Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!
As Tsunade clapped her hands together and shouted, the scene stunned everyone. In the next instant, under the shocked gazes of those present, the rooftops around them began to crack and collapse. Mighty vines and branches erupted from the ground, growing visibly at an alarming speed.
"Wood Release!"
"Lady Tsunade has awakened the Wood Release!"
The Konoha shinobi exclaimed in disbelief, shouting as they watched the scene unfold.
Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, turned pale, his voice trembling as he muttered, "Impossible!"
Originally, Konoha's twin Mangekyō Sharingan users already seemed absurd. When rumors spread that someone in the Senju clan, likely from the ANBU, had awakened Wood Release, it was hard to believe. But now, it was clear—Tsunade was the true wielder of this legendary ability.
Any plan to sow discord between Konoha's Mangekyō users and their Wood Release users seemed futile now. After all, the two were practically sleeping in the same bed—how could there possibly be a conflict now?
"She's awakened Wood Release!"
Even Madara's eyes flickered with surprise for a brief moment. Nearby, Hashirama, upon witnessing the scene, showed no surprise. Instead, he smiled knowingly. When Tsunade began forming hand seals, Hashirama had a hunch. Seeing her now, he burst into hearty laughter.
"Haha! Little Tsuna is indeed using Wood Release. But let's see how your Wood Release fares against me!"
In the next moment, Hashirama clapped his hands and shouted. Instantly, even more, massive tree vines burst forth, intertwining and twisting, filling the battlefield with their terrifying presence.
Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!
The vines clashed violently, twisting and snapping as enormous branches broke apart and crashed to the ground with thunderous booms. Within mere moments, a dense forest had formed.
"Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
As the two unleashed their techniques, they exchanged a glance. The meaning in their eyes was clear—they instantly understood each other. Both smirked slightly.
It was obvious they wanted to test the strength of their descendants.
Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, Hashirama, despite his fiery enthusiasm, was no fool like Naruto. He had already noticed Konoha's gates were shut tight, and countless Konoha shinobi were taking control of the situation.
This meant that Konoha's internal unrest had been anticipated long before this battle began.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Madara suddenly formed hand seals and appeared in front of Hashirama. Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful Fire Release technique aimed at Tsunade and Shirou.
Standing beside Madara, Hashirama felt a surge of excitement. Even though he was in his Edo Tensei form, the feeling of fighting side by side with Madara again stirred his blood.
"It's been far too long since we fought together!" he shouted with exhilaration.
"Husband!"
Tsunade shouted, and Shirou quickly formed hand seals of his own. In an instant, he released a Fire Release technique of equal intensity.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The sky above the Chūnin Exam arena was engulfed in flames, spreading like a tsunami. Under the terrified gazes of countless onlookers, the two massive firestorms clashed, creating an earth-shaking explosion.
Heat waves swept across the arena, and the sheer force of the collision sent Konoha shinobi and spectators into a panic.
Barrier: Adamantine Sealing Chains!
Just as the situation seemed at its worst, golden chains emerged from all directions, enveloping the entire arena in a protective barrier.
Under the barrier of the Uzumaki clan, the terrifying sea of fire was held at bay, unable to harm those below.
Even with the barrier in place, the overwhelming power of the battle above left everyone trembling. They knew that if the barrier were to fail, everyone in the arena would be incinerated in an instant.
"This... is this a ninja battle?"
"This is on a completely different level!"
"Is this some kind of illusion technique?"
"If this is the power of the Hokage, then what about the Former Third Hokage, who was once called the strongest?"
Suddenly, a loud crashing noise echoed through the massive arena. Kakashi Hatake and the other Jōnin stared in shock at the ongoing match.
"It's Hinata!"
Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!
Hinata Hyūga, her Byakugan glowing with a faint blue light, shouted as she unleashed a powerful strike, blasting a massive hole in the arena.
Opposite her, Gaara coughed up blood, roaring in agony as he began to transform into his Tailed Beast state.
"Blood! I need blood!"
Consumed by rage and pain, Gaara fully gave in to Shukaku, the One-Tail, which emerged in its terrifying form.
"Is that really Hinata?"
Among the Konoha Genin, Naruto and Sasuke looked on in shock. The sheer power Hinata displayed far surpassed their expectations.
"Damn it, it's a Tailed Beast!"
Despite the emergence of Shukaku, Hinata did not falter. Instead, her voice rang out in anger:
"Damn you all! You ruined this moment when Lord Shirou was watching me! I'll kill you!"
This was supposed to be her moment—her chance to shine before Lord Shirou. Instead, everything had been ruined by these interruptions.
Hinata's rage surged, and an ominous energy erupted from her. The Sage Seal on her neck spread across her body, pushing her into a berserk state.
"Tanuki! I'll kill you!"
