It was as though,
some prankster had drawn a line across it.
But,
that tiny scratch was widening at a considerable speed.
"What's going on?"
Hashirama Senju looked puzzled.
"Damn it, Hashi..."
Madara Uchiha held his Gunbai across his body,
and was just about to say something,
when he suddenly fell silent...

The watching ninja chattered among themselves. It was like watching an entire mountain get sliced apart in an instant—a spectacular sight indeed.
Hashirama Senju stared at the
