Sickness

Hashirama wasn't a man that needed saving.

'I already know that of course,'

In fact, there wasn't anyone who was doubtful of that, and despite the man getting older like Whitebeard, he hadn't often really weaker than before, and if he did the difference was negligible so much that only he himself would notice it perhaps.

And while he didn't move about as much as before, his existence was still apparent to anyone strong enough.

Even the old man Whitebeard had talked to Ren before about the protector of city-h that Ren resided in, and he confided in him that the guy was a monster. And easily above SSS rank if in his peak. Which meant he should be at least Ex rank.

'How can someone like that need saving?'

But despite all that, Ren was going to teleport there out of all places that were currently under threat, and it was for a certain reason.

The system had issued a warning that Konoha was going to be destroyed soon.

And that was pretty serious as with Hashirama there it shouldn't be possible, but since it was true, then Ren had to head there.

When he acquired a new power source and was excited about it, Ren didn't even have time to try his newest acquired bijuu abilities.

He had wanted to see if he had a similar Chakra mode as Naruto, but the mission stopped him in place for now.

As such, and after recognizing the dire situation that was currently happening, he chose to teleport, while at the same time, he nodded at the Kumo duo, before he winked at Yugito who was observing him with heated eyes.

And then his form vanished.

**********

'Did he notice?' She thought to herself in panic.

Back in Kumo agency, Yugito who was dominating Sasori saw Ren's act.

In her tailed-beast mode, this puppeteer guy before her wasn't anything worth it, so she ended up playing with him for a bit until the leader finally gave his order to give it their all.

But then, Ren had made a move, and she saw it all happen, as did the others in this place.

But for her especially… It brought heat to her body, and she immediately knew she was enamored by him at that moment.

She wasn't the type to do that sort of thing, and nor was that the situation and time for it, but she couldn't help it as she had no control over something like that.

'Kit, that guy is such a handsome stud, hehe, he even looks like he noticed you,'

Not, when there was this seductive voice of a horny cat speaking to her in her mind. And further stimulating her about it.

'Shut up, Matatabi, we are fighting now,' As to what they meant when they said Ren had noticed, it was actually the sexual pheromones she released as if she was a cat and was about to mate.

Due to being the host of the two-tailed beast, which took the form of a giant cat, Yugito was bound to suffer something similar.

But What the two-tailed beast had said wasn't completely false too. As even she knew how her body was, and at the moment, it really ached for Ren. Despite the war, which further showed how much she was ensnared by him just from a casual display of power.

'He is also transformed into a species of cats, just perfect,'

Yugito just shook her head and decided to ignore the horny cat talking with her for now, and decided to fulfill her orders for now, and defeat Sasori.

Not like the guy could prevail any longer anyway.

Only after that, would she think more about Ren.

'Ren… SSS class hero…'

**********

Meanwhile in Konoha.

The moment Pain and his group members had appeared, Obito followed them shortly, and it was this guy that Hashirama had suddenly gotten alerted to.

Of course, that was a far cry from being scared, as he was rather cautious of him since he sensed such vile energy from inside of him.

Obito then had done a seal and a summoning ritual which ended up summoning all remaining bijuu, apart from the 2-tails, 8-Tails, nine tails, and finally the Sanbi that Ren had in his hands now.

That was equivalent to five Bijuus, each capable of destroying Konoha if Hashirama wasn't here.

But he was there, and his side did have plenty of powerful people who can hold down all those people.

And he would take care of Obito personally since that guy was apparently also a Jinchuriki.

And thus, the fight started one in which everyone had to battle, including Jiraiya, Minato, Tsunade, Guy, and all the strong fighters.

Hashirama had helped them by killing all monsters bothering them, as before he was only helping them when in a death situation since it was a valuable learning situation, but now, he decided to go it hard.

Right now, Guy was fighting in the sixth gate against Kisame, who was known as the human-tailed beast since he had monstrous chakra or mana in his body. This guy also had a sword that absorbs mana so that was also another factor to account for his danger level.

And Guy was giving such a hard tie to this guy despite him using his water style to turn the fighting place to his own advantage.

Jiraiya and Minato both teamed up to fight Pain who had under his control countless SS rank monsters that could regenerate easily due to his paths of Pain.

Not to mention they were fighting against all six pains at the same time too.

It was no wonder that the two were in sage mode already, and giving it their all.

But, the newest addition to the battlefield that relieved them all, was Kushina. The nine-tails Jinchuriki who was known for her temper.

Despite being given the order to stand back in this fight, since they were here for her, there was no way she would and they knew that.

Her addition to the battle gave them the advantage, and it soon was appearing that Konoha was going to win.

After all, just Hashirama was taking care of all Bijuus himself, and the Akatsuki members were occupied by Tsunade and Kakashi, and the others.

Meanwhile, Hashirama was atop his wooden, statue with a dragon coiling around it.

Against him were the five bijuu and atop one of them, was Obito.

A dark energy surrounded Obito, and it also was visible in the tailed Beasts.

*Swish*

A huge dragon that was coiling around Hashirama's statue's neck, was shot like a bullet in an attempt to destroy Obito, but one of the tailed beasts intercepted the attack.

'It doesn't work…?'

The dragon was supposed to incapacitate it to due to it being wood release which was known to suppress the beasts, but it didn't this time, which was shocking to Hashirama, but he didn't stop and had it attack instead.

*Boom*

The giant ape, four tails bijuu, grabbed the dragon and wrestled with it, as its eye spun with a Sharingan symbol inside.

But the statue wasn't idle, other dragons sprouted from it and started to attack immediately.

All headed for Obito until only a few were left as the monsters intercepted some.

Three dragon heads went for Obito, and punched through his body, and raised a cloud of dust.

'He has some strange Jutsu… as expected of an Uchiha,'

Of course, as expected, Obito didn't die, the branches had just passed through his body normally.

But at this moment Obito finally spoke up.

"As expected of you, Hashirama… it seems only this much is not enough,"

He then opened a rift and through it, countless SSS, and SS rank monsters spilled.

SSS ranks weren't easy, and these appeared to be quite high in the level of power.

Hashirama looked at this with a serious expression.

'It seems like this brat has more trump cards up his sleeve,'

As he said, Obito didn't stop there, as every person and monster on the side of the Akatsuki, was suddenly empowered by a huge dark energy resulting from Obito.

'This energy had been building for ages, and now is the time to use it,' Obito looked with absolute calmness as he thought.

Today, even the first Hokage was going to fall.

Still, Hashirama wasn't yet at a point to feel the pressure, and he continued the battle easily, with his giant statue, but it was noticeably harder.

Until one point, when Guy managed to kill Kisame.

And Pain did something impossible.

He revived him.

"How?"

Hashirama's eyes widened as he didn't expect this at all.

But his momentary loss of focus led to him releasing his control over his Body, and he couldn't help but cough blood then.

It seemed like Hashirama was quite sick, as he hadn't yet been even touched in the battle, but he was hiding it perfectly before.

And that was the scene Ren came to witness.