In her Sage form, Hinata's Gentle Fist style transformed. It was no longer the elegant and refined technique of the Hyūga clan. Instead, it resembled Tsunade's monstrous strength—a ferocious and destructive force.
The petite girl unleashed devastating blows, each one capable of shattering the earth. If not for the protective barriers set up around the arena, countless spectators would have been caught in the collateral damage.
"This... this is a Genin?"
Meanwhile, another figure appeared—Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan. He confronted Danzo Shimura directly, his voice cold and resolute.
"Anyone who obstructs Lord Shirou must die."
"You brat, don't get cocky!"
Danzo, injured and missing an arm, spat blood as he glared at the young shinobi before him. The fact that a mere Genin dared challenge him only fueled his fury.
"Today, this old man will show you the difference between a lowly ninja and me, the great elder..."
However, before Shimura Danzo could finish speaking, a terrifying roar of a heavy punch ripped through the air. In an instant, under the deafening sound, Jugo appeared, now in a berserk state.
"Ahahaha! Kill! Kill! I'll kill you!"
Amid Jugo's bloodthirsty and maniacal laughter, Kimimaro slammed his hand onto the ground and shouted, "Danzo, prepare to die!"
Dance of the Seedling Fern!
At that moment, terrifying bone spikes began sprouting from the walls and roof of the entire examination arena, forcing Shimura Danzo to jump out in a panic.
Danzo was utterly humiliated and frustrated as he struggled to dodge. This was the result of an intelligence gap.
After Danzo was marked as an S-class fugitive of the Hidden Leaf, information about him had already been disseminated to every ninja in the village. Even the ninja academy had special sessions to explain his abilities.
Thus, Kimimaro and Jugo had a detailed understanding of Danzo's techniques, but Danzo, on the other hand, was completely in the dark about the two of them.
Meanwhile, battles raged across the village. The Mist and Sand ninjas who had infiltrated the Hidden Leaf were being counterattacked by Leaf ninjas.
When the invaders entered the village, the gates of the Hidden Leaf were slowly shut behind them, effectively trapping them.
Water Style: Water Formation Wall!
On the rooftop, a terrifying sea of trees was engulfed in flames, while a massive circular water barrier spun furiously to block the destruction.
"Tobirama, be careful! This Fire Style technique surpasses even Madara's!" Hashirama shouted in alarm.
Standing nearby, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but retort, "Idiot! It's this body that's limiting us!"
Under the terrifying Fire Style of Uchiha Shirou, the years of chakra nature transformation he had undergone were evident. His Fire Style, no longer just red, now burned with a brilliant white intensity.
"Uchiha Shirou, you're still far too weak!"
Before the words were finished, a figure suddenly dashed to the water barrier.
Shirou raised his fist high, lightning flickering around it, and swung it down with tremendous force.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, a single punch shattered the powerful defensive Water Style technique.
Water Style: Water Severing Wave!
Suddenly, Senju Tobirama appeared on the other side, his hands clasped together as he unleashed a pre-prepared jutsu.
In an instant, a water tornado rose from nowhere, spinning rapidly upwards before cascading down like a waterfall and spreading outwards.
Whoosh!
"Your opponent is me!"
Uchiha Mikoto appeared, holding the Uchiha clan's iconic Flame Fan. Her mesmerizing Mangekyo Sharingan spun as a terrifying sphere of chakra formed in her palm.
Super Great Ball Rasengan!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spectators who had retreated to the high observation platform were filled with shock.
"To think... to think someone could unleash such a terrifying Water Style technique in a place with no water source! This is beyond imagination!"
"And the destructive power of that Rasengan... the barrier can barely hold up!"
Nobles from prestigious clans, ninjas from various countries, and even the Hidden Leaf shinobi were all stunned by this battle that seemed like a natural disaster.
This was no longer a battle they could participate in. Even elite jonin would pale in comparison in such a fight.
At that moment, Kakashi's face suddenly darkened as he surveyed the unstable arena. It wasn't that the barrier was about to collapse—it was that the sheer intensity of the battle was too overwhelming.
Even with the barrier in place, the shockwaves alone were enough to shake the buildings inside the arena to their breaking point.
"All Earth Style users, prepare yourselves! This arena can't handle this level of combat."
Kakashi quickly performed hand seals and slammed his palm onto the ground. Instantly, the entire arena began to rumble. The earth trembled violently as the circular Chunin Exam arena started to shift.
The arena, shaped like a coliseum, began to open up like a box under the combined efforts of Kakashi and other Earth-style users. The intention was clear—they needed to drive Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, out of the battlefield.
Uzumaki Kushina, who was maintaining the sealing barrier, immediately realized Kakashi's plan. She shouted:
"Kakashi, take over here! I'll drive them to a more suitable battlefield!"
