Facing Senju Butsuma, who was rushing towards him and attacking his vital points,
Uchiha Tajima did not dodge but rushed towards Senju Butsuma.
Looking at Uchiha Tajima rushing towards him with a grin, Senju Butsuma was not afraid.
He felt the will and conviction of his old rival.
So, just go to hell!
The weapon, which had been aimed at the old rival, now stabbed even faster and more fiercely towards the opponent's heart.
"No!"
Uchiha Madara, who was being dragged back by his own brother, looked at his father determined to die, and extreme sadness surged in his heart.
I am still too weak.
Otherwise, this battle would not have been lost at all.
If he had not been unable to defeat Hashirama, his father and many of his clansmen would not have stayed here to entangle the Senju shinobi.
The world seen by the Sharingan was running exceptionally slowly at this moment.
An ominous scarlet light gathered in Uchiha Madara's eyes.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara's ocular power was growing wildly due to his extreme unwillingness and pain of losing his father.
"Brother!"
Uchiha Izuna, who was holding Uchiha Madara, also had tears falling from his eyes.
He didn't dare look behind him.
He was afraid that he would not be able to remain calm after seeing his father die.
At this time, only Uchiha Izuna could persuade his elder brother to retreat.
If he couldn't keep calm, all the people in the Uchiha clan would have to die here today!
The more clearly and coldly he analyzed the current situation, the more an indescribable sorrow settled in his heart.
He had to be the first to make the decision to retreat—to watch his father stay behind to die as a cover—while he had to leave here with his eldest brother.
The pain that Uchiha Izuna suffered was no less than that of his elder brother, Uchiha Madara.
At this moment, after Uchiha Izuna left him, Tobirama Senju, who had been approaching his father, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great.
I've been staying with my two old fathers, waiting for this moment.
He took out two stones from his arms.
His pupils, which were also somewhat red, stared accurately at the two people attacking each other.
With a whoosh, the stone thrown from his hands easily hit the weapons in the hands of the two men.
Clang!
Puff, puff!
After using these two stones to deflect the weapons of the two old fathers,
Tobirama saw that the vital points they had originally aimed at were avoided because of him.
Though still seriously injured, at least they weren't dead. With timely treatment, they could survive!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Tobirama rushed forward again.
The two men, failing to hit each other's vital points, continued to punch and kick each other.
Tobirama pushed the seriously injured Uchiha Tajima to the ground.
At the same time, because he had suppressed Uchiha Tajima, it was difficult for his father, Senju Butsuma, to continue taking action.
"Get out of the way, Tobirama! I'm going to kill this guy right here today!"
"Father, please don't. A living Uchiha Tajima is more useful than a dead Uchiha Tajima!"
His father, Senju Butsuma, stared at Tobirama fiercely. The light in his eyes made Tobirama feel uneasy.
Just a moment ago, Tobirama used only one stone to deflect the sword Uchiha Tajima thrust at his vitals.
But you happened to use two stones to knock both of their weapons off course.
"Yes, Father, my brother is right."
Hashirama rushed over. In truth, he didn't want to see Madara's father die here.
Since the other party had been captured alive, that was the best outcome.
After hearing Hashirama, Senju Butsuma suppressed all the questions in his mind.
Then his head shook, and he felt a little dizzy.
"Father, stop the bleeding!"
Uchiha Tajima, held down by Tobirama, had his head pressed to the ground. When he saw the stone Tobirama used to deflect their swords, he fell silent.
There was writing on the stone.
It was the stone his eldest son, Uchiha Madara, used to remind Senju Hashirama to leave quickly by the river.
His head was a little dizzy, but he was also curious—why was Senju Tobirama willing to save him?
Moreover, these two stones were of great significance to Madara and Senju Hashirama.
After the battle, did this kid go back and find them?
Uchiha Tajima was successfully captured this way.
However, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, who had already retreated, didn't see it.
They only saw blood splattering from their father's body.
At that moment, their eyes were also filled with blood.
In this battle, the Senju clan finally won with the outburst of Hashirama Senju.
The head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tajima, was captured, and Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna led the remaining clan members to retreat.
After the fierce battle, the Senju and Uchiha clans' losses were not light.
When the clan leader Senju Butsuma was seriously injured, he had to stop for treatment from the iryō-nin (medical-nin).
The Senju clan halted to regroup.
The injured received medical treatment, and the dead were collected.
The bodies of the Uchiha shinobi were also gathered.
Shinobi could extract valuable information—and eyes—from enemy corpses.
After cleanup (to prevent plague), Hashirama Senju looked in the direction Madara retreated, expression complicated.
"Thank you, Tobirama."
After Tobirama stood beside him, Hashirama spoke softly.
He'd also seen the two stones.
Unexpectedly, Tobirama had kept them—and used them to save both fathers today.
"This is what I should do."
"But brother, you have to help me explain later."
Tobirama glanced back warily. His father's scrutinizing look had unsettled him.
"Don't worry."
A smile appeared on Hashirama's face.
It's great to have a brother like Tobirama.
With Uchiha Tajima alive, perhaps the Senju and Uchiha clans could finally talk.
If his father blamed Tobirama later, he'd claim it was his idea.
