Inside the Land of Water's royal palace study, the novel "Madara and Hashirama" was completed. The delicate words on the paper vividly depicted the struggles and regrets of the two legendary ninjas.
Shun slowly turned to the last page, nodding in satisfaction. "This time, you finally captured the essence, especially the part about the Valley of the End, which brought Madara's loneliness and Hashirama's struggles to life."
Tetsu, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief but then looked troubled and said, "Your Excellency, the novel is fine, but the manga and film teams are still struggling. They can't imagine how enormous Hashirama-sama's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands is, nor can they draw the oppressive feeling of Madara's Perfect Susanoo. They keep saying, 'It's too abstract, there's no reference.'"
Shun put down the novel and tapped his finger lightly on the table.
Indeed, although everyone in the Ninja World had heard of the titles "God of Shinobi" and "Uchiha Legend," no one had seen the two's peak combat power. If the manga and film relied solely on imagination, they would inevitably seem shallow.
He pondered for a moment. Then, a flash of inspiration appeared in his eyes as he said, "If they can't imagine it, then let them see it with their own eyes."
The next morning, the Valley of the End in the Land of Fire was enveloped by layers of barriers.
Shun looked at the two people beside him and said, "I'm going to Edo Tensei Hashirama. I believe you also want to see him."
Tsunade clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anticipation. She had seen her grandfather when she was just over three years old and hadn't expected to see him again now.
Nawaki was even more excited, stomping his feet. "Brother-in-law! I've always wanted to know how powerful Sage Art combined with Wood Release can be."
Shun nodded, quickly forming hand signs.
Edo Tensei!
The strengthened White Zetsu became the sacrifice, and the Edo Tensei formation quickly took shape, with a large number of white paper pieces coalescing into Hashirama's form.
The moment Hashirama opened his eyes, his gaze swept across the scene. Finally, his eyes fell on Tsunade, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
"Oh... little Tsunade..."
"Grandpa..."
"Grandpa..."
Tsunade and Nawaki shouted in unison, their voices filled with excitement.
Hashirama was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted and asked, "Shun, have you Edo Tensei'd me for some major reason?"
Shun stepped forward and explained the film's production requirements, "Hashirama-sama, the film needs to present the most realistic duel scenes, including the clash of power between you and Madara during your battle back then, and even the details of move transitions. If you can use your full power, the effect will be even better."
Hashirama looked at Nawaki, and seeing his expectant eyes, he nodded in agreement. "Alright, since it's to let more people understand what happened back then, I'll play along with you. However, with this Edo Tensei body, I can only exert at most half of my strength."
He pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on Nawaki, a hint of relief in his eyes. "This child has a large number of my cells. If I possess him, I might be able to temporarily recover my peak strength."
Hearing this, Nawaki excitedly raised his hand and said, "Grandpa, I'm willing. I've always wanted to experience the true power of Wood Release combined with Sage Art."
When the possession ritual began, green Chakra surged from Hashirama's palm into Nawaki's body.
Nawaki's body instantly tensed and began to transform into Hashirama's likeness. His original youthful aura became calm and dignified, and even his eyes gained some of Hashirama's unique gentleness and determination.
He flexed his wrists, feeling the surging Wood Chakra within him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Grandpa, is this your power? I feel like I could smash a mountain with one punch."
Hashirama's voice came through Nawaki's mouth, with a hint of teasing, "Don't rush, you'll have plenty of opportunities to use it later."
Shun thought for a moment and said, "We're still missing an important character. Minato, bring Naruto over."
A golden light flashed, and Naruto appeared in the field, somewhat bewildered.
Shun activated his Eternal Mangekyo and controlled Naruto to enter full Tailed Beast transformation.
However, because Naruto only had half of Nine-Tails, Nine-Tails' size was reduced by half, but that was not a problem.
The next second, Shun leaped up and landed steadily on Nine-Tails' head, performing the Multi-Size Technique.
Golden Chakra enveloped Nine-Tails, instantly doubling its size.
At this moment, Nine-Tails was majestic, its nine tails waving in the air, stirring up gusts of wind.
The members of the manga and film teams, hiding behind the barrier, were already dumbfounded.
Immediately after, Shun's body surged with Chakra, and he instantly transformed into Madara.
The film director quickly shouted, "All cameras ready! Sound equipment on! Actors in position!"
"Action!"
The moment the director's voice fell, Shun manipulated Susanoo, enveloping the entire Nine-Tails, forming the classic stance of Majestic Attire.
Nine-Tails let out a deafening roar, and a Tailed Beast Ball erupted, blasting towards an empty space in the distance.
When the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, a black and red shockwave swept across the entire area. The ground was blasted into a crater hundreds of meters in diameter, with shattered rocks and dust flying. When the camera lens captured this scene, even the swaying trees in the distance were clearly in frame.
Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!
Hashirama quickly formed hand signs. Senjutsu Chakra formed a green halo around his body. The ground violently heaved, and countless thick wooden arms emerged from underground, rising like a forest and quickly converging into a thousand-meter-tall thousand-handed wooden construct.
The statue's face was solemn, its eyes tightly closed. Over a thousand wooden arms struck towards Nine-Tails and Susanoo.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
This duel lasted for nearly an hour, with every move striving for realism.
The film crew members had long forgotten to breathe, but their equipment remained stable, afraid of missing any detail.
As the battle ended, Susanoo gradually dissipated. Nine-Tails reverted to Naruto's original form, and Hashirama also released the possession.
Nawaki immediately collapsed to the ground, his arms still trembling slightly, but he grinned and said, "That was so exciting. And brother-in-law, you hit too hard, my chest hurts. I'm going to tell Tsunade-nee."
Tsunade walked over and helplessly flicked his forehead. "You were the one shouting the loudest, and now you've learned to complain."
Hashirama looked at Shun, his eyes full of admiration. "I didn't expect that in just a few years, you've grown to this extent, even Madara is not as good as you."
Shun smiled mysteriously. If he were to use his Six Tomoe Rinnegan, he could easily suppress Hashirama, even at his peak state.
The director quickly ran over, excitedly handing over the shooting playback. "Shun-sama. Hashirama-sama. That was spectacular. Every shot was absolutely perfect, this will definitely be the most successful film in the entire Ninja World."
