Seeing that Hashirama Senju had launched an attack, the Nine-Tails' armor sprouted two arms, each wielding a large sword, and slashed down at Hashirama Senju.
Just as the sword was about to strike Hashirama Senju, Hashirama manipulated the surrounding trees to conjure two hands that caught the sword as it came down. "Tianqi, I have already seen through your attack," Hashirama said, and began to form hand seals.
"Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique" Instantly, dozens of giant wooden hands grew around the Nine-Tails, reaching out to grab the Nine-Tails in an attempt to restrict its movements.
Tian Qi looked at the giant hands that appeared around the Nine-Tails and smiled contemptuously. Heh, this kind of trash move is too easy to counter. Tian Qi controlled the Susanoo arms that were holding swords in both hands, and the two swords slashed horizontally, instantly destroying all the wooden hands around.
With the wooden hand destroyed, the sword energy dissipated, and Hashirama Senju immediately ran away from the attack range of the sword energy.
"Hashirama Senju, let me see how you're going to block this attack, Nine-Tails!"
"Understood, Lord Tianqi!" The Nine-Tailed Fox condensed its Tailed Beast Ball and began to cooperate with Tianqi.
The Tailed Beast Ball was launched at Hashirama Senju, and as the Tailed Beast Ball was launched, the greatsword on the arm of Susanoo Tenchi also slashed out with sword energy.
The energy of the sword and the Tailed Beast Ball met in mid-air, and the two energies merged directly into one, forming the Sage Art: Giant Rasenshuriken. The enormous Rasenshuriken rushed towards Hashirama Senju.
As soon as Hashirama Senju stopped running and turned around, he saw a huge energy ball attacking him. Without hesitation, he bit his finger to defend himself.
"Summoning Technique - Fivefold Rashomon" Five enormous demon-faced gates blocked Hashirama Senju's path.
Seeing the five Rashomon gates appear, Tian Qi frowned slightly. He knew he couldn't stop them from trying to change the trajectory of his attack with Rashomon. Hashirama Senju's reaction speed was really fast.
Just as Tianqi had predicted, the energy of the Spiral Shuriken aimed at Hashirama Senju shifted slightly after breaking through the Rashomon gates. It was this slight shift that allowed Hashirama Senju to successfully dodge the attack.
The attack missed Hashirama Senju and flew towards the mountains behind him. With a "bang," the attack crashed into the mountains and exploded, instantly leveling the five mountains to the ground.
As the five mountains in the distance disappeared, Hashirama Senju was somewhat surprised. They were incredibly strong, even stronger than Madara was back then. It seemed he was really going to suffer a crushing defeat here.
Tobirama Senju was dumbfounded when he saw Tenchi's attack. "Damn it, what are we supposed to do with this kind of power? This is just bullying an honest person!"
Seeing the shocked Hashirama Senju, Tenru smiled and said, "Hashirama Senju, how was my move? Pretty powerful, huh? My strength isn't weak right now. You'd better use all your power, or you're doomed this time."
Seeing that he was no match for the opponent, Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, gathering Sage Chakra while pleading, "Tianqi, stop fighting! Let's end this battle here. Do you want to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village that your father and I created, and all the ninjas of Hidden Leaf Village?"
"Tianqi, think it over carefully. There's absolutely nothing you can do to fight me. You wouldn't want more innocent ninjas to die, would you? Your wife, your comrades, and your clansmen are among the Konoha ninjas. Do you really want to see Tsunade and her clansmen die tragically at your hands?"
"Tianqi, I know you're a good kid. You're different from Ban; you love peace. Besides, we're family. Please stop, Tianqi!"
Hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Tian Qi said with a disdainful look: "The battle has come to this point, do you think it's possible to persuade me with words? Hashirama Senju, stop lecturing me here, I won't fall for your tricks. Today it's either you die or I'm busy. I will definitely break your undefeated myth."
Seeing that his words were ineffective, Hashirama Senju repeated the same words he had once said to Madara: "Tianqi, stop now, I don't want to kill you."
Tian Qi immediately looked at Hashirama Senju with a serious expression, "You mean you can kill me at any time?"
