The sky and the earth were white with frost, and the temperature was unimaginably low.
Almost instantly, all birds, animals, insects and fish within a radius of nearly ten kilometers froze to death.
The warm sea breeze blowing from the other side,
While passing through the frozen waves.
It turned into a howling cold wind at an extremely fast speed.
It blew violently past Kuzan and Senju Hashirama.
I don’t know when.
The two of them stopped talking.
"Wood escape. King Kong moves wood!"
Senju Hashirama's hands on his chest were clasped together.
next moment.
With the surge of purple chakra.
The four thick trunks, wrapped in rough bark and with sharp tips, broke through the hard frozen soil with some difficulty.
But just when they were exposed to the air and rushed towards Kuzan.
White frost has condensed on the surface of the tree bark visibly to the naked eye.
Finally, it turned into four icicles and stopped in mid-air about twenty meters away from Kuzan.
Senju Hashirama frowned, and then he lowered his head and glanced gently, and found that frost was also appearing on his feet, but the speed of formation was not that fast.
"Is the temperature so low? It seems to be dropping..."
Senju Hashirama knew that he had to fight quickly, otherwise the longer he delayed, the worse it would be for him.
He somewhat understood why the World Government sent General Aoki Pheasant here.
【Swish, swish, swish!】
At this moment, twelve ice spears with flashing cold light struck through the air.
Senju Hashirama immediately shook off the ice on his feet and dodged the first three in succession with his agile skills.
But it became increasingly difficult for him to dodge the ice spears that followed.
Until the tenth root was surprised to find that he had no way to escape.
The last three ice spears had completely blocked the position where he could dodge.
"drink!"
In this case, Senju Zhujian simply stopped dodging.
When he gathered the chakra into his fist, he swung it hard in front of him, forming a raging fist wind that exploded the three ice spears coming towards him one after another.
But Senju Hashirama's expression became even more serious.
Because Kuzan, who was exuding cold air, appeared behind him at some point, and the ice blade in his body had turned into a sword and burst out.
The next second.
With a 'pop' sound, Senju Hashirama's body was cut in two, and a large area of frost spread across the break.
However, Kuzan didn't even look at the 'remains'.
His dull eyes just glanced at the ten o'clock position.
Senju Hashirama, who suddenly appeared there, was besieged by seven or eight ice spikes rising from the ground.
The 'body' in front of Kuzan turned into two frozen wooden piles.
at the same time.
Senju Hashirama on the other side was caught off guard and was pierced by those ice spikes all over his body.
But at this moment.
Kuzan's body suddenly rioted, and he swung the ice blade in his hand towards the three o'clock direction on the other side.
At that location another Senju Hashirama appeared again.
"Drink!"
When there is no way to avoid it.
The 'strange power fist' swung with all its strength collided with the flying slash with surging cold air.
The purple energy light and the white and bluish sword light clashed in the field.
While setting off a fierce wave of icy air, it also cracked and exploded a large area of frozen soil within a radius of nearly half a kilometer.
The 'Senju Hashirama' at the ten o'clock position turned into a lifelike wooden figure and fell into pieces under the ice thorns.
【Whoosh!】
At this time, Senju Hashirama used the force of the explosion to pull back nearly a hundred meters.
"Huh...what a powerful opponent..."
Senju Hashirama endured the discomfort of breathing in the low-temperature cold air while looking at the cut on his right hand that was frozen with frost.
Although there was no blood due to the state of reincarnation in the filthy earth.
But he also noticed that the damaged areas seemed to show no signs of recovery.
Is it because of the ice?
Senju Hashirama immediately exploded chakra in his hand and shattered it.
But even without the hindrance of frost.
The rebirth effect of the Earth Reincarnation has not started to take effect either.
Why?
"Ah la la~ It seems that you have not only mastered armed Haki, but also awakened the Haki of knowledge."
"It's just that with your current level of domineering, it doesn't mean much in a battle of this level."
Kuzan walked up to Senju Hashirama again and said calmly.
He was not surprised that the other party had awakened to the domineering power.
Seeing, hearing, and being domineering depends on the talent at the spiritual level.
A strong person like Senju Hashirama who can release his momentum independently and can also sense the breath.
It is easy to master it after being exposed to Haki.
But it's just a preliminary step.
Although Senju Hashirama's majestic momentum is invincible in the ninja world.
His domineering strength was enough to surpass most people who had just awakened their domineering power at the beginning, and even many ordinary people who had been immersed in domineering for more than ten years.
That is, the combat power at the level of colonel, senior colonel, brigadier general, and major general.
no way.
This is the cruel reality.
A lifetime of hard work for most people may be just a starting point for some people.
When people get started, they will surpass all your efforts.
There is no reason at all.
But it's a pity.
The opponent Senju Hashirama faced was either Aramaki or Kuzan in front of him.
Therefore, his domineering power appears to be very fragile.
In addition to allowing him to have the ability to touch the body of natural ability users without turning on the immortal mode.
To say it is the icing on the cake is a bit high-key.
At most, it has improved a certain level of perception and body protection abilities.
