Gold Armament
Shin'yu used the Third Stage Susanoo to contain the Wooden Figure's attacks, while also seeking opportunities himself, each move aimed at Hashirama with lethal intent.
The Wooden Figure was ferociously powerful, its pair of strong fists forcing the black Susanoo to retreat repeatedly, the Crow Tengu Armor cracking in many places, but fortunately, relying on the power of the divine weapon, it could still withstand a few blows.
When evasion was impossible, Shin'yu seized the opportunity to strike, the sword light flashing and disappearing, restraining Hashirama while also slightly alleviating the Susanoo's perilous situation.
As the battle time accumulated, blood flowed from Shin'yu's left eye, bloodstains already covering his cheek.
The adaptation process of Mahoraga was continuously progressing!
"Swish, swish!"
Two massive sword energies were easily shattered by the Wooden Figure, and Hashirama found an opening, smashing Shin'yu into the mountain with a punch.
During the backward flight, the Mangekyo pattern in his eye finally rotated for the last time.
Wood Release, adaptation... complete!
A hint of joy flashed across Shin'yu's face, and then his entire body crashed through the cliff, plowing a hundred-meter-long trail on the ground before barely stopping.
He quickly got up, experiencing the changes in himself.
Wood Release, the Chakra attributes that constitute it are three: Water Release, Earth Release, and the most crucial... Yang Release!
Water governs moisture, earth governs nourishment, and yang gives life. It is precisely under the blessing of Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode body and vast Chakra reserves that his Wood Release is so strong!
This also explains why Yamato in the original timeline, even with Hashirama cells and able to use Wood Release, could not achieve the same level as Hashirama.
The Chakra issue is only one aspect; the most crucial is the pure and vigorous life force.
When Yamato, who possessed Hashirama cells, encountered the White Zetsu, a product of the God Tree, his Chakra and Yang Release Chakra were replenished, and his Wood Release could slightly display the splendor of the First Hokage.
But the low-end version is still the low-end version, still far behind the current Hashirama.
All of Hashirama's Wood Release Ninjutsu can continuously absorb the enemy's Chakra in battle to strengthen itself, which is already close to catching up with the legendary God Tree.
Shin'yu's Autumn Dew on Leaves was countered by this move, which is why he was constrained everywhere and unable to exert its effectiveness.
In response, Mahoraga's optimization plan was:
Greatly enhance Shin'yu's fine Chakra manipulation ability, elevating it to a perverted level, and provide him with an extremely special manipulation method.
Fine and meticulous, reconstructing Chakra particles from a microscopic perspective, modifying the Chakra density according to the atomic arrangement of metals, recompressing and then condensing the Chakra, thereby endowing it with the attribute of "Gold."
The essence of wood is inwardly contained, with the characteristics of growth, softness, flexibility, and comfortable freedom.
The texture of gold is heavy and often used for killing, with properties such as subsidence, solemnity, and convergence, representing the kinetic energy of gathering.
The five elements generate and overcome each other, and only the sharp and decisive gold can overcome the flexible and yielding wood!
Shin'yu was surprised that Mahoraga actually analyzed Wood Release based on the principle of the five elements generating and overcoming each other, which he had not expected.
Without delay, he raised his hand and grabbed empty space, and with a flash of light, Autumn Dew on Leaves transformed into a jade-green longsword in his hand.
"Gold Armament's convergence, reconstruction and reshaping!"
Following a special feeling, Shin'yu's mind moved, and under his Chakra reconstruction operation, Autumn Dew on Leaves was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation!
The longsword instantly shrank hundreds of times, even smaller than his fingertip, but in Shin'yu's insightful vision, the interior of this mini longsword was already completely different from before.
The appearance, besides being smaller, was still a transparent jade-green color, only now it exuded a thick metallic luster from the inside out.
The internal Chakra was still like a gurgling stream, flowing continuously, but the arrangement of the Chakra was tight and stable, closely connected according to the structure of metal atoms, and the overall density was strengthened by nearly a thousand times!
The ground shook violently, Hashirama's Wooden Figure was strangling the neck of the black Susanoo and running wildly, about to crush it into pieces.
