Chapter 68
In terms of pure combat, even he himself couldn't compare to Madara Uchiha!!!
"Alright, Madara, Tobirama, your battle ends here!!"
"If you two keep fighting, I'm afraid the Senju clan's settlement will be torn apart by the two of you."
Looking at the pitted and uneven ground in the fighting arena,
Hashirama Senju was grateful that the two of them hadn't used any large-scale ninjutsu.
They had only used taijutsu for hand-to-hand combat,
yet produced such tremendous destructive force.
If the two of them went all out,
he would probably have to find a new place to serve as the Senju clan's settlement!!!
"Since Hashirama has said so much, I'll let you off the hook for today."
"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, feel free to come find me at the Uchiha clan. I'll keep you company anytime."
Looking at Tobirama Senju, who was panting heavily on the opposite side,
Madara Uchiha wore an arrogant smile on his face.
He was very satisfied with today's battle!!
He had finally seized an opportunity,
to thoroughly take Tobirama Senju down a notch!!!!
"Hmph!!! If it weren't for my big brother holding me back."
"I would definitely let you experience the taste of defeat at my hands today!!!"
Tobirama Senju secretly hid his trembling right hand behind his back.
He drew a sharp breath of cold air in his heart.
If Hashirama Senju hadn't stopped the two of them from continuing their fight,
this hand of his would probably have been crippled!!!!
Is every bone in Madara Uchiha's body made of iron?!!
Does he have no sense of pain at all?
After the two of them had engaged in such prolonged hand-to-hand combat,
Tobirama Senju felt that every single bone in his entire body,
and even every muscle, had reached a breaking point,
his body now conveyed to him only one word—pain!!!
He had never engaged in such an intense taijutsu battle with anyone before.
In past battles,
either he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take out the enemy directly,
or when he encountered an enemy he couldn't handle,
he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape,
leaving that enemy to Hashirama Senju.
Such prolonged, continuous, high-intensity combat,
had exceeded all of his battle experience!!!!
And Madara Uchiha, feeling the pain transmitted from his body,
wore a smile of both pleasure and agony on his face!!!
Tobirama Senju guessed wrong,
Madara Uchiha wasn't unable to feel the pain in his body,
but he had already grown accustomed to this kind of pain!!!!!!!
This pain didn't make Madara Uchiha feel uncomfortable; instead, it made him feel extremely pleased!!!
As for tonight's battle,
Madara Uchiha was already quite satisfied!!!
Although Tobirama Senju's taijutsu couldn't compare to his, it surpassed that of most people!!!
Even within the Uchiha clan, there were only a few people stronger than Tobirama Senju.
All in all,
Madara Uchiha was very satisfied today with Tobirama Senju's performance as a human punching bag!!!
"... Madara Uchiha... just you wait!!"
"I will definitely come back!!!"
And Tobirama Senju, whenever he thought of the battle just now,
a nameless fury rose in his heart!!!
So after thinking it over, he could only throw out this harsh line!!
Watching Tobirama Senju's departing figure,
Hashirama Senju gave a helpless smile.
"Tobirama... he actually holds no ill will toward you or the Uchiha clan..."
"Alright... alright, you don't need to say more."
"I naturally wouldn't get angry at a little kid."
"Besides, his performance tonight wasn't bad."
"It's been a long time since I found such a durable punching bag..."
He waved his hand dismissively, Madara Uchiha said without a care.
To him,
how others saw him, how others thought of him,
simply did not matter.
Apart from growing stronger and fighting, he did not bother with anything else!!!
How could the road to the summit tolerate so many distracting thoughts?
Right now there was still the great mountain of Hashirama Senju waiting for him to climb!!!
Before surpassing Hashirama Senju,
Madara Uchiha did not dare to relax in the slightest!!!
Because he also knew just how hard Hashirama Senju worked,
the intensity of his training was no less than his own!!!
"Hashirama... if it were before."
"I really couldn't imagine that the two of us could drink and chat happily like today, sit together and talk freely about life and ideals..."
Gazing at the star-filled sky and Hashirama Senju standing beside him,
Madara Uchiha said with a faint smile.
"Madara, I've said it long ago."
"As long as you and I join forces."
"There is nothing we cannot achieve."
Hashirama Senju's words revealed an overwhelming confidence.
Hearing this,
Madara Uchiha gave a helpless laugh.
He didn't know why either,
from the first time he met Hashirama Senju several years ago,
he somehow knew that Hashirama Senju was surely a person who could change everything!!
As for why he had such a feeling,
Madara Uchiha himself could not explain!!!
It was just like how he didn't know why he trusted Hashirama Senju's words so deeply,
as if this man's words possessed a kind of magical power,
making people unable to help but want to believe him!!!
Even through the screen,
End of Chapter
