"Take this, Hashirama!"
Madara raised his hands, his index fingers pointing at each other, thumbs upward, and the other three fingers overlapping in the classic hand seal for Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.
"I'll handle it, brother!"
Senju Tobirama, not to be outdone, quickly formed the seals for a water technique to counter the impending attack. This time, he vowed not to lose, unlike his previous clash with Izuna's fire jutsu.
"Water Release: Water Surge!"
Tobirama unleashed one of his most powerful water techniques, creating a massive waterspout that dwarfed the combined efforts of multiple Water Release users in later eras.
However, Madara's attack wasn't an ordinary fire technique.
"Sage Art: Fire Release—Great Fire Annihilation!"
A ferocious sea of flames erupted from Madara's mouth, colliding directly with Tobirama's waterspout.
The intense clash generated scorching steam, blistering the skin of any ninja who ventured too close. The ninjas behind Tobirama shouted for their comrades to retreat as the steam's heat reached unbearable levels.
Madara smirked, narrowing his eyes. "Let's turn up the heat!"
With a surge of chakra, the flames roared to new heights, pushing back Tobirama's waterspout.
"Can he really increase its power mid-attack?!" Tobirama exclaimed.
"Wood Release: Ghost-Face Shield!"
A massive wooden grimace shield rose from the ground, shielding Tobirama from the encroaching flames.
Looking at Hashirama's back as he stepped forward, Tobirama murmured, "I'm sorry, brother."
"Don't worry about it, Tobirama!" Hashirama laughed heartily. Then, with his voice booming across the battlefield, he shouted, "Everyone, charge! I'll handle Madara and Izuna!"
Izuna noticed the effect immediately. The morale of the Senju and Uzumaki clans surged, their battle cries echoing in response to Hashirama's commanding presence.
"As expected of Uzumaki Naruto's previous life," Izuna thought to himself, watching Hashirama rally the troops. "His talk-no-jutsu was already this strong."
As the Senju-Uzumaki forces launched a full-scale assault, Izuna turned to Madara. "It's starting, brother."
Madara responded without hesitation, "Let's go, Izuna!"
Izuna bit his finger, swiftly forming seals before pressing his hand to the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A massive plume of smoke erupted, accompanied by a deafening roar. The resulting storm cleared the smoke, revealing a towering, feline figure wreathed in blue flames.
"It's the Two-Tails!" Uzumaki Guanghai shouted. "Everyone from the Uzumaki Clan, join me in sealing Uchiha Izuna and the Two-Tails! Prepare the sealing jutsu!"
"So that's the Two-Tails Elder Guanghai mentioned," Hashirama said curiously, "the one who fought alongside Izuna at Mountain Pass."
"Now's not the time for admiration, brother," Tobirama interrupted. "The Uzumaki Clan's sealing jutsu is perfect for restraining tailed beasts. We should focus on defeating Madara and the main Uchiha forces first, then move to support Guanghai."
However, dark blue chakra flared from Madara, forming a humanoid Susanoo. With legs now fully developed, the colossal Susanoo stood at nearly fifty meters. Its fiery gaze was locked on the Uzumaki forces.
Madara dropped Susanoo's massive feet before Guanghai and his group with a thunderous crash, his arms crossed confidently. "If you want to pass, you'll have to get through me first."
"Madara can still use Susanoo?" Hashirama muttered in disbelief. "It seems he really has recovered. And there's no sign of the pain he used to suffer. Could he have overcome the Mangekyō Sharingan's drawbacks?"
"Brother, stop focusing on Madara!" Tobirama shouted. "Their strategy is clear—Madara will hold off the Uzumaki while Izuna handles the main battlefront. We need to protect the Uzumaki forces so they can seal the Two-Tails!"
"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Chains!"
Golden chains erupted from the ground as Uzumaki Guanghai activated one of the Uzumaki Clan's most powerful techniques, aimed at binding the Two-Tails.
But Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan spun, tracking the chains' trajectory. With swift movements, Susanoo intercepted the attack, gripping the chains in its massive hands.
"I won't repeat myself," Madara said coldly. "If you want to pass, you'll go through me first."
Meanwhile, atop the Two-Tails, Izuna smirked. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
The Two-Tails growled, glancing at Izuna. "I thought you'd forgotten about me."
Izuna gestured toward Hashirama. "See that man? He's the one who will hunt down all of you tailed beasts in the future."
The Two-Tails turned its gaze toward Hashirama, sensing his immense chakra. "That's… a human? What an absurd amount of chakra!"
"Human, yes. Ordinary, no," Izuna replied before forming a one-handed seal. "Let's go, Two-Tails!"
Blue-green flames surged around the Two-Tails, coalescing into a massive fireball.
"Fireball Jutsu: Hellfire Catastrophe!"
The Two-Tails launched the attack, a fiery sphere crackling with energy.
"Fire Release: Added Life!" Izuna shouted. The hellfire merged with the black flames of Amaterasu, creating a devastating new technique.
"Fire Release: Amaterasu-Hellfire Catastrophe!"
"It's fire that won't go out!" shouted one of the Senju.
"Earth Release! Everyone, fortify our defenses!" Senju Yunjian commanded, slamming his hands to the ground. "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Thick earthen walls rose to block the flames, but the fused fire technique was relentless.
"Wood Release: Double Coil Encirclement!"
Hashirama reinforced the walls with vines, strengthening their defenses. Despite this, the black and blue-green flames burned on, refusing to dissipate.
"Thank you, Deputy Chief," Yunjian said.
Hashirama nodded. "Yunjian, focus on Madara and the Uchiha forces. Leave Izuna to me."
Yunjian reluctantly agreed. "Yes, sir."
"Tobirama, I need you to—"
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Izuna's voice rang out from beyond the barrier. Moments later, a jet-black sphere of compressed chakra blasted through the earth walls, expanding into a devastating shockwave.
Hashirama's pupils contracted.
"Wood Release: Tree-World Great Wall!"
