Chapter 204 Hashirama: What is the True Descent of the Tree World?
A rumbling sound rang out, and the surrounding trees, under Orochimaru's technique, transformed into his subordinates and began to extend towards Hashirama.
Seeing this scene before him, Hashirama's lips twitched.
He, the mighty god of the ninja world and the creator of Wood Release, has actually been slapped in the face with Wood Release by someone else?!
I can't stand even a little bit.
As Orochimaru watched Naruto and the others about to be engulfed by the wave of trees, his earlier speculation was once again filled with self-doubt.
"Little Tsuna" refers to Tsunade, right? Who would use that term to address Tsunade?
Even the Third Hokage couldn't call her that; in Konoha, only her parents and grandfathers could.
But most of them are dead.
But now, suddenly an unknown person appears and asks him where his Wood Release came from and how Tsunade is doing.
In addition, there's information that Naruto knows Wood Release...
Orochimaru sensed something was wrong. Actually, he could have left already, but...
If my guess is true, then that means...
The feasibility of immortality!
If it is one of those two, then it means that there is a connection between the Pure Land and the present world.
This also explains why he was unable to resurrect those two using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
The two people Orochimaru mentioned were naturally the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Orochimaru initially thought that Tobirama had done something to them because he couldn't resurrect them using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but now it seems there's another explanation.
"Um... Uncle Hashirama, is everything alright?"
Hinata tugged at Naruto's sleeve. Although she felt he was alright, she could step in if things got really bad.
Hashirama shook his head, looked at Hinata with the kind of look an old father has for his son's possession, and then laughed, "Hahaha, no problem."
"When it comes to using Wood Release in front of me, aside from Madara, I would call you the bravest!"
Hashirama clasped his hands together, and red patterns ignited near Naruto's eye sockets, forming a circular pattern on his forehead.
[Wood Release: Sage Art: The World of Flower Trees Descends!]
Sasuke and Karin saw Hashirama clasp his hands together, and then the ground began to tremble rapidly. The surging wave of trees was blocked by a huge flower bud bursting out from the ground, followed by an even more violent wave of trees.
The gentle tree roots lifted Hinata and the others up, while Hashirama stared at Orochimaru, who was fleeing through the Flower Tree World, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.
Finally, I have another chance to show off. I've been watching other people show off in anime all the time, but now I finally have the chance to do it myself.
Hehe, and I even have three juniors behind me as my audience, it's so awesome.
Hashirama was having a good time, but Orochimaru was in a completely different situation.
It's all over! It's all over! It's all over!
Orochimaru's lower body turned into a snake, and he ran quickly on the ground. Why didn't he hide in the ground? Because the ground was also where Hashirama's plants grew.
Although he appeared flustered, he got the answer he wanted.
So, the person who just took over Naruto's consciousness was Hashirama Senju?
Tsunade's grandfather, the God of Shinobi, and the founder of Wood Release.
From this perspective, it seems like I was just showing off my limited skills in front of him.
A huge flower bud burst forth on Orochimaru's escape route, spraying out yellow pollen.
Orochimaru hardened his heart, then spat out a snake from his mouth, while his own body entangled with the waves of trees.
After resisting for about five breaths, Orochimaru was overwhelmed by the tree wave. Then, a hard and thick tree root wrapped around Orochimaru and sent him to Hashirama's front.
"Ahem, as expected of the God of the Ninja World."
Orochimaru spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Naruto with his black pupils, and said tremblingly.
"That's not important. You haven't answered my question yet."
Hashirama was concerned about Tsunade's condition and worried that she had been tricked by Orochimaru.
"She's probably gambling at some casino now, right? It was you, First Master, who taught her to gamble there."
Hashirama stiffened for a moment, then asked, "So you didn't do anything to Tsuna?"
Orochimaru gave Hashirama an innocent look, then said, "Do you think I would harm a teammate who has saved my life many times?"
If we really have to take action, it'll have to be your cells.
Hashirama froze again, turned his head, and scratched his head.
"Hahaha, really, well, cough cough, so where did you get your Wood Release technique?"
Orochimaru, seeing Hashirama's art style suddenly collapse, felt for a moment that the image of the God of Shinobi seemed to have been ruined.
"That's a success after studying your cells."
Orochimaru omitted the existence of White Zetsu, since Hashirama probably didn't know about Madara's existence. However, since Hashirama has returned, then Madara...
"Huh? Me? Oh, me."
Hashirama thought about it and realized that it seemed his younger brother had started this whole thing.
The research on my own cells—if I hadn't been summoned back to life while studying the Impure World Reincarnation that day, I wouldn't have known that I would suffer so much after my death.
"It's almost time. I never expected to meet you today. I'm truly flattered."
Orochimaru coughed again, and under Hashirama's initially embarrassed and then puzzled gaze, he closed his eyes and transformed into a snake skin.
Wait, snakeskin?!
"It seems he escaped. Orochimaru was very good at escaping even when he was still part of Konoha."
Minato's voice rang out as he explained to Hashirama.
"The Orochi Style Substitution Technique, according to Jiraiya-sensei, is a disgusting but also very powerful substitution technique. It was like that back then, and after so many years of development, I didn't expect it to be so powerful now."
Hashirama's expression changed from giggling to no longer giggling.
He manipulated the tree roots to throw the snakeskin into the air.
There's a rumor going around that if anyone tries to use Wood Release in front of me, I'll punish that person severely.
Let me clarify, this is not a rumor! If any child tries to use Wood Release in front of me (except Naruto), I'll make them fly!
"Fine, let him go if he's gone. Just don't let me see him again."
Hashirama shook his head and then returned his body to Naruto.
The three little ones stood behind Naruto, looking at the Wood Release that had altered the terrain, speechless for a moment.
Is this the power of Hashirama Senju, the god of ninjas whom Naruto has always talked about?
They could easily change the terrain, and even made Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, too afraid to turn around.
"Hiss, I didn't expect this guy's strength to have reached this level."
Izuna's voice echoed in Sasuke's mind.
"I remember when he fought Nissan back then, he wasn't this strong. I never imagined that he would become so strong in just over ten years."
Izuna was unaware that Hashirama could actually use such a ninjutsu back then; it's just that his two older brothers were only using it for fun.
