How fast were ninjas?
Actually, two examples could give the result.
The first was at the very beginning of Shippuden, when Team 7, led by Kakashi Hatake, went to Sunagakure of the Land of Wind to rescue Gaara.
Team 7 had only taken one day to travel from the Land of Fire to the Land of Wind.
But the territories of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind were two of the four largest sections of the Ninja Continent.
One must know that between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, there was a Land of Rivers.
From this, it could be seen that if a ninja were to travel at full speed, it would only take two days to travel between great nations.
The second example was in the Fourth Great Ninja War of the original story, where the four Hokage had only taken a short time to travel from the shrine at the end of Konoha to the final battlefield.
The battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War was at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
The countries between them were the Land of Hot Water and the Land of the Moon.
In other words, the four Hokage had only taken a short time to cross one great nation and two small countries to reach the final battlefield.
Perhaps there was the reason of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it could also be seen just how terrifying the speed of a Naruto character was.
Therefore...
With the help of Minato Namikaze, Hashirama Senju had arrived at the battlefield faster than the ninja troops from Kumogakure.
"Hahaha... Minato, boy, your body flicker and Flying Thunder God Technique are faster than Tobirama's. If he saw you, he might not be able to resist taking you as a disciple."
"Lord First, you praise me too much. Compared to Lord Second, I still have a big gap."
Appearing on the battlefield of both sides, Hashirama Senju's loud laughter and his invisible aura instantly made him the most dazzling existence on the field.
Not just the pirates and cloud ninjas who were fighting, but even the high-ranking officials of the Beasts Pirates who were watching the battle and gathering intelligence, and even the Third Raikage and Kaido, all cast their gazes towards Hashirama Senju.
A large amount of Observation Haki covered him.
As if they had sensed something, the members of the Beasts Pirates, including Kaido, all had their pupils contract.
"This guy..."
"A monster... this world actually has such a monster?!"
"What a terrifying energy fluctuation... is that... is that chakra?"
"Are... are you kidding me?! Such a chakra amount, can a human really possess it?!"
".........."
Observation Haki was a very useful ability.
A powerhouse's Observation Haki could even cover an island. This range, in the ninja world, even the Byakugan could not compare to. Only a sensory ability of the level of Mind's Eye of the Kagura and Tobirama Senju could surpass the Observation Haki of a powerhouse and a super-powerhouse.
But this "surpassing" was only in terms of range.
Besides the sensory range, Observation Haki could also predict attacks, and some people could even predict the future.
In addition, there was the ability to sense emotional changes, and most importantly, to sense the strength of the opponent.
Therefore...
Observation Haki was a very useful ability.
But now, this incomparably useful ability, for the members of the Beasts Pirates, was a little too useful.
Because their perception had seen something extremely terrifying.
That extremely terrifying thing came from Hashirama Senju, who was as carefree as Roger, Luffy, and Shanks.
Only those who had mastered Observation Haki knew.
This harmless-looking fellow, what kind of terrifying energy was contained in his body.
If the Beasts Pirates hadn't seen a tailed beast, then he would have been a man more terrifying than a tailed beast.
In fact, Hashirama Senju was indeed a man more terrifying than a tailed beast.
This terror was not just his strength to single-handedly beat the nine tailed beasts, but his bottomless chakra amount, which was the closest to the Six Paths level in the ninja world.
As a reincarnation of Asura, Hashirama Senju possessed the Sage Body inherited from Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki in his life, and had developed this physique to the extreme before his death.
Although Naruto Uzumaki also had the Sage Body, in the final battle of the original story, before he obtained the cheat given by the Sage of Six Paths, his chakra amount and the chakra amount of half of the Nine-Tails combined had only earned him the evaluation of "about the same as me" from Hashirama Senju.
This "about the same" was very likely not as good as Hashirama Senju.
From this, it could be seen just how terrifying Hashirama Senju's chakra amount was.
Just as when Kozuki Oden first saw Roger, he had sensed the aura of a ferocious beast on Roger.
Similarly, the members of the Beasts Pirates also sensed the aura of a ferocious beast on Hashirama Senju, and an unprecedented threat.
Without a doubt...
The strength of the man before them was absolutely not inferior to that of their captain/admiral.
Whoosh—
"...Lord Hashirama!"
The Third Raikage appeared next to Hashirama Senju with a body flicker and greeted this God of Shinobi with a slightly respectful expression.
"Hahaha... Sorry, A, boy, I'm late."
Hashirama Senju patted the Third Raikage's arm and laughed heartily without any apology.
However, his action made Minato Namikaze beside him, and the Third Raikage himself, have their pupils contract slightly.
Hashirama Senju's palm had ignored the Third Raikage's Strongest Armor, which was enhanced with Black Lightning and combined both offense and defense.
Looking at Hashirama Senju, whose hand was not covered in blue chakra fluctuations, the Third Raikage finally understood why his father's generation had never dared to start a Great Ninja War because of this man.
Just as the legend said, this God of Shinobi possessed unfathomable strength.
Little did he know, it wasn't that Hashirama Senju wasn't covering his body with chakra, but his body was originally covered with a layer of chakra.
That chakra, as if it were passive, formed an invisible armor more powerful than Armament Haki, covering Hashirama Senju's body.
That chakra was one of the means by which the Senju clan had been able to fight the Uchiha clan for a thousand years without ever being at a disadvantage—Monstrous Strength!
"A, boy, go and rescue the others. I'll deal with that big fellow."
Hashirama Senju did not know that his action had deeply shocked the Third Raikage and Minato Namikaze.
After patting the Third Raikage's arm, Hashirama Senju's gaze turned to Kaido, who was maintaining his dragon-human form and exuding an aura that surpassed the Five Kage. A hint of fighting spirit couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
The battle between the God of Shinobi and the World's Strongest Creature was about to break out
