"Forget about it, let's just leave it at that."
"What?! You're doomed to lose today, Hashirama!"
"Since that's the case, then I'll have to defeat you first before we talk about the alliance between the two races."
Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique, Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!
Swish swish.
In the blink of an eye, five large wooden figures surrounded Aizen, who appeared to be all alone.
Hashirama Senju's strength: Talents: Abilities: Wood Release Secret Technique+, Mastery of the Five Elements, Superhuman Strength in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, Healing Without Hand Seals, Genjutsu: Dark Travel Technique, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, Taijutsu+, Mastery of Sealing Techniques, Sage Mode, Sage Art: Wood Release. To be honest, Aizen was speechless when he saw Hashirama Senju's stats.
The longer he stayed in this world, the more he felt that Madara Uchiha's long-standing stalemate with Hashirama Senju was because Hashirama Senju was holding back.
The fact that one is naturally superior in terms of talent perfectly illustrates that the Sage's Eyes below the Rinnegan are inferior to the Sage's Body.
In terms of talent, Hashirama Senju's water-based abilities truly put Madara Uchiha, who, despite having fully developed his Sharingan except for fire-style techniques, to shame, couldn't defeat Madara Uchiha using wood-style techniques.
The most terrifying thing is that the level inside the parentheses is just too glaring.
The initial estimate was incorrect.
When Hashirama Senju entered Sage Mode, he had reached the level of an elite captain, similar to Byakuya Kuchiki in later generations.
Even disregarding Sage Mode, the wooden dummy alone could contend with the Complete Susanoo, and Madara Uchiha before he acquired the Eternal Eye was also unable to support the Complete Susanoo.
Even without Sage Mode, Hashirama Senju is a level above Madara Uchiha, who was originally at a top-tier level.
Aizen was surprised by this, but he could understand it.
Putting aside the fact that Banda with the Eternal Eye didn't reach that level, the Nine-Tails' destructive power alone is definitely there. The Nine-Tails can't beat these two just because it's countered by Wood Release and Sharingan.
If we still consider the Eternal Class as top-tier combat power, then the fact that even a top-tier team plus a destructive force couldn't defeat them seems quite reasonable to consider the Thousand Immortals Mode.
It can only be said that Aizen initially misjudged the strength of Madara and Hashirama.
These two are not even in the same league.
In this ninja world, aside from being number one, it seems to be the norm that Ashura is one step ahead of Indra. Although Indra often manages to catch up in the end, before the final stage, Ashura, with all his trump cards, is always a step stronger than Indra.
Compared to Madara Uchiha's abilities, Aizen felt that Hashirama Senju's abilities were more appealing to him.
Sage Mode is a bit complicated, so we'll leave it for now.
The Sage Mode Wood Release and monstrous strength alone are enough to make anyone envious.
The rating of Level 1 directly proves the power of Sage Art: Wood Release. The reason it cannot be higher is probably because chakra, as an energy, is not as powerful as spiritual energy.
The fact that the strength level is lower is not only related to chakra energy, but also likely to the fact that the physical strength of the ninjas in this world is insufficient.
Aizen remembered the official information about his superhuman strength fairly clearly.
Ninjutsu Technique: Superhuman Strength: Precisely controlling chakra, concentrating it throughout the body, covering the entire body with purple chakra (for Tobirama Senju, it was blue), then unleashing a powerful burst of energy that could easily shatter walls.
Simply put, this is the complete form of superhuman strength.
Tsunade's monstrous strength is too restrained and focuses solely on physical power. Although her chakra control as a medical ninja allows her to excel in physical strength, it is ultimately an extreme approach.
The phrase "real superhuman strength" sounds familiar.
For some reason, it reminded Aizen of something called Shun.
Energized by energy, a powerful airflow enhances close-combat power.
Hmm, they really do look very similar.
Moreover, in terms of coverage alone, Mighty is closer to Soi Fon's full-coverage Infinite Shun, but Infinite Shun, in addition to its explosive power, also has mid-to-long-range bursts and further enhanced speed.
But overall, this also proves that superhuman strength has considerable potential.
