Valley of the End

Senju Hashirama reacted quickly, then blocked with his scythe.

At that very moment, Uchiha Madara raised his head and bit down on Uchiha Madara Senju Hashirama's shoulder, tearing off a chunk of flesh.

The moment he bit down, Uchiha Madara revealed a slight smile.

At that moment, Uchiha Madara felt a mysterious Chakra emerge within his body, which surged directly into his eyes. Chakra instantly activated Ninjutsu Uchiha Madara his eyes.

At that very moment, Senju Hashirama arrived, wielding his scythe.

Uchiha Madara gave a cold smile, then shouted, "Hashirama!"

Senju Hashirama, his face stern and his eyes filled with murderous intent, stared at Uchiha Madara and shouted, "Madara!"

The two shouted, and then instantly clashed, their misty vapors colliding and producing a clanging sound.

At that moment, the two of them were stunned.

Uchiha Madara turned around, a silent smile playing on his lips, and said, "Hashirama."

The Hashirama on the ground have been cut in two.

But the next moment, a silver blade pierced straight through Uchiha Madara's abdomen.

Uchiha Madara paused slightly, looking at Hashirama who had been cut in two, and couldn't help but say, "This is Wood Clone, you..."

Senju Hashirama appeared behind Uchiha Madara, his serious eyes radiating killing intent. With a chilling gaze from the two, he coldly declared, "Madara, Konoha has been established. This is my dream. I don't know what your dream is, but anyone who dares to harm the village I protect, no matter who they are—even if they are my friend, my relative, my family, my child—I will personally kill them. This is my resolve to protect the village."

Uchiha Madara smiled calmly, then let out a maniacal laugh, "Hashirama, you've made your decision. But one day you'll regret it. One day you'll see the darkness of existence. However, I hope you can live to see that day."

Kangetsu, my brother, I really want to go back to the way things were before. There was Meigetsu, there was Izuna, and there was you. But all of that is over. Meigetsu is dead, Izuna is dead, and now I am dead too.

Of all the brothers from before, only you remain now. Carry the belief of the three of us brothers, live on, live on!!!

The mournful roar, tinged with a faint warmth, finally gave way to a smile before the eyes slowly closed.

Senju Hashirama drew his blade, his eyes blurred, whether from rain or tears, it was hard to tell. He knelt Senju Hashirama Uchiha Madara, then looked up at the sky, his cold face revealing a deep, unreadable expression.

The Kangetsu in the sky fell silent, silently watching all this, a tear streaming down its cheek. It stared at the corpse lying on the ground, speechless.

"Madara, you're gone too. The next time we meet will be many years later. But you can still see it, while the Meigetsu can't. I can only see his eyes. Izuna might also be resurrected. But all of this is just as Madara said, wanting to go back to the past, to the past, heh heh."

Kangetsu thought to herself, gripping the weapon tightly in her hand, looking at Senju Hashirama as if he were a dead man.