With a loud cry, Kushina unleashed the terrifying chakra tails of the Nine-Tails behind her. With the force of a tidal wave, she swept the battlefield.
Shukaku, who had just emerged and was letting out an excited roar, was immediately struck by one of the Nine-Tails' tails and sent flying.
"Damn fox!" Shukaku roared angrily as his massive body was flung into the Forest of Death, leaving a deep trench in his wake.
At the same time, Kushina directed her remaining chakra tails to sweep across other parts of the battlefield.
Amid the thunderous roars and the cooperation of the Leaf ninjas, the reanimated bodies of the Edo Tensei combatants were all driven into the Forest of Death.
Water Style: Water Severing Wave!
A high-pressure stream of water shot out in a straight line from someone's mouth, sharp like a blade. Everything it touched was sliced cleanly in two.
Witnessing this, Shirou shouted to his companions, "Tsunade! Mikoto!"
Tsunade and Mikoto immediately understood his intention. They retreated, bringing along the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Uchiha Madara to withdraw from the Chunin Exam arena.
Unlike Orochimaru's original Edo Tensei, which could only bring out 30% of the revived ninjas' original strength, Danzo's version was far more formidable. Driven by his hatred for the Uchiha clan, he had spared no effort, using far better sacrifices.
As a result, the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Uchiha Madara were restored to at least 70-80% of their original power.
With the battle shifting to the distant Forest of Death, the entire arena, now opened up by Earth-style techniques, provided a clear view of the action.
"Grandpa... Is this the kind of battle you fought back in your era?"
Kurotsuchi was utterly stunned by the scene before her. Looking at the frail figure of her grandfather, Onoki, she seemed to finally understand. For the first time, she grasped the weight of the battles her grandfather had endured.
Ōnoki stared blankly at the distant, earth-shaking battle, muttering to himself, "They're back... they've all come back."
He had thought that after Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama's deaths, the shinobi world would never see such power again. Yet now, not only had those from the past returned, but the strength wielded by Uchiha Shirou and Tsunade was clearly no less formidable.
The Forest of Death was flattened under a raging sea of fire, reduced to nothing wherever the blazing inferno passed. Even Uchiha Madara couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise and admiration when he saw this scene.
"Not bad..."
At this moment, Madara grew even more exhilarated.
The stronger they became, the more excited Madara felt, especially with that arrogance and wildness—it reminded him so much of his younger self.
No! It was even more perfect than his former self!
Uchiha Shirou had even married Hashirama's granddaughter. While he hadn't seen any children yet, he firmly believed that next time—next time, he would see them.
"Hahaha! Hashirama, do you see this? This is the power of the Uchiha! You were wrong back then—your granddaughter has acknowledged your mistake!"
Madara laughed uncontrollably, his voice echoing without restraint. Although he had anticipated this outcome, actually witnessing it filled him with an irrepressible excitement.
"Do you see this, Hashirama? Uchiha Shirou has followed the path I once walked—and even your granddaughter is walking this path too!"
In contrast to Madara's maniacal laughter, Senju Hashirama, who was boiling with passion, gazed deeply at him and—for the first time—fell into deep thought.
Though the battle had lasted only a brief moment, both sides had been gathering intelligence throughout. Through genjutsu, they had already learned about the developments in the shinobi world over the years.
Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama was fuming with frustration. Konoha had fallen into the hands of the Uchiha, and even Tsunade had become entangled with them.
But just as Tobirama seethed, Hashirama suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Madara, maybe you were wrong back then, but we're already dead. The future belongs to the young, not us old relics. Besides, little Tsuna has awakened the Wood Style as well.
If they have a child with Wood Style, they'll still carry the Senju name!"
"Ridiculous!" Madara glared at Hashirama with venom in his eyes. Although the two were fighting side by side, he refused to let Hashirama gain the upper hand in any way.
"It will awaken the Sharingan!"
"Wood Style!"
"Sharingan!"
The two old relics—long since dead—continued their bickering, veins bulging on Tsunade's forehead as she could no longer hold back her anger. She roared:
"Shut up! You bunch of decrepit fossils! This world no longer belongs to you!"
Instead of being angered, Hashirama burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Little Tsuna, let your old grandpa see if your strength matches that temper of yours!"
"Madara!"
With a loud shout from Hashirama, black markings appeared on his face as he entered Sage Mode in an instant.
Not to be outdone, Tsunade scoffed coldly, her lips curling upward as she yelled:
"You bunch of outdated fossils—you're long past your prime!"
With a sharp clap of her hands, Tsunade also entered Sage Mode. The sight left Hashirama stunned.
"Little Tsuna, you even learned Sage Mode?!"
But that wasn't all. Beside her, Shirou also entered Sage Mode, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly.
"Husband! Let's seal these old fossils once and for all!"
