After the high-five, they had to face the enraged Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara was not injured in this attack, but Rosen and Senju Tobirama had teamed up to shatter his most beloved toy, which made him even more furious, and there was a deeper sense of apprehension.
Regardless of their past grievances or future considerations, Rosen and Senju Tobirama had to die.
The strength they displayed was too dangerous.
Especially when they teamed up, the danger factor increased exponentially.
"How much Chakra do you have left?" Senju Tobirama asked.
"Twenty percent." Rosen's golden Chakra cloak was flickering at this moment, and he also felt intense soreness throughout his body.
Senju Tobirama said helplessly, "I only have ten percent Chakra left."
Both of them looked at Uchiha Madara again. His consumption at this moment must have been considerable, after all, he had continuously released Susanoo twice.
And he had endured their numerous bombardments, so even Uchiha Madara couldn't have had no consumption at all.
It could be seen from the fatigue on Uchiha Madara's face that he was also extremely exhausted at this moment.
Rosen guessed that Uchiha Madara had not yet reached his Peak at this point.
His Peak should have been during the Valley of the End battle, where he could fight with Senju Hashirama for three days and three nights by borrowing the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
But now, Uchiha Madara had just Awakened his Eternal Mangekyo, and his ocular power was still growing.
It should be known that ocular power continues to grow for several years after the Eternal Mangekyo is Awakened.
So, even if Uchiha Madara's current state was better than theirs, it wasn't by much.
The truth was indeed as Rosen had guessed; Uchiha Madara's Chakra was only at thirty percent at this moment.
Rosen condensed a Light sword in his hand, and Senju Tobirama took out a kunai.
Uchiha Madara's face was distorted with rage, and he suddenly lunged at the two of them.
Rosen and Senju Tobirama also charged towards Uchiha Madara at the same time.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
Shadow Shifting!
The two of them had absolutely top-tier Taijutsu in this era.
Even Uchiha Madara wouldn't necessarily gain much advantage facing their Taijutsu.
Especially their coordination, and their most rogue skills, Flying Thunder God Technique and Shadow Shifting.
The figures of the three constantly shifted on the battlefield. Although Uchiha Madara had no displacement skills, his Body Flicker Technique was also incredibly fast.
Coupled with his advantage in strength, Rosen and Senju Tobirama were fighting very strenuously.
Pfft—
Rosen was kicked in the abdomen by Uchiha Madara, and he tumbled backward, sliding over ten meters on the ground using all fours before finally stopping.
The next moment, Rosen darted towards Uchiha Madara again, his figure like a streak of light.
Uchiha Madara immediately became wary when he saw Rosen's exaggerated speed.
Just then, Rosen suddenly disappeared.
"Not good!"
Uchiha Madara was kicked heavily in the back of the head, and he flew backward.
Senju Tobirama immediately delivered another kick to Uchiha Madara as he flew past him.
Uchiha Madara landed miserably in a dirt pile opposite, and it took him over ten seconds to get up, covered in dirt.
"I... I'm going to kill you two!" Uchiha Madara's face became even more frantic, and he activated his Eternal Mangekyo again. He would spare no cost to end this battle.
Just then, a voice came from a distance.
"Madara!"
Senju Hashirama! He had returned. He had met the person Senju Tobirama sent on his way back, which was how he learned about what had happened in the clan territory.
The reason he returned early was entirely because he sensed the Chakra burst from Uchiha Madara in the direction of the clan territory.
Although it was hundreds of miles away, he still detected it.
That's why he rushed back early.
Seeing Senju Hashirama return, Rosen and Senju Tobirama immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of surviving a disaster was truly wonderful.
Uchiha Madara's face was filled with gloom.
He knew that his plan had failed this time.
The strength of Senju Tobirama and this guy completely exceeded his expectations.
In fact, if the fight continued, he might very well fall into the hands of these two.
Shadow Shifting and Flying Thunder God Technique were too elusive.
Bang—
Senju Hashirama landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Phew... Madara, you actually deceived me."
Uchiha Madara withdrew his Killing Intent, turned, and left.
"Madara, are you just going to leave like that?"
"What, are you going to stop me?" Uchiha Madara glanced at Senju Hashirama.
"Ah, this..."
"Big Brother, you can't let him go!" Senju Tobirama hurriedly called out, "He almost killed me and Rosen."
"It's fine, it's fine, aren't you two alright?" Senju Hashirama waved his hand.
Rosen pouted. He really didn't know if Senju Hashirama was truly thick-skinned or if he had a screw loose.
Such a good opportunity to end the war was right in front of them, yet he let it go so easily.
"Madara, I hereby issue a challenge for a decisive battle. Let our victory and defeat determine the ultimate triumph. The time... let's set it for one month from now. I hope you won't break your promise this time." Senju Hashirama said.
Senju Hashirama could see that Uchiha Madara was not in good condition, so he specifically gave Uchiha Madara a month to adjust his state.
"I accept your invitation." Uchiha Madara left gracefully.
If it weren't for his current poor condition, he really wanted to chase after Uchiha Madara and finish him off. Rosen wasn't the only one with this thought; Senju Tobirama also felt the same way.
Senju Hashirama then looked at the surrounding battlefield, making a hissing sound.
"You two, you actually managed to fight Madara to this extent."
Pfft—
Rosen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Rosen! How are you? Damn it, you must be seriously injured. I'll take you back to the residence." Senju Tobirama anxiously carried Rosen on his back and ran towards the clan territory.
"Eh... these two guys, do they think I'm blind? They're really scoundrels." Senju Hashirama complained, "They fought so intensely with Madara, but they won't fight with me."
Rosen and Senju Tobirama cooperated tacitly. After returning to the residence, both of them lay directly on the wooden floor, completely relaxing.
"Rosen, I feel that if Big Brother hadn't come back today, we would have had a chance to win."
Rosen, however, didn't think so: "Impossible. Uchiha Madara's fate is special; no one can kill him except your Big Brother."
Even though they had pushed Uchiha Madara to a desperate situation, this feeling was very similar to a famous scene in League of Legends: always feeling like 'I can counter-kill.'
And whether it was Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara, they were both'sons of the Six Paths.' Who knew when they might suddenly go into a power burst?
However, this battle indeed brought them both tremendous improvement.
Whether it was practical combat experience, technique, or Chakra enhancement, it was a very significant improvement.
And it also built their confidence, at least allowing them to touch the threshold of Uchiha Madara's level.
Of course, most of their ultimate Moves had been figured out by Uchiha Madara. If they fought again next time, it probably wouldn't be as easy as this time.
This was also a very realistic problem: the reason a weak person's ultimate Move is an ultimate Move is its unpredictability.
The reason a strong person's ultimate Move is an ultimate Move is that even if the enemy knows it, it still poses a powerful threat.
They knew Uchiha Madara's Moves, but it was useless.
However, now that Uchiha Madara knew their ultimate Moves, the threat of those Moves would be greatly reduced.
