Chapter 67

Dodging Tobirama Senju's attacks by pure bodily instinct alone,

was something he had never been able to do before.

"This guy!!!"

Tobirama Senju, who was constantly shifting his body in search of an opening to attack,

was also feeling a surge of irritation in his heart.

He could never find a suitable moment to strike,

because even he had not expected

that Uchiha Madara's taijutsu would be this strong!!!!

Like everyone outside, he had only thought of Uchiha Madara's Sharingan,

but had overlooked that he also possessed formidable taijutsu!!!!

"Now!!!!"

Seeing Uchiha Madara leave a wide opening,

Tobirama Senju's gaze hardened,

and at last he had seized an opening!!!!

Yet at this moment, the corner of Uchiha Madara's mouth curved into a strange smile,

watching Hashirama Senju's body charging toward him,

Uchiha Madara slightly twisted his body,

he stretched out his right hand and fiercely gripped Tobirama Senju's wrist!!!

"You've been tricked!!!"

Uchiha Madara's right hand, like an iron clamp, viciously seized Tobirama Senju.

Only now did Tobirama Senju realize

that he had fallen into Uchiha Madara's trap!!!

Uchiha Madara's right leg bent slightly,

"Whoosh—"

and like a cannonball, it brutally slammed into Tobirama Senju's abdomen!!!

At this moment, a sense of helplessness also welled up in Tobirama Senju's heart.

Facing Uchiha Madara at this point,

he even felt as though he were facing his own elder brother Tobirama Senju!!!

Even using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could not match his pace!!!

Before Tobirama Senju could even assume a defensive stance,

he saw Uchiha Madara before his eyes turn into a blur and vanish on the spot!!!

57. I wonder if you have any interest in the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan?

【Orochimaru: It seems this battle is pretty much what we all expected… Although the Second Hokage's strength is not bad, facing Uchiha Madara, he's still more than one step behind.】

【Uchiha Madara: Heh… In the entire Senju clan, only Hashirama is worthy of being my opponent. A mere Tobirama Senju — what gives him the right to dare provoke me?】

【Tobirama Senju: Every trade has its specialty. Combat isn't my forte. No matter how strong you are, can you be as strong as my elder brother?】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Power is merely an external thing. What truly matters is a person's conviction. Power may not earn everyone's recognition, but possessing enough conviction can achieve that — and this is precisely what the Will of Fire teaches us!!】

【Orochimaru: Old man… You've even started deceiving yourself now? The Will of Fire… how laughable!!】

【Shimura Danzo: Hiruzen, this is the power of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. I told you long ago — we should intensify our research and development on them.】

【Naruto Uzumaki: So the Uchiha clan actually has such a strong ninja too? Then why doesn't that cocky Sasuke have this kind of strength?】

【Uchiha Sasuke: You detestable bastard!! Naruto!! I'll kill you!!】

【Kushina Uzumaki: I didn't expect the bond between Naruto and Sasuke to look surprisingly good, did it?】

【Naruto Uzumaki: My relationship with him is anything but good!!!】

【Uchiha Sasuke: My relationship with him is anything but good!!!】

……

As Uchiha Madara kept intensifying his assault,

Tobirama Senju was also beginning to falter!!!!!!!

After barely dodging another kick from Uchiha Madara,

his movements also began growing slower and slower.

He had never imagined

that Uchiha Madara's taijutsu would be this overwhelmingly strong!!!!

In past battles,

Uchiha Madara had always relied on his Sharingan to finish off enemies,

or used the Uchiha clan's fire-release ninjutsu.

He rarely used his own taijutsu in combat,

which led Tobirama Senju to assume Uchiha Madara's taijutsu might not be all that strong!!!!

"Uchiha Madara!!! You despicable bastard!!! …"

Amid Uchiha Madara's storm-like onslaught,

Tobirama Senju said, his face filled with unwillingness.

Amid such swift and dense taijutsu strikes,

he couldn't even bring out his Flying Thunder God Technique anymore!!!!

Just after dodging Madara Uchiha's attack,

his next strike immediately closed in for point-blank output!!!

It didn't give Tobirama Senju any chance to react!!!

Only at this moment did Tobirama Senju realize,

without knowing it, he had fallen right into Madara Uchiha's trap!!!

Everything Madara Uchiha had just done was to provoke him,

forcing him into close-quarters combat!!!

If he had used the Flying Thunder God Technique,

Madara Uchiha would have had absolutely no way to deal with him!!!

If the Sharingan had been used,

perhaps he could still have caught the traces of him using the Flying Thunder God Technique!!!!

But without the Sharingan,

Madara Uchiha had no idea where he would appear from!!!

Tobirama Senju understood,

he had already fallen into Madara Uchiha's snare!!!

If he wanted to use the Flying Thunder God Technique now,

there was no chance left!!

"That guy Madara…"

Hashirama Senju, standing off to the side, watched the two fight and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Everyone might have a certain degree of misunderstanding about Madara Uchiha,

thinking he was a brute who only knew how to solve every battle with brute force!!!

But only Hashirama Senju himself knew,

Madara Uchiha was never a brainless brute when it came to combat!!!

It was just because the enemies he usually encountered were all too weak,

so Madara Uchiha disdained using any tactics to deal with them,

he only needed to use his immense power to steamroll forward,

that was the simplest and most convenient method!!!!

But Hashirama Senju knew, this was merely Madara Uchiha's own disguise.

His sense of smell in combat was extremely keen.