Looking at Madara Uchiha, the only thing that could pique his interest even slightly was one of his eyes, which is truly disheartening.
Thinking about it this way, Aizen couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Madara Uchiha.
Getting back to the main point, the imposing presence of the five level 55 Wood Men caused Aizen's brow to twitch slightly.
The wooden doll created by the four 44 clones seems to be just as good as the original, thanks to Sage Mode.
Boom! A punch landed.
Aizen nimbly used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
But as soon as he landed, two more wooden figures stepped over him.
"Susanoo!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Aizen's eyes began to spin rapidly, and his deep blue, transparent skeleton grew and spread quickly.
First stage, second stage, third stage, fourth stage, and finally, the complete form! A hundred-meter giant, no weaker than a wooden dummy, thunderously pushed aside the two wooden dummy figures, who staggered backward and had no time to resist before being cut in half at the waist by the complete Susanoo's sword...
"Um"
A hint of surprise flashed in Hashirama Senju's eyes.
This was the first time he had ever seen Susanoo in this form, but it wasn't much stronger than the previous Susanoo without wings; at most, it was only on par with the wooden golem.
He simply didn't understand that there was such a thing as unreasonable swordsmanship! "Hiss!"
Blood was flowing continuously from both eyes, forcing Aizen to squint. At this moment, Aizen was truly in great pain.
In the original storyline, Aizen remained unfazed even after being stabbed by Gin Ichimaru, but that doesn't mean he felt no pain.
Okay, he changed his opinion of Madara Uchiha.
This guy might be a bit stupid, and compared to Hashirama Senju in front of him, he's a bit of a jerk, but in terms of mentality, he's definitely a ruthless person.
In order to activate Susanoo using only the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan, Aizen used his expertise in the soul to track down Indra's chakra deep within the soul and secretly absorbed a small amount to strengthen his eyes.
If he weren't worried about being suspected by Black Zetsu, he would have absorbed them all.
Although these eyes are now able to support the complete Susanoo, it's really painful for someone with the Eternal Eyes' Mangekyou Sharingan to unleash the complete Susanoo! Seizing this moment, Aizen narrowed his eyes and controlled the Susanoo to unleash less than three-tenths of his original swordsmanship level, quickly slashing at the wooden puppets.
Seeing Aizen's eyes bleeding profusely, Hashirama Senju's eyes flashed with worry, but he decisively continued his attack.
"All magical arts are techniques of the cloth bag!"
Chapter 103 The Unexpected Tobirama Senju 7/10
"All magical arts are techniques of the cloth bag!"
Aizen, who was fighting three wooden puppets at once, reacted quickly and controlled Susanoo to slash at a certain spot, swiftly severing one of the wooden arms.
In the ensuing battle, mysterious wooden hands continued to appear.
Seeing that Hashirama Senju seemed to have stopped making any further moves, Aizen's sense of unease intensified once more.
Where are your True Thousand Hands and your Mystic Gate?! You've already used immortal techniques, and you still haven't unleashed your full power. If this isn't considered holding back, then there's nothing more to say.
Of course, perhaps not yet.
However, this possibility is very low. After all, even if you really didn't know how, you wouldn't just stand by and watch the wooden figure and hands play after making a couple of moves, would you?
When Aizen thought about how Naruto in his tailed beast form and Sasuke in his cursed seal form fought to a draw, he seemed to understand something.
Asura's love for Indra is truly profound; even though he is stronger than Indra, he still tries to create the illusion of a stalemate.
However, since the opponent didn't unleash their ultimate attack, Aizen was happy to cooperate.
In any case, the amount of Yin Release chakra he absorbed from Indra was enough to sustain his Susanoo Perfect Form for at least a day.
As for suppression, could the opponent's wooden puppet and wooden hand possibly harm him? Even if controlling Susanoo to perform swordsmanship is not like his own and the level he can exert is limited, it is still far superior to the opponent's brute force that relies entirely on size and strength.
What appeared to be a fierce battle was actually quite childish at this point.
If it weren't for the occasional interference from those wooden hands, those three wooden figures would have been cut down by Aizen's Susanoo long ago.