Hashirama Senju stared intently at Tianqi. "No, I mean, we're family. I don't want to see Tsunade heartbroken for you."
Hearing this, Tianqi's temper flared up as well. "Senju Hashirama, stop bringing Tsunade up with you! Who the hell is related to a despicable bastard like you? You killed my father and then suppressed my Uchiha clan in every way. Is this what you call family? Stop spouting nonsense!!!"
"Roar!... The Nine-Tailed Fox also roared in response to Tian Qi's roar."
Seeing that he couldn't reason with Tianqi and had already gathered all the Sage Chakra, Hashirama Senju decided to take a gamble. He had no other choice and didn't know if he had enough chakra to unleash the True Several Thousand Hands.
"Sage Technique..." Hashirama Senju instantly unleashed powerful chakra, and the unique sage mask appeared on his face. His long hair fluttered in the wind, but his Thousand-Armed Buddha did not appear.
Tianqi also looked at Hashirama Senju with curiosity. What was this old guy doing? Wasn't he supposed to use the True Thousand Hands Great Buddha? Why was he just releasing chakra without the Great Buddha appearing? Was he releasing chakra for fun? Was he a goofball?
Tianqi was unaware that Hashirama Senju's current strength was far from sufficient to unleash the True Several Thousand Hands technique.
As Hashirama Senju unleashed his chakra, the Allied Shinobi Forces and Tobirama Senju appeared behind him.
"Big brother, I'm here to help you!" Tobirama Senju placed his hand on his older brother's back and began to channel chakra into him.
"First Hashirama, we've arrived too!" Hiruzen Sarutobi led a group of Konoha ninja to Hashirama Senju's side, each of them placing their hands on the other, forming a long line, and began transferring their chakra.
"First Hokage, we're here to help you too!" The other four Kage also led the ninjas from their respective villages to transfer chakra to Hashirama Senju.
Hashirama Senju looked at the tens of thousands of ninjas behind him and smiled with satisfaction. This was the benefit of having comrades; this feeling was wonderful.
Tianqi looked at Senju Hashirama with curiosity. The body reanimated by Edo Tensei has a limit to the amount of chakra it can hold. The chakra transferred by these ninjas is useless. What is Senju Hashirama trying to do? This kind of useless transfer is meaningless.
Hashirama Senju, who was at the very front, also noticed the problem. With so many ninjas channeling chakra into him, he should have been able to unleash the True Several Thousand Hands technique long ago. Why hadn't his chakra increased? "Everyone, increase the chakra supply! Don't give up!"
With a shout from Hashirama Senju, tens of thousands of ninjas desperately channeled their chakra. Tianqi stood with his arms crossed, watching them. He finally understood that Hashirama Senju couldn't possibly use the True Several Thousand Hands technique. He was certain to win this battle.
Just when Tianqi thought he had the victory in the bag, the power of heaven and earth began to bless Hashirama Senju, the chosen one. Suddenly, a variable appeared: Hashirama Senju's chakra broke through the limit and rushed towards the zero point. In an instant, Hashirama Senju absorbed 90% of the chakra of all the ninjas.
All the ninjas, having lost a large amount of chakra, collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Tianqi's eyes widened in shock at the sudden turn of events. "Holy crap! The Edo Tensei body can even break through the chakra limit and accommodate chakra transferred from others? Is this some kind of joke? Hashirama Senju is such a cheater, he's using cheats, I'm going to report him!"
Just as all the ninjas collapsed to the ground, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully launching the Second Shinobi World War and simultaneously declaring war on four shinobi villages. Since the Allied Shinobi Forces have lost their combat capabilities, the system has determined that the host has successfully completed the mission.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 500,000 points and one opportunity to upgrade your Sharingan.]
"Hahahahahaha..." Hearing the long-lost voice of the system, Tian Qi burst out laughing. Senju Hashirama, you still dare to cheat? Everyone has cheats. So what if you broke through? Watch how I'll destroy you this time.
Tianqi did not immediately exchange for the Ten-Tails and upgrade his Sharingan. This time, he planned to have some fun, give the Allied Shinobi Forces some hope first, and then shatter all their hopes and make them completely despair once they thought they could defeat him.
