Uchiha's personal opinion

……

After Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops to the battlefield, the Navy-Pirate Alliance began to be at a loss.

Shanks, who was traveling on the speedboat, was somewhat at a loss after Minato Namikaze and the group of ninjas knelt down to worship. However, he deduced from the fervent emotions of the crowd that the newcomers were no ordinary people, especially those seven giant beasts that were even larger than the Sea King...

Kizaru's face was extremely gloomy as he stared intently at Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was standing on the head of the Two-Tails Matatabi.

His left arm was severed by Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was wielding the Susanoo, during the Battle of Todoroki!

However, he did not act rashly, after all, he had experienced the power of this mysterious and unpredictable 'remnant strongman'.

Therefore, Kizaru's inner stance began to lean towards the family's commander-in-chief, 'Steel Bone Sora'.

Sakazuki, who originally intended to end this naval mutiny and put 'justice' back on track, instead had some other ideas.

'It seems...there is great potential...'

Sakazuki licked his lips, glanced at Kizaru whose face was full of resentment, and then leaped onto the Navy ship.

……

"Mr. Hashirama, before we clash, please allow me to ask one last time..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's flame-style aura began to gather natural energy from the void, constantly strengthening his chakra while radiating five-colored light: "Are you willing to retreat now?"

"..."

Hashirama Senju silently shook his head.

Even though he was under someone else's control, his inner pride wouldn't allow him to back down before the battle in front of Madara's juniors. Otherwise, if Madara Uchiha knew this in the afterlife, he would laugh at him.

However, he didn't have much hope of winning, after all, the battle in which he defeated six powerful marine pirates had consumed too much of his strength.

"Then I'll have to offend you..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled slightly.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

With a 'whoosh', a dazzling five-colored light screen enveloped Hashirama Senju.

"Wood Release: Ranking Technique!"

Hashirama Senju gave a soft shout and used Wood Release to create a wooden shield shaped like a fanged demon face to block the Five-Colored Divine Light.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar from the ninjutsu explosion, the wooden shield shattered.

"This……"

Hashirama Senju was greatly surprised!

Back in the battle at the Valley of the End, he used this ninjutsu to withstand Madara Uchiha's Susanoo's charged attack without sustaining any damage!

But he didn't have time to think much, and quickly dodged to avoid the Five-Colored Divine Light, whose power had been greatly weakened after breaking the wooden shield.

"boom!"

The wood-elemental forest behind them was immediately shattered by the five-colored divine light!

"Good heavens..."

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching.

This is no longer a simple secret technique.

While it doesn't quite reach the level of a bloodstain net, it far surpasses the elimination power of ordinary bloodstains!

"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu uttered a single sentence, then activated the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan and connected it with his Two-Tails, Matatabi—

"Susanoo in its full glory!"

The three-headed, six-armed, two-winged demon statue, towering high into the clouds, has reappeared in the world!

"Ouch!"

The six tailed beasts and the three-tailed jinchūriki, Yagura Karatachi, then roared to the sky, unleashing their tailed beast chakra to manifest their complete forms.

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, with lightning and thunder, as if the end of the world had arrived; in comparison, the Wood Release forest created by Hashirama Senju seemed insignificant.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Guard Uchiha ninjas and Uzumaki sealing ninjas who accompanied the battle retreated several hundred meters and set up a sealing barrier on the spot. Hanzo of the Salamander, under the intimidation of the aura, managed to summon the Salamander Ibuki and then dived into the sea to swim towards Minato Namikaze.

"Sage Art: Flame Escape - Dust Concealment Technique!"

With a simple activation from Uchiha Tokumitsu, a cloud of extremely hot fire-style smoke began to spread. Wherever it went, the wood-style forests not only failed to absorb the chakra from the ninjutsu's effects, but instead became somewhat listless and lacking in vitality; and the captured Sengoku began to blister all over his body.

"Illusion Technique: Darkness Travel Technique!"

Although Hashirama Senju was somewhat disheveled after accidentally inhaling a mouthful of hot smoke, he clapped his hands together and immediately activated a large-scale genjutsu specifically designed to target eye-jutsu ninjas.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

With a flash of its wings, the Susanoo in its armor swept out a five-colored light, clearing away the black curtain created by the illusion. Even the vast Wood Release forest was destroyed by a single blow!

"This……"

Hashirama Senju was having a bit of a headache.

After activating the genjutsu, he was accidentally grazed on the shoulder by the five-colored divine light. He immediately felt that his chakra was reduced by a bit, and judging from the power of the attack, its strength was even greater than that of the wood release!

"What a troublesome opponent..."

