"In this world, there is actually a way to live forever..." Hashirama looked filled with emotion and asked a little greedily:

"This pure gold... is very valuable, isn't it?"

"Well, if you sell it for money, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."

"Is it okay to use it as a lifetime gambling capital?!" Hashirama stretched his head, and the hair tips on both sides of his cheeks swayed back and forth.

"No, no matter how big the family fortune is, it will go bankrupt because of gambling..." Eric's cheeks twitched. The Senju Hashirama, known as the God of Ninja, is actually just a senior gambling dog?

"Ahem!" Hashirama noticed the strange looks from the other people, coughed, and cleared his throat.

"Young man, I feel that your thoughts are very similar to Madara's. If you do this, you will fall into misunderstandings..."

"There is a big difference, and Madara's prediction of the future is not wrong either."

"..." Senju Hashirama was silent. There were indeed many problems in Konoha Village, so much so that the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

"Hashirama, your idea cannot convince me, and my approach cannot win your approval." Eric smiled: "How about we fight, and the loser obeys the winner's order, what do you think?

"

"Are you betting..." Senju Hashirama's expression became serious, and his sharp eyes made Miku tremble. Miku quietly grabbed Eric's arm.

"Young man, are you serious?"

"certainly."

"You have heard about my deeds, but you still choose to fight with me?"

"My goal is to be the strongest in the world. You in front of me are just a mountain."

"...Hahaha!" After hearing this, Senju Hashirama burst out laughing. He laughed for a while, and then his laughter gradually stopped. He looked at Eric: "I will take the next step in this bet!"

"Very good!" Esdeath walked slowly forward a few steps, holding the scabbard with his left hand, and slowly pulled out the Western sword with his right hand: "I will be your opponent."

Hashirama was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Chariot fighting is of no use to me."

"It's not such a superficial idea. I want to fight the strong, that's all."

"Alas..." Kuang San behind Esdeath raised his forehead and sighed: "This fighting maniac."

"I understand, young man." Hashirama closed his eyes, carefully sensing the power contained in Esdeath's body, and then looked at Eric: "We can't treat you young people as ordinary people. Even these few

Same thing..."

"However, it is also the responsibility of the elders to help young people correct their wrong ideas." Senju Hashirama raised his arms and assumed a fighting posture.

"I'm on!" Esdeath rushed towards Hashirama, the blade wrapped in freezing air leaving an icy path on the ground as it passed.

Hashirama's eyes were focused, and he jumped up high with his legs, dodging the sword blade that was slashing horizontally. A piece of ice crystal condensed in the direction where the sword blade cut, and instantly covered the position where Hashirama was standing.

"Ice Escape? No..." Hashirama pulled open the psychic scroll rolled up on his back with his backhand: "I'm afraid this is the ability of the Devil Fruit..."

He slapped the surface of the scroll with one hand, and with a bang, a huge katana appeared in Hashirama's hand, catching Esdeath who was chasing after him.

During the fight between the two, Eric aimed at Senju Hashirama's attributes:

[Name: Senju Hashirama]

[Physique: Eight and a half stars]

[Physical Skills: Nine Stars]

[Swordsmanship: Nine Stars]

[Chakra: Nine Stars]

[Armed color domineering: eight stars]

[Seeing and hearing domineering: eight and a half stars]

[Overlord Color Dominance: Seven Stars]

[Devil Fruit: Nine Stars]

[Comprehensive ability: nine stars]

[Skills: Wood Escape, Healing, Immortal Magic]

There are no shortcomings in his attributes. He is a general when he comes out. He has emperor-level combat power. If Hashirama uses fairy magic, his strength will probably increase by at least half a star.

"Young man, you are very strong." Hashirama held the handle of the knife with one hand and the back of the knife with the other. The force transmitted from the blade gave Hashirama a clearer judgment.

"It's not just strength."

"Kakaka"

Where the two weapons met, white freezing air passed from the Western sword to the katana, and then, snow-white ice crystals began to condense on the blade.

Hashirama decisively abandoned the weapon in his hand and immediately jumped back. The position he was standing on was immediately covered by frost.

