Upon seeing Hashirama Senju appear, Danzo and the others quickly said with respect:
"First Hokage!"
"Grandpa!"
On the other side, Tsunade's face showed a joyful expression as she exclaimed in surprise.
Hashirama Senju had a gentle smile on his face. Seeing the hint of worry on everyone's faces, he patted his head and looked at everyone with a smile:
"Don't worry, Konoha will be absolutely fine!"
With Hashirama's voice, the worry deep in the hearts of those present couldn't help but ease a little.
Seeing the smile on Hashirama's face, Jiraiya couldn't help but picture the figure of Minato Namikaze in his mind.
The smiles on both men's faces were inherently very infectious to others.
After Hashirama finished speaking, he looked up at the rain enveloping all of Konoha outside the window, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Hashirama stomped his foot, and he instantly vanished from the Hokage's office.
When Hashirama reappeared, he was already standing on the roof of a building.
"Was it a ninjutsu activated outside of Konoha?"
Hashirama closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, discovering that within the range of Konoha, there was no chakra sustaining this ninjutsu.
If that's the case!
Hashirama's eyes snapped open. With a slight push of his foot, he leaped into the air.
Crack!
Just then, the ground suddenly cracked. Following that, a thick wooden pillar rapidly broke through the ground and soared upward.
In the blink of an eye, this thick pillar appeared right under Hashirama, who had just jumped into the air.
Hashirama stood on this wooden pillar, his face calm as he looked up at the sky above.
This wooden pillar then rose upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a short time, the thick pillar had risen to a height of about a hundred meters.
At this moment, the ninja of all Konoha finally noticed that a huge, thick wooden pillar had appeared in the center of the village at some point.
"What's going on?"
"Wood Release ninjutsu!"
"Is it Yamato?"
One after another, voices of confusion and tension rose from all directions of Konoha.
However, these voices of confusion didn't last long. In just a moment, the news of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju's resurrection had spread throughout all of Konoha.
Apparently, this was arranged in advance by Tsunade, Jiraiya, and others specifically to prevent any chaos.
"This height should be enough!"
Using the rising wooden pillar, Hashirama stood at a height of about a hundred meters in the air and said softly.
The next moment, a terrifying chakra suddenly erupted from Hashirama.
Wood Release—Wood Dragon Jutsu!
The huge wooden pillar suddenly vibrated, and then a giant wood dragon seeped out from it, coiling on the pillar.
The wood dragon let out a faint roar, and its massive body quickly climbed upward using the pillar's height.
Hashirama jumped forcefully, landing directly on the dragon's head. Using the fixed pillar, Hashirama manipulated the dragon's massive body and stirred violently upward with a great deal of chakra!
Following Hashirama's movements, the air itself let out a huge sonic boom.
The ninjutsu that Yuto had been maintaining above Konoha was instantly broken by the stirring of the giant wood dragon's body.
At this moment, standing on a cliff, Yuto saw his ninjutsu broken, yet a smile appeared on his face.
"Hashirama Senju!"
His gaze looked toward the distant Konoha sky. Seeing the wood dragon stirring in the air, Yuto couldn't help but grin, his eyes showing a look of delight.
And standing beside Yuto, Uchiha Madara, of course, also saw the scene above Konoha.
"Hashirama! I knew it!"
"This is much more interesting!"
Uchiha Madara's lips curled slightly, and a brilliant light flashed in his Rinnegan's eyes.
As Yuto's ninjutsu was broken, the gloomy weather over Konoha instantly disappeared, and the light of the sun reappeared.
Without the specially weakened chakra-blocking rain obscuring the view.
Hashirama also sensed at the same time the two extremely familiar chakras coming from a cliff far away in Konoha.
"This chakra feels... it's Madara and Yuto!!"
Hashirama's spirit shook. For the first time, an expression of disbelief and shock appeared on his usually calm face.
The fact that Yuto would resurrect was completely within Hashirama's expectations.
But now, Uchiha Madara was also brought back to life. This was something Hashirama had not thought of at all.
Uchiha Madara's death in his battle with him, he had personally confirmed it. He had even attended the funeral.
But now, that familiar chakra feeling was definitely not wrong!
Uchiha Madara had actually resurrected too!
A trace of an ugly expression appeared on Hashirama's face as he thought of a possibility—that Uchiha Madara might have faked his death back then!
But if he had faked his death, then what was this familiar life force feeling he was sensing now?
This was the exact feeling he got from Uchiha Madara in his prime state.
"You two bastards! What on earth are you planning to do!"
"This is no longer our era!"
Standing on the giant wood dragon, Hashirama shouted loudly in the direction of Uchiha Madara and Yuto in the distance.
Rumble! Rumble!
Just then, a muffled thunder-like roar exploded over all of Konoha.
The sunlight that had just reappeared disappeared again. A giant shadow enveloped the Konoha below.
Everyone in Konoha couldn't help but look up toward the sky.
They saw a giant meteor, carrying flames that blotted out the sky, falling rapidly downward.
This attack, like the wrath of heaven, fell in the eyes of the civilians and ninja of Konoha.
Many people couldn't help but slump to the ground, their faces filled with horror.
In a room taking shelter from the rain, the three members of Team 7 stiffly looked up at the scene above.
"This... is this still ninjutsu?"
Sakura's entire body went limp as she knelt on the ground, her voice stammering.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke, though not as expressive as Sakura, were also completely speechless.
If such a ninjutsu were to fall, the entire Konoha would probably be...
It was all destroyed.
And everyone in Konoha would escape!
Just then, a light shout echoed above Konoha.
"Wood Style—Wood Golem Jutsu!"
Hashirama Senju formed a hand seal, his face filled with anger.
BOOM!
The giant wooden pillar that once stood at the center of Konoha began to swell rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, a colossal wooden golem appeared before everyone's eyes.
Meanwhile, the giant Wood Dragon Hashirama had just summoned was now wrapped around the golem's neck like a scarf.
