Chapter 633 Hashirama and Madara Join Forces
"Phew... You scared me. Madara actually used this move."
As Hashirama Senju gazed at the black sphere that shot skyward from the depths of the earth, he finally let out a long sigh of relief. He recognized that move.
Truth-Seeking Balls – Ultimate energy spheres that can only be condensed by fusing the seven chakra natures to their extreme using Yin-Yang Release. They possess the ability to annihilate all matter and disintegrate all ninjutsu.
Ban just now used it to expand to a size large enough to envelop two people, and forcefully melted a path of life through the depths of the earth's crust.
However, Madara Uchiha did not possess the chakra of the nine tailed beasts. Theoretically, he could not condense Truth-Seeking Balls.
This power was gained after his death. He obtained it in the Pure Land.
In the Pure Land, the strongest is not Madara Uchiha, nor Hashirama Senju, but someone else entirely—the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
The man who pioneered everything during the Ninja Clan era still slumbers in the deepest part of the Pure Land after his death. Hashirama remembers Madara's expression when he first saw the Sage of Six Paths, Susanoo.
Madara Uchiha gazed at the complete Susanoo, which stood over a thousand meters tall, rising from the horizon of the Pure Land to the clouds. The patterns on each piece of armor were a complete history of ninjutsu, and every breath made the air pressure of the entire Pure Land tremble.
Standing before that colossal chakra god that blotted out the sky, Madara Uchiha felt as small as a pebble at the foot of a mountain. It was the first time in his life that he truly understood that in this world, there are always people more powerful than you, and heavens beyond heavens.
Then, this man, who was born with an instinctive desire to pursue the strong, did something that seemed completely unlike anything Uchiha Madara would do. He began to use the eternal nature of the Pure Land, taking advantage of that almost infinite time, to continuously challenge the Sage of Six Paths.
It's not about winning, since he can't beat them, but about learning from every battle.
He studied the fighting style of immortals in the face of challenges, analyzed the condensation principle of the Seeking the Way Jade in the face of failures, and in the cycle of being knocked away and getting back up countless times, he dismantled and rebuilt his combat knowledge system from his previous life inch by inch.
As for the Seeking Truth Jewel, the Sage of Six Paths simply couldn't stand being bothered by it anymore.
He had probably never seen such a persistent junior. He didn't really hit him, nor did he really scold him. Every time he was rejected, the junior would come back the next day. In the end, the Sage of Six Paths gave a portion of his chakra to Madara Uchiha, instructing him to research how to use the Truth-Seeking Balls. Then, he sank into the deepest corner of the Pure Land, finally gaining a period of peace.
"Tobirama, this might cause a lot of commotion." Hashirama turned to Tobirama. "Use the Flying Thunder God Technique to send me to Madara's side, then send Madara's brother away from here. After that, send all the Konoha Anbu and Tsuna who are still on the battlefield away from this area. I'm going to fight alongside Madara."
"That guy doesn't seem to need our help yet."
With his arms crossed, Tobirama Senju coldly glanced at Madara Uchiha, who had just escaped from the Truth-Seeking Balls and was laughing uproariously at the four chakra giants.
Tobirama's attitude towards Madara Uchiha had never been good since Madara was alive. Hashirama had been used to that deadpan face and that reluctant muttering since the Warring States period.
"Tobirama! Stop being stubborn!" Hashirama raised his voice. "You can see it too, Madara's chakra is almost depleted. The Perfect Susanoo is consuming too much energy, and those four big guys on the other side are still standing there guarding him without moving. I can't just leave Madara alone."
"……well."
Tobirama Senju was silent for two seconds, then finally let out a heavy sigh. He lowered his arms from his chest and placed one hand on Hashirama's shoulder.
"Also, you must get along well with Madara's younger brother and not quarrel with him."
On the battlefield, Madara Uchiha stood atop the scorched earth, ravaged by the previous attack by the Four Gods. He looked up at the four chakra giants standing silently before him, his face showing no sign of retreat. But Izuna Uchiha, standing beside him, knew very well that his brother's chakra was running low.
He needed some time to recover his chakra, even if only for a brief moment. Uchiha Izuna also saw the current disadvantage, but he did not back down.
Just like in the Warring States period, whether it was when he first grasped a kunai on the banks of the Naka River or during the most brutal battle between the Uchiha and Senju clans, he always obeyed his brother's orders.
Even if Madara Uchiha ordered him to rush into a battlefield where death was certain, he would turn around and charge in without hesitation.
"Ban! I'm here to help you!"
A loud, booming voice erupted from beside Madara. Madara turned his head and saw a face so radiant it could have stunned the enemy army in the Warring States period. Hashirama Senju stood beside him, hands on his hips, eyes shining.
"Hashirama Senju?!" Before Madara could even respond, Izuna Uchiha exploded. He instinctively stepped forward, blocking Madara and Hashirama, pointing a finger at Hashirama, his voice filled with undisguised hostility, "What are you doing here! We don't need your interference! This is a battle between my brother and me!"
"Uchiha Izuna, don't move."
Then, a voice that Izuna hated most rang in his ear. Tobirama Senju appeared expressionlessly beside Izuna, and before the other could react, he placed his hand firmly on Izuna's shoulder.
"I said! Don't move!" Tobirama's tone suddenly became harsher. Izuna's body had already instinctively activated his Sharingan, and his fingers had gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, but Tobirama was not buying it. "With your current chakra levels, what do you think you can do even if you stay here? Do you have a way to quickly replenish your chakra? If not, shut up and get out of here."
Uchiha Izuna instinctively turned his gaze to Madara. Uchiha Madara stood still, watching as Izuna was held down by Tobirama Senju's shoulders and unable to move. He slightly turned his head, showing no intention of intervening.
In other words, Madara is no longer opposed to fighting alongside Hashirama Senju. Izuna gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound, and abruptly turned his head away. "...Tch."
But he didn't struggle anymore, allowing Tobirama to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique. The next second, the two of them disappeared from the battlefield.
"Just this once, Hashirama."
Madara Uchiha watched his younger brother disappear from the battlefield, then turned his gaze to the man beside him who had a bright smile on his face.
"Okay! Madara, let's go together!" Hashirama Senju didn't waste any more words. He took a step forward and stood beside Madara Uchiha.
Then he clasped his hands together abruptly, and chakra surged from his heart throughout his body. The next moment, black sage eyeshadow appeared at the corner of his eyes.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
