Hashirama Isn't Here, I'll Fight You!

Gu Rong's expression suddenly turned grave as he said in a low voice, "The battle is about to begin..."

He had also watched Rota spar with Chen Xin. Overall, Rota had not given him such an oppressive feeling.

Although Chen Xin had still lost, the shock it gave him was far less terrifying than what Uchiha Madara had brought. As had been said before, the nature of the two battles was different, so the impressions they left were naturally different as well.

Uchiha Madara should be able to force out all of Rota's strength...

Gu Rong pondered silently. He also wanted to witness Rota's true strength with his own eyes.

Before encountering Rota and Madara, he had been completely content with his current state. Only after witnessing their power did even Gu Rong have to sigh in realization. Before true experts, his strength was simply not worth mentioning!

Gu Rong fixed his gaze on the two figures facing off in the distance. Though things appeared calm now, once they truly began fighting, the commotion would surely be no less than before.

"Madara, is it? I've heard your name before! How about a wager? If I win, you are not allowed to make another move against the Heaven Dou Empire or the surrounding factions. You only enjoy fighting anyway, don't you? I'll satisfy you!" Rota said to Uchiha Madara in a firm, resounding voice.

Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and laughed loudly. "What harm is there in agreeing? I, Uchiha Madara, recognize only Hashirama Senju as an opponent. Can you reach his level?"

When Uchiha Madara mentioned Hashirama, everyone present felt a little wistful. If Hashirama had been here, Madara probably would not have been so arrogant...

"Hashirama isn't here, but I think I can still give you a satisfying fight!"
