The battlefield split in two. Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju grew more excited as they fought, taking their battle straight out of Konoha.
Back on the main battlefield, as Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju fought farther and farther away, Jiraiya and the others gained Tobirama Senju's help. The pressure on them eased considerably, finally giving them room to breathe.
