Chapter 397 Peace leads to war, and guardianship leads to hatred!
Senju Hashirama, standing on the crown of a giant tree about a hundred meters away, looked at Madara Uchiha in Susanoo with an angry look in his eyes.
The two sides just looked at each other!
For a moment, the entire battlefield suddenly became quiet.
All the ninjas raised their heads, looking at the two people facing each other in the center of the battlefield with reverence and fear in their eyes.
Except for the other one from Kirigakure who did not appear, these two are legendary ninjas.
In a way, these two people are more like old enemies.
Konoha Village was obviously founded by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, but in the end they parted ways and even fought each other with swords.
Most of the ninjas in Konoha were confused and regretful about the two people's final act of turning against each other.
Of course, everything is relative, and it is precisely because of this that the other Ninja Villages had time to breathe after Senju Hashirama turned against Uchiha Madara.
"Madara! Why are you doing this!"
"We built this village together, and now you want to destroy it with your own hands!"
"Even if you don't hesitate to start a war for this, is this the peace you want?"
"This is no longer a grudge between you and me!"
Senju Hashirama took a step forward, exuding a terrifying aura and a hint of anger in his tone.
At this moment, Senju Hashirama's heart is filled with anger and confusion!
If Uto starts a war, or even ruthlessly kills Konoha's ninjas, Senju Hashirama will not feel angry, because the two sides are inherently hostile.
But Uchiha Madara now launches a war against Konoha without hesitation and even joins forces with Righteous Dou. Why doesn't this make Senju Hashirama feel sad and angry?
Since the Warring States Period, Senju Hashirama has regarded Madara Uchiha as his best friend, even if the two sides turned against each other in the end.
Senju Hashirama has always believed in his heart that Uchiha Madara may one day realize that Uchiha Madara only regards himself as a competitor and is unwilling to accept his failure.
But until now!
Seeing Uchiha Madara's still merciless behavior, Senju Hashirama suddenly realized that he might never really understand Uchiha Madara.
Faced with Senju Hashirama's questioning and anger.
Uchiha Madara still crossed his arms, with a calm and indifferent expression on his face, placed between Susanoo's brows.
"Hashirama, after so many years, you are still as naive as before."
"This world will never be as you wish from the beginning. The longer you live...the more you will realize that reality is full of helplessness, pain and emptiness."
When Uchiha Madara said this, his voice paused slightly, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Listen carefully, wherever there is light in everything in the world, there must be shadows. If there is a concept of a winner, then there must also be a loser."
"If you have such selfish thoughts as maintaining peace, you will start a war."
"If you want to protect, then love will inevitably lead to hate. There is a causal relationship between them and cannot be separated. This is reality!"
Uchiha Madara looked at Senju Hashirama with piercing eyes, with an indifferent yet firm tone in his voice.
There was a hint of astonishment on Senju Hashirama's face, and he looked at Uchiha Madara with a complicated look in his eyes.
"I see, is this what you really think?"
Senju Hashirama took a deep breath, stood up straight, and regained the calm look on his face.
Next!
Senju Hashirama showed a firm gaze on his face, looking at Madara Uchiha calmly, but there was already a slight coldness in his eyes at this moment.
"Madara, you only know that peace can lead to war, and protection can lead to hatred. But you don't understand the meaning of peace and protection at all."
"The compatriots of Konoha are part of my body, and the people in the village believe in me. I also believe in everyone. This is the Hokage, and this is where I want to protect me!"
Senju Hashirama's voice echoed over the entire battlefield.
A breath of horror and terror burst out from Senju Hashirama's body.
The powerful force, like a violent storm, was crushing in the direction of Uchiha Madara.
Since neither party can agree with the other's point of view, in the end it will be resolved with fists just like before.
"Madara! It seems I can only kill you once more!"
Senju Hashirama's cold voice came.
"Hahaha!"
"Hashirama, I didn't lose back then, and I won't lose now. Let's have a real fight!"
