The Battle Between Best Friends

Under Madara's Genjutsu, Kyubi went on a rampage, destroying the surrounding buildings.

Its claws knocked down a three story building, and its nine tails swayed destroying houses.

In just a short time, Kyubi has done a lot of damage.

In his mouth, the concentration of chakra condensed into a ball.

Bijuudama!

Kyubi fires Bijuudama towards the statue of the First Hokage's head which is engraved on the hill.

Ars appeared above the head of the statue, his expression calm, waiting for the arrival of the Bijuudama.

When the Bijuudama was only a few meters away from him, he took action.

*👏🏻*

Along with his applause, the Bijuudama suddenly disappeared.

*BOOOMMMM*

In the next scene, a violent explosion is seen in the distance.

"Finally you appeared, Ars..."

Standing on top of Kyubi's head, Madara with his arms folded across his chest, stared at the figure above the statue's head.

Ars appeared in a four story building in front of Kyubi.

The two stared at each other and the atmosphere was so silent.

The atmosphere didn't last long after Hashirama and the other Shinobi came.

"Madara, stop all of this!"

"Hashirama. We have nothing to talk about." Madara said indifferently.

Kyubi continued its rampage, but the dragon-shaped wood easily held it back.

"Ars, can you move us. If it continues like this, Konoha will be destroyed."

Hashirama asked while fighting Madara in a Taijutsu battle.

He knew Ars's spacetime achievement was more profound than his younger brother's.

Tobirama and other Shinobi also joined, but they were no match for Madara and were defeated.

"Okay, time to use the formation I prepared beforehand."

"[Teleportation]."

After Ars said that, a gigantic magic circle appeared on the ground.

Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Kyubi, Hashirama, and Madara disappeared.

Tobirama appeared in front of Ars, and asked: "Where did you move them?"

"Valley of the End." Ars said.

"Tobirama, you have to take care of matters here. I will watch their fight."

"Wait---"

Not waiting for Tobirama to finish his interest, Ars disappeared.

"Tsk, why did someone like that become the Guardian of Konoha. He is more like a threat than an ally."

Tobirama never liked Ars. In his opinion, the young man was too dangerous and needed to be restrained. Unfortunately, the decision to make him a Guardian was made by Madara and his older brother.

"Let it be, big brother will definitely win. There are many issues to be resolved."

Seeing the destruction caused by Kyubi, Tobirama pouted.

He wasn't worried about his elder brother's safety at all. He was sure Madara would lose.

...

Ars appeared 1000 meters above the Valley of the End and used [Far Sight] to watch the two fight.

"Watching live gives a much different sensation than watching through a screen."

While eating popcorn, he had no intention of interfering. It's a form of respect for the two of them as warriors.

At the Valley of the End, Hashirama unrolled and threw shuriken, kunai, etc.

Madara's pupils rolled, and then all the weapons backed away.

"So that's Madara's Dojutsu, rewinds time by a few seconds and stops the time of another object or person."

As an observer, Ars was surprised to see this.

After 30 minutes of fighting, both of them got serious.

Madara combined Susano'o and Kyubi, while Hashirama created a giant wooden statue with a giant wooden dragon on his shoulder.

The battle between giants begins!

"Indra and Asura's reincarnation battle in this generation surpasses those of their predecessors. This is a spectacular fight!"

Ars can't help but comment like a football commentator commenting on a match.

The fight continued, Hashirama had used Sage Mode, and Madara was at a disadvantage.

The mountain was split by Susano'o's slash, the trees in the forest were destroyed, the ground formed a ravine, and other natural damage.

Without realizing it, the fight between the two of them had lasted more than six hours. But there are no signs of it ending soon.

Hashirama could recharge chakra by absorbing natural chakra with Sage Mode. On the other hand, Madara controls Kyubi to refill chakra.

Even though Hashirama was indeed stronger than Madara, the difference in strength between the two wasn't too great, so this fight dragged on and on.

In the air, Ars watched while smoking a cigarette.

"No wonder Kyubi hates Madara so much, that he is willing to help Naruto. He is nothing more than a tool in the eyes of the strong."

Kyubi has almost unlimited chakra, and many people want to take advantage of it.

Ars himself is not very interested in Bijuu. Its main body has unlimited energy, so why catch a Bijuu?

...

At 4:22 a.m.

The fight is at its peak.

Hashirama created a super-sized wooden Buddha, even bigger than Susano'o and Kyubi combined.

It didn't stop there, the wooden Buddha had countless hands.

"This is like the battle of Indra and Asura back then."

Ars is feeling nostalgic.

He was an old fossil who witnessed the progress of this world, and this fight reminded him of Asura and Indra's fight that happened 800 years ago.

*Crush-Bang*

Susano'o on Kyubi shattered after being hit by countless hands. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hashirama freed Kyubi from the Genjutsu.

"Madara!!!"

"Hashirama!!!"

The two started another fierce fight.

...

Even though it's raining, it doesn't stop the fight between two friends who have conflicting ideologies.

After hours of fighting, the battlefield was badly damaged. Now, the two of them were standing at the bottom of the ruined valley.

Hashirama was breathing hard while holding the katana in his right hand, his armor was partially destroyed, there were wounds all over his body, and his left hand had burns so it couldn't be moved.

On the other hand, Madara wasn't in much better shape. He was breathing heavily due to extreme exhaustion, his armor was completely destroyed and he was only wearing the clothes of the Uchiha Clan, his body was covered in wounds, and his eyes ached from overuse of the Sharingan.

"This is it, you'll never get to the other side!" Madara said with a sinister smile.

Hashirama didn't reply, and he ran towards him.

*Whooosh*

The two of them passed each other while swinging the weapons in their hands.

Hashirama fell to his stomach on the surface of the water, while Madara was shaking with a scythe and fan in his hand.

"I'm the only person who can survive until the last second." Madara said without turning around.

"Gh... I will protect our dream, which has come this far. I won't let you…"

Holding his chest which had a slash wound, Hashirama tried to stand up.

"You look really depressed, Hashirama. Like when you don't want to face me." Madara stared coldly at Hashirama.

Hashirama closed his eyes, and past memories appeared in his stock.

*JLEB*

Madara's eyes opened wide as he saw the katana pierce his left chest from behind. Glancing back, he saw Hashirama behind him and stabbed him. Then he looked forward to see Hashirama reduced to wood.

"Clone... How did you get behind me?"

"There's nothing to think about. I will stick to our dream… No, our village."

"I still believe... Protecting the village is the best way to protect the people, Shinobi, and children. Whoever dares to damage it, even if he is my friend, my brother, or my son, then..."

"I will never forgive it."

For the first time, Hashirama took a firm stance, much to Madara's surprise.

"You have changed Hashirama..." Madara answered weakly when the katana that stabbed his chest was pulled, and he knelt on one knee.

"You're the culprit for all of this... One day, what became darkness... And enveloped the village..."

*Thud*

Madara's eyes slowly closed, his voice grew weaker, and he fell to the ground.

After feeling the absence of vitality in Madara, Hashirama's tense nerves relaxed. He was on one knee and enduring the pain from his injuries.
