NOVEL NEXT Chapter 39: Chapter 39
The Sand Shinobi battlefield was in chaos the moment Senju Hashirama appeared. Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands brought down the entire Sand Shinobi force, disabling them instantly.
Nine out of ten ninjas who invaded Konoha died under the might of True Several Thousand Hands. Even the Second Kazekage was killed on the spot. Only a few Sand Shinobi managed to escape, while the rest knelt and surrendered. They pondered how to fight against such a formidable opponent.
Shamon the second Kazekage their leader had fallen in battle. How could they confront the God of the Ninja World? Surrendering seemed like the better choice to survive. Some suggested finding a leader among them, and others agreed. Those who survived fell to their knees, seeking forgiveness from Senju Hashirama.
Hashirama wasted no time and captured all the ninjas from Sunagakure on the battlefield. It was time to exchange resources with Sunagakure since these ninjas were valuable assets. The major ninja villages were still in their early stages, and every ninja was a valuable resource.
"All right!" Hashirama exclaimed. "Tobirama, let's move to the next battlefield!" After resolving the situation in Sunagakure, Hashirama approached Tobirama.
With Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique, they could swiftly travel between battlefields. Tobirama eagerly agreed, and in an instant, both disappeared from the Sand Shinobi battlefield.
On this battlefield of the Cloud Shinobi Village, the Second Raikage led a large number of elite Cloud Shinobi into the Land of Fire. According to the Second Raikage, Senju Hashirama was dead, and they had to seize this opportunity. These were valuable resources in the land of fire which were needed for the development of their own village.
The Golden horn and Silver horn brothers, relying on the Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools and their own Nine Tails Chakra, wreaked havoc among the Konoha Shinobi. The recently arrived Konoha Shinobi had never encountered such madness before.
"Hahaha, brother, these Konoha Shinobi are no match for us!" one of the brothers exclaimed. "Let's go all out and kill them all!"
Under the leadership of the Golden and Silver brothers, the Cloud Shinobi army became unstoppable. The Konoha forces were defeated, and their defensive line kept shrinking.
Just as the Golden and Silver brothers were dominating the battlefield, a sudden blue light appeared. As the light faded, it revealed First Hokage Senju Hashirama and Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, who had arrived from the Sand Shinobi battlefield.
"What?!!" Second Raikage exclaimed. "Senju Hashirama?! He's not dead?!!"
Looking at the two figures that suddenly appeared, Second Raikage widened his eyes in disbelief. Having witnessed the terrifying strength of Senju Hashirama, he couldn't stay calm.
"Hurry up!!! Order the troops to retreat!!!" Second Raikage shouted urgently. "Everyone, retreat!"
At that moment, Second Raikage couldn't care about anything else. Although the Cloud Shinobi were reckless, they were not foolish. Facing Senju Hashirama, known as the God of the Ninja World, they realized they couldn't continue their invasion.
Second Raikage's order quickly reached the frontline troops. However, the Golden and Silver brothers didn't take his orders seriously.
"Forget about these two lunatics!" Second Raikage said. "The entire army retreats! Otherwise, everyone will stay and be buried with these two lunatics!"
Following Second Raikage's order, all the Cloud Shinobi on the battlefield began to retreat. Only the elite troops under the Golden and Silver's command remained.
Unfazed by the retreat, the two brothers, wearing Nine Tails Chakra coats, were in a frenzy. Their eyes locked onto Senju Hashirama.
"Roar------"
They roared like beasts and charged towards Senju Hashirama. However, Senju Hashirama didn't even need to activate Sage Mode this time. He simply clapped his hands and summoned a giant Wooden Golem.
The Wooden Golem was even more formidable than the Nine Tails. In an instant, the Nine Tails-turned Golden Horn Brothers and Silver Horn Brothers paled in comparison. The two brothers, who were previously in a state of madness, were now dumbfounded.
Senju Hashirama controlled the Wooden Golem and grabbed the two brothers, crushing them mercilessly. Their bones broke with a resounding crack, and before they could scream, they turned into blood mist.
"Hey... is this real?!" one of the soldiers exclaimed. "Is this truly the God of the Ninja World? Are we fighting against a god?"
Unable to comprehend the sight of the Golden and Silver brothers turning into a blood mist, the once-determined elite troops froze in place.
Seizing the opportunity, Hashirama ordered the Konoha forces to arrest these soldiers. After dealing with the Cloud Shinobi Village, Hashirama planned to rush to other battlefields.
However, before he could depart, shocking news reached him. Both Iwagakure and Kirigakure had received the news from the Cloud Shinobi Village. They realized that Senju Hashirama, the God of the Ninja World, had deceived them by faking his death.
The villages were in turmoil, and their armies swiftly withdrew to their respective territories. Fearing Hashirama's retribution, they meticulously cleaned the battlefields before departing.
The most absurd part was that a conflict had erupted between the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage, resulting in both of their deaths. Instead of reaping any benefits, they lost their allies.
Thus, the first Ninja World War hastily concluded, solidifying Senju Hashirama's reputation as the strongest ninja. The other four countries were forced to compensate Konoha with significant resources, demanded by Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Although the four great powers were bitter, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and provide the resources.
"The schemes of shinobi are even deeper than the abyss." A certain samurai remarked. "They even deceived us by faking Hashirama's death!"