Shin'yu didn't have time to observe carefully. His right eye turned slightly, instantly moving a thousand meters, returning to the position before he was knocked away.
He injected Chakra into the mini knife in his right hand, and his whole body suddenly shook. "Autumn Dew on Leaves" was like a bottomless black hole, frantically devouring his Chakra!
In just one second, this long knife, with its sharp light flowing and resembling a jade crystal, returned to its original size.
"Autumn Dew on Leaves Gold Armament!"
Shin'yu swung a knife towards the Wooden Figure, and a heavy, solid, and incomparably sharp blade of light flashed through the air, leaving a dark cyan knife mark.
With a "whoosh" sound, like the sound of tearing paper, Hashirama turned his head in horror. One of the Wooden Figure's forearms fell to the ground, the cut neat and smooth as a mirror.
"What is this!"
In addition to being horrified, Hashirama also quickly responded. His hand seals changed, and the Wood Dragon roared and rushed towards Shin'yu, while the Wooden Figure under his feet bent his knees and jumped up, a fierce "War Stomp" heading straight for the Susanoo's head!
Shin'yu's downward slash, the slender blade flashed away, and the huge Wood Dragon stopped abruptly.
As the sea breeze blew, the Wood Dragon was directly divided into two pieces and crashed to the ground.
At the same time, Shin'yu's right eye turned slightly like a gear.
Silently, the small mountain-like Susanoo disappeared out of thin air, appearing strangely behind the Wooden Figure, the tip of the spear gleaming coldly, pointing straight at Hashirama's back.
Shin'yu took the opportunity to activate Ame no Tokotachi to revert to the previous state. That divine weapon-like "Autumn Dew on Leaves" had already dissipated. This move, containing the metallic killing intent, was powerful, but the consumption was terrifying!
With his current Chakra level, he could only swing two knives, and then he had to revert immediately, otherwise he would fall into a period of weakness.
Reconstructing Chakra also consumed considerable mental energy.
With a crisp explosion, the spear was thrown out violently, and a white sonic cone rippled at the tail of the spear. A dark golden streamer flashed past, instantly nailing the Wooden Figure in the back of the head!
At this moment, blazing flames surrounded Shin'yu's body and rose into the night sky. The flames exploded in the high sky, as if wings were opening there. He turned into a stream of light and came to kill, Chongming reappearing!
"Screech!!!"
He kicked the tail of the spear, and the terrifying kinetic energy was transmitted along the spear shaft to the tip of the spear. With a "snap" sound, it pierced through the Wooden Figure's head!
However, Hashirama himself was not hit by the tip of the spear. At the last moment, he once again used Wood Release: Violent Spear Technique, his right arm turning into a giant tree, pushing himself away.
The Wooden Figure punched over, even with Totsuka-no-Tsurugi still stuck in its head, it had not lost its ability to move.
A smile crossed Shin'yu's lips, and he lightly raised his sword fingers!
In an instant, Totsuka-no-Tsurugi buzzed loudly, the golden patterns on the spear shaft radiated light, the magic circle was activated, and the gravity within a radius of several hundred meters was increased to 50 times!
Hashirama looked stunned. For a moment, he felt disconnected from the surrounding environment. A huge, irresistible suction force came from the ground. He was directly pressed on top of the Wooden Figure's head, one knee on the ground, unable to move at all!
His facial features were distorted. He only felt that every inch of flesh and blood, every bone in his body had become his enemy, frantically breaking through the shackles of his body, and pouring into the bottomless abyss!
"This is..." Hashirama tried his best to lift his head, his spine making a "creak" sound of being unable to bear the weight, enduring unimaginable force, "Power beyond the information!!!"
"Crack crack!"
The Wooden Figure's movements stopped immediately, its knees shattered, and its massive body tilted and collapsed.
"It's the power of that spear. As long as it leaves a certain range, it can break free from this strange gravity constraint!"
A determined look flashed in Hashirama's eyes. He closed them, and in an instant, dense natural energy converged into every cell of his body like a whale drinking water. As he opened his eyes, his face was already covered with crisscrossing facial markings!
Sage Mode, instantly activated!
