บท 51: The Temptation of the Ninja God

Chapter 51:

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't…

Wood Release is a powerful ninjutsu beyond the seven chakra attributes. It not only has the ability to change in a thousand ways, but also gives Hashirama Senju superhuman recovery ability. But Wood Release is not perfect...

"Wood Release can create real life, but the price you pay is your own life."

Senju Hashirama smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although I won the battle with Madara in the Valley of the End by chance, I consumed too much vitality."

As he spoke, Senju Hashirama stretched out his hands and gently scratched the fair and delicate skin with his fingernails. There was no blood, no flesh, and the trunk that looked like a dead tree was shocking...

At this moment, Hashirama Senju was like a tall birch tree that had been eaten away by insects. Within the upright trunk was a decaying life...

"Why are you telling me this?"

Li Jiexuan's voice was a little cold. It seemed that the fact that Hashirama Senju told him such a secret meant something.

"Because, you are the future of Konoha!"

Senju Hashirama laughed loudly and teased Li Jiexuan: "A two-year-old jonin, the Sage of Six Paths is no more than this!"

"I'm nowhere near that strong!"

In front of Senju Hashirama, Li Jiexuan had no chance and frankly admitted: "Now, in front of a jonin, I can only run for my life!"

Jonin has always been the top power in the Naruto world, and some powerful Jonin even master several S-level ninjutsu. Li Jiexuan's Raikiri is really not good enough. What's more, Li Jiexuan's Genin-level chakra makes it impossible for him to fight for a long time...

"But you will continue to get stronger, right?"

Senju Hashirama stared at Li Jiexuan closely, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes: "In just two months, you already have such power. If it weren't for the Anbu's repeated confirmation, even I wouldn't dare to believe it!"

In two months, he went from an ignorant baby to a young genius who defeated Hyuga Hiroma. The span of time was so long and the time was so short that even Hashirama Senju was really surprised...

Li Jiexuan was not surprised at all that Senju Hashirama could find out his background. He was mentally prepared when he decided to challenge Hinata Hiroma.

"If you are given more time to practice, even I am looking forward to what you can achieve."

Senju Hashirama did not hide his admiration for Li Jiexuan at all: "Maybe, in a few years, you will really become the future of Konoha!"

"You want to persuade me to stay?"

Li Jiexuan was very surprised. He didn't expect that Senju Hashirama didn't want him to go to the battlefield...

"You should know that the suppression of genius by various countries is cruel."

Senju Hashirama sighed slightly: "Many geniuses have died in Konoha over the years. If you stay in Konoha, I may be able to guarantee your safety, but if you are on the battlefield..."

Such a flesh-and-blood mixer has killed countless geniuses, and the death of a Kage-level powerhouse is nothing.

"No matter how beautifully the flowers in the greenhouse bloom, they are just playthings!"

After pondering for a while, Li Jiexuan shook his head gently: "Moreover, if you really investigate it clearly, you should understand that I have reasons to go to the battlefield."

"I can't let that idiot go to the battlefield alone. I owe him this!"

After saying that, Li Jiexuan turned around and left without any hesitation. He was angry about the corruption of Senju Hashirama. In Li Jiexuan's heart, Senju Hashirama had always been the god of ninja who laughed loudly.

Could it be that even the God of Ninja cannot resist the corrosion of time?

After Li Jiexuan walked away, Senju Hashirama stared into the distance quietly. After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud: "This time, I really began to believe it, Li Jiexuan!"

"The future of Konoha?"

Senju Hashirama smiled gently, with an unfathomable smile on his face: "Little Tsunade, you have a good eye! Now I feel relieved..."

Even if the tall trees are old, the will of the ninja god will never decay...
