Chapter 918: Hashirama, Kuzan, Madara, Roger!
Ninja World Continent.
The Southern Coast of the Land of Fire.
Here, it still looked like a place where Icebergs stood tall, covered in white snow, and was freezing cold.
Perhaps the only change was the absence of that terrifying Blizzard.
But it left behind a Wood Golem Statue here, nearly a hundred meters tall, completely Frozen.
Its appearance was exactly the same as the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Its deep gaze seemed to be looking towards the Northern sky.
Perhaps because that direction was the direction of Konoha.
And behind it was a vast strait that also showed no signs of thawing.
The Sea Waves Ice Sculpture on the surface, lifelike and vivid, appeared crystal clear and beautiful under the Sunlight.
And right at the foot of this giant Wood Golem Statue.
The two people who had just finished a great battle were actually sitting at opposite ends of a wooden table.
It was Hashirama Senju and Kuzan.
However, even when the two sat down.
Kuzan's Body Size and Height were still much larger than Hashirama Senju's.
After all, one was 'only' 1.85 meters tall, while the other was nearly three meters tall.
"So this is the World Government..."
Hashirama Senju murmured, watching the Virtual Image in Mid-air slowly sink into Darkness.
He had just watched the latest version of the 'World Government Propaganda Film'.
What is the World Government?
What Political Affairs Departments does the World Government have, and what Military Troops?
What is the Sea Star Mainland where the World Government is located probably like?
How are the Other Worlds that the World Government has already conquered developing now?
And so on and so forth. Hashirama Senju had gained a basic Understanding of these questions through this 'Propaganda Film'.
This also laid a good Foundation for the subsequent communication.
The most important thing was that Hashirama Senju now understood.
The World Government's purpose was not destruction, but Rule.
It also let him know that the Ninja World could absolutely not be the World Government's Opponent.
Of course.
There were actually two main reasons why Hashirama Senju lost his Fighting Intent.
One was that he had already received the News that Konoha had been occupied by Aramaki.
The second was that in this battle, he was defeated.
This Admiral Aokiji's Ice Ability.
Could not only Freeze all the dust and debris on the field.
Maximizing the prevention of the Impure World Reincarnation's Regeneration Ability.
It could also make the surrounding Temperature lower and lower.
Later, it could even get so low that without the Protection of the Four Red Yang Formation.
His Wood Release would basically be instantly Frozen as soon as it was exposed to the Air.
This was even with the enhancement of Sage Mode Chakra.
So Hashirama Senju understood very clearly.
With his current Strength, including his Strength before death, it was unlikely he could defeat Kuzan.
And the longer time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
This Ice-Ice Fruit completely counters Wood Release in all aspects!
It was not surprising.
After all, how many Trees could survive during an Ice Age?
"Lord Hashirama, we actually have some Understanding of your Experience."
Kuzan gazed at Hashirama Senju, whose face still showed surprise, with a gentle Expression.
"Before your death, you were dedicated to Ninja World peace, and you opposed the situation where Children also went to the Battlefield."
"Therefore, you teamed up with the Uchiha Clan to found the Konoha Hidden Village, and you even performed the great feat of distributing the Tailed Beasts to other Ninja Villages..."
Speaking of this, Kuzan's gaze was somewhat complex.
Because even he felt that this behavior was too naive, even enough to be called foolish.
In comparison.
He actually agreed more with Madara Uchiha's idea of achieving peace by unifying the Ninja World at that time.
But even so.
Kuzan still felt Respect for Hashirama Senju.
After all, this man was truly making an Effort for the Peace of a World.
"This is truly a bit shameful. I didn't expect that the Tailed Beasts distributed to other Ninja Villages not only failed to serve as mutual checks and balances, but instead became Weapons for them to kill each other..."
Hashirama Senju shook his Head helplessly.
"The World Government can fulfill your Dream!"
"Hmm?!"
Kuzan's words made Hashirama Senju stand there stunned.
The World Government could bring peace to the Ninja World?
It sounded a bit outrageous.
After all, the World Government was currently invading the Ninja World, stirring up War and Slaughter everywhere.
But thinking carefully.
