Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 634 Susanoo-clad Great Buddha

"boom--!!!"

In that instant, the earth completely surrendered. A colossal figure, even larger than the complete Susanoo, rose from the earth. No—"rose from the earth" is too understated. It grew from the depths of the earth's crust. It was the true "divine tree" itself, summoned from the heart of the earth after Hashirama Senju infused Wood Release chakra into every inch of soil, every rock, and every underground root system of the entire battlefield.

The complete Susanoo looked like a toy in front of this colossus. What a colossus this was! The wooden figure sat on the top level, and below the wooden figure was an even larger and more magnificent thousand-armed Buddha, whose head was lowered and eyes were slightly closed.

Behind the Buddha are countless giant wooden arms, stretching out in layers, so large that they completely obscure the moon.

Each arm was thick enough to crush a mountain with a single hand, and the lines on each palm were the annual rings formed by the natural flow of Wood Release chakra in the wood fibers. These arms spread out in a fan shape from behind the Buddha in all directions, like a sun carved from wood, except that the light of this sun was not light and heat, but pure violence that could crush all matter.

Fortunately, Konoha Village has already been completely destroyed. All the buildings have become ruins, all the streets are buried under rubble, and all the plans have to be rebuilt from scratch, so it doesn't matter if it gets crushed again.

"That move..."

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju stood side by side atop the head of the Thousand-Armed Buddha. The wind whipped their long hair behind them. Madara looked down at the four colossal chakra gods below, who were invincible in the face of ordinary Susanoo. At this moment, they had to raise their heads and look up to see the Buddha's face.

This was the second time Madara Uchiha had witnessed this technique firsthand. The first time was at the Valley of the End. That time, he captured the Nine-Tails, combined the tailed beast's chakra with his own Complete Susanoo, and created the Armored Susanoo. He was confident that he could finally defeat Hashirama this time, and then Hashirama summoned this thing.

As Madara Uchiha thought about this, that question resurfaced: why, every time he confidently gained even greater power, thinking that this time he could finally defeat Hashirama fair and square, did that guy silently pull out an even more ridiculously powerful technique from some unknown corner?

"A Buddha image appears on the crown of the head!"

Hashirama Senju had no idea what was churning in the mind of his cold-faced old rival beside him; he was already fully in battle mode.

At his command, the thousands of wooden arms behind the Thousand-Hand Buddha, which blotted out the sky, all clenched into fists at the same instant.

"boom--!!!"

Thousands of fists simultaneously slammed into the four chakra giants on the ground. Each punch unleashed a shockwave no less powerful than a small meteorite impact. The instant the fists made contact with the ground, the soil was crushed into rock, the rock into powder, and the powder was propelled into the air by the shockwave, forming a ring-shaped wall of grayish-white dust that rapidly spread outwards from the edge of the battlefield.

The density of the explosions was beyond description as a "chain reaction"; it was as if an entire army of gods were pounding a war drum several kilometers in diameter on the earth.

However, even as the dust settled after the attacks, Hashirama Senju's expression remained far from relaxed. Under his Sage Mode's enhanced chakra perception, he could sense that the fists had indeed struck their targets, each bearing the brunt of hundreds of massive wooden fists. But he could feel the flames reforming as the fists pierced them, the water flowing back together as the fists shattered it, and the vines sprouting new shoots from the earth as the fists tore them apart.

"Madara, the situation is not good." Hashirama's voice lowered unconsciously, and a rare serious expression appeared on his face. "No matter how much noise these guys make, Wood Release is less effective against them than we thought."

The Fire God will immediately reignite after being smashed, as its core is based on the concept of combustion. The Water God is more troublesome; simple physical impacts are almost useless against it, as water will flow back to its original position after being smashed into splashes. The Wisdom God did have many vines destroyed, but it used the remaining life force from its Wood Release to nourish itself, so the rate of destruction was almost equal to its rate of recovery.

Meanwhile, Sukizuhime's vortex was still absorbing everything, swallowing up every fragment of wood or rock dust that it punched.

"I need something more destructive. Something powerful enough to fundamentally destroy their very existence. Please, Madara."

Madara Uchiha was silent for a moment, then he raised his right hand and placed it firmly on Hashirama Senju's shoulder. The power of the Rinnegan Preta Path activated at that moment, and the immense chakra within Hashirama, unimaginable to ordinary people, flowed continuously into Madara's body through the hand on his shoulder.

