"Such strong chakra."
Seeing Kazuku unleash monstrous strength, Hashirama didn't hesitate, matching it with his own chakra, stirring the air into a gale.
Boom!
Their chakras clashed, unyielding, erupting into a terrifying force, spreading in all directions.
Like a hurricane, it swept the area.
Trees swayed, roots exposed, leaves swirling.
Tobirama tensed, stepping back, stunned by the scene.
From his view…
Both Kazuku and Hashirama were cloaked in purple chakra.
Like armor.
The ground beneath them cracked.
This was just the effect of their chakra clash.
"Not just Big Brother, but Kazuku's chakra can produce such a terrifying effect?"
Tobirama gasped. He knew Kazuku had monstrous strength.
But only now did he realize how terrifying it was.
It…
Rivaled Big Brother's!
"Kazuku's only seven, with such chakra. In a few years, how monstrous will it be?"
It wasn't just Tobirama.
Hiruzen, Kagami, Homura, Koharu, Danzo.
And White Zetsu in hiding.
Everyone's scalps tingled, dumbfounded.
"Kazuku's chakra matches Lord Hashirama's?"
"No way, he's seven and tied with Lord Hashirama?"
"Kazuku's chakra is insane."
"What kind of monster did Hashirama sire?" White Zetsu grumbled. "If Madara saw this, his mindset would collapse."
To White Zetsu, Kazuku's talent was unreasonable.
At seven, his chakra rivaled Hashirama's.
Even peak Madara needed the Nine-Tails to match Hashirama's chakra.
Didn't that mean…
At seven, Kazuku surpassed Madara in chakra?
Too terrifying!
"Impressive chakra, Kazuku." Hashirama studied him, not hiding his shock.
Among the ninja he'd met…
In chakra quantity…
No one rivaled Kazuku.
Seeing Kazuku's prowess, Hashirama felt regret.
He wanted to live longer, see Kazuku grow.
Become Hokage.
Reach his prime!
Then fight him again, all out!
"I'm coming, Kazuku!"
After testing chakra, Hashirama's eyes sharpened. He leaned back, charging at Kazuku.
"Here he comes." Kazuku held his breath, watching Hashirama's every move.
This fight was no small matter.
"Hashirama's not a ninja affected by Impure World Reincarnation."
Kazuku thought.
Normally, reincarnated ninja gained immortality and infinite chakra.
An enhancement.
But Hashirama…
Was limited by it, unable to use True Several Thousand Hands or seal-less healing.
It showed his uniqueness and immense power!
Now, he was stronger than during the Fourth War!
As Kazuku thought this…
Hashirama closed in, his raised hand forming a fist, swinging at Kazuku.
"Your chakra's qualified. Let's see your taijutsu, Kazuku!"
Hashirama roared, channeling chakra into his fist.
It was…
Monstrous strength!
The punch surged, stirring a fierce wind.
Its power exceeded Kazuku's expectations.
"Compared to Hashirama, Might Guy's taijutsu is nothing."
But Kazuku didn't dodge.
His opponent…
Was Hashirama Senju!
The First Hokage!
The strongest under the Sage!
Kazuku's emotions surged.
His eyes burned.
His heart raced.
He craved this clash!
"Fine, I'm in!"
Kazuku roared, clenching his fist, precisely channeling chakra.
Using a technique Tsunade would later refine.
"Cherry Blossom Impact!"
Kazuku aimed for Hashirama's fist, meeting it head-on.
Boom!
A deafening clash as their fists met!
A terrifying airflow rippled outward.
Far surpassing their chakra clash!
The ground cracked, stones flew, nearby trees uprooted!
One punch created this scene!
"This is Kazuku's power now?" Tobirama's gaze trembled, incredulous.
He knew Hashirama's strength well.
Even ill, such power wasn't surprising.
He was the God of Shinobi!
But…
Kazuku not only clashed with Hashirama but held his own!
It shattered Tobirama's understanding.
Kazuku was…
This strong?
He's only seven!
Clap clap clap!
Tsunade, in Tobirama's arms, clapped, eyes sparkling.
Kazuku's heroic figure captivated her.
As if he was the coolest person in the world!
Kazuku's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
Hiruzen, Kagami, Homura, Koharu, Danzo, and White Zetsu!
None predicted this.
A seven-year-old…
Fighting the God of Shinobi…
And holding his own!
Too absurd!
"The scariest part is, Kazuku's only trained for four months?"
"Four months, and he's matching Lord Hashirama?"
"This is unheard of!"
"Seriously, it's world-shocking. Could… Lord Hashirama lose?" Koharu swallowed, her mind entertaining…
The idea Hashirama might lose!
Even she was shocked by her own thought!
Kazuku was only seven!
No matter how terrifying, he couldn't be Hashirama's match, right?
No way, no way!
