Madara and Hashirama's Decisive Battle

"Fire Style, Great Flame Myriad Flower Break!"

Upon the barren earth, Uchiha Madara leaped high into the air. Countless fireballs fell from the sky like meteors, blasting one deep crater after another into the ground amid thunderous explosions.

The Nine-Tails, clad in Susanoo armor, roared as it wielded two blue Susanoo divine swords, battling the massive Wood Human.

From afar, it looked like an ancient armored beast dueling a giant wooden figure. In the Wood Human's hands, a gleaming greatsword swung without pause.

"Wood Style, Wood Flower Vine Technique!"

While the two colossal beings battled below, Senju Hashirama formed hand seals in the sky. Countless flowers and trees burst from the earth, blossoms blooming in an instant as innumerable flower vines surged upward and collided head-on with the falling rain of fire.

The Uchiha Gunbai and Kama swept through the air, only to meet a longsword gleaming with cold light. Two black figures continuously crossed and separated beneath the night sky, the ringing clash of metal echoing without end.

"Huff... huff..." Uchiha Madara flipped through the air and landed atop the Nine-Tails' head, gasping heavily. Even with his stamina and chakra, he had begun to feel exhausted after fighting for so long.

The Nine-Tails shoved the Wood Human away with both hands and quickly leaped backward. The Three Tomoe in its eyes looked eerie and ghostly as it kept snarling toward the Wood Human.

Senju Hashirama also landed atop the Wood Human's head, breathing lightly. The steel-forged ninja blade in his hand was already covered in nicks, so he casually tossed it aside and drew another from a scroll.

"Madara, are you satisfied now that things have come this far? Are you still going to continue?" Hashirama asked in a deep voice after taking two breaths to steady himself.
