Rono vs. the Kage-Level Elite

"He actually defeated Madara!"

Hashirama Senju froze, then his expression turned utterly grave.

No one knew Madara's strength better than Hashirama Senju.

Even if they were smashed to pieces, they could quickly recover.

"I understand, Grandpa."

Tsunade nodded.

"Everyone, fall back. Don't get in their way."
