Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

The Land of Fire, Kamiyabi Bridge.

The shadows of the trees sway, and the moonlight waves are light.

Midnight is approaching, and the air is mixed with cool moisture. A few seagulls, bathed in moonlight, are circling along the coast, making desolate and lonely cries.

Outside a secret cave on the shore, Uchiha Madara was giving his final instructions.

"No need to say more. Your mission is to guard the base and not let anyone find this place."

"Lord Madara..." Uchiha Guang stretched out his hand tremblingly, his almond-shaped eyes were misty and he looked pitiful.

There was a pleading look in her eyes, and it was unclear whether she wanted to ask him to stay or to go with her, but no matter what it was, she ended up fleeing under Ban's cold gaze.

"Yeah." She said weakly and nodded slightly.

"Don't try to find us, and don't take any action until we contact you."

"Ah."

Ban turned around and faced the sea. The sea was surging with waves, and his expression was neither sad nor happy.

At this moment, he was ready to go, with a round fan on his back, a scroll on his waist, a sickle polished to a shine, and dark red armor reflecting the moonlight.

The sea breeze blew on his face, and his long hair, like a waterfall, rose and fell in the wind.

"I know you are very upset, but this is the best arrangement."

Madara's tone softened unexpectedly. "With the Nine-Tails here, I won't have any shortcomings in chakra, and your eyesight... has deteriorated a lot."

"Ah!" Guang opened his eyes wide in surprise. In his blurry vision, Madara's back and the moonlight merged together.

"I..." She clenched her fists unconsciously and opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

Tears slid down silently, splashing in circles on the rocks.

"Ugh……"

Not far away, Shen Yu sighed.

He stood alone on the other side, with his back against an old palm tree. The slender leaves were shaded by the moonlight, casting long, mottled and intertwined shadows on his fair face.

Like Madara, he is now fully armed. In addition to his original black tights, he wears a vest of soft armor, shoulder guards on both arms, a long sword on his back, and his medium-short hair is neatly tied behind his head.

Speaking of which, his current outfit is actually quite similar to the Crimson Moon Weasel on the night of the genocide in the original time and space.

Looking at the proud and lonely figure of Madara, his heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.

If his guess was correct, the outcome of the final battle between Madara and Hashirama would not be much different from the original time and space.

Although people always say that these two are the pinnacle of the ninja world, the only one who truly stands at the top is Hashirama Senju.

This point is clear to Madara.

Speaking of which, there were only three real battles between Madara and Hashirama in the original time and space. Although the reasons for the battles were different, the results were the same.

The first time, Madara, who had transplanted his brother Izuna's eyes and awakened the Eternal Mangekyō, fought against Hashirama and was ultimately defeated by him, thus ending the Warring States Period;

The second time, Madara, who had been away from Konoha for many years, returned to Konoha with the Nine-Tails. Hashirama thought that Madara really wanted to destroy the village they had founded, so he got really angry and killed Madara with a single blow.

The third time, the two, both in the Impure World Body, fought a decisive battle on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Even with the Samsara Eye, Yin-Yang Release, infinite chakra, and immortal body, Madara was still suppressed by Hashirama and trapped in the Myojinmon.

You never know what other tricks Hashirama has waiting for you. There is only one “God of Ninja”.

But Madara's goal this time was not actually to destroy Konoha. His purpose was just to get a piece of Hashirama's flesh and blood.

The reason why he acted as if he was falling into the abyss and wanted to destroy everything was just to provoke Hashirama to fight with all his strength in a fair fight.

Many times, Shen Yu couldn't help but think:

What if Madara could put aside his attitude, not use such extreme methods, and instead ask Hashirama in a gentle tone?

Would Hashirama simply agree to his request and this battle could be avoided?

But this is impossible, Madara has his own pride, which is the self-esteem of being a strong man.

"Shenyu, let's go."

A deep voice came from a distance, and Shen Yu responded immediately:

"it is good."

With a "whoosh", his figure disappeared, leaving only a leaf slowly falling in its place.

In the seventh year of Konoha, on a summer night.

For Konoha Village, this was destined to be an extraordinary night.

……

"Psychic!!!"

