Chapter 204: Hashirama Senju, Cracking Down on Piracy

In the ninja world, the genuine version of a Kekkei Genkai is generally more powerful.
Counterfeit versions are fine for scaring people, but when they encounter a genuinely strong individual, they will ultimately be defeated. Of course, if you can force a 50/50 fight like Kakashi, then there's nothing to be done.
Yamato was valued because he possessed the Wood Style…
However, the Wood Style was only valued because it was Hashirama Senju's Kekkei Genkai.
After a brief reflection on these two sentences, one can appreciate the vast difference between Hashirama Senju and Yamato… Yamato was clearly the "Wood Style 2.0" version, yet he couldn't even reach 0.2 of the power of the original "Wood Style 0.0" version!
"Lord First Hokage…"
Yamato gazed at the figure behind the Deep Forest Emergence. He had shoulder-length black hair, a Konoha headband, and wore red plate armor over a black full-body suit…
That man had not only changed his destiny but also the destiny of the entire ninja world. The man crowned with the title "God of Shinobi"… just how terrifying was he?
Yamato's palm slammed onto the ground. "Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall!"
Rows of wooden planks snaked out from the earth, rising up to form a barrier in front of them, blocking the attacks of the forest trees…
Kisame Hoshigaki formed a hand seal and looked at his teammates. "Hey, we've got the stuff anyway, let's get out of here first, shall we?"
No one thought that the counterfeit version could defeat the genuine article.
The power of the God of Shinobi had become a legend. Most people could only marvel at Hashirama Senju's strength through bits and pieces of stories.
It usually went something like this…
The Uchiha are the number one Kekkei Genkai clan in the ninja world, and Itachi Uchiha is the number one genius, but their clan head from fifty or sixty years ago was even more amazing, yet he still got thrashed by Hashirama Senju…
This kind of talk was fine for praising the First Hokage, but it also had to drag the Uchiha in for a public flogging. It must have been spread by Uchiha-haters, probably Danzo's doing…
As the number one political rival of the great strategist Tobirama within the organization, Kisame Hoshigaki knew a bit more. He had often heard from Tobirama's own mouth praises of his elder brother, mainly to intimidate Kisame, the man from the Hidden Mist, into obedience and not to oppose him.
However, after listening to the great strategist Tobirama's boasts, Kisame had even gotten annoyed. The way he talked, it sounded like his brother Hashirama Senju could flatten the ninja world and annihilate the Five Great Shinobi Villages without any difficulty…
After one Deep Forest Emergence…
If the great strategist Tobirama was right, this Deep Forest Emergence that had trapped them was just a casual ninjutsu from Hashirama, with the same nature as throwing a shuriken…
Kisame Hoshigaki finally remembered the solemn phrase Tobirama Senju would always say before praising his brother: I am not kidding.
The great strategist Tobirama really wasn't kidding!
"Earth Style: Earth-Style Rampart! Huff… huff… Mr. Kisame…" Yamato said in a deep voice while maintaining the defensive ninjutsu, "Unless we can continuously destroy the forest in our path, we won't be able to escape…"
"Let me do it! The Sixth Gate, the Gate of Joy: Open!"
Green steam suddenly erupted from Might Guy's body!
His weight-covered leg fiercely shattered a tree trunk that was attacking them!
"Follow me and break through! Morning Peacock!"
Countless punches and kicks struck the air, and the high-speed shockwaves quickly carved a path through the forest!
At Might Guy's side, due to the high-speed friction with the air, bursts of flame bloomed, as stunning as a peacock spreading its tail!
This kind of taijutsu was unheard of!
"Guy-senpai, well done… huff…" Yamato勉强 gave a thumbs-up. He didn't have much strength left and could only follow closely behind Might Guy under Kisame Hoshigaki's support as they charged out!
Might Guy shattered the attacking trees and branches in the forest with his fists and feet. "The Noble Blue Beast of Konoha, on this very day...!"
BAM!
A giant fist smashed into Might Guy, embedding him in the ground!
A gray wooden golem stood in their way, and on the bridge of the golem's nose stood Hashirama Senju with his hands clasped. "Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
"Aaaah! The Seventh Gate! The Gate of Shock…!" Might Guy roared as he jumped out of the ground, his chakra aura astonishing!
"Guy! Be rational!"
The Samehada greatsword blocked his movement!
Kisame Hoshigaki said softly, "Against the reanimated First Hokage, taijutsu is not very effective. He can recover at any time. I will hold him off…"
"Mr. Kisame!"
Yamato looked at Kisame in surprise. The shark-faced youth before him was not just a member sent by the Hidden Mist to form the joint reconnaissance squad with them. His identity was extremely important; he was currently the most powerful person in the Hidden Mist Village!
If not for his repeated refusals, this person would already be the Fifth Mizukage! If Kisame Hoshigaki were to die here, there was a high probability that the road of friendship between Konoha and the Hidden Mist would be severed!
Might Guy wouldn't concern himself with so much. He just nodded and said, "Alright! I'll take Yamato out first! I'll bring Itachi back with me!"
"Ha… it doesn't matter…"
Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled lightly and held the Samehada greatsword horizontally. "Just protect yourselves! I won't die here!"
"Mr. Kisame, in any case, be careful!" Might Guy left these words, got up, and carried Yamato on his back, disappearing from the spot in a few leaps!
Kisame Hoshigaki nodded in satisfaction. Being teammates with a simple-minded and straightforward guy like Might Guy was just this refreshing. When he said he'd go, he'd go, with no fuss.
However… now it was his turn.
His chakra reserves were equally massive, and he was hailed in the ninja world as the "Tailed Beast Without a Tail"… Logically, he should be able to tangle with the First Hokage for a long time.
However, a battle between ninjas was not a math problem!
Never mind that Kisame was the Tailed Beast Without a Tail; even if his chakra was comparable to the Nine-Tails, the result would probably not be much different…
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the towering wood golem, formed a hand seal, and spewed out a massive torrent of water. "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
However, in the blink of an eye, the Great Waterfall Technique, which was comparable to a lake or an ocean, had its chakra completely absorbed by the forest below…
Hashirama Senju didn't even need to use other ninjutsu; the branches of the forest on the ground would automatically absorb the chakra of the enemy's ninjutsu.
"In that case… Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
Kisame勉强 used the remaining water from the Great Waterfall Technique to cast the Water Dragon Jutsu. A giant dragon of water charged towards Hashirama Senju atop the wood golem!
Midway, a giant wooden dragon suddenly emerged from the wood golem, met the water dragon head-on, and absorbed all the chakra of the Water Dragon Jutsu!
Only then did Hashirama Senju clap his hands together. "Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
It was hard to even see if this guy had formed any hand seals. One only saw his jutsu had already launched its attack, and only then did he call out the name of the jutsu…
You're a bit slow on the uptake, Lord First Hokage!
"This situation is really unfavorable…"
Kisame Hoshigaki's expression was exceptionally ugly as he watched the chakra of his two Water Style ninjutsu being absorbed by Hashirama Senju's Wood Style…
The Monster of the Mist, who had relied on absorbing the enemy's chakra all his life, was now having his own chakra absorbed… Could this be the cycle of karma?
