Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 178 Madara Uchiha's Astonishment, The Power of Version! (10,000 words, please subscribe)

The silver moon hangs high in the sky.

Inside the Senju clan's residence, Hidezawa carried in the prepared meal.

Tsunade was sitting at the table, holding a wooden plaque and a kunai in her right hand, carving something on it.

"Teacher, would you like to eat something?"

Xiuze slowly walked over, peeked at it, and found that she had carved a "丅" on it, which made Xiuze look strange.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"you"

Tsunade then came to her senses, immediately put away the wooden plaque, and spoke with a stern face.

"Why do you walk so quietly? And don't call me teacher, I don't have a disciple like you!"

"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Xiuze didn't mind; he smiled and sat down.

"Have something to eat. You've been tired all afternoon. Besides, I don't think it's rained much this month. What are you planning? Is it...?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll fight you right now!"

Tsunade glared at Hidezawa fiercely, and she couldn't be bothered to dwell on the fact that Hidezawa continued to call her teacher.

There's no point in talking to this bastard; it's better to keep quiet to avoid getting upset.

"Bring me some wine, I'd like a drink."

"No, drinking will lead to trouble. You need to drink less."

When Tsunade heard that she wanted to drink, Hidezawa immediately shook his head and refused without hesitation, which made Tsunade both annoyed and amused.

"You've really gone against the grain! Have you forgotten that I'm your teacher?"

"Didn't you just say you didn't want me to call you 'teacher'?"

"Then why aren't you yelling?"

"Stop arguing. Everything else is fine, but drinking is out of the question. Looks like you're still got plenty of energy. Come on, let's practice one more time before Xiyan and the others get back!"

".Neuropathy!"

Tsunade patted Hidezawa's hand; she didn't want to keep arguing with him about this kind of issue.

Even though she had accepted the current situation, she didn't want to be exposed in front of Xiyan and Guang; she couldn't bear the shame!

As for the future

Those are all things for the future, we'll talk about them later. There's no point in thinking about them so much now.

"Speaking of which, why haven't Hikaru and Yugao returned yet?"

Hidetsawa didn't make things difficult for Tsunade. He sat down and asked curiously.

"I don't recall the Root having much to do today, and the Anbu doesn't seem to have any missions either. Did you exploit them again?"

"You treat me like you? Who would exploit them for no reason?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

"Are you really not going to do anything? The situation in the ninja world is so complicated right now."

The Fourth Mizukage was attacked, Takigakure was also attacked, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki went missing, and there was also the incident at Konoha's Fire Temple.

It's fair to say that the entire ninja world is in chaos right now. The Anbu and Root are under immense pressure, and everyone is busy.

Do you think everyone is like you, who doesn't need to worry about so many things?

"Is that so?"

Xiuze nodded. Indeed, the situation in the ninja world was not optimistic. Regardless of whether they had ambitions or not, everyone had begun preparations at this moment.

Although Hideaki doesn't know the exact mindset of the Cloud Village and the Iwa Village, they have already become involved in this larger environment.

They could even be considered the driving force behind these increasingly dire situations, suggesting that the ninja world is now truly in grave danger.

What's missing is simply an opportunity to get everyone moving!

And all of this, Xiuze felt, was probably not far off.

"Your idea is good, but you're moving too far ahead of the curve."

Tsunade understood all of this, and she couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"My grandfather may have been wrong, which led to the current situation, allowing all interests to be stabilized and even strengthened."

The price to pay to break this cycle is unimaginable, and I'm worried that things will continue like this.

"Teacher, don't you want to see a better and more peaceful future?"

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Hidezawa interrupted her with a smile.

Reaching out, Xiuze gently put his arm around Tsunade's waist before slowly continuing to speak.

"Of course I know what I'm doing, and I'm well aware of the consequences it will have."

But what we need to do is change, to change the problems left behind by the First Hokage, to change all of this!

Such a change cannot be achieved without bloodshed, just like when Konoha was founded, can it?

Tsunade listened to Hidezawa's words and fell silent for a moment. She sighed and leaned on Hidezawa's shoulder.

Indeed, such changes cannot be carried out alone, and such changes will inevitably involve bloodshed.

