Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

The opponent merely raised his hand slightly, and the powerful repulsive force sent Sasuke flying, along with his Chidori.

The black-haired boy who crashed to the ground coughed up blood, a sight that was also deeply imprinted in Naruto's eyes. The next instant, his azure eyes were replaced by scarlet beastly pupils. "Sasuke!"

In an instant, two tails exploded, fiery red chakra soaring into the sky, filled with hatred, and beastly eyes flashing, as if it wanted to tear the enemy in front of it to pieces like prey.

Payne stared at him coldly, his eyes and expression like those of an emotionless robot, but his tone carried a hint of triumph: "I felt it, your hatred."

The Asura Realm, the Human Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hell Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm—Konan, possessing secret techniques, unleashes her full power.

Temari, Kankuro, and the others didn't last three rounds.

Gaara and Naruto were not to be outdone; in just a few moments, black rods were inserted into their bodies, and their chakra was blocked.

The two who dared not fully transform into tailed beasts were no match for Pain.

As Rokudo was carrying two Jinchūriki and preparing to leave, he suddenly stopped and looked up.

In the blink of an eye, green leaves fluttered up, and the silver-haired ninja's pomegranate-red eyes swept over the few people who had been knocked down. "Leave the rest to me. You did a good job."

"The Second Hokage," Pain said, his eyes narrowing slightly. Interestingly, their voices were strangely similar, as if they were from the same person.

But that didn't matter. He glanced at Sasuke, who was covered in wounds in the corner, holding a kunai engraved with strange symbols in his hand.

"I see, it's the Flying Thunder God Technique."

A smile suddenly appeared on Sasuke's blood-soaked face. The black tomoe in his crimson Sharingan slowly rotated, finally settling on three tomoe. His eyes were sinister and full of madness. He forced himself to stand up and said, "How can I leave this to you alone, Second Hokage?"

Even if he came alone, it wouldn't make a difference, so let's just fight to the death. It doesn't matter if we die. How can we just stand by and watch the bottom runner get taken away?

"That's right, what can you do all by yourself?" Pain's tone was full of contempt. He was the Second Hokage of Konoha, the younger brother of the God of Shinobi who created the ninja village system, and also the teacher of Danzo Shimura.

Whether it was Konoha, a place he deeply hated, or a powerful nation that oppressed their homeland, they were all his enemies.

The hatred suppressed for the sake of the great cause has begun to rise again. I want to make all these people feel the same pain.

Tobirama merely smiled slowly, "The reinforcements haven't all arrived yet."

According to the intelligence that has been sent back, Pain possesses the Rinnegan, the eye above the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he is not arrogant enough to dare to come alone.

"What?!" Xiao Nan's eyes widened in surprise, staring in a certain direction with fear, her hair standing on end in alarm.

"Hahaha, Tobirama! I'm here!"

A lively voice, a figure as swift as the wind, flowing black hair, a mountain-like stature, eyes as vast as the sea, and a... silly, hearty smile on his face.

It suddenly feels very down-to-earth.

God of Ninjas, we've finally met.

Chapter 88 Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts (13) Hashirama VS Pain

powerful.

Super powerful.

Chakra permeated the scene, like thunderclouds looming over Pain's head, and like surging waves crashing towards him.

Since becoming Pain, he hadn't felt this threat for a long time, not even when facing the fake Madara 'Uchiha Obito'.

"You're Pain? Wow! The Rinnegan is so common now?" Hashirama had originally intended to ask him to return the two children, but upon closer inspection, he was stunned to see that each of them had purple-patterned ring eyes.

Seeing these eyes, he finally understood why the forum divided the Rinnegan into several types.

The Rinnegan of the group in front of them was clearly different from Sasuke's. The purple circles on the Rinnegan did not have black tomoe, so it was a regular Rinnegan, not a tomoe Rinnegan.

Payne didn't answer his question, careful not to reveal any information. "These eyes are a symbol of God, and I am God!"

Hashirama & Tobirama: "......" Does this guy believe in some strange religion?

Hashirama smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry, God, could you please return those two children?"

The God of Ninjas wore a gentle smile and exuded elegance. Without extraordinary strength, such courtesy towards enemies would only seem foolish, but he was the God of Ninjas.

He was an incredibly powerful being who commanded respect simply by standing there, and even with a smile on his face, no one dared to underestimate him.

He is a man a hundred times stronger than the demigod Sansamboa, not a self-proclaimed 'god'!

While Payne sensed this power, he was unwilling to submit easily. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, which were marked with purple circles. "Sorry, this is all for the sake of peace."

"Just as you once distributed the Tailed Beasts for the sake of peace, I need to collect the Tailed Beasts for the sake of peace."

Hashirama: "..." His smile froze slightly as he instantly recalled Kurama's all-encompassing roars and insults at him.

Sigh~ Who would have thought that those tailed beasts would not only be cursed after death, but would also be subjected to sarcastic remarks after coming back to life?

It's really tough for him.

"We can discuss peaceful methods together," Hashirama said with a smile. He was used to being polite before resorting to force, and he would reason with Madara before starting a war, just like when he persuaded Madara to form an alliance. As long as I have thick skin, nothing can stop me.

"Look at the future in that light screen, isn't it pretty good? There hasn't been a war in a long time."

Hashirama's eyes held a faint longing, and it was this longing that revealed the sincerity in his words.

"The ninjas of the future will live in peace and contentment, working diligently in their respective positions, occasionally taking a break to browse forums and play games. The children will not need to risk their lives on the battlefield at a young age; they can simply enjoy their studies on campus."

