"Okay, you two."
A voice that was very familiar to both of them broke in, interrupting the undercurrent of verbal exchanges between the old enemies.
The speaker is Uzumaki Ashina standing on another Gold General chess position.
The former patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan had white hair and white beard, and a kind face that revealed majesty.
He smoothed his long snow-white beard, glanced at Tajima and Butsuma and said slowly:
"No matter what grudges we had during our lives, now that we are standing on this Chessboard, we are all imprinted with the rules and restrictions of 'Six Paths·Life-and-Death Shogi'.
Our actions, strength, and even part of our will must obey the arrangements of the chess game and the general's command."
He paused and looked past the numerous chess pieces to the young man standing on the opposite side of the chessboard, with flying blond hair and an aura as blazing and unfathomable as the sun.
"Besides, no matter how powerful your sons Hashirama, Tobirama, or Madara, Izuna are..."
Uzumaki Ashina's tone became meaningful.
"It doesn't change a fact.
The blond Young Naruto opposite is now one of the real backbone and chess players on Shinobi World's side."
His cloudy but wise eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was recalling and confirming. "I seemed to have heard Sage of Six Paths mention it just now... His name is Naruto Uzumaki?"
When the surname "Uzumaki" was mentioned, Uzumaki Ashina's voice became obviously heavier, and a look of satisfaction and relief could not be suppressed on his old face.
He carefully looked at the figure of Naruto in the distance, feeling the majestic Chakra, the more he looked at it, the more joy he became.
"Okay... that's great."
Uzumaki Ashina murmured, his beard trembling slightly with joy.
"I never thought that after me, Uzumaki Clan, there would be such an amazing and talented junior!
Not only is his strength unparalleled in the contemporary era, but he has also become a key figure in the Shinobi World pattern!
There will be successors, there will be successors!"
Butsuma Senju was sincerely happy to hear such praise from his old friend, and followed the words and complimented. "Ashina, what I said is absolutely true.
He is truly amazing.
It is also a blessing for us Senju Clan that he can inherit the glory and power of the Uzumaki Clan."
Senju and Uzumaki are strong allies, and Butsuma Senju is naturally happy to see such talented people emerge from their ally families.
However, this "pleasurable" praise was particularly harsh to the ears of Uchiha Tajima.
He was already a little depressed because his son Madara "succumbed" to the camp of the dead, while the descendants of the other party's allies became the leaders of the living. Now he saw his old enemy Senju and their ally Uzumaki looking proud of "their own unicorn", and he suddenly became angry.
"Hmph!"
Uchiha Tajima snorted heavily, his face full of displeasure and ridicule. He glanced at Uzumaki Ashina's full head of red hair, then looked at Naruto's dazzling Golden short hair in the distance, and said with ridicule:
"A group of people who have had red hair for generations, in the end, have to rely on a yellow-haired Kid to succeed?
There really is no one left there."
After saying that, he turned his head suddenly, closed his eyes, ignored Butsuma Senju and Uzumaki Ashina, and focused all his attention on adjusting his own state and preparing for the upcoming battle.
But the tight jawline and the faint fluctuation of Chakra all over his body showed that his heart was far from as calm as he appeared.
Uzumaki Ashina choked at Tajima's obviously sour words, shook his head and laughed, and stopped talking.
Of course he could see that Naruto was not a pure-blood Uzumaki Clan, and he also saw Mito and Kushina in the opponent's lineup.
It doesn't matter anymore.
He was already old when he led Uzumaki Clan and Hashirama and led Senju Clan to seal the shrimp head Greater Demon.
He founded a country before Hashirama founded Konoha, and he founded a village after Hashirama founded Konoha.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and what he can do has been done.
Butsuma Senju sighed helplessly, knowing well the stubborn temper of this old rival.
Above the Chessboard, fighting spirit and murderous intent permeated the air as if they were real. Near the Gold General chess position, the atmosphere was equally tense.
Uchiha Izuna, this genius of the Uchiha Clan, Madara's most trusted brother, is holding the handle of the knife tightly at his waist, his knuckles are slightly white from exerting force.
His sharp eyes were locked on the silver-haired, red-eyed figure with a stern expression opposite Gold General, Tobirama Senju!
The murderous intention crossed the barrier between life and death, burning brightly on Chessboard at this moment.
"Father," Izuna turned his head slightly and said to Uchiha Tajima who occupied the same Gold General chess position next to him. His voice was low and firm, full of unquestionable determination, "Tobirama Senju... just leave it to me."
He longs for a public showdown to avenge his past humiliation, for the glory of the Uchiha Clan!
When Uzumaki Ashina, who was standing on the other Gold General chess position next to them, heard this, he paused slightly while stroking his beard, and a hint of surprise and an imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.
