Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 333: The Strongest Man

Sure.

Everything is still uncertain.

Everyone present was in shock at the formidable presence of the Susanoo Buddha, except for a few men who had personally witnessed the might of Akihara Kagura and still felt somewhat uneasy.

Coincidentally.

Hashirama was one of them.

Even though Hashirama was well aware that the combined power of him and Uchiha Madara using the blue Susanoo Buddha was formidable, and perhaps this was already his peak moment!

But...

Hashirama still lacked confidence.

This was related to Hashirama's humble nature and his experiences. He was not very confident that this peak power could play a decisive role.

Uchiha Madara appeared much more confident!

"Hashirama!"

Uchiha Madara's eyes revealed a hint of arrogant madness!

"Madara!"

Hashirama's expression was extremely grave. He was not at all proud of the Susanoo Buddha statue they had created together. He merely reminded in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate him. That young one can also use the True Several Thousand Hands, and might even be stronger than me..."

"I know..."

Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a playful smile, and his voice was chilling, "The chakra in that kid is not weak..."

The next moment!

Their conversation was not yet over!

Akihara Kagura had already clasped his palms together!

"Sage Mode·Activate!"

"Sage Art·True Several Thousand Hands!"

As Akihara Kagura's chakra surged within his body, the Wooden Human beneath him rapidly grew, and in an instant, another Buddha statue over a thousand meters high emerged on the sea!

This Buddha statue also had countless wooden hands growing from its back, and it was clad in a light white armor that seemed like moonlight, standing in stark opposition to the blue-armored Susanoo Buddha statue!

"!!!"

Everyone present had looks of shock in their eyes!

Everyone was horrified as they looked at Akihara Kagura's True Several Thousand Hands!

"As expected..."

Tobirama sighed inwardly, admitting, "That kid can indeed use this technique on his own..."

When Tobirama saw the Susanoo-armored Wooden Human used by Akihara Kagura, he had a certain estimate in mind.

Akihara Kagura, single-handedly, could contend with the brilliant dual heroes of the Warring States period, and the outcome of this battle once again shifted!

The most terrifying thing was...

Tobirama had previously witnessed Akihara Kagura controlling the True Several Thousand Hands!

This kid's mastery of Wood Release was almost at an unattainable level for ordinary people. He even used the Kannon Buddha statue of True Several Thousand Hands for ninjutsu!

This...

Was truly terrifying!

The next moment!

Akihara Kagura raised his fingers!

Thousands of hands behind the white Susanoo Buddha extended simultaneously, and all the giant Wooden Humans began to form seals!

Even...

These sealing gestures were all different!

"What is happening?"

Yamato looked at the white Susanoo Buddha forming seals, and a sudden fear arose in his heart, as if he had seen something extremely frightening!

The thousand-meter-tall white Susanoo Kannon statue, with thousands of giant hands forming seals simultaneously, some even forming different seals!

Perhaps because of the simultaneous control of thousands of hands doing different things, the sealing speed of the white Susanoo Buddha was very slow, as if it were performing a strange and mysterious dance!

This...

Was completely beyond human understanding!

What was Akihara Kagura's True Several Thousand Hands Buddha statue doing!

"That kid..."

Uchiha Madara looked at the actions of the white Susanoo Buddha, his heart filled with alarm, "Is his Susanoo Buddha forming seals? A thousand hands forming seals simultaneously?"

"..."

Hashirama also felt uneasy!

Even though Hashirama had seen Akihara Kagura use True Several Thousand Hands to perform Dust Release before, the sight of thousands of hands forming different seals simultaneously was unimaginable for a ninja!

What kind of powerful technique was this guy trying to unleash!

What kind of power would this technique have, that it needed the True Several Thousand Hands to assist with the seals, and could not be completed due to the number of seals required?

Once this technique was unleashed...

How terrifying would it be!

Perhaps...

Hashirama himself could use the Multi Shadow Clone Technique to create countless clones, letting these clones form seals, but he could not control his True Several Thousand Hands to form seals!

The only thing Hashirama could do was rely on the countless hands behind True Several Thousand Hands to physically crush the enemy in the simplest way!

"Hashirama!"

A sudden fierceness flashed across Uchiha Madara's face, but his voice remained confident, "Lend me the hands and chakra of the Buddha statue..."

"How many do you need?"

Hashirama turned to look at Uchiha Madara. With the thousand hands of the Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands' Kannon statue, it should be enough for Madara, right?