But these can be used to deal with combat power below lieutenant general.
Putting it in front of Kuzan is basically like a decoration.
The domineering power of seeing and hearing has been completely suppressed, so there is no need to mention it.
Armed color and domineering aspect.
Even if you use hardening, you can't block any attacks at all.
Therefore, the power Senju Hashirama can rely on.
In fact, it is still the abilities that I have always possessed.
However......
It is difficult for trees created by Wood Release to be effective in front of Kuzan's frozen fruits.
The recovery effect of the Reincarnation of the Dirty Land has also been targeted.
In terms of perception and physical skills, he is even more at a disadvantage.
Senju Hashirama felt unprecedented pressure.
He could feel that Kuzan's strength was not only much stronger than that of Arammu, but his ability was even better than his own.
"In this case, we can only give it a try..."
Feeling the increasingly cold temperature, Senju Hashirama made a decision in his heart.
"Sage Mode!"
As his hands formed the seal of self again in front of him.
Green eyeshadow lines instantly appeared on his face.
at the same time.
The body is filled with chakra of yang escape nature.
It is rapidly transforming into more advanced magic chakra.
Kuzan didn't stop.
He just looked at Senju Hashirama with great interest.
“It’s really interesting to absorb natural energy into the body~”
Just now.
He sensed that the ice-attributed natural energy around Senju Hashirama suddenly poured into the opponent's body.
However, according to the information related to magic provided by the World Government.
The natural energy absorbed by Senju Hashirama should not only be of ice nature.
The magic of this 'ninja world'.
It doesn't seem to be broken down into different attributes like the super dangerous species in the Teigu world.
Such a simple and crude method increases the practitioner's risk several times.
But it also lowers the threshold for cultivation.
Basically, as long as it's done in the right way.
All ninjas can attempt to sense and absorb natural energy.
certainly.
Huge risks must lead to huge sacrifices.
Taking advantage of the physical advantages brought by the natural frozen fruit, he gained the ability to sense and absorb ice-based natural energy after drinking the 'Red Lotus Blood'.
It is impossible to become popular until the frozen Devil Fruit cannot be mass-produced or the ice-type physique can be obtained in other ways.
Following Senju Hashirama's loud shout, the surrounding frozen beach shook again.
【Bang bang bang...】
This time.
The thick and long trees broke through the frozen soil and ice easily.
Under him, they quickly gathered into a giant wooden figure that was climbing steadily.
However, the appearance of this wooden man is no longer the "big nose" like before. Instead, it is modeled after himself.
It’s like a super-sized wooden clone!
It seems that Qian Shu Feijian made a casual comment before.
It still touched Senju Hashirama’s heart...
But he was not in the mood to think about such insignificant things right now.
"Okay, the wooden man made with magic chakra, coupled with the armed domineering on the surface, can indeed resist the invasion of low temperature!"
Senju Hashirama looked down at the very, very, very beautiful big wooden man with joy.
Even he himself no longer feels cold because of the magic chakra in his body.
But there's no time to waste now.
Even if he was in immortal mode, it would only last for about thirty minutes at most.
It can be said that every minute and every second is extremely precious.
Senju Hashirama stands above the wooden figure.
Kuzan stared at the distance with his eyes indifferently, silently watching Kuzan perform his magic.
Knowing that he was being underestimated, he gritted his teeth and shouted again.
"Immortal method. Wood escape. Thousands of hands!"
Senju Hashirama didn't hesitate at all and directly used all his strength.
He must decide the winner within thirty minutes.
【Boom boom boom boom!】
On the frozen land by the sea, huge trees are constantly sprouting from the ground.
The sound was so huge that it resounded throughout the sky.
Truly earth-shattering.
Facing such a spectacular scene, Kuzan just cooperated and quickly backed away.
At the same time, he admired the "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" that was rapidly taking shape in front of him with an expression of surprise.
Whether it's its size comparable to a mountain peak or its exquisite 'carving' craftsmanship, it's all beautiful in his eyes.
Not to mention the surging momentum of the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, which is as powerful as a mountain or a sea.
This made Kuzan admired from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart.
If such an opponent were not for the power of the ‘Star Gate’,
It is impossible for them to come into contact with it in this life.
Lord Yinmu, what an amazing existence...
"Ah la la~ Then let me get serious here too~"
"Ice Age!"
As the coat of justice behind him rustled in the cold wind.
The power of the frozen fruit turned into invisible fluctuations and erupted from Kuzan's tall body.
In an instant.
Amidst the loud "rumbling" noise.
It was several times stronger than before.
The earth shook, the mountains shook, and the sea of trees shattered.
There is no exaggerated horror in these descriptions.
"This is......"
Standing between the Thousand-Armed Pillars on the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, which is seven or eight hundred meters high, you can look at the vast sea of frost-frozen trees all around and the frozen ocean as far as the eye can see. One giant tower after another rises from the ground.
The icebergs formed a series of white mountains in the blink of an eye, and subconsciously, the eyes opened to their maximum size.
But this is not the end.