Uchiha Madara let out a wild laugh, his eyes flashing with a faint purple light.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Yang Gu's powerful auras collided and intertwined in the air, forming an invisible pressure that quickly spread to the surroundings.
The Konoha ninjas and Iwagakure ninjas on both sides felt this powerful pressure at the same time. Their hearts could not help but be shaken, and they kept retreating towards the rear.
The battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha was obviously not something that ninjas of their level could intervene in.
If you're not careful, the aftermath of the battle between the two of them will be enough to kill them on the spot.
Senju Hashirama's face was cold and he clapped his hands fiercely.
With this movement, the huge tree crown, which was originally calm like a bird's nest, suddenly started to shake.
Immediately afterwards, under everyone's somewhat astonished gaze, the giant tree, which was a hundred meters high, carried the meteorite on the crown of the tree and pressed slightly towards the ground.
The trunks of countless big trees are twisted and intertwined to form a giant tree, showing amazing resilience. The entire giant tree is like a bent spring.
In just one or two breaths, the giant tree bent down and the meteorite on the tree crown was projected in the direction of Susanoo.
The huge meteorite was like a comet hitting the earth, with terrifying air waves and roaring sounds, flying through the air and hitting it!
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Madara's eyes were slightly startled, and his vigorous pupils poured out instantly.
In Susanoo's hand, which was as big as a hill, a large amount of chakra quickly condensed into a blue chakra sword tens of meters long.
Madara Uchiha controlled the long sword in Susanoo's hand, aimed at the meteorite and slashed it out instantly.
The huge Susanoo didn't behave clumsily at all, but showed amazing speed.
Everyone only felt a blue light flashing in front of their eyes, followed by an extremely harsh "click" sound, exploding in the air.
The huge meteorite flying in the sky was cut in half by the sword in Susanoo's hand.
It fell towards both sides and hit the ground with a huge roar.
The whole earth was shaken, like a sudden earthquake!
While Senju Hashirama was using the toughness of the giant tree to throw the meteorite, Senju Hashirama did not stop his movements.
He naturally knew that the meteorites projected would not have much impact on the big guy Uchiha Madara.
"The Secret Technique of Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Senju Hashirama clapped his hands and let out a low shout, and the giant tree under his feet changed rapidly.
With the help of this giant tree created by the birth of the tree world, Senju Hashirama directly used a small amount of chakra to transform the entire tree into a huge wooden dragon.
"Roar!"
The wooden dragon let out a roar like a dragon's roar, and its huge body moved quickly from the ground.
While Madara Uchiha was using the long knife in his hand to chop up the meteorite, the huge wooden dragon appeared at Susanoo's feet.
The wooden dragon climbed onto Susanoo's body at an extremely fast speed and tied him up.
The position of the dragon's head was pointed in the direction of Susanoo's head, and it roared!
Uchiha Madara immediately felt the tremendous pressure from the wooden dragon's body binding Susanoo's position.
This binding force was extremely strong. The strong force caused some cracks to appear on Susanoo's body at the position where the wooden dragon was bound.
Susanoo, controlled by Madara Uchiha, wanted to use the sword in Susanoo's hand to chop in the direction of the wooden dragon.
However, because the binding force of the wooden dragon was too strong, both of Susanoo's arms were restrained by the wooden dragon and could not be lifted up at all.
At this moment, Senju Hashirama was already standing on top of Wood Dragon's head, exerting slight pressure on his feet.
The whole person disappeared instantly and turned into an afterimage, rushing towards Uchiha Madara's position.
In the blink of an eye!
Senju Hashirama had already appeared between Susanoo's eyebrows. He raised his fist and punched him!
boom!
A dull sound exploded in the air, and the spot between Susanoo's eyebrows was punched by Senju Hashirama with dense cracks.
Susanoo, who was nearly a hundred meters tall, was staggered by the force of this punch.
However, the crack between the eyebrows was instantly repaired by Uchiha Madara.
