134 Last Resort
Hashirama knew what Kentaro had activated, he knew that it was the sage mode judging by the pigmentations that appeared on his face.
In the past, Kentaro's body could draw natural energy by itself after having being forcefully fed by the Yuri family.
What he thought would be permanent was not. Kentaro noticed that this ability was only getting weaker and ultimately dissappeared with the years. Kentaro had to draw his own natural energy, he used his half to do it while his other half fought.
The golden staff flew into Kentaro's hand, he grabbed it and waited for the duo to act first. The Perfect Susanoo prepared its sword and swung it to Kentaro.
Kentaro formed six hand seals. The ground turned to mud and the gigantic absolute hand stopped the Susanoo's blade.
Kentaro filled his fists with natural energy and beat on his chest, green waves of sound traveled to the Perfect Susanoo.
"Let me see how the supposed strongest defence will do against this." when the sound waves reached them, it nearly made their head explode.
The Golden staff grew immensely big and struck the Perfect Susanoo on the head, breaking its wooden armor and its original one.
Kentaro flew incredibly fast at them after his staff connected, he prepared to punch as hard as he could. His whole right arm was covered in stone.
"Earth Style: Added Weight-Rock Jutsu!"
Kentaro's punch landed on the Perfect Susanoo's head, just were Madara was standing. The first second nothing happened, the next one, the Perfect Susanoo's head had completely shattered.
The power of the punch traveled towards Madara and struck him, he was sent crashing far away. Hashirama was falling down and prepared to cushion his fall.
A massively heavy kick fell down on his left shoulder, Hashirama heard his bones crack. Kentaro flew down as fast as he could to reach the crashing Hashirama.
"Wind Style: Thirty-Six Blades Jutsu."
Around Hashirama, the wind turned to wind blades. Thirty-six of them moved in circles around his whole body.
His whole body was filled with cuts and horrible wounds, Kentaro was ready to kill Hashirama once and for all.
"BOOOOM!" Hashirama crashed down, one of the wind blade nearly cut his left forearm off, it was hanging on a single ligament.
Kentaro stopped flying down and hovered over Hashirama, he joined his two hands together to form a triangle.
A white transparent cube slowly grew in front of his hands, Hashirama was panting and looked at Kentaro with nearly lifeless eyes.
"Get him!" as Hashirama said this, a massive wooden arm came from the left of Kentaro, he rapidly turned to it and turned it to dust with the particle style.
'Damn!' Kentaro realized that the wooden golem was standing behind him. Before its other intact hand could slap him, Kentaro turned to Hashirama.
'Illusion Jutsu: Constant Blood' the wooden hand slapped Kentaro away, the sound of his bones break and his skin cut filled the air.
The wooden golem stayed in front of the gravely wounded Hashirama like a guardian, it made sure that no attack could reach him.
"He nearly killed me. Had I not formed the last hand seal before the wind blade nearly cut my whole forearm off, I would've been turned to dust by now." Hashirama lyed down and looked up the sky.
His body was slowly regenerating, but something didn't seem right to Hashirama. Even though he was regenerating, blood was still gushing out of his wound without any sign of stopping any soon.
Far away, Kentaro was sliding on the mud field. His bones had broken and parts of his skin had cut open because of the slap.
"Luckily I bought that regeneration ability. I would have been dead without it. I've placed Hashirama in the Constant Blood genjutsu, he should be distracted when I'll attack him." Kentaro straightened himself and ran towards them.
From far away, he could see the Susanoo slowly forming until it was in its perfect form. Madara was coming towards him.
The Perfect Susanoo unsheated it's blade and swung it towards Kentaro, a chakra wave in a cresent moon traveled to him.
Kentaro came to a halt and looked at it coming for him, the power behind it was impressive.
"Sage Art: Yakata's Mirror!"
The clouds suddenly split, from the sky descended a massive a mirror, it penetrated deep into the ground. Even so, it stayed massively tall.
Yakata's Mirror was the third great Sage Art Kentaro possessed, the ability it possessed could make it one of the most coveted treasures.
The chakra wave met with Yakata's Mirror. A blinding light shone, it seemed as if it illuminated the whole land with its size.
"SWISHHHH!" Kentaro looked at what was happening, he was amazed to see the power of the mirror. Yakata's Mirror reflected the attack and sent chakra wave back to the Perfect Susanoo.
"This.....is madness." Madara looked at his own attack coming for him, it struck his Perfect Susanoo.
It looked like Madara had lost all of his will to fight, anything he tried to do was always blocked, countered or destroyed. The Perfect Susanoo fell on its back and slowly dissipated.
"It doesn't look like you, Madara." Yakata's Mirror slowly sunk into the mud and dissappeared, Kentaro looked at the dissipating Susanoo.
Kentaro stopped walking, he looked at the wooden golem getting smaller and smaller until it was no more. Hashirama stood up and got in Kentaro's way.
"Hashirama, you know that you are no match to me. You should've accepted my proposal when I gave you the occasion to." Kentaro looked intently at Hashirama who was five hundred meters further.
"Madara is part of Konoha, he is part of my great family. He is no threat to the village whereas you are." Hashirama joined his hands together and closed his eyes.
Kentaro could sense the power he was going to use, Hashirama was drawing natural energy in. The dark green pigmentations on his face appeared.
"This is the last resort! Kentaro, we are now even in power. Let us settle things down once and for all." Hashirama grabbed his scroll and summoned his sword.
"You're right, let's finish this once and for all." Kentaro opened his right hand, the golden staff flew to it.
The two of them ran to each other and clashed, the battle of the sages had begun.
