[Still as insightful as ever.]
[Madala.]
However, Hashirama Senju's smile quickly vanished.
[Without a doubt.]
[Armored Armor - Wood Release - Wood Golem - Susanoo.]
With their current Wood Release: Wood Human Technique and Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, they are destined to lose.
This is the only way.
He took a deep breath.
[He also realized that his chakra was being consumed too quickly.]
Fortunately, I learned a good method.
[Click click click—]
[Soon, Wood Release: Wood Golem's head appeared.]
Behind Hashirama Senju, a figure emerged atop the head of Wood Release: Wood Golem.
[Wood Release: Wood Clone]
Hashirama Senju patted him on the shoulder.
[soon. ]
[The Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique then reverted to its original form, turning back into a wooden stake.]
[Power banks are here!]
[Fully revived!]
[to be honest. ]
[In the past, Hashirama Senju would never have felt this way.]
[His chakra reserves—no, to be precise, the chakra he uses in a single battle—are likely equivalent to the total chakra used by most people in a lifetime.]
As things stand right now.
[He activated Sage Mode, but still had to use Wood Release: Wood Clone "Power Bank".]
[Obviously.]
Madara Uchiha's mastery of the Rinnegan was unmatched by Nagato Uzumaki.
[The ability of the Hungry Ghost Path to absorb chakra.]
There's no need to deliberately release it.
[It could be easily used during the battle against Hashirama Senju.]
[And you can even focus your attention on what the natural chakra of Sage Mode feels like.]
[to be honest. ]
When he felt the burning passion emanating from his "beloved".
I also felt like laughing.
[Laughing at my past self, I was indeed no match for my best friend, Hashirama Senju.]
[He's still laughing. After acquiring the Rinnegan, no power seems to hold much appeal for him anymore.]
If it were Madara Uchiha himself, he wouldn't have even considered Sage Mode.
But at this moment, he is Uchiha Madara, who has a "beloved".
Now that we have it, we should naturally strive to get it.
[At this moment.]
[By using the Rinnegan.]
[He saw through the trajectory of Hashirama Senju's chakra flow.]
"This is a bit troublesome."
"However... it's not impossible."
He shook his head.
"Sage Mode?"
"Nothing special."
"It seems to be effortless to handle."
[boom--]
[Wood Release: Wood Golem fully appears.]
[Powerful Armor!]
[The moment the wooden figure grasped the lightsaber of the complete Susanoo.]
Hashirama Senju's expression changed slightly.
[Immediately bite your finger until it bleeds.]
"Spiritualism!"
"The Fivefold Rashomon!"
[BOOM—!!!]
Five Rashomon-like gates descended from the sky.
But before the immensely powerful wooden figure...
[A single cut can create a Rashomon-like situation.]
They were completely unable to stop it.
"Looks like we have no choice but to use it."
[The imposing wooden dummy that Hashirama Senju was about to break through the final Rashomon gate.]
But Madara Uchiha stopped after breaking through the last Rashomon gate.
[Stand atop the wooden figure's head.]
[His entire body was covered in the armor of a complete Susanoo.]
"Hash, the hot mom."
"This time."
"I'm destined to win."
"I won't kill you."
"I'll show you... what's wrong with Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Waiting for the ninja world to grow on its own is far too long."
["Sa~"]
["bring it on."]
"It's time for our battle to end."
"So, how can we really say that everything we've done so far has been right?"
"Including now."
[Hashirama Senju clasps his hands together in prayer.]
[Chakra Burst.]
Her long hair stood on end.
"I will do everything in my power to stop you."
"Madara."
"Didn't you ever doubt that you were right, or that you were being deceived?"
[Upon hearing this.]
Madara Uchiha frowned slightly.
He knew very well what his best friend, Hashirama Senju, was like.
In that case...
[It's obviously impossible that this is just hearsay.]
There must have been a discovery.
But at this moment.
Madara Uchiha didn't want to delve into this point.
He did this all for this day.
I've worked hard for most of my life.
He and Hashirama Senju are essentially the same.
They've simply chosen different paths.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
No one can convince anyone else.
[So. ]
[The only way to determine right and wrong is through fists.]
"Isn't it too late to say all this now?"
"Hash, the hot mom."
"There's no other way."
"As expected, I can only explain everything to you after the battle."
With that, Hashirama Senju closed his eyes.
[Chakra gathering complete.]
And at this moment.
Madara Uchiha is also forming hand seals.
[The most basic skill.]
[Sharingan copy.]
At this very moment, Madara Uchiha was in that state.
He has Sage Chakra.
[We also have Wood Release.]
To copy Hashirama Senju's ninjutsu is merely a matter of a single thought.
["Madara!"]
Hashirama Senju let out a low growl.
[Chakra is directly materialized.]
The entire ground was trembling.
[This terrifying amount of chakra.]
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them tailed beasts.
[Boom! B ...
The ground began to shake violently.
[Beneath the two people.]
[A massive amount of chakra was infused into the thick tree roots that had previously collided.]
[at the same time. ]
Madara Uchiha's lips curled slightly.
Although he didn't feel a surge of adrenaline, he was still incredibly excited.
"Hash is hot mom!!!"
The two shouted each other's names.
["Celestial Arts..."]
Hashirama Senju took a deep breath.
[Next.]
[Chakra erupts completely.]
The blue light of chakra was even more dazzling than the Wood Release: Wood Human Susanoo facing them.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!!"
[Boom! B ...
The earth trembled.
Countless wooden hands reached out from the ground.
Then comes the iconic giant Buddha.
[Boom! B ...
[soon. ]
[Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands fully manifests.]
[Hashirama Senju stands atop the Wood Release: Wood Golem.]
[Hands clasped together.]
Her body was trembling slightly.
[Obviously.]
This move.
[It drained most of his chakra in one go.]
Madara Uchiha suddenly laughed.
["I see."]
["So."]
"I'll give it a try too!"
[Click—]
Madara Uchiha bit his finger.
Then he paused, taken aback.
Suddenly I forgot that I am still in a body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Although this resurrected body is already very close to its state before death.
However, right now, the lack of a physical body is a significant limitation for Madara Uchiha.
Many abilities are usable, but there are no conditions to use them.
"Fine."
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
