🕑 Added 2025-10-24 10:23:32 +0000 UTCChapter 351: The Battle of Hashirama Senju vs. Asura Begins!
In ancient times, there was an allegory called "Tian Ji's Horse Race." The ending of the story was actually a very amicable one.
The people of the ninja world probably didn't know this story.
However, Kitahara knew.
It knew even better that the inferior horse sent to deal with the enemy's superior horse had lost miserably. And in the ending of the ninja world's story, it should be a miserable death…
"So, you're saying I'm the one to entangle Madara?"
Tobirama's expression was a little grim. He looked at the crow's red eyes and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
The enmity between him and Madara could be traced from the Warring States Period to Madara's defection from the village. If he was caught by Madara, he would be severely humiliated…
Precisely because of this, Madara's hatred would probably be focused entirely on him.
Relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, coupled with the infinite chakra of an Edo Tensei body, he should be able to entangle him for a while, right?
Hashirama clenched his fists and took a step forward. "Am I to deal with that person named Asura?"
According to the intelligence Kitahara had just provided, the opponent was his ancestor and possessed the same Wood Style Kekkei Genkai as him.
And the power of the sage arts Asura used was even stronger!
The battle between the two of them was the reincarnation against the previous life. Both of them were known for their endurance in battle. It would be difficult to win completely, and it would also be difficult to be completely defeated…
It was estimated that by the time the battle between Kitahara and Kaguya was over, the battle between Hashirama and Asura might have just finished warming up…
"Am I to deal with Indra? The ancestor of our Uchiha clan…"
Itachi's expression was faintly worried. He didn't know the opponent's strength yet, although Kitahara had always said that Indra was just a little brother… With the addition of the Truth-Seeking Orbs, he should be able to win, right?
"Hey, Itachi, my life is in your hands!"
Tobirama's expression was a little grim. His relationship with Itachi was complicated. They had a master-disciple relationship, but they had also had their conflicts.
Tobirama looked at the Truth-Seeking Orbs behind Madara and said in a cold voice, "I can't guarantee how long I can last. It all depends on how long it takes for you to win and come support me!"
Itachi nodded heavily. "…Mm."
"Then let the battle begin!"
Hashirama was the first to launch an attack on Asura. After clasping his hands together, he slammed them on the ground. "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Plants grew out of thin air on the arid desert!
Dense, thick tree roots instantly surged towards Asura!
This act of taking the initiative to attack his own ancestor clearly angered Asura. He returned the favor with the same ninjutsu. "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
A countless, dense forest of trees spread from his hands!
"…Hey! Kitahara!"
Hashirama charged towards Asura, riding on a thick branch. He shouted, "Are you sure that ancestor only has the same Wood Style as me, and not some bizarre copying ability like you?"
"…Caw…"
The Karasu-Tengu's crimson eyes lit up. It nodded indifferently, its gaze fixed deadly on Kaguya's movements, afraid that she would slip out of the Amenominakanaka dimension while it wasn't paying attention!
"Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
A towering wood golem appeared out of thin air beneath Hashirama, lifting his body and slamming a palm towards Asura!
He then saw a towering wood golem appear beneath Asura as well, blocking his attack!
Before the two had even made formal contact, they had each unleashed their specialty Kekkei Genkai jutsu!
Hashirama looked at Asura and suddenly burst out laughing. "I never thought I'd be able to enjoy such a hearty battle after death…"
"Indeed! Your attainments in the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai are truly worthy of praise!"
Asura praised his descendant, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I have no way of breaking Grandmother's control and can only be forced to fight you…"
"It doesn't matter! This war will ultimately be ended by someone stronger!"
Hashirama's hands slammed together, and dark black eyeshadow appeared on his face. "I never thought I'd be able to absorb natural energy in a place like this!"
"Indeed…"
Although the intensity of the battle between them was high, the atmosphere was quite harmonious…
If it were in another place, Hashirama might have been willing to have a good drink with Asura…
It had to be said, the opponent he was facing this time was really to his liking, even more so than Madara. Hashirama preferred his personality!
Indra's expression was faintly complicated. He looked at the two towering wood golems clashing in the distance and said in a low voice, "Looking at that idiot's appearance, is he another chakra reincarnate of that guy Asura?"
"Mm…"
Madara gave a reserved nod. He was not used to speaking ill of Hashirama in private. Generally, he would praise him.
Madara looked at the swirling dust and said with emotion, "In the battles between me and Hashirama, I won few and lost many. I have never seen anyone who could be compared to him in Wood Style. Today is the first time…"
The two towering wood golems in the distance stirred up countless clouds of sand and dust!
Then, their battle fell into a stalemate. Countless wood dragons emerged from the two wood golems and became entangled with each other!
This scene shook the eyes of the two…
"That guy Asura is his ancestor, and also the first ninja to use Wood Style. He is also the previous life-form that gave him his chakra…"
Indra looked at this scene, his face growing grimmer. "Even if he only has the chakra, it should be impossible for him to have the same Kekkei Genkai as Asura… That little brat named Hashirama is not simple!"
"Next, who will deal with us?"
Madara turned his head to look at the approaching Tobirama, the corners of his mouth twitching. He glanced at his own ancestor. "That guy should be the weakest one here…"
Indra looked at his expression, the corner of his eye twitching. "…So, you think he's here to challenge me?"
What did this guy Madara mean! On one hand, he was using the chakra he had passed down, and on the other, he was trying to laugh at him, his ancestor?
"Madara Uchiha!"
Tobirama shouted loudly. He was the first to scatter kunai with curse marks all over the desert. Sheets of explosive tags were casually stuck to his arms!
He looked at Madara, who was still sitting calmly in the distance, and continued, "I'm still thinking, you shouldn't have forgotten who killed Izuna Uchiha, have you?"
As expected of the Second Hokage…
The moment he opened his mouth, he had firmly drawn all the aggro!
"Hmph! Do you think I'll fall for such a low-level provocation!"
Madara snorted coldly. A Truth-Seeking Orb under his control shot towards Tobirama. "After I've dealt with you, I'll go and take care of that little brat Itachi!"
The Truth-Seeking Orb shot into the empty desert, instantly detonating the sea of sand!
Tobirama didn't dare to face the threat of the Truth-Seeking Orb directly. He could only use the Flying Thunder God Technique to move around in an attempt to avoid it!
He was actually the one under the most pressure in the entire battle!
"…"
Itachi Uchiha raised his head and looked at Indra, who was in his Ninshu robes, in the distance. He flew up into the air and landed in front of him. "It seems now, I can only ask for guidance from my ancestor…"
"Although I don't want to target my own descendant, to think that you would side with that guy Asura's reincarnate. You must not be an orthodox Uchiha…"
The Mangekyo Sharingan in Indra's eye sockets lit up. A purple Perfect Susanoo covered his entire body. "What disgusts me even more is that, although you are my descendant, I can see my father's shadow in you…"
This descendant named Itachi Uchiha, although he possessed the Sharingan, did not have that evil chakra. This little brat was too much like the Sage of Six Paths!
Itachi's expression was a bit awkward. "…"
Indra stood proudly within the Susanoo and said loudly, "Open your Mangekyo Sharingan and condense your Susanoo with your ocular power, didn't you?"
"Let me see what abilities the 'Mind's Eye of the Kagura' has bestowed upon the descendants of today!"
Hearing Indra's words, Itachi's expression became even more awkward. "Actually, our Uchiha clan, although we possess the Mangekyo, we don't really use it much…"
