The overwhelmingly shocking and brutal scene left the two Senju brothers nearly paralyzed with fear.
Jiraiya, who had been lurking on the outskirts for an opportune moment to strike, froze in place. His face darkened with frustration as he stared at Uchiha Madara's towering **Susanoo**, his mind racing. How are we supposed to fight this?
Meanwhile, Hashirama emerged from the shattered remains of his wooden golem, his expression heavy with frustration. This power was simply unfair. In the past, his wooden constructs could at least hold their own against Madara's **Susanoo**. But now? His golem had been torn apart as easily as if it were a chicken leg!
Hashirama turned to face the towering, godlike figure of Madara's **Susanoo**, bitterness welling up inside him.
Madara's **Susanoo** stood tall and mighty, casually tossing the two halves of the destroyed golem behind it. Looking down at the tiny figures below, Madara taunted:
"Hashirama, bring out all your tricks! If you don't, you'll never get another chance!"
Taking a deep breath, Hashirama steadied himself and formed hand seals. He called out to the distance:
"Tobirama!"
"Understood!"
Needing to buy time for Hashirama, Tobirama instantly teleported to his brother's side using the **Flying Thunder God Technique**. Gazing up at the colossal, demonic form of Madara's complete **Susanoo**, he couldn't help but gulp nervously.
But regardless of how daunting the situation seemed, they had no choice but to press on.
"**Shadow Clone Jutsu**!"
Ah, here it was—the most overused technique in the entire *Naruto* series, now employed by Tobirama.
With a series of explosive bursts of white smoke, over a dozen shadow clones of Tobirama appeared, showcasing his impressive chakra reserves.
Using a series of swift body flicker techniques, the clones scattered, surrounding Madara's **Susanoo** from all sides.
However, compared to the immense size of the **Susanoo**, Tobirama and his clones looked like mere ants swarming around a giant.
Madara sneered at Tobirama's efforts, his voice dripping with disdain:
"Tobirama, do you really think your water techniques can break through my **Susanoo**? Don't be ridiculous!"
All of Tobirama's shadow clones simultaneously formed hand seals.
"I'm well aware of my limits, Madara. Ordinary water techniques won't work against your **Susanoo**. That's why I'm using something else—**Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags**!"
As Tobirama spoke, countless explosive tags were summoned by his clones and began floating toward the surface of Madara's **Susanoo**. What was truly astonishing was that once the tags made contact, they began multiplying exponentially—one became two, two became four, four became eight, and so on, in an endless cycle.
In the blink of an eye, the lower legs of Madara's massive **Susanoo** were completely covered in a dense web of explosive tags. Anyone with trypophobia would have found the sight unbearable.
Madara remained unfazed as Tobirama shouted:
"Detonate!"
A deafening chain of explosions erupted, engulfing the legs of the **Susanoo** in a chaotic storm of destruction. The scene resembled something straight out of *Minecraft*, where a massive pile of TNT detonates—but with one key difference: the explosive tags didn't scatter. Instead, the devastating blasts concentrated solely on the legs of Madara's **Susanoo**.
Despite the ferocity of the explosions, they ultimately proved ineffective.
As the flames and smoke cleared, the towering, fully-formed **Susanoo** still stood firm.
Madara shook his head dismissively. "Hashirama, while this move certainly looks impressive, it didn't achieve much, did it?"
Was it truly useless? No one could say for sure. Tobirama, having exhausted too much chakra, dispelled his clones in a burst of white smoke, leaving only his original form standing before Madara's **Susanoo**.
Just as Madara was about to speak, Hashirama finally completed his preparations.
It hadn't been easy for Tobirama to stall for time. The roots of the plants underground had all died off, forcing Hashirama to draw upon deeper, more resilient roots to execute his technique.
With his hands still forming seals, Hashirama radiated a thick aura of natural energy, his body glowing with a vibrant green light. A broad smile spread across his face as he roared:
"**Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands**!"
The ground trembled violently as a colossal wooden Buddha statue rose from the earth. Its sheer size rivaled Madara's **Susanoo**, its surface shimmering with divine brilliance. Countless massive arms extended from its body, resembling a true god descending upon the battlefield.
Words could not describe the awe-inspiring sight.
Madara's **Susanoo** and Hashirama's thousand-armed Buddha faced each other, one glowing blue, the other green; one fierce, the other serene; one representing a demon, the other embodying a deity.
Which would prevail—madness or divinity?
No one knew.
Madara lowered his crossed arms, taking Hashirama's strongest technique seriously. However, he underestimated not just Hashirama—but also Tobirama.
Standing before Madara's **Susanoo**, Tobirama smirked and whispered under his breath:
"Explode."
BOOM! A sudden, violent explosion erupted beneath the feet of Madara's **Susanoo**. Caught off guard, the colossal figure lost its balance and toppled backward.
As Madara fell, realization dawned on him. So that was Tobirama's plan—while planting explosive tags on the legs of his **Susanoo**, he had secretly placed even more beneath its feet, waiting for the perfect moment to detonate them.
With a thunderous crash, the massive **Susanoo** collapsed onto the ground, shaking the earth violently.
Madara attempted to rise immediately, but Hashirama was prepared. Raising his hand to the sky, he called out:
"**Sage Art: Gate of the Heavenly Gods**!"
Madara's heart sank.
Red torii gates rained down from the sky, locking onto the fallen **Susanoo**. With a series of sharp clicks, the gates secured themselves around its wrists, ankles, arms, legs, and neck, immobilizing it completely.