Even if she didn't like such an extreme approach, that was the truth.

"You brat, since when did it become your place to lecture me?"

After a while, Tsunade suddenly laughed, and said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Don't forget, I'm your teacher, you arrogant brat."

"oh."

Xiuze nodded, then grinned mischievously.

"Then the teacher shouldn't always be on the bottom. How about next time, the teacher can be on top?"

"."

Tsunade fell silent for a moment, then clenched her fist. Since the attempt to educate her had failed, she might as well just beat this wicked disciple to death!

woo-

woo-

woo-

However, just as she was about to unleash that "iron fist of justice," the entire Hidden Leaf Village suddenly sounded an alarm.

The piercing sound echoed throughout Konoha, and Shusawa stood up at that moment. His senses instantly spread out, and he quickly understood what was going on.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Tsunade knew how strong Hidezawa's perception was, so she asked him directly in a low voice.

"Has someone come to Konoha to cause trouble?"

"Indeed, and the people who came are no ordinary people."

Xiuze nodded, then said with a somewhat inscrutable expression.

"It's your great-grandfather Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha."

The sight of these two together truly surprised even Xiuzawa. Could this be considered the "founding duo of Konoha" coming to destroy Konoha?

Although the situation is somewhat ironic and comical, the fact that these two dared to come over likely indicates something.

"Nagato has been found by Black Zetsu; they're here to draw fire!"

Nagato was personally placed underground by Hidezawa, and the White Zetsu who escaped and eventually died was also arranged by Hidezawa himself.

The goal, of course, was to ensure that Nagato could continue to gain the trust of the Akatsuki, continue to receive sufficient benefits from the Akatsuki, and continue to pass on intelligence to their side.

The arrival of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju was somewhat unexpected, but in any case, it seemed to prove that there was nothing wrong with his actions.

So now, naturally, we need to solve the current problem!

"Let's go, teacher."

Shuzawa turned to look at Tsunade, extended his hand and smiled.

"Go see your grandfather. I'd also like to see how well they've recovered."

"What happened?"

"I don't know, but let's be prepared!"

"Everyone, assemble immediately!"

As the alarm sounded, the entire Hidden Leaf Village sprang into action. They quickly assembled, and no one dared to be careless at this moment.

"Those two guys."

Jiraiya was a little dazed at this moment, having already arrived at the Hokage Rock.

Looking down at the two ninjas standing on the Hokage Rock, he found his heart racing wildly.

He had already recognized who these two guys were; their appearances, almost identical to the two giant statues in the Valley of the End, completely explained everything!

"Uchiha Madara, the First Hokage, and Senju Hashirama."

He uttered the name that chilled even himself, his face covered in cold sweat.

"Oh, you little brat, you've got some nerve, daring to come here all by yourself."

Madara Uchiha had already noticed Jiraiya's movements, and he tilted his head, revealing a disdainful smile.

"You're quite capable, coming all by yourself. I thought that brat Shihara Hidezawa would be the first one to come."

"Were you resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be making no move, Jiraiya immediately pressed for an answer.

"What is your purpose? What is Orochimaru's purpose?"

"hehe."

Madara Uchiha shook his head silently, his disdain growing even stronger.

"Why do you think that I, like this idiot, can be controlled by Orochimaru?"

Are you overestimating that brat Orochimaru and underestimating me?

And why do you think I'd tell you my purpose, you brat?

Although Orochimaru held control of the Edo Tensei, Madara Uchiha believed he could definitely seize it if he wanted to!

That's his confidence; he never thought he would be bothered by someone like Orochimaru.

As for Hashirama Senju?

This guy has never seen the 'roots' of the Senju clan, so naturally he can't cross that final step. It's no wonder he was controlled!

"Little guy, go find Xiuze right now!"

Hashirama Senju wasn't as arrogant as Madara Uchiha; upon seeing Jiraiya, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Given the current situation, only Hidezawa can stop it. We need to get him to move us out of Konoha as soon as possible!"

"Since Hashirama has said so, then you should go quickly."

Madara Uchiha glanced at Jiraiya, his eyes filled with disdain.

