[Hashirama Senju: "This is where Madara and I truly parted ways…"]
[Izuna Uchiha: "Cunning Senju! You tricked my brother from the start!"]
[Tobirama Senju: "Izuna, can you stop foaming at the mouth for one minute?"]
[Sarada Uchiha: "In the video, Madara awakened his Sharingan because he was being torn away from the First Hokage."]
[Boruto Uzumaki: "Which means… Madara's talent was insane!!!"]
[Chōchō Akimichi: "They were fated partners, but clan hatred kept them apart… Why does this feel like a tear-jerker?!"]
[Wasabi Izuno: "Something about this plot feels… off."]
[Denki Kaminarimon: "Wait, so there were rumors about the First and Madara?"]
[Iwabee Yuino: "You guys are just spreading tabloids at this point…"]
Years later, the boys who joked and dreamed by the river stood as leaders on opposite sides—
and with death in their eyes, they crashed together.
Silence fell across those watching.
Tobirama didn't hesitate—Flying Thunder God Slash flashed—
and Izuna Uchiha was run through.
Madara spun, caught his collapsing brother, and the world went monochrome.
Staring at the wound, something inside him tore.
Vengeance eclipsed the sky.
Izuna's breath came thin. He reached up with trembling fingers—
plucked out his own Mangekyō—
and placed it in his brother's palm.
Madara pressed his forehead to Izuna's… and accepted the gift.
The tomoe in his eyes melted and reforged.
A crushing pressure rolled out from his chakra.
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
[Hashirama Senju: "This was the turning point…"]
[Tobirama Senju: "What happened to Izuna?"]
[Madara Uchiha: "He's dead."]
[Tobirama Senju: "Noted. Updating the ledger."]
[Izuna Uchiha: "Tobirama, are you sick in the head?"]
Izuna's gaze went cold as winter steel.
If he'd not been careless then—if he'd unleashed Susanoo earlier—
Tobirama would be paste by now.
[Ōnoki: "Details later… Madara's about to open Perfect Susanoo."]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Perfect Susanoo…?"]
[Itachi Uchiha: "The Uchiha's mightiest guardian."]
[Shisui Uchiha: "Envy. I never reached the perfect form."]
Madara found the Senju line.
The king descended—wreathed in fury.
His eyes, colder than a blade's edge, locked on Tobirama.
"Your eyes…" Hashirama whispered.
"What of Izuna?" Tobirama asked, genuinely perplexed.
Madara's voice was flat. "He died of the last wound. Protecting the Uchiha… he left his power to me."
Hashirama's jaw set. "I sent a truce proposal. If you truly want to protect the Uchiha—end this war!"
Teeth ground across the shinobi world.
People bristled.
Your brother killed his brother, and you're lecturing him about truce?
If you're so sincere—hand your own brother over!
Madara's aura flared. Chakra roared skyward.
"Hashirama!!"
"Madara!!!"
Hand seals blurred as Hashirama spread wooden vines like a tidal wave.
Madara's fist hammered forward.
Three colossal vines burst from the earth and wrapped Madara's arms—
and then the ground fractured, disgorging a forest of whips,
spiraling high and crashing down like green comets.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions rippled. A bud swelled amid the wreckage—
and pollen drifted in a golden haze.
Madara dropped to a knee, jaw clenched. "Pollen poison… huh."
"Please, stop, Madara! There's no meaning in this!" Hashirama urged.
"No meaning?" Madara's voice shook with rage.
"Then why did my brother die?!
Because you—because the Senju killed him!"
His wrath detonated.
The skeletal shell around him thickened, plated in armor.
In seconds, the 50-meter avatar surged, towering nearly two hundred meters tall.
Tobirama hid deep within writhing vines, a chill raking his spine.
He glanced up—and saw a gigantic blue heel shadow the land.
High above, Madara glowered like a wrathful god.
Everywhere, people found themselves… hoping Madara would punt Tobirama into next week.
Hashirama clapped his hands.
"Wood Human Technique!!"
A titan of timber heaved itself from the vegetative sea,
a Wood Dragon coiling around its neck like a living torque.
Hashirama stood upon the crown, meeting Madara eye to eye.
The Warring States came alive in cataclysmic color—
and the new gen nearly burst into tears.
[Boruto Uzumaki: "Too strong—First Lord, you're incredible!!"]
[Sarada Uchiha: "And Madara-sama's Perfect Susanoo… nearly two hundred meters—it's terrifying!"]
[Ōnoki: "Told you. Raikage, weren't you eager to 1v1 Madara?"]
[Fourth Raikage A: "…"]
[Yamato: "Side note… why is my Wood Release nothing like the First's…? Mine tops out at three-room-one-hall jutsu!"]
Madara threw back his head and roared.
"Hashirama!!!"
Hashirama answered in kind.
"Madara!!!"
They lunged. Air buckled, a cyclone ripping outward.
Spectators on the ground were blasted off their feet as vines snapped skyward like whips.
From the Wood Human's shoulder, the massive Wood Dragon dived—
Madara's Susanoo uppercut sent it cartwheeling.
Hashirama seized the opening: a thousand vine lashes hammered Susanoo's torso.
THUD—THUD—THUD—THUD!
The earth convulsed.
Shockwaves sheared off entire mountain peaks like wheat heads.
When the dust thinned, four Wood Dragons screamed through the sky.
Madara caught all four in Susanoo's gauntlets, muscles corded in azure light—
hauled the Wood Human forward—
and spun Hashirama in an "affectionate" whirl—
before pitching him into a distant ridge.
The ridge ceased to exist.
The valley tore open like paper.
Silence. Again.
[Neji Hyūga: "So this… is Uchiha power."]
[Tokuma Hyūga: "Weren't we Hyūga supposed to be stronger…?"]
[Hiashi Hyūga: "Ahem… when did I say that?"]
Hiashi coughed, suddenly very aware that the resurrected Uchiha might be reading the chat.
Susanoo, over a hundred meters tall—this wasn't something people could fight.
[Himawari Uzumaki: "First Lord, you're amazing!!"]
(I'll add one more chapter tonight—if you feel like sending a small boost, three 'Powered by Love' is plenty. I'm really short on cash right now (ó﹏ò｡) )
Hook:
Susanoo drew a blade that cleaved the storm in half; the Wood Human raised a forest that touched the clouds.
Between them, a canyon yawned like a wound.
Next strike decides who bleeds first—
and whether a village can be born from the ruins.