"I'll do it myself!"

Uchiha Madara quickly manipulated several dozen arms behind his Susanoo to form hand seals. He could only control a few, and they all had to make the same seal.

"We can't let this kid complete those seals..."

Madara's hands moved rapidly, a determined look on his face. Perhaps this battle itself was a fight to the death!

In the Warring States period, every battle...

Ninjas had to risk their lives even in minor clashes; this was nothing unusual. Madara's eyes were cold as he quickly completed his hand seals. Huge meteors began to fall from the sky!

However, Akihara Kagura remained unhurried, controlling the white Susanoo to extend a massive wooden hand, gently catching the meteors...

The Earth Release: Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique instantly reduced the gravity of the meteors to the lightest, making it easy to catch each one!

"Hashirama!"

Madara sharply looked at his friend!

"I understand!"

Hashirama immediately grasped Madara's intention! The blue Susanoo extended countless hands, each covered with blue armor, some even holding giant samurai swords!

However...

Akihara Kagura remained calm.

The white Susanoo's giant hand completed the seals.

Suddenly, the sea rose up! A massive wave, towering thousands of meters high, surged like an apocalyptic disaster, forming a gigantic water wall to block the blue Susanoo's attack!

"A water barrier created with the power of the True Several Thousand Hands..."

Hashirama instantly recognized the technique, his heart surging with shock. What level of chakra, what level of control could achieve this with the True Several Thousand Hands?

"Cut it down!"

Madara controlled the blue Susanoo's arm, which held a huge samurai sword, slicing the thousand-meter-high wave in half with one stroke! No matter how strong the Water Release technique was, it was only a single cut against Susanoo's slash!

The full-body Susanoo's sword slash alone could cleave mountains and rivers, let alone the True Several Thousand Hands in its powerful state! The divided wave fell, sweeping towards all the onlookers. Yamato watched the incoming wave in horror!

Fortunately, the people present were all powerful. Eight-Tails' jinchūriki Killer Bee immediately entered full beast transformation, turning into a massive ox-octopus, scooping up each ninja!

"This battle is beyond our ability to watch!"

Yamato hastily spoke as he saw the thousand-meter-high Susanoo clash: "We should retreat to a safe place now!"

"…"

Tobirama shook his head, standing effortlessly on the water: "But this battle is crucial to the survival of the ninja world..."

No matter what, he had to stay and see it through! This was the most terrifying battle in a thousand years! The strongest duo of the previous era, Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, were joining forces against the new generation's ninja god, Akihara Kagura, whose wisdom and combat power were equally terrifying!

This battle...

No one who witnessed it would want to leave!

On the other hand,

The battle had begun.

After Turtle Island sank completely, Uchiha Sasuke, under Uchiha Itachi's pursuit and occasional guidance, finally found Uchiha Shisui.

Sasuke also saw a red-eyed crow on Shisui's shoulder, immediately intending to borrow the Mangekyo Sharingan from that crow.

"Sasuke, don't rush into the fight."

Shisui looked at the two thousand-meter-high Susanoo clashing in the distance and spoke softly: "At least wait until that battle is over, right?"

"Shisui, your Rinnegan..."

Sasuke raised his eyes, observing Shisui and the figures around him, some of whom were familiar, all possessing Rinnegan.

"Because I am his puppet."

Shisui looked at the white Susanoo fighting in the distance and spoke indifferently about his past: "When I tried to commit suicide, Akihara Kagura saved me and turned me into a puppet with Rinnegan..."

"…"

Sasuke had heard of such things.

It was said that a man named Nagato also fought as a puppet controlled by Rinnegan. Akihara Kagura seemed to be no exception, with even the most terrifying of his puppets, Hanzo of the Salamander, leading the ninja alliance.

Obviously.

Hanzo of the Salamander was among them too.

These Rinnegan puppets all possessed strange abilities! While Sasuke hesitated, a group of ninjas arriving for support saw him confronting six figures!

Everyone's face changed instantly! After all...

Among them was Hanzo of the Salamander, who had just humiliated them!

"Are these the Six Paths puppets created by Akihara Kagura?"

Jiraiya immediately recognized their identities based on Hanzo of the Salamander, the number of people, and their eyes: "Are all the puppets here?"

"But... their identities are truly shocking..."

Orochimaru's gaze fell on each figure and he sighed softly: "Even Uchiha Shisui, the genius of the village, has been turned into a puppet..."

"Shisui!"

Many people recognized Uchiha Shisui!

