Two giants, hundreds of meters tall, collided. The seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed created a sonic boom in the surrounding air.
Susanoo wielded two giant swords, slashing at the Wood Golem controlled by Hashirama Senju, but the Wood Golem grabbed its arms with both hands. Another enormous Wood Dragon wrapped around its body then bound its other arm.
The wings behind Susanoo suddenly lashed out at the Wood Golem. Hashirama Senju shouted, and two more arms sprouted from under the Wood Golem's armpits, blocking the approaching wings. For a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.
The gale whipped by Susanoo's wings reached the edge of the battlefield.
Shinsei hurriedly attached his Chakra to the rock, otherwise he might be blown away by the hurricane.
Every time the two giants collided, those watching from the edge of the battlefield could feel the vibrations in their eardrums.
During his lifetime, Madara Uchiha's Chakra reserves were not Hashirama Senju's, but they were still an extremely vast amount.
Previously, Chakra Hashirama Senju was able to exhaust Madara Uchiha by relying solely on his chakra.
Now both of them are in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, with unlimited Chakra. Hashirama Senju's advantages have been wiped out, and Hashirama's strength after Impure World Reincarnation is even less than before.
Although Shinsei used White Zetsu as a sacrifice, how could the body Impure World Reincarnation through Hashirama Senju's innate Sage Body?
At least Hashirama Senju couldn't use his most powerful technique— Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. That was the source of Hashirama Senju's true confidence.
Even the enormous Wood Golem now is actually a small figure sitting cross-legged on the head of a Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. The massive Nine-Tails is nothing more than a louse on the head in front of such a being.
The two fought more and more seriously, gradually losing all regard for anything else.
Once Madara Uchiha's Hashirama Senju subsided, he immediately resumed his serious approach to dealing with this terrifying opponent.
Hashirama Senju also wanted to stop Madara Uchiha. Although he had only been resurrected for a short time and did not know the specifics of the situation, based on his understanding of Madara Uchiha, he knew that Madara had gone to such lengths to revive him, and that he certainly did not do so to see how his successors were doing.
Madara Uchiha stood atop the massive Susanoo, looking at Hashirama Senju atop the Wood Golem Hashirama Senju outside. " Hashirama, while I'm glad to see you resurrected, I will absolutely not let you stop my plans."
"You Senju Clan brats have hidden the One-Tail. If you don't hand it over, I will raze Konoha to the ground."
"Madara! Konoha is a village we built together. Do you really want to destroy it?"
" Hashirama, when I left Konoha, I no longer considered it my village. In this new world, I will recreate Konoha."
Hashirama Senju hearing Madara Uchiha say "recreate it," Hashirama Senju couldn't help but say, "Madara, recreating Konoha doesn't require destroying the current Konoha. If you're willing, I can help you recreate Konoha. This time, I'll definitely make you Hokage."
Madara Uchiha rubbed his forehead, amused and exasperated by Hashirama Senju's naive words. " Hashirama, you're still stupid! To start this world anew, you must first destroy it!"
Hashirama Senju's expression turned more serious than ever before. He solemnly said to Madara Uchiha, "Madara! I will absolutely not let you succeed!"
"Then come on, stop me!" Madara Uchiha became calmer than ever before. " Hashirama, let me show you my new power. This power also includes you."
Madara Uchiha Hand Seals, but no Ninjutsu was released from his mouth.
Suddenly, a violent scream came from the edge of the battlefield.
Nagato collapsed to the ground in agony, half of his body covered in a strange black substance. He slowly brought his hands together, as if trying to Hand Seals.
Konan was startled by Nagato's appearance; she recognized the strange black substance covering Nagato's body.
"What the hell are you doing?"
A sinister smile appeared on Nagato's half-blackened face.
"What am I going to do? Revive Lord Madara, of course!"
The other half of Nagato struggled in agony and said to Konan, "Run!"
Konan's usually calm eyes turned to pain, and her skin transformed into countless pieces of paper, which then became paper Kunai, shooting towards Nagato's half-black body.
Black Zetsu was attached to Nagato, making Konan hesitant to make any significant moves. However, the paper Kunai stuck in Nagato's body had no effect on the strange black substance.
"Get away!" The half-mouth shouted loudly. At the same time, the Rinnegan in its eye twitched slightly, and a huge repulsive force spread in all directions.
Konan was thrown hundreds of meters by the repulsive force, and could only watch helplessly as Nagato stood up from the ground and clasped his hands together.
Shinsei heard Nagato's scream and saw the shadowy figure covering half of his body. He immediately understood what it was and what Nagato intended to do.
We absolutely cannot let him succeed. Shinsei's body transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing rapidly towards Nagato.
Halfway there, they saw Nagato raise his head, a strange smile on his face, and Hand Seals.
At the same time, Madara Uchiha stood inside the towering Susanoo, his hands Hand Seals in sync with Nagato's.
" The Rinne Rebirth!"
A huge green light erupted from Madara Uchiha's body, and the smoke dissipated.
Madara Uchiha had his eyes tightly closed, yet he could feel his heart pounding. A long-lost vitality surged from every organ in his body.
"That exhilarating feeling! It's finally here again!"
Shinsei saw Nagato slowly fall to the ground, his shadow disappearing into the earth. He flashed to Nagato's side and helped him up.
What was initially thought to be a simple negotiation would pull Nagato away from Akatsuki. In fact, Nagato did take some action after hearing Shinsei's words.
When more Impure World Reincarnation ninjas surrounded Shinsei, Nagato did not intervene; otherwise, with his abilities, he could have caused Shinsei a great deal of trouble.
Nagato slowly opened his eyes. His Rinnegan had been taken away by Black Zetsu, leaving only bloodshot, empty eye sockets and a Obito that Sharingan had given him.
Nagato gripped Shinsei's arm tightly, and with all his might asked, "Can you bring peace? In your own way!"
Shinsei nodded and replied, "I can, as long as I don't die. This world will eventually achieve peace."
Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure on his hands loosened.
"That's good. I wish I had met you sooner."
Konan flapped her wings and flew to Nagato's side, whispered a thank you, picked him up from Shinsei's arms, and was about to fly away.
"Wait!" Shinsei interrupted.
Konan turned her head and looked calmly at Shinsei.
Shinsei Hand Seals, and black runes spread from his hands to Nagato's body. Then he whispered a few words in Konan's ear.
Konan didn't say anything, picked up Nagato, and flew away.
Jiraiya arrived late, and as he watched Konan and Nagato leave, tears silently streamed down his face.