"Is this right! Hashirama!"
Madara Uchiha looked at Senju Hashirama through Susanoo with excitement.
Click! Click!
A quick crisp sound came from Susanoo's body again.
Although the cracks in Susanoo caused by the powerful binding law of the wooden dragon were quickly repaired, the binding power of the wooden dragon is also constantly getting stronger.
Obviously, Wood Dragon is absorbing Susanoo's chakra.
Madara Uchiha's eyes flashed slightly, he jumped out of the Susanoo and rushed towards Senju Hashirama.
The moment Uchiha Madara left Susanoo, the huge figure of Susanoo disappeared in an instant.
Without Susanoo, the wooden dragon naturally fell to the ground, making a huge roar.
In the air!
Uchiha Madara has already rushed in front of Senju Hashirama.
There was no nonsense between the two. Both sides directly used physical skills to attack each other in the air.
Senju Hashiramae punched Uchiha Madara in the chest, but Uchiha Madara ducked sideways.
At the same time, Uchiha Madara quickly turned around in the air and kicked Senju Hashirama's head in the direction of his whip leg.
Senju Hashirama raised his arm to block Uchiha Madara's whip leg, and also kicked him at the same time.
Uchiha Madara quickly crossed his hands in front of him to block Senju Hashirama's kick.
Bang! Bang!
Every time the two sides collided and exchanged blows, there was a heavy muffled sound in the air.
The battle continued from a height of about a hundred meters, and kept falling, until the two were about to be less than ten meters above the ground.
The two of them used the counter-shock force generated by the attacks from both sides to jump backwards at the same time, landing on the ground after several ups and downs.
The two stood on the battlefield, less than fifty meters apart from each other, looking at each other calmly!
Until this time.
On the battlefield, the ninjas from Konohagakure and Iwaga Hidden Village reacted.
Everyone looked at the center of the battlefield with shocked and dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
From the moment both sides took action until now, it was obviously only a short time ago, but it made all the ninjas present feel dazzled.
A battle of this level has already exceeded the imagination of everyone present.
"So strong!"
Mitarashi Anko swallowed her saliva, with a tremor in her voice.
"Sure enough, when Uchiha Madara fought against us all, he didn't use all his strength at all."
Asuma has recovered a lot through Shizune's treatment, with a hint of reluctance in her voice.
"A strong man of this level is really terrifying. If he were to face anyone, he would probably be killed in an instant."
Shiranui Genma complained softly with a hint of paleness on his face.
The words of a few people made all the ninjas present slightly silent.
But at this time.
A worried voice came, breaking the silence.
"Senju Hashirama-sama and Uchiha Madara are both so strong, so the first Mizukage Righto of Kirigakure Village may not be weaker than these two."
"Now Senju Hashirama-sama has dragged my Uchiha Madara, so who else in our village can drag him back from Kirigakure Village?"
Yuhi Hong's worried voice sounded in the field.
After hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, all the ninjas present could not help but feel deep in their hearts.
In fact, this worry is not limited to Yuhi Kurenai. All the ninjas present have long had this worry deep in their hearts, but no one took the initiative to raise it.
To be precise, I don’t dare!
With his hands folded across his chest and a calm and indifferent expression on his face, he placed himself between Susanoo's brows.
"Hashirama, after so many years, you are still as naive as before."
"This world will never be as you wish from the beginning. The longer you live...the more you will realize that reality is full of helplessness, pain and emptiness."
When Uchiha Madara said this, his voice paused slightly, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Listen carefully, wherever there is light in everything in the world, there must be shadows. If there is a concept of a winner, then there must also be a loser."
"If you have such selfish thoughts as maintaining peace, you will start a war."
"If you want to protect, then love will inevitably lead to hate. There is a causal relationship between them and cannot be separated. This is reality!"
Uchiha Madara looked at Senju Hashirama with piercing eyes, with an indifferent yet firm tone in his voice.