As a figure of that era, he naturally remembered clearly that Uchiha Izuna died in the hands of Tobirama Senju.
Let's look at the current status of both parties: Tobirama Senju is still alive and settling after the death of Izuna. I am afraid that the wisdom, experience, and understanding of Forbidden Jutsu are no longer what they used to be.
As for Uchiha Izuna, although he was also a genius, he died young after all. He spent most of his time in sleep or confusion, and his growth in strength may be limited.
After Tobirama killed Izuna, he lived for so long and accumulated so much.
How can Izuna fight Tobirama now?
Ashina shook his head secretly in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. This is Uchiha's obsession, and it's hard for others to comment.
Not far away, Madara Uchiha, occupying the Bishop chess position, seemed to sense his brother's fierce fighting spirit and determination.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes first sweeping across the serious and worried face of his father Tajima, and finally fell on the young and resolute profile of his younger brother Izuna.
In those eyes, there was an elder brother's care for his younger brother, a complex recollection of past fate, and even a hint of deep intolerance and helplessness.
But he didn't say anything, he just looked at Izuna deeply, as if he wanted to carve his brother's appearance into the depths of his soul.
Then, he resolutely turned his head, his eyes like a torch, passed through Chessboard, and locked firmly on the opposite Rook, Hashirama Senju, who was as steady as a mountain and as vast as the sea.
At the same time, Hashirama Senju was also staring at Madara with intense eyes.
The eyes of the two old enemies and close friends collided in the air. There were no words, but it seemed that thousands of words were flowing, and countless past fierce battles and ideological confrontations were echoing.
Madara retracted his gaze from Hashirama, and his eyes became sharp and aggressive.
He took off the huge Gunbai from behind with one hand, and held the sickle connected to the chain tightly with the other hand, and the aura around him began to become wild and unruly.
"The only one who can stop me is Hashirama."
Madara's low and magnetic voice sounded, as if he was announcing or stating an eternal truth, "So, I will fight Hashirama as quickly as possible to end the fate between us. Then..."
A red light flashed in his eyes, scanning the other powerful chess pieces on the opposite side Chessboard.
Tobirama, Minato, Otohime, Kai, Kaguya...
"Go ahead and crush the other guys."
His words were full of absolute confidence and domineering, as if victory was already within his grasp.
After saying that, Madara turned his head slightly and glanced at Indra, who was standing next to him and was also at the Bishop chess position.
The ancestor of Uchiha, the predecessor of his own Chakra.
Madara didn't have much respect for him, only the scrutiny of a person of the same origin.
"Girl who can stand beside Hashirama..."
Madara's eyes fell on Rook opposite, Uchiha Hikari standing next to Hashirama Senju.
That girl has Sharingan with the Uchiha Clan, black hair, and a delicate face.
"It must not be easy. I'll leave that guy to you."
Madara's judgment is very straightforward: Hashirama Senju is God of Shinobi. If you can stand side by side with him in the most critical attacking position, you will definitely not be a mediocre player.
Naruto Uzumaki is not the kind of person who arranges chess pieces at will, which further proves the power of Girl.
However, in the face of Madara's assignment, Indra, who had always been arrogant and thoughtful, remained silent for a rare moment.
His pair of Rinnegan, which were similar to Madara, carefully looked at the Uchiha Hikari in the distance, frowning slightly.
Then, he turned his head and asked Madara a question in a slightly doubtful and probing tone that caught Madara off guard:
"I remember you were single when you were alive, Madara Uchiha?"
Madara: "...?"
He didn't understand why Indra suddenly asked this.
Indra raised his finger and pointed at Uchiha Hikari in the distance, but his tone was very flat. "Then why does she look so similar to you?"
"Huh?"
When Madara Uchiha heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth opened slightly uncontrollably, with an expression on his face that was a mixture of absurdity, disdain, and a hint of "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Where does it look like?"
Madara's tone contained an obvious sneer, "Indra, are your eyes just decorations? Or maybe after staying at Pure Land for a long time, everyone looks like me."
She is just a little girl who may have some strength, what does it have to do with me Madara Uchiha."
He said this, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Uchiha Hikari again, and a very slight strange feeling flashed through his heart.
Does it look like him? The outline of his facial features... seems... to be a bit like his own, but also has the shadow of Izuna.
But the Uchiha people look much alike.
This doesn't mean anything at all.
Madara forced down the inexplicable fluctuation in his heart and focused his attention on Hashirama Senju again.
Now is not the time to dwell on such unimportant matters.
Indra looked at Madara's dismissive but vaguely concerned reaction, the corner of his mouth raised a meaningful arc, and said no more.
He turned his gaze back to Uchiha Hikari, with a trace of inquiry and expectation flashing in his eyes.
