"Such powerful Chakra."
Seeing Kazekaze unleash his Super Strength, Hashirama didn't hesitate at all. He released his own Chakra in the same manner, stirring the air and creating a gust.
Boom!
The two forces of Chakra collided powerfully, neither yielding, unleashing an even more terrifying force that spread in all directions. Like a raging storm, it swept through the area instantly. The trees swayed, and even the forest seemed to rise from the ground, leaves swirling in the air.
Nearby, Tobirama tensed up, involuntarily stepping back, shocked by the scene before him. From his perspective, both Kazekaze and Hashirama were covered in a layer of purple Chakra. Like a cloak. Beneath them, the ground was cracked. This was merely the effect of their Chakra collision.
"It's not just big brother; even Kazekaze's Chakra can have such a terrifying effect."
Tobirama couldn't help but gasp; he had only known that Kazekaze possessed Super Strength. But it wasn't until today that he realized how terrifying Kazekaze's Super Strength truly was. To think that he was on par with big brother!
"Kazekaze is only seven years old and already has such an astonishing amount of Chakra. If given a few more years, how terrifying would his Chakra be then?"
In fact, it wasn't just Tobirama. Hiruzen, Kagami, Homura, Koharu, Danzo, and White Zetsu, hiding in the shadows, everyone was feeling a chill down their spine, utterly bewildered.
"Kazekaze's unleashed Chakra is actually on par with Lord Hashirama's?"
"You must be joking; he's only seven years old? And he's already matched Lord Hashirama?"
"Kazekaze's Chakra is indeed terrifying."
"What kind of monster did Hashirama give birth to?" White Zetsu couldn't help but comment from the shadows, "If Uchiha Madara saw this, his mindset might just collapse."
In White Zetsu's view, Kazekaze's talent was simply unreasonable. At only seven years old, his Chakra amount was no less than Hashirama's. It's known that even Uchiha Madara, at his peak, needed the Nine-Tails to match Hashirama's Chakra amount. Doesn't this mean that Kazekaze, at seven, has already surpassed Uchiha Madara in Chakra amount? Isn't that just too terrifying!
"Truly amazing Chakra, Kazekaze." Hashirama looked at Kazekaze, not hiding his shock at all. Among all the shinobi he had encountered, in terms of Chakra amount, there was no one else who could compare to Kazekaze. Even seeing Kazekaze's heroic figure, Hashirama couldn't help but feel regret. He wished he could live a few more years, to see Kazekaze grow up, become Hokage, and reach his peak! At that time, he would have a good, satisfying fight with Kazekaze!
"I'm coming, Kazekaze!"
After testing the Chakra, Hashirama's eyes turned sharp. He raised his hands back and charged straight at Kazekaze.
"Here he comes." Kazekaze held his breath, fully focused on observing Hashirama's every move. This battle was no small matter.
'Hashirama is a shinobi whose abilities are affected by Edo Tensei,' Kazekaze thought to himself. Normally, shinobi resurrected by Edo Tensei gain immortality and infinite Chakra. It's equivalent to an enhancement. However, Hashirama... Instead, Edo Tensei limits his power, preventing him from using True Several Thousand Hands and unmarked healing. This is enough to show Hashirama's uniqueness and immense strength! He is now more terrifying than during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Even more terrifying!
Just as Kazekaze thought of this, Hashirama had already rushed in front of him, his hand behind him clenched into a fist, swinging towards Kazekaze.
"Your Chakra is up to par, but how about your taijutsu, Kazekaze!"
Hashirama let out a low roar, concentrating his Chakra into his fist. It was... Super Strength! A punch came rushing towards Kazekaze, stirring the air and forming a strong gust. The power of this punch was even more terrifying than Kazekaze imagined.
'Compared to Hashirama, Might Bai's taijutsu is simply not worth mentioning.'
However, Kazekaze had no intention of dodging. The shinobi in front of him was Senju Hashirama! The First Hokage! The number one below the Sage of Six Paths! Kazekaze's emotions were surging. Kazekaze's eyes were fervent. Kazekaze's mood was exhilarated. He was eager to clash with Hashirama!
"In that case, here I come too!"
Kazekaze let out a low roar towards Hashirama, clenching his fingers into a fist and precisely concentrating his Chakra into it. He used the terrifying jutsu that Tsunade was supposed to have refined.
"Cherry Blossom Impact!"
Kazekaze deliberately aimed at Hashirama's fist and struck back.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Kazekaze's and Hashirama's fists collided powerfully! A terrifying air current spread out in all directions like ripples. It was countless times more overwhelming than the previous Chakra clash! The ground cracked layer by layer, stones flew and rolled in all directions, and the nearest large tree was uprooted! Just one exchange of punches created such a scene!
"Is this Kazekaze's current power?" Tobirama looked on in fear and disbelief. He was very familiar with Hashirama's strength. And he thought that even if his big brother, who was terminally ill, unleashed such power, it wouldn't be surprising. After all, he is the God of Ninjutsu!
However... Kazekaze not only clashed powerfully with Hashirama but also showed no signs of defeat! This kind of thing completely overturned Tobirama's understanding. The current Kazekaze, it turns out... Is he really this strong? He's only seven years old!
Clap clap clap!
Tsunade, in Tobirama's arms, couldn't help but clap her hands, her eyes shining brightly as if emitting light. Kazekaze's handsome figure deeply attracted her. As if Kazekaze was the most handsome person in the world!
It must be said, Kazekaze's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. Hiruzen, Kagami, Homura, Koharu, Danzo, and White Zetsu! None of them had anticipated the situation would be like this. That seven-year-old Kazekaze actually stood on par with the First Hokage, known as the God of Ninjutsu... In a battle... They were evenly matched! Isn't this just too defying of the heavens!
"The scariest part is, it's only been four months since Kazekaze started training, right?"
"He only took four months to gain strength equal to Lord Hashirama?"
"Isn't this kind of thing too shocking!"
"Yeah, this is simply astonishing. Do you think Lord Hashirama might... lose?" Koharu's throat rolled as she began to entertain the thought. The thought that Hashirama might lose! Even she was surprised that she would have such a thought! You have to know, Kazekaze is only seven years old! No matter how terrifying he is, he can't possibly be a match for Hashirama, right? No way, no way!
