Senju Hashirama’s forehead veins bulged, indicating he was exerting full effort to activate Wood Style.

Moments later, Senju Hashirama exhaled deeply, his eyes glanced downward, and upon seeing the vast expanse of ’bean sprouts’ beneath his feet, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. --

Su Xiao did not mock Hashirama for producing a field of bean sprouts; on the contrary, Hashirama’s strength was somewhat unexpected. --

Tsunade had merely come into brief contact with the[PSX-17 Type Alchemical Experimental Elixir], which suppressed the vitality of her Senju Clan lineage, even forcing her into a state of dormancy. --

Hashirama was different; although his cells were suppressed, they hadn’t gone dormant. At this moment, his ability to use Wood Style was an impressive display.

"It seems you have studied my cells, similar to that ninja named Orochimaru."

Senju Hashirama’s expression didn’t change much, even carrying a hint of a smile.

"..."

Su Xiao didn’t speak; he simply walked slowly towards Senju Hashirama. The vitality within Hashirama had drastically reduced, primarily preventing him from using Wood Style. Moreover, all of Hashirama’s abilities, such as physical attributes and Chakra levels, were similarly suppressed.

Despite the Chakra being suppressed, Su Xiao could clearly perceive that the amount of Chakra in Senju Hashirama was terrifying.

This level of Chakra can’t be compared with that of a ninja. Assuming the One Tail has a Chakra level of 3 and the Nine-Tails about 40, then Hashirama’s chakra level sits between 15 and 17.

This terrifying amount of Chakra isn’t at the ninja level, but at the Tailed Beast level, ranking quite high among them.

It’s no wonder Hashirama possesses such a terrifying amount of Chakra; his Wood Style techniques are large-scale jutsu requiring waves of Chakra as support.

Neither Kisame Hoshigaki nor the Fourth Raikage, A, could compare with Hashirama’s amount of Chakra. If an ordinary ninja’s Chakra amount is a pond, then Hashirama’s is a lake.

The title "God of Ninja" is not undeserved, as even when his body’s cells are significantly suppressed, Senju Hashirama remains very strong.

A mechanical eye floated beside Su Xiao, identified as the [Eye of the Apostle], intended for probing enemy information.

[Comparing the Intelligence Attributes of both parties... Comparison complete, our Intelligence is 1.123 times that of the enemy, due to the disparity in strength, 73% of the enemy’s data obtained.]

...

Seeing Hashirama’s attributes, Su Xiao’s eye twitched. If the opponent were at full strength, Su Xiao would be contemplating not how to fight, but how to escape.

The good news is, Hashirama’s Wood Jutsu is nearly discarded, and his physical attributes have suffered exaggerated weakening.

At full strength, Hashirama’s abilities might reach the mid to upper Fourth Tier, as breaking the attribute limit of 100 points is another level of transformation.

After attributes reach 80 points, each point increase is difficult. The rewards for Su Xiao completing the Main Task only apportioned him 2 true attribute points as a reward, given that his task was to instigate a ninja world war of extreme difficulty.

Su Xiao would need to traverse countless worlds to attain the four attributes at 100 points. If Hashirama were at full strength and activated Sage Mode, his stamina attribute would have breached the 100 points mark.

A Mu’s stamina attribute is 85 points, which is already quite extraordinary. As for a stamina attribute of 103 points, whether Su Xiao’s Dragon Slash could cut through Hashirama’s muscles is unknown.

The relief is, Hashirama’s current state is severely weakened, and even if he activates Sage Mode, his attributes won’t reach despairing levels, projected as: Power 84 points, Agility 80 points, Stamina 88 points, Intelligence 83 points.

These attributes are significant enough for Su Xiao’s headache. Luckily, they don’t reach the degree that renders him powerless, although an 88 points stamina attribute indicates Hashirama’s formidable survival ability.

There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is Hashirama’s Sage Mode was not weakened.

What was weakened was the Senju Clan’s vitality within Hashirama, not him entirely. Sage Mode operates on Natural Energy, fundamentally unrelated to the vitality of the Senju Clan.

The current situation is clearly acceptable, or rather, it is a godsend. The mid to upper Fourth Tier Senju Hashirama being weakened by Su Xiao to near the peak of the Third Tier presents an extraordinarily valuable opportunity.

Su Xiao even speculates that if he can defeat Senju Hashirama, he might win a treasure chest above the legendary quality, or at least a top-tier legendary quality treasure chest.

If he finds equipment or items within such a treasure chest, Su Xiao’s prowess would undoubtedly leap to a new level.

The opportunity is right in front of him. No, this opportunity is hard-won by Su Xiao’s tireless efforts. Though some efforts were unrelated to today’s plan, they nonetheless played a vital part in its success.

Research on Original Hashirama Cells, collaborating with Obito, gaining a higher rank within Akatsuki Organization, entwining with the Fourth Ninja World War, cooperating with Madara while not being considered a trivial character, earning respect, etc.

Any one of these elements missing would have made it impossible for Senju Hashirama to stand here before Su Xiao in his current state.
