Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama stood together, preventing Akihara Kagura from approaching.
Senju Hashirama occasionally touched his arm, glanced at Akihara Kagura standing opposite them, and cautiously said, "Although I've come back to life with my chakra at peak state, this guy still feels stronger than me…"
"Hmph, that's normal…"
Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully and said irritably, "This brat is merely lucky to have used your cells to awaken the Sage Body. He couldn't possibly be our opponent. If you lose, then fight to hold him off…"
"Huh? What about you?"
Senju Hashirama looked at Uchiha Madara in surprise.
"I can only gamble once…"
Uchiha Madara remembered what he was about to do, his voice gradually growing heavy, because the history on the Uchiha Stele had been altered, the Senju Clan's warnings about the danger of becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki reminded him of the potential risk, perhaps he might bet his life!
"Gamble, huh?"
Senju Hashirama reached into his pocket, seemingly searching for something, and he actually found something!
"Isn't this moment somewhat inappropriate?"
Senju Hashirama inexplicably took out two dice, handed them to Uchiha Madara: "Madara, if you're going to gamble on something, I'll lend you my luck…"
"..."
A vein popped on Uchiha Madara's forehead, and he held back his urge to curse: "Your luck… is there anyone with worse luck than you?"
"Perhaps…"
Senju Hashirama tossed the two dice to Uchiha Madara, showing a confident smile on his face: "I spent my entire life losing before my death; maybe my luck will win just this once?"
"..."
Uchiha Madara reached out and caught the two dice, stuffing them into his clothes, a hint of a light smile appearing on his face: "Hmph, I'll believe you just this once!"
"However…"
"We might not lose either!"
Uchiha Madara raised his finger and coldly looked at Akihara Kagura, his voice becoming serious: "Get ready!"
"Understood!"
Senju Hashirama tightened his fist, and chakra in the form of a tangible substance suddenly rose from his body: "Then I'm going first, Madara!"
The next moment!
Senju Hashirama charged towards Akihara Kagura!
Uchiha Madara followed closely behind Senju Hashirama!
The two unparalleled heroes who dominated the Sengoku era once collaborated before, and during that collaboration, they founded Konoha, the first Ninja Village…
Many years later…
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama finally joined forces once again!
This time…
They were going to challenge the strongest man of this era!
Akihara Kagura had not been observing them, as if meditating before the battle, continuously sensing the extremely intimidating chakra rapidly approaching his attack range, his eyes suddenly snapped open!
In the next instant!
Akihara Kagura directly confronted them!
Waves erupted on the surface of the waterfall's lake!
The three collided in an instant, their chakra merging, and a massive splash shot up into the sky!
Senju Hashirama fiercely charged at Akihara Kagura!
Uchiha Madara leapt into the air, reaching for Akihara Kagura's head, resembling a deadly assassin, with both coming at Akihara Kagura from above and below!
Akihara Kagura's movements were swift and sharp, his left hand grabbing Senju Hashirama's wrist, his right hand reaching for his shoulder. Borrowing power, his body leaped, kicking Uchiha Madara, sending him flying away!
"This guy…"
Senju Hashirama reached out, trying to pull Akihara Kagura down!
However, Akihara Kagura flipped to the other side, still holding Senju Hashirama's wrist, and, like wrestling, forcefully slammed Senju Hashirama onto the water surface!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
As Uchiha Madara flew backward, he quickly formed a hand seal, spewing a massive blaze towards Akihara Kagura!
The fireball was so enormous…
It resembled a meteor falling from the sky!
Even the lowest level of the Great Fireball Jutsu, when used by Uchiha Madara, far exceeded some S-rank jutsu known for their power!
"Water Release: Water Array Wall!"
Akihara Kagura slashed his palm across the water surface, a wave rising from below like a wall of water, instantly engulfing the fireball!
In the next instant!
A tall blue Susanoo flew over!
A giant blue samurai blade sliced through the water wall!
Uchiha Madara immediately resorted to using Susanoo, seeming to know this battle's outcome wasn't determined by temporary taijutsu victories, he began pressing Akihara Kagura to use chakra-consuming jutsu!
"Hashirama!"
Uchiha Madara shouted deeply, controlling Susanoo to scoop up Senju Hashirama, placing him in Susanoo's crystal, coldly saying: "Prepare yourself, he's going to use his Susanoo! Activate your Wood Release!"
"I know…"
Senju Hashirama nodded and clasped his hands together: "Wood Release: Woodman Jutsu! Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
A towering wooden man instantly merged with the giant Susanoo!
The massive Susanoo transformed into armor over the wooden man, changing its form, even the wooden dragon wore Susanoo's armor!
The towering blue Susanoo-armored wooden man wielding a gigantic blue samurai blade charged straight at Akihara Kagura!
"Straight to this point, huh?"
Akihara Kagura raised his hands and clasped them together, white moonlight reflecting on the lake's surface as a white Susanoo-armored wooden man suddenly appeared beneath him!
"Be careful…"
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara stood within the blue Susanoo-armored wooden man's forehead crystal, recalling past lessons and saying gravely: "That kid's Woodman Jutsu can also use Space-Time Jutsu for instant movement, we must be careful…"
Before finishing speaking.
A white Susanoo-armored wooden man suddenly vanished from its original spot!
The hundred-meter-tall white giant wielded a white-glowing samurai blade, instantaneously appearing before the blue-armored wooden man's chest, like a lethal assassin, with a tens-of-meters-long white samurai blade piercing towards the opponent's chest!