Hashirama's chakra and his own chakra merged within Madara's body.

"...I don't care."

Ban's tone remained indifferent, "However, whether you can tame this power depends on your own abilities."

"Yes! Leave it to me!" Hashirama nodded vigorously, and his bright smile returned, so bright that even Madara Uchiha, who had stood beside him for a lifetime and seen that smile, couldn't help but slightly look away.

After receiving a chakra replenishment from Hashirama, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan power erupted from his body like a flood bursting its banks.

Blue chakra surged from his body, and Susanoo's armor extended layer by layer downwards from the top of the Thousand-Armed Buddha's head, along the Buddha's head, shoulders, chest, and arms, covering the entire Buddha statue.

"True Thousand Hands, Buddha Transformation on Top, Calamity with a Vast Back!"

Hashirama clasped his hands together and called out the name of the move.

Madara Uchiha paused for a moment upon hearing the name. Not because the name lacked power; on the contrary, it sounded quite impressive.

The problem is, if his memory serves him right, this seems to be the first time he and Hashirama have teamed up to use this technique. When did this guy even choose his name?

Only a few minutes have passed since Tobirama brought him to his side. In those few minutes, Hashirama activated Sage Mode, summoned the True Thousand Hands, fought the Four Gods, analyzed the Wood Release and concluded that it was ineffective, and even took the time to give a complete name to a fusion ninjutsu that had never been used in actual combat and was theoretically created on the spot during the battle.

It's like... Hashirama had wanted to team up with Madara to use this move for a long time, and he had even thought of a name for it beforehand. He was just patiently waiting for an opportunity to actually use it.

Madara Uchiha quickly banished the thought that sent chills down his spine from his mind.

He told himself it must be because Hashirama had created that ninjutsu called "Taijutsu Secret Technique: Super Fire Release Genjutsu - Great Shuriken Two-Section Technique" when he was a child, which was why he was exceptionally talented in this area. That was all. There was no other reason.

"boom--!!!"

Wood Release and Susanoo are completely integrated. The ultimate destructive power and the power derived from the blossoming of life are draped in the symbolism of destruction.

The giant fist of the Buddha, carrying thousands of beams of destructive light, crushed down towards the four chakra giants below. The flames were annihilated the instant they touched the light, and the chakra was fundamentally disintegrated by the Rinnegan power attached to the Susanoo armor.

The Fire-type Earth God emitted a short, deep rumble, like the sound of a star going out. In that instant, its core lost all light, and its entire body began to collapse from the core into a dark point of light that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and then disappeared.

The Water God of Heaven was powerless against this punch. The Calamity River's Back was the fusion of the two extreme powers of creation and destruction, a duality of the blossoming of life and the annihilation of all things.

The Water God's massive body evaporated the moment it touched the fist, leaving not even a chance to regenerate. The last remaining roots of the God of Wisdom collapsed completely before the combined giant Buddha of Hashirama and Madara. It attempted to draw nourishment from the life force of Wood Release to repair itself, but this time it couldn't. The chakra attribute on the back of the Fiend was no longer simply Wood Release, but Wood Release completely enveloped by the destructive power of Susanoo.

It attempted to absorb power from its own origin, but that same power, in turn, burned every root of its body to ashes. The vortex of Sukizuhime continued to spin wildly, the gates of the underworld opened to their limit, attempting to swallow the colossal, dark blue Buddha that blotted out the sky into the unknown space. But it could not swallow it.

The physical mass was too great, the chakra density too high, and the number of fists too many for its vortex to absorb. It was punched through the gate to the underworld at the center of the vortex one after another.

The four Calamity Gods, four ultimate chakra giants powerful enough to drive Madara Uchiha to the brink of defeat and rewrite the entire power system of the ninja world, were all annihilated by this attack.

Hashirama Senju lowered his clasped hands, let out a long breath, and wiped the real sweat from his forehead; he had indeed been sweating.

Madara Uchiha stood beside him, expressionless, looking down at the circular crater below, large enough to contain an entire city, which they had blasted together. Then, in a voice only Hashirama could hear, he said something in a low voice.

"...The name is alright."
