Blue Rain

*BOOM*

The roots of a large tree protrude from the ground, and the tips of the roots slice through the air like blades, effortlessly tearing through obstacles in the room.

Amidst the chaotic roots, a figure moves, agilely avoiding the onslaught of tree roots.

Satoru continues to dodge the attacks of the trees, each leap and turn executed with high precision.

"Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan (Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees)."

At this moment, the surrounding trees grow and spread more aggressively. They attempt to trap Satoru in this labyrinth of tree roots, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

"Is this the power of the Ninja God?"

Satoru shows no fear. Instead, he feels excitement amidst the chaos.

He deftly avoids the attacks from the trees, sometimes leaping to the tops of trees, sometimes slipping between the tree roots.

At this moment, another figure suddenly appears in the air.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!"

Madara spews forth a large fireball from his mouth.

The fireball ignites instantly, illuminating the darkness.

Satoru disappears in an instant and reappears on another tree trunk.

The fireball strikes where he had just stood. Its explosion burns the surrounding trees to charcoal.

However, he stands unharmed on the tree trunk, gazing at Madara and Hashirama in the distance.

Madara is not surprised to see the other party evade his attacks without causing any damage.

"Is this Konoha?" Hashirama stands atop the tree roots, gazing into the distance.

In the night, lights in the distance and atop the farthest mountain, four stone statues tower under the moonlight.

Hashirama's face darkens. He turns to see Orochimaru behind him and asks coldly, "Do you want us to attack Konoha?"

A cold smile appears at the corner of Orochimaru's lips, and he says casually, "First Hokage, to this day, you are merely a pawn in my hands. Even if I were to destroy Konoha, you cannot refuse my orders."

"Hmph!" Hashirama snorts. Although he is not pleased with Orochimaru's actions, he is currently very weak and cannot break free from Orochimaru's grip.

At the same time, Satoru leaps lightly into the air.

He floats in the air, facing the three below.

"Frankly, the strength of the top two ninjas is much worse than I imagined." Satoru's voice is mocking.

As he speaks, a small blue ball appears between his fingers.

"In that case, return to your place of origin."

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue."

Many blue balls appear in front of Satoru. The balls gather and bloom with bright light.

The light illuminates the night sky as bright as daylight.

This strong light causes Hashirama and Orochimaru to close their eyes.

"This..."

The blue balls surge like shockwaves, piercing the night sky like meteors and flowing down without distinction.

This simultaneous attack and its momentum are very surprising.

"This kid is truly a tough opponent."

Madara stands on the other side, his Sharingan staring at the blue balls in the sky, his whole body starting to flicker with faint blue light.

"We must show our true abilities, Hashirama." Madara's voice reaches Hashirama's ears, "Otherwise, we might fall into this kid's hands."

At the same time, Orochimaru stands beside him, staring obsessively at the falling blue stars and Satoru in the sky.

He can't help but mutter to himself, "So beautiful..."

His eyes fixate on the deep blue eyes, gleaming with greed.

Although Hashirama is somewhat reluctant, driven by orders deep within his heart, he still raises his hand and prepares to use ninjutsu.

"Mokuton: Mokujin no Jutsu (Wood Release: Wood Human Technique)"

Dozens of blue balls slam into the ground heavily.

BOOM

BOOM

Each small ball hits the ground, accompanied by a roar, raising dust and gravel, filling the air with smoke, and coloring the night sky a blurry blue.

Under this assault, the wooden human quickly summoned by Hashirama also trembles.

The wooden human's body begins to crack, and branches and leaves fall one by one.

"Hmph, Hashirama, you're regressing!"

Madara sneers and appears behind the wooden human.

He forms seals with his hands, condensing blue energy.

"Susano'o!"

Bright blue light instantly gathers on the wooden human figure.

The blue light adheres tightly to the wooden human's body. With the blessing of this power, the wooden human appears stronger and indestructible.

Hashirama watches this scene with a smile. He nods in appreciation and says, "A clever idea to place Susano'o on the wooden human!"

"Madara, as expected of you!"

Madara responds without hesitation, "Stop the empty praise! Hashirama, now is not the time to commend me."

His eyes shift to Orochimaru, and he says coldly, "Brat, next time you summon us, remember to find a stronger body, such a weak body is not even worthy of our opposition!"
