"You've got to be kidding, this kind of power…"
On the other side, Naruto and Sasuke, who were rapidly approaching, were also somewhat stunned, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
Looking at the continuously roaring wooden statue and the terrifying aura emanating from it, they involuntarily gulped hard.
"This is Hashirama and Madara…"
Kurama's voice began to echo. It didn't seem unfamiliar with everything before it, after all, it had endured it.
"But that Ōtsutsuki, he's only going to be worse than imagined."
"What do you know?"
Naruto asked curiously, but Kurama didn't answer the question.
Sasuke, on the other hand, took a deep breath.
"Let's speed up. No matter who the enemy is, we must do something, even if it's just to buy Takemi some time."
"Tch, I know."
Naruto stopped pressing Kurama and also nodded, saying, "Let's speed up!"
The two figures quickly moved through the Chakra storm and torrent, while Hashirama and Madara's expressions on top of the wooden statue grew increasingly grim.
"This level of attack was actually blocked with a casual wave of the hand?"
Their faces were filled with disbelief. This was already the strongest power they could currently use. Moreover, they felt that they were getting closer and closer to truly coming back to life. If they didn't handle this well now, they might be eliminated as soon as they revived.
However, no matter what they thought, it was already useless. The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack mercilessly shattered everything. They could only watch as the Susanoo-clad fists continuously shattered. Even if endless fists kept replenishing, it was futile.
And the opponent's power grew stronger and stronger. Finally, the moment the last fist was shattered, Takeshiki's voice rang out once again.
"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. After all, you already had a clear understanding of battle, but now you're constantly regressing."
In the sky, golden light shone. Hashirama and Madara suddenly looked up. At some point, Takeshiki had already flown into the sky.
The sword in his hand was dazzling, and his words were calm.
"At our level, it is never just a battle of Chakra. That's not necessarily good, especially for me."
As he spoke, Takeshiki didn't give Hashirama and Madara more time to think.
The golden sword, radiating dazzling light, suddenly descended, its fierce power still causing the entire sky to glow golden.
"Watch out!"
Seemingly sensing the deadly power echoing, both Hashirama and Madara's expressions were extremely grim. They wanted to defend, but they could only watch helplessly as the golden light penetrated the body of the Susanoo-clad wooden statue. And with the continuous surge of power, their Susanoo-clad wooden statue seemed utterly powerless to resist, and was suddenly cut in half.
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was a super-powerful combat technique capable of directly slicing the moon. No matter how astonishing the attack power or how strong the defense of the Susanoo-clad wooden statue was, facing a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion of Takeshiki's caliber, it was completely powerless to resist.
"Damn it…"
Tobirama's face was incredibly grim, and Minato was speechless at this moment. Could such a person truly be dealt with?
"Tch, that guy Takeshiki …"
On the other side, Isshiki and Urashiki, who were resisting the wills of Obito and Kimimaro while being beaten up by Takemi's God Tree Clone, also felt a huge impact. They could sense the strength of that wooden statue, such a technique would be fatal even if it landed on them.
But Takeshiki could actually cut it directly. How much energy does he possess?!
This question kept echoing in their minds, and they also developed a greater doubt.
To what extent did Takeshiki have to reach to truly be at the end of the Path to Godhood?
He seemed to be already incredibly strong.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly seeing the collapsing wooden statue, the Allied Shinobi Forces, who had already assembled, let out a heart-wrenching roar. Even from far away, they knew that such an impact landing on them would definitely be fatal.
"All ninjas who can use Earth Release, immediately cast Earth-Style Wall to block that wave of impact!"
All the commanders made decisive decisions, immediately issuing commands. In an instant, walls of earth rose from the ground.
Summoning: Quintuple Rashomon!
Hashirama, who had fallen from the wooden statue, immediately formed hand signs. In an instant, five giant demon-faced iron gates quickly stood up. The giant gates stood in front of them served as the first line of defense.
The next moment, the wooden statue completely collapsed, and a violent mushroom-shaped cloud of dust billowed up.
The entire earth trembled, and cracks like deep valleys extended outwards, continuously. Viewed from high above, these cracks seemed to cover the earth like a spiderweb.
A shockwave, dozens of stories high, rolled with dust all over the sky, also spreading outwards.
The Quintuple Rashomon shattered in the blink of an eye, and the stone forest constructed by the Earth-Style Wall behind it was also annihilated in an instant. Fortunately, the main body of the Allied Forces was quite far away. Even though they couldn't escape and were swept by this shockwave, with each one scattered, it was still better than the White Zetsu Army who were relatively closer.
Under such an impact, a large portion of the White Zetsu Army was instantly killed or injured.
However, no one felt happy. Witnessing Takeshiki so effortlessly and completely defeat the god-like First Hokage and Madara made their hearts collapse. Even when they jointly used the Susanoo-clad True Several Thousand Hands, it was the same.
"Fifth Hokage-sama…"
Their gazes involuntarily turned to the other side, to Takemi, who was still steadily fighting in the torrent of Chakra.
"Ninja World, it really depends on you."
Such terrifying attacks left everyone in the Ninja World in a daze, as they watched the figure in the sky, where the smoke and dust automatically dispersed, still bathed in the moonlight.
Their hearts were all in a trance, but the Ninja World did not lack those who faced fear head-on.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
"Sorry, sorry, we're late!"
With golden and purple Chakra surging, Sasuke and Naruto each caught Madara and Hashirama, who were falling from high in the sky.
Naruto even had the presence of mind to shrug with a smile, but as Sasuke stared at the figure above, he suddenly noticed something.
"You two, how..."
"Came back to life, right?"
Hashirama chuckled, a little breathless, his peripheral vision sweeping over Madara beside him.
"It's this guy's jutsu. While it's good to breathe the air of the Ninja World again, this feeling isn't so great."
"Idiot."
Madara cursed under his breath, but soon he had no time for more words, because his eyes shattered at that moment. The Rinnegan of Edo Tensei was merely a reflection of power, not real at all.
Fortunately, the ground suddenly surged at this moment, and then the weakened figure of Black Zetsu appeared.
"Madara-sama, I have recovered your eyes."
"Tch, this guy."
Naruto and Sasuke both frowned. They weren't familiar with Black Zetsu, but the aura emanating from him made them uncomfortable.
However, now was not the time to think about such things, and they quickly couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Takemi, is he alright?"
"Takemi is fine. An Ōtsutsuki was released by him, but his revival might take some time." Black Zetsu spoke with a mix of truth and lies.
He was feeling somewhat dazed, especially looking at these four people beside him, his mind couldn't process it.
He was now actually teaming up with the two generations of Indra and Asura?
But he quickly stopped thinking about it. The most urgent matter was still Takeshiki.
"Madara-sama, please immediately absorb the Ten-Tails and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. This way, you can better deal with everything."
