Comparing the two pillars, this pillar is too extreme!

The blade of the pheasant-tailed sword resembles the leaf of an iris.

The central part of the sword blade is thicker.

The handle part resembles the spine of a fish, and is white from top to bottom.

Just a quick glance,

Even Hashirama Senju could feel how sharp the Kusanagi Sword was!

Although I am not a swordsman

However, Hashirama Senju believed he could barely unleash the full power of the Kusanagi Sword!

Orochimaru: After seeing this Kusanagi Sword, I have an urge to immediately go to the Fire Temple to steal it!! The replica is nowhere near as good as the real thing...

[Hashirama Senju: I should have gotten one of those weapons too. They look really cool.]

[Tobirama Senju: Brother, you could certainly get yourself a Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi or a similar weapon, but you're not a swordsman and won't know how to use it. You can teach me, and I'll keep it safe for you.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: It seems that although there have been some changes, the essence of the First Hokage remains the same. The Will of Fire still resides within him; he is not a man who kills indiscriminately!!]

[Shimura Danzo: If you don't nip the problem in the bud... it will definitely lead to endless trouble!!]

[Jiraiya: Old man, Danzo is such a shady guy, how did you let him stay in the position of Hokage's assistant for so long?? If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened in Konoha!!]

[Sakura Haruno: This creepy-sounding old man, he's actually the Hokage's assistant?!]

[Ino Yamanaka: I suddenly have some concerns about the future of Konoha.]

……

"Don't worry... I always keep my word."

"From today onwards, the Fire Temple will no longer exist in the Land of Fire."

"I will immediately take my men and disappear from the Land of Fire."

As Hashirama Senju walked back from the main hall carrying the Kusanagi Sword,

The old monk quickly spoke up.

Hashirama Senju nodded.

A flash of white light!

This is... my head??

This was the last thought in the old monk's mind.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black and he knew nothing more.

Seeing that not a single drop of blood was left on the Kusanagi sword,

Hashirama Senju nodded in satisfaction.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary artifact that has stood the test of time.

Its sharpness is extraordinary!

Then, as if remembering something,

His right hand was slightly open.

A mysterious energy flowed from his right hand to the blade of the sword.

With a gentle wave forward!

Countless monks of the Temple of Fire,

Their bodies were as thin as paper.

The sword was cleaved in two!

He lightly swung the sword a few times.

Inside the entire Fire Temple, besides him and Jigen,

There is no one left!

hiss! ! ! !

Seeing what Hashirama Senju did inside the Fire Temple.

Everyone in the live stream gasped!

They didn't expect that,

Hashirama Senju is incredibly ruthless!

They didn't leave a single survivor in the Fire Temple!

Orochimaru: It seems we misjudged Hashirama Senju… He didn’t attack just now not because he wanted to let these people go, but simply because he hadn’t obtained the Kusanagi Sword yet…

[Jiraiya: It seems the events at the three holy lands have misled us, making us believe that the First Hokage, aside from his strength, wasn't as ruthless as we thought!!]

[Tsunade: I now suspect that the reason Grandpa hasn't attacked the Three Holy Lands is because the people there all possess Sage Mode, making them valuable to him... while the people from the Fire Temple, being on his opposite side, have no use for him at all!! ...]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: It seems I misjudged the First Hokage's bloodlust. He's far too extreme. I wonder where this world is headed!!!]

[Shimura Danzo: This is the true First Hokage in my heart. He has strength and strategy, and he is not swayed by sentimentality!! I look forward to a stronger Konoha being established under his leadership.]

[The Fourth Raikage: I'm not concerned about how many people died at the Fire Temple. I'm more curious about who this mysterious monk is and why I've never heard of him before.]

[Onoki: That terrifying battle just now didn't have any effect on him at all; that's something no ordinary person could do.]

[Mei Terumi: If an ordinary person saw this kind of battle, they would have fainted from fright long ago. How could this person be standing there so calmly... as if watching a show?]

……

Inside the cave,

Black Zetsu stared at the live stream with a grim expression!

For the first time, he realized that things were somewhat out of his control.

In his memory,

There has never been a monk of such unknown origin in the history of the ninja world before!

Judging from Hashirama Senju's attitude towards him and his recent behavior...

This is clearly not an ordinary person.

Hashirama Senju even faced the sages of the three major powers.

They've never shown such a serious attitude before!

And such a powerful figure with a mysterious origin,

I didn't even know his background.

I don't know where he came from.

Wouldn't this potentially have a huge impact on my future plans?!

……

After dealing with everyone in the Fire Temple,

Hashirama Senju then turned his gaze to Jigen, who had been standing to the side.

Cixian's movements, posture, and even expression remained unchanged from beginning to end!

He always looked at Hashirama Senju with a faint smile on his face.

The two stared at each other in this eerie silence for a few seconds,

Hashirama Senju was the first to leave!

This was the first time in so many years that he realized he couldn't see through a person.

He had already obtained the Kusanagi Sword inside the Fire Temple.

There's no need to complicate things further.

So he just left!

After Jigen saw Hashirama Senju disappear...

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

That gentle smile just now seemed to be nothing more than a mask.

That's when he's truly himself!

He sensed a familiar aura emanating from Hashirama Senju!

This seems to be the aura of that traitor's direct bloodline!

Hashirama Senju couldn't see through him.

And he, too, couldn't see through Hashirama Senju!

On Hashirama Senju's body

There seems to be a very powerful yet unfamiliar energy.
