Madara Uchiha repeatedly familiarized himself with the use of the Rinnegan during this battle. He only needed to think about how to attack. All of Urashiki's attacks were blocked by Hashirama's Wood Release.
When Pu Shi was enraged and realized he couldn't escape, he gouged out his own eyes and ate them!
Transformed into a form neither bird nor human, he was once again cursed by Madara Uchiha: "Ugly thing."
In this state, Urashiki's attacks were greatly enhanced, and he shattered Hashirama's Wood Release multiple times.
But Hashirama's Wood Release seems to be endless!
Urashiki has just destroyed one, and countless more Wood Release techniques are waiting for him!
The Wood Release: Flower World Tree descended, covering the entire ground, preventing him from using the terrain to dodge on the ground and forcing him to fly in the air and become Madara's target.
Suddenly, without warning!
As Urashiki Otsutsuki watched Hashirama Senju manipulating Wood Release to protect Madara Uchiha, he seemed to see the same divine tree that constantly tempted his clan and guided them to gain greater power!
Urashiki Otsutsuki, whose eyes were gouged out by Madara Uchiha, looked towards Hashirama Senju with difficulty before being blasted to ashes by the power of Susanoo.
"What exactly are you?"
The battle lasted for about three hours. When Madara's pupils returned to black, he subconsciously said, "I should go back and feed the child chakra."
They both froze halfway through their sentence.
They've developed this habit over a month of working day and night, and they need to be fed chakra every four hours. They've gotten used to this rhythm.
"Let's go back." Hashirama said in a low voice, comforting Madara, and also comforting himself.
Even though the loss will be painful, they need to look forward. They need to rush back to continue fulfilling their duties as the leaders of the Uchiha and Senju clans.
Give me the medicine.
Hashirama knew that Madara wanted Ivankov's male hormones from her.
Previously, because Orochimaru said it would be better to conceive a child in a woman's body, the two of them had endured not returning to their original forms.
However, such forbearance, which they thought was worthwhile, became their greatest regret at the last moment.
Madara even said, almost to himself, "If only we hadn't gone to watch the Chunin Exams back then."
That way they wouldn't know what happened during the Chunin Exams, and they wouldn't have faced off against Urashiki Otsutsuki, so she wouldn't have died.
Hashirama took out a scroll and retrieved a bottle of "male hormones" from the seal, which was contained in a rum bottle.
They also had their original clothes and armor from when they were men.
He changed back into his old clothes, tidied up the somewhat neutral yukata he was wearing, and put it back into the sealing scroll.
The hormones in the bottle seemed to treat it like a bitter wine, and Hashirama was the first to tilt his head back and drink half of it.
The intense heat and pain then spread throughout my body, as if my bones and muscles had been brutally shattered and reassembled.
Within seconds, Hashirama Senju returned to his original form.
Madara Uchiha drank the other half of the bottle and, after experiencing the same pain, returned to his original state.
The two returned to Orochimaru's base.
Orochimaru acted as if nothing had happened, smiling as he congratulated Madara Uchiha on awakening the Rinnegan.
Upon hearing Orochimaru's flattering words, Madara's anger flared up instantly. Rationally, he knew he shouldn't blame Orochimaru, as Orochimaru might not even be able to defeat the Otsutsuki.
but--
She's dead. Did Orochimaru, who created her, have no feelings at all?
When Madara asked this question, Hashirama knew that Madara might not like what Orochimaru was about to say.
But Hashirama never expected Orochimaru to be so ruthless.
"It was just an experimental subject; if it's gone, we can just create another one."
"Orochimaru!!" Hashirama was furious, and he also didn't want anyone to provoke Madara at this critical juncture.
Before Madara could truly unleash his fury, Orochimaru dropped his nonchalant expression. "It's almost been more than eight hours, you'd better hurry."
what?
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were both taken aback.
Orochimaru turned around and led them to a new room. "You guys are really lucky. Just as that girl came over, I took her to try out the portable insulated pod."
The child was originally placed in a huge, sealed solution connected to the entire house.
In order to allow Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju to take him away, Orochimaru made a miniature insulated container.
Orochimaru had told them about this a few days ago, but they never expected it to save her life so coincidentally.
Madara Uchiha still couldn't believe it, thinking Orochimaru was lying to them.
"What about the one who was taken away by Urashiki Otsutsuki before?"
Hashirama pressed further, "You said back then that there was no hope."
"—" Orochimaru paused for a moment, "That's her clone."
"A clone?"
"Because this was the first time I used Hashirama cells to create a newborn, I only made a clone of her from the beginning to avoid any unexpected diseases."
"So what exactly is a clone?"
"It has no consciousness; it's just an empty shell."
The concept of clones is actually more complex, but Orochimaru used a more acceptable explanation of two people.
Just as he had prepared spare internal organs for Mitsuki, Orochimaru simply made the whole set because he couldn't be sure where the child created with Hashirama's cells and Madara's cells would go wrong.
The complete clones were indistinguishable from humans, but without the chakra of Hashirama and Madara, they did not develop sentience.
It only possesses the basic reactions of living organisms.
Madara re-feeds chakra to the child in the incubator, even though a person's gender does not change their chakra.
But children are naturally sensitive. When he first received chakra nurturing, he was startled. After getting used to it and confirming that it was Madara, he happily interacted with him.
Orochimaru: "If you're in such a hurry, you can go back to your world now."
I've already waited a month, what's a minute or two more?
Madara: "What about the child who was killed by Urashiki Ōtsutsuki?"
"Come with me."
Orochimaru led the two to the outside of the base, where an orange-haired man with countless small birds perched on his body nodded to them.
"Shigego made her a grave."
The orange-haired man led them for a while longer, to a place with excellent feng shui, where there were many small mounds with simple information written on wooden boards.
Hashirama: "These are all—?"
"Most of them are small animals," Jugo said. "They were all creatures forced to sacrifice themselves for humans."
Hashirama was astonished. Could there really be a man in the ninja world so kind as to make tombstones for dead animals?!
Ban didn't speak, but instead put his hands together and bowed to pay respects to all the graves there.
Hashira followed closely behind.
The two remained silent for a long time as they left.
These lives are also part of the ninja world. Although they are numerous and diverse, they cannot express their will clearly with language like humans. Therefore, even if they are harmed, no one will seek justice for them. "Let's go. Tobirama and Izuna must be getting impatient."
"Um."
Despite his eccentric personality, Madara Uchiha thanked Orochimaru and even shook hands with him separately from Hashirama to say goodbye.
"If you really want to thank me, how about leaving some of your 'seeds'?"
Ban laughed and said, "Let's forget about that."
Hashirama also refused, as they didn't want to leave behind children who couldn't be protected by them, wandering aimlessly in other timelines. However, he left Orochimaru some of his own tree seeds as a token of his gratitude.
Then the two returned to the other side of the door.
A month has passed since the room where one cannot leave without doing something, and few people remain in front of the mirror to look at themselves anymore.
Even in the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War, most of the Konoha ninjas had returned, leaving only the new generation of ninjas who were frequently discussed in the comments. Fearing something might happen, the Hokage temporarily arranged for them to stay here.
Hashirama, Madara, and the others built houses here with wood and lived a life that was no longer that of ninjas. They fished, farmed, spent time with their younger brothers, and taught them the Great Fire Annihilation Technique and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