In truth, Aizen didn't intend to force Hashirama Senju to go all out. Although he remained confident, Hashirama was quite troublesome at this point in time, and he wanted to avoid any unexpected events.
Since the start of the Naruto storyline, Hashirama Senju has never appeared in his prime.
Even during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Even Tobirama Senju was surprised that his strength had been weakened to such an extent during that battle, let alone Hashirama Senju.
Even in that state, Hashirama Senju was confident that his Myojinmon could suppress Obito of the Six Paths.
That's right, it was Obito in Six Paths! Although he wasn't truly suppressed in the end, it still proved that Hashirama Senju's true strength should not be underestimated.
At least Aizen believed that Hashirama Senju at his peak might not be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight against Madara Uchiha with Rinnegan.
It's uncertain whether Hashirama Senju still possessed those powerful techniques at this time, but he was certainly very close to his peak. Madara Uchiha, on the other hand, not only acquired the Rinnegan in his old age, but at this point, he also lacked the Eternal Eye and the Nine-Tails' assistance, making him far from becoming "Madara the Great."
It's still a long way from the peak before the Six Realms stage.
Even if a pro player like him were to come and fill in for him midway through, the early game economic development gap is still significant, so it's still better to play it safe.
However, as time passed, Aizen's expression changed upon seeing the shift in the battle on the other side, and he immediately...
The Susanoo was controlled to use a sword technique.
The Susanoo, flying using its wings, nearly doubled its speed.
"One-Sword Style Iaijutsu Lion's Song!"
Swish! The three wooden figures were chopped in two as if in jest.
"Nani!"
Hashirama Senju's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
However, the battle on the other side also drew his attention.
Five minutes ago.
"That's my elder brother's Susanoo, it even has wings now!"
Uchiha Izuna, who was leaning against the second stage of Susanoo and Tobirama Senju, looked up in astonishment.
Tobirama Senju's gaze shifted slightly, but he quickly began forming hand seals.
"Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!"
"Tobirama Senju, you're asking for death! See you at Oyamazumi!"
Without losing focus any longer, a hint of anger flashed across Uchiha Izuna's face as he used his second eye technique, his earth-yellow chakra instantly attaching itself to Susanoo.
Boom! The compressed water jet exploded, and Susanoo was blasted back dozens of meters.
However, aside from his complexion becoming a bit rosier, Uchiha Izuna's Susanoo, enhanced with defense, still managed to block the opponent's top-tier ninjutsu.
This time, Uchiha Izuna, who had been ambushed time and again, was completely enraged.
Those kaleidoscopes spun even faster.
His tan Susanoo also began to transform rapidly, instantly becoming his ultimate fourth form.
A twisted look of pain flashed across Uchiha Izuna's face, and he instinctively covered his eyes, letting out a cry of agony: "Ah!!!"
"Eyes gained by sacrificing family members, and power gained by sacrificing those same eyes—what a pathetic and vile race!"
Seeing this, Tobirama Senju, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, muttered something in a low voice, filled with disgust.
"Water Release: Water Barrage!"
Bang bang bang.
Uchiha Izuna, who hadn't quite adjusted yet, was still unable to control Susanoo, but this time Senju Tobirama's water jutsu had no effect whatsoever.
"Damn it, that guy's Susanoo is even harder now."
After cursing, Tobirama Senju used the Water Stream technique to appear beside the opponent's Susanoo.
Bang! Tobirama Senju, his body radiating a bluish-green chakra, unleashed a powerful punch.
The Susanoo, which was tens of meters in size, was knocked back by his punch, and its chakra-based body was cracked with numerous fissures.
Seemingly accustomed to the pain, Uchiha Izuna, clutching his eyes, ferociously controlled his Susanoo and slashed back with his sword.
With his pupils shrinking, Tobirama Senju vanished from his spot in an instant.
The ground, already riddled with cracks, was now covered in water, and a shocking slash mark appeared on it.
Tear.
"How... is that possible?"
With a contorted expression, Uchiha Izuna gasped for breath, utterly bewildered.
