Bang…
Both of them greet each other with a punch to the face. Both Madara and Hashirama fall back after the punch.
"Your punch still packs the same strength as before… weak!"
"And your fists are still as soft as before!"
Haha…
Both of them burst out in laughter.
Sasuke and Itachi stare at their battle with confusion.
"What kind of battle is this? This seems more like a greeting." Sasuke comments.
"It's indeed a greeting!" Mito nods.
"Despite their differences, both Madara and Hashirama are best friends who understand each other. It was only later, due to some incident, that Madara changed drastically." Mito sighs.
"So, this punch was their method of greeting."
During their flight to the battlefield, Tobirama has already shared the history of the Uchiha and Senju clans with the two Uchihas.
After the punch, Hashirama pauses and turns to Mito and others.
"Everyone, leave this gut to me. You should all hurry to the battlefield and help the rest to deal with the Ten Tail's Jinchuriki."
"Alright!" Mito nods and signals to others.
"Will it be alright?" Sasuke glances at Madara, calmly staring at them.
"Won't Madara stop us since it will foil his plan?" He asks.
"He won't!" Mito speaks with confidence.
And true enough, after a single glance, Madara ignores the group and focuses his attention on Hashirama.
"Let's head to the battlefield!" Tobirama speaks.
Sasuke summons a giant eagle, and the group flies towards the battlefield.
Madara and Hashirama glance at their departing back and glance at each other.
"This part of you is the same as before!" Hashirama remarks.
"And you haven't changed a single bit after so many years!" Madara retorts.
Madara riles up his chakra. Blue chakra flame rises from his body and morphs into a massive humanoid.
HAAH…
Hashirama also makes a series of hand signs and claps his hands.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon,"
A massive wooden dragon erupts from the ground. Hashirama leaps on top of the dragon's head and glances at Madara.
Madara's Susanoo summons a massive curved chakra blade and swings it diagonally towards the wooden dragon.
ROOAR…
The dragon releases a roar and opens its mouth to grab the chakra blade. The tail of the dragon sweeps the ground and coils around the Susanoo's leg. With a tug, it throws him off guard and the giant Susanoo falls to the ground, destroying a portion of the nearby forest.
"Wood Style: Thousand Wooden Spear Barrage,"
The several thousand quills on the wooden dragon's back turn taut and fly towards Madara's Susanoo.
"Shinra Tensei,"
Madara repels them all with the Rinnegan's power. The repulsive force of the jutsu also pushes the giant wooden dragon back. It loses its balance and stumbles to the ground.
HAAH…
Madara's wooden dragon wields two massive chakra blades and swings them at the wooden dragon, chopping its tail coiled around his Susanoo.
The Susanoo fuses the two chakra blades to form a single powerful blade. He wields the blade with both hands and performs a vertical slash to chop off the wooden dragon's head.
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Jutsu,"
Two massive wooden hands erupt from the ground and capture the giant chakra blade between their palms. The tail of the wooden dragon regenerates and strikes the abdomen of the humanoid Susanoo.
Rumble… Rumble…
The humanoid Susanoo crashes into a small hill in the distance. The ground around Hashirama trembles and a gigantic wood golem slowly erupts from the ground.
"Yes! Yes! This is the feeling!"
Madara also riles up his chakra. Numerous scales appear on the body of the humanoid Susanoo. The size of the humanoid Susanoo increases a few times and a Tengu-head replaces the previous humanoid head.
Two massive wings appear on the Susanoo's back and a giant armor, bracer, and shoulder pads decorate the Susanoo. A massive katana appears on the waist of Madara's complete body Susanoo.
The giant Susanoo removes the katana from his waist and uses both hands to remove it from the sheath.
The eyes of the Susanoo glow red as he swings the giant chakra katana after removing it from the sheath.
Whoosh…
The giant wooden golem lunges forward and barely dodges the sword strike.
The sword slash cuts through a distance hill range with a single strike. The golem continues to lunge forward and smashes its head into the abdomen of the giant Susanoo.
