Hidden Leaf Village entrance.
Shin'yu was bathed in black mist, his two Mangekyo Sharingan blooming with an eerie red light.
With a thought, Susanoo immediately waved its large hand, grabbing the ninja who couldn't retreat in time.
"Die!"
The bone hand was as large and powerful as a machine, and with just a slight squeeze, a burst of blood mist exploded from between its fingers, leaving only bone fragments and minced meat falling down.
"Damn it!"
"Kill him!"
"Evil Uchiha brat! Prepare to die!"
The crowd was furious, and the second wave of ninjutsu came one after another, mixed with countless Exploding Tag Kunai.
"Boom boom boom—"
Shin'yu ignored the overwhelming attacks, retreating step by step, with Susanoo moving outwards with him. The giant skeleton seemed to be cast from divine iron, indestructible. Despite the indiscriminate bombing, it remained motionless.
When the smoke cleared, the black skeleton was completely unharmed, and even the black aura had not weakened in the slightest, let alone Shin'yu inside.
In contrast, the attacks of the Hidden Leaf Village ninja were weak, like gentle rain, unable to stir up any waves.
Shin'yu controlled Susanoo to punch out, and with a "boom," the Hidden Leaf Village gate instantly fell apart, with shattered wood and stone scattered all over the ground.
"Try this!" He made a hand seal in Susanoo, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Double Style!"
The black skeleton opened its bone hand, and scorching air currents rose, with two huge fireballs condensing in its palm, covering the entire area with high temperature!
Susanoo used the fireballs as weapons, waving and pressing forward, with crimson flames sweeping across the sky. The screams of the crowd were continuous, and no one could stop such an attack.
Tobirama tried to extinguish the fire with Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, but his Water Release disintegrated before it even touched Susanoo, leaving only splashing water droplets, as if encountering some kind of "untouchable" existence.
"Completely immune to my Water Release?" He spat, "What a troublesome ability!"
Shin'yu relied on Susanoo to overpower the crowd, and soon rushed out of Hidden Leaf Village, but the ninja behind him were still chasing relentlessly.
He hardened his heart, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his bloodshot eyes. The giant skeleton twisted and gathered momentum, like a giant ape gone mad, throwing the fireballs in its hand!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two fireballs, one after the other, dragged scorching trails, heading straight for Hidden Leaf Village!
With the blessing of Susanoo's great power, no one could stop the impact of the fireballs, and two straight lines were plowed into the ground!
"Cunning brat!" Tobirama was enraged, and with his hands together, he was about to form the Earth Release seal.
At this moment, a deep and powerful voice came from within the village.
"Summoning Technique: Fivefold Rashomon!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five huge gates of different colors emerged from the ground one after another, with lifelike faces of ghosts and gods carved on them, symbolizing death and hell, stirring up dust all over the sky.
The fireball slammed into the first gate, and the impact, wrapped in flowing flames, spread in all directions. The second fireball followed closely!
"Rumble!"
The Rashomon shattered and collapsed. After breaking through the fourth gate, the fireball finally lost its momentum and slowly dissipated in the air.
In the soaring white smoke, a handsome figure in white fell from the sky, smashing a large pit in front of Hidden Leaf Village, with an awe-inspiring aura and impressive demeanor!
"Lord Hokage!"
"Lord Hashirama!"
"Clan Head, you've finally arrived!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd. Seeing this figure, everyone let go of their hanging hearts.
Even Tobirama was no exception. "Big brother, you've come."
"Yes."
Hashirama nodded, looking at Shin'yu inside the Susanoo, his gaze suddenly sharp. "The farce should end."
Shin'yu chuckled. "Lord Hashirama, won't you ask who I am?"
"All I know is that you are a destroyer!" Hashirama said coldly, "I will never forgive anyone who is an enemy of the village!"
"I wasn't the one who started attacking first... Tsk." Shin'yu paused, because Hashirama had already begun to form hand seals.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
The earth and rocks cracked, and a huge wood dragon meandered over, its size not inferior to Shin'yu's first form Susanoo.
The ground shook violently. Seeing the wood dragon's large mouth biting over, Shin'yu shook his head and smiled, actually taking the initiative to dispel the Susanoo.
The half-body skeleton turned into black gas and dissipated. He closed his eyes, seemingly resigned to fate, waiting for death to arrive.
At that moment, an even thicker blue arm attacked from the side, grabbing the wood dragon's neck, preventing it from advancing no matter how it twisted its body.
