"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
With a thunderous clap of his hands, Senju Hashirama summoned the mighty wooden dragon. It roared to life, its colossal body lunging forward and clamping its wooden jaws down on Madara Uchiha's skeletal Susanoo arm. The dragon's body coiled around the construct, constricting it tightly.
Hashirama snorted coldly. "Don't underestimate us, Madara. Hiruzen Sarutobi is a shinobi that both Tobirama and I watched grow up. He's a fine ninja."
The Third Hokage, standing behind them, felt a surge of emotion upon hearing his revered master's praise.
"Lord First..."
His voice trembled with feeling. In truth, even the most independent ninja longs for someone to rely on. It's a rare comfort — to have someone who supports you in the battlefield and beyond.
Hiruzen had taken up the mantle of Hokage at a young age. He had governed the village with strength and dedication, leading Konoha through turbulent times. He nurtured the next generation, eventually appointing Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage. But the tragic events of the Nine-Tails' attack ended Minato's reign prematurely.
That loss weighed heavily on Hiruzen's heart. Minato had been his disciple — someone he trusted, someone he had personally endorsed for the Hokage title. And when Minato died sealing the Nine-Tails, the burden fell back on Hiruzen's shoulders. In truth, he never wanted to reclaim the seat, but with Danzō Shimura lurking in the shadows, ready to exploit chaos, Hiruzen had no choice.
He knew he wasn't the perfect Hokage. He made compromises. Sometimes, he faltered. But in the absence of others, he had to carry the weight alone.
Now, standing behind Hashirama and Tobirama, he felt something he hadn't felt in decades: support. He felt the unshakable confidence of having true power standing before him — power that could hold up the sky when it threatened to fall.
Despite being constricted, Madara showed no concern. With a roar, he activated a half-bodied Susanoo, causing it to grow rapidly. The wooden dragon was forced to retreat as Madara expanded, breaking free of its hold. Hashirama leapt atop the dragon's head, balancing with ease.
Tobirama flashed beside him. "Brother, Hiruzen — we'll coordinate. You contain Madara. Hiruzen, strike from the flanks. I'll prepare the sealing jutsu."
Madara scoffed. "Tobirama... Still arrogant as ever. You think you can seal me again?"
Tobirama smirked. "Not alone. But I've never fought alone, Madara. That's where you've always been wrong."
A Shadow Clone of Tobirama suddenly appeared beside him — and behind it, the Five Kage arrived.
Tsunade stepped forward first. "Second Granduncle, we're here!"
The Shadow Clone dispersed with a poof, and Tobirama immediately marked the five Kage with his Flying Thunder God Technique.
It turned out Tobirama had dispatched a Shadow Clone specifically to summon them.
"Fight boldly. If anything goes wrong, I'll teleport you out," Tobirama said confidently.
Ōnoki chuckled. "That's more like it. It's about time I showed these old bones still remember the fires of youth."
Terumi Mei raised a brow and smirked. "Tsuchikage-sama, how about letting us younger folks lead for once?"
Ōnoki scoffed and turned to Gaara. "That won't do. The Fifth Kazekage once teased me about going soft. I need to remind everyone that this old man can still crush mountains."
He stared down Madara, determination in his eyes.
"A true shinobi can die — but never retreat!"
A chuckled. "Spoken like a real Kage. I've been itching to get into this war. Time to finally leave my mark!"
Activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, A's body surged with blue electricity.
Gaara nodded in solidarity. "Lord Second, just say the word. We'll follow your command."
Hashirama turned to Tobirama, frowning. "Tobirama, didn't Naruto say not to involve them?"
Tobirama waved him off. "Relax, Brother. Naruto said not to interfere with his battle against Obito. He never said anything about Madara."
Gaara agreed. "Madara is a different matter. His Rinnegan can absorb jutsu, but coordinated physical attacks and diverse elemental combinations still work!"
Tsunade cracked her knuckles. "Which means... my Chakra-Enhanced Strength is perfect for this."
Madara grunted, "You think you can beat me with a crowd?"
Tobirama grinned. "Why fight one-on-one when we can beat the hell out of you together?"
Madara growled, "I always disliked you, Tobirama. Too cunning, unlike your idiot brother who actually saw me as a friend."
Tobirama's eyes narrowed. "My brother was a fool to trust you. You stabbed him in the back. But I'm not him. I never trusted the Uchiha — betrayal runs in your blood."
Madara's fury erupted. "Don't speak such insolence to me!"
With a thunderous boom, Madara upgraded his Susanoo to Perfect Susanoo — towering, armored, and terrifying. The sword in its hand cleaved downward with blinding force.
"Brother!" Tobirama shouted.
Hashirama clapped his hands together. "Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
A massive Wood Golem erupted from the ground, catching the blow with both hands.
Hiruzen exhaled deeply. "That... was too close."
Tsunade roared, "Five Kage, move out!"
Ōnoki floated over to Gaara's gourd and touched it.
"Earth Style: Super Light-Weight Boulder Jutsu!"
The sand lightened instantly, Gaara's control sharpening.
"Let's go!" Ōnoki ordered.
Gaara's sand exploded forward, wrapping tightly around Madara's Susanoo's legs, locking him in place.
Terumi Mei formed hand signs, unleashing Lava Style: Melting Apparition Technique, spewing corrosive lava onto the armored titan. Smoke and acidic steam billowed.
Ōnoki touched Raikage's back, "Super Light-Weight Boulder Jutsu!"
Raikage shot forward at blistering speed, roaring, "Liger Bomb— no—Lateral Bolt of Pain!!"
His chakra surged as he struck the previously corroded chest of Madara's Susanoo with full force.
Ōnoki followed from behind and layered another jutsu.
"Earth Style: Ultra-Heavy Boulder Jutsu!"
Raikage's blow was supercharged with tremendous weight, smashing through the Susanoo's armor.
Madara grunted, his chestplate cracked. He retaliated swiftly, reaching to grab Raikage and Ōnoki with one hand.
But in a flash, Tobirama's Flying Thunder God whisked them to safety.
Raikage laughed. "Now that's what I call backup!"
Turning to Tobirama, he added, "Your teleportation jutsu... reminds me of Minato."
Tobirama muttered, "He copied it from me."
Ōnoki smirked. "Let's go again, Denki-boy!"
Raikage grinned, "Alright, old man — hold on tight!"
While they recovered, Tsunade launched herself forward.
"Don't be reckless, Tsunade!" Hashirama warned.
But Tsunade didn't slow. She roared and smashed her fist into Madara's Susanoo sword — shattering it into pieces.
"Relax, Grandpa. I've got plenty of chakra left — I won't die that easily!"
As she landed, grinning triumphantly, Madara's eyes glinted with rage.
The Perfect Susanoo responded, forming two new swords — one in each hand — and brought them down in a crushing X-strike toward Tsunade.
