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

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

Scarlet blood beads slid down Senju Tobirama's pale cheeks and finally fell on the wet ground. The pair of eyes blurred by blood revealed a hint of death.

He raised his head and looked at the seven knights of different shapes and sizes in front of him. He forced himself to stand up again, his hunched body full of weakness.

"White Hair, take them and run away."

A white figure blocked his vision, raised his hand, and stopped him behind him.

"I should have said that I would cover the retreat."

Senju Tobirama frowned. He had never seen Uchiha in such a mess.
The armor he was so proud of was covered with scars, and the repair progress could not keep up with the speed of damage. The spotless cloak also became tattered and drooped limply.

"This is an order, I am the Hokage!"

Uchiha Madara replied calmly with a classic quote, his visor was already half missing when he turned his head away, his scarlet eyeballs exuding a cold power were filled with determination.

"Teacher, we can still fight."

During the conversation between the two, six embarrassed figures came over. The F6 who were still high-spirited half a day ago were now covered in wounds.

Among them, Uchiha Kagami was unable to maintain his Sharingan and could only lean on the uniquely shaped scarlet sword with both hands, but there was no sign of retreat on his face.

"Hokage-sama, teacher, let us cover your retreat."

The fine iron armor that Sarutobi Hiruzen had put on before going out had already been shattered, and his unprotected upper body was hit by the burning magma of No. 4, and his entire chest was charred.

If it wasn't for Koharu Tenne who treated him in time, he would have died on the spot.
"Just you guys. Stop kidding."

Uchiha Madara glanced at the defeated F6, shook his head slightly, and then turned his gaze to the seven alien knights who were approaching step by step, and clenched his fists subconsciously.
I'm sorry, Izuna, I may have to break my promise this time.

"It's my fault. I underestimated the enemy's strength."

Senju Tobirama straightened his back, took a step forward and stood beside Uchiha Madara. Until now, several people were in prison because of his wrong decision.

"I'm not as skilled as others, there's nothing much to say."

On the contrary, Uchiha Madara was open-minded and generously admitted his shortcomings. As he spoke, burning chakra rose from his body again, and the armor that had just been broken became brand new again.
"Your body."

Seeing this scene, Senju Tobirama frowned slightly. In such a high-intensity battle, even if Uchiha Madara had the assistance of the Nine-Tails Chakra, his own physical strength should have been exhausted to the limit long ago.

Indeed, chakra can support ninjas to fight for a long time to the maximum extent, just like the decisive battle before the establishment of Konoha, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fought for several days and nights before they were exhausted.

But that battle was not comparable to the current one. The intensity of 1V1 and 1V7 did not double, but increased exponentially.

In Senju Tobirama's opinion, the reason why Uchiha Madara has not fallen until now is most likely due to his father who died early and asked people for help.

"I feel great and I can spend the whole day with them."

There was no weakness in Uchiha Madara's tone as Senju Tobirama had imagined, but instead it was full of energy, which made people wonder if he had secretly taken drugs.

Where no one can see, a blue necklace in the shape of a sharp claw is quietly hanging on Uchiha Madara's neck.

[Dragon Claw]: Gain 9% of maximum health and 5 health points every two days.

ps: 1 health point = 1 day's vitality.

It is because of the support of extra vitality that Uchiha Madara can be in full firepower at any time and anywhere.

Then again, how could Uchiha Gin have such a good thing as the Dragon Fang all to himself? Naturally, each of his blood relatives who had a good relationship with him would get one.
When he gave it to them, he claimed that it was a newly developed health product that he had developed, and that carrying it for a long time would have the miraculous effect of prolonging life. However, Uchiha Madara and the others just took it as a joke, but they did not refuse it.

Uchiha Tajima asked a few more questions, and Uchiha Gin had to explain that he had discovered some kind of magical ore. The uncle nodded in sudden realization and exclaimed that his nephew was lucky.

As a well-informed veteran of the Warring States Period, he had naturally heard the legend of a magical mineral that was rich in vitality.

However, when Uchiha Gin was testing the Dragon Fang, he discovered that this item had a drawback.
For those who have not practiced the Yin Seal, the health value increased by the Dragon Fang can only extend the lifespan of the carrier to the maximum extent, while the aging of body functions is irreversible.

Even if Uchiha Madara lived to be 100 years old, he would still be energetic and clear-headed, but his body could not escape the ravages of time.

So, Yin Fengyin is the MVP~
"Focus, they're coming again!"

