"Good job, Mito. That's how you should deal with that big idiot."
"But when you two are doing your thing, can you leave a little space for me?"
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not some perverted fox. I just want to see what it's like when you push Hashirama around."
The Nine-Tails, who had been silently watching from within Mito, couldn't help but speak up.
With the amount of hatred it had for Hashirama, no matter what kind of suffering Hashirama faced, the Nine-Tails would cheer it on.
So, it fully supported Mito's decision.
"Stinky fox, shut up."
Mito, clearly annoyed, sank into her thoughts and walked straight up to the Nine-Tails, cursing at it.
"My husband and I are flirting with each other. What does it have to do with you, you stinky fox?"
"Want me to leave you a gap to watch?"
"Ugh~"
"What's the deal? Now that you've learned the moves, do you want to go find a female fox?"
"."
Mito's "fighting spirit" was strong. With a barrage of sharp words, she left the Nine-Tails completely stunned.
"Alright, alright, I got it. I shouldn't have brought it up."
The Nine-Tails surrendered and stopped talking, retreating back into its seal.
[Not long after, Madara caught up with the Nine-Tails, who was living quite comfortably, and returned to the village to find Hashirama.]
[After meeting, both had their own plans in mind.]
[Madara wanted to take a piece of his ex-husband's flesh, while Hashirama wanted to give a kunai to his ex-wife.]
[Madara then used his Susanoo to trap the Nine-Tails, which was the only way to balance out the size and match Hashirama's Sage Mode Wood Release technique to make the Thousand Hands Buddha figure.]
[The essence of Hashirama's actions goes without saying. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle, their moves shaking the air as if the very sky was being torn apart.]
[For a moment, the land was shattered, and countless small creatures lost their homes.]
[The Nine-Tails' powerful Susanoo had a purpose as well, to prevent the Nine-Tails from being controlled by the Wood Style.]
[But unfortunately, the Susanoo's hands weren't as numerous as the wooden Buddha's, and once the outer shell was broken, the fox under Madara's control was seized.]
[As this intense battle drew to a close after days and nights, Madara had his heart ripped out by Hashirama.]
[However, Madara wasn't completely at a disadvantage, as he bit off a piece of Hashirama's flesh in retaliation, and then quickly entered his coffin. The Nine-Tails was treated as a dowry and given to Mito Uzumaki.]
[When the village learned of Madara's death, there was a celebration, and everyone cheered for the first Hokage's victory over the Asura of the Shinobi world.]
[In the place where these two ninjas fought, a memorial statue was built by future generations.]
[It was named the Valley of the End, to serve as a reminder to cherish and protect all life.]
"It's impossible. My older brother couldn't have lost like that."
Time of the Third Hokage.
After hearing from Obito about the complicated relationship between Sasuke and Itachi, Izuna had no time to respond before he saw the image on the light screen—Hashirama killing Uchiha Madara.
This infuriated Izuna.
"Your First Hokage must have used some despicable means. My brother and I fought against the Senju brothers for so many years. Their power has always been on par with ours. If he could have killed my brother, he would've done it long ago, not waited until after the village was founded!"
The others understood Izuna's anger.
They knew that in his eyes, Madara was the strongest.
During the Warring States period, the war between the Uchiha and the Senju was always a stalemate—neither side could truly defeat the other.
At least, that was how it had been before Izuna's death.
He couldn't understand it at all.
The two of them were originally evenly matched.
His older brother had even advanced his Mangekyō Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyō level.
Logically, his strength should've increased significantly, so why was he knocked out by Hashirama Senju in the final battle of the Warring States period?
Now, things are even worse. Madara, who controlled the Nine-Tails, had his strength rise even further, yet he was still killed by Hashirama.
This is complete nonsense.
The increase in his older brother's strength was something that could be traced.
But Hashirama Senju? His strength increase makes no sense at all.
Every time you think you've gotten stronger and that you've surpassed the other person...
You fight them and realize that not only did you not surpass them, but you've actually fallen behind.
Every time you fight, they come up with some new trick. What's the point of this?
It's like when Izuna from the Third Hokage's time got mad.
Izuna from Tobirama's time was also very angry.
But he was a bit better than the one from the Third Hokage's time.
Because, right now, his older brother was sitting right next to him.
"It's such a joke. If it wasn't for wanting to take a piece of Hashirama's flesh, would I have let him stab me in the heart?"
Madara wasn't happy, looking at the screen showing his defeat.
With his strong-willed personality, he wasn't satisfied losing to Hashirama.
As he said, if it wasn't to evolve into the Rinnegan, he wouldn't have given Hashirama the chance to stab him in the heart.
Yep, absolutely not.
"According to the process, my older brother won that fight, but in terms of the result, my older brother actually lost."
Madara looked at Tobirama in surprise and said, "I didn't expect to hear that from you."
"It's the truth."
Tobirama shrugged and continued, "After that big battle, big brother didn't last long. There's a rumor that says it's because Madara, you never brushed your teeth. After biting off a piece of big brother's flesh, the virus on your teeth infected him, and that's why someone with such incredible healing ability like big brother died young."
"Bullshit. There's no virus on my teeth. What are you even trying to say?"
"Oh, nothing much. I was just asking if you really don't brush your teeth."
"So what if I don't? What if I do?"
"If you don't, I can get you a set of dentures. Before you sleep, just soak them in a special solution."
"Heh, no need."
Madara sneered and seriously looked at Tobirama, saying, "You can keep the dentures for yourself. After all, soon enough, I'll beat all your teeth out."
Tobirama, still calm, nodded and then turned to Hashirama, saying, "Big brother, Madara's going to beat me. You should say something!"
"This is something you two agreed on. What can I say?"
Even though he said that, Hashirama still looked at Madara and said, "Go easy on him, alright?"
"Don't worry, Hashirama. I won't kill him."
"That's good."
Tobirama: "."
So as long as I'm not dead, it's fine?
You really are a great big brother.
￣へ￣
[Luckily, Madara wasn't cremated by Hashirama. Using the Sharingan as the price, he rewrote the reality of being killed, replacing his dead body with a clone.
[He found a quiet place, following the instructions on the stone tablet, and sewed Hashirama's flesh onto his body. He waited quietly for the Rinnegan to awaken.]
[This was also Madara's plan to challenge Hashirama with the Nine-Tails.]
[The Madara in his romantic phase was dead, chosen by Hashirama.]
[The future belongs to the business-minded Madara Uchiha.]