"I have no interest in a little guy like you, and I don't want to say anything more to you. You're not even worthy of my attention, so don't waste my time."

This arrogant tone perfectly showcased Madara Uchiha's arrogance, and although Jiraiya was displeased, he didn't seem to find it strange.

Because this is probably Uchiha Madara, the former Asura of the ninja world.

But Jiraiya could not back down, nor would he allow himself to!

"I know I can't be your match, but Konoha is also my village."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and looked at Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju with utmost seriousness.

"And there's something I've always been curious about: Nagato, his Rinnegan is yours, right? Why did you give it to him?"

This question has been troubling Jiraiya for a long time, and today he really wants to get to the bottom of it!

"ha?"

Madara Uchiha tilted his head, looking at Jiraiya with some surprise, and then sneered.

"I didn't expect you to be so clever; you actually guessed those eyes were mine?"

"Because I obtained some information, some data."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and spoke with great solemnity.

"Although it cannot be seen, according to Hidezawa's interpretation, the Uchiha stone tablet and the Senju tree roots tell some secrets."

"The secret of the power of all things in the universe—I suspect you are the most likely person to unlock this power, so..."

"The roots of a thousand-armed tree?"

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju spoke almost simultaneously.

Hashirama Senju was still a little confused. This little guy in front of him had seen that thing before?

Madara Uchiha was incredibly excited; he had finally obtained useful information!

"Tell me quickly, where did you see it?!"

As he spoke, Madara Uchiha's chakra suddenly erupted!

The violent aura pressed down on Jiraiya, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

This behavior surprised even Jiraiya. What's wrong with this guy?

But in an instant, he realized that Madara Uchiha probably wanted to obtain information about the Senju clan's tree roots.

The information about the Uchiha and Senju clans is different. It's normal for Madara Uchiha to have his own thoughts, but how could Jiraiya possibly tell him such a thing?

"Don't even think about it, I'm not telling you!"

"Yeah?"

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow, but a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"Very well, very well, since you don't want to talk about it, then..."

In an instant, Madara Uchiha made his move!

His figure seemed to rush directly in front of Jiraiya. He was extremely pleased with this information; it was something he had always wanted.

Unexpectedly, this white-haired brat actually had what he wanted, so how could he possibly waste a single word talking to this brat?

"So fast!"

Jiraiya was utterly astonished. Madara Uchiha had just said he wasn't interested in him, but in the blink of an eye, he attacked, and the speed was so fast that it made Jiraiya question his own existence.

But Jiraiya was, after all, a super ninja, and even in this situation, he still reacted instinctively.

He crouched down, instantly avoiding Madara Uchiha's fist.

"You reacted pretty quickly."

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow and smiled disdainfully.

"So what now?"

In the next instant, Madara Uchiha suddenly raised his foot and kicked Jiraiya hard.

Jiraiya had no chance to dodge at all, and he was kicked away almost instantly!

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha still wanted to get information and didn't kick him downwards towards the Hokage Rock, otherwise Jiraiya would be flying through the air right now.

"Watch out, they're attacking your left!"

Just as Jiraiya got up, Hashirama Senju's voice suddenly rang out, causing Jiraiya's expression to change.

However, he readily agreed and immediately moved to the right. But Hashirama Senju's speed was incredibly fast, and even with a prior warning, Jiraiya was still sent flying by a single punch!

While he was still in mid-air, Madara Uchiha charged at him again and threw a punch. Jiraiya tried his best to defend, but he was still knocked away again.

"What kind of speed and power is this?"

His mind was buzzing; the sheer power and speed of this attack was truly despairing.

He might be able to try to evade one person, but if two people attack him together, he has absolutely no chance of fighting back!

This situation is even more terrifying than when he faced Nagato's Six Paths of Pain.

He landed heavily, and despite the excruciating pain he was in, Jiraiya immediately forced himself to form hand seals!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon"

"Stop it!"

However, just as he was halfway through his Fire Release technique, his hands and feet were instantly bound by Wood Release, and Madara Uchiha quietly appeared in front of him, reaching out to twist his fingers as he formed hand seals!

The Senju and Uchiha's teamwork was absolutely flawless!

