"It's not that simple, Hashirama!"
Madara wasn't annoyed that Hashirama had preempted the expected sudden burst of power. He simply smiled with deep satisfaction, then increased his chakra output and created more than a dozen Susanoo clones to intercept Hashirama's wood clones.
Hashirama's Myojinmon Sage Art has extremely strong sealing and suppressive power, capable of sealing the chakra of tailed beasts for a short time. However, Madara was prepared for this. He controlled the Complete Body Susanoo and suddenly unleashed a strong burst of chakra. At the same time, the struggle of the Gedo Mazo also increased significantly, and the two torii gates showed signs of breaking in an instant.
"There's no other way, Madara. Your strength has indeed increased a lot. Let's try this. I didn't want to use it on you again."
Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!
As the pillar formed hand seals and cast the spell, the earth trembled and churned like waves. Then, a colossal wooden Buddha statue, nearly a thousand meters tall, rose from the ground, shaking the entire world.
The Buddha statue was as majestic as a mountain, with a thousand hands, and its enormous eyes stared intently at Uchiha Madara as if judging a rebellious demon.
"Hahaha, Hashirama, you still don't know my true power!"
As Madara laughed wildly, his chakra poured out like a flood, and Hashirama's Myojin Gate shattered completely.
Then, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path swiftly stepped forward to confront the Thousand-Armed Buddha. The Complete Susanoo also quickly merged with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, transforming into a suit of armor that covered it. In an instant, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was clad in armor and carried weapons. Combined with its ferocious and terrifying appearance and exaggerated height, it looked as if a true demonic god had descended upon the world.
"Then let me test your current power!"
Seeing the Gedo Mazo Hashirama opposite him, his fighting spirit surged. He and Madara exchanged a glance and continued shouting at each other.
"Madara!"
"Hasilama!"
Rumble
Amidst the shouts of Hashirama and Madara, the Gedo Mazo and the Thousand-Armed Buddha collided violently, unleashing a deafening sonic boom. The violent impact reverberated across the surrounding area, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The shockwave that escaped directly blew away the remaining trees around it, and the ground dust and mud that were affected by the shockwave exploded in all directions like bombs.
Even several kilometers away, the Allied Shinobi Forces could still feel the ground trembling like waves. The terrifying threat of this cataclysmic event made them feel as if they had fallen into a dream, and for a moment they forgot to continue searching for and besieging the White Zetsu.
Some ninjas were so terrified by this utterly irresistible power that they trembled in fear. They knew that even watching a battle of this magnitude risked their lives, let alone participating. Many felt that witnessing such a fight was a stroke of luck, and if they survived, this experience would be something they could boast about for the rest of their lives.
Out of pride and other considerations, Madara suppressed the Gedo Mazo, limiting its power to only slightly above Hashirama's Wood Release: Wood Release. However, with the assistance of the Complete Susanoo and the inherent strength of the Gedo Mazo, the combined power of this combination far surpassed the Beast Tribulation of yesteryear.
For a time, the two sides were evenly matched, and Hashirama and Madara seemed to have rediscovered their old feelings in this thrilling battle, constantly exchanging words.
"Hashirama, are you no longer capable? How can such strength stop my will to create a peaceful world!"
"Ban, your strength has indeed improved, but I will not give up. I will definitely stop you from sinking deeper and deeper into the wrong path!"
At this point in the battle, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were focused solely on each other, completely disregarding the other Edo Tensei bodies and even the Allied Shinobi Forces who were watching from the sidelines.
And then there's the unfortunate Tobirama Senju, who has been accidentally injured countless times by the aftershocks of the attacks from the Thousand-Armed Buddha and the Gedo Mazo, but his dear older brother just doesn't notice.
Or perhaps Hashirama noticed, but thought that since his younger brother was an Edo Tensei anyway, it didn't matter anymore; what was more important now was to stop Madara.
"Stop being so stubborn, Madara!"
While increasing his chakra output to make the Thousand-Armed Buddha attack faster and more fiercely, Hashirama tried his best to persuade his friend.
"Neither the reign of terror you once sought to implement, nor the illusionary peace you now attempt to achieve, is likely to fail."
No one will accept this kind of peace!
Rumble
Rumble
As they spoke, the Thousand-Handed Buddha and the heretical demon statue continued to clash with each other. Each collision caused damage to the surrounding scenery, and everything collapsed, making it look like the end of the world.
"Hahaha, I don't need their approval. All I need is to achieve peace, Hashirama!"
While responding with maniacal laughter, Madara also increased his chakra output, and the Gedo Mazo's power increased slightly, gradually showing signs of overpowering the Thousand-Armed Buddha.
"You're wrong, Madara. Only love and mutual understanding are the true paths to peace!"
Hashirama further increased his chakra output to enhance the power of the Thousand-Armed Buddha, while also loudly persuading and trying to influence Madara Uchiha.
Of course, while Hashirama was trying to persuade Madara, the towering Thousand-Armed Buddha never stopped moving. His giant Buddha hands continued to attack, each strike possessing the power to shatter mountains.
Occasionally, when the giant hand misses its target and lands on the ground, it can cause the earth to tremble and shatter, creating a crater with a diameter of more than ten meters.
Hashirama tried to influence Madara Uchiha with "love," but judging from the earth-shaking scene and Madara's eyes, it was clear that Hashirama's love was too heavy for Madara to bear.
After increasing his chakra output, the Thousand-Armed Buddha gradually turned the tide and once again engaged the Gedo Mazo in battle. Hashirama, meanwhile, continued to excitedly shout towards Madara.
"Hahahaha, Madara, can you feel my will? Love, only love can bring peace!"
Immersed in the excitement of saving his best friend and the exhilarating battle, Hashirama Senju didn't stop at all, laughing and shouting wildly without a care in the world, completely unaware of the strange gazes of the people around him shifting back and forth between him and Madara Uchiha.
"I say, at this scale of battle, it seems like we're not needed?"
"That's right, with them fighting like this, there's no way we can intervene even if we wanted to!"
Seeing that they had no chance to make a move, the Edo Tensei spectators started discussing among themselves. After a few words, Rasa steered the conversation toward Minato Namikaze.
"At this point, only your Flying Thunder God Technique, Fourth Hokage, should be able to break through, right?"
"Ah, hahaha, the First Generation's fighting skills are too amazing. I'm afraid my Flying Thunder God Technique can't even get past a kunai."
Minato, who was intently watching the battle, was suddenly called on and instinctively scratched his head to answer. The strong gusts of wind from the repeated impacts over there could still deflect ninja tools, so how could he easily throw his kunai over there?
Just then, Kakashi and Naruto's voices suddenly rang out from behind them, "We're back."