The wind howled, and another large hand gently grabbed Shin'yu's body, pulling him behind someone.
Hashirama stared blankly at that person's figure, silently lowered his hands forming seals, and the wood dragon immediately stopped struggling, crashing to the ground with a rumble.
The blue skeleton dissipated inch by inch, and a person with his arms crossed and black hair fluttering appeared in the strong wind.
Uchiha Madara!
Seeing that Lord Madara was able to save the day in time, Shin'yu finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief, taking the opportunity to activate his right eye's dōjutsu, silently reverting himself to his peak state again.
At this time, only 15 seconds remained before the limit of the timeline. Beyond this time, he could only revert to a battle-damaged state.
However, he had a trick up his sleeve here. The reversion target was limited to his own physical state, and did not include clothing and Chakra levels, so he still looked embarrassed, like he had just fought a fierce battle.
In reality, he was full of energy and unharmed.
After all, Lord Madara was present, so he needed to tell a convincing lie.
While he and Hashirama gradually confronted each other, Shin'yu quickly closed his Sharingan, and his eyes became as black as ink.
Just now, opening the Susanoo consumed too much dōjutsu power. The cells throughout his body were aching faintly. No wonder the Second Assistant in the original timeline went blind after not using it for long.
Fortunately, "Ame no Tokotachi" can avoid this problem to the greatest extent, but this means that he cannot fight with others for a long time. The battle must be decided within 5 minutes, otherwise he will not be able to clear the level without injury!
"Madara, what exactly are you trying to do!" Hashirama said solemnly.
Clearly, he had already tied Shin'yu's actions to Madara.
"I'm here to pick up my disciple." Madara flicked his sleeve, shielding Shin'yu behind him.
"What? He's your disciple?" Hashirama frowned, his gaze shifting to Shin'yu, his face displeased as he said, "Do you know that he just killed many of our comrades!"
"Those are your comrades, so what if they're killed?" Madara revealed a disdainful expression.
Hashirama took a step forward, his expression complex and conflicted, "Madara, what exactly do you want to do? I clearly already promised you the position of Second Hokage..." He paused, not wanting to say anything too soft in front of everyone, especially with his sharp-eyed younger brother behind him.
"Come back." After holding it in for a long time, he squeezed out these three words.
Madara maintained his cold arrogance, "I should have told you, I've already begun to doubt your will. Leaving Hidden Leaf Village is to verify whether your path is correct. Do I have to say it again!"
"Madara, sigh, you're still the same as before, no matter how I try to persuade you..." Hashirama sighed helplessly, "At least, leave that child behind."
Madara raised his chin, "Impossible, Shin'yu is a member of my clan, my only acknowledged successor, and also my... close friend. Put away those illusory fantasies!"
"He killed many people!" Hashirama's eyes sharpened, "Your clansmen are all in Hidden Leaf Village, why defend a murderer!"
"Hahahaha, a murderer? To think those words could actually come out of your mouth, how laughable!" Madara laughed loudly, "Am I not a murderer? You, and Tobirama behind you! Are you not murderers?"
"Those guys in the village are no longer worthy of being called Uchiha. With such ignorant and foolish clansmen, I refuse to acknowledge them!" Madara looked towards Hashirama's back, coldly scanning the Uchiha clan, who had suffered heavy casualties.
"Madara, don't be so willful anymore, you know I won't let that child go!"
"You already took away my close friend, and now you want to take away another one!" Madara's face twisted slightly.
Hashirama was stunned, the killing intent around him stagnating, "What!"
"I'm taking him away today, anyone who wants to stop me can try." After saying that, Madara turned around directly, taking Shin'yu and leaving.
Hashirama was still standing there, Madara's words echoing in his mind.
Everyone looked at each other, the Lord Hokage hadn't made a move, so the remaining small fries didn't dare to say a word.
Tobirama quickly caught up to Hashirama, his face anxious, "Brother!"
Hashirama ignored him, shouting from afar, "Madara! You still can't let go of what happened to Izuna!"
Madara paused, smiling sadly, "Hashirama, the close friend I speak of is you."
The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing away the smoke, but Hashirama's heart could not calm down for a long time.
"Brother..." Uchiha Kagami lay weakly on the ground, his small face dirty with tears. He looked at his brother's increasingly distant figure, his tender face covered with bitterness.
Tobirama glanced over inadvertently, but was surprised to find that Uchiha Kagami's eyes had turned blood red at some point, two tomoe clearly visible!
At this moment, the moon was at its fullest.
