Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Although the Truth-Seeking Balls weakened in their ability to annihilate all ninjutsu after being mixed with the Rasengan, their coverage area increased considerably.

Moreover, even though it has become weaker, it is still more than enough to deal with the Wood Dragon, who doesn't even have Sage Chakra.

The expanded Truth-Seeking Ball Rasengan, with a diameter of tens of meters, flew towards Hashirama Senju after being thrown by Naruto.

"Spirit Communication - Fivefold Rashomon!"

Five giant iron gates with demonic faces rose from the ground and appeared on the battlefield in an instant, standing between Naruto and Hashirama Senju.

The Truth-Seeking Ball Rasengan slammed into Rashomon with tremendous force, breaking through the first Rashomon gate in just a moment.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Even the five extremely strong Rashomon gates could not withstand the power of the Truth-Seeking Ball Rasengan and were quickly broken through.

Even so, this move was not in vain. It changed the trajectory of the Truth-Seeking Ball Rasengan to some extent, causing it to land elsewhere and create an explosion that almost engulfed everything.

Hashirama Senju noticed the immense power of Naruto's attack and was somewhat surprised, a hearty smile spreading across his face.

"Well done, Naruto!"

He was also very curious about the strange changes in Naruto.

Is it the Nine-Tails' chakra? No, although it contains the chakra of the tailed beast, this power is far stronger than the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju even felt that Naruto might actually be able to seal him away before he could break free of his control.

However, upon sensing the changes in his body, his expression turned serious.

"But don't be careless, these were just appetizers."

"Next comes... my true... all-out effort!"

Chapter 146 Gundam vs. Gundam

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

The moment Hashirama Senju unleashed his chakra, the entire battlefield trembled.

The vast primeval forest he had created earlier was now responding to his call, with countless towering trees gathering together, their momentum even several times stronger than that of the wooden dragon from before.

Soon, a wooden Arhat several hundred meters tall appeared on the battlefield, and the wooden dragon that had been there earlier also climbed onto the arm of the wooden Arhat.

The wooden Arhat has wide-open, angry eyes and a majestic presence.

Naruto is actually quite familiar with this "Wooden Golem Technique." He has used it many times before, such as when he destroyed the Land of Lightning and when he helped Kakuzu recall the fear of being dominated by Wood Release. He can even create a wooden golem after the barriers on Konoha and Turtle Island are activated.

However, this pre-set program is completely incomparable to what Hashirama Senju is using at this moment.

The strongest Wood Release technique was never the one used by Hashirama Senju; the Wood Release techniques used by Danzo Shimura and Yamato were not very powerful.

At that moment, Hashirama Senju jumped onto the head of the wooden Arhat and shouted, "Naruto, it's coming!"

Naruto stared intently and saw that the enormous wooden Arhat was already heading towards him.

Naruto took a deep breath, his heart surging with emotion.

To be honest, he hasn't really encountered a suitable opponent who can give him a satisfying battle and prove his current strength.

The people I've encountered in the past either lacked real skills or had bizarre and unpredictable abilities that drove me crazy.

Even when Nagato was in good health, his strength was still not up to Naruto's standards.

But the current Hashirama Senju clearly has that qualification.

So Naruto mobilized the Eight-Tails' chakra within his body, condensing a "Sage Art: Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan" as a test, and threw it at the wooden doll.

The Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan is tens of meters in diameter, but it still looks like a ball in front of a wooden golem that is hundreds of meters tall.

When the Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan came to him, the wooden man moved.

His two enormous wooden arms stretched out at the same time, directly grabbing the terrifyingly powerful Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan and pressing it down on Naruto!

boom!

The immense energy contained within the Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan suddenly erupted, causing a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high to rise from the battlefield.

Even with the powerful defense of the wooden golem, it was still blown off an arm by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan at such close range, leaving a large hole in its surface.

However, Hashirama Senju had used the Advent of the Flowering Tree World to create an environment suitable for using Wood Release beforehand, so the towering trees quickly gathered around, and in no time the wooden figure was restored to its original state.

Naruto, who also experienced the explosion, was not piloting the wooden dummy, but he had Truth-Seeking Balls, so he was not injured.

In Naruto's inner world, Kurama saw the familiar wooden dummy and immediately became excited: "Naruto, let me try! I want to avenge Hashirama beating me up with that wooden dummy!"

Since the situation was still under control, Naruto agreed to his request.

As soon as Kurama took over the body, he released the Six Paths Mode that Kurama could not control and instead mobilized his own chakra.

Golden chakra suddenly burst out of his body, and in a moment it condensed into the shape of a fox, even larger than Kurama's original form, and slightly larger than the wooden puppet.

Hashirama Senju noticed the change in Naruto's aura and grinned, "It's the Nine-Tails! Long time no see!"

"Roar!"

Kurama, however, was unimpressed by Hashirama's enthusiasm and roared, "Hashirama, I've been annoyed with you for a long time! You keep saying that I'm too strong and must be sealed, but why don't you seal yourself instead!"

Hashirama Senju was somewhat embarrassed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was forced into this situation at the time. I was worried that you would destroy Konoha after I died."

