Chapter 443

But they never expected,

Madara Uchiha was defeated so easily by Hashirama Senju!!

Moreover,

it seemed Madara Uchiha had also prepared an extremely powerful technique,

yet before Hashirama Senju, it made not the slightest difference!!

He was still swiftly defeated by Hashirama Senju!!

At this moment, Tobirama Senju and the others finally understood,

just how vast the gap was between Hashirama Senju and them!!

Seeing Madara Uchiha flying backward!!

They now realized Madara Uchiha had truly given his all!!

But the gap between him and Hashirama Senju was just as immense as the gap between them and Hashirama Senju!!

Seeing Madara Uchiha's face filled with resentment,

Hashirama Senju himself didn't know what to say to Madara Uchiha!

Because he had already held back on him!

Yet the gap between him and Madara Uchiha still could not be bridged!!

Hashirama Senju helplessly rubbed his nose,

even he himself hadn't expected,

that he would defeat Madara Uchiha so easily!!

Hashirama Senju had even been thinking,

when would he finally have a truly satisfying battle with Madara Uchiha,

but he never expected,

that Madara Uchiha was this weak!!

【Jiraiya: The First Hokage has grown even stronger… Madara Uchiha has no chance against him… This is terrifying!!!】

【Orochimaru: Madara Uchiha thought that after reaching the Six Paths level, his situation against the First Hokage would improve—but he never imagined this!! The First Hokage has never truly used his full power!!】

【Tsunade: How could Madara Uchiha possibly be a match for Grandpa? In their previous battles, Grandpa has always been holding back on Madara Uchiha!!】

【Fourth Raikage: I wonder what Madara Uchiha could possibly do to defeat the First Hokage in this state?】

【Ōnoki: Madara Uchiha must be close to giving up— the gap in strength between them is simply too enormous, even greater than the gap between a Kage and a genin!!】

【Minato Namikaze: What's truly terrifying isn't the First Hokage's power, but his rate of growth… Every time you advance in strength, his grows even stronger… and you can't even perceive the gap between you two!!】

【Kushina Uzumaki: Sigh… It seems Mizuha Grandma will never achieve her wish—could she and the First Hokage ever truly be together?】

"Madara… just surrender."

"Though your strength has improved considerably since before,"

"this alone is impossible to defeat me…"

"At least, not now—you're no match for me."

"You'd better return and thoroughly master your Rinnegan first…"

Hashirama Senju raised an eyebrow,

and said to Madara Uchiha with a faint smile!!

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words,

Madara Uchiha remained silent,

let out a cold snort!!

To Madara Uchiha,

Hashirama Senju's demeanor at this moment filled him with intense irritation!!

He knew,

this was Hashirama Senju's true self!!

Though Hashirama Senju always wore a faint smile on his face,

appearing utterly gentle!!

Yet his inner pride was more terrifying than anyone else's!

He was even more terrifying than himself!!

Madara Uchiha believed there were things he himself could never do,

yet Hashirama Senju could do them all!!

"Madara… if you still wish to keep fighting me and refuse to give up…"

"I suggest you bring Tobirama and the others with you…"

"The four of you together might be able to affect me somewhat…"

"But you alone can never pose any real threat to me…"

After speaking to Madara Uchiha,

Hashirama Senju glanced again toward Tobirama Senju and the others!!

After hearing his words,

Tobirama Senju and the other three couldn't help but twitch their eyes,

at this moment,

they even felt Hashirama Senju looked more despicable than Madara Uchiha!!

Because at this moment,

Hashirama Senju appeared vastly more arrogant than Madara Uchiha,

even completely ignoring the four of them!!

"……Hashirama… I admit your strength is immense…"

"But to fight all four of us at once—even you—couldn't possibly come out unscathed…"

Uzumaki Mito stepped forward slowly,

raising an eyebrow at Hashirama Senju.

And besides him, the faces of the other three were filled with resentment toward Hashirama Senju!!

They never imagined,

that Hashirama Senju would dare speak to them like this!!

Hashirama Senju, seeing their expressions, said nothing more,

only smiled, revealing an expression of utter indifference!!

He slowly raised his right arm,

gesturing to Uzumaki Mito and the others with a "after you" motion!!

"You three… this is my battle with Hashirama!!"

"You don't need to interfere…"

Seeing the three still trying to join his battle with Hashirama Senju,

Madara Uchiha's face showed an expression of utter disbelief!!

The three of you together couldn't even defeat me,

how could you possibly affect Hashirama Senju!!

If you three join my battle with Hashirama Senju,

won't you just become a liability?

You might not help at all,

but drag me down instead!!

So Madara Uchiha had not the slightest fondness for these three,

he even deeply despised them for trying to interfere and make things worse!!

"Hmph…"

After hearing Madara Uchiha's words,

the three's faces twisted into awkward expressions!

They remembered just how badly they'd been crushed by Madara Uchiha just moments ago!!
