Despicable Senju Tobirama, Are You Running Away?

"That's Wood Release!"

Seeing the towering trees rising from the ground, Tobirama and the others were utterly terrified.

For a moment, Tobirama felt as if he was witnessing his older brother's Wood Release, and because of that, he could better understand the terrifying power of the Wood Release Madara was currently displaying.

It was almost eerily close to Hashirama's normal state.

Of course, it was still far inferior to Wood Release in Sage Mode, as it lacked the powerful Sage Chakra enhancement.

But this was already overkill!

"How is it? This is the true power of Wood Release! This is also Hashirama's power! And now, it's my power!"

"HA HA HA!"

Madara let out his ancestral Uchiha laugh, more arrogant and haughty than ever.

Having Hashirama's face imprinted on his chest was merely a facade.

He had mastered true Wood Release and was using this power to achieve the Infinite Tsukuyomi, bringing eternal peace to the world.

Only then could Hashirama's wishes truly be fulfilled, which was also their lifelong pursuit!

"You... you've actually mastered my brother's Kekkei Genkai!"

Tobirama was shocked and disbelieving, then quickly used the Body Flicker Technique and water techniques; while dodging, he cut through the dense wooden attacks surrounding him.

"What? Are you powerless against the power of Wood Release? You're truly incompetent, Tobirama!"

Madara laughed wildly and uncontrollably.

Tobirama was so angry that his veins bulged, and he almost suffered from high blood pressure.

However, the Wood Release attacks around him were too dense, forcing him to dodge and move, relying on his speed and the Flying Thunder God mechanism to continuously engage and delay.

He couldn't even get close to Madara, let alone attack him.

Tobirama had no choice but to form hand seals again and launch the ninjutsu he had been targeting.

"Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"

In Madara's vision, all the light around him vanished instantly.

The entire world seemed to have fallen into darkness, and the high dynamic vision unique to the Sharingan was completely ineffective.

As a result, he lost sight of Tobirama's figure.

However, this brief darkness lasted less than a second, and the illusion's effect was immediately broken by Madara's immense mental power.

The Bringer-of-Darkness Technique could indeed restrain the Sharingan, but Madara's ocular power was incomparable to that of an ordinary Uchiha ninja, so the technique Tobirama launched could barely affect him.

Just as Tsukuyomi couldn't shake Madara, the vast gap in willpower and ocular strength couldn't be fully overcome by ninjutsu mechanisms in many cases!

"Is this another technique to restrain the Sharingan? You bastard, you really are targeting the Uchiha!"

After his vision returned, Madara sneered again.

This technique was truly shameless and despicable, specifically created to counter the Sharingan.

But Tobirama overestimated his own abilities and tried to use it against him, which was nothing more than a joke.

While Madara was plunged into darkness, the Susano'o armor had already been activated, giving Tobirama no chance to launch a sneak attack.

However, Madara noticed that Tobirama had taken the opportunity to activate the Flying Thunder God and disappeared on the spot!

*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*

In the blink of an eye, several whooshing sounds were heard one after another.

Tobirama, Kagami, and Mito had all vanished from the battlefield.

Clearly, Tobirama had escaped!

He wasn't foolish. The real Madara was already too powerful to fight, and now his opponent also possessed the Wood Release power of his older brother, Hashirama.

How could he possibly handle that?

The only option left for them was to evade the enemy's attacks and retreat first.

That's why Tobirama used the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique to feign an attack and immediately activated the Flying Thunder God to escape with Kagami and his sister-in-law.

He didn't dare delay for even a second.

"Running away? If you can't win, just flee. You're still as despicable and shameless as ever..."

"Then, let me give you a little more pressure."

Seeing Tobirama disappear, Madara cursed but wasn't surprised.

He knew Tobirama well and had long anticipated that Tobirama would run away, so he had already prepared a countermeasure.

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Madara used Wood Release again, and the sea of trees around him surged rapidly, with large pink flowers blooming. The flowers gradually released toxic pollen, forming a thick mist that enveloped the entire forest.

Anyone who inhaled the pollen in the mist would be poisoned, paralyzed, and fall unconscious.

It didn't take long for the pollen to cover the tens of thousands of ninja within the forest.

Konoha and Kirigakure ninja trying to escape while resisting the attacks were all caught in the assault.

Within a few breaths, they all collapsed unconscious in the sea of trees!

This was the vast chasm between a Kage and a Super Kage.

With enough ninja, a powerhouse like the Third Raikage could indeed be overwhelmed and killed.

But no matter how many ninja troops there were, they couldn't withstand large-scale attacks like Wood Release and Susano'o.

Madara's goal wasn't to kill the Konoha ninja. If he wanted to slaughter thousands of Konoha ninja, Nativity of a World of Trees alone would suffice.

The reason he used Advent of a World of Flowering Trees was simply to incapacitate all the Konoha ninja.

He would capture them all as hostages.

"This is truly useful."

"As for what's next, wake up and get back to work!"

Madara stomped his foot and kicked the Three-Tails below, then forced himself to activate the genjutsu again, controlling the Three-Tails, Six-Tails, and Eight-Tails, and began preparing Bijuu Bombs once more.

He aimed directly at the stunned Konoha ninja in the distant forest of flowering trees.

Ready to fire again!

What was this calculation?

This was Madara's conspiracy!

Madara knew full well that Tobirama, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, was determined to escape and that he couldn't stop him.

But as long as these thousands of elite Konoha ninja were unconscious here, they were thousands of hostages! Senju Tobirama could choose to run, but the thousands of elite Konoha troops behind him would die!

This was the real reason Madara manipulated Kirigakure to take the initiative and tricked Tobirama into leading the Konoha forces to attack.

Since his defeat by Hashirama, Madara no longer pursued power blindly and began engaging in the conspiracies and evil schemes he once despised.

Why didn't Madara attack Konoha directly?

If he had, Tobirama might have been easily controlled.

The reason was very simple.

Because although Madara himself hated Tobirama, he didn't particularly hate Hashirama's Senju clan or his own Uchiha clan.

Unless necessary, Madara didn't want to massacre all the women, children, and elderly in the entire Konoha village.

After all, this place was still in prime condition. Although slightly damaged, it still had over 30 years of life left from its original state and hadn't perished.

He wasn't as paranoid and deranged as the real senile plaque, so he wouldn't harm children.

Just like when he spared the young Ōnoki, the not-yet-fully-degraded Madara fundamentally didn't want to hurt the weak and children.

However, the only kindness Madara possessed was towards women and children.

He would show no mercy to ninja who actively entered the battlefield, which was also the greatest respect for his enemies.

The next moment, the three Bijuu Bombs were fully charged and fired simultaneously!

"Alright! Despicable Senju Tobirama, what will you choose now?"

"Where can you run?"

Madara grinned grimly, waiting to see what decision Tobirama would make.
