"How is this possible?! His chakra is that strong?!"
Uchiha was truly afraid now.
Even though it wasn't the true Sage Art: Wooden Golem, nor the legendary Thousand-Armed Kannon, the three colossal wooden avatars looked so similar that Uchiha hesitated to reveal himself.
If he didn't show up now, it might become dangerous to try and kill Takayama Haru later.
Haru could easily piece together the clues and track him down.
While Uchiha hesitated, the three massive wood golems attacked.
Each giant hand extended from the overlapping wooden titans, gripping White Zetsu one by one with a crushing force.
The wood golems absorbed them, instantly extracting the Hashirama cells inside and leaving the bodies desiccated.
Drop by drop, the stolen life force turned into nutrient-rich liquid and fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, the Third Mizukage's Water Dragons pounded against the wood golems like they were nothing more than annoying raindrops.
Seeing this, Uchiha gave up the idea of staying hidden and interfering.
Takayama Haru's strength was simply overwhelming—far too risky to confront directly.
Back in the day, even a young Madara had been no match for Hashirama's Wooden Golem Sage techniques. Now, the aged Madara had no confidence in facing this new threat.
"I never imagined... after all these years of silence, someone so similar would emerge again."
"Looks like I'll have to change my plans..."
With that thought, Madara's clone faded away.
If there was no opportunity, he wouldn't force the fight. Madara had never been a fool—he had faked his death once before at the Valley of the End.
As glowing particles scattered, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu vanished.
The other White Zetsu, halfway emerged from the ground, immediately panicked and began to retreat.
"Trying to run? Dream on!"
Takayama Haru split into three again, each controlling a wood golem, absorbing thousands of White Zetsu per second.
That one White Zetsu still poking out of the ground was yanked out like a daikon root.
His depleted chakra was instantly replenished, overflowing and rushing into the seal on his forehead, making the color even darker and more concentrated.
Meanwhile, the absorption of countless Hashirama cells caused the fusion rate of the Senju Hashirama character card to skyrocket visibly!
75%... 85%... 95%... 99%!
The pure energy from White Zetsu had boosted his fusion rate by over 20% in an instant!
Only 1% away from full mastery!
Once the rate surpassed 90%, Haru gained a new ability: [Sage Mode]!
He also learned: [Sage Art: Shinsuusenju – True Thousand-Armed Kanon]!
And finally, the most powerful Wood Release jutsu: [Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands]! Full mastery at 100%.
Haru was fired up. Just 1% left—and he'd reach it in a few hours!
"Water Style – Water Severing Wave!"
The Third Mizukage, seeing Haru freeze for a moment, unleashed one of the deadliest Water Style jutsu.
A high-pressure jet shot straight from his mouth, forming a deadly blade of water that sliced clean through Haru!
Whoosh!
The attack cleaved both Haru and one of the giant wood golems in half!
Boom!
The clone exploded. The wood golem beneath it crumbled into splinters.
Haru stared calmly at the Mizukage. Black and White Zetsu were gone, all the cannon fodder had fled. Only the Third Mizukage remained.
The two locked eyes.
Then the Mizukage realized something was wrong. Everyone else was gone. Only the two of them remained.
"Uchiha Madara! You tricked me!"
He screamed in fury—and turned to run!
This was dangerous. He might actually die here!
"Water Cloak—"
Before he could finish, his eyes widened in shock as he was slammed into the ground.
BOOM!
He hit so hard it left a crater nearly 100 meters wide.
The Third Mizukage's massive frame lay in the center, stunned and terrified, staring up at the sky.
Hovering above, Takayama Haru's eyes were marked with red sage patterns. A glowing red halo circled his forehead, and his pupils had turned golden.
"This... is Sage Mode?!"
The Third Mizukage froze.
In the next instant, Haru stepped down from the sky, appearing before him.
CRACK!
A loud crunch echoed as Haru drove his foot into the Mizukage's spine, smashing him to the ground.
The Water Cloak sealing technique was disrupted in just 0.1 seconds.
Haru stood on his back and barked, "Don't move!"
The Third Mizukage nearly passed out, coughing up blood. He could no longer feel his lower body.
He never expected Haru's blow to carry such crushing power.
"Please... I'll do anything... just let me live..."
But Haru wasn't listening—he was still analyzing the fight in his mind.
The whole battle had lasted less than 3 seconds.
He'd interrupted the Mizukage's techniques twice and sent him flying with one devastating blow.
That was the power of Senju Hashirama's sage lineage.
No hand signs. Just raw force—overwhelming.
[Ding! Based on current conditions, you have three choices!]
Option One: Let the Third Mizukage go. Reward: Hand over the Third Mizukage...
Before the system could finish, it changed.
[Ding! You have killed the Third Mizukage. Option Three completed. Reward: S-Rank Character Card – Original Mizukage: White Lotus.]
Haru blinked.
Wait... how did he complete Option Three?
He looked down.
At some point, the Third Mizukage had already died...
No way.
He actually died just like that?
Haru was surprised.
