Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Looking at Senju Tobirama who was blocking his way, Uchiha Madara felt as if he had seen a ghost. If he hadn't been sure that he was indeed awake, he would have wanted to slap himself hard twice to wake himself up.
"White Hair, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you are no match for him, take Jing and the others and run away."

Senju Tobirama did not turn around, but his voice was filled with unquestionable determination.
The combination of Uchiha Madara and Nine-Tails can basically sweep the entire ninja world, but he is facing Hashirama who has opened the True Thousand Hands. Two fists cannot defeat a thousand hands. The combat power of the two is obviously not in the same dimension.
The only path that awaits Uchiha Madara is failure.

"Escape? There is no such word in my Uchiha Madara's dictionary."

Unhappily, he swung away the arm that was blocking him, and took a step forward, his high fighting spirit showing no sign of fading.

"You don't have to worry about me. He can't stop me if I want to leave."

He glanced at Uchiha Madara who was standing in the same row with him with an inexplicable look in his eyes. Senju Tobirama felt slightly touched. He thought that the other party did not leave because he was worried about his safety.
He is proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique and can come and go freely. As long as Uchiha Madara and the F6 evacuate safely, Senju Tobirama can run away as he pleases.

"Stop being so sentimental."

Glancing at the calmed-down Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara shook his head in disdain.

"Get out of the way. I've just finished warming up."

"Don't be so stubborn. Don't forget who you are now."

"You remind me now, I am the Hokage!"

"you"

Looking at the stubborn Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama was speechless for a moment.
"Neither of you can escape."

Clone No. 9, who had witnessed the two people blaming each other, interrupted impatiently, and as he spoke, he clasped his hands together, and a thick branch broke out from the scalp of the Buddha.

Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama's eyes fixed, and they dodged to the left and right in tacit understanding, but these products of Wood Release, nourished by the fairy chakra, became stronger and more flexible, and their movements were like opening a lock, and they accurately chased after the two figures who were still there.

"It's so difficult."

In mid-air, Tobirama Senju frowned, made a seal with one hand, and the whole person turned into blue light and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already fallen behind the clone, and the kunai in his hand, which was glowing with cold light, suddenly stabbed at the opponent's fragile neck.
"Ding!"

But unfortunately, a wooden shield rose from the ground and easily neutralized Senju Tobirama's sneak attack.
"Tsk."

After failing to hit him with his first strike, Senju Tobirama gave up the fight and disappeared in a blue light again.
"You can't even break his defense, so don't waste your energy here."

Uchiha Madara had already dealt with the wood branch that was tracking him. He turned his head and looked at Senju Tobirama who was flying the Thunder God to his side. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"You are the same, Wood Release is the nemesis of the Tailed Beasts. Even if you have the protection of the Knight System and are immune to some of the effects of Wood Release, with the blessing of Senjutsu, it is only a matter of time before his Wood Release consumes you to death."

Senju Tobirama, who felt that Uchiha Madara was a little ungrateful, gritted his teeth and fought back.
If he wasn't worried about the village being leaderless, he wouldn't have bothered with Uchiha Madara's life or death. This naturally evil Uchiha Laoden should just die early and be reborn.

"It's just Wood Release."

Uchiha Madara slashed the sword and cut off several branches that were attacking him. He then transformed the blade in his hand into a gun and shot out a white bullet of light.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The clone raised his hand expressionlessly, and a wooden wall protected him tightly. The chakra bullets condensed by the power of the tailed beast could only leave dense shallow pits on the wooden shield.
"Don't resist any longer. Become the nutrients for my evolution."

The smoke and dust cleared, and the wooden shield slowly opened, revealing the unharmed clone inside. He looked at Uchiha Madara and the other man with a bit more human desire in his eyes, and his covetous gaze was filled with greed.
As long as he swallows the chakradan bred by these two humans, he can become a real human.

Thinking of this, the clone's face once again showed the gentle smile he had shown before, but it was extremely glaring in the eyes of Uchiha Madara and the others.
"Boom!"

The newly awakened clone got tired of the cat-and-mouse game, and slowly put its hands together. The wooden Buddha sitting cross-legged in the lotus position beneath its feet finally began to move.

"Go down."

The next second, Uchiha Madara and the other found themselves covered by a huge shadow. Looking up, they saw the sky was filled with densely packed wooden hands, rushing towards them like a tide.
"Come with me!"

Just as Uchiha Madara was stunned, Senju Tobirama raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder. A blue light flashed, and after a dizzying moment, the two of them appeared under the feet of the wooden man.

