Chapter 087: Melee

A loud shout came from the ground. Wang Bo looked down and saw that Hashirama Senju had recovered and was performing a jutsu, creating a huge wooden dragon that lunged at him with claws bared.

Wang Bo raised an eyebrow, placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade, and then sheathed it.

Supersonic · Iaido Slash!

In an instant, Wang Bo drew his blade, delivered a fatal strike, and sheathed it again.

The wooden dragon created by Hashirama Senju had just pounced in front of Wang Bo when its head was split in two by a terrifying force, losing its vitality. This force even traveled down the dragon's body.

Eventually, it split the dragon's body in half and then cleaved Hashirama Senju, who had created the dragon, in two.

But even so, it still couldn't kill Hashirama Senju.

After all, he was now in an Impure World Reincarnation body. Without破解 this jutsu, killing these few people was nothing but a pipe dream, utterly impractical.

On the other hand, after Wang Bo clashed with the Hokage of Konoha, his subordinates swarmed forward.

Konoha's side naturally refused to be outdone and charged in as well.

The two sides engaged in a massive melee.

Wang Bo's dozens of subordinates formed hand seals and entered Sage Mode. Suddenly, dozens of experts with senjutsu chakra appeared on the scene, each capable of unleashing formidable combat power.

Each of these dozens could be treated as Kage-level fighters, and when they joined forces, their power was terrifyingly immense.

Konoha's side was almost instantly overwhelmed and thrown into disarray.

Sometimes, when high-end power is too great, ordinary numbers mean nothing.

Even though Konoha had numerical superiority, facing dozens of masters in Sage Mode and numerous ninjas with seal-less jutsu, they were simply not on the same level.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Sakumo Hatake all realized this.

Tobirama Senju exchanged a glance with Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake, hoping the two could hold off Wang Bo, and then he unhesitatingly charged into the battlefield.

He decided to first eliminate the dozens of ninjas who had mastered Sage Mode, as they posed too great a threat to Konoha.

However, just as Tobirama Senju moved, a terrible cold current suddenly rushed over from one side, freezing the ground wherever it passed. The cold current formed a ferocious dragon that lunged at Tobirama Senju.

Sensing the cold current, Tobirama Senju instinctively used the Flying Thunder God Technique to evade it.

When he regained his bearings and looked toward the source of the cold current, he saw a man of such beauty that his gender was ambiguous standing atop the dragon's head, rushing forward and looking down at Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju's heart skipped a beat. His instincts told him this was a formidable enemy.

The one blocking Tobirama Senju was none other than Haku.

Facing the renowned Second Hokage, Haku did not slack off. He immediately entered Sage Mode, his power instantly soaring to an astonishing level.

Even Tobirama Senju was taken aback, as the opponent's chakra fluctuations far exceeded those of his own living days and even approached those of his elder brother when alive.

Damn it, I never expected there to be such a powerful figure in this era.

Haku vanished from the dragon's head with a Shunpo, instantly closing in on Tobirama Senju and throwing a punch.

Ice Release · Diamond Dust Fist!

To defeat this Hokage, Haku unleashed a powerful move right from the start, giving the opponent no time to react. However, Tobirama Senju managed to escape at the last moment using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama Senju was thoroughly familiar with it and could easily escape from certain death and turn the tables in impossible situations.

He not only dodged Haku's fist but also appeared behind Haku, thrusting a kunai at Haku's neck in an attempt to kill him.

Unfortunately, Haku's body was as hard as steel, and ordinary kunai could not harm him in the slightest.

With a clang, sparks flew.

Without even turning his head, Haku clenched his right fist and swung it backward with force.

A terrifying cold burst forth, as if to freeze everything around, forming a cage to trap Tobirama Senju. But Tobirama Senju seemed prepared and escaped just in time.

After that, the two began a chase.

For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake had engaged Wang Bo. Both were Kage-level in life, but now summoned by Impure World Reincarnation, their strength was halved.

Relying on such power to hold off Wang Bo was nothing but a pipe dream.

Even Minato Namikaze, with his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, was no match for Wang Bo. In just a few moves, Wang Bo shattered both him and Sakumo Hatake.

Though this couldn't kill them, at least it would take some time for them to recover.

At that moment, Hashirama Senju had already recovered. Using his boundless chakra, he slapped the ground.

Wood Release · All-Encompassing Bag of Hands Technique!

A massive amount of chakra was sent into the ground by Hashirama Senju. The earth trembled violently, and in an instant, countless wooden hands emerged, lunging at Wang Bo in the sky.

This was the All-Encompassing Bag of Hands Technique, which could create numerous wooden hands that could be manipulated at will. Compared to the Wood Dragon Technique that drove a giant wooden figure, this one had higher versatility and mobility.

Although this technique released many giant hands, the activation time was very short, and the enemy couldn't predict where the hands would appear. This elusive ability made it difficult for ordinary people to evade.

Moreover, its power was terrifying. It could easily catch the sword of Susanoo and even grab the limbs of the Nine-Tails, pinning it to the ground.

It was with this technique that the Nine-Tails was once caught by the First Hokage and turned into Konoha's jinchuriki.

Wang Bo did not dare to be careless against this technique. He gripped the hilt of his blade and, in an instant, unleashed a series of terrifying slashes. The massive slashes descended from the sky, dense as a net, shredding the countless arms into pieces.

Supersonic · Flying Slash!

Facing the descending slashes, Hashirama Senju quickly retreated and created numerous arms to shield himself, expending a huge amount of chakra to barely block the attack.

He looked up at Wang Bo and clicked his tongue softly.

Such power was truly terrifying. If he were still alive, he might have been able to fight this opponent, but unfortunately, he was dead, his strength far below his prime, and he could only be suppressed.

It seemed that Konoha was truly in danger this time.

If things went wrong, the Konoha he had built might really cease to exist.
