The wind whistled in my ears as the distance rapidly closed.
Sasuke's Sharingan locked onto the target, calculating the optimal attack distance and angle.
When they were still tens of meters above the ground, Sasuke moved!
He pushed off the back of the black bird with both feet, and his body accelerated suddenly as if defying gravity, transforming into a black lightning bolt that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
It shot towards "Hashirama" below!
He drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist with a backhand motion, the cold blade slicing through the air with a chilling glint.
His other hand held the end of the sword hilt firmly.
He concentrated all his strength, speed, and chakra into a single point at the tip of the sword.
With the most extreme thrusting motion, he launched a thunderous sneak attack!
"Whoosh—BOOM!!!!"
Extremely fast!
The tip of the Kusanagi sword struck Senju Hashirama precisely in the back of the heart, unleashing a terrifying penetrating force in an instant!
Although the body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation is resilient.
But against Sasuke's thrust, which was made with all his energy and spirit, it was still as fragile as paper.
It was easily torn apart and pierced, blasting open a large hole, with countless grayish-white dust and debris flying everywhere!
However, the characteristics of Impure World Reincarnation immediately became apparent.
The broken body, trailing swirling dust, retreated rapidly at a speed defying the laws of physics.
He distanced himself from Sasuke and began to recover rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hashirama" raised his head, his face showing neither the boldness nor the gentleness that belonged to Senju Hashirama.
Instead, he wore an unsettling expression that was a mixture of inquiry and mockery.
He even subconsciously pushed up his glasses.
Even though there was nothing on the bridge of his nose.
A hoarse voice, tinged with a fake laugh, came from "Hashirama's" mouth: "Oh dear, oh dear!"
"It's Sasuke-kun! It's been so long!"
That voice, that tone, that habitual little gesture of pushing up his glasses...
Sasuke's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and his killing intent spread out as if it were a tangible thing.
He slowly straightened up, his Kusanagi sword pointing diagonally at the ground, the blade still stained with some dirt and dust.
"That voice... Kabuto! It really was you!"
Sasuke's voice was as cold as ice.
This confirmed that one of the culprits who had been hiding behind the scenes, manipulating the army of the dead, and causing countless casualties to the Allied forces.
"Hashirama Senju"—or rather, Kabuto Yakushi, who remotely controls this body.
A twisted smile appeared on his face, which looked particularly eerie against Hashirama's features: "Heh, it's truly an honor to be remembered by Sasuke-kun."
"You came all this way to see me, it couldn't have been just to catch up, could it?"
Sasuke raised the Kusanagi sword, its tip pointing straight at "Hashirama," controlled by Kabuto.
His tone was resolute and brooked no argument: "Hand over Uncle Hashirama's body...!"
Kabuto, controlling "Hashirama's" body, let out a low, cold laugh.
The laughter was filled with mockery and an air of absolute confidence: "You want it? Then come and get it yourself! But, you know the rules..."
Before he finished speaking, his hands had already begun forming hand seals!
A vast amount of chakra surged into this empty shell through the contract channel of the Impure World Reincarnation.
This caused the aura surrounding "Hashirama" to suddenly become dangerous and aggressive!
Sasuke didn't say another word. His cold Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, and dense purple chakra began to gather around him.
The battle is about to break out!
Chapter 466 Sasuke: Not as strong as me!
The atmosphere was somber in the clearing in the woods.
Despite controlling the reanimated body of Hashirama Senju, who was known as the "God of Shinobi".
However, Kabuto Yakushi knew very well that he could not unleash even 100% of his former strength.
He was just a child, wielding an incredibly heavy and incomparably sharp divine weapon.
Although it can injure people, it is far from being as responsive and skillful as the original owner's.
However, even one percent, or even less, of the power of this divine weapon.
Its terrifying destructive power is enough to pose a fatal threat to the vast majority of ninjas.
Unfortunately, he was facing Uchiha Sasuke at that moment.
