Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Kabuto blinked.

He then smiled.

He hadn't expected things to turn out this interesting.

Suddenly.

Kabuto was taken aback.

Could it be that I am also a pawn in its game?

Is this also part of Black Zetsu's plan?

"Who knows~"

Kabuto quickly put the question out of his mind.

As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.

[Shhhhh—]

A snake's tail peeked from a corner of Yakushi Kabuto's robe onto the ground.

It writhed on the ground, emitting a low, high-pitched sound.

【suddenly.】

A memory flashed back into Kabuto's mind.

He remained silent for a long while.

"Heh... Lord Orochimaru, I think I know why you've chosen to join Konoha."

【...】

【at the same time.】

[Inside Naruto's Kamui dimension.]

Hashirama Senju felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Look down.

[After his resurrected body was repeatedly destroyed.]

[My best buddy, Uchiha Madara, whose recovery speed gets slower and slower each time.]

His eye twitched.

Why does this happen every time I recover after being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation?

[Just staring at me the whole time?]

The emotions grew stronger with each passing moment.

Hashirama Senju felt a chill run down his spine.

[I felt a chill run down my spine.]

But right now, he lacks the power to make a change.

[I can only watch my best friend, Uchiha Madara, suffer.]

【finally.】

Hashirama Senju shook his head.

The wet bone forest immortal-style facial makeup on her face slowly disappeared.

【Time is up.】

[Natural energy.]

There aren't many here either.

【Gurgle—】

"I'm hungry."

"Madara."

"Would you like some?"

[Hashirama Senju asked instinctively.]

[Answer him.]

[It was Madara Uchiha's gaze, filled with extreme anger and frustration.]

Hashirama Senju: "..."

【Hahaha~】

"I'm so sorry."

"I forgot, you are an impure resurrection being; you don't need to eat."

"But, you know..."

"Fighting you is an extremely tiring experience."

"My body is too exhausted."

"It's normal to be hungry, right?"

[While speaking.]

Hashirama Senju takes out a bento box.

[The moment it opened.]

[The aroma is wonderful!]

【Gurgle~】

This time, it wasn't his stomach growling; it was Hashirama Senju's throat that was making the noise.

【then.】

[I could feel the fiery glare in my best friend Madara Uchiha's eyes.]

Hashirama Senju hesitated for a moment.

"Madara."

"There's something wrong with this bento box... I need to investigate it."

"Excuse me."

Having said that, Hashirama Senju vanished from the spot.

[Actually, it just moved back a few steps.]

In this way, Madara Uchiha wouldn't be able to see him.

Of course, it's still perceptible.

But you can't see it.

[The main reason is that Hashirama Senju couldn't see the pitiful state of Madara Uchiha.]

He could no longer suppress his appetite.

[Immediately devour the food.]

As for my good buddies who suffered so much.

"He deserves it."

"I'm just supervising."

"It's alright, it's alright, Madara will get through this on her own soon."

【Hahaha~】

[Unbeknownst to them, this was Madara Uchiha in his Rinnegan form.]

He could hear his voice clearly.

[This moment.]

Madara Uchiha suddenly came to his senses.

[Realizing why Naruto had let Hashirama Senju in.]

A slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

[Looking up at the approaching Super Wood Release: Wood Dragon.]

"What an excellent child."

"Is this a way to shift the blame?"

"Actually, it's not necessary."

"How could I, Uchiha Madara, be that kind of person?"

【"but......"】

"Once I have a physical body, it's really time to have a good chat with Hashi's mom about our years of relationship."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of life for flesh and blood not to experience the thrill of blood boiling?"

Madara Uchiha closes his eyes.

【boom--!!!】

[The next moment.]

The body, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, was torn to pieces.

Up to now.

[Just right.]

[Exactly one hundred times.]

[Number of times the Impure World Reincarnation can be restored after being shattered.]

[At the beginning.]

All of Madara Uchiha's pride vanished when faced with Naruto's terrifying power.

[They have all disappeared.]

But at this moment.

Madara Uchiha, however, still retained his pride.

Because Naruto Uzumaki is not on the same level as everyone else.

[A challenge beyond one's level?]

Eat your food one bite at a time.

【Now.】

Only my best friend, Hashirama Senju, is on my level.

Yes, that's right!

[First, defeat an opponent of the same level.]

First, defeat your opponents of the same level!

The more Madara Uchiha thought about it this way, the more hopeful he felt for the future.

[The Wood Release: Wood Dragon crashes down.]

It doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore.

【good.】

[Those reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation are without consciousness.]

However, Naruto's attacks were still perceptible.

【finally.】

Madara Uchiha is enraged.

[Why did it take so long to eat a meal?!]

[Actually, only two and a half minutes have passed.]

Because it hurt so much.

[The so-called pride was immediately thrown to the back of one's mind.]

"Hash is hot mom!!!!"

Shout it out.

Then, during a break...

[Instantly unleashing chakra.]

[The complete Susanoo has appeared.]

[He leaped up.]

[He aimed a slash at Hashirama Senju's position and swung the blade.]

Strangely enough...

At this moment.

The powerful, complete Susanoo that was originally bestowed upon the hands of the Matryoshka Doll True Thousands suddenly disappeared.

[The external defenses have been lost.]

[His Wood Release only has his own defense, which is even stronger than the Perfect Susanoo.]

【boom--!!!】

[Caught off guard.]

Hashirama Senju was blasted away.

[She was still holding a lunchbox.]

【Hahaha~】

Now it was Madara Uchiha's turn to laugh.

【certainly.】

[It was quickly shattered by the wooden dragon, along with the newly appeared complete Susanoo.]

【...】

[The real world.]

Naruto stood in mid-air.

Looking around at the cratered battlefield.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache.

"This is getting a bit tricky."

"Post-war recovery is also a huge undertaking."

"Since that's the case, let's make good use of it."

[While speaking.]

Naruto disappeared from the spot.

[Appeared on the ground.]

Extend two fingers and lightly tap the ground.

[The other hand forms a hand seal.]

[Next.]

[A massive amount of Yang Release chakra appears.]

[Including, there was still a lot of natural chakra remaining in his body.]

[It was poured into the ground together.]

【soon.】

[With the irrigation of Wood Release.]

The battlefield, once barren and riddled with craters, was now surrounded by...

[Variety is beginning to sprout.]

[Single-handedly, he controlled an area spanning dozens of miles.]

[It transforms into an "oasis in the desert."]

[And the Wood Release techniques used by Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju earlier.]

They also descended underground.

[Providing this oasis with limited, but sufficient, nutrients.]

[Then.]

[Restore all the Wood Release techniques used in overly dense areas to their original state.]

[Soil and streams carrying nutrients.]

【...】

[The Pure Land.]

[In a certain corner.]

An aged figure floated in mid-air.

It was originally dormant.

[Suddenly opened his mouth.]

"Indra...is gone."

"What's happening in the ninja world...?"
