The Tie and the Surrender

The battle between Rinnegan Madara and Tenseigan Tobirama lasted for over two hours.

Not only was the entire Kirigakure destroyed, but the surrounding area, spanning more than a thousand square kilometers, was completely leveled...

The range and intensity of the battle were even more terrifying than those of the Battle of the Valley of the End between Madara and Hashirama!

In the end, though, neither of them managed to win.

The main reason was that Tobirama had run out of steam.

After more than two hours of high-intensity combat, Tobirama was nearly out of Chakra.

There was no helping it.

Tenseigan Chakra Mode consumed far too much Chakra.

Even the powerful ocular prowess that came with the Tenseigan couldn't withstand such wanton expenditure...

Tobirama had a substantial amount of Chakra himself, but compared with the absurd reserves of a Tailed Beast or his Elder Brother Hashirama, he still fell far short.

He was even further behind Madara.

After such a long and fierce battle, Tobirama was ultimately the first to run dry.

"Hahaha! You're pathetic, Tobirama! What's wrong? Can't keep going? Look at you, all worn out. You don't have nearly the stamina Hashirama does..."

Madara attacked relentlessly, taunting him at every turn.

Tobirama had been forced to deactivate Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and his face looked haggard. He was clearly on the verge of total exhaustion.

But even if his body had gone weak, Tobirama would never let his tongue falter.

"Bullshit! Evil Madara Uchiha, you're not invincible anymore. I just wasn't prepared this time..."

"I only wish your strength were as solid as your mouth. Unfortunately, you're still nowhere near strong enough to beat me!"

Madara kept taunting him. He loved seeing Tobirama so frustrated—unable to stand him, yet unable to defeat him.

Tenseigan Tobirama was already plenty powerful,
