Madara Uchiha was taken aback when he saw Mikoto Uchiha being so close to Yo Uchiha. Then, an uncontrollable surge of joy welled up in his eyes.

He nodded repeatedly, his gaze towards Uchiha Yao filled with approval and admiration:

"Excellent! Excellent! As expected of a descendant of my Uchiha clan! Good taste! Excellent strength! Even your partner has such good taste!"

He grew increasingly smug as he spoke, and couldn't help but glance at Tobirama Senju, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm:

"Tobirama Senju, look at this! My Uchiha junior not only became Hokage, but also has a partner with the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Both husband and wife are powerful Kaleidoscope users! What makes you, the Senju clan, compare?

Tobirama Senju's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Spurred on by the strength of their juniors, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha finally abandoned their carefree attitude. They exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

"That's about enough." Hashirama Senju spoke slowly, his natural naivety disappearing somewhat, replaced by the composure and majesty of the "God of Shinobi." "Continuing like this is just a waste of time."

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, remaining silent, but the fluctuations of chakra around his body began to rise rapidly. The intensity of that chakra far surpassed that of the tailed beasts, as if an ancient, slumbering behemoth was slowly opening its eyes.

The two exerted their power simultaneously, and the chakra within their bodies erupted like a volcano, instantly sweeping across the entire venue with that terrifying pressure!

All the ninjas, whether from Konoha or other villages, felt a tremor from the depths of their souls under this oppressive force. Some of the weaker genin even collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way. Onoki, whose body was suspended in mid-air, involuntarily descended a few inches, his face filled with horror and despair.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha – even in their Edo Tensei state, even if their strength couldn't reach the peak level they were at before their birth, they still stood at the top of the ninja world's pyramid.

Seeing that the older generation of powerful figures were about to launch a full-scale war, Tsunade finally stopped holding back.


"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

She slammed both hands onto the ground!

Rumble—!!!

The entire platform began to tremble violently. Countless thick vines and trees burst forth from the cracks in the ground, growing, spreading, and intertwining at an astonishing rate. As if they possessed a life of their own, they swept towards Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, forming a dense primeval forest!

The entire venue was deathly silent.

All the Konoha ninja stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

Wood Release.

That was the bloodline limit unique to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, which had been lost for decades. It was the power that once pacified the chaotic world, suppressed the tailed beasts, and was hailed as the symbol of the "God of Shinobi."

Now, it has reappeared in the world in Tsunade's hands!

Hashirama Senju, seeing the Wood Release technique rushing towards him, was initially stunned, then his eyes blazed with immense joy. He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Good! Good! I never imagined that the Wood Release of my Senju clan would be reawakened in your generation! Tsunade! You truly have lived up to the name of the Senju!"

He also formed hand seals and activated Wood Release to meet Tsunade's Advent of the Tree World!

Two generations of Wood Release, clashing head-on!

Countless thick vines and trees intertwined, coiled, and strangled in mid-air, emitting a teeth-grinding creak. The ground cracked continuously as the two forces clashed, sending debris flying and dust billowing. Two Wood Release chakras, originating from the same source yet each possessing its own unique characteristics, unfolded in a breathtaking contest on this high platform.

Ōnoki hovered in mid-air, watching the scene before him, his last glimmer of hope shattered.

Konoha possesses both the Mangekyou Sharingan and top-tier Wood Release, and these two elite bloodlines have perfectly merged and coexist in this generation. He had originally hoped to exploit the historical grudges between the Senju and Uchiha clans to sow discord within Konoha and profit from it. But now it seems that's impossible.

While manipulating his Wood Release techniques to clash with Tsunade, Hashirama Senju turned around and shouted to Yo Uchiha, "Hey! Uchiha brat! You better treat Tsunade well! If I find out you've bullied her, even if I'm in Edo Tensei form, I'll crawl back from the underworld to settle the score with you!"

