki Chihiro's eyes flashed, and he said:

"System, select the Hueco Mundo faction and spend one million Reputation Points to recruit a Hero Class unit!"

Uzumaki Chihiro went straight to the top, spending the highest amount of Reputation Points required to recruit a Hero Class unit.

The moment his voice fell, a black hole tore open in the space in front of Uzumaki Chihiro.

An elegant figure slowly stepped out of the black hole.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting a Hero Class unit, King of Hueco Mundo, Aizen Sosuke!"

Uzumaki Chihiro was not surprised.

With one million Reputation Points, this was likely the only character in the Hueco Mundo faction worthy of that price.

Uzumaki Chihiro took a closer look.

Aizen Sosuke had short brown hair and brown eyes; on the surface, he appeared to have a gentle demeanor, with eyes as warm as the sun, and a smile on his face.
