This strange and delicate balance had not been broken by either side, largely because the pressure Uchiha Madara exerted on them was simply too immense. Even though the two former Hokage had already gone to confront him, it couldn't dispel the worry in their hearts.
Meaning, until it was confirmed that Uchiha Madara was thoroughly defeated, neither side would, nor could, make a move against the other!
However... could the First Hokage and Second Hokage truly defeat Uchiha Madara?
Initially, they were full of confidence. After all, the First Hokage was the God of Shinobi.
But later, hearing the immense commotion coming from the distant battlefield, both sides couldn't help feeling somewhat apprehensive.
Then, faintly seeing two giant figures engaged in fierce combat on the distant battlefield, both sides became genuinely worried.
Until finally, under the shocked and horrified gazes of both factions in Konoha, a massive meteor plummeted onto that battlefield. Even the intense sounds of explosions and destruction from over there reached here! Their worry finally reached its peak!
Even meteors from the sky could be brought down to attack!? Such immense scale! Such terrifying attack methods! This was clearly not the First Hokage's technique!
Meaning, this technique... was unleashed by Uchiha Madara!
So, could the two former Hokage truly deal with Uchiha Madara!?
Extreme apprehension and worry arose in their hearts, causing the atmosphere between the two Konoha factions to become even more strange and delicate.
A gust of wind blew sand between the two sides, making the atmosphere even heavier.
In this almost suffocating atmosphere, a figure streaked across the sky from that direction at high speed, descending from the heavens, landing right between the two Konoha factions, standing precisely amidst the wind-blown sand.
Has the battle ended!? Who returned!? Who was victorious!?
Danzo's ANBU faction, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's ninja forces over there—both sides became anxious simultaneously, eyes wide, staring intently!
The sand dispersed, revealing the wild and untamable figure of Uchiha Madara!
Everyone from Konoha turned pale with fright!
This was terrible! If Uchiha Madara was the victor, then Konoha was in peril!
Both Danzo's ANBU forces and the Hokage's (Hiruzen's) forces were filled with shock and uncertainty. The assembled ninja erupted in panicked clamor.
On Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, Hatake Sakumo frowned, looking at the panicked remnants of their defeated forces behind him, and roared sternly:
"Quiet! Uchiha Madara appearing doesn't mean the two Lord Hokage were defeated! Everyone calm down!"
However, Hatake Sakumo's words were instantly refuted by Jiraiya. The fool's face was deathly pale as he tremblingly pointed a finger at the two heads Madara held in his hands.
"No! Sakumo! Look at what Uchiha Madara is holding..."
The Konoha ninja also directed their gazes towards the two heads held in Uchiha Madara's hands. One had long black hair, the other short white hair. No guessing was needed—those were the heads of the two former Hokage!
Witnessing this extremely cruel scene firsthand, several heavily injured ninja couldn't mentally cope and directly fainted. The other Konoha ninja were also panicked to the extreme, waves of horrified and despairing cries continuously rising:
"It's over! The two Lord Hokage were defeated and killed!"
"Even Lord First and Lord Second weren't Uchiha Madara's match..."
"Then we're even less likely to be Uchiha Madara's match!"
"In that case, what hope do we have left..."
"Is Konoha going to be destroyed?"
Such despairing sighs rose one after another. The entire Konoha ninja force's morale had already collapsed, no longer resembling an army.
The Senju brothers, held by Uchiha Madara, heard this. Bitterness filled their hearts. Unlike Senju Hashirama, who seemed to accept it, Senju Tobirama was exceptionally unwilling to concede. By rubbing his scalp and twisting his facial muscles, he forcefully turned his face towards the Konoha ninja and roared sternly at them:
"Konoha shinobi! What are you lamenting! Big brother and I aren't dead yet! Just because of our failure, you've lost confidence and fighting spirit! If even you lose confidence, then what will become of Konoha!?"
Senju Tobirama's stern roar caught the attention of the Konoha ninja.
So the two Lord Hokage, although only heads remain, aren't actually dead!
But what use was that? Only heads remained!
Seeing morale didn't improve, Senju Tobirama became furious, opening his mouth, about to deliver a scolding and motivational speech.
However, Uchiha Madara was unwilling to let the defeated dog continue barking wildly. He bent down, grabbed a handful of dirt, and stuffed it directly into Senju Tobirama's mouth. While Tobirama was coughing incessantly, Madara picked up a rock and directly gagged Senju Tobirama's mouth!
Senju Tobirama instantly felt greatly humiliated, but with his mouth blocked, he was powerless, only able to continuously humph angrily, to no avail.
Alright, now the Konoha ninja's morale plunged even lower.
Look! The two Lord Hokage were captured and treated so cruelly by Uchiha Madara. Wouldn't being killed have been better?
Even the strongest two Hokage met such an end. What should we do?
Not only were the ordinary ninja despairing, but even figures like Sarutobi Hiruzen saw no hope.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo were being supported by others, powerless. Orochimaru's snake-like pupils were murky and unreadable. Jiraiya, however unwilling, could do nothing. Tsunade watched helplessly as her grandfather was captured.
And on Danzo's side, the situation wasn't good either.
The cold, emotionless ANBU machine-like ninja showed no reaction, but Danzo himself was nearly crying internally.
He had used Edo Tensei to summon the two Hokage, who should have defeated Uchiha Madara! But now, the ones defeated were the two Hokage!
With this, Danzo's ambition of becoming Hokage and controlling Konoha was almost completely shattered.
Seeing the low spirits and dejection on both sides, a grim smile appeared on Uchiha Madara's face.
Looks like the miserable defeat of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama dealt them a huge blow!
Well then, should I take this opportunity to destroy Konoha?
Just kidding. Destroying Konoha now? Not much benefit, plenty of harm!