Uchiha Yao stood at the edge of the battlefield, looking at the chaotic yet strangely warm scene before him, a slight smile curving his lips.

He slowly raised his hand, his gaze becoming deep and sharp.

"It's time... for this to end."

Hashirama and Madara stand side by side again after a century.

Without words or eye contact, a single synchronized breath was enough for the two to understand each other's intentions. It was a tacit understanding honed through their shared founding of Konoha, their joint efforts to quell the chaos of the world, and their encounters with countless powerful enemies. Even after decades of life-and-death struggles and conflicts, that understanding remained etched deep within their souls.

Madara raised his hand, formed hand seals, and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

A raging inferno erupted from his mouth like a tsunami, the heat so intense that the air itself began to distort, and waves of heat swept across the entire arena. Wherever the flames passed, the stone slabs on the ground glowed red-hot, softened, and even began to melt. This was no ordinary fire technique; it was a catastrophic attack capable of incinerating an entire city.

Uchiha Yao and Tsunade simultaneously formed hand seals, their shared Fire Release chakra flowing within them, before unleashing a devastating attack: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

The same ninjutsu, the same power—three towering flames collided violently in mid-air!

"boom--!!!"

The seas of fire collided and exploded, bursting forth with blinding white light. Heat waves, like tangible shockwaves, swept outwards, blowing away the remaining rubble and debris on the platform. The sky was dyed crimson, as if the sunset had arrived prematurely.

At this moment, Uchiha Yao finally stopped holding back.

His eyes transformed in an instant. Deep within those originally jet-black eyes, four colors of light shone simultaneously—blood red, azure blue, golden yellow, and pure white. The four colors intertwined and swirled in his pupils, eventually coalescing into a form that surpassed the Rinnegan and the Sharingan, seemingly containing the mysteries of the universe's birth and death.

The Sharingan of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He gently raised his hand.

Without hand seals or incantations, with just the simple gesture of raising a hand, a terrifying power of the eye instantly enveloped the entire area like an invisible giant hand. The raging sea of ​​fire and the rampant flames seemed to be paused the moment they came into contact with that power of the eye, freezing in mid-air.

Then, like obedient pets, the flames slowly contracted and condensed, eventually turning into a fireball the size of a fist, hovering above Uchiha Yao's palm, burning quietly.

With a casual clench of his hand, the fireball vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

The ninjas and villagers who had been fleeing the flames stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at the composed figure on the platform. Their faces were filled with awe and shock.

Even so, some aftershocks still spread outwards, impacting the foundation of the platform. The entire platform began to sway slightly, and some of the stone slabs at the edges started to loosen and fall off.

"Earth Release: Earth Returns!"

Kakashi's voice rang out at the edge of the battlefield. He quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hands into the ground. Dozens of Konoha Chunin responded simultaneously, forming hand seals in unison and channeling their chakra into the earth beneath their feet. The foundation of the platform, reinforced by Earth Release techniques, became stable again, the cracks stopped spreading, and the shaking gradually subsided.

Kakashi looked up at the composed figure on the platform, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He murmured in admiration, "As expected of Yao-kun... his strength is truly formidable. Even a mere aftershock requires the combined efforts of so many of us to stabilize the situation."

Having confirmed that Kakashi had completed the tasks below, Uchiha Yao no longer paid attention to the matters at hand. He took a deep breath, and at that moment, the power of his Rinnegan Mangekyou Sharingan was released in its entirety without reservation!

An invisible power of vision swept across the entire arena like a tsunami!

The rampaging Shukaku, its massive body, was instantly crushed by an invisible mountain the moment it came into contact with this power of the eye, unable to move. It let out a terrified roar and struggled desperately, only to find that its body was completely out of its control.

All the resurrected warriors—the Fourth Kazekage, the Fourth Mizukage, the Third Raikage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the controlled henchmen—were simultaneously suppressed by an invisible force. Their bodies froze in place, like insects frozen in amber, unable to move even a finger.