"Besides, haven't you met Naruto, a great partner, now?"

Kurama thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. So he should thank Hashirama Senju?

"No way! What does that have to do with you! Anyway, I'm definitely going to beat you up!"

The Nine-Tailed Man roared and lunged at the wooden figure, wrestling with it.

This scene also evoked a sense of nostalgia in Hashirama Senju, because it was just like this when he fought Madara Uchiha. He piloted the wooden dummy, while Madara Uchiha used Susanoo to envelop the Nine-Tails.

Logically speaking, even the combined power of Kurama and Madara Uchiha was no match for Hashirama Senju back then, so Kurama alone should be no match for him now, since, putting aside everything else, Wood Release is still too effective against Tailed Beasts.

However, Kurama is no longer a fox; Naruto and the system are still inside him assisting him!

For example, right now, the Nine-Tails' chakra, combined with Sage Mode and the power of the Six Paths, is acting on Kurama, causing his size to swell even more, making him a head taller than the wooden puppet.

Kurama looked down at Hashirama Senju with a smug smile on his face.

"Watch closely, Hashirama. You've stagnated as a dead man all these years, while I've made considerable progress!"

With that, he swung his claw down and grabbed one of the wooden figures' hands. Then, he steadied himself, exerted all his strength, and actually lifted the wooden figure slightly off the ground.

Although this height is nothing to a wooden figure that is hundreds of meters tall.

But Nine-Lama seized the opportunity, twisted his whole body suddenly, and with great force, flung the wooden figure away!

boom!!

The wooden figure landed on a large mountain, creating a large crater halfway up the mountain.

Just as Hashirama Senju was about to control the wooden doll to stand up from the mountain, a Tailed Beast Ball flew towards them.

The wooden figure ignored the Tailed Beast Ball, but the wooden dragon on its arm suddenly poked its head out and snatched the Tailed Beast Ball.

Even without the wooden dragon, with the wooden man's powerful defense, even if a Tailed Beast Ball exploded directly on his body, it wouldn't cause too much of a problem.

But... what about a dozen?

All nine of Kurama's golden tails stretched out and pointed at the wooden figure, where a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra condensed to form a Tailed Beast Ball.

Including the Nine-Tails' two hands and mouth, a total of twelve Tailed Beast Balls were launched simultaneously!

"Wood Release: Crimson Technique!"

Faced with the overwhelming Tailed Beast Ball, Hashirama Senju quickly mobilized his chakra to control the nearby primeval forest, creating a wooden shield hundreds of meters long, shaped like a fanged demon's face, to defend against the Tailed Beast Ball.

Boom! Boom boom!! Boom boom boom!!

The twelve Tailed Beast Balls exploded on the wooden shield, creating a powerful blast.

Normally, just one Tailed Beast Ball would be enough to raze a small residential area to the ground.

At this moment, the twelve Tailed Beast Balls exploded simultaneously, and their power was not to be underestimated. Even with Hashirama Senju's powerful Wood Release, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

Seeing this, the Nine Lamas immediately felt relieved.

"Hahaha, Hashirama, you've finally gotten a day when I beat you up! That feels great!"

The smug fox had completely forgotten that he was only able to temporarily suppress Hashirama because of Naruto's Sage Chakra and Six Paths Power.

Moreover, this is still far from Hashirama Senju's full strength.

Hashirama Senju manipulated the wooden doll to discard the badly damaged wooden shield and clasped his hands together to unleash a new Wood Release ninjutsu.

"Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique!"

Hashirama Senju channeled a large amount of chakra into the ground, and the primeval forest was once again moved by it. The towering trees gathered together and formed more than a dozen huge wooden arms that rose from the ground.

Still immersed in joy, Kurama failed to become alert in time.

By the time he realized something was wrong, wooden arms had already covered his sides.

Just then, four wooden arms wrapped around the Nine Lamas's limbs, firmly fixing him in place.

"Hmm? When?"

Nine-Lama wanted to break free from the constraints of the wooden arms, but he couldn't do so in a short time.

At the same time, the other wooden arms around him clenched their fists and attacked Nine-Lama, leaving him bruised and battered.

Although the technique of using cloth bags doesn't look as intimidating as the technique of using wooden figures, it only involves a dozen or so wooden arms.

However, this also meant that the Bag Technique was far more flexible and versatile than the Wooden Dummy, and it easily controlled Kurama.

"Nine-Tails, you never learn your lesson. You were caught by this move before," Hashirama Senju said.

Kurama blushed upon hearing this and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, only muttering things like "Wood Release counters Tailed Beasts" and "The matter of Tailed Beasts can't be settled like this."

At that moment, Hashirama Senju sensed something and quickly reminded him, "Nine-Tails, quickly switch Naruto back! You can't withstand the next attack!"

Just as Kurama was about to retort, he noticed that some black marks had suddenly appeared on Hashirama Senju's face, and his aura had suddenly undergone a qualitative change, surging by a large margin.

Kurama couldn't see clearly, but Naruto and the system knew perfectly well that Hashirama Senju had activated Sage Mode.

Hashirama Senju, after activating Sage Mode, truly unleashed his full power, becoming the legendary God of Shinobi.
