Chapter 328: Madara: Only I Can Trample Hashirama Underfoot!

"No, I'm afraid your understanding of so-called power..."

"... differs fundamentally from mine."

Aizen Sosuke's voice was cold as he said, "Let me tell you what true power is."

As soon as the words left his lips, Aizen Sosuke suddenly Body Flickered before Senju Hashirama, raising Kyoka Suigetsu high in his hand.

"This is power!"

Senju Hashirama's eyes widened; he clapped his hands together and shouted, "Now! Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!!"

Uzumaki Mito's voice rang out simultaneously!

"Kurama!"

The Nine-Tails curled its lip in annoyance, yet it understood the gravity of the situation and set aside its grievances with Senju Hashirama.

Chakra within its body erupted violently, instantly converging onto the Wood Golem summoned by Senju Hashirama.

"Cloaked Form: Wood Human Technique!!"

A golden chakra shroud etched with black patterns enveloped the massive Wood Golem!

The giant golden head of the Kitsune covered the Golem's head!

"Roar!!"

The terrifying roar instantly sent shockwaves through the air!

Countless Ninja caught in the blast were blown away before they could stabilize their stance!

Under the gaze of everyone present!

The Cloaked Wood Human Technique raised its clenched fists high and smashed them down heavily upon the tiny figure of Aizen Sosuke!!

The wind generated by the attack made Aizen Sosuke's clothes flap loudly.

Even facing the Cloaked Wood Human Technique, his expression remained unchanged.

He merely swung the raised Kyoka Suigetsu lightly!

Hiss—

A streak of white light sliced through the air!

The movements of the Cloaked Wood Human Technique instantly froze.

The next second, the white light erupted from the center of the Cloaked Wood Human Technique!

A smooth cut surface split the Cloaked Wood Human Technique in two!

Boom!!

The bisected Cloaked Wood Human Technique instantly toppled over!!

Crash!!

The ground began to tremble violently under the impact of the collapsing Wood Golem!

Massive clouds of dust were instantly kicked up!

The clean bisection of the Cloaked Wood Human Technique left Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, and Senju Tobirama stunned for a moment.

Through Uzumaki Mito's eyes, the Nine-Tails stared deathly at Aizen Sosuke.

Could its, the Nine-Tails', power really not withstand even a single move from this man?!

Senju Hashirama fell silent.

Even if Aizen Sosuke revealed his true form at the moment of attack, but...

Even if Aizen Sosuke exposed his true self, could they possibly defeat him?

He had only swung his blade lightly.

His Wood Release combined with the Nine-Tails Chakra; even Madara would have been powerless to resist!

Yet Aizen Sosuke had dismantled it instantly!!

Just then, Aizen Sosuke's voice suddenly rang out.

"Bakudo 90: Kurohitsugi!"

As the words ended, a black, wall-like rectangular prism appeared out of nowhere as if warping space-time!

Uzumaki Mito only had time to show a look of surprise before she was instantly engulfed!

Senju Hashirama's eyes widened immediately, and he cried out in shock, "Mito!"

Hum—

A few seconds later, the Black Coffin vanished, revealing Uzumaki Mito's figure.

Seeing no visible wounds on Uzumaki Mito's surface, Senju Hashirama unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly!

Spurt—

Several pillars of blood instantly gushed from Uzumaki Mito's body!

She fell straight to the ground!!

"Mito!"

Senju Hashirama's heart lurched; he immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique to catch Mito before she hit the ground.

Looking at the dying Uzumaki Mito, Senju Hashirama's heart instantly sank.

Grief-stricken, he asked, "Mito, how are you?"

Uzumaki Mito struggled to move her eyes, forcing a faint smile as she said, "The vitality of the Uzumaki Clan, you know it well... I can still... hold on for a while..."

"Don't worry about me, go deal with that... Aizen Sosuke first."

Senju Hashirama paused briefly, then said in a heavy voice, "Rest assured, I will be back soon."

Gently setting Uzumaki Mito down, Senju Hashirama's eyes filled with determination.

Uzumaki Mito watched Senju Hashirama's retreating back, her expression dazed.

Without the Nine-Tails' Chakra, she would probably be dead by now...

Aizen Sosuke, truly a terrifying man...

Hashirama...
