Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

far away.

Granny Chiyo, Yoru Kura, and Mei Terumi watched the battle between Madara and Hashirama from afar.

The battle between Susanoo and the wooden golem was not something they could watch from afar; they could only stay far away and were not even qualified to assist Hashirama in the battle.

"Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Heaven truly favors the Land of Fire, for these two legendary figures were born at the same time!"

Grandma Chiyo sighed.

It is said that Hashirama is the God of Shinobi, and Madara is the Asura of the Shinobi World. Their power has surpassed the scope that ninjas can understand.

I never had a concrete impression of these descriptions before, but now I have a deep impression of them.

The impression was so profound that they would probably never forget Madara and Hashirama's power for the rest of their lives.

Mei Terumi chimed in, "Heaven truly loves the Land of Fire, but it has not treated us unfairly either."

"If the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha hadn't broken ties, they probably wouldn't have given us a chance to breathe."

All the non-Konoha ninjas nodded in agreement; Mei Terumi was right.

The Uchiha and Senju clans are the two most powerful ninja clans in the ninja world, ranking first and second respectively.

In the past, if a country employed the Uchiha, its rival country would employ the Senju.

The two clans monopolized the most central mission resources on the Ninja Continent.

That was during the Warring States period. Ninjas fought for whoever paid them the most, and they weren't yet deeply tied to any state.

But when the ninja village era came, clues were discovered, because Konoha, with its Senju and Uchiha clans, had a commanding lead, making it impossible for other countries to compete.

Fortunately, Hashirama and Madara broke off their relationship, and the Senju clan was constantly on guard against the Uchiha clan.

This gave the other five great ninja nations a chance to breathe. If Hashirama and Madara were still alive, the Third Shinobi World War would never have happened.

This is the oppressive feeling brought by Madara and Hashirama.

The ninjas of the Konoha faction, such as Hizashi, Shinnosuke, and Shinku, are all very regrettable.

Perhaps the alliance between the Senju and Uchiha clans was a mistake from the start.

How could they, who have been fighting for thousands of years, possibly put aside their bloodline conflicts under Hashirama's will?

Only when one side dies will the other side be appeased.

Suddenly, Yekura's somewhat urgent voice rang in Granny Chiyo's ears: "Granny, look! That bastard Uchiha Ryou's Susanoo is the same size as Madara's!"

Everyone looked in the direction Yekura pointed and saw a black chakra giant that was comparable to Madara's Susanoo and Hashirama's Wood Golem.

Hiashi was shocked: "Ryou-senpai's eye power is already on par with Madara's!!"

Granny Chiyo and Yekura both looked grim, as they were still being threatened by Liaowu.

The stronger the fire element, the less chance they have of escaping it.

The other ninjas looked even uglier.

They couldn't even harm Madara in the slightest, and now there's another one with the same eye power as Madara, Liao Wu.

They won't have another Hashirama Senju!

Madara and Hashirama each controlled the giants they summoned to fight. Madara fought with ease, and Hashirama, whom Madara once took seriously, was no longer his match.

Madara could have killed Hashirama instantly if he wanted to, but he didn't!

Since his resurrection, Madara has yet to encounter an opponent who gets his blood pumping.

Hashirama is the only person who can make him take things seriously.

Madara should thoroughly enjoy the battle with Hashirama.

Because he had absolute confidence, Ban spared some attention to look at Liao Wu, observing just how strong Liao Wu had become.

That brat is inherently rebellious. If he becomes stronger than me, he'll definitely cause a family feud and try to steal my retirement money.

Madara was not surprised to see Liao Wu activate the complete Susanoo. Liao Wu had gained his enormous ocular power after merging with his cells.

With just three tomoe, one can transcend the two Mangekyou Sharingan exclusive eye techniques and directly activate the Uchiha's third power—Susanoo!

Now that Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan has been activated and his eye power has increased significantly, it's not particularly surprising that he can activate the complete Susanoo.

