The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The Ten-Tails might not be able to be taken away.

Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan is something to look forward to.

You can never have too little of this stuff.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to keep Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan as an important means to revive his parents in the future, Menma would have already tried to absorb the power of the Rinnegan.

Even if it can't compare to the energy possessed by that giant Tenseigan.

But in the end, they are still a pair of Rinnegan!

Now that a second pair of Rinnegan is right in front of him, Menma has no reason to give it up.

There's also that giant Reincarnation Eye on the moon.

The dough must be replicated at least once.

We finally get to run the dungeons again in New Game Plus, there's no reason to save these rewards for other people!

Anyway, without saying much, Mianma is definitely not going to let go of these two targets.

These are the spoils I absolutely had to take with me from this unexpected trip!

If he could obtain the two small and one large eyes, Menma would consider his trip worthwhile, and he could fully foresee that his strength would definitely undergo a certain degree of quantitative improvement.

Forget about a qualitative change.

Their strength has reached the level of the Six Paths or above.

Want to take that step that will bring about a qualitative change.

That requires constantly absorbing all available energy over many years. The Otsutsuki clan travels through the stars to plant trees in order to continuously accumulate chakra in order to reach the final qualitative change.

On this special 'track'.

The production of sesame seed cakes is only at its very beginning.

It has to be done little by little, gradually.

Meanwhile, as Menma was planning his next move, he was also rushing towards the location of the great battle.

On the main battlefield.

The battle has become even more intense.

Just like in the original work, Hashirama Senju and others appeared at the most opportune moment and withstood the most powerful wave of attacks from Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha.

"Hashi Lama!!!!!"

Madara Uchiha, who had previously maintained a contemptuous attitude as if looking down on all living beings, burst into wild laughter the moment he saw Hashirama Senju appear.

"boom!!"

That further unleashed a powerful burst of chakra energy.

At this moment.

This ninja world demon is the one who's truly serious!

In Uchiha Madara's eyes.

His closest friend and his greatest enemy was only one person: Hashirama Senju!

"Peng!"

"Boom!!!"

The colossal Susanoo, soaring majestically through the sky, and the terrifying wooden dragon—both are beings with whom the intricacies of their existence are intimately familiar.

Madara Uchiha did not use the power of the Rinnegan.

It was simply using the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to clash with Hashirama Senju.

"Ban, stop. The so-called Eye of the Moon Plan is doomed to fail. And even if it did succeed, it would only be an illusory peace, which would be meaningless. Don't be so stubborn."

Even as he fought, Hashirama didn't forget to continue trying to persuade his dear friend.

If unifying the ninja world only appears bloody and cruel, then the peaceful world created by Madara Uchiha's Infinite Tsukuyomi technique seems even more incomprehensible.

What's the difference between that kind of life and being a walking corpse?!

If we absolutely have to let Hashirama choose a path.

It's better to choose the former.

At least that approach seemed more authentic.

At most, more people will die. It's cruel, but it still offers a glimmer of hope for a peaceful future. Hashirama wasn't really stupid or naive enough to not see the benefits of unifying the ninja world. It's just that his personality dictated that he didn't want to take such a bloody approach. The bigger reason was that he genuinely believed his sincerity could earn him the understanding and recognition of others.

This was especially true after the first Five Shadows Conference.

This further solidified Hashirama's belief in his own ideas.

That's why he rejected the idea of ​​unifying the ninja world by force. But now, compared to the Eye of the Moon plan, all of this is incomparable.

This is practically an act of world destruction, isn't it?

Hashirama simply couldn't understand Madara's thought process.

"Hmph, you're still as naive as ever, Hashirama. The greater good is now in my hands. This is the true path to peace left by our ancestors, the mission bestowed upon our Uchiha clan by the entire world. The world of Infinite Tsukuyomi is true peace. In my opinion, the one who should give up is you, Hashirama!"

Ban gave a light snort, speaking with an air of endless arrogance.

I am destined by fate.

This is the firm idea that Madara formed in his mind after he awakened the Rinnegan and learned about the contents of the stone tablet that Black Zetsu had altered.

In Uchiha Madara's view

The path you choose is correct and beyond question.

"Ban, you..."

"You only see the leaves, not the forest, so you will always be so naive. World peace will be forged by me, Uchiha Madara!"

A sharp glint flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.

"boom!"

The chakra surge that followed was even more overwhelming.

"Drink!"

With a deep shout.

"Shh!"

The massive Susanoo shadow pressed forward, its chakra blade raised high, and then slashed straight down.

"Then I'll do everything in my power to stop you, Madara!"

A resolute look also appeared between the pillar's brows.

With a clap of both hands.

The natural energy surrounding him rushed rapidly into Hashirama's body, like a water pump, swirling in the energy.

"Buzz!"

In less than 0.5 seconds.

Hashirama immediately entered Sage Mode.

A powerful aura of chakra rippled outwards.

"Sage Art - Wood Release - True Several Thousand Hands Technique!"

A giant wooden statue of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin appeared out of thin air, with countless hands waving out in an extreme manner.

"Peng!"

"Boom!!"

It directly confronted the Susanoo attack controlled by Madara Uchiha.

However, unlike more than fifty years ago, Hashirama's Wood Release can always overpower any of Madara's techniques.

Even the powerful Susanoo was suppressed by the True Several Thousand Hands.

Even today!

Madara Uchiha's strength has already reached a new level.

Even though he was only using the Eternal Eye in the fight, his eye power had genuinely increased significantly!

Specifically, when applied to any technique released by the Eternal Eye, its power is enhanced to the extreme.

This time.

It was Susanoo's turn to overpower the True Thousand Hands!

The gleaming blade light revealed countless severed hands in the void, barely managing to block the sharp blade.

"Splash!!"

The wood chips that followed fell down.

Under Madara's control, the power of that Susanoo sword increased even further.

Even Hashirama, who was clearly feeling the strain, looked at Madara's location with a hint of shock.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 599 Next up is!

How powerful is this dearest friend of mine?

Hashirama was well aware that although he had won the previous battles, they were not easy. The gap between the two was not particularly large, but his repeated victories were enough to prove that Hashirama's strength was greater than that of Madara Uchiha. Especially under the strong pressure of his strongest Wood Release technique, True Several Thousand Hands, even Madara's armored Susanoo covering the Nine-Tails could only barely resist. As soon as it entered a war of attrition...

Then Hashirama, who possesses the Sage Body and can enter Sage Mode, was able to win decisively.

In those battles...

Hashirama always won by using this method.

But today!