Madara Uchiha's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently into Jiraiya's eyes and spoke in a cold voice.

"Don't even think about resisting. Now tell me what you know, or else..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly erupted with intense chakra fluctuations, and a strange power instantly invaded Jiraiya's brain.

"Illusion?"

Jiraiya sensed something was wrong, but at that moment his consciousness had already become blurred.

He was fighting desperately, but Madara Uchiha's genjutsu was something that ordinary people couldn't withstand.

He gritted his teeth, hoping to regain his senses and break the genjutsu by disrupting his own chakra, but the Wood Release was absorbing his chakra, leaving him powerless.

"Oh no, could it be..."

Jiraiya's consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, but at that moment he suddenly seemed to see two figures attacking him.

That terrifying speed seemed to be no weaker than that of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

"Um?"

Madara Uchiha seemed to sense something was amiss, and the next moment he leaped up, just as a figure quietly arrived.

boom--

The massive shockwave nearly blew him away, the earth cracked open at that moment, and Jiraiya was instantly carried far away by the impact.

However, just as he was about to crash to the ground, countless vines appeared and firmly trapped him.

"It's finally here!"

Upon seeing this, Hashirama Senju smiled, while Madara Uchiha shook his head in slight distress.

"You've come at a really bad time."

As the smoke cleared, Xiuzawa and Tsunade appeared, and more and more people had gathered around them!

"Grandpa, it's been a long time."

Tsunade looked at Hashirama Senju in front of her, sighed, and then spoke seriously, her gaze turning to Madara Uchiha.

"It seems Orochimaru has improved; he's even managed to summon someone like you. What's your purpose in coming here this time?"

"Hmph, you're not qualified to question me."

Madara Uchiha knew that Tsunade was Hashirama Senju's granddaughter and could also sense that the aura emanating from Tsunade was extraordinary.

But as proud as he is, he doesn't easily acknowledge someone. Only those he acknowledges through battle are worthy of his attention!

"And what about me?"

But soon, Madara Uchiha didn't want to talk anymore, because Hidezawa also spoke up quietly at this moment.

His words silenced Madara Uchiha, after all, this guy had really beaten him to a pulp!

"Hmph, Shihara Hidezawa."

After a long while, Madara Uchiha let out a soft hum, his gaze becoming somewhat serious.

"You're here just in time; there's a score we need to settle!"

"Shall we settle the bill?"

Xiuze tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"As you are now, it seems you still have a lot to go."

This statement was somewhat offensive to Madara Uchiha.

When was he ever looked down upon by others?

Even Hashirama Senju at his peak wouldn't say something like that to me!

However, that one sword strike that blotted out the sky, that one sword strike that destroyed his reanimated body, truly left Madara Uchiha somewhat helpless.

However, Madara Uchiha is Madara Uchiha after all. When it comes to making bold statements, he will never allow himself to be at a disadvantage, nor will he ever bow down to his enemy!

"That was me in the past. I have never recovered to my strongest state, and I am not invincible now."

Besides, I'm not the only one now. Do you really think you have victory in the bag?

"Is that so?"

Xiuze tilted his head, and in an instant, his chakra stirred, and the strange spatial fluctuations immediately began to appear.

Madara Uchiha became somewhat alert, while Hashirama Senju breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had encountered this tactic before; it was a move to relocate them to another area to fight.

This is perfect; at least their battle won't break out in Konoha and cause any irreparable damage to the village.

But at that moment, Xiuze spoke up again.

"Since you're so confident, I'll give you a chance. I'd also like to see how far you've recovered."

At the same time, I'm also very curious about the fighting power of the Shura and God of Shinobi who dominated the entire ninja world and created the vast Hidden Leaf Village back then.

Hidezawa's words made Madara Uchiha feel a little better, and also brought a smile to Hashirama Senju's face.

The latest novel is first published here!

Even if it's all just empty fame, it all depends on who says it.

If an ordinary person, or even an ordinary ninja, said this, they probably wouldn't be moved in the slightest.

But when these words came from Shihara Hidezawa, a guy who was in no way inferior to them at their peak, and might even be stronger, the situation was completely different.

