Chapter 272: Defeating Hashirama
Chapter 272: Defeating Hashirama
"Wow... very fast..."
Hashirama sighed in relief when he saw that Yeruashi was able to avoid the wood golem's attack, and then said in surprise, sensing that the Fifth Hokage's chakra was at least no weaker than his own, "Such chakra... are you able to completely control the Kyubi's power?"
"Then you should be able to stop me, Fifth Hokage!"
Hashirama's body continued to move on its own, controlling the wooden golem.
"In this state, my chakra is infinite, do not engage in a prolonged battle with me. Find a way to damage my body and then seal it with Fuuinjutsu, at this rate, you should have a chance."
The wooden golem raised its hand and struck Yeruashi, at the same time Hashirama described its current state.
Yeruashi smiled reassuringly and said, "No need for so much trouble."
Buzz!!!
The huge palm of the wooden golem, wrapped in air currents, rushed towards Yeruashi. This blow was enough to block a Bijudama and face a Bijuu head-on.
At this terrifying attack, Yeruashi gently raised the golden sword in his hand and suddenly waved it sharply.
"Golden Reincarnation Wheel Explosion!"
Whoosh!
A beam of golden light instantly spread out and quickly rose from below upwards, penetrating the wooden golem's body and disappearing into the sky.
The huge body of the wooden golem froze in place, and the wooden palm pointed at Yeruashi froze in mid-air.
Hashirama, standing on the golem's head, also froze.
Then...
Under the surprised gazes of numerous ninjas, a clear vertical line appeared in the center of the body of the huge wooden golem that struck in Yeruashi's direction.
This line spread neatly across the entire body of the wooden golem.
Sakumo watched in disbelief as the wooden golem that had previously suppressed the Kyubi split into two pieces perfectly from the center!
"Ugh..."
The stunned Hashirama also split in two. The hands, still realizing the shape of a seal, began to slowly fall to the sides.
Falling from the split wooden golem, Hashirama looked at the ground and saw a perfectly level fissure, like a bottomless abyss, stretching from the wooden golem's feet to the horizon, Forming a deep gorge!
It was impossible to tell how far it had extended.
"Such an attack..."
Hashirama's eyes flashed with surprise.
As he expected, the Fifth Hokage's chakra was even more powerful than his, This attack goes far beyond Uchiha Madara's Full Susanoo!
Silently.
A ray of sunlight illuminated Hashirama's face.
He looked at the sky out of the corner of his eye and surprise turned to shock.
In the initially dense clouds, unknown how high they were in the sky, as well as on the ground, a straight cut appeared!
A bright sun appeared in the resulting crack and illuminated Hashirama's face.
Then.
Yeruashi extended his hand in the direction of Hashirama's fall and squeezed the empty air with his palm.
The two halves of Hashirama's body were enveloped by an invisible force of gravity and headed towards Yeruashi.
"Hokage-sama, I'll have to seal you so Edo Tensei won't call you back."
Yeruashi turned towards the First Hokage, at the same time, a large number of black symbol chains fell from his palm and wrapped around Hashirama's body.
After encountering the Orbs of the Quest for Truth containing the power of the Six Paths, the body formed by the Edo Tensei will no longer be able to recover, but the soul was not destroyed, otherwise it would be impossible to face it without experiencing pain.
An attack on the soul will bring much more pain than damage to the physical body.
So, the Truth Quest Balls only affect the Edo Tensei, not the soul itself.
In other words, after the complete destruction of Edo Tensei's body by the Balls of Truth Quest, the soul will simply return to heaven.
If the user of Edo Tensei has at least a piece of the deceased's flesh left, he or she will be able to summon the soul of the deceased again. In the anime, the souls of Minato, Tobirama and the others whose Edo Tensei-reformed bodies were damaged by the Truth Quest Balls returned to heaven in a completely normal state.
According to Yeruashi's current knowledge and skills, there was no way to completely destroy a soul, even if it was a Killer Ash Bone All that can destroy the bodies of level Six Pathway opponents on contact.
However.
For Yeruashi, this is good news, because his illusionary clock is tied to the soul.
This means that in the ninja world, no one can kill him, even Kaguya's Killer Ash Bones Everything will be useless on him.
Now, in the event of a collision with Kaguya at full power, they simply cannot kill each other, besides, Kaguya can seal himself and he can't.
"I didn't expect..."
"That in the future, there would be a Hokage who has completely surpassed me..."
"The Fifth Hokage.... you..."
Hashirama, completely shrouded in black symbols, looked at Yeruashi in front of him with surprise and relief, saying, "In that case, I can rest easy.... Take care of that man who used Edo Tensei..."
"You don't have to worry."
Yeruashi turned to Hashirama one last time.
The First Hokage's body was completely wrapped in chains of black symbols and began to shrink, quickly taking the shape of a lock of black hair.
Yeruashi reached out, took a lock of black hair and then returned to Konoha and handed it to Tsunade.
"The First Hokage is sealed here."
"Tsunade-sensei, keep an eye on him."
Tsunade still stared dumbfounded at the clouds and earth cut off behind Yeruashi.
Hearing Yeruashi's words, she finally came to her senses and reached out to take the black lock.
"I'm going to Sunagakure."
"I'll leave all the business here to you, Tsunade-sensei."
Yeruashi turned to Tsunade, at the same time tuning into the spatial coordinate left on Kurenai's body and, in the next instant, her figure disappeared without a trace.
Only the countless ninjas of Konoha remained, still silently gazing at the shattered sky and earth.
"..."
Tsunade took a deep breath, forcibly calming her emotions, and turned her head to look at Sakumo nearby, "Sakumo-senpai, you also need to be sealed."
Hearing Tsunade's words, Sakumo came to his senses and looked up from the shattered sky, but there were still strong emotions and shock in his eyes that he could not suppress.
The sky opened up.
The earth has split
Was this the attack of his son!
"Such power, no wonder he carries the title of Ninja God as the First Hokage? Now I want even more to know what happened in the years after my death..."
Sakumo whispered and turned to Tsunade, "Can you tell me about Yeruashi?"