There were many familiar faces among them, but the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Uchiha Shisui, once known as the greatest genius of the Uchiha clan in Konoha!

Now...

Shisui has been made into a puppet!

"And there's Sasori of the Red Sand..."

Gaara recalled that Sasori had once assisted in kidnapping him!

"Kisame... and... Mangetsu..."

Mei Terumi looked at the two people from her village, among whom Hoshigaki Kisame was a rogue ninja, unexpectedly appearing here.

"Hanzo of the Salamander, this guy..."

Third Tsuchikage Onoki began to roll up his sleeves.

"Who is that person?"

Someone looked in surprise at one of the unfamiliar faces.

Because no one had seen that guy before, he didn't look like a famous ninja from the Five Great Nations' villages. Was he just someone randomly chosen by Akihara Kagura?

"That's a member of the Akatsuki... a guy named Hidan..."

Tsunade was very familiar with the identities of some members of the Akatsuki, especially since Hidan had once been captured and brought back to the village by the Root ninjas.

"Sorry..."

"Passage is prohibited here."

Tendo Shisui looked at the bustling allied forces, stretched out his hand, and said softly: "Although I don't want to do this either, my orders are to prevent anyone from approaching..."

Tendo Shisui was very polite, continuing softly: "Moreover, it would be too dangerous to get closer; this is the safest spectator position on the front battlefield..."

"We're not here to watch!"

Gaara waved his hand, and a mass of sand flew up!

"But..."

Tendo Shisui looked at the people present and continued to persuade softly: "You wouldn't be able to participate either, would you? This battle is not something we can take part in..."

"You have to try to know..."

Third Tsuchikage Onoki's body floated into the air.

The Five Kage led the remaining ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces here not to spectate but to stop Akihara Kagura!

While they were having this conflict, Uchiha Sasuke rushed forward, reaching out to grab the crow on Shisui's shoulder: "Sorry, Shisui, I need to borrow your eyes for a bit..."

"Shinra Tensei!"

Tendo Shisui raised his hand!

A massive repulsive force suddenly erupted from his body, instantly sending Uchiha Sasuke flying!

"He is a Tendo puppet!"

Jiraiya immediately recognized Uchiha Shisui's identity and said solemnly: "Everyone, pay attention now. The abilities of the Six Paths puppets differ. Each puppet has unique abilities. Tendo's ability is repulsion and attraction; the repulsion has a cooldown period. The greater the power, the longer the charging time for the next use..."

As Jiraiya was introducing this, Uchiha Sasuke activated Susanoo, continuously shooting purple giant arrows at Tendo Shisui!

The next moment!

A green Susanoo appeared on Tendo Shisui!

The third form of the green Susanoo donned armor. This green Susanoo opened the armor on its chest, shooting out countless dense green arrows!

"!!!"

Jiraiya's voice suddenly halted!

What is happening with the Uchiha of this era? Every Uchiha appearing on the battlefield is using Susanoo immediately?

"Let's deal with them first."

Tsunade clenched her fist, looking at the two thousand-meter-high Susanoo Buddhas fighting in the distance, and said solemnly: "Let's get over there quickly... we might not be able to intervene in that battle... but we can be the straw that breaks the camel's back!"

"Look at that battlefield!"

A terrified voice emerged from the crowd!

While they were discussing, a ninja looked in horror at the distant battle, and everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze!

On the battlefield over the sea.

The thousand-meter-high blue Susanoo Buddha was still advancing aggressively!

The thousand-meter-high white Susanoo Buddha was calmly finishing a series of hand signs. Everyone saw the white Susanoo's hand signs finally stopping after a long time. The technique performed by those thousand hands forming seals would be unimaginable!

"The hand signs..."

"Are complete..."

Everyone stared intently at the white Susanoo Buddha.

Because they also wanted to see the white Susanoo Buddha simultaneously forming seals with thousands of hands, they wondered what technique it was performing and how terrifying its power could be!

"Could it be thousands of types of ninjutsu?"

Hashirama squinted his eyes, sensing the chakra within the white Susanoo Buddha. "I remember that little guy can use multiple types of ninjutsu simultaneously..."

This was also what Hashirama speculated. Was Akihara Kagura trying to use the Thousand-Armed Kannon to release thousands of powerful ninjutsu?

A fierce wind arose over the entire sea!

The waves surged instantaneously!

Towering waves gushed from beneath the white Susanoo Buddha, lifting its body, and the white Susanoo Buddha rose higher and higher!

