Chapter 1412: Hashirama Senju Shocks Everyone! (Three Chapters in One)
Under the double stacking of the Thunder Wolf Dragon Human Beast Form and Black Lightning Chakra Mode.
Ay's combat power received an explosive linear increase.
At this moment, even facing the 'Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands' unleashed by Hashirama Senju, he was not at a disadvantage.
In fact, as the battle time dragged on, Garp, Sengoku, Kaido, and others could see that Ay was steadily suppressing Hashirama Senju, starting to inflict some damage.
It was just that Hashirama Senju's Sage Body had extremely strong self-healing ability, causing any wound that appeared to quickly recover instantly.
Similarly, in the fierce battle, Ay was constantly facing the bombardment of countless golden fist shadows.
However, the protection provided by the Black Lightning Chakra Mode, the physique boost from the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and his inherent body strength that even a Rasengan couldn't even harm.
These factors caused the power of any attack to be weakened layer by layer, making it difficult to inflict substantial injuries.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju and Ay truly met their match.
The intense clash between the Thousand-Hand Golden Buddha and the Thunder Dragon Human had long since completely destroyed the overwhelmed Wood Golem, turning it into broken wood fragments scattered across the battlefield.
Now, the entire Area RL1111 was filled with dazzling golden radiance and black and white intertwined lightning flashes.
The continuous energy explosions and sonic boom roars turned the entire battlefield into a terrifying wasteland where living beings could not survive.
This was the Summit War! This was the Summit Lord!
A contest between the World Government's highest combat power, gambling for the Admiral position!
However, the Sea Ninja Village's 'Five Kage' were not yet fully formed, so Ay didn't need to defeat Hashirama Senju; he only needed to pass this assessment.
"Ah----"
Wano Island, Kibi, inside the Sea Shadow office within the Sea Ninja Village.
Tengen Uzui, the Second Sea Shadow with a handsome appearance and adorned with jewels.
At this moment, he was looking at the earth-shattering Two Kage Battle on the virtual screen with a melancholic mood.
As the Sea Shadow, he was naturally happy that Ay possessed such powerful combat power.
At least from his current performance, Ay definitely had the qualification to obtain the 'Raikage' title.
Furthermore, Ay had told him before that if there wasn't a suitable ninja to take over the 'Lightning Minister' position in the village temporarily, he could continue to hold the position concurrently until a suitable candidate appeared.
What Tengen Uzui was melancholic about now was his own strength and talent.
His strength had not seen any significant improvement for a long time.
No matter how hard he trained in the Gravity Training Ground, he just couldn't get the desired results.
This made him realize that his potential might have been almost fully tapped.
And this was the potential after injecting the Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum.
Tengen Uzui had asked the Biochemical Research Institute if he could continue injecting newer Perfect Cell Enhancement Serums, such as Type-II or Type-III.
Because he knew that the later the model number, the higher the potential obtained.
But to his surprise, the other party's answer was that the cells in a normal human body could only withstand one enhancement; otherwise, unpredictable dangers could easily occur.
In other words, whether it was Type-I, Type-II, or Type-III, most people could only receive one injection in their lifetime.
Therefore, injecting a newer enhanced serum was definitely better than injecting an older one.
However, the price was also more expensive, and due to output issues, it might require a long waiting time.
Tengen Uzui didn't know if this was true; in any case, that was the reply from the Biochemical Research Institute.
This made him sigh in his heart, thinking that although joining the World Government early had many benefits, there were also such helpless situations.
After all, the later the Otherworlder joined the World Government, the higher the quality of resources they could enjoy.
When the Demon Slayer World was conquered, there was only the Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum; there was no choice at all.
In short, Tengen Uzui's current situation was that his strength seemed unable to advance further.
Although his combat power, comparable to a Vice Admiral, was already very strong.
It was far stronger than when he was the 'Sound Hashira' in the Demon Slayer Corps back then, by countless times.
Now, he was even capable of suppressing the Tailed Beasts of the Ninja World.