Uchiha Yao stood in the center of the high platform, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire scene. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears: "This farce should end."

In the distance, Senju Nawaki and his men quelled the final commotion. He wiped the blood from his face, looked up, and saw the tall figure on the high platform—Uchiha Yao, who had single-handedly suppressed his great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei, as well as the legendary Uchiha Madara.

His face revealed undisguised admiration.

"As expected of Brother Yao, who could easily subdue my sister!" Nawaki clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "This is true strength! So powerful!"

Shukaku, whose power of the eye had suppressed him, had completely lost his composure.

Its massive body lay sprawled on the ground, trembling, its enormous eyes filled with terror. It recognized that power of vision—no, it should say, it recognized that feeling of being utterly crushed.

Decades ago, it was utterly crushed by a man named Hashirama Senju using Wood Release. Not long after, it was rendered helpless by a man named Madara Uchiha using his Sharingan. Having finally endured the deaths of those two monsters, it thought it could finally unleash its power—but upon its reappearance, it encountered an Uchiha even more terrifying than those two monsters!

Why is this ninja world so dangerous?!

Shukaku buried its head in the sand, looking dejected, and dared not make another sound.

At this moment, Danzo, who was being forced into a very bad situation by Kimimaro and Jugo, finally noticed the scene on the high platform.

He saw Uchiha Yao suppress all the reanimated ninjas single-handedly, saw Shukaku the One-Tailed Beast trembling on the ground like a frightened little animal, and saw his carefully planned conspiracy of many years as fragile as paper in the face of absolute power.

A flicker of madness and resentment flashed in his eyes.

"No...it can't end like this...absolutely not!"

He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his hands formed one strange hand seal after another. At the cost of his own life force, he forcibly activated the highest control authority of the Impure World Reincarnation, pouring all his chakra and soul energy into the impure bodies of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!

"Give it your all!!!"

A blinding light erupted simultaneously from the reanimated bodies of Hashirama and Madara. The intensity of their chakra surged to an unprecedented level in an instant. The control seals within their bodies began to crack under the impact of this power, and then—shattered with a deafening roar!

They broke free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, at the same time, the power that Danzo infused at the cost of his life also temporarily restored their strength to their peak level before they died.

Hashirama flexed his wrists, feeling the long-lost, abundant power within him, a complex expression on his face: "This feeling... it's been so long."

Madara snorted coldly, his gaze falling on Uchiha Yao, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit: "Kid, you just said—it's time to end this?"

"I think we can play a little longer."

The two exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously. There was no malice, no hatred in their smiles, only the excitement and anticipation of meeting a worthy opponent.

Hashirama clasped his hands together: "Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

Madara's eyes instantly transformed into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan: "Susanoo - Perfect Form!"

A blue chakra giant rose from the ground, covering the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue. The enormous wooden Buddha statue was draped in blue armor, with countless arms extending from its back, each arm holding a giant sword formed from chakra.

Susanoo Buddha.

The blue deity stood tall between heaven and earth, its power overwhelming. Its enormous body blotted out the sun and cast a massive shadow on the ground. Before it, the tailed beasts were like ants.

Uchiha Yao raised his head, looking at the towering blue Buddha, without a trace of fear in his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at him and nodded.

The two formed hand seals simultaneously.

The light of the Rinne Mangekyou Sharingan in Uchiha Yao's eyes grew even more intense.

Wood Release chakra surged forth from Tsunade's body like a tidal wave.

The two forces converged and merged in mid-air, and then—exploded with a roar!

A colossal Buddha, even larger, more solid, and more majestic than the Susanoo of Hashirama and Madara, slowly rose from the ground!

The giant Buddha was also clad in blue Susanoo armor, but the surface of the armor was covered with the unique life patterns of the Thousand Hands Wood Release.

Behind the giant Buddha, countless arms also extend, and in the palm of each arm is a rapidly spinning Rasengan!
