"Come on."
Hashirama looked at the longsword pointed at him, not a trace of retreat in his eyes.
The Wood Dragon moved onto the Wood Human's arm, its ferocious body coiling around the arm and lending it an imposing weight.
"Hmph."
Madara snorted in displeasure at Hashirama's quiet voice, then controlled Susanoo to slash down with its blue longsword.

"Madara! You... you, you
