Chapter 353 The Man Who Defeated Hashirama
Standing behind Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha said, "Some things have changed, and collecting the nine tailed beasts is not going smoothly."
Madara Uchiha frowned upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words.
Turning to look at Obito Uchiha, who was wearing a mask, he asked, "What happened?"
Obito Uchiha walked over and said, "A powerful person has appeared, a person who may be even stronger than you."
Madara Uchiha sneered, "Do you know how strong I was at my peak?"
Although Obito Uchiha was taught by Madara Uchiha, Madara Uchiha did not believe that Obito Uchiha could understand his strength.
Obito Uchiha didn't say anything, but instead said, "Orochimaru, come out and tell him exactly what happened."
Orochimaru emerged from behind a large tree, looking at the former ninja world's strongest warrior.
He felt somewhat emotional.
When Madara Uchiha saw Orochimaru, he was not surprised, because Madara Uchiha knew of Orochimaru's existence.
"A guy who existed during the Second Shinobi World War."
When Orochimaru walked over, he said in a hoarse voice, "Hehehe, it's rare that you still remember me."
Madara Uchiha frowned slightly and asked, "I didn't expect it was you who resurrected me with Edo Tensei. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Obito Uchiha remained silent, while Orochimaru chuckled, "There's just a powerful figure blocking our plan, and we can't deal with him yet."
Madara Uchiha said coldly, "Even you, with your Rinnegan, can't solve this?"
Madara Uchiha looked at Obito Uchiha and asked.
Obito Uchiha shook his head. Although we've never fought, I'm certain I'm no match for him.
Madara Uchiha frowned. "Is that so? Who is it? Are they ninjas from Konoha?"
Orochimaru nodded. "They are ninjas from Konoha."
Madara Uchiha said, "As expected, such a strong person can only appear in Konoha Village."
Although he left Konoha and was even very dissatisfied with the village, Madara Uchiha was confident that only Konoha would produce true strongmen.
"You mean, this person is stronger than me? What makes you think that?"
Madara Uchiha looked at Obito.
Obito looked at Orochimaru, expecting him to explain.
Orochimaru thought for a moment and then asked, "Who is stronger, you or the First Hokage?"
Madara Uchiha, who had been calm, suddenly turned grim. "What do you mean?"
Orochimaru also felt the immense pressure.
He quickly said, "Don't look at me like that. What I'm trying to say is that if your strength isn't greater than that of the First Hokage, I'm afraid you're no match for him."
Madara Uchiha couldn't believe it. He was very proud and had always believed that the only person in the world who could surpass him was Hashirama Senju.
No one but him could possibly surpass him.
But Orochimaru's implication seems to be that the person's strength is even greater than that of Hashirama Senju.
is it possible?
Madara Uchiha looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Are you implying that he fought Hashirama?"
Orochimaru nodded. "We did fight."
Madara Uchiha remained silent for a long time.
He knew what Orochimaru's words meant.
"He won?"
Even though he already knew the outcome, Madara Uchiha still asked, unwilling to give up.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru's answer shocked him immensely.
Orochimaru said, "He not only defeated the First Hokage, but also the Second, Third, and Fourth Hokage at the same time."
"And the fight between the two ended in less than an hour."
Madara Uchiha was stunned.
"Is it possible that the Hashirama you resurrected with Edo Tensei doesn't possess the strength he had in life?"
This was Madara Uchiha's only wish.
But Orochimaru shattered his last hope.
Orochimaru shook his head. "Do you sense that this body possesses the strength you had at your peak in your previous life?"
Madara Uchiha sensed it, and the result left him feeling helpless.
Orochimaru explained, "I used a White Zetsu's body as material to create this, so it should possess the strength you had in life."
"Similarly, the First Hokage's body was also created in the same way."
Madara Uchiha remained silent for a long time.
"How could such a powerful expert appear? Which family does he come from?"
Madara Uchiha hoped that the other party came from a very powerful family, at least to prove that his family was powerful, and perhaps possessed some powerful bloodline limit.
Orochimaru shook his head. "He came from a commoner background, an ordinary commoner in Konoha Village."
Madara Uchiha's face grew increasingly grim; he couldn't accept this.
"How is this possible? How could an ordinary person be so powerful?"
Madara Uchiha was very proud, and similarly, he never really looked down on ordinary ninjas.
He doesn't even look down on ordinary families.
Madara Uchiha looked at Orochimaru and asked, "What kind of ninjutsu is he skilled in?"
Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "What ninjutsu is he good at? That's a difficult question to answer."
"Because it seems that none of the ninjutsu he uses is weak."
Madara Uchiha asked with a serious expression, "What do you mean?"
Orochimaru explained, "He uses many very conventional Five Elements Escape Techniques, but each one is extremely powerful."
"If we're talking about which of the Five Elements Escape Techniques he prefers to use, or which one he's strongest at, it's probably Lightning Escape."
"His Lightning Release technique can even condense a samurai the same size as a wooden doll. The First Hokage was defeated in one blow by that kind of ninjutsu."
"Even if you don't face it directly, just watching it from the sidelines is enough to feel its terrifying oppressive power."
Orochimaru still feels lingering fear when he thinks about the Thunder Giant used by Yoru, because he can sense that the Thunder Giant can truly destroy him, along with erasing the soul marks he placed on others.
Although Yoru hadn't done it, Orochimaru had one piece of experience when facing Yoru: he could sense something, and it was best to trust him, because Yoru would only be stronger than he sensed.
He wouldn't have helped Uchiha Obito if he hadn't been looking for a power that could suppress Yoru.
The Ten-Tails, as Obito described it, possessed immense power. He felt there was a chance to suppress Yoru, which is why he helped Obito.
Madara Uchiha frowned. "Isn't that a ninjutsu similar to my Susanoo? The difference is that he uses a ninjutsu, while I use a dojutsu."
"To be able to create such ninjutsu, and to do so using conventional escape techniques, truly shows the strength of a master."
Even though Madara Uchiha had never personally fought Yoru, he knew that Yoru's strength was definitely greater than his own, since Yoru was able to defeat Hashirama Senju with ordinary Lightning Release instead of relying on his bloodline limit.
Madara Uchiha looked at Obito Uchiha and said, "Since that guy is stronger than me, what are you trying to do by resurrecting me with Edo Tensei?"
"You should know that the only way to deal with such a powerful being is to revive the Ten-Tails."
