After a direct punch with Akeshiki, Senju Tobirama quickly realized that the enemy before him was far beyond what this Susanoo could defeat.
Even with the combined forces of the entire Ninja World.
It was evident that Akeshiki was not yet serious, and was merely exploring the combat techniques and characteristics of the Ninja World out of curiosity and as a test...
But Senju Tobirama was not discouraged; instead, he became even more focused.
Because from the very beginning, Senju Tobirama completely trusted Aomi's judgment.
If Aomi considered this enemy to be troublesome, then it wasn't about whether the Ninja World was united or not...
It was a qualitative gap.
Even if this Combined Jutsu could convert the advantage in numbers into combat power against a powerful enemy...
It was to no avail.
Because Aomi would have considered this.
If effective, Senju Tobirama did not think Aomi was so stubborn and rigid as to insist on facing the enemy alone...
As the Fourth Hokage designated long ago by Senju Tobirama, Aomi, despite having a great love in his heart, had also learned some flexibility about the Will of Fire through immersion.
The reason why Aomi suggested the ninja retreat...
It could only prove that Aomi did not think this Susanoo could defeat the enemy, not even he himself was confident even if he gave his all...
The total assault might mean total annihilation.
But the more it was like that, the more it showed that this battle in which the Ninja World paved the way for Aomi was of extreme importance and necessity!
In battles at the same level, intelligence is always the foremost resource...
Senju Tobirama needs to engage with Akeshiki in as many ways as possible to probe the strength of this terrifying enemy, ideally forcing out one or two trump card jutsus...
After the order was given.
Obito and Izuna quickly withdrew from the battlefield; the direct clash was not the field these two excelled at.
They were replaced by Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Indra, and Asura...
Centered around Senju Tobirama, these four positioned themselves to his north, south, east, and west, forming a sharp diamond shape.
At this moment, the Chakra supply of the Ninja World was within them!
"Let's go, Hashirama!" Uchiha Madara, feeling the surging Chakra within him, shouted with a maniacal grin.
The sensation of wielding the power of the entire Ninja World in battle, even for the Ninja World Asura who had seen many grand scenes, was exhilarating beyond measure against such a formidable enemy.
"Madara, let's show the enemy the power of our alliance!"
Senju Hashirama, usually appearing dazed and playful, became sharp-eyed and spirited during the battle, being the God of the Ninja World.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: Top Transformed Buddha"!
"Complete Form of Susanoo: Full Power"!
And on the side.
Asura and Indra exchanged glances.
A bemused smile appeared at the corner of Asura's mouth. It seemed like since his elder brother helped him catch fish and they cooked meals together in their early tens, the brothers had never fought side by side like today, but had instead stood on an unwillingly opposing side.
Although Akeshiki's momentum was terrifying and stunning.
In Asura's view, being able to fight alongside the brother he had long admired and revered, for the peace of the Ninja World...
In a sense, it was worthwhile!
"Indra... brother! We mustn't lose to our reincarnations!"
Asura called Indra "brother" after a long time, giving a thumbs-up to Indra while exerting all his strength to unleash his Chakra:
"Let's fight together for the peace of the Ninja World!"
"You're so foolish it leaves me speechless..."
The aloof Indra looked at his naive-faced brother, wanting to say something hurtful but found himself unable to.
A strange warmth crossed his heart.
"But you did say one thing right! Those two are merely lucky kids who gained our Chakra by chance, the real protectors of peace in the Ninja World are us two!"
Indra, like Uchiha Madara, showed a fierce and excited smile: "Let the enemy see how strong we are... Asura!"
"Yes! Brother!"
At this moment.
The most outstanding clan leaders and ancestors of the Senju and Uchiha Clans exploded with terrifying Chakra!
Wood Release! Dojutsu!
The armor of Aomi's Susanoo became more solid and heavy, showing a layer of extremely dense ebony-black wood, making the killing intent of this Martial God almost tangible!
As if with a mere gesture, it could topple the whole land and tear the endless sky!
The Six Paths Sage silently watched the scene unfold, and after a moment, a quiet smile appeared on his lips.
Brothers set aside their differences to fight for the peace of the Ninja World... this scene was something the Six Paths Sage dared not even dream of.
After all, his eldest son, Indra, never forgave him even when he was on his deathbed...
"Good children! Though my combat skills may not be much, when it comes to Chakra level, it still depends on me!"
The Six Paths Sage's eyes gleamed, his fingers tapped continuously.
The Chakra within him poured unreservedly into the Susanoo, and in the sky above, within the Pure Land, a rift quickly appeared behind Aomi's Susanoo.
A vast amount of gray energy surged into the Susanoo Martial God.
This was an alternate space of the Pure Land established with special Dojutsu over a millennium by the Six Paths Sage, absorbing the souls of countless strong individuals.
