Chapter 12: Bloodline Elimination

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sounds of metal clashing echoed continuously as Hagoromo Gengetsu and Senju Hashirama transformed into two black blurs, colliding and intertwining at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow on top of the wooden and flame giants.

With a swift motion, Hagoromo Gengetsu deflected Hashirama's incoming punch, then darted forward, his other hand's fingers forming a blade. Accompanied by the sound of tearing space, he slashed viciously at Hashirama's neck.

Hashirama leaned back, narrowly avoiding the hand blade, and swept his right leg upward like a whip.

Gengetsu raised his arm to block, but Hashirama's monstrous strength, unleashed like a flood, finally broke through the defenses of Gengetsu's Steel Release, which had endured many of Hashirama's powerful blows. The sound of breaking was heard, and blood splattered.

Ignoring his injuries, Gengetsu used Hashirama's force to pull himself to his side in a moment.

Boom!

Unable to defend himself, Hashirama was kicked away. Gengetsu followed swiftly, grabbing Hashirama's arms and using his Dark Release to rapidly absorb his chakra.

Hashirama shuddered briefly but quickly recovered, charging towards Gengetsu. Realizing he shouldn't be greedy, Gengetsu twisted his waist and threw Hashirama away with a powerful motion.

Sizzling sounds accompanied the process as the chakra from Hashirama began healing Gengetsu's wounds almost instantly.

"As expected of Senju Hashirama, and this is just his normal chakra. If it were Sage chakra, the effect would be even greater."CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Determined, Gengetsu pressed his hands together, "Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A semi-transparent cube formed in Gengetsu's palms. With a push, the cube expanded rapidly, engulfing the entire Flowering Tree World in an instant.

There was no explosion, no tremor. It was as if an eraser had wiped the blackboard. A bright white light flashed, and the once awe-inspiring Flowering Tree World vanished, leaving only a cracked, barren ground.

Time seemed to freeze. Outside the battlefield, everyone, including the future Second Tsuchikage Mu, stared intently at Gengetsu's display of Dust Release, a technique previously known only to Mu.

Still stunned, Mu could only smile bitterly, explaining, "It's not surprising that someone who can develop so many Kekkei Genkai can also develop Dust Release. His Dust Release is far more powerful than mine."

Mu's explanation was accepted by the others, who were now more deeply impressed by Gengetsu's talents. With so many Kekkei Genkai, it wasn't surprising that Gengetsu had mastered the Dust Release, an advanced technique beyond normal Kekkei Genkai.

This battle showcased the full extent of Gengetsu's abilities. Despite having other skills and secret techniques, they were of little use against the formidable Senju Hashirama.

"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

A cone-shaped semi-transparent barrier shot from Gengetsu's hand, aimed directly at Hashirama. Aware of its destructive power, Hashirama leapt out of the way.

Though Hashirama dodged, the colossal Wood Golem behind him couldn't. Under Gengetsu's precise aim, the light from Dust Release engulfed the Wood Golem's head, disintegrating it into atomic particles.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Flame God roared, steam surging from its body as it exerted its full strength. Finally, the headless Wood Golem collapsed, unable to rise again.
