After all, no one had ever been able to make Madara feel pressure the way Sasuke did.
And now, Madara couldn't help but want to take action himself.
He wanted to personally test just how strong Sasuke truly was.
However, at that moment, a sharp whistling sound echoed from the distance. In an instant, a figure crashed down right in front of Madara.
Seeing this figure, a smile spread across Madara's face.
As the dust settled, the person revealed in the smoke was none other than Hashirama Senju.
Looking at Madara, Hashirama's expression was one of surprise.
"Madara, even you..."
As he spoke, Hashirama's body involuntarily turned around.
And in that moment, Hashirama noticed something different about Madara.
Although both of them had been reanimated through the Impure World Reincarnation, Madara didn't seem to be under anyone's control.
What... exactly was going on?
This thought made Hashirama feel uneasy.
"Madara! You're not being controlled"
Just as Hashirama was about to ask, Madara suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
"Hashirama! I never thought we'd have the chance to fight side by side again!"
These words caused Hashirama's expression to shift slightly.
He furrowed his brows, as if recalling memories of the past when he and Uchiha Madara had fought together, unstoppable.
Back then, the two most powerful clans in the shinobi world, the Uchiha and the Senju, had joined forces.
Together, they had no equal.
No matter who the enemy was, they had prevailed.
In the end, they had brought peace to the war-torn world and established the mighty Hidden Leaf Village.
But! In the end, they had gone their separate ways, each pursuing their own goals and ideals.
They had never fought together again.
And now!
Thanks to the Impure World Reincarnation, they had the chance to stand side by side once more.
For a moment, Hashirama's emotions were complicated.
However, his feelings didn't affect his ability to fight.
After all, Hashirama wasn't in control of his own actions.
He turned his gaze toward Sasuke and immediately unleashed a jutsu.
In an instant, Wood Release erupted, forming massive wooden vines that surged toward Sasuke, aiming to crush him.
Sasuke raised his hand, and a wave of Wood Release surged forth in response.
The two Wood Release techniques collided, their vines entangling and clashing, creating a deafening roar.
Madara, watching Hashirama take action, was surprised to see Sasuke holding his own against Hashirama's Wood Release.
This was truly unexpected.
Had Sasuke really integrated Wood Release to such an extent?
He didn't even have the Gedo Statue. How had he managed this?
But now wasn't the time to ponder such questions.
Madara was visibly excited. "Hashirama, let's fight together once more!"
As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release"
"Great Fire Annihilation!"
Whoosh!
Boom!
A massive wave of fire surged forward like a tidal wave, roaring toward Sasuke.
This was the same Fire Release technique that had once overwhelmed countless shinobi with its sheer power.
Even now, its might was astonishing.
The moment it was unleashed, all the shinobi were stunned. A Fire Release jutsu of this magnitude was terrifying!
However, facing Madara's Fire Release, Sasuke calmly countered with Water Release.
"Water Release Great Waterfall Technique!"
A torrent of water erupted, crashing into the flames.
The collision of fire and water created a thick mist that instantly enveloped the battlefield.
Madara glanced at Hashirama, and Hashirama immediately understood his intent.
Having fought side by side countless times in the past, they didn't need words to communicate.
In an instant, Hashirama dashed forward, his body shooting like a rocket through the mist.
The two of them moved swiftly, one from the left and the other from the right, closing in on Sasuke.
Thud! Thud!
Their attacks were blocked by Sasuke.
Despite standing still and with the mist obscuring his vision, Sasuke's Lightning Release: Chakra Sensory Network allowed him to detect their chakra fluctuations.
Moreover, in Sage Mode, Sasuke's sensory abilities were heightened to an extraordinary level.
Even with the mist blocking his sight, he could easily pinpoint their exact locations.
Although their attacks were blocked, both Madara and Hashirama were exceptional in taijutsu. Their coordinated assault left Sasuke with no openings to counterattack.
For the moment, he could only maintain a stalemate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of intense combat echoed as the three of them clashed, breaking out of the mist.
Wherever they passed, the ground cracked and shattered.
Both Hashirama and Madara's attacks complemented each other perfectly, leaving no gaps.
Even if one of them left an opening, the other would immediately cover it, leaving Sasuke no room to exploit.
Even his counterattacks were effortlessly neutralized by the two.
Watching Sasuke being pushed back, it seemed as though he was being overwhelmed.
The allied shinobi forces were utterly shocked.
It was as if they were witnessing something unbelievable.
Since Sasuke had entered the battlefield, no one had ever been able to pressure him to this extent in taijutsu.
But these two were no ordinary shinobi.
One was Uchiha Madara, the legendary man.
The other was Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.
Together, they were truly a force to be reckoned with.
"Impressive taijutsu! Kid, you must have the Straight Tomoe Sharingan, right? Not bad!"
Madara said, suddenly stopping as his Susanoo erupted around him.
In an instant, the curved blade of the Susanoo slashed toward Sasuke, its speed so fast it was almost impossible to follow.
At the same time, Sasuke activated his own Susanoo.
Clang!
The sound of blades colliding echoed as the two Susanoo clashed, their strength evenly matched.
But at the same moment, a massive wooden giant rose from the ground behind Sasuke, leaping over the Susanoo and delivering a powerful punch toward him.
The wooden giant and the Susanoo attacked in unison, like an amplified version of Hashirama and Madara themselves.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.
At the same time, another wooden giant emerged from the ground in front of Sasuke's Susanoo, grabbing the fist of the airborne wooden giant and slamming it to the ground.
With a heavy stomp, the wooden giant was crushed.
Boom! Boom!
The battle between the three had escalated into a clash of wooden giants and Susanoo.
The storm of their combat grew even more terrifying, the sheer scale of their attacks awe-inspiring.
Even though Sasuke was controlling both a wooden giant and a Susanoo simultaneously, he didn't fall behind.
However, the combined strength of Madara and Hashirama was indeed beyond Sasuke's expectations.
Being able to hold his own against them was already an impressive feat.
"Hashirama! It seems your skills haven't dulled much!"
Hashirama chuckled, turning to Madara. "Your reflexes, on the other hand, seem a bit slower!"
Madara smirked. "I'm still getting used to this body. It won't take long to adjust."
