I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!-Chapter 319 - 320

Hashirama clapped his hands together forcefully.

Massive roots and tree trunks erupted from the ground within a hundred-meter radius, weaving through the earth and air like rampaging dragons. The wood release created a sea of trees surging toward Gensou.

Gensou, unfazed, summoned one of the Truth-Seeking Orbs hovering behind him. The orb morphed into a massive scythe, slicing through the incoming wood release with ease.

"Hah!"

With a roar, Hashirama crossed his fingers tightly, summoning more vines and roots to entwine around the scythe-shaped Truth-Seeking Orb.

Although the orb managed to cut through many of the vines, the relentless barrage of wood release eventually wrapped around the orb, temporarily immobilizing it.

Seeing this, Hashirama's eyes lit up.

At the same time, Tobirama, who had been evading the attacks of two other Truth-Seeking Orbs using the Flying Thunder God Technique, also noticed the phenomenon.

"Senjutsu!"

Both brothers realized the key to countering the Truth-Seeking Orbs.

The wood release infused with Senjutsu chakra wasn't being disintegrated like other ninjutsu or Kekkei Genkai techniques. It wasn't because wood release was special but because it was powered by Senjutsu, which the orbs couldn't nullify.

Realizing this, Tobirama turned toward Minato, who was also in Sage Mode.

Minato quickly understood the implication, nodding at Tobirama. He knew that he and Hashirama would now be the primary attackers.

"Figured it out, have you?"

Gensou glanced at Hashirama, whose expression revealed his discovery. His gaze then shifted to the Truth-Seeking Orb, tightly bound by wooden vines.

In a flash, the scythe-shaped orb retracted and transformed into a rapidly spinning Fūma Shuriken. The spinning orb shredded the vines effortlessly before returning to Gensou's side and resuming its spherical form, unscathed.

Though Senjutsu was immune to the Truth-Seeking Orbs' properties, it was still no match for the orbs' sheer power.

Even the Great Toad Sage, the pinnacle of Senjutsu, had fallen to the orbs—let alone mere mortals trained in Sage Mode.

However, the binding power of Hashirama's wood release, amplified by Senjutsu, was undeniably troublesome.

"So you plan to bind all my orbs with wood release and then focus on defeating me?"

As several massive wood dragons emerged from the ground, coiling toward him and his orbs, Gensou saw through Hashirama's plan immediately.

But he wasn't about to let it succeed.

Clapping his hands together, Gensou summoned equally massive dragons of corrosive acid. The acid dragons roared as they clashed head-on with the wood dragons, dissolving them upon contact.

Despite his relentless attempts, Hashirama's wood release was continually countered.

Even when Tobirama and Minato joined the fray, using Flying Thunder God to execute coordinated strategies with Sakumo and others, their efforts proved futile.

Gensou's overwhelming power, combined with the protection of a Truth-Seeking Orb, rendered all their plans ineffective.

Tobirama even tried to teleport the orbs away by directly touching them, but Gensou, anticipating this, thwarted the attempt effortlessly.

Ultimately, the sheer gap in strength was insurmountable.

In his full-power state, Gensou was second only to beings like the Sage of Six Paths or Kaguya. Against individuals like Toneri in Tenseigan Mode or the Otsutsuki brothers from the movies, Gensou would likely hold his own, if not prevail.

The alliance forces, despite their numbers, were no match. The Edo Tensei bodies, limited by Zetsu clones and Hashirama cells, couldn't unleash their full potential.

And Gensou, with his intimate knowledge of their techniques, had every advantage.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the desperate counterattacks of Hashirama and the others failed, Gensou's orbs systematically obliterated one Edo Tensei warrior after another.

When Hashirama and Tobirama finally retreated to regroup, they realized how few allies remained.

"With Gensou and the Truth-Seeking Orbs combined, they're virtually flawless. Even if there is a weakness, it's impossible to exploit," Tobirama said with a calm yet grim tone.

No matter how many strategies he devised, they were powerless against such overwhelming strength.

"I'm sorry," Minato said apologetically. "If only I were stronger..."

Despite his mastery of Sage Mode and the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato's contributions had been minimal. Gensou's familiarity with these abilities and his orbs' defenses left Minato with few opportunities.

"Fourth, there's no need—" Hashirama began, attempting to console him, but a proud voice interrupted.

"That's right. You were completely useless."

Hashirama's face shifted in alarm as he reflexively called out:

"Madara!"

In an instant, Uchiha Madara appeared before Minato, gripping his neck and looking down at him with disdain.

"If that's the case, hand over your power to me!"

Chakra Absorption!

Before Minato could resist, the Sage chakra within him was drained by Madara.

Hashirama moved to intervene, but Tobirama stopped him.

Madara was no longer their enemy.

Soon, the face on Madara's chest, a result of Hashirama's cells, transformed into a Sage marking.

"So this is Senjutsu?" Madara remarked, his expression calm. "It's surprisingly easy to control."

Releasing Minato, Madara clenched his fists, feeling the Sage chakra coursing through him.

He turned to Hashirama, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Hashirama, it seems we'll be fighting side by side once again."
