Although Rifan asked Guren to fight with the First Hokage, to intercept the scheduled rewards of the Hokage of all dynasties.
But in Guren's heart, she was still a little worried about fighting the First Hokage.
She wasn't worried that she would get hurt.
She was just worried that she would not be able to complete the task that Rifan gave her.
"If it goes well, Terumi can end the battle with First Hokage in an instant."
"So you don't have to worry, Guren."
"Just fight as I told you in the training chamber."
"Don't forget, you are my disciple."
"Stand up with your head high and show your courage."
As if seeing through Guren's worries, Rifan stroked her hair with a smile.
Being touched by Rifan, Guren gradually relaxed and was able to focus on the challenge arena of the golden list.
Seeing how Rifan and Guren were getting close, Pakura, who was beside them, couldn't help feeling envious.
'Touching her head, Teacher Rifan has never done this to me.'
'Children also have the advantages of children. '
Pakura thought to herself.
In the golden list challenge arena.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, First Hokage, the god of ninjas."
Terumi rubbed her arms and looked at Hashirama across from her with a smile.
She is more excited now than nervous.
"I've kept you waiting, Fifth Mizukage."
"I have to say, I really underestimated you."
"If the power of the ice just now was used in war, I'm afraid the ninjas under Jōnin would be in trouble."
"Even Jōnin, if not handled well, can be frozen."
Hashirama nodded and glanced at the countdown number in the air.
Immediately, he continued:
"I admire your strength and Rifan who can make you so powerful."
"But for Konoha's sake and scheduled rewards, I will win this battle!"
Losing to Rifan and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, that's fine.
After all, the power of Rifan and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is a real deal.
Even if they lose to them, neither Hashirama himself nor the rest of the ninja world will be surprised.
But when it was Terumi Mei, the situation was different.
In the middle of two battles between Terumi and Hiruzen.
She didn't show overwhelming strength.
Even in the second fight, Terumi ended the fight in less than a minute.
But it can only be said that Hiruzen chose the wrong attacking method.
Even Terumi's "Ice Cavalry" couldn't end the battle in such a short time if Hiruzen fought normally.
After all, among the five attributes of ninjutsu mastered by Hiruzen, his mastery of fire ninjutsu was the best.
"Understood! However, I also have a reason why I can't lose." Terumi's mouth curled up, "I can't let Teacher Rifan in front of the whole ninja world lose his reputation."
Hashirama nodded slightly:
"Then, let's use our skills."
As his voice fell, the countdown number suddenly returned to zero and disappeared.
Hashirama immediately moved into action, clapping his hands, and a wooden dragon emerged from the soles of his feet.
Carrying him, he rushed towards Terumi.
"Wood Style, Wood Dragon Technique!"
When Hashirama's voice reached Terumi's ears, Hashirama had already rushed to a place less than 10 meters away from Terumi.
Terumi's eyes narrowed, her hands clasped together, and a mysterious wave spread out from her body.
Affected by such fluctuations, Hashirama suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.
"not good!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Hashirama immediately wanted to use the Chakra of nature to perform magic.
However, he was still a step too late.
The corners of Terumi's mouth twitched upwards, drawing a very mysterious smile.
"Freeze, time and space!"
"Mahapdama!"
As Terumi murmured in a low voice, a translucent blue halo sparked from her body.
In a blink of an eye, Hashirama, who had come to Terumi Mei less than five meters away, was encircled and covered within a barrier with a radius of 10 meters centered on Terumi.
Hashirama, who was affected by the halo, stopped in front of Terumi out of thin air as if the pause button had been pressed.
"Sorry, First Hokage, you're still late after all."
Terumi used the power of ice to create a long sword of ice, which swiftly swung across Hashirama's neck.
Then, her other hand touched Hashirama's head.
Hashirama's head was detached from his body.
"You are a very formidable opponent, but unfortunately, you do not understand my abilities."
"So I won this battle."
Terumi murmured softly as she poured the power of ice in her body into Hashirama's head.
Freezing it completely.
Click!
Terumi's left hand clenched hard, and Hashirama's still serious face cracked.
The lines spread rapidly and eventually covered the entire head.
In less than ten seconds, Hashirama's head was shattered, witnessed by everyone in the ninja world.
