"Roar, roar, roar!"
Suddenly, the Ten Tails beneath Uchiha Madara let out a thunderous roar, its sound reverberating like a storm. Without warning, the Ten Tails stretched out its massive front claw and struck toward Ishigami Hara and the other two, creating a tremendous wind pressure, like a hurricane sweeping through, terrifying in its intensity.
In the face of this monstrous attack, Ishigami Hara and the others made no unnecessary movements. They simply flickered and vanished, reappearing in another location, easily evading the blow.
It must be said that the Ten Tails' sheer size was overwhelming. Just one of its front claws was as large as an entire tailed beast, and its movement alone unleashed a terrifying force.
Rumble!
The enormous claw crashed onto the ground, as if splitting heaven and earth. The impact sent shockwaves through the ground, causing massive tremors and upheavals. The hills nearby were shattered under the force of the blow.
The location where Ishigami Hara and the others had been standing also shook from the tremendous vibrations, but they remained calm, merely shifted several meters by the impact.
"You two, go and fight to your heart's content."
Ishigami Hara raised two fingers to form a tiger seal. In the next moment, the two felt an unusual change within their bodies.
"..."
Senju Tobirama looked at his own smoking form, sensing the powerful vitality and chakra coursing through him, and was momentarily stunned. He looked at Ishigami Hara with astonishment. "Kid, this is Impure World Reincarnation!"
Ishigami Hara smiled. "Of course, but this is a special Forbidden Technique I developed, blending Impure World Reincarnation with other secret methods. As for the name... I haven't quite decided yet. How about calling it Wood Release: Reincarnation Technique?"
Senju Tobirama gazed deeply at Ishigami Hara, trying to discern something from his expression. Unfortunately, he saw only a calm smile.
As the creator of Impure World Reincarnation, Senju Tobirama understood how unique and powerful the effect he was experiencing truly was.
In short, he was alive!
Yes!
He had transformed from a dead soul to a living being. His flesh and blood, his chakra, and even the feeling of release within his soul all confirmed this fact.
This wasn't simply returning to the world of the living through Impure World Reincarnation; it was a true feeling of rebirth.
"How did you do it?" he asked, his voice filled with the curiosity and excitement of a researcher.
Ishigami Hara shook his head. "This technique isn't universal. To be precise, only I can perform it. Besides, Second Hokage, don't you think asking such questions at this time is a bit out of place?"
He gestured toward the massive Ten Tails in the distance as he spoke.
Senju Tobirama took a deep breath, shifted his gaze to the Ten Tails, and readied himself, exuding a fierce fighting spirit.
"Big Brother!"
He called out, trying to reach Senju Hashirama, who was staring at his hands in amazement.
"Incredible! My current state feels no different from my prime!"
Senju Hashirama was knowledgeable, but rather than focusing on the resurrection itself, he marveled at his restored strength.
"Now's not the time for that, Big Brother. It's time to begin."
Senju Tobirama quickly formed hand seals and slapped the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
A large scroll appeared, which Senju Tobirama immediately unsealed. After a puff of white smoke, a pile of special kunai appeared on the ground.
Senju Hashirama came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and directed his gaze toward the Ten Tails with a look of caution.
"Then, let's get started." He nodded slightly at Ishigami Hara. "Young man, thank you."
Ishigami Hara simply smiled.
"I'm going, Tobirama!"
"Understood!"
The two brothers positioned themselves on opposite sides, with Senju Hashirama clasping his hands together as black markings appeared on his face.
"Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
Crack!
Boom!
The ground beneath Senju Hashirama swelled up, and a small sapling broke through the soil, quickly entwining and merging as it expanded, transforming rapidly.
Ishigami Hara, standing beside him, noticed the ground beneath his feet had been replaced by an expanse of dense wood. The texture was vivid, and chakra surged within it, nearly boiling over.
The structure rose quickly, initially just ten or twenty meters, until it reached a towering height of nearly four hundred meters.
Seen from afar, an enormous Buddha statue with a lotus pedestal loomed over the earth, countless palms spread out behind it like blazing flames, layered and stacked to project immense pressure.
On the Ten Tails, Uchiha Izuna felt a new sensation in his body, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
Uchiha Madara noticed the change immediately. "Izuna, that feeling in your body... could it be life?"
Uchiha Izuna took a deep breath and nodded. "It seems so. I don't know what kind of technique that kid used, but it's truly astonishing!"
Uchiha Madara shook his head, his expression serious. "The technique itself isn't important, but that kid's actions are incredibly unpredictable."
Ishigami Hara's apparent indifference toward Uchiha Izuna, despite their opposing positions, was unexpected for Uchiha Madara and made him feel a subtle, inexplicable pressure.
"Yes, that kid... he's frighteningly unpredictable."
Uchiha Izuna understood the intent behind Ishigami Hara's actions; it seemed that, regardless of their alliance, the young shinobi treated this monumental event with remarkable detachment.
"Well, now's not the time for contemplation. Izuna, leave Hashirama to me, and we can finally fight side by side again!" Uchiha Madara declared.
"Yes, Big Brother. This time, I won't lose!"
The two brothers looked at the massive Buddha statue rising from the earth, a brief silence passing between them.
"Hashirama's power has returned to this level… Izuna, how about you?" Uchiha Madara asked.
Uchiha Izuna assessed himself and responded confidently. "I feel exactly as I did in my prime."
"I see. It looks like the next battle will be fierce. Let's go!"
