When Isshiki made an arrogant statement.
Hashirama and Madara didn't waste any time and launched their attack first.
The main controller of the Great Buddha was still Hashirama himself, while Madara was more of a supplementary supporter.
There was no other choice, as Hashirama's power was already too vast, making it extremely difficult for Madara to simply wrap it up.
Of course, not much energy was left to control the Great Buddha, so Hashirama had to move on his own.
This would make the collaboration easier and smoother.
*WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!*
*WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!*
Hundreds of giant hands with Susano'o's release stretched out from behind the Buddha, once again charging towards Isshiki in a dense and extraordinary manner!
The power of the Great Buddha was more than just one plus one.
The Thousand-Armed Buddha, already possessing near-Quasi-Six Paths level infinite power, with the blessing of Susano'o, stepped into the Quasi-Six Paths level in one move.
The strength of each strike was several times greater than the previous one, and a single strike was enough to take down the Kyuubi.
This time, even Isshiki found it a bit challenging to fight back.
With his full strength, he was indeed capable of destroying the giant wooden hands, but it was clearly heavier than before.
And it truly ended up in a reduction and prolonged war.
How could he last longer than Hashirama and Madara?
The longer the Kama state was maintained, the more Isshiki's vitality would be drained, which would significantly shorten the vessel's lifespan.
Isshiki couldn't delay for too long.
"With such power, you are indeed the strongest ninjas ever!"
"I, Otsutsuki Isshiki, acknowledge you!"
Isshiki grinned. He deliberately acted very enthusiastically to try to confuse Lux, who was watching the battle from the sky.
"But this alone cannot stop me!"
Isshiki suddenly waved his hand and launched another eye technique—Daikokuten.
The next moment, a large number of giant black cubes fell from the sky, blocking most of the attacks from the giant wooden hands towards Isshiki.
Daihakoten: A standard tool of the Otsutsuki Clan, possessing immense weight and the ability to block the enemy's perception. Even the Bijuu could hardly withstand its weight!
Somewhat similar to Hashirama's Senjutsu: Myojinmon, but even stronger!
Myojinmon needs to touch the target to suppress chakra, but once Daihakoten appears, it can suppress and block all chakra perception in the surrounding area.
This is one of the standard props given by the Otsutsuki Clan to the God Tree planting team, and it can be used to suppress the Jubi's rebellion.
However, the Great Buddha that Isshiki used to fight Hashirama was also very useful.
As the large cube-shaped statues fell one by one, the immense weight immediately crushed the giant hands of the Buddha Susano'o one by one.
And with the blocking and Daihakoten, Hashirama and the two others couldn't even sense Isshiki's location!
Isshiki took advantage of this opportunity to break through the blockade and charge towards the main body of the Great Buddha.
*WHOOSH!*
*BAM!*
Another swift kick.
He kicked directly at the Buddha's head, where Hashirama and Madara were.
*CRUSH-BANG!*
Isshiki broke through the Susano'o armor and the Great Buddha's defense.
With one kick, he blew off half of the Thousand-Armed Buddha's head.
However, in the end, he stopped in front of the Rank Technique shield layer, only destroying half of the shield before using his remaining energy and failing to injure Hashirama and Madara behind the shield.
"Combining Susano'o and Wood Element, the defensive power is truly amazing? It's beyond my expectations!"
Isshiki could only sigh. This was the first time he saw his pure brute force being blocked by ninjutsu!
Hashirama's Thousand-Armed Buddha was slightly stronger than the Susano'o combined with the Kyuubi.
Now he wanted to uncover the 'strong Buddha'.
This was equivalent to Isshiki having to kick three or more complete Susano'o forms with one kick; even if he succeeded, his strength would definitely be reduced to an extreme.
It wasn't enough to kill Hashirama and Madara.
After all, even after Isshiki destroyed Naruto's Kyuubi and Sasuke's Susano'o with one strike, he still couldn't kill both of them with one attack. This shows that their Susano'o and Kyuubi defenses could indeed weaken most of their strength.
But one kick wasn't enough, and Isshiki wouldn't just stand there and watch.
He immediately threw a punch, destroying the shield in front of him, and hit the two Hashirama behind the shield again.
*BAM!*
The two Hashirama behind the shield exploded again, one turning into sawdust, and the other exploding into white mist.
Clearly, these were all clones!
The real bodies of Hashirama and Madara had been moved!
The next moment.
A wooden head quickly appeared from the left shoulder of the giant Buddha. The wooden man opened his mouth, revealing Hashirama and Madara hiding inside.
Isshiki frowned and became increasingly angry.
"Just two ninjas, how dare you play around? Do you really think you can stop me by moving to the other side of the Buddha?"
"How naive!"
Isshiki exploded again and attacked with all his strength.
In an instant, he reached the left shoulder of the Buddha and shattered the entire wooden statue into pieces with one punch.
The attack also shattered Hashirama and Madara into pieces again.
As expected, Hashirama and Madara exploded into sawdust and white mist. They were just two clones!
The next second.
A wooden human figure appeared again on the right shoulder of the giant Buddha. It opened its mouth and spat out the figures of Hashirama and Madara again.
At the same time.
In that short time, the giant Buddha's head, which was originally destroyed by Isshiki, was quickly repaired with the help of Hashirama's Wood Element, and immediately returned to its original state.
The Buddha's head also opened its mouth, revealing another Hashirama and Madara!
Seeing two identical pairs of Hashirama and Madara in the distance, how could Isshiki not understand that he had been completely fooled by Hashirama and Madara!
They had long known that Isshiki couldn't see through the weakness of clones.
Therefore, they immediately prepared a large number of clones to deal with Isshiki's super physical violence.
The difference in physical strength was too great, so it was only natural to play to one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, using the advantages of ninjutsu to confuse the enemy.
As two heroes from the Warring States Period who dominated the ninja world, Hashirama and Madara had far more combat experience than Isshiki!
Of course, they knew how to use every means to defeat the enemy.
This was also the advantage of growing step by step from a weak state. It was naturally difficult for the Otsutsuki, who were born strong, to understand.
Hashirama and Madara cooperated. The defense was stronger, the wooden Buddha was larger, and the endurance was longer.
This was their chance to defeat Isshiki; as long as he couldn't destroy the entire Great Buddha with one strike, they might be able to exhaust Isshiki to death!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The deceived Isshiki became furious. This was truly outrageous!
He was too lazy to think about whether to escape or not.
He just wanted to crush those two ninja ants to death and vent his anger!
"You're seeking death!"
Isshiki was extremely angry and unleashed all his power.
He gave up attacking Hashirama and Madara because he really couldn't tell which of them was the real one, or if both were clones.
But he was sure that Madara's real body must still be hidden inside the great Buddha's body, so they could maintain and control the entire Buddha!
If so, just shatter the Buddha statue into pieces, leaving them no place to hide!
Isshiki jumped high and kicked the Buddha's head again with unparalleled ferocity.
*BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!*
*BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!*
He relentlessly struck the giant Buddha statue one by one.
Each strike was like a Bijudama explosion, destroying the Buddha's body layer by layer.
At the same time, he activated Daikokuten and once again released dozens of large black rods and Daihakoten falling from the sky.
The Great Buddha was firmly fixed in place, preventing it from moving and escaping.
And further weakening the Buddha's regeneration speed.
But only a dozen seconds.
Most of the mighty Buddha's body was destroyed by Isshiki. Although the surrounding Wood Element was still regenerating and repairing quickly, it was clear that the regeneration speed couldn't keep up with Isshiki's destruction speed.