But the next moment, Xiuze's words made their faces turn black.

"I hope you won't let me down."

Xiuze glanced at Uchiha Madara, and suddenly had an inspiration. He crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the two of them almost out of the corner of his eye.

"At the very least, I hope you can please me."

"."

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha both widened their eyes in surprise; they rarely saw someone so arrogant.

Hashirama Senju glanced at Madara Uchiha with a puzzled look. He felt that Shihara Hidezawa's way of speaking sounded so much like Madara Uchiha.

"This brat, is he doing this on purpose?"

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth, thinking, "Shouldn't he be the one to say that?"

But neither of them had a chance to speak at this moment. With a surge of space, they were gone from their original spot in an instant.

Once they could see their surroundings clearly, they immediately knew where they were!

"The Valley of the End?"

"That's right, the Valley of the End."

Xiuze nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

"I think I just heard you were very interested in the roots of the Senju clan. Well, your chance has come."

If you can please me, I will tell you the secret.

"."

Hashirama Senju remained silent, while Madara Uchiha's fist was already hard.

Suddenly, Hashirama Senju turned to look at Madara Uchiha and spoke softly.

"Ban, now you know why you deserve a beating?"

"..."

"Hokage-sama, what happened?"

After Hidezawa, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju disappeared, the Konoha ninjas immediately surrounded the area.

Yugao and Hikari had already met on the road, and the two of them immediately arrived at the scene. Upon seeing Tsunade, Yugao stood up and asked her in a low voice.

"It was Uchiha Madara and my grandfather."

Tsunade couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw Yugao, but she quickly regained her composure and spoke.

"They've come. Their purpose is unknown, but it's very likely that they're after the thing we found up there."

"That thing from your Senju clan?"

She glanced at Tsunade and seemed to understand the general situation, but she quickly frowned slightly.

"Then why not give it to him? There's not much on it anyway, and you know there are some interesting records inside that might confuse him."

She had seen what was written on the tree roots, and even Xiuze, who couldn't see them, would interpret it for her.

Therefore, she knew that the tree root didn't record much at all; its greatest use was probably the "Power of All Things" and the fact that the Uchiha were being treated like fools.

Guang doesn't feel embarrassed to bring up this kind of embarrassing past.

"I never said I wouldn't give it to you, it's just that this idiot won't say it."

Tsunade rolled her eyes and pointed her slender finger directly at Jiraiya, who was still somewhat dazed.

After being tormented by Xiuze all afternoon, I finally managed to rest, but before I could even eat, this kind of mess happened.

She had just arrived and, before she could even figure out what was going on, saw the "Konoha Duo" brutally beating up Jiraiya.

All she heard was some brief information; she really didn't know anything else!

"Cough cough cough"

Upon noticing something was wrong, Minato Namikaze rushed over and helped Jiraiya up. Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately felt a tightness in his chest and then began to cough incessantly.

So, if I don't say anything, it's my fault?

However, Jiraiya didn't dare to refute it. After recalling the information on the tree trunk, he suddenly realized that he might actually be in a better position to have the final say!

He immediately felt a pang of regret; it seemed he had taken the beating for nothing.

"Teacher, Lady Tsunade, what exactly is this?"

Minato Namikaze looked bewildered. He didn't understand what was going on, and he was also somewhat confused about what had happened.

boom--

However, at that moment, the earth suddenly trembled, and a powerful burst of chakra erupted.

Even though they were in Konoha, the chakra-infused wind made it hard for them to open their eyes!

"That direction, the Valley of the End?"

Tsunade gazed into the distance, quickly determined the direction, and then looked toward Minato Namikaze.

"This isn't the time to talk about this. Let Jiraiya explain it to you. Besides, although Hidezawa can handle them, I think we should go and take a look."

"yes!"

Minato Namikaze nodded. Even though he didn't know exactly what was going on, he knew the enemy must be very strong.

After all, in Minato Namikaze's view, it was rare in the entire ninja world to be able to beat Jiraiya to such a state!

Moreover, he could also sense that chakra aura; this enemy was truly extraordinary.

"Furthermore, why is the Nine-Tails within me so restless?"