"Snapped"

The fingers of Hashirama's hands were interlaced and clasped together: "Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

The ground began to roar, and dozens of vines containing terrifying power burst out of the ground, twisted and grew, and then rolled down, with sharp roots heading towards Esdeath.

With a wave of Esdeath's hand, an ice wall rose from the ground, and the twisted tree roots were cut in half by the ice wall.

Hashirama's hands were still held together, using his own chakra as the source of life. Trees were constantly being spawned, and the tangled trees grew crazily. In a few seconds, the sparse wilderness of trees turned into an ancient and ancient wilderness.

Dense forest.

The trees became more and more terrifying as they advanced, forming a wave of roots and stems, crushing towards the ice wall with an unstoppable momentum, and the ice wall condensed by Esdeath was crushed in an instant.

"Let's stay away." Eric said, then took the hands of the two and stepped away from them.

Looking at the huge waves formed by the trees, Esdeath's expression did not show any panic, but was extremely excited at the moment.

"Take the move!"

Just before the roots of the sea of ​​trees stretched as far as Esdeath, she finally moved.

A blazing white sword light appeared on the surface of the sword that contained the ultimate freezing energy and wrapped around the domineering energy. She immediately swung the long sword, and the blade drew a simple arc in the void, and the sword body seemed to drag out a blazing white light.

The lightning left a physical afterimage on everyone's retinas.

In an instant, a white sword energy as clear and vast as a snowfield rushed towards the sea of ​​trees, almost dyeing the entire blue sky white.

"boom!"

The green of life and the white of silence suddenly collided together, and the tree roots at the front were covered with a layer of crystal frost the moment they came into contact with the white sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, the unstoppable tree waves stopped in place, and the sword energy containing freezing energy passed through the gaps between the trunks and continued to flow forward. Wherever it passed, the tree trunks were frozen.

Hashirama's expression changed, and he continued to spawn more tree trunks to block the spreading sword energy.

"Bang bang bang!"

Cracks gradually appeared on the frozen tree trunks, just like ice melting away and snow melting. Starting from the front, fine ice chips cracked inch by inch.

Without the support of its roots, half of the tree collapsed, and the duel between the two ended in a draw for the time being.

The aftermath of the battle between the two stirred up wind and waves, carrying crystal mist that dispersed from the center of the battle to the distance.

Esdeath raised the Western sword and pointed the sword tip at Hashirama: "Come again!"

Senju Hashirama pursed his lips tightly, but the corners of his mouth on both sides were slightly upward.

"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"

A giant wooden dragon detached itself from the tree trunk and headed straight for Esdeath with its teeth and claws bared.

Esdeath slapped the ground, and a huge sharp ice thorn rose up from the ground. The ice thorn penetrated from the mouth of the wooden dragon, came out from the back of the head, and stabbed Hashirama with unabated force.

"Wooden Release·Wooden Man's Technique!"

A palm stretched out from the thick trunk and grasped the ice spike. Then, a huge wooden man with rosacea was separated from the trunk.

"drink--!"

Driven by Senju Hashirama, Bokuto grasped the ice thorn with both hands and broke it with force, breaking the ice thorn and disintegrating Esdeath's attack.

"go!"

The wooden dragon hovering on the giant's body came to life and swooped towards Esdeath.

"boom!"

The wooden dragon hit the empty ground and its head was buried in the soil.

Esdeath jumped on the dragon's back which was covered with sharp wooden thorns like mane, and rushed towards the pillars using the wooden dragon's body as a path.

In the blink of an eye, Esdeath rushed across a distance of tens of meters, the tip of the sword flashed, and came straight towards Hashirama's chest.

Hashirama didn't dare to be careless at all. He took out the katana from the scroll behind his back and blocked Esdeath's thrust. The cold air spurting from the sword tip fell on Bokuto's left eye, and his yellow eyes immediately

turns white.

"Moonstep!"

The moment he passed by, Esdeath stepped into the void, turned back, twisted his waist, and kicked his heel towards the Senju Pillar.

Caught off guard, Hashirama was kicked in the chest. The heel pierced the red armor on his body and also pierced Hashirama's skin.