Furthermore, Liao Wu also possesses Hashirama's cells, which can replenish the power of the Kaleidoscope, thus preventing Liao Wu from becoming nearsighted due to overuse of the Kaleidoscope's power.

Just like Obito, because he has Hashirama cells in his body, he can use Kamui without limit.

Hashirama followed Madara's gaze and said, "Madara, you must be very pleased to have such an outstanding grandson, right?"

Spotted Hair: "Yeah, I doubt even you could beat Liao Wu now!"

Hashirama nodded: "Indeed, I had already completely lost to him back in Ryuchi Cave. But I'm very gratified; we seniors should be the ones who surpass the juniors."

"Only in this way can we hand over the responsibilities of our time to them!"

"Wait—what the hell?!"

Madara was a little confused. He was just making a casual comment, using Ryou's complete Susanoo to tell Hashirama that they were no longer on the same level.

If Hashirama couldn't even defeat Ryūgoku, then he certainly couldn't defeat Madara.

However, according to Hashirama, Ryougo and Hashirama seemed to have had a fierce battle back in Ryuchi Cave.

Hashirama lost again!

What's going on?!

Can you defeat the Thousand-Armed Buddha with just sage techniques and an incomplete Susanoo?

Hashirama glanced at Madara with surprise; Madara seemed quite astonished that Ryougo could defeat him.

Hashirama nodded: "Yes, Madara, Ryougo defeated me in Ryuchi Cave!"

"He possesses Wood Release, Sage Mode from Ryuchi Cave, and the same Mangekyou Sharingan as you. Most importantly, his Mangekyou Sharingan techniques are far more powerful than yours!"

Madara's Rinnegan widened: "What?! That brat awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in Ryuchi Cave?!"

Madara, Minato, and Danzo all believed that Ryougo activated Susanoo after witnessing Jiraiya's death.

Although it wasn't as Ban wished, Liao Wu still gained power through loss.

However, Hashirama told Madara that Ryougo activated the Kaleidoscope in Ryuchi Cave.

Madara was getting impatient: "Hashirama, tell me quickly, how did that brat awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Hashirama looked at Madara, who seemed somewhat vulnerable, and it seemed that how Ryougo activated the Kaleidoscope was very important to Madara.

Hashirama told Madara, "It was a Sage Art Trial. The White Serpent Sage injected natural energy into Ryogoku's body and used Sage Art to cast an illusion on him that directly confronted his inner fears."

"I wonder what Liao Wu went through in his inner world? After he came out, he had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and learned the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave."

"Illusion?!"

Madara's expression turned grim: "You got that brat to activate his Kaleidoscope Sharingan just by using genjutsu?!"

Hashirama explained, "That wasn't an ordinary illusion. I suspect that the illusion the White Serpent Sage used on Ryou was an extremely profound one, much like your Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"Perhaps the White Snake Immortal sealed Liao Wu's memories, causing Liao Wu to live in the illusion world for a long time, and then experience extremely desperate things."

"That's how Liao Wu unlocks his kaleidoscope!"

Hashirama was right. If it weren't for the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Ryo would probably have lived his whole life in the illusionary world of the White Snake Sage.

He could no longer distinguish whether that world was the real world or not.

But Liao Wu still treated that world as the real world.

This is the principle of "I think, therefore I am"—conscious thought is the sole proof of one's own existence.

Everything in the world, external objects, the body, and what the senses perceive may be false, an illusion, or a deception.

Just like in reality, many religious believers still stubbornly believe that the world was created by God.

There is no way to prove that He exists, nor is there any way to prove that He does not exist.

Perhaps the existence of humankind is merely a microcosm of one person's thinking, because on the scale of the universe, human history is not even comparable to a speck of dust.

The world may be an existence created from a higher dimension.

Reality may be an experiment, like The Truman Show.

What truly determines your existence is my thinking, therefore I exist.

I can doubt everything, but there's one thing I can't doubt—that the "me" who is doubting and thinking must truly exist.
