Naruto, Madara is my girl.

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Hehehe, You're Too Naive



A wooden golem nearly a hundred meters high suddenly rose from the ground. Its sturdy body and ferocious face showed that the power of this ninjutsu was unfathomable.

As the strongest of the tailed beasts, the Nine, Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb is also the strongest among them. The diameter of the Tailed Beast Bomb is over five meters, and one strike could turn an area of hundreds of meters into a deep pit.

Allowing the Nine, Tails to use its Tailed Beast Bomb at will would result in destructive power enough to change the terrain itself.

And now, the Tailed Beast Bomb of the Nine, Tailed Fox, known as the strongest, and the Wooden Golem Technique, renowned for its unparalleled combat power, had directly collided.

Boom…

A huge amount of dust rose again, covering the figures of Madara and the Nine, Tails.

An explosion caused an immense wind pressure, blowing away the remaining ninjas of the Taketori clan who had just fled a few steps, tossing them around like scraps of paper.

Such was the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb that even armies several kilometers away were struck by winds as powerful as a Category 8 typhoon.

"How, how is this possible?"

Countless mid, and lower, level ninjas looked at the Nine, Tails, who could easily cause natural disasters, and their faces showed disbelief. Some even collapsed to the ground out of fear.

"It's just a tailed beast! There's nothing to be afraid of. Lord Hashirama will not be defeated so easily."

Seeing their clansmen falter, ninja clan leaders began scolding them immediately.

Even scolding served as a way to encourage themselves.

Indeed, they were just tailed beasts. Throughout the Warring States Period, no clan leader who allied with the Senju had ever feared those wild beasts. Even if they lacked the strength to take on a tailed beast directly, it wouldn't merit ridicule.

However, this only applied to tailed beasts one through eight. The Nine, Tails was an exception.

As a creation of the Sage of Six Paths, the Nine, Tailed Fox was undoubtedly his most favored.

Compared to other tailed beasts, whose strength could range from one to three, the Nine, Tails ranked closer to a ten. Its strength transcended ordinary tailed beasts and made it an opponent no clan wanted to face.

Yet under the worried gazes of several clan leaders, Hashirama's Wooden Arhat emerged again from the smoke and dust. Its fist, large as a house, rushed toward the Nine, Tails once again.

"Good!"

"Lord Hashirama is incredible!"

Morale surged instantly, leaping from its lowest ebb to a new high, and cheers erupted from every direction.

However, even though ninja morale improved, it did not change how the clan leaders felt, especially about tailed beast resurrection. Once slain, tailed beasts would revive after several decades and retain their memories.

When reborn, they would seek vengeance. No ninja clan wanted to provoke an invincible "natural disaster."

For this reason, no clan had willingly provoked a tailed beast even after generations of war had passed.

Now, with the Nine, Tails, the strongest and possessing the most chakra, standing on Uchiha Madara's side, it created an unkillable and unignorable threat.

Fortunately, clever minds existed among their allies. The head of the Nara clan within "Ino, Shika, Cho" immediately thought of a countermeasure upon seeing the Nine, Tails appear.

"Hurry! Ask the Uzumaki clan for help and have them use their sealing techniques!"

A message was transmitted at once, and returned shortly after.

"Regretfully, our duty is to protect headquarters."

Surprised by this answer, the Nara leader momentarily froze.

Yamanaka's chief lashed out immediately.

"What nonsense! You won't seal it? You're making us fight that monster?! Has Senju abandoned us? Hey! Chongci! Say SOMETHING!"

Akimichi Shigeki simply smiled at his friend's frustration. "Senju wouldn't do that… They… probably wouldn't."

At that moment, Nara's head interrupted him.

"The one running our headquarters is Senju Akira, a wise strategist. If sealing hasn't begun, it means it's not time for action. Let's wait."

"But…"

Yamanaka began to speak but stopped when he realized his counterpart made sense. With Senju Akira and Thousand Stars present, both who could maneuver from afar, they had little reason to panic.

He wisely shut his mouth and turned back toward the battlefield.

Boom. Boom. Boom…

A wooden arhat nearly a hundred meters high, and a wooden dragon just as big, were battling against the Nine, Tailed Fox. It looked like an ancient myth unfolding in front of them.

Each strike carried inhuman power. Each impact raised thick clouds of dust or shattered stretches of earth, and each blow surpassed even what elite clan leaders could produce. Even being near their clashes warped terrain by the second.

Anyone who questioned "unparalleled combat power" now understood why that title existed, and might soon see it elevated to "God of Ninja."

Assuming Hashirama won. If not, that title would fall to Uchiha Madara instead.

While Hashirama controlled the Wooden Arhat mid, battle, Madara stood across from him, arms folded over her chest, not moving at ALL.

Clearly… Madara had the upper hand.

Back in Uchiha's camp, figures emerged fast.

They were clearly getting ready to push forward, and take advantage of their momentum.

Tobirama kept watch from several kilometers away using a perception, based mirror technique combined with sealing principles. He saw everything, but he wasn't angry at their advance. On the contrary… he smiled.

"No wonder they're so confident Uchiha will win…"

Tobirama glanced at Akira, still playing cards, and at the relaxed expressions on members of the Uzumaki clan nearby… then understood their plan completely.

There's no way Uchiha could've tamed that fox without Uzumaki help… unless… it was Senju Akira behind it.

Despite hating betrayal, even toward allies, Tobirama said nothing aloud; family matters stayed internal until proven otherwise. And whether or not Akira plotted anything…

His influence on morale was undeniable. If word spread that "Hundreds of Wisdom and Strategies" had defected, it might crush allied morale instantly.

"He used the fox to boost firepower… pulled in Uzumaki so they couldn't oppose him… Is he trying to drown brother in sheer force?"

"Naive… Even if Madara held back my brother, it's also my brother holding back Madara!"

"Before now… only because Madara existed could Uchiha match Senju… And now? Our power goes beyond just bloodline!"

Tobirama couldn't be certain of Hashirama's true limit, but he knew what needed doing next:

"Full army attack!"

Orders flew instantly across communication lines, and already, excited ninjas burst forward into assault formations as soon as word arrived.

Tobirama should have felt thrilled, but a shadow crept into his mind instead, a nagging tension that grew worse by the second…

Right then, Akira flipped down his last card onto the table:

"Hehehe… You're too naive, Mito~ Why'd you think I only had ONE big move?"

"A~ah! Akira! You're doing this again, you always trap me!"

"Well~ you fall for my traps too easily…"

Those around them barely registered what changed, but Tobirama did IMMEDIATELY.

"You realized too late."

Tobirama shouted across headquarters:

"Pull everyone back! Now!"

A moment later, tailed beast bombs launched from Uchiha's side, inbound toward advancing Senju forces.