The next second, Senju Hashirama suddenly raised his head.
I was shocked to find that the clear blue sky before had been shrouded in thick dark clouds.
At the same time, large tracts of heavy snow, accompanied by strangely strong winds, gradually formed an overwhelming blizzard.
This moment, this situation.
It is like a 'Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara' that reaches the sky and the earth sitting cross-legged among the icebergs. Under the black clouds, the terrifying wind and snow whirls around it...
This is Kuzan’s current ‘ice age’!
The previous super-wide freezing ability.
For him, it is no longer a move worth naming.
The current one is to directly mobilize the natural energy of ice in the air, combined with the awakening ability of the frozen fruit, to completely turn the area within the range into a permanent 'life forbidden zone'.
If it weren't for Kuzan's kindness and strict control of the scope of his abilities.
Now the entire Fire Country, and even the neighboring River Country, will return to the real Ice Age!
But even so.
The temperature was unimaginably low and the scale of the snowstorm far exceeded that of ordinary natural disasters.
It has also affected the overall temperature of the ninja world.
A bay sandwiched between the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Rivers, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Tea.
By this time it had already turned into a solid land of ice.
It’s unknown how many marine creatures froze to death in it.
Some fishermen living on the west coast of the Country of Tea.
He was staring blankly at the sea that turned from sea water to ice in the blink of an eye.
The fishing boat they were on and the fishing nets they threw down were also frozen to death.
Fortunately, it looks like we can still walk back...
It was the thin clothes of the fishermen that made them shiver in the cold wind...
the other side.
Senju Hashirama's face was ashen as he looked at the 'wooden figure' and 'Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara' beneath him. Thick frost quickly appeared under the raging snowstorm.
Even he himself began to feel the unbearable biting cold.
No, we can’t delay it any longer!
The secret passage between the Senju Pillar is not good.
But as far as the eye can see, the white wind and snow are gone.
He could no longer see anything in his field of vision.
Mentally, I can't feel the slightest breath of Kuzan either.
But there is no goal...
Where should his ‘Buddha on top’ be launched?
"General Aokiji, aren't you ready to show up and fight me!"
Senju Hashirama had no choice but to shout around.
"Ah la la la~ I'm so sorry~"
"The old me might have created an equally huge creation to fight you head-on."
"But now...this is my way of fighting. If you can't deal with it, surrender as soon as possible."
Senju Hashirama was immediately speechless.
to be honest.
If Kuzan also has chakra in his body.
With his sensitivity to chakra, he could probably capture the elementalized Kuzan aura that blended into the environment.
However, Kuzan is not a ninja, so he relies more on his knowledge, knowledge, and Haki.
But the problem is that his power of knowledge and color is really only at the initial awakening level.
How is it possible to sense Kuzan who is deliberately hidden?
"..."
Senju Hashirama didn't know what to do.
Are we going to pour out the thousands of arms of the ‘Buddha on top’ to all directions to gamble on our luck?
wrong.
The most important thing now is to deal with the invasion of low temperature first!
Senju Hashirama made a quick decision, separated four lifelike clones from his body, and flew out in different directions.
When these wooden clones supported the purple chakra and landed hard in the wind and snow.
Immediately squat down on the ground and quickly form the seal.
"Four Red Sun Formation!"
In the blink of an eye, four red barriers emitting scorching heat rose up, and a fifth barrier was formed at the top to cap it off.
Originally, the Four Red Sun Formation required four ninjas with so-called 'Hokage-level' chakra power to work together.
But Senju Hashirama is now in a state of filthy reincarnation.
Chakra will be replenished almost infinitely quickly.
Otherwise, even with the 'tons' of chakra he had during his lifetime.
It is also difficult to use a sealing technique of the level of the 'Four Red Sun Formation' after using the 'Birth of the Tree Realm', 'The Technique of the Wooden Man', and 'True Thousand Hands'.
really.
With the 'Four Red Sun Formation' blocking the blizzard outside, and the heat emitted by the barrier itself.
Senju Hashirama could feel the temperature around him rising rapidly.
Just what to do next?
Are you going to spend time with that General Qing Pheasant?
This Four Red Sun Formation can be maintained forever.
After all, there is no need to worry about chakra consumption.
But the problem is that he is not good at immortal mode.
Once the immortal mode is gone, it means there is no possibility of defeating the opponent anymore...
And Kuzan is hidden in the wind and snow.
First, he was amazed at the magic of the Four Red Sun Formation.
Then he waited patiently and silently, without any rush to defeat Senju Hashirama.
It's not necessary~
His first purpose was to contain Senju Hashirama.
Not to mention being a starfish person.
I have long been accustomed to fighting that often lasts for days and nights.
So don't be in a hurry, take your time, he has plenty of patience...
But what about the other party?
"By the way, Mr. Senju Hashirama, although I am embarrassed to say this, I think it is necessary to remind you."
"Sakaski, the Army General Akainu who presided over the campaign to conquer this world, sent a 5,000-man main battle brigade led by General Aramaki. They should have raided your Konoha Village by now.