But the problem was that this strength didn't match the Sea Kage position.
Logically speaking, the Sea Kage was the supreme leader of the Sea Ninja Village.
Even Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the Wood Shadow and Hokage, had to accept the Sea Kage's orders.
So his strength, even if not the strongest ninja, should be on the same level as the 'Five Kage'.
However, he was currently on par with the 'Five Ministers', who were a rank lower.
Furthermore, he couldn't guarantee a win against any of the four: Ōnoki, Uchiha Fugaku, Masato Hyuga, and Rasa.
This was simply too awkward!
Tengen Uzui was now experiencing the mood that the First Sea Kage, Fukurokuju, had felt before.
But did he also have to abdicate and yield to a worthy successor?
The crucial point was that the World Government wouldn't allow it.
No matter what, the Sea Ninja Village was now classified under the military faction and directly under the jurisdiction of the Command Department.
How could they change two generations of Sea Kage in less than six years?
The key was that they weren't even dead...
But if Tengen Uzui continued to stay in the position, he truly felt that the chair under his butt made him feel like sitting on pins and needles! Like a thorn in his side! Like walking on thin ice!
"How could this happen? Back then, I was considered a genius-type pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps..."
Tengen Uzui leaned back weakly against the chair, covering his eyes with his right palm, no longer watching the battle on the screen, feeling the bitter mood in solitude.
"Fortunately, I still have one path. If I can master Sage Mode, my strength should be able to improve another level, even if it can only last for a short time..."
The strength of the successive Sea Kage of the Sea Ninja Village seems to be the opposite of Konohagakure.
The successive Hokage of Konohagakure generally got weaker and weaker, while the Sea Ninja Village got stronger and stronger.
This put immense pressure on every previous Sea Kage.
The battle between Hashirama Senju and Ay was still ongoing.
They fought from noon under the scorching sun to evening with the moon hanging on the treetops, and then from the morning sun rising to the night curtain falling.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, the two had fought non-stop for three days and three nights!
During this period, neither gave the other a chance to rest, pouring out all their strength and means.
At least, that was the case for Ay.
He had no trump cards left; he was truly fighting with full strength, just to secure his 'Raikage' title!
Lest it be snatched away by ninjas from other Ninja Villages, or even Other Worlds, which was the matter he could least accept.
Meanwhile.
Hashirama Senju, having fought until now, was thoroughly enjoying himself.
He laughed heartily from the bottom of his heart, occasionally accompanied by roars that echoed through the sky.
Although he had thought about it many times, he still wanted to say that it was truly great to have joined the World Government!
Before, only Madara Uchiha could fight with him, and honestly, sometimes he felt bored because he always won in the end.
But ever since the World Government descended, first Aramaki, then Kuzan, Hong Lian, and Sengoku.
Now, even the Third Raikage, who was also a Ninja World person, could grow to a point where he could confront him directly.
The crucial point was that he hadn't defeated Kuzan and Sengoku yet, which made it so interesting!
Yes, the defeated Hashirama Senju felt happy about this.
He had won too much and began to long for stronger opponents.
Ay's expression, however, became increasingly heavy. Having fought until now, he began to feel subtly uneasy.
Firstly, Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode was very strange.
Logically, this mode's duration was very short; even with his exceptional talent, it shouldn't have lasted until now.
Didn't they say that once the sage mode chakra was used up, he would exit Sage Mode?
Also, although the scene currently looked like an even match, with him even slightly suppressing Hashirama Senju.
He didn't see the slightest ripple in Hashirama Senju's eyes; he was still as confident as ever.
Why?
However, Ay also didn't know if his stamina and chakra could outlast Hashirama Senju.
Anyway, he was already starting to feel fatigue now. Even though he was only facing Hashirama Senju alone.
But the pressure he brought and the consumption he caused were definitely far greater than being surrounded by ten thousand ninjas.
However, what Ay didn't know was that Hashirama Senju, who was maintaining 'Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands' and fighting fiercely with him, was also feeling conflicted in his heart at this moment.
