Hokage: Ryo’s Path - Chapter 532

The burning black flame shuriken was unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Gedo Mazo.
Right before the shuriken hit Gedo Mazo, Otsutsuki Momoshiki moved; with both hands, he shielded Gedo Mazo with the red aperture.
The burning black flame shuriken broke down right when it touched the red aperture.
Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke were startled. Even the Hashirama brothers’ expressions in the distance were heavy.
……
“Tobirama, what the hell is going on? Amaterasu’s black flame actually disappeared. What did Otsutsuki Momoshiki do?
“Otsutsuki Momoshiki’s type of Jutsu is decomposition, and that red aperture can break down all matter and ninjutsu. Be careful when you get on him, don’t touch the red aperture, or our Edo Tensei’s body will be broken down and can’t be recovered.” Senju Tobirama said.
“What? Truly troublesome! But our purpose is not to fight them. It’s to destroy Gedo Mazo!”
After talking, Hashirama sealed the trees with his hands, and he used them to absorb the surrounding nature Chakra and enter Sage Mode.
He continued to print, and a huge wooden dragon* rose from the sky, flying directly to Gedo Mazo.
[*TL Note: Wood Release: Wood-Dragon Technique (Mokuton: Mokuryuu no Jutsu), The user creates a gigantic wooden dragon, which they can use for a multitude of purposes, including restraining a target or for offensive purposes. In the anime, Hashirama was able to cause the dragon to detonate on his target, resulting in a large explosion]
……
Otsutsuki Momoshiki coldly snorted. He controlled the red aperture and flew to the front of the wooden dragon, wanting to break down the Wood Dragon from Senju Hashirama.
To his surprise, his Jutsu had little effect in the face of Hashirama’s Wood-Dragon.
After a large number of chakra injections, Hahsirama’s Wood Dragon continued to move towards Gedo Mazo,
Naruto glanced at Senju Hashirama and looked at Otsutsuki Momoshiki with a smirk. He seemed to understand something.
“Naruto, what’s going on?” Sasuke asked with a strange expression.
“Hey, hey! I found the weakness of Otsutsuki Momoshiki’s jutsu.”
Hearing this, Sasuke’s eyes lit up. He looked at naruto and asked, “weakness of the jutsu? what is it?”
“It’s the Sage Mode or the natural chakra! After Shodai-sama entered Sage Mode, the red aperture did not break down his Wood-Dragon.”
“Sage Mode? I can’t enter Sage Mode, but I have natural chakra. Let me verify your findings.”
Sasuke turned on the Curse Seal and incorporated the power into Susanoo. Then, he fired a long arrow with a black flame at Gedo Mazo again.
The result is just like what Naruto said. Momoshiki’s jutsu has no way to break down the black flame completely. By cutting part of the chakra, the long arrow directly hit Gedo Mazo.
The Gedo Mazo made a sad cry, and then the huge body began to burn in an instant.
“Damn little demon.” Momoshiki gnashed his teeth and looked at Sasuke. He took out Rinnegan, and the black flame on Gedo Mazo also disappeared.
With the help of Sharingan, Sasuke could see there was no trace of burning in Gedo Mazo. It’s as if his long arrow had never hit Gedo Mazo.
…….
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara, who has been watching the battle by the side, murmured, “It turns out this type of Dojutsu from Rinnegan is really good.”
“Madara-sama, what do you say?”
Madara’s voice was low, and the black-and-white Zetsu didn’t hear it clearly.
Madara stood up and stretched his arms, “I said, Hashirama has appeared, and I should get going. Obito, I will leave the Gedo Mazo to you.”
“I understand.”
Madara put Uchiha Clan’s fan on his back and walked out.
…….
Otsutsuki Momoshiki’s Rinnegan was closed for about ten seconds before slowly opening. Feeling the power of Rinnegan, Momoshiki’s face instantly became ugly.
Just when Momoshiki was about to use some trump cards, Uchiha Madara came over and said, “Momoshiki, leave the ‘old friends’ to me! All you have to do is make sure no one destroys Gedo Mazo.”
Otsutsuki Momoshiki looked at Senju Hashirama in the distance and nodded.
Uchiha Madara slowly walked towards Naruto and Sasuke.
Hashirama could sense Madara’s chakra and immediately rushed over.
In this way, after a century, the opponent-friend met again.
…..
“Hashirama, It’s been a long time!”
Uchiha Madara did not immediately start but greeted Senju Hashirama like a normal acquaintance.
“Madara, what exactly are you planning? Why are you reviving Juubi?”
“Ah yes,” Madara smiled and said, “I will use the power of Juubi to launch Infinite Tsukuyomi and let the whole world fall asleep. Then, everyone can experience dream worlds where their deepest desires are fulfilled… This world will then always be peaceful.”
When talking about Infinite Tsukuyomi, Madara seemed a little excited.
“What kind of joke is that! Where is peace in that? Right now, the ninja world has been peaceful, the people of the villages united, for the future of the world.” Naruto refuted.
Hearing this, Madara looked at Naruto with a look of disdain and said, “Ah, I remember you are Uzumaki Naruto. In a way, you and Hashirama are really alike. You two are so naïve!
Now the ninja community can unite because we are here, and any village can’t face us alone. So, they have to work together in order to survive. This is not peace. This is survival! Once we are away, the Ninja World will immediately return to the way it was before! They will become suspicious of each other again and kill each other!”
“Madara, your mind is so extreme that I wouldn’t approve of the way you pursue peace.”
“Hmph! I don’t need you to agree. It was always like this! From the past, we can’t always agree on something, Hashirama.”
After saying that, a blue giant rose. The power of terror was overwhelming, and Naruto and Sasuke could feel the terror in their hearts.
“Madara, I really don’t want to fight you. I don’t know what method you used to resurrect completely. But as long as I am here today, I won’t let you achieve your goals.”
As soon as Hashirama said that, a Mokujin about the size of the blue giant got out of the ground. The two giants scuffled directly.
“What are you waiting for? My big brother has dragged Uchiha Madara. Come and go destroy Gedo Mazo with me!” Senju Tobirama shouted.
Naruto and Sasuke glanced at each other and rushed towards Gedo Mazo with Tobirama.
……
The trio arrived in front of the Gedo Mazo and saw Otsutsuki Momoshiki there.
“Ah, you two are the scoundrels that cracked Edo Tensei, right? It’s a hindrance that you have messed up my plans, so are you ready to pay the price?”
