That unique, eternal kaleidoscope pattern, imprinted deep within his soul.
He will never admit his mistake!
Madara Uchiha! Only Madara has these kinds of markings!
"Sand?! It's Sand's eyes! You...you possessed this child?!"
Hashirama's voice was filled with shock, anger, and unbelievable heartache.
He could not accept that the soul of his lifelong friend would do such a despicable thing as possessing a descendant!
Madara, who was wearing Naruto's appearance, let out a cold snort, his voice carrying his unique arrogance and a hint of disdain for Hashirama's "stupid" judgment.
"Hashirama, it's been so many years, has your brain been filled with Wood Release?"
He controlled Naruto's body, one hand on his hip, looking down at him with an air of superiority: "I have no interest in possessing other people, let alone my own son."
At this point, Madara deliberately glanced at Tobirama: "Don't compare me to your brother Tobirama, who likes to play with souls!"
"Your son?!"
Tobirama Senju shouted sternly, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through "Naruto's" body: "Madara Uchiha! Don't spout nonsense! When have you ever had any offspring?"
"Furthermore, you are currently occupying this blond boy's body and controlling his actions. How is this any different from possession?!"
"Oh, a frog in a well."
Ban chuckled and offered no further explanation. He quickly formed hand seals, his movements concise yet powerful.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang! White smoke exploded, and a shadow clone that looked exactly like "Naruto" appeared next to the original.
"Minato," Madara's consciousness called out within the sealed space.
Minato responded gently, his consciousness instantly taking over the newly created shadow clone.
In the real world, two Narutos simultaneously perform hand seals.
"Transformation!"
Another plume of white smoke rose.
As the smoke cleared, one of Naruto's figures transformed into Madara's appearance.
The other one transformed into a handsome and gentle young man wearing the robes of the Fourth Hokage, with dazzling short golden hair.
The two suddenly appeared in front of the two Hokage resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique!
"First generation sir, second generation sir!"
Minato (Shadow Clone) bowed slightly, his voice clear and resonant, conveying respect for his predecessors, yet his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village—Minato Namikaze!"
I've tried my best, but this chapter probably won't be that good.
Chapter 117 The Battle of the Strongest of the Past
"The Yondaime?!"
Hashirama Senju was stunned, staring at the handsome, blond youth before him, who exuded both powerful confidence and a gentle aura.
Recalling what the two looked like before their transformation, the sheer volume of information left him momentarily confused.
"The Hokage... has already reached the fourth generation? You're next after the monkey?"
His gaze shifted back and forth between Minato and the Third Generation, the sadness in his eyes replaced by a hint of relief and curiosity.
Tobirama Senju, however, was more focused on the way Minato appeared and the extremely familiar spatial fluctuations emanating from him.
His sharp gaze was fixed on Minato: "Minato Namikaze? The kunai that just pierced through the Four Purple Flames Formation... that must have been the Flying Thunder God Technique... Your use of the Flying Thunder God Technique... is extremely exquisite!"
As the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he immediately recognized Minato's improvements and innovations in the application of the technique.
A complex light flashed in his eyes, a mixture of surprise, scrutiny, and even a barely perceptible hint of admiration.
"Our reminiscing is now over!"
Orochimaru's sharp, piercing voice, like a venomous snake's hiss, abruptly interrupted this brief but dramatic reunion.
His golden vertical pupils flashed with coldness and madness as he unleashed the full power of the Impure World Reincarnation technique: "It's time to act! Two Hokage-sama! Kill them!"
He couldn't tolerate the plans being disrupted again and again, especially when he saw Minato Namikaze "resurrected" in this way; a strong sense of unease gripped him.
"Madara! Sarutobi! Fourth Hokage! Stop us!"
Hashirama Senju suddenly roared, and his body began to uncontrollably gather chakra under the force of the Impure World Reincarnation.
His face was filled with pain and struggle.
He didn't want to harm his juniors, and he certainly didn't want to destroy Konoha!
But he could not defy the spell's binding command!
Tobirama Senju's face was also ashen, and he assumed a fighting stance, unleashing a powerful aura instantly.
"Big Brother is right! Show no mercy! Stop us with all your might! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
He was well aware of the terrifying power he and his elder brother possessed after being resurrected using Edo Tensei.
Even with only half of his original chakra and peak strength, he was still no ordinary person!