"Should I use my All Creation Body, or not?"
The All Creation Body was the true Sage Body he formed after transplanting Madara Uchiha's cells and combining the Indra's Chakra and Asura's Chakra within his body.
It was equivalent to the Rinnegan awakened by Madara Uchiha, and could also be seen as an ancestral reversion to the Ōtsutsuki physique.
If he entered the 'All Creation Body' state, his strength would naturally improve further.
At the same time, Ay's hope of dragging the battle to the fifth day would become even more slim.
It was estimated that the battle could end in less than half a day.
Then, according to the rules of the Summit War, he would be judged as having failed the challenge and would not be able to obtain the Raikage title of the Sea Ninja Village.
But Hashirama Senju believed that the current Ay had the qualification to become 'one of the Five Kage'.
So he was thinking about whether he shouldn't overdo it and just fight in his current state until the end?
Otherwise, if Ay truly failed the challenge, he would have to wait another four years...
While Hashirama Senju was feeling conflicted, the moon set again, the sun rose, and the bright sunlight descended upon this vast sea of trees.
Finally, he made a decision.
[Boom!]
Countless golden fist shadows knocked Ay back, and then suddenly stopped their offensive.
This caused Ay, who was enveloped in a deep blue chakra aura with black and white lightning intertwined, to instinctively stop his movement, halting his preparation to charge forward again.
At the same time, it was also giving himself a little breathing time; he was truly tired.
However, he just couldn't inflict decisive heavy injuries on Hashirama Senju.
He truly admired this First Hokage, now the Sea Ninja Mokage; the God of Shinobi was indeed worthy of the name!
"Next, I will use my true full strength. I hope you can hold on, even if you just dodge and drag it out."
"But no matter what, in my Hashirama Senju's heart, you are the Raikage."
Hashirama Senju stood on the broken arm wreckage of the Wood Golem, the Thousand-Hand Buddha around him still shining with golden light.
But his words caused Ay's expression in the air to change drastically.
"What! He hasn't used all his strength yet?!"
Ay was in disbelief, even somewhat doubting if Hashirama Senju was trying to scare him.
But this idea vanished instantly, less than a second after it was born.
From the past few days of combat, he had gained a good understanding of Hashirama Senju.
He knew that this bold and upright man would not use such underhanded means.
So he truly still had a trump card!
"One day, there's still one day. I won't hold back, because this is my respect for you..."
Hashirama Senju murmured softly, closed his eyes, and pressed his palms together in front of his chest.
He began to activate the deeper level of power within his body.
Ay and all the big shots who were paying attention to this Summit War saw his originally black long hair and brownish-yellow skin color begin to turn white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The green markings at the corners of his eyes, which symbolized Sage Mode, also began to disappear.
Soon, Hashirama Senju transformed into a silver-haired appearance with double horns on his head and exceptionally white skin color.
When he suddenly opened his eyes, the scarlet Sharingan reappeared, and three black Tomoe slowly rotated within them.
This was the All Creation Body, the manifestation of the Ōtsutsuki physique!
[Boom——————]
The next moment.
The shocked Ay saw the Thousand-Hand Buddha on Hashirama Senju's body suddenly burst into brilliant radiance and rapidly expand and grow larger.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed from ten-odd meters to a Colossus reaching a hundred meters tall!
Similar to Madara Uchiha's Fourth Stage Susanoo...
"This! This!"
At this moment, Ay was dumbfounded, looking up at the Thousand-Hand Buddha that filled his entire vision. The golden light
Under the double stacking of the Thunder Wolf Dragon Human Beast Form and Black Lightning Chakra Mode.
Ay's combat power received an explosive linear increase.
At this moment, even facing the 'Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands' unleashed by Hashirama Senju, he was not at a disadvantage.
In fact, as the battle time dragged on, Garp, Sengoku, Kaido, and others could see that Ay was steadily suppressing Hashirama Senju, starting to inflict some damage.