"You're doing unnecessary things again."

Turning his head to look at the solemn-looking Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara knocked away the other's palm.

"Hokage-sama, sensei!"

The F6 who had been standing by and keeping silent flew over to the two of them, each with a look of fear on their face.

This was not a fight they could engage in.

"Why are you still here?"

Senju Tobirama frowned tightly. He thought that when the war broke out, all his disciples had already scattered like birds and beasts, thus preserving the legacy of Konoha.

"How can we leave without the teacher's order?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen knelt on one knee and looked at his gloomy teacher with a firm gaze. Although the enemy could not be defeated, they would never flee in the face of the enemy.

"Yes, there are no deserters in Konoha."

Compared to the slightly annoyed Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara somewhat appreciated the behavior of these young people.

He is worthy of being the disciple taught by my eldest cousin. He is a little weak, but his courage is commendable.

"Forget it, you hold on for a while, I'll send them away first."

Rubbing his swollen temples, Senju Tobirama decided to send his disciples away first, otherwise when the indiscriminate battle began, they would most likely die from unknown AOE.

"Run, all you know is to run, you don't have the courage of a Konoha branch secretary at all."

Looking at Senju Tobirama who was about to use Flying Thunder God to take away F6, Uchiha Madara glared at him with his nose.
"The courage of a common man is not desirable."

Senju Tobirama knew very well that all of them combined were no match for the immortal clone. Rather than being trapped in a situation where they were sure to die, it was better for them to protect themselves and survive.

"None of you can escape."

As the two were arguing, the clone's voice came from above, and the arms behind the Buddha grew wildly, and a huge shadow enveloped the entire sky.
That's too late!

Seeing countless fists like a mountain about to fall, Senju Tobirama, who had not yet found the coordinates, felt his heart sink.
It doesn't matter if he dies here, but if the F6 are gone, how will he explain to the people in the village? These are the future of the ninja clan.

Especially Jing. If Jing died here, that curly-haired guy would take his life. Even if he escaped death, there would be no place for him in the entire Konoha.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, a white figure blocked their way. Senju Tobirama widened his eyes in surprise, looking at Uchiha Madara who took off the driver from his waist, with big question marks in his mind.

"You don't want your life?"

Uchiha Madara is protected by knight armor and has a high probability of withstanding this attack. But now the opponent actually throws away the last life-saving talisman. Does he really not want to live?
"Only magic can defeat magic."

Uchiha Madara, who had just untransformed, did not show any sign of panic when faced with the overwhelming punches. Instead, he made a surprising move under the gaze of everyone.

Hands together,

"you?"

Seeing this familiar action, Senju Tobirama's brain crashed instantly. Could it be that this evil Uchiha Lao Deng had learned...
"Wood Release: The Technique of Ranking."

A rich breath of life surged out of Uchiha Madara's body, and the green power of wood escape poured onto the ground. A wooden shield shaped like a fanged ghost face rose from the ground, tightly wrapping everyone. The next second after everything went black, everyone could hear a continuous stream of explosions.

"Rumble--"

About ten minutes later, the sound of the explosion gradually faded away, and the wooden shields above everyone's heads also dissipated.
The few people who saw the light of day again looked down at the isolated island with themselves as the center, then looked up at the huge deep pits that were smashed around them, and swallowed their saliva in unison.
“Is this really something a human can do?”

However, compared to being surprised by the terrifying attack power of the Buddha, Senju Tobirama was more concerned about something else.
"Where did you learn Wood Release from?!"

"Learning by stealing? I am the Hokage, but I don't even have the qualifications to read the Book of Sealing?"

Uchiha Madara admired the jealous expression of Senju Tobirama at this moment, and felt extremely satisfied.

"No, how did you awaken Wood Release!?"

Realizing that the question he asked was wrong, Senju Tobirama quickly changed his words.
"You're an Uchiha! Answer me!"

He couldn't believe that a person who had nothing to do with the Uchiha clan could awaken his eldest brother's unique bloodline, even though he didn't have it.

"Who stipulated that only you, the Senju, can awaken Wood Release? Compared to the Senju, we Uchiha should be called the Wood Release Family."

Looking at the jumping Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara curled his lips, and the scene of Uchiha Gin performing Wood Release appeared in his mind.

【2＞1】

We Uchiha are the orthodox Wood Release bloodline family.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I'm just afraid that after you know the truth, you will start to doubt your life."

"What truth?"