Minato Namikaze touched his lower abdomen in confusion, but then shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore.

Shuzawa, the young Hokage's assistant, has already set out on his own, and it seems they will have to go and provide reinforcements no matter how you look at it.

Furthermore, Minato Namikaze was also very curious about just how strong this young Hokage's assistant really was.

Above the Valley of the End.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had different expressions.

Hashirama Senju remained relatively calm, though his expression was somewhat inscrutable, but Madara Uchiha's fist had hardened.

Xiuze's words really disgusted him, especially when he realized that Xiuze seemed to be imitating his tone of voice, which made him almost lose his temper!

Looking at the calm and collected Xiuze before him, Uchiha Madara took a deep breath, and the next moment he spoke in a low voice.

"I'll go first, you support me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Madara Uchiha charged forward, which gave Hashirama Senju a headache.

"Hey, you bastard!"

Hashirama Senju didn't want to move, but at this moment his body was uncontrollably following Madara Uchiha.

This caused him considerable distress; the control over Impure World Reincarnation was no joke.

"Tsk tsk, the two prodigies of the ninja world who once co-founded Konoha have actually joined forces again. It's quite remarkable."

Xiuze chuckled softly upon seeing this, but quickly shook his head.

"It's still a bit of a shame, though, since you're all reanimated, you can't unleash your full potential. But let's see how well you can coordinate!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiuze rushed forward to meet him!

His speed was so fast that he seemed to leave a phantom trail, and in an instant he was in front of Uchiha Madara.

hum-

With a single punch, a powerful gust of wind swept out, seemingly about to shatter Madara Uchiha's head.

Although Madara Uchiha was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, his fighting style was such that he would never allow himself to be hit.

With a slight turn of his Sharingan, he instantly dodged the attack, and in the instant he avoided Hidezawa's attack, Hashirama Senju's Wood Release arrived!

"Wood Release: Cutting Technique"

Sharp wooden splinters extended from his palm, stabbing straight at Xiuze.

But Shuzawa nimbly turned around and, in the instant he avoided the wooden spikes, grabbed Senju Hashirama's wrist, while at the same time he formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Wood Release: Tree Root Burial".

Thick vines shot up from the ground, and Madara Uchiha, who had just dodged, wanted to hit Hidezawa from above.

But the vines instantly shot towards him and locked onto his body!

"burst!"

Shuzawa glanced at Uchiha Madara, then his wrist snapped, and with a crack, he nearly broke Senju Hashirama's wrist.

The vines binding Madara Uchiha spread wildly, as if they wanted to completely strangle him!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

However, at that moment a huge fire dragon rushed from afar, directly attacking Xiuze's location.

This fire dragon is so big that it seems to be just as big as the wood dragon!

Any Fire Release technique used by Madara Uchiha would likely be far more powerful than an S-rank ninjutsu as commonly understood!

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Just as the fire dragon was attacking, the wood dragon also attacked from the other side, its speed astonishing.

But Xiuze tilted his head slightly, and in the next instant, the vines in front of him connected together.

Wood Release: Wood Formation Wall!

Xiuze completed the technique almost without even using hand seals.

"Has this guy's mastery of magic reached this level?"

Not far away, Madara Uchiha stared at all of this, while Hashirama Senju remained silent. But just then, Hidezawa's voice rang out behind them!

"Thank you for the compliment, but your wood clones are also quite impressive."

The two men's expressions changed, and they immediately wanted to turn around, but Xiuze had already made his move in the next instant!

"Although I don't have the Sharingan, I can still sense your wood clones. By the way, how did my wood clones perform?"

Is Xiuze's clone also a wood clone?

Did this guy already know about our situation?

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha exchanged glances, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters.

"Wood Release: Wood Formation Wall!"

As Hashirama Senju retreated, he immediately formed hand seals, and in an instant, a massive wooden wall appeared between them and Shusawa.

At that moment, Madara Uchiha's chakra surged, his eyes spun rapidly, and in an instant, a blue Susanoo flew over!

A massive chakra katana was swung out fiercely, heading straight for Xiuze!

Seeing this, Xiuze's chakra flickered slightly, and in an instant he was far away from where he was.