A teenager who is also growing up rapidly.
Sasuke's previous "sparring" with Hashirama and Madara's soul while inside Naruto's body was no joke.
That was the accumulation of experience in true life-and-death battles, the way to deal with the situation that was explored after being forced into a desperate situation by Wood Release countless times.
It can be said that as long as the "Hashirama" in front of us doesn't suddenly unleash that world-destroying "Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands".
Sasuke has enough confidence and means to deal with him, and even... defeat him!
Sasuke was the first to move!
He approached like a ghost, his Kusanagi sword drawing a cold arc as he aimed straight for Hashirama's throat.
At the same time, lightning flashed on his left hand amidst the piercing cries of a thousand birds.
A sharp spear made of highly condensed lightning chakra.
The Thousand Birds Spear was already formed, and like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, it pierced the opponent's ribs from another tricky angle!
A perfect combination of physical slashing and lightning thrusting!
Under Kabuto's control, Hashirama's expression hardened slightly.
This was completely different from his expectations of the Uchiha clan's fighting style, which relied on eye techniques and fire release.
He could only rely on Hashirama's powerful fighting instincts and speed to retreat hastily in a sorry state.
At the same time, he twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the fatal combination of the sword and the thunder spear.
The sword energy from the Kusanagi sword left a shallow mark on the red layered armor on his chest, while the aftershocks of the Chidori spear's lightning release made his arm go numb.
"Tsk...troublesome brat."
Kabuto cursed inwardly, manipulating "Hashirama" to continue retreating, trying to create distance and take advantage of the range of Wood Release.
After retreating to a relatively open area, "Hashirama" suddenly clasped his hands together—just one mudra!
"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"
The earth split open, revealing a massive, ferocious-looking brown wooden dragon made of countless hard logs.
It let out a silent roar and burst forth from the earth!
With overwhelming force, it opened its massive jaws and lunged at Sasuke!
Wherever the dragon's body passed, it plowed deep furrows into the ground.
Kabuto watched this scene through "Hashirama's" eyes, and couldn't help but sigh once again, "Truly worthy of being the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama..."
"Such a large-scale and powerful Wood Release ninjutsu can be released instantly with just one hand seal!"
However, Sasuke showed no panic in the face of the ferocious wooden dragon rushing towards him.
I already tried it back then!
His Sharingan spun at high speed, precisely capturing the trajectory and speed of the wooden dragon's attack.
Instead of confronting the attack head-on, he used his agile movements to weave and dodge through the wooden dragon's ferocious attacks like a butterfly flitting among flowers.
The wooden dragon's massive jaws gnaw, its sharp claws slash, and its tail sweeps across.
Each time seemed incredibly dangerous, yet Sasuke always managed to dodge it by the narrowest of margins.
He was looking for an opportunity, a chance to strike decisively!
Just as the wooden dragon missed its target and stiffened slightly, a glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes!
"It's now!"
The Thousand Bird Spear he held in his left hand suddenly shone brightly, and his Lightning Release chakra became even more condensed and sharp!
At the same time, the Kusanagi sword in his right hand crackled and was covered with a layer of leaping lightning!
Sasuke let out a low shout and slammed the Chidori spear in his left hand against the spine of the Kusanagi sword!
The lightning spear and the sword blade were perfectly integrated!
The physical sharpness of the Kusanagi sword and the penetrating power of the Chidori spear are combined into one.
It transformed into a lightning blade wreathed in raging lightning chakra!
The next moment, lightning burst forth around Sasuke, who also applied the nature transformation of his lightning chakra to his speed!
"Zi la——!"
His figure transformed into a streak of blue lightning, no longer dodging, but actively facing the enormous wooden dragon!
He did not choose to attack obvious positions such as the dragon's head or tail.
Instead, it moved along the winding surface of the wooden dragon's body, like a top-notch surgeon wielding a thunderous blade.
A precise and efficient "dissection" has begun!
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Snap!"
