The explosion also affected Madara Uchiha, who had been caught off guard.
The sudden shockwave made Madara Uchiha's gigantic Susanoo sway, leaving it briefly stiffened.
Naruto had long since used the tail of his Armored Susanoo to block the impact.
Before his opponent could react, Naruto seized the chance and swung his greatsword down upon Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.
Boom!
The powerful blow sent Madara Uchiha flying backward, carving two shocking wounds into the mountain-sized Susanoo.
"Whew—"
"I never expected the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball to be this powerful. Madara, did you use the wrong method when you controlled the Nine-Tails back then?"
Hashirama Senju came to Madara Uchiha's side. Though he had been beaten badly, he could not feel pain, so he was still in a fairly good mood and could even joke with Madara Uchiha.
"Hmph! Hashirama Senju, no one will think you're mute if you keep quiet!"
Hashirama Senju's words only made Madara Uchiha even angrier. He snorted coldly.
"If I weren't below my peak, how could I be in such a sorry state?"
"Uh... I feel like even at our peak, we still wouldn't be his match one-on-one."
Hashirama Senju was blunt by nature. He did not find it particularly shameful to be inferior to someone else. He was already dead, so what was there to care about?
"Shut up!"
Even Hashirama Senju had never seen him at his true peak. By the time he awakened the Rinnegan, the other man had long been dead.
"You two, if this is all the strength you have, then today's battle ends here."
Naruto stood still as several chains shot out behind him. If Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju had no other tricks left, he intended to seal them away directly.
These chains were not being wielded by him. Kushina,