Clearly, Madara Uchiha was well aware that at their level of strength, the use of taijutsu and conventional ninjutsu was merely a warm-up!

He had thought a lot about how to deal with Shuzawa, and after much deliberation, he felt that he still needed to make use of the characteristics of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Unlimited Chakra!

Only by continuously consuming large amounts of chakra, combined with the characteristic of unlimited chakra, can they defeat Shuzawa in this state!

"Hey, Xiuze, this guy's going to drain your chakra!"

Hashirama Senju instantly understood Madara Uchiha's meaning. He immediately shouted loudly towards Hidezawa's location, which almost made Madara Uchiha's nose crooked with anger.

Fortunately, although Hashirama Senju was shouting, his body moved uncontrollably.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Boom—

The earth began to shake violently, and the giant wooden figure rose from the ground and landed next to Susanoo, who had just swung his sword down!

The two colossal figures, resembling gods and demons, exuded a terrifying aura, inspiring awe and fear, much like the presence of deities.

"What is this?"

Not far from the Valley of the End, Minato Namikaze had already brought Tsunade and the others here, only to be greeted by such a terrifying sight as soon as they landed.

This left Minato Namikaze completely incredulous. Was this really a power that humans could achieve?

What he found even more unbelievable was that neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya, nor the ninjas who had come with the Root and Anbu, seemed to have any reaction to this scene.

It was as if they had already taken it for granted, and it wasn't surprising at all!

"What exactly is going on?"

Minato Namikaze pursed his lips. He felt that he was probably going to die too soon. The pace of development in this era was just too fast!

"Thanks for reminding me."

Xiuze was already flying in the air, floating directly in front of the two Asuras.

Looking at the scene before him, he suddenly recalled the time when Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to fight Jigen.

How do these two compare to Naruto and Sasuke, who were banned? But for him now, learning from that so-called Jigen doesn't seem to be a big problem.

"Fortunately, they are now reincarnated from the dead; otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to do this while they were alive."

Xiuze muttered to himself, and the next moment his whole body was radiated a platinum-gold luster!

Feel the power of version updates!

"This kid's about to make a move."

Madara Uchiha looked at Hidezawa with a somewhat solemn expression.

However, he was also a little puzzled. Why didn't this guy use a wooden puppet technique to deal with Nagato?

Hashirama Senju also felt that Hidezawa was being a bit arrogant, but just as he was about to say something, Hidezawa suddenly vanished from his spot!

hum-

With incredible speed, Hidezawa charged directly towards Susanoo, prompting Madara Uchiha to snort coldly.

"Since you're so recklessly courting death, then go in peace!"

A hundred-meter-tall blue giant, wielding a giant chakra blade, swung it fiercely at Xiuze.

In an instant, the earth surged, sand and stones flew, and even distant mountain peaks were shattered in two by the sword energy unleashed by this strike!

However, when faced with such a strike, Xiuze's body paused in mid-air for a moment before quickly falling down to perfectly dodge it.

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha didn't hesitate to control Susanoo and slash again.

However, the massive Susanoo seemed somewhat clumsy in front of Hidezawa, who simply stepped on Susanoo and rushed upwards!

"You want to know information about the Thousand Hands Clan's tree root?"

As he made his final sprint, Xiuzawa realized that Hei Ze was not there, and his voice suddenly rang out.

This surprised Madara Uchiha for a moment, while Hidezawa had already leaped up as if to attack the crystal tank of Susanoo.

"Xiuze, watch out!"

Hashirama Senju shouted loudly at this moment, because he had already controlled the wooden doll and the wooden dragon to launch an attack.

"The information recorded on the tree roots is not particularly extensive, but some things are quite interesting."

Shuzawa paid no attention to Hashirama Senju's attack. He quickly maneuvered in the air, dodging the attacks of the wooden doll and the wooden dragon. He even stepped on the wooden doll's arm to use the momentum to continue upward!

"The overlapping part probably describes the relationship between the Senju and Uchiha clans, that is, Indra and Ashura."

In mid-air, Xiuze spoke as he threw a punch, which struck the head of the oncoming wooden dragon.

