Kapitel 64: Vs

Fenrir, sensing the imminent danger radiating from Hashirama, reacted with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, his body transformed, adopting his hybrid form, the most suitable for close combat.

His muscles swelled under his black fur, his claws lengthened like blades, and his yellow eyes gleamed with predatory fury. In one hand, he wielded his axe.

Hashirama, with terrifying calm, watched Fenrir's transformation. A sadistic smile spread across his face, revealing his thirst for battle.

"Interesting," Hashirama murmured, his voice resonating with confidence. "Let's see if you can keep up with me, beast."

Without warning, Hashirama lunged at Fenrir, his body moving with surprising speed and agility. His fists, hardened with Armament Haki, crashed against Fenrir's axe, creating a shockwave that lightly shook the island.

Fenrir, surprised by Hashirama's speed and strength, barely managed to block the attack. He stepped back, his claws scraping the ground as he tried to regain his balance.

Hashirama didn't give him time to react. He followed up with a series of quick, precise blows, each aimed at Fenrir's vital points. The werewolf blocked some of the blows with his axe, but others struck his body, making him retreat even further.

Fenrir growled in pain and rage. "You're fast, human!" he exclaimed, his voice full of fury. "But not fast enough!"

With an agile move, Fenrir dodged Hashirama's next strike and counterattacked with a claw swipe imbued with Armament Haki. Hashirama blocked the attack with his forearm, but the force of the blow pushed him back several steps.

The battle turned into a frenzied exchange of blows, each one more powerful than the last. Hashirama dodged and blocked Fenrir's attacks with millimetric precision. Fenrir, in turn, used the speed and agility provided by his hybrid form to keep up with Hashirama.

The ground trembled beneath their feet, and the air was filled with unleashed energy. Trees split in two, and rocks shattered under the force of their blows.

Hashirama, feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins, smiled with satisfaction. "This is what I've been waiting for," he said, his voice full of excitement. "A real fight."

Fenrir's roar echoed across the island, a wild howl that made the ground tremble and chilled the blood of any creature that heard it. The sound, intertwined with Conqueror's Haki, became a weapon in itself, an invisible shockwave that made trees creak and rocks crack.

Hashirama, however, was unfazed. With a quick move, he dodged the shockwave and counterattacked with a punch imbued with Armament Haki and Senjutsu. His fist, glowing with an emerald green aura, struck Fenrir's chest, sending him flying backward.

Fenrir crashed into a cliff, leaving a deep crack in the rock. He struggled to his feet, his fur scorched and his breathing labored. A wild smile spread across his face, revealing his bloodlust.

"That's what I've been waiting for!" Fenrir roared, his voice full of excitement. "A worthy opponent!"

With a powerful leap, Fenrir launched himself at Hashirama, his axe shining with a sinister light. Hashirama dodged the attack with agility and counterattacked with a flying kick imbued with Armament Haki and Senjutsu. The impact sent Fenrir flying through the air, crashing into a giant tree.

The tree split in two, and Fenrir fell to the ground, rolling in the dirt. He quickly got up, his body covered in wounds, but his fighting spirit intact.

"Don't give up so easily!" Hashirama shouted, his voice echoing across the island. "I've shown you my power, now show me all of yours!"

Fenrir responded with a defiant roar. He extended his arms and created an ice storm, a blast of icy wind and snowflakes sharp as blades. The storm swirled around him, turning him into a whirlwind of ice.

Hashirama shielded himself from the storm with a wooden barrier. Then, taking advantage of a gap in the storm, he launched a punch imbued with Senjutsu and Conqueror's Haki. The blow struck Fenrir's side, sending him flying towards the ocean.

Fenrir crashed into the water, creating a giant wave that spread along the coast. He struggled to stay afloat, but the weight of his body and the strength of the current dragged him into the depths.

Hashirama watched from the shore, his face indifferent.

But the battle wasn't over. Fenrir, driven by his survival instinct, fought against the current and managed to surface. His body still in hybrid form was covered in wounds, and his breathing was ragged, but his eyes burned with unyielding determination.

With a final roar, Fenrir gathered all his remaining energy and launched a desperate attack. He created a gigantic ice wolf over himself, a replica of himself, which lunged at Hashirama with incredible speed, freezing the surroundings with every step.

Hashirama, however, was ready. With a quick move, he attacked with a punch imbued with Senjutsu, Conqueror's Haki, and Armament Haki. The blow struck the ice wolf's chest, shattering it into a thousand pieces.

Fenrir, weakened and exhausted, fell to his knees. His body trembled, and his eyes filled with frustration.

Observing Fenrir, kneeling and defeated, Hashirama showed no compassion, only a morbid curiosity. A twisted idea began to take root in his mind, something innovative.

".....Do you cry, beast?" Hashirama said with a cold, mocking voice. "Is the great giant wolf nothing more than a scared pup?"

With a swift movement, Hashirama created a huge wooden cage around Fenrir. The thorny branches intertwined, forming an impenetrable prison. Fenrir struggled to break free, but the branches clung with unbreakable strength.

Raising his head, with eyes full of hatred and despair, Fenrir growled, "Then kill me, coward!"

Hashirama smiled cruelly. "Coward? Perhaps. But I'm also intelligent and creative."

With a gesture of his hand, he made the cage's branches sink into the ground, dragging Fenrir with them. The wolf fought with all his strength, but it was in vain. The earth closed over him, leaving him trapped in a living tomb.

Hashirama knelt next to the cage, his smile widening. "Don't worry, Fenrir," he said in a sweet voice. "I won't let you die... yet."

With a wave of his hands, Hashirama began to manipulate the terrain, transforming the cage into something more complex. The thorny branches intertwined with the nearby tree roots, creating a network of veins and arteries that connected to Fenrir's body.

The wolf felt a sharp pain as the roots penetrated his skin and fused with his circulatory system. A heart-wrenching scream escaped his throat, echoing through the forest. Each connection, each fusion, was an indescribable torment. Fenrir howled and whimpered, his body writhing in endless suffering.

Hashirama, far from being moved, seemed to delight in each scream of pain. His eyes gleamed with a sickly light, and his smile widened with each new scream from Fenrir. "This is just the beginning," he whispered, almost savoring the words. "I will turn you into a living work of art."

For days, Hashirama worked tirelessly, molding and transforming Fenrir's body. The branches intertwined with his bones, muscles, and organs, creating a grotesque fusion between wolf and plant. Each of Hashirama's movements was precise and calculated, designed to inflict maximum pain.

Fenrir screamed with each new change, his voice hoarse and torn from the continuous suffering. "Please, stop!" he howled at one point, but Hashirama only laughed, reveling in the creature's torment.

Finally, Fenrir became a living tree, his limbs transformed into gnarled branches, and his fur into thorny leaves. His face, still recognizable, was distorted by pain and despair. Hashirama observed him with dark and perverse satisfaction, delighting in his creation.

"You're beautiful!" Hashirama proclaimed, caressing Fenrir's thorny leaves. "A constant reminder of my victory."

Fenrir, trapped in his vegetal prison, could not respond. He could only stare with vacant eyes as Hashirama walked away
