Comparing the two pillars, this pillar is too extreme!

Humans are such a wondrous species!

Sometimes they possess a quality that inspires trust in summoned beasts.

Sometimes they seem excessively greedy!

Therefore,

The Slug Sage's attitude towards humans is also quite contradictory!

Even the slug fairy was willing to believe in humans.

Human partners willing to help them

But the slug fairy was deeply weary of this history that had been repeating itself for thousands of years!

Their operations failed time and time again.

　28 was caught in a bizarre cycle.

And among these,

The majority of the reasons are due to human greed.

"I believe I can accomplish what others couldn't."

"What they couldn't achieve, I definitely can!!"

"Because I'm destined to be stronger than any of them!!"

"As long as my strength surpasses everything, then all difficulties will naturally cease to be real difficulties!!"

Hashirama Senju's tone was filled with unparalleled confidence!

He firmly believed that

I will definitely surpass everyone else.

Become the strongest being!!

Even the slug fairy was infected by his aura.

Yes,

The reason why those predecessors failed,

Not being strong enough is indeed one of the reasons...

But before him stood Hashirama Senju.

His current strength has already surpassed that of all the humans the Slug Sage has ever seen.

What will become of Hashirama Senju in the future?

The Slug Sage had high expectations.

Perhaps he can surpass the Sage of Six Paths!

[The Fourth Raikage: Well said!! This is the First Hokage I admire!! As long as you are strong enough, all difficulties can be overcome. If you can't overcome them, it just means you're not strong enough!!]

[Uchiha Madara: ...This Hashirama, is he really that arrogant? But I like it. This kind of Hashirama is more suitable to be my true opponent!]

[Hashirama Senju: I think what he said was a bit too extreme. Can everything be solved by strength alone? People should be equal...]

[Tobirama Senju: Brother, your thinking is too idealistic. Hasn't the countless years of human history made you understand these true principles?]

[Jiraiya: I think the First Hokage has probably gone astray. Force can't solve anything; it only breeds more hatred and misunderstanding!]

Orochimaru: Mutual understanding between people? ...Then, First Hokage, what's your opinion on the Fourth Hokage's situation? The Hokage's son is treated like a monster in Konoha? Is this the Konoha you built?

[Shimura Danzo: It seems everything I've insisted on was right. What I've been upholding is the true Will of Fire. Having enough power to lead Konoha to wipe out all enemies—that's what a Hokage should do!!]

"But... are you so sure I'll definitely help you?"

"If you deny your ideals and think the world you describe is unrealistic..."

"So what should you do next?"

The Slug Sage gazed curiously at Hashirama Senju before him.

Hearing this,

Hashirama Senju grinned.

She revealed her pearly white teeth.

"I'm actually not confident that you, Slug Sage, will accept what I'm talking about..."

"However, there are some things I am quite clear about."

"If we can't be friends, then we must be enemies..."

"The most direct way to deal with an enemy is to completely destroy them..."

Looking at Hashirama Senju's bright smile,

The Slug Sage couldn't help but shudder!

Such intense killing intent!!

He could clearly sense that Hashirama Senju wasn't joking with him.

If I had just rejected and denied what Hashirama Senju said...

That would be tantamount to placing Shikkotsu Forest in opposition to him.

It is entirely possible that Hashirama Senju would choose to destroy the entire Shikkotsu Forest!

This Asura is truly different from the Asuras of the past.

He's too extreme!!

This is more like Indra's approach.

Destroy what you can't have.

The Slug Immortal silently made an estimate in his mind.

He was assessing the magnitude of the power gap between himself and Hashirama Senju!

Ultimately, he came to a despairing conclusion.

If Hashirama Senju wanted to harm himself and Shikkotsu-ryu!!

That entire Wet Bone Forest,

Even I might not be able to escape from him!

His chances of winning against Hashirama Senju are zero.

The chances of survival are practically zero!

What kind of monster is this Asura before me?!

It's good that he didn't show any hostility.

The Slug Sage also shows some resemblance to Asura.

Once he revealed his extreme hostility,

The slug sage could only sense unparalleled darkness and bloodshed emanating from him!

[Jiraiya: Are these really the three holy lands I know so well...? Even the Slug Sage is scared off...]

[Rasa: This seems normal. No one can face the First Hokage without fear!]

[The Fourth Raikage: The difference in strength is too great, and this First Hokage's killing intent is even stronger than Madara Uchiha's. The three sacred lands have no choice but to submit!!]

[Tsunade: Phew... Thank goodness, the Slug Sage didn't choose to clash with Grandpa.]

“Young man…you are truly honest…”

"They didn't even try to hide their thoughts."

The slug immortal said with a wry smile.

He hadn't expected Hashirama Senju to be so blunt.

If one is unwilling to relinquish the immortal techniques...

Shikotsu-rin was unwilling to agree with his idea.

He was prepared to destroy the Wet Bone Forest outright!

The Slug Sage believed that Hashirama Senju could also do this.

Seeing the slug fairy's helpless expression,

Hashirama Senju was not surprised in the slightest.

As for these three ancient monsters from the three holy lands, who have lived for countless years...

What can truly conquer them is one's own strength!

They were afraid because of their own strength.

Otherwise, no matter how wonderful the future world they describe is,
