Sakura Haruno is Usefull

Senju Hashirama clapped his hands together, forming a seal, and directly unleashed the high-level technique Deep Forest Emergence. This move left Sakura speechless, unable to hold back her urge to complain.

The already heavily damaged roof completely crumbled under the impact. Countless branches and vines burst forth from the ground, reintroducing the once-legendary Wood Release that had swept across the ninja world!

"Great-granddaughter, get out of the way!" Hashirama shouted, his eyes fixed on the pink silhouette darting left and right through the sea of trees.

"Do I look like Tsunade to you?!" Sakura snapped. "Apologize to my parents, you jerk!"

Within the seemingly alive maze of branches, Sakura deftly maneuvered as they wove into nets, trying to ensnare her. Her green eyes gleamed sharply. Suddenly, with a thunderous burst beneath her feet, the massive web of branches shattered, and Sakura leaped out of the forest's range with remarkable agility.

"Well done!" Hashirama exclaimed, his eyes lighting up in admiration.

But his expression quickly changed as three branches shot out from the forest at high speed, snaring Sakura's arms and legs mid-air.

"Damn it!" Hashirama gritted his teeth in frustration. Orochimaru's control over him was too strong, and this reanimated body was far too weak, unable to fully unleash his powers from when he was alive.

If he had even half his original strength, he would crush Orochimaru underfoot despite the pressure of the Reanimation Jutsu!

At that moment, a kunai streaked like lightning toward Sakura's head.

"Dodge it!"

"That's my Flying Thunder God Slash!" Tobirama Senju's voice carried a hint of unwillingness, though he, too, couldn't control his body.

There was no need for him to warn her—Sakura had been wary of Tobirama's moves from the beginning. Despite the crudeness of their reanimated state, Tobirama's technique-driven fighting style was more dangerous than Hashirama's brute force.

The kunai grazed Sakura's cheek, leaving a shallow cut. In the next instant, a silver-haired, red-eyed figure appeared before her, seizing the kunai aimed at her face.

"What's with these guys and my face?!" Sakura thought indignantly.

Last time, Orochimaru went for her face, and now Tobirama was doing the same. She tilted her head slightly, dodging Tobirama's follow-up attack.

It wasn't Tobirama's intention to target her face—his original aim had been her neck. But with his will fighting against the Reanimation Jutsu's control, he could only barely redirect his strike to graze her cheek.

Seeing his attack miss, Tobirama tried to follow up, but Sakura was faster. She raised her head and delivered a fierce headbutt. The black shadow of his form was hurled like a ragdoll, smashing through the roof and crashing into the lower floor.

"Nice one!" Hashirama cheered, unreserved in his praise.

Sakura glanced at the branches binding her limbs. With a surge of strength, she snapped them, landing firmly on the ground. Before she could catch her breath, Hashirama charged forward, his fist swinging toward her with immense force.

Hashirama had already discerned Sakura's fighting style—like Tsunade, she was primarily a taijutsu specialist. Orochimaru's command was simple: attack. But how he executed it mattered.

Using Wood Release or physical attacks wasn't the same for him. Moreover, this reanimated body was too fragile for prolonged use of his techniques. He decided to exploit her strengths by targeting her weaknesses, maximizing his advantage.

However, despite his tactical brilliance, his strength in this form was far from ideal.

Sakura caught his incoming punch with one hand, then delivered a powerful counterpunch. With a resounding crack, half of Hashirama's arm shattered into pieces.

"Well done. To witness such a strong successor with my own eyes—this Reanimation Jutsu has proven worthwhile," Hashirama said with a warm expression, even as he followed up with a swift kick.

Sakura blocked the kick with her forearm, ready to retaliate by breaking his leg. Suddenly, a swift shadow shot up from below—Tobirama again!

The sharp kunai sliced off a lock of her pink hair. Unfazed, Sakura abandoned Hashirama momentarily, leaning back to evade Tobirama's attack. She then kicked him away once more, sending him flying.

Hashirama seized the opportunity to glance at Tsunade, who stood silently on the battlefield's edge, doing nothing.

"Little Tsunade, what are you waiting for? Join forces with this child already!"

Tobirama, climbing back to his feet, began forming seals. As brothers, he had already deduced Hashirama's intentions.

Rather than relying on their strengths, Hashirama intended to use his weaknesses to target Sakura's strengths. Tobirama focused on Sakura's gloves, forged from high-strength chakra metal and rare materials, which amplified her chakra-based attacks. She had used these to counter his Water Severing Wave earlier.

Combining this with her Strength of a Hundred Seal and monstrous strength made her a formidable opponent.

With quick seals, Tobirama executed his technique.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

He chose a straightforward Water Release attack, temporarily abandoning complex tactics. Sakura ignored both brothers, focusing solely on striking Hashirama. Sensing Tobirama's presence behind him, Hashirama smirked and slammed his palm onto the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon!"

A massive demonic-faced iron gate erupted from the ground, blocking Sakura's punch. The force of her strike made the colossal gate tremble, tilting precariously toward Hashirama.

At the same time, Tobirama's Water Dragon Bullet crashed into the Rashomon gate. Instead of hitting Sakura, the technique ended up stabilizing the gate, momentarily separating Sakura from the two reanimated Hokage.

"Well done, brother," Tobirama said with a smile as his technique hit the mark.

However, Hashirama didn't share his delight. His expression turned pensive as he glanced at Tsunade.

In his memory, Tsunade wasn't one to stand idly by while her village's younger generation fought on the frontlines.

Something must have happened to her…
