All Human Civilization Would Come to an End

"So I, Madara Uchiha, have lost? To some red-haired brat..."

As Madara Uchiha fell, he unwillingly reached out with his sensory abilities to locate Kanami.

Sensing Kanami's cold gaze, he gave a faint smile.

What a terrifying brat. With power to rival Hashirama's, I, Madara Uchiha, declare you the strongest!

Just as he stopped sensing to conserve his chakra and prepared to fall to his death, Kanami brought his hands together.

"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees."

Countless trees sprang up beneath Madara Uchiha, rapidly sprouting dense, supple branches and leaves.

Thud.

Madara Uchiha landed among the trees, bounced from branch to branch, and finally reached the ground safely.

He had picked up a few scrapes, but he was alive.

Realizing he hadn't died, Madara Uchiha switched his sensory abilities back on in surprise.

Everywhere within range, he sensed trees. He had even snapped several branches beneath him.

He immediately understood what had happened.

A smile tugged at his lips. "Interesting. He actually saved me."

Whoosh—

A red-haired boy leaped onto a branch above him and stood there, watching him quietly.

"I lost."

Madara Uchiha hated admitting it, but he had no choice. He had lost completely, both in strength and in composure.

"You're nothing like Hashirama in temperament, but sometimes what you do reminds me of him. You..."

He smiled and said nothing more.

Kanami jumped down from the tree and placed a Flying Thunder God Technique mark on Madara Uchiha.

"Let's go. I'm taking you back to the village."

Kanami took Madara Uchiha with him and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Whoosh—

The next second, they appeared beside Nagato.

"Kanami, are you hurt?"

Nagato asked with concern.

Kanami shook his head. "No. Do you want to come back to Konoha with me for now?"

Nagato