After dodging the slash from the Susanoo Greatsword in a flash, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

If he were in the ninja world at this moment, he could still use his Sage Mode to give Uchiha Tokumitsu a run for his money. But now, not only has his power been mostly depleted, but even the already extremely thin natural energy in the void is no longer under his 'command'. With this ebb and flow, he is naturally in great discomfort.

"boom!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's imposing Susanoo swept away weeds like a sieve, destroying the Wood Release forest created by the preoccupied Senju Hashirama. Sengoku, who was firmly wrapped by the giant Wood Release tree, was grabbed and thrown towards the Imperial Guard ninja and Uzumaki ninja formation that were arrayed behind him.

The Uzumaki ninja hurriedly caught Sengoku as he was thrown, and unsealed a complete set of Seastone torture instruments from the scroll, binding Sengoku again.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Hashirama Senju leaped a few times, dodging the range of the Dust Concealment Technique. Then, he clapped his hands together, creating a Wood Release forest and forming a tall wooden figure.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu's armored Susanoo arrived in an instant, its six giant arms wielding various chakra weapons, cutting the tall wooden figure to pieces.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

At this moment, Hashirama Senju disregarded the cost and frantically burned his soul power, combining it with his remaining Sage Chakra to create a colossal Buddha statue that was even taller than the Susanoo!

"Hoohoho!"

But before the weakened Hashirama Senju could launch an attack, the seven tailed beasts, now in their true forms, crashed into the giant Buddha statue one after another, desperately burning their tailed beast chakra to launch an attack!

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred; this is exactly the case here!

Even though Hashirama Senju was summoned by the Six Paths Elder through some unknown means, he was still the greatest enemy to the Tailed Beasts who had been imprisoned!

If they were to directly attack the Sage of Six Paths, the Tailed Beasts would probably have some psychological barriers, but if they were to attack Hashirama, they would immediately unite in hatred.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of the tailed beast's sluggishness, the chakra weapon of the Susanoo cut the tall wooden figure in half and completely destroyed it with a burst of five-colored divine light, then attacked Hashirama Senju, who had leaped onto the giant Buddha statue.

"What a formidable junior..."

Although Hashirama Senju's tactical errors contributed to their current predicament, the power displayed by Tokumitsu Uchiha was enough to shock Hashirama Senju, who had been invincible throughout the ninja world.

If he wanted to leave, he would undoubtedly be able to escape successfully.

But as a powerful figure, especially in his current situation where he is at the mercy of others, Hashirama Senju decided to burn his last bit of power so that his junior, Tokumitsu Uchiha, could truly experience the awe-inspiring power of the Senju clan!

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

As the Susanoo swung its sword, Uchiha Tokuko surged with power, emitting a dazzling five-colored light from the eyes of each of the three heads of the Susanoo!

"A Buddha appears on the crown!"

Driven by Hashirama Senju, the Thousand Hands of True Technique, the towering Buddha statue, swung countless arms in unison, swatting away all seven tailed beasts and striking towards the armored Susanoo!

"Boom boom boom!"

With a deafening roar, a powerful shockwave from the explosion spread in all directions, causing the sealing barrier behind to crumble like paper; and the distant naval pirate ships were capsized and sunk on the spot!

As the dust settled, the battered tailed beasts returned, and the devastating collision revealed its devastating consequences.

The armored Susanoo was reduced to a head, two arms, and a single wing, its torso tattered and battered. It was slowly and painstakingly regenerating under the chakra of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

The True Thousand Hands appeared intact, but under the gentle breeze, they slowly dissipated like smoke and dust.

The same applies to the Thousand-Armed Pillar, which stands atop the Buddha statue.

"Your name is Deguang, right...?"

Hashirama Senju's face was full of a gratified smile.

At this moment, his left half had already vanished with the wind, and the destructive force was spreading continuously to the remaining body.

"Yes, Mr. Hashirama."

Uchiha Tokumitsu voluntarily left the interior of the armored Susanoo, stood atop the head of the demon statue, and looked directly at this legendary figure.

"very good……"

"From now on, it will be your era..."

As Hashirama Senju spoke, his right half dissipated in the wind, leaving only a head suspended in mid-air, its eyes filled with longing as it gazed toward the Gate of the World.

"What a pity, I didn't even have a chance to meet Madara..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head vanished in the wind.

Chapter 569 The Rise of a New Dynasty

As his head turned to dust and vanished with the wind, Hashirama Senju, who had once been awe-inspiring and suppressed the ninja world, disappeared without a trace, bearing the appearance of another.

"call……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu let out a long sigh of relief, deactivated his Susanoo form, landed on top of the Two-Tails Matatabi, and looked at the terrified Marine-Pirate Alliance ahead.