The head butt forces the Susanoo to take a few steps back. It drops the katana and grabs the body of the wooden golem with its two arms. The massive wings on the Susanoo's back also morph into two giant hands. The hands clenches together to form a fist.
The Susanoo hammers the top of the wooden golem with its fists.
BANG…
The impact of the attack creates a massive dent in the wooden golem's back and pushes it into the ground.
HAAH…
The other two arms of the Susanoo also lift the golem and throw it sideways. The Susanoo lifts its leg and kicks the head of the golem, sending it flying.
The giant wooden golem skids through the forest, leaving a massive trail behind. Between the first encounter of Madara and Hashirama, Madara gains the upper hand.
"It's my win, Hashirama!"
The Susanoo flaps its wings, grabs the katana, and falls from the sky with a vertical slash.
Bang…
-------------------
On the Ten Tail battlefield,
Obito is getting overwhelmed by the continuous attacks of Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Mei. Although none of their attacks deal any significant damage to Obito. He is unable to fight back and can only helplessly take the beating. Obito slowly loses control of his body.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
The five crimson chakra hands appear behind Obito. They smash the group and send them flying in different directions.
Obito flies out of the ground and attempts to escape the battlefield.
"He is running?!" The expression of other shinobi changes as the direction Obito seems to be flying happens to be towards them.
"That's not good!"
Onoki infuses a large amount of chakra into his hand and fires a powerful mass extinction ray towards Obito. Obito senses the incoming danger and protects himself by shielding his body with a shield made of a Truth-Seeking orb.
A blinding light covers the battlefield. The light dies down after a few seconds to reveal a perfectly fine Obito. Some smoke rises from the black shield made of truth-seeking orb.
"No effect at all!" Onoki clicks his tongue.
His most prided jutsu, the particle release, couldn't even as much as faze a hair of the enemy.
Thump…
Suddenly, a violent chakra pulse spreads across Obito's body.
Bleugh… Bleugh…
He pukes out some liquid, and his body suddenly expands into a giant balloon.
BAM…
The floating Obito crashes on the ground.
"W-what's going on?"
Naruto shakes his head to remove the dizzy feeling. He stands up and glances in Obito's direction.
"It's the Ten Tail. The Ten Tail is slowly eroding his thoughts and is trying to escape from the prison of his body." Kurama answers him.
"In that case, what should we do?" Naruto asks.
"This is our opportunity! Both Obito and Ten Tail are weakened due to their inner battle. We can use this chance to seal them both and get rid of the trouble." Kurama suggests to others.
"That's an excellent suggestion!"
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Mei also agree with the Nine-tails.
"Let me prepare a sealing jutsu while you two weaken him further." Jiraiya claps his hands and makes a series of hand signs.
HAA…
Tsunade and Mei glance at each other and charge towards Obito from opposite directions. Naruto also faces him head-on while Jiraiya slowly approaches Obito's body from the back.
"Will they succeed?"
The rest of the shinobis stare at the group with anticipation.
"The future of the Shinobi world lies in their hands. So, they have to!" Onoki clenches his fists.
"OBA-SAN! Below you!"
Suddenly, Naruto yells at Tsunade.
Bang…
A massive scarlet chakra arm erupts from the ground and strikes Tsunade's body. Due to Naruto's timely reminder, Tsunade crosses her arms in front of her body to block the impact of the blow. Still, the powerful attack sends her flying.
Guffaw…
Tsunade pukes a mouthful of blood.
Mei and Jiraiya also dodge to the side and barely avoid the sneak attack.
"His lower body passed through the underground. It's only his upper body above the ground." Jiraiya analyses the situation.
Fwoosh…
Obito's upper body extends like a snake and crawls towards Naruto at a rapid pace.
Two truth-seeking orbs appear in his palm and turn into a sharp spear.
Whoosh…
Before Naruto could dodge the attack, two crimson chakra arms erupt from the ground and grab his legs, holding him in place.
The black spear rapidly approaches Naruto, ready to pierce through his skull.
Whoosh…
Suddenly, a giant purple arm appears out of nowhere and grabs the spear, preventing it from inching further.
"Looks like you still need my help, you knucklehead!"