Senju Tobirama, who was still wondering if Uchiha Madara was holding on, suddenly saw the figures of several alien knights disappearing from the spot. He immediately shouted and quickly retreated with F6.
Uchiha Madara did not retreat like them, but instead picked up his spear and faced the challenge.

"Bah!"

The two red and white spear blades collided with each other, and the impact caused by the collision rolled up a half-man-high air wave. Uchiha Madara stared at the alien knight in front of him who was very similar to himself, and couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
In the previous several battles, he found that this alien knight transformed from a clone would make a significant leap forward in every battle after the first fight.
The moves in his hands became more and more methodical, and his control over his own strength became more and more skillful.
The same situation also occurred to several other clones, which made him feel more stressed. Even with the help from Senju Tobirama and others, he was still unable to cope with it alone.

So much so that in the end, he could no longer move with ease as before, and his body was covered with countless wounds.

If he was like this, then the people like Senju Tobirama who were much weaker than him were even more miserable. For some reason, the clones No. 2 and No. 8 kept beating up the white-haired man. The two chased the eight people around in circles.
Although the strength of F6 is considered top-notch among ninjas, it is insignificant in front of clones. If it weren't for the existence of Senju Tobirama, who has rich combat experience, these guys would probably have reported to the Pure Land at the beginning.

"what!"

A scream from behind brought Uchiha Madara back to reality.

While wrestling, he caught a glimpse of F6 being teased by the half-human, half-beast clone No. . He immediately swung hard and flew backwards.
"Jie Jie"

Clone No. 6, who had cornered the F, let out a strange laugh from under the tiger mask, and raised the claws on the back of his hands high, ready to send the others to their deaths.
"You dare!"

Senju Tobirama, who was being chased by the purple minotaur, saw this scene and yelled with his eyes wide open. However, he temporarily lost the Flying Thunder God Technique and could only quickly form hand seals and try to save the situation with his own escape technique.

"Buzz~"

But how could Clone No. 8 let him have his way? The huge chainsaw in his hand burst into bursts of lightning, and smashed towards Senju Tobirama's head with unstoppable force.
"hateful."

Seeing this, Senju Tobirama had to give up releasing Ninjutsu and instead threw out a shuriken, trying to delay the attack of Clone No. 2.
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh——

But the effect is hard to judge. The opponent simply ignored the hidden weapon that attacked him and slashed down fiercely with his sharp claws that were emitting cold light.
Dying?

Uchiha Jing, who was standing in the front in F6, had a bitter smile on his face. He was indeed not the protagonist in Uncle Yin's story. He was just a background board mentioned briefly in history books.

“Bang!——”

Just as Jingzi closed his eyes and waited for death, a red and white gun blade blocked his curly hair less than ten centimeters away. He opened his eyes in confusion, and a white fox tail cape fluttered in front of him.

"Cousin!"

Jing Zai, who had just returned from the brink of death, looked at the figure standing in front of him with excitement, and even forgot the usual respectful titles.

"You will die if you dare to touch Konoha's young plants!"

boom--

A blue shadow appeared on Uchiha Madara's body, and the short gun blade in his hand was instantly covered with a blue blade. The terrifying force pushed No. 2 back repeatedly, "Crack."

There was a crisp snapping sound, and the claws of the second clone finally couldn't bear the burden and turned into pieces under the attack of Uchiha Madara's Susanoo power.

"Wow!"

The blue blade slashed across No. 2's body from top to bottom as he was unable to dodge, instantly splitting him in two. Blood began to spurt from the forehead of the corpse, which shook a few times before falling to the left and right.

"Bata~"

The armor covering his entire body faded away like the tide, and finally turned into a broken dial that fell on the hideous body of No. 2. After a few seconds, it disappeared with the wind, as if it had never existed.

"Crack!"

Cixian didn't even look at the broken wine glass in her hand, letting the bright red wine drip onto herself.

Staring closely at the second clone being slaughtered by Uchiha Madara, his eyes that ignored everything finally showed a rare anger.

"Good! Good!"

Losing a clone that didn't have the power of the tailed beast was still within his tolerance range. It would only take some time and money to cultivate another one.
But the clones that have acquired the power of the tailed beasts are different.

Each clone has its own wedge planted by Jigen at birth. Usually, these wedges are in an inactive state.
Once the power of the tailed beast is absorbed, the wedge will be activated and begin to decompress his original power. As long as the clone grows fast enough, the thawing speed of the wedge will be accelerated, and the progress of his reincarnation will also be accelerated.