With a deafening roar, the wooden dragon's head was smashed open, and a brilliant white light even flashed in mid-air!

"It also explains the origin of the power of all things in the universe, and what's even more interesting is that the Sage of Six Paths left us a final message!"

As he was speaking, Xiuzawa suddenly stopped, because the giant Susanoo had seized the opportunity to strike and was already slashing down at him with its sword.

boom--

The extreme power instantly caused the earth to collapse, and a long, canyon-like ravine suddenly appeared in the Valley of the End!

Smoke and dust billowed everywhere, and boulders flew about. Minato Namikaze, standing in the distance, stared blankly at all of this, and he really couldn't resist the urge to rush forward.

But seeing that the people around him didn't seem to be making any moves, he could only suppress his thoughts, though he was already mentally complaining.

"Are you really that relaxed? Well, Xiuze's aura is indeed still strong, but what about those two?"

Before he could think any further, Xiuze's voice rang out again from afar.

"On the Uchiha stone tablet, you recorded some information about something called the 'Eye of the Moon'."

Xiuze's voice was like a booming bell, while Uchiha Madara's eyes were slightly vacant. He snorted coldly and tried to lift the giant chakra blade, but was surprised to find that he could not do it!

As the dust settled, everyone saw that Xiuzawa was actually standing on the giant chakra blade of Susanoo, looking up at the two colossal creatures with a calm expression.

"but."

hum-

In an instant, Xiuze stomped his foot hard, and the giant chakra blade broke instantly.

He vanished from his spot like lightning and appeared at eye level with Madara Uchiha!

"The Senju clan has no such records."

Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly. He immediately controlled Susanoo to swing the ninja sword in his other hand, but Hidezawa easily dodged it.

Furthermore, Xiuzawa had already rushed forward at high speed, and in an instant, he had already penetrated the protection of the Susanoo's crystal tank and entered its body!

"Oh no!"

At that moment, Madara Uchiha's eyes transformed into the Rinnegan, and Hidezawa also produced a black stick in his hand, which he swung straight at Madara Uchiha!

boom--

Amidst a tremendous roar, Madara Uchiha's figure burst forth from Susanoo, and the entire Susanoo dissipated as it lost his control!

"It actually... pierced through Susanoo?"

Hashirama Senju stared at all of this in disbelief, and it all happened so fast that he had no time to react!

Xiuze raised an eyebrow, knowing that he hadn't hit the guy's main body at all, but rather a shadow.

"A clone of Limbo? It seems to have recovered quite well, but that's about it. Is there only one clone?"

"Don't get distracted!"

At that very moment, Hashirama Senju also launched another attack out of control, and the enormous wooden dragon roared as it hurtled toward Shusawa.

But Xiuze turned his head and flung the black stick in his hand!

Under the influence of chakra, the black rod instantly magnified and pierced through the wooden puppet's chest, causing Hashirama Senju to feel that he had lost control of the wooden puppet.

"This is the power of Yin-Yang Release? It's terrifying!"

Hashirama Senju couldn't help but mutter something, but the next instant, Shuzawa appeared in front of him and punched him in the stomach!

boom--

Hashirama Senju was also sent flying at that moment, but Madara Uchiha caught him just as he was about to crash into the ground.

"I've said before that you'd probably have a hard time pleasing me now, and that's exactly what happened."

Xiuze simply stood on top of the wooden figure, his arms crossed like Madara Uchiha's, and looked down at the two below with a smile.

"Forget it, how can young people argue with old people? Just consider it playing along with you guys."

"."

Madara Uchiha silently released Hashirama Senju. He glared at Hideaki above him, feeling for the first time how much he hated this person.

And a thought popped into his head: Was I really that repulsive before?

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Before he could figure out the problem, Xiuze spoke up again, and this time his expression changed slightly!

"On the roots of the Senju tree, the Sage of Six Paths clearly stated one thing: there has always been a shadow surrounding the Uchiha clan."

This shadow led to the thousand-year battle between the Senju and Uchiha clans, and it is also plotting something even more terrifying.

The Sage of Six Paths didn't stop the shadow's actions because he had a bigger purpose. Why don't you try to guess what this shadow wants to do?
