Chapter 155 Destruction is not the goal, plunder is the basis

Jumping up.

The energy giant leaped high into the sky, looking down at the wooden man on the ground below.

Clang! !

The crossed swords flashed, and the amazing thunder slashing wave fell from the sky, forming a huge X, slashing the wooden man.

Boom! ! !

The huge body fell further into the pit.

The thunder slashing wave cut deeply into the wooden man's body, almost splitting the wooden man into four.

As the wooden man swayed, the Senju Hashirama on top of his head also shook violently.

However, the chakra of his feet allowed him to firmly attach to the wooden man's head.

At the same time, when the thunder slashing wave fell, Senju Hashirama also controlled the wooden man in time, using his palm as a shield to protect himself.

Move the palm that was almost cut off away.

Senju Hashirama did not hesitate at all, while letting the wooden man's wound regenerate and recover, he controlled the wooden man to dodge to the side in a hurry.

Boom! ! !

Almost as the wooden man dodged, the energy giant that landed after the thunder slash wave trampled hard on the wooden man's original position.

The earth groaned, and the energy giant's trampling made the deep pit vibrate wildly, and it also deepened again.

Clang!

Falling into the deep pit, the energy giant calmly swung his sword to slash at the wooden man who hid aside.

The slash wave wrapped with lightning was like a crescent, tearing the earth madly and approaching the wooden man quickly.

"Wood Style·Ranking Technique!"

"Wood Style·All Bag Technique!"

A wooden shield that was as big as the wooden man rose up with a bang to resist the tearing of the thunder slash wave.

At the same time, huge wooden palms stretched out from the energy giant.

Some of these wooden palms grabbed the energy giant's hands and feet, while others clenched their fists and smashed.

Double swords slashed.

The approaching wooden palms were cut off one after another.

At the same time.

In the energy derivation, a pair of wings covering the sky and the sun condensed on the back of the energy giant.

The wind howled.

Before more wooden hands could grab him, the energy giant flapped its wings, leaped from the ground, and flew high in the sky.

Boom!!!

The Thunder Slash hit the wooden shield. Under the fierce impact and lightning attack, the wooden shield was shaky and finally failed to hold on and exploded.

After the wooden shield was smashed, the scale of the Thunder Slash was reduced a lot, but the remaining power was still extremely strong, and it continued to hit the wooden man fiercely.

In the turbulent air waves, not only was there a deep crack on the wooden man's chest, but his feet also sank into the ground, sliding backwards for dozens of meters.

"Is it the limit? It seems that the opponent is not enough to perform the Sage Mode this time."

Naraku, who was controlling the energy giant to fly in the air, looked down at Hashirama Senju who was struggling to control the wooden man to stabilize his body on the ground below.

His eyes flickered slightly.

Wood Release is naturally very strong.

But if we talk about what Hashirama Senju is really good at, it is definitely the Sage Wood Style in Sage Mode.

After a battle, Naraku has actually been waiting for Hashirama Senju to use Sage Mode.

But until now, even though he was suppressed by him, Hashirama Senju never used Sage Mode.

With such performance, it is impossible that Hashirama Senju showed mercy, but that he simply could not use Sage Mode.

Although the sacrifice provided by Orochimaru for Hashirama Senju was not a rubbish Genin, it was obviously not comparable to the sacrifice of White Zetsu.

Based on Hashirama Senju's current performance, ordinary Wood Style should be his limit.

To be honest, Naraku was a little disappointed with this situation.

After all, when he found Hashirama Senju, he came with great expectations.

Otherwise, he would not have specially summoned [Star] when Hashirama Senju used Wood Style.

This is not to be able to fight with the opponent more freely.

With Naraku's current strength, the conventional combat power of the ninja world basically poses no threat to him.

If he had not been concerned about the unclear attitude of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he would have already exploited the world's cultivation resources.

Of course, being concerned does not mean that he will really be restrained.

Otherwise, he would not have launched the Konoha collapse plan.

Similarly, he is quite interested in Senju Hashirama, the super combat power that once dominated the ninja world.

This interest is to use the other party as a tool to measure his own strength.

If Otsutsuki Hagoromo is a six-path level, then Senju Hashirama can definitely be called the strongest person under the six-path level.

Using Senju Hashirama as a measure.

It means that only those who can defeat Senju Hashirama are qualified to challenge Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

This Senju Hashirama refers to the Senju Hashirama in his heyday.

Now.

The reincarnated Senju Hashirama can only be regarded as a rehearsal for Naraku.

If even the reincarnated Hashirama Senju couldn't crush him, let alone Otsutsuki Hagoromo, even if he was in his prime, he might not be able to beat him.

This is actually why he never used his magical powers.

If Hashirama Senju didn't show his senjutsu wood escape technique, and he already needed to use his magical powers to suppress the opponent, it only means that he is still far away from challenging Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

Let's talk about this moment.

Hashirama Senju's reincarnation this time was much worse than Naraku expected.

If the opponent couldn't use the sage mode, then he was far from his prime.

This made Naraku lose interest in continuing the fight.

Based on the opponent's current strength, it cannot be used as a tool to measure one's own strength.

"Forget it, just deal with it casually!"

The disappointed Naraku changed his mindset.

From wanting to measure his own strength, he changed to just deal with it.

Although he no longer had interest in fighting, it would definitely not work to leave Hashirama Senju alone.

After all, the evacuation of Xia Rixing and the others would take a certain amount of time.

After sensing the situation of the evacuation of the personnel, Naraku, who had changed his mindset, began to deal with Hashirama Senju casually, just delaying the opponent in place.

As for why he didn't defeat Hashirama Senju directly.

This is related to the Konoha collapse plan this time.

From the beginning, Naraku never thought of defeating Konoha in one fell swoop.

It's not that he has feelings for Konoha, nor that he doesn't have the ability to do it.

But it's not in his interest to defeat Konoha now.

Destruction has never been the goal, plunder is.

Just as other ninja villages have always coveted the Land of Fire.

The same is true for Naraku.

Just wanting to plunder the resources of the Land of Fire, he can't do it alone.

The current Star Ninja Village is not strong enough.

Even if he defeats Konoha in one fell swoop, the resources that can be plundered from the Land of Fire with the current strength of the Star Ninja Village will be very limited.

After all, other forces will not let the Star Ninja Village eat alone.

Once Konoha falls, all forces will inevitably pounce on the Land of Fire like wolves.

Naraku does not have the energy to deal with them one by one, so the real opportunity to capture Konoha depends on whether the Star Ninja Village has the strength to swallow the Land of Fire.

Or at least swallow most of the resources of the Land of Fire.

The current Konoha collapse plan.

In fact, it is just to weaken Konoha's strength.

Konoha's blood volume is too thick.

It's like the Sand Village will seek his support.

Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen's death brought Konoha a lot of chaos, Konoha still showed a strong dominance in the face of war.

If left alone, Konoha will most likely survive the Third Ninja World War smoothly.

This result, Naraku, who wants to swallow the Land of Fire, naturally does not want to see.

Therefore, it is very necessary to let Konoha bleed.

Once Konoha's strength is weakened, it will be easy to fall into the quagmire of war.

Not to mention that the subsequent war will further weaken Konoha, the extension of the war alone will also give the Star Ninja Village more time to develop.