Therefore, every clone of the activated wedge is invaluable to Jigen.

"Concentrate all your strength and take down that Nine-Tailed Knight!"

The exasperated Jigen issued the highest order in the minds of all the clones. The figure of No. 8, who was chasing his prey, paused. Senju Tobirama took the opportunity to teleport and landed next to Uchiha Madara.
"Thank you."

Looking at the F6 who survived the disaster, Senju Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Uchiha Madara very sincerely.
"To protect Konoha with one's life, this is the mission of the Hokage."

Shaking off the blood on the gun blade, Uchiha Madara said calmly, and rushed towards the clones gathered together without looking back.

After hearing Uchiha Madara's brief but heart-stirring words, Senju Tobirama looked at Uchiha Madara's fearless back for the first time with the same eyes that he once admired for his elder brother.
At this moment, the figures of the two generations of Hokage overlapped in his mind.

"Is this your Will of Fire?"

Senju Tobirama muttered absentmindedly, and the embarrassed F6 behind him interrupted his thoughts at an inopportune time.

"Teacher, how can we support Hokage-sama?"

Uchiha Jing came closer with the Bloodthirsty Sword. Having escaped death, he had no intention of retreating, and his eyes were still shining with the will to fight to the death.
"support?"

Glancing at the dejected disciples, Senju Tobirama shook his head imperceptibly, recalling Uchiha Madara's brave and fearless spirit. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and called F6 to him.

"We are outnumbered by the enemy now, this is not the time to talk about support."

"?"

The F6 were stunned. Are they really going to leave the Hokage alone to fight the enemy?
"Now I need two people to act as bait to help me attract the enemy's attention."

"I'll do it!"*2
"I"

Looking at Jingzai and Hiruzen who started with zero frames, Danzo, who had completed 0.01 seconds, instantly turned pale, but he still raised his hand.

"I also."

"Okay, that's enough people."

Senju Tobirama glanced at Danzo, shook his head slightly, and then turned his gaze to the determined faces of Jingzi and the other man.

"Are you two prepared to die?"

Staying here as bait was basically a dead end. Uchiha Kagami and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other, neither of them saw the slightest sign of fear in the other's eyes.

If you are born as a ninja, you must be prepared to die at any time.

"Always be prepared!"*2
"no!"

Rejected, Danzo stood up abruptly, staring at Senju Tobirama with eagle-like eyes.

"We, F6, are a group. We don't ask to be born on the same day and year."

As if infected by Danzo's momentum, Akimichi Toukaze also stood up, his mountain-like body carrying an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.

"I only wish to die on the same day of the same month of the same year!"

"That's right, Jing, if you two want to show off, don't forget me."

Mitomon Yan pushed up his glasses and smiled what he thought was a handsome smile.
"Yin Sansan once said that the nurse will go before the army moves. How can you not bring me with you when you fight in a group?"

As the most beautiful girl in F6, Utane Koharu successfully broke free from the shackles of fear with the help of her friends and stood together with everyone with a smile.

"A few of you."

Seeing this scene, Tobirama Senju fell silent. He had wanted to use this test to pick out a few future successors of Konoha's Will of Fire from F6.
But now it seems that he was too narrow-minded.

Each of these disciples is a worthy successor, but Konoha only has two leadership positions, so they can only choose the tallest one among the short ones.

Glancing at the determined faces of his disciples, Tobirama Senju, who had already made up his mind, raised his hand and pointed at the two most outstanding ones.
"Huruzen, Kagami, the future of Konoha is in the hands of you two."

ha?
When Danzo first heard this, he didn't feel anything, but after seeing the trusting look on Senju Tobirama's face, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had missed something important.

"Of course, you guys should also assist them."

Rumbling--

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Madara flew backwards and landed beside a few people. He angrily looked at the few people who were still lingering there.
"Ah? Why haven't you left yet?"

“Well, we think”

"Don't even think about it, just leave now and don't drag me down by staying here."

Uchiha Madara stood up and looked at the clones with a gleam in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, he took off the driver from his waist and threw it to the confused Senju Tobirama along with the Tailed Beast Card.

"This thing is hindering my performance. Please keep it for me first."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black double-edged axe and a brown giant hammer covered with spikes from the ninja tool bag behind him, and rushed towards the clones with a fierce smile.

"Are you ready to dance?" (End of this chapter)
