Madara Uchiha fell silent for a moment.
Although Hashirama Senju had already explained the general idea earlier.
Deep down, he still felt that the chances were slim.
Madara Uchiha gave a soft snort but did not voice any objection.
"Do as you please. I'm only here to watch the show anyway."
"Haha, then thanks for your support, Madara!"
Hashirama Senju laughed heartily.
As though he had not heard the tsundere undertone in Madara's words at all.

What had once been a glorious civilization was now nothing more than ruins.

The three warships hovered above a relatively flat open area in an abandoned city.
As the destroyer landed with a thunderous roar, it kicked up dust that filled the sky.
The two frigates remained floating overhead, maintaining vigilance.

Their movements were sharp and efficient, their coordination seamless, and they quickly established a perimeter.
"Roar—!"
The mutated monsters wandering nearby caught the scent of living humans