Looking at the development and changes of the few Worlds called 'Kabaneri World', 'Demon Slayer World', and 'Imperial Arms World' in the 'Propaganda Film', overall, they were indeed getting better and better.
If the 'Ninja World' were to be ruled by the World Government later.
Then the Various Nations and Ninja Villages within the 'Ninja World' would definitely not be able to arbitrarily start Wars anymore.
Also, with the Scale of the World Government, there would be no need for Children to go to the Battlefield.
As for the adult Ninjas from Various Nations being sent to Other Worlds to participate in War.
Hashirama Senju didn't really care about that.
He wasn't so saintly as to worry about other Worlds.
Moreover, didn't this just give the Ninjas a place to continue using their skills?
Thinking this way, the World Government's Invasion seemed to be a good thing...
Hashirama Senju was immediately dumbfounded.
"It seems you have understood. Then let's go."
Kuzan slowly stood up. Hashirama Senju raised an eyebrow: "Where to?"
"First, we'll head to Konoha. I imagine you must be very worried about the situation there. Afterwards, you'll return to Rōran with me, and then there will be a dedicated person to take you to see everything in the footage with your own eyes."
While speaking, Kuzan used his Ability to create a Bicycle made of Ice in front of him.
"Ararara~ I wonder if you know how to ride this?"
"A Bicycle, huh? I did ride one with Tobirama when I was a Child. I don't know if I still can..."
Hashirama Senju followed and stood up, stroking his Chin, lost in thought.
Immediately, he also used Wood Release to create a Bicycle made entirely of wood in front of him.
In the next few minutes.
Kuzan watched with a smile as Hashirama Senju practiced riding the Bicycle in front of him.
From wobbly to gradually riding steadily.
The whole process was mixed with the Laughter and Exclamations of the two people.
When Hashirama Senju and Kuzan, each riding their own Bicycle, stood side by side.
The Friendship between the two was officially established.
"Then... Depart!"
"Okay, then let's see who gets to Konoha first!"
Hashirama Senju laughed loudly.
At this moment.
It actually made him recall in a daze.
The scene of skipping stones by the riverbank with Madara Uchiha when they were Young Men.
"Madara, although I don't know where you are, if you knew about the existence of the World Government, you'd probably be very happy. Haven't you always complained about having too few opponents, you guy?"
Hashirama Senju thought to himself.
"Arararara~"
"You definitely can't beat me at this. I often ride my Bicycle across the Great Sea!"
Kuzan's Laughter rang out in the Wind and Snow.
And the back view of the two riding their Bicycles gradually disappeared into the Wind and Snow...
Perhaps.
Im's Star Gate not only connects two Worlds.
It is also connecting the fates of the people in both Worlds...
Netherworld, Pure Land.
"Madara, I won this battle, Hahahaha!"
Roger's Laughter, full of a King's Aura.
Actually somewhat drowned out the various rumbling sounds coming from afar.
On this Earth that had completely collapsed.
There was only him and Madara Uchiha kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Hmph!"
Madara Uchiha slowly stood up.
Expressionlessly, he raised his head and looked up, no longer looking at Roger's triumphant smile.
However, there wasn't much Anger in his Heart.
Instead, he felt happy.
Just a Defeat.
Although depressed, he had gotten used to this feeling with Hashirama Senju.
So he was even more delighted to meet a Strong Opponent.
And this man named Roger is indeed very interesting.
Or rather, his Personality is a bit like Hashirama Senju's...
"But this War, it seems you lost!"
Roger's thick black eyebrows raised upon hearing this.
Subconsciously, he also looked overhead, thinking to himself.
"Indeed, Enma's Aura is chaotic, and much weaker."
"That Lord of the Pure Land called 'Sage of Six Paths', is actually this Strong?"
But Roger put away the Blade he had placed before Madara Uchiha's neck, smiling and saying:
"Not necessarily. Your 'Sage of Six Paths'' Aura isn't much Stronger either."
"Their Strength should be evenly matched, just like you and me, but the one who won in the end was me."
Madara Uchiha snorted coldly again: "Then let's see!"
Ninja World Continent.