Accompanied by a burst of smoke rising into the sky, the huge body of the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared outside the Konoha Village. In the raging wind, the nine long tails stretched out freely under the full moon, and the roar that was a hundred times more ferocious than that of a wild beast rushed straight into the sky and rolled like thunder.

"Ding!!!"

The round fan and the heavy sword collided fiercely, and the two figures fighting each other separated into two under the moonlight and fell backwards at the same time.

The Nine-Tailed Fox roared, giant vines entangled, and powerful shock waves madly destroyed the land. This was a battle that ordinary ninjas could not intervene in.

Madara came with great force, his chakra exploded, he activated his powerful outfit, Susanoo, and with the blessing of Susanoo, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a hundred feet tall, much taller than a mountain.

Susanoo originally materialized huge chakra to form a burly god of war for fighting. When he used Susanoo, which symbolizes destruction and ruin, as armor on the tailed beasts, the destructive power it caused was nothing short of a natural disaster!

Hashirama admired his old friend's trick, but this was not a duel, but a life-and-death battle! He was more worried that the village would be affected by the battle.

So he fought as he walked, silently leading Madara and Nine-Tails to the seaside.

Madara also took advantage of the situation and began the pursuit tacitly. After all, he did not come here to destroy Konoha. His target from the beginning to the end was only Hashirama.

Shen Yu was quietly lurking in the dark, far behind them, always keeping a distance from the two great gods.

His mission was to retrieve the Nine-Tailed Fox, and all he had to do was wait quietly for the battle to end.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly. Through his mental perception, he discovered that many people were chasing out from the direction of Konoha Village and were following behind him stealthily.

"What on earth are these guys planning?"

Just as he was thinking, a red beam of light flashed and shot into the distant island.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball lit up on the island, as if the rising sun, the entire land shook, the dazzling flames illuminated the entire forest, and a huge explosion resounded through the world!

"This... is this the battle between them?" Shen Yu leaned against a big tree in a daze, feeling a slight chill on his back.

At that moment just now, he saw clearly that the red beam of light was clearly a Tailed Beast Ball blessed with the power of Susanoo!

He couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. Fortunately, he didn't let the Nine-Tailed Fox use the Tailed Beast Ball at the beginning, otherwise, he would not be able to block it with his current strength!

Looking into the distance, under the cover of billowing smoke, a faint blue light and the burly outline of the Wood Giant could be seen. The sound of trees cracking mixed with the roar of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

In the center of the battlefield.

Uchiha Madara stood condescendingly in the Power Suit Susanoo, "Hashirama, it's been a while since I had a serious fight with you. You should know... I'm not the same as before, right?"

Hashirama's face was solemn. He clapped his hands together, accumulating chakra while trying to give a final consolation: "Everything we have done so far, our efforts, do you want them to go to waste? Madara!"

He raised his head and faced the huge and majestic Susanoo, "There is no benefit in fighting between you and me! This battle will only hurt the village and the ninjas, and will only insult our brothers and companions!"

Madara stared down at him, his expression growing colder, "You... are lecturing me?"

"I don't want to kill you!" Hashirama's eyes were still sincere.

"You mean you can kill me at any time?"

"No, I mean...we are friends!"

Ban's face twitched, and some emotion flashed in his eyes. He said viciously: "I have already... fought to the other side!"

As if to confirm his attitude, the Nine-Tailed Fox under his feet also roared towards the sky, with waves of sound rolling!

Hashirama froze, his thoughts instantly pulled back to decades ago. It was a sunny morning, and two innocent boys were competing with each other, throwing stones at each other. The high-spirited boy gradually overlapped with the figure of the person in front of him, but no matter what he did, they could not reconcile, and finally shattered in a roar.

"There's no other way." Hashirama closed his eyes in disappointment. When he opened them again, all the reluctance and sincerity in his eyes disappeared, replaced by decisiveness.

And...the black facial lines that contain rich natural energy!

"Immortal Technique——Really Thousands of Hands!!!"

Hashirama shouted loudly, and all the chakra in his body turned into light visible to the naked eye. Amid the sound of huge trees crushing down, a thousand-armed wooden Buddha that was several hundred feet tall rose from the ground and stood between heaven and earth. Under the moonlight, a huge shadow completely enveloped the land!

"I'm on it, Madara!!!"

"Come on, Hashirama!!!"
