Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

However, this doesn't mean Wood Release is weak. Wood Release itself is still a top-tier bloodline limit; it's just that it demands extremely high skill from the user.

The same ability has different effects in different people's hands. Danzo used Wood Release to plant trees; he wouldn't dare use it unless his life was in danger.

[Obito, however, is somewhat stronger in Wood Release than these people.]

[During his youth, in a fit of rage, he used Wood Release to massacre all the Hidden Mist Anbu members present. Later, facing the First Akatsuki, he single-handedly wiped them out.]

Ultimately, however, he was only fighting weaklings, and wasn't even on the same level as Hashirama. Obito's Wood Release was, at best, just usable.

The only one who could possibly challenge Hashirama using Wood Release was Madara.

He also possesses Wood Release due to the transplantation of Hashirama's cells, and during the Fourth Shinobi World War, his Wood Release techniques caused the Five Kage considerable suffering.

However, when he faced Hashirama, he was still no match for him.

The period when Konoha was founded.

Madara Uchiha's expression was extremely unpleasant.

He turned to look at Hashirama Senju beside him, his eyes filled with resentment.

Hashirama Senju scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"That freak? That's something for the future; it hasn't happened yet."

"Hashirama, tell me honestly, how much of a handicap did you hold back when you fought me before?"

Hashirama opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and finally chose a conservative answer.

"Not much was put in."

Madara stared at him for three seconds, then sneered, "Hashirama, you admit you went easy on him?!"

.........

Upon hearing this, Hashirama felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; had he been tricked into revealing information?

The sky did not darken; instead, it continued to roll.

Aside from the Chatonla, the other configurations between the columns are also top-notch.

First, he possesses a healing ability that allows him to quickly recover from injuries without needing to form hand seals. Even Tsunade's self-created Creation Rebirth technique only barely reaches Hashirama's level.

The images on the screen changed.

On the left is Hashirama Senju, who has several wounds on his body. But as soon as he stands there, the wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he is completely restored within seconds.

On the right is Tsunade activating the Hundred Healings Technique, the Yin Seal on her forehead spreading out, and the wound is also healing rapidly.

But it's clear that she needs to actively mobilize her chakra, form hand seals, and concentrate.

Hashirama's healing is passive, while Tsunade's is active, like unleashing a powerful attack. One is a natural talent, the other a secret technique; they're worlds apart.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Tsunade didn't say anything, since she already knew this.

Besides, his grandfather was the God of Ninjas.

How could I possibly compare to him?

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the corner, smoking as he thought.

Creation Regeneration is a forbidden medical technique that Tsunade developed after researching for most of her life. It can greatly accelerate cell division, achieving a near-immortal healing effect.

However, this technique only barely reached the passive level of the First Hokage.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of Danzo.

Danzo has been secretly researching Hashirama's cells; I'll ask him for his latest research in a while.

This is a valuable item; Danzo wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it in his possession.

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze looked at the information displayed on the sky and sighed.

"Sometimes, bloodline and talent are just incomparable."

Kushina was curious upon hearing this.

"And you, Minato? How's your healing ability?"

Minato coughed lightly.

"He's only slightly better than an ordinary person, but he can't compare to the First Generation Master."

Kushina chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, you still have me."

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

In addition, Hashirama possesses superhuman strength, capable of delivering devastating blows with every punch, and can easily block the Housen Flame with his bare hands.

This extraordinary strength was passed down to Tsunade, and it became her signature attack method.

[This is equivalent to Tsunade's ultimate techniques, Hundred Healings and Super Strength, but for Hashirama, it's just a passive skill.]

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade couldn't help but start thinking.

Her Hundred Healings Technique, her superhuman strength, and her ability to create and regenerate are all extensions of the talents she inherited from her grandfather.

But Grandpa used these abilities as naturally as breathing.

She needs to form a hand seal, gather energy, and concentrate her mind before she can use it.

Why are these talents weakened when they come to me?

The sky continued to roll.

Not to mention Hashirama's greatest advantage was his innate Sage Body.

He activated Sage Mode with a simple clap of his hands, unleashing the Six Paths level sealing technique, Myōjinmon.

Furthermore, his Sage Art can enhance Wood Release, directly upgrading ordinary Wood Release into "Sage Art: Wood Release".

On the sky, the scene changed again.

Hashirama Senju stood on a battlefield, his hands clasped together, and with a snap, he struck his palms together.

Sage Mode activates instantly, so fast that even the screen can't keep up.

Then he clasped his hands together again and chanted "Sage Art: Wood Release: Myojinmon." Several red torii gates descended from the sky, striking the Ten-Tails' tail precisely and binding its movements.

Finally, the oppressive aura of the Wood Release: Thousand-Armed Buddha technique was truly overwhelming.

Even the nine tailed beasts were nothing more than small karaomis in his eyes; he could grab one in each hand.

...

Mt. Miaomu.

Fukasaku the toad was sitting cross-legged on Toad Rock when he saw the scene in the sky. His eyes widened suddenly, and even his whiskers twitched.

It turned to look at the sage Shima beside it, and exclaimed in shock.

"Old woman, did you see that?! He activated his 'sage mode'—it just popped open!"

Master Shima's eyes widened as well. "I saw it..."

"This, this..." Fukasaku stroked his beard, his voice trembling, "If Jiraiya had even half of this talent, he wouldn't have had to struggle so much back then."

Master Shima sighed, "Don't even mention it, that child still needs our help."

Konoha Year 60, Hokage's office.

Jiraiya's smile froze on his face.

He sat up abruptly, pointed at the sky, and his voice changed.

"Wait! The First Hokage suddenly activated Sage Mode?!"

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with a hint of schadenfreude.

"What's wrong, Jiraiya? Didn't you say Sage Mode was difficult?"

"It's really difficult!" Jiraiya's voice was filled with disbelief.

"It always takes me ages to get into Sage Mode, and I even need the help of two great immortals..."

Instead of complaining, Tsunade simply expressed her feelings.

"Grandpa is still grandpa after all."

"Compared to Grandpa, you are indeed a tiny bit lacking."

Jiraiya opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't refute it.

...

The screen went dark, and then a line of large characters appeared.

In the ninja world, some professions are inherently high-risk. For example, the Hokage, the Jinchuriki, and... the teacher.

People from all timelines in the ninja world looked up, and many of them showed subtle expressions.

"Teacher? What's so dangerous about that profession?"

"Have you forgotten what Tianmu said earlier? The master-disciple tradition in Konoha is practically a form of patricide to prove one's path..."
