[Summoning Jutsu: Fivefold Rashomon!]
[Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!]
[Wood Release: Art of Wood Manifestation!]
Lin Ke stood to the side, watching Number One Hashirama unleash one Wood Release after another. The spreading aftershocks of the explosions were directly blocked about ten kilometers away from Konoha Village.
However, the ground trembled violently, a mushroom cloud lingered in the sky, and the air temperature rose by more than twenty or thirty degrees. He felt his hair curling.
Strange, is Hashirama's power this strong? he wondered.
"Truly a dangerous technique."
Orochimaru rose from the ground. His escape speed was truly fast, comparable to Senju Hashirama in Sage Mode.
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ke almost imperceptibly. His development of the Five Elements Sealing had long reached its limit, and he hadn't participated in or bothered to understand the subsequent research. He didn't expect that this technique could react with a monster like the Ten-Tails.
Thinking about it carefully, it could also be imprinted on the Tailed Beasts and thrown out as a weapon. Perhaps from the perspective of making bombs, the Five Elements Sealing still had room for development.
Number One Hashirama's expression was strange. He frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "The power of that monster just now was almost equal in nature to Natural Energy, so the reaction on its body was much stronger than others who had been sealed."
"Moreover, it was instinctively using the Natural Energy of the Five Elements Sealing to try to break free from the Myriad Gates of the Divine and the Seal's restraints. When the conflict reached a point it couldn't resolve, it was all too late."
"Lin Ke, don't use your Five Elements Sealing casually. This technique isn't a restriction on Chakra, it's a rejection of all foreign energy."
"Too dangerous."
The order formed by the five elements would dissolve the flesh and reject other energies...
Of course, Orochimaru knew this. Weak energies, such as some people's Chakra, would disappear directly, like Kimimaro's Bloodline Limit and Chakra. But as Natural Energy, Kimimaro's Cursed Seal could constantly resist, eventually rejecting to a certain extent and causing an explosion.
What surprised him was that even a monster like the Ten-Tails couldn't defeat the order of the five elements.
Interestingly, the Sealing Jutsu and Myriad Gates of the Divine played the role of applying pressure. The mindless Ten-Tails arbitrarily used the power of the Five Elements Sealing, and in the end, it couldn't balance and suppress it, turning itself into fireworks at an extremely fast speed.
The three waited for a while, then returned to the scene of the explosion.
Most likely due to the valley terrain and the Wood Release that Number One Hashirama had released earlier to restrict the Ten-Tails, after the explosion, more than half of the energy was poured into the ground, now completely transformed into a deep rift valley. It was impossible to see how deep it was, only white magma exceeding a thousand degrees Celsius surging in the rift valley.
All the nearby forests were destroyed, and the mushroom cloud in the sky lingered for a long time.
"The Natural Energy here is so abundant," Number One Hashirama said, standing on the back of the Earth Dragon, his gaze sweeping across the 'ground'.
The explosion wasn't straight down, but at an angle. In addition, he had deliberately directed the attack towards the sky, the ground, and the uninhabited ocean before leaving, so the deep gully looked crooked, like a scar cut with a saw.
"Splash!" Before he could finish speaking, the bubbling magma was greeted by roaring waves as seawater rushed in from afar.
The hissing sound of evaporating seawater was endless, and countless streams of steam rose up, directly dispersing the mushroom stalk composed of dust.
Large patches of dark clouds quickly condensed, and soon—
"Crack!" After a flash of lightning, a strong wind surged, and raindrops fell pattering down. In the heavy rain, the ocean was rapidly soothing the terrifying wound on the planet.
"Found it." Number One Hashirama clasped his hands together, then pushed out with one palm. A Wood Dragon grew rapidly, then inserted itself into the soil on one side of the rift valley. After a few seconds, the Eight Tails was dragged out.
The originally tall Tailed Beast was now only two or three meters tall, looking a bit pitiful being held by the Wood Dragon.
In order to deal with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's space not having seeds, he routinely prepared seeds on his body in advance, which now came in handy.
[The Tailed Beasts aren't dead? And they were spat out?]
Lin Ke was a little surprised; he thought he would have to wait for the Tailed Beasts to be reborn.
The Eight Tails was completely listless, not even resisting when the Wood Dragon grabbed it. Its Chakra aura was also much weaker than before, and it even actively wrapped its tentacles around the Wood Dragon.
Number One Hashirama followed suit, and within a dozen minutes, he had recaptured the other seven Tailed Beasts, all in similarly shrunken versions.
As for the Nine Tails, well, it wasn't there.
Because one Nine Tails was in Uzumaki Kushina's body in World Number Two, and the other was in Naruto's body in the Main World. Lin Ke's information was used to synthesize the Ten-Tails, with Kinkaku and Ginkaku summoned as materials.
Obviously, after the explosion just now, Kinkaku and Ginkaku should have completely returned to the Pure Land.
These eight Tailed Beasts all belonged to World Number Two. Thanks to Lin Ke's previous whimsical idea of separating the Tailed Beasts, synthesizing the Ten-Tails went smoothly.
By the way, before Namikaze Minato reincarnated in the Main World, he stuffed half of the Nine Tails within him into his son. Otherwise, the Seal would not have been so shaky that Naruto could open it casually. Fortunately, Number One Hashirama was there. If the complete Nine Tails had really thrown a tantrum, it would have been basically the same as another Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Incident.
The three of them circled in the air for a while but couldn't find the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. They didn't know if it had been blown away or had fallen into the rift.
The rift they had seen earlier had now completely turned into an ocean. That explosion had directly turned Konoha Village into a Coastal City.
Bringing the greatly reduced Tailed Beasts back to the village, almost all the ninjas were watching from the edge of the city walls.
Such a big commotion had put Konoha Village into a state of war.
"What did you guys do?" Senju Tobirama, who had been summoned back using the Boat Crossing Technique, immediately asked as they landed.
Orochimaru patiently explained.
"The power was too weak."
Number One Hashirama suddenly interjected, "Compared to the Natural Energy I sensed, the power was too weak. The Ten-Tails was blocked by something before the explosion."
"According to my calculations, the power should have been three to five times stronger than it was. I was prepared for half, no, the entire Land of Fire to be destroyed."
"Moreover, my Jutsu seems a bit off..." He spread out his hand, looking at the Sun Pattern on it with some confusion.
"Before the explosion occurred, I gained extra power, and the Jutsu was strengthened, so the explosion, which had already been blocked a bit, was guided by me in an uninhabited direction."
Senju Tobirama's face revealed a thoughtful expression after hearing the whole process.
"Tobirama," Number One Hashirama said with a serious expression, "Don't use this kind of power casually. You might end up destroying World Number Three directly."
Without the mysterious blocking and without his suddenly enhanced Jutsu, Konoha Village wouldn't have been able to escape just now.
If they continued to increase the power of the explosion using Sealing Jutsu, the resulting explosion, even if it could destroy Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, would still destroy that World.
He knew his younger brother too well; if he wasn't properly restrained, he would definitely cause a big incident.