"I founded Konoha Village to create a world where children don't have to go to the battlefield. The path may have gone a little astray, but isn't the future still pretty good?"

Payne's eyes flashed with a sinister light. "Peace? Ridiculous."

Children don't need to go to the battlefield? That's even more ridiculous, because before children even go to the battlefield, their survival is a problem. Nagato thought of his childhood wandering life, of Yahiko's death, and of the destruction of their ideals.

My heart is aching slightly.

Payne was enraged by his nonchalant words, his wide, purple-striped eyes filled with fury.

"Peace from a great power is violence against us."

"Whether in the past, present, or future, it is the same; therefore, we must keep war under our own control."

“Furthermore,” a cold mockery flashed in Payne’s eyes, “as the creator of the great power system, the lofty god of ninjas, you’re talking to me, a victim who has suffered greatly at the hands of a great power, about peace? Don’t you find that laughable?”

As he recounted the story, Hashirama's expression gradually turned serious; he felt the pain born from years of war.

That's why he's called Payne.

Hashirama suddenly crossed his legs and sat calmly on the ground, leaving the people around him completely bewildered. Temari was still hoping that the God of Shinobi would display his supernatural powers and defeat Pain in a heartbeat.

Why is it that we suddenly want to talk all night?

"Can you tell me your story?" Hashirama's face held a broad and gentle smile, like the ocean. "The nine tailed beasts fused into one form a powerful, unconscious weapon. Ten-Tails, is that what you were trying to achieve by collecting the tailed beasts? You want to achieve peace through intimidation? Why?"

"Didn't you and Madara Uchiha achieve peace through intimidation back then? Why are you asking me again?" Pain paused for only a second before mocking, "Don't put on that arrogant senior act."

"This is a warning from God! I don't like this attitude." Only those with the Rinnegan dared to call themselves gods before the God of Shinobi.

Hashirama shook his head. "No, the peace between Madara and me was not achieved through intimidation."

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore." Pain interrupted him again. Hashirama Senju's attitude, his expression, and his tone all disgusted him.

Boom boom boom! !

The Animal Realm and the Asura Realm acted simultaneously, with large summoned beasts suddenly leaping out and rocket-like weapons bombarding them.

Hashirama remained seated on the ground, motionless. Just as the attack was about to approach, he clapped his hands together, causing the ground to shake violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

Wood Release: The Birth of the Tree World.

Thick, green vines instantly covered the ground, extending upwards as if trying to reach the sky.

A single Wood Release vine whipped away three large summoned beasts, and the destruction of the Animal Path and Asura Path was instantaneous.

"How strange...isn't it human?"

Hashirama and Tobirama exchanged a glance and instantly sensed the incongruity of these ninjas.

Konan was getting anxious and quickly looked at Pain, her eyes conveying the message to escape. Her opponent was visibly stronger, and the gap in strength was too great.

Not to mention, the God of Shinobi has the Second Hokage watching him closely behind him. Is it really okay to face them now?

The next second, Hashirama's Wood Release vines were slowly shrinking. Upon closer inspection, a guy with the Rinnegan was absorbing his ninjutsu with his hand. "Oh, is this also a power of the Rinnegan? Interesting."

Hashirama became interested and clapped his hands, summoning more Wood Release techniques. The ninja continued to absorb the ninjutsu, and although it looked like he was struggling, he still did not stop absorbing it.

Tobirama narrowed his eyes. "Big brother, use a different energy system."

"I know." Hashirama clapped his hands together, instantly entering Sage Mode, and the guy who could absorb ninjutsu was instantly blasted away. "So, I'll have to use Sage Mode, will I?"

"I didn't expect you to know Sage Mode, but then again, you are the God of Shinobi after all." Nagato thought of his master Jiraiya, though only for a second.

"Konan, get away from her." Seeing the critical situation, he ordered the remaining disciples to escort Konan away, while he took out his Wood Release: Spikes to fight Hashirama. It was obvious that he wouldn't last long.

It's fair to say that if Hashirama hadn't released the water, he probably would have been crushed into the mud by now.

Overwhelming power? He scoffed at the small thing.

After Konan moved away, he withdrew his abilities from the other six paths and focused them on Pain, using Chibaku Tensei to seal Hashirama Senju inside a giant sphere.

"Is it over?" Pain breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized that the Second Hokage, the One-Tailed Beast, and the Nine-Tailed Beast were all gone, and his vigilance immediately rose.

The moment he turned to walk out.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The sphere suspended in mid-air exploded with a deafening roar, and his pupils instantly contracted. "How is this possible?!"

Countless wooden arms emerged from the layers of stacked stones, resembling a giant Buddha bathed in holy light.

It's not just like a Buddha statue, it's a real Buddha!

He broke the seal on the Rinnegan so easily! This guy...

Chapter 89 Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts (14) Hashirama's Talk-no-Jutsu

Hashirama landed riding the Wood Release: Great Buddha, showing no signs of disarray; his clothes still fluttered, and he appeared handsome and dashing.

The contrast made Payne, who was fighting so hard, look like a clown.

Powerless... powerless in the face of war, powerless in the face of great powers, powerless in the face of overwhelming force.

Pain... the pain of facing the deaths of his parents, the pain of facing Yahiko's death.

Hatred... hatred for Danzo, hatred for Konoha, hatred for great powers, hatred for war.

Everything converged and focused on the man before him. The ninja god, a figure of light and majesty in the eyes of countless people, was, in Nagato's eyes, the source of all hatred and pain.