Everyone was astonished and quickly dodged the rising waves!

"What is going on?"

Uchiha Madara frowned, his gaze slowly moving from the white Susanoo Buddha to the sea below. "There seems to be something in the sea..."

In the next moment!

Everyone saw why the white Susanoo Buddha was rising!

A gigantic Buddha, even more terrifying than the white Susanoo Kannon statue, slowly emerged. This Buddha, formed by seawater, held the Kannon statue in its hands. Its palm lifted the white Susanoo Kannon statue, which stood over a thousand meters tall!

This gigantic Buddha, composed of seawater, did not appear imposing; it even looked somewhat kind and gentle, like the water forming it, with a compassionate smile on its face, making observers feel inexplicably peaceful.

However...

This did not stop others from fearing it!

Even though this giant Buddha was just sitting on the sea surface, even though it looked somewhat plump, it was at least several thousand meters tall!

Likewise!

This Buddha, even while seated, was several thousand meters in length and width!

Its mere size was equivalent to a massive city!

Because its right hand...

Could lift the white Susanoo Kannon statue!

Just one hand could lift the thousand-meter-tall white Susanoo Kannon statue. Neither the size nor the strength of the giant Buddha could be contended with by anyone present!

Everyone who saw this Buddha was in disbelief, their eyes wide as if this kind and compassionate Buddha was the most terrifying thing in the ninja world!

"You must be kidding... right..."

Yamato's forehead was drenched in sweat, looking incredulously at the city-sized giant Buddha, his heart pounding.

"A technique of this level..."

"Is it really something humans can perform?"

Tobirama's hand finally started trembling. As an expert in developing ninjutsu, he naturally understood the difficulty and power of this technique.

"This technique was inspired while researching the First Hokage's True Several Thousand Hands. It is my first attempt, and even forming the seals is very complicated..."

Akihara Kagura stood within the crystal of Susanoo, looking down at the relatively small blue Susanoo Kannon statue, and spoke seriously, "But I want to use this technique to pay tribute to the two legendary figures of the Warring States period, as a reward for your full-force confrontation with me..."

"Kid, your talent is truly terrifying..."

Uchiha Madara smiled slightly, not caring whether Akihara Kagura was praising or mocking them, and praised him instead. "Among all the people I've seen, I've never encountered a technique of this level... In terms of power or the difficulty of execution, it is beyond the reach of others... It's enough to be called the strongest..."

This is a technique that requires thousands of hands of the True Several Thousand Hands to cooperate in forming the seals!

The difficulty of performing this technique far exceeds the imagination of ninjas!

Even if other ninjas had the same terrifying chakra as Akihara Kagura, it would take an unknown amount of time to complete the hand seals for this technique. Other methods would be needed to assist in forming the seals!

The number of hand seals for all the techniques in the ninja world combined might not exceed the number of hand seals for this technique. This level of technique must possess earth-shattering power!

"Then..."

Hashirama raised his hand, slowly clasping his palms together, and smiled. "Let's decide the victor at this moment!"

In the next second!

Hashirama and Uchiha Madara simultaneously controlled the blue Susanoo Buddha to charge towards the gigantic Buddha controlled by Akihara Kagura, their chakra surging wildly!

Thousands of arms extended from the back of the blue Susanoo Buddha, each hand covered with blue Susanoo armor plates, wielding huge Susanoo swords, attacking the giant Buddha sitting on the sea surface!

In the next moment!

The giant Buddha on the sea surface extended its free left hand!

As it extended its left hand, countless waves surged with its movement, causing the entire sea surface to churn with wind and clouds!

Accompanied by water waves, wind, and dark clouds, the giant Buddha's wide, translucent left hand directly grabbed the blue Susanoo Kannon statue, crushing it into countless pieces!

In an instant!

The battle was decided!

The compassionate giant Buddha seemed to bestow mercy upon the world, directly and decisively crushing the True Several Thousand Hands Kannon statue!

This scene...

Was like a human crushing an insect!

The immense shadow cast by this scene...

Completely shrouded everyone's hearts!

Everyone who witnessed this scene knew very well who the victor of this battle was and who the victor of this war was!

In the current ninja world...

No one could match Akihara Kagura!

This man performed a new ninjutsu, like the descent of a god, completely defeating the two strongest individuals of the previous era. The joint effort of Uchiha Madara and Hashirama's Susanoo True Several Thousand Hands seemed utterly fragile!
