The Situation is Not Good

The three Bijuu appeared simultaneously.

The one on the left was the Hachibi that had previously escaped from Kumogakure, the one in the middle was the Sanbi from Kirigakure, and the one on the right was still the Rokubi from Kirigakure.

Moreover, the Mangekyo Sharingan was clearly reflected in the pupils of the three Bijuu.

There was no doubt that they were all being controlled by someone behind the scenes using genjutsu.

Tobirama's face darkened as he shouted: "Madara!"

"Are you still going to hide? I know you're not dead!"

The next moment.

*SHUA!*

A figure leaped out of the thick mist, landing on the head of the Sanbi, and looked down with a disdainful gaze.

Uchiha Madara looked at Tobirama with his usual arrogance and contempt.

"Senju Tobirama, long time no see!"

Madara stared at Tobirama and muttered, his voice carrying a sigh and a hint of disgust.

"It's you, you bastard!"

Tobirama cursed angrily, but he seemed less confident and didn't dare to look directly into Madara's Mangekyo.

Fortunately, it seemed that Madara had not yet awakened the Rinnegan.

If Madara had awakened the Rinnegan, Tobirama would have no chance to fight back.

"You're not surprised to see me. How did you know I was still alive?"

Madara was certain that he had faked his death that year, and almost no one could have known about it. After all, it only took one Sharingan to activate Izanagi.

He didn't expect Tobirama to seem to know that he was still alive?

"Hmph! Did you think you could fool me with your little trick?" Tobirama said stubbornly.

Even though he had been completely fooled, he certainly wouldn't admit it now.

"Well... it doesn't matter. Knowing or not won't change the outcome today." Madara folded his arms and laughed casually, no longer caring about Tobirama's cleverness.

"Was it you who manipulated Kirigakure to start this war?"

"Since you know it's me, why don't you just run away? And I've heard that you've been very erratic lately? You destroyed Iwagakure and Kumogakure one by one, which is far more radical than I expected. It seems that without Hashirama's control, this is your true nature? The evil Senju Tobirama?"

"Bah! You're the evil Uchiha!"

"Damn Tobirama, you just destroyed two villages, but you're so arrogant that you can't even assess your own level? You're just a talker. Without Hashirama, you're just a small pebble!"

"Madara, others might fear you, but I don't! You're just a loser compared to Big Brother!"

The two of them had never gotten along, and it was only because of Hashirama's friendship that they stayed together.

The argument grew more intense, until Tobirama mentioned Hashirama's name, which of course enraged Madara.

"Since you're determined to die, I'll send you to meet Hashirama!"

Madara activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with a thought.

The three Bijuu beneath and around him suddenly took action, charging their Bijudama simultaneously, ready to fire at Tobirama and the battlefield not far from him.

"No, I must stop them!"

Tobirama shouted that he couldn't let the Bijuu fire their Bijudama again, as it would only increase the number of casualties.

Madara didn't care at all about the casualties on Kirigakure's side, but Tobirama couldn't ignore the casualties on Konoha's side!

Tobirama formed hand seals and activated Water Dragon Bullet, summoning three giant water dragons formed by three streams of water and firing them at the three Bijuu, trying to disrupt the charging of their Bijudama.

Tobirama's reaction was extremely fast, and his water ninjutsu could be charged faster than the Bijudama.

Sure enough, it stopped the charging of the Hachibi on the left and the Rokubi on the right, causing their half-charged Bijudama to explode.

However, the situation with the Sanbi, which was protected by Madara in the center, was not so simple.

Madara snorted coldly and released the skeletal arm of Susano'o, which shattered the Water Dragon Bullet fired by Tobirama with a single claw.

Protecting the Sanbi and continuing to charge its Bijudama.

'Damn it! With Madara here, it's impossible to stop the Bijudama from charging!'

Tobirama cursed inwardly, his face looking very ugly.

Fortunately, at that moment.

*SWOOSH!*

The sharp sound of a golden sword clashing was heard, and five golden chakra chains shot out from the ground, instantly wrapping around and binding the Sanbi, stopping the charging of its Bijudama.

Madara swung Susano'o's claw and struck the incomplete Bijudama, causing it to explode.

Then he frowned slightly and looked not far behind Tobirama.

Sure enough, an elegant woman dressed in a white cheongsam slowly appeared.

The wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju: Uzumaki Mito!

"Mito? I didn't expect you to be here too? After Hashirama left, you're actually defending that bastard Tobirama?"

Madara was slightly displeased. He didn't expect Mito to protect Tobirama so much and even go to war with the troops directly. It was clear that Mito was one of the people who hated war the most.

"Madara, stop! If Hashirama were still here, I don't think he would want to see you like this!"

Mito sighed and tried to persuade him gently.

Thanks to Hashirama's constant nagging day and night, she understood Madara well.

She was also very aware of the deep feelings between him and Hashirama. Since Hashirama killed Madara at the Valley of the End, she had never seen Hashirama smile again in the following years.

It seemed that the blow was so great that it wasn't until their granddaughter Tsunade was born that the pain was somewhat alleviated.

So Mito also knew that Hashirama was the last person who would want to see Madara like this!

And while Mito and Madara were negotiating, Tobirama also quietly created a clone and activated Flying Thunder God, moving to the back beside Hiruzen, preparing to inform Hiruzen and the others and immediately order the Konoha troops to retreat.

Before starting the expedition, Tobirama had prepared for the worst-case scenario.

If it was indeed Uchiha Madara manipulating things behind the scenes, or even appearing to join the battle, then let Hiruzen and the others lead the team to retreat immediately!

At this moment in the world, no one knew Madara's terrifying power better than him.

A war of attrition would have no effect on Madara.

The only way was for Tobirama and the others to fully cooperate and hold off Madara.

To buy time for the main force to evacuate.

After the main force of Konoha was evacuated, they would find a way to kill Madara!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Hmph! Mito, you're still like this, thinking you understand everyone. I don't know how Hashirama could tolerate your personality. Hashirama and I shared the same thoughts, so I can understand his regrets about you."

"Nonsense telepathy! What do you mean I didn't understand him enough? That man changed his beliefs and even killed me for the village! You and the entire Konoha are the ones who distorted Hashirama!"

Madara grew more agitated. In his current understanding, perhaps the Village of Konoha should never have been built in the first place.

A system destined to collapse like that couldn't solve the chaos in the entire ninja world. Instead, it further distorted Hashirama and would sooner or later oppress the entire Uchiha clan.

"No, I'm not denying it. I just want to tell you that Hashirama was the last person who wanted to kill you, and he was also the one who regretted it the most..."

Mito tried her best to comfort and explain, but unfortunately, Hashirama's death had already become a knot between Madara and Konoha, and it couldn't be untied with just a few words.

Such persuasion was not only useless but even counterproductive.

"Enough!"

Madara shouted, interrupting Mito.

The person he hated the most was Tobirama, the second was Mito, and the third was the unfilial junior Uchiha Kagami who betrayed the Uchiha clan and joined Tobirama.

Now these three annoying factors had come together and directly ignited the peak of Madara's anger.

"Since you're all here, let's die together!"

Madara activated Susano'o and directly strengthened the Sanbi, using brute force to break free from Mito's unbreakable Adamantine Chains!

The slaughter begins now!
