Who exactly... Is the God of Ninjutsu?
Every ninja present couldn't help but have this doubt in their hearts. According to their understanding, the man hailed as the God of Ninjutsu, possessing unmatched power, should be Hashirama Senju! The First Hokage who single-handedly founded the Hidden Leaf Village!
However, now... The seven-year-old Kazekaze is actually evenly matched with him! If not seen with their own eyes, who could believe it? Who would dare to believe it?
On one side, there is Hashirama, who has come all the way from the Warring States period, defeating countless strong enemies. On the other side, there is the seven-year-old Kazekaze, who took only four months from training to become a Special Jonin!
Including Tobirama, everyone thought this would be a battle with a huge disparity in strength, an utterly one-sided fight. Hashirama Senju would defeat Kazekaze with overwhelming power!
But who knew, as the battle went on minute by minute. Hashirama's Wood Release couldn't do anything to Kazekaze! It's simply absurd!
"If Madara knew about this, his mood would definitely turn sour..." White Zetsu, observing in secret, couldn't help but comment.
Before this, he had already gathered some information about Kazekaze. For example, how he defeated Kinkaku and Ginkaku. How he defeated Hōzuki Gengetsu. Whether in combat thinking or actual combat experience, it all made White Zetsu's eyes light up, completely unable to see that Kazekaze was only seven years old and had just become a ninja not long ago.
But... Hashirama Senju is different. He was the one who, in the Valley of the End, single-handedly defeated Uchiha Madara, who had teamed up with the Nine-Tails!
"Although the Nine-Tails couldn't do much to Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Kinkaku and Ginkaku couldn't defeat the Nine-Tails either. Not to mention, Uchiha Madara's power is even more terrifying than the Nine-Tails. Without a doubt, Hashirama's combat power is the pinnacle of the ninja world. Stronger than Uchiha Madara. Yet now, he has tied with Kazekaze. Doesn't this mean that the seven-year-old Kazekaze is stronger than Uchiha Madara?"
White Zetsu seemed to have already foreseen the scene where Uchiha Madara's face turned extremely ugly.
Suddenly... The defense of the two wooden figures reached its limit, and under continuous bombardment, their bodies began to crumble. Kazekaze and Hashirama, respectively, fell from their wooden figures toward the ground.
"Now's the time!" Kazekaze's eyes narrowed slightly, seizing the moment when Hashirama's gaze glanced at the ground, he activated the trap he had long set.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Using the Flying Thunder God mark left on Hashirama, Kazekaze immediately disappeared from his original spot, instantly flashing behind Hashirama.
Facing this God of Ninjutsu, Kazekaze dared not be careless, let alone hold back. Just kidding. Even Uchiha Madara wouldn't dare to hold back in front of Hashirama!
Therefore, the moment the Flying Thunder God Technique was successfully activated, Kazekaze directly thrust the Rasengan in his hand onto Hashirama's shoulder.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the Rasengan exploded directly, pouring out its immense power. Since Hashirama was now bare-chested, his body was directly eroded by the power of the Rasengan, spinning uncontrollably in mid-air.
"This is... the Flying Thunder God Technique?!" Hashirama's eyes widened, never expecting Kazekaze to use Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique so skillfully. So much so that Hashirama was completely unprepared!
Bang! Another thunderous explosion. Hashirama's body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted straight to the ground!
This sudden scene caught everyone off guard. Including Kazekaze himself! He stared blankly at his empty palm.
"Did my Flying Thunder God work?" Kazekaze's eyes were filled with disbelief.
That man hailed as the God of Ninjutsu! The man Uchiha Madara willingly called the strongest! Was sent flying by his... Rasengan?
No way. No way. It can't be that easy, right? I'm only seven years old!
But... Whether it was the feel or anything else, Kazekaze indeed felt it. His Rasengan had truly hit Hashirama! And Hashirama being sent flying, crashing to the ground, was an undeniable fact!
"B-Big brother?!" Tobirama's eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out. His jaw dropped in shock, almost hitting the ground.
To say the least, Tobirama had no expectation of the scene before him. Hiruzen, Kagami, Homura, Koharu, and Danzo. They were even more shocked. The scene before them greatly shook their hearts.
As if at this moment, their understanding of the world was shattered along with Kazekaze's Rasengan!
"Am I really not under some illusion?" Kagami rubbed his Sharingan hard, "Was it really Lord Hashirama who was sent flying, not Kazekaze?"
"No, you're not under an illusion, because... I also saw Lord Hashirama being sent flying," Koharu said helplessly. She looked up again at Kazekaze's small figure. She knew Kazekaze was a genius.
But... No matter how much of a genius, there should be a limit, right? At only seven years old, he defeated Lord Hashirama? No matter how she thought about it, it seemed absurd. It's just too absurd.
"Kazekaze..." Hiruzen muttered Kazekaze's name, then collapsed to the ground with a thud. His eyes were wider than a cow's.
Compared to the current Kazekaze, he felt like a complete waste. What was he doing at seven years old? Still in school! Still competing with Danzo to see who could jump higher and farther!
And what was Kazekaze doing at seven years old! Fighting the First Hokage! And using his self-developed ninjutsu to send the First Hokage flying! How could such a thing not be shocking? It was enough to make anyone dumbfounded!
However, among all these people, the one most shocked by Kazekaze's strength, was none other than Hashirama Senju himself. Others were merely watching. But he had taken the ninjutsu head-on.
"Kazekaze, this guy, really didn't hold back at all." Hashirama lay flat on the ground, unable to help but complain in his heart. No matter what, he was still his grandfather. He really hit hard!
But... Hashirama frowned, realizing after taking the Rasengan with his body, Kazekaze's ninjutsu not only had immense power and required no hand seals, but also... Had effects that many ninjutsu couldn't achieve.
After being hit by Kazekaze's Rasengan, Hashirama found that his chakra... Had become chaotically disordered without any warning!
"Kazekaze's Rasengan can disrupt others' chakra... How on earth did he develop such a terrifying ninjutsu!" Hashirama was thoroughly shocked. Himself... No, Mito... What kind of monster did they give birth to!