Madara, controlling his true form, locked onto Hashirama Senju with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. A surge of immense battle intent mixed with chakra erupted forth: "That scoundrel hiding in the corner is yours to handle."
He was referring to Orochimaru.
Without turning his head, Madara said, "Minato, Tobirama is yours. Your Flying Thunder God Technique is the fastest I've ever seen. Let me see what tricks you, as his successor, can pull off."
Minato (Shadow Clone)'s eyes narrowed, and three specially made Flying Thunder God kunai instantly appeared in his hands. His azure eyes sharply locked onto Tobirama Senju: "Understood! Madara-san!"
"Leave Hashirama to me!"
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stared at the unimaginable scene before him—
The legendary Madara Uchiha and the supposedly deceased Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze (shadow clone) appeared at the same time and stood on Konoha's side!
An indescribable warmth and a strong sense of confidence welled up in his chest.
He gripped his Vajra Staff tightly, his aged but still upright spine radiating an astonishing aura: "Lord Madara, Minato, thank you so much! Orochimaru... I, this incompetent teacher, will personally cleanse this sect!"
The battle between Madara and Hashirama is about to begin!
Both sides knew that the impure bodies and possession/controlling abilities prevented them from unleashing their full-fledged, world-destroying power.
But this actually brought the battle back to a purer contest of technique, experience, and chakra control!
"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"
Under the forced technique, Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together abruptly, his voice filled with pain yet still booming.
Although its power was far less than at its peak, the immense chakra still caused the entire roof to tremble!
Dozens of giant trees, as thick as water vats, broke through the roof and grew wildly like angry dragons, strangling and killing Ban!
Sharp wooden spikes rained down like a storm! Instantly, nearly a third of the space within the barrier was transformed into a dangerous wooden domain!
"Hmph, Hashirama, with the Impure World Reincarnation and being controlled, even your Wood Release has been weakened?"
Ban's voice carried a hint of cold mockery.
The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, discerning the trajectory of each giant tree and the gaps between its splinters.
He did not summon Susanoo, but merely channeled chakra to allow his body to briefly unleash powerful energy.
One of the Sound Four who was maintaining the barrier couldn't help but gasp.
In their eyes, the black-clad figure's movements were perfectly executed.
Each dodge precisely grazed the edge of the giant tree, and each jump landed on a node of the branch to gain momentum and bounce back.
The dense splinters often grazed his clothes, but could not harm him in the slightest!
This is a perfect combination of Madara Uchiha's fighting instincts and Sharingan predictions, honed through countless life-and-death battles!
"Physical techniques combined with insight... Madara, you're still the same as ever!"
A hint of solemnity and...nostalgia flashed in Hashirama Senju's eyes?
He knew that even if his Wood Release technique was halved, its power was still formidable.
Madara's ability to dodge attacks using only physical techniques requires not only extraordinary speed and reaction time, but also unparalleled battlefield awareness!
"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishing Arrows!"
While moving at high speed, Madara seized an opening in the giant tree's attack, took a deep breath, and his chest bulged!
A blazing, violent orange wave of fire erupted forth!
Although its scale was not as large as the previous "Extinguishing Fire," its firepower far exceeded that of the "Extinguishing Fire."
The terrifying flames, carrying the power to incinerate everything, crashed violently into the oncoming giant trees and spiky sap!
Chi Chi Chi -!
The fire wave clashed violently with the wood-style energy! The giant tree was ignited, and the wooden spikes were burned away!
High-temperature steam filled the air, accompanied by explosive sounds! The temperature inside the barrier rose sharply!
"Wood Release·Wood Spindle Wall!"
Hashirama reacted incredibly quickly, slamming his hands on the ground! A row of thick wooden pillars instantly arched up, forming a shield to block the wave of fire!
The wave of fire crashed against the wooden wall, creating a deafening roar! The wooden wall was charred and cracked, but it successfully blocked the fire blast!
"It's not over yet!"
Madara's voice was filled with fighting spirit. Under the cover of the flames, he had already manipulated Naruto's body to move like a ghost to the blind spot on the side of the wooden wall!
Susanoo instantly appeared beside Madara, and the blue longsword held high was suddenly swung down.
"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"
Hashirama sensed the threat and activated the technique without hesitation!
A wooden dragon, slightly smaller than the previous psychic serpent but still ferocious and enormous, roared as it emerged from the ground!