Uchiha Madara turned his head back. Seeing this, Senju Tobirama was about to continue asking questions, but the other party jumped first.
"I'll tell you when we get back. Don't be surprised then."

"Wood Style: Super Giant Woodman Technique!"

Rumbling--

A gigantic arhat with a similar appearance to the wooden figure of Hashirama Senju rose from the ground, and his body rapidly expanded under the power of Uchiha Madara's wood escape technique. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to the height of the wooden Buddha.

"Huhu."

Uchiha Madara, panting slightly, stood on top of the giant wooden man, with seductive patterns flashing with an obscure light in his scarlet eyes.
Sure enough, Wood Release can also be amplified.

"what?"

In the void a hundred meters away from the battlefield, a puzzled voice was heard from a dark red portal, as if the voice was surprised by Uchiha Madara's unexpected behavior.

"Wow!"

Senju Tobirama and others who witnessed this scene almost popped their eyes out. They would never have thought that Uchiha Madara not only knew Wood Release, but could also summon a super-giant wooden man whose size was comparable to that of the Immortal Buddha.

"The power of the kaleidoscope."

Having fought with the Uchiha brothers for many years, Senju Tobirama had naturally analyzed the ability of the other party's Mangekyō.
Back in the day, when Uchiha Madara was still an ordinary Mangekyo, he could forcibly activate the completed Susanoo and fight his elder brother's wooden man to a standstill.

The ninjutsu that he casually releases is several times or even dozens of times more powerful than that of an ordinary ninja.

Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō pupil technique most likely has the magical ability to amplify escape techniques.

"But."

After the surprise, a new round of worries followed. Uchiha Madara's giant wooden man could indeed rival the Immortal Buddha in size, but the power of the two was incomparable.

The big Buddha has the amplification of fairy chakra, and the thousands of arms behind it are not for decoration. Once the Buddha on the top appears, no matter how strong Uchiha Madara's wooden man is, it cannot escape the fate of being beaten into sawdust.

"You fake, are you ready to accept my wrath?"

Standing on top of the wooden man, Uchiha Madara's eyes were filled with tangible anger. He was determined to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and rescue Hasila Mama.

“I’m not a fake.”

Being called a fake by Uchiha Madara time and again, Clone No. 9's emotions fluctuated a little, and his expressionless face was now filled with a hint of anger.
"I am human!"

"Crush him for me!"

In a rage, the clone controlled the Great Buddha of Immortal and pressed towards Uchiha Madara's wooden man, with an aggressive momentum as if he wanted to eat him.

"Who is afraid of whom?"

Uchiha Madara was undoubtedly confident. He never thought that his proud Mangekyō Sharingan would be worse than Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode.

The pattern in his pupils changed, and the giant wooden man at his feet waved his fist and rushed forward.

"Boom!—"

The collision of the two behemoths created a visible air wave in the sky above the battlefield, and the huge sound was deafening, so that even people in the small town hundreds of miles away could hear it clearly.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

The hand-to-hand combat between the Sky Giants caused a heavy rain of wood in parts of the Fire Country. Senju Tobirama and his disciples hid under shelter, the surprise in his eyes lingered for a long time.

Since Uchiha Madara's giant wooden man had no burden behind him, he could move more flexibly, so he quickly gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat.

"Roar!"

A pair of wooden fists were waving vigorously, and the wooden dragon wrapped around his body would occasionally attack with its black mouth, tearing off several arms behind the Immortal Buddha.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage due to his limited mobility, Clone No. 9 frowned and poured all the refined chakra into the Great Buddha of Immortal Law under his feet.
"Become a Buddha on top."

"Boom!"

The Immortal Buddha suddenly stood up, and the thousands of arms behind him separated from his body. His size also expanded, and he smashed towards Uchiha Madara's giant wooden man.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Senju Tobirama's heart tightened. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

The Buddha on the eldest brother's head is an extremely powerful secret technique that can raze a country to the ground in an instant. Although Uchiha Madara's super-giant wooden man is strong, it cannot withstand the baptism of so many hands.

"Human, I can lend you a helping hand!"

At this critical moment, the Nine-Tails, who was captured by Uchiha Madara, suppressed his inner fear and trembled as he spoke,

It had been beaten by this move before and had a deep impression on it, but now its life and death were at stake and it couldn't just sit back and watch.

Uchiha Madara snorted, a dazzling red light burst out of his eyes, and a blue shadow emerged.

"Humph! No matter how hard a fist is, it is afraid of a knife." (End of this chapter)
