Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 505 Your prophecy is nothing more than the prophecy I want you to see.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time, and a bitter stick was planted directly into the ground. Tobirama Senju walked out of the void, holding the sealed Rinnegan in his hand.

"Second Grandfather..." Tsunade froze, instinctively calling out the name, then her expression instantly turned furious. "Who on earth is toying with the souls of the dead?"

Her first thought was Orochimaru, but Tobirama Senju waved his hand and said, "Tsunade, calm down. You're not being controlled. Now is not the time to explain. The situation is urgent."

Tobirama interrupted her, walked up to her, and handed her the Rinnegan, saying, "I urgently need you to transplant these eyes to completely revive your great-grandfather."

At that moment, Naruto walked over and shouted, "How did Obito's father's things end up in your hands? What did you do to him?"

Meanwhile, in the land of tea.

After discovering the true location of Aburame Shisei's seclusion, the two Uchiha brothers rushed over here.

However, before they could even get close to the Water Fairy Palace, Madara Uchiha and his companion stopped in their tracks.

On the mountain road ahead, a figure was already waiting for Hashirama Senju.

"Madara, come back with me." Hashirama's voice was calm, but his eyes held an unprecedented weariness.

He had been harassing them all along, but in a two-on-one situation, he couldn't gain any advantage at all, and his body was even broken by the two brothers several times.

Although he is immortal and indestructible under the Impure World Reincarnation, he is still bound to get tired.

"No." Madara Uchiha shook his head and said, "Hashirama, you don't understand anything. We have nothing more to say to each other."

Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, unleashing "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"

Countless giant trees surged from the ground, overwhelming and rushing towards Ban.

Madara Uchiha sneered, then clasped his hands together, chanting, "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"

The same number of giant trees surged from the ground, colliding with the trees between the pillars, creating a deafening roar.

Two forests strangled, tore apart, and collapsed in mid-air.

"Madara...when did you learn Wood Release?" Hashirama's voice was filled with surprise.

"A long time ago, I transplanted your body." Madara Uchiha tore open the clothes on the Edo Tensei, revealing a human face, which was none other than Hashirama Senju with his eyes closed.

"Hashirama, I can do everything you can, and I can do things you can't. You're no match for me now. Stop following me!"

After saying that, the two brothers disappeared from the spot at the same time, but before leaving, Uchiha Izuna's face was very ugly.

He turned around and glared fiercely at Senju, asking, "Why isn't the head on my brother's chest mine?"

However, how could Hashirama Senju give up so easily?

After recovering, he quickly caught up with them again, like a piece of chewing gum.

"My dear friend, I think we should have a serious talk. Could you tell me about your experiences over the years, your reasons, and what you've seen and heard?"

"Will you listen?" Madara Uchiha turned his head and sneered.

But Hashirama Senju scratched his head and said, "If your reasons are valid, I think I can be convinced by you."

"Is that so?" Madara Uchiha turned around, pushed his younger brother aside, and then said seriously, "But in the past ten years or so, whenever we had a disagreement, wasn't it always me who gave in to you? And when did you ever truly listen to my advice?"

"Ban, your suggestions are always too harsh. If only you could be a little gentler."

The next second, a blinding red light burst forth in the sky.

The two forces collided and shattered once more, this time near the coast where there were few people.

Neither of their destined best friends held back.

Wood Release: Thousand-Armed Buddha VS Complete Susanoo.

The earth trembled, the mountains collapsed, and the sea flowed backward.

An atmosphere of destruction permeated the air.

They exchanged hundreds of blows.

Finally, the wooden dummy collapsed with a crash. Hashirama rose from the ruins, his impure body now covered in cracks.

"You're still so strong, Madara."

"You've become weaker."

The reanimated version of Hashirama Senju is no match for the reanimated Madara Uchiha; one is the normal version, and the other is the enhanced version.

The Edo Tensei Madara Uchiha's body was adjusted to its peak condition, allowing him to exert almost 70% of his original strength, while the Edo Tensei Hashirama Senju only had 60%.

Madara retracted his Susanoo and looked down at Hashirama. "Hashirama, your policy of distributing the Tailed Beasts was a complete mistake. The Five Great Nations were willing to play peace games with you while you were alive because you were powerful."

"What you don't know is that after your death, the war became even more brutal. Don't be naive anymore. Complete unification is now the only way to achieve relative peace."

That's right—relatively peaceful.

There is no perfect peace, because the possibility of achieving Infinite Tsukuyomi has been destroyed, and Madara Uchiha can only settle for second best.

"Now, I'm going to meet that oil-woman Zhicheng who's been hiding all this time, and see what he's got to offer."

Hashirama Senju rose from the ruins. "I won't let you go."

"Then trap me here! Five Elements Sealing Technique!" Madara Uchiha tore out a huge strip of cloth, like a giant bed sheet, and broke Hashirama Senju's limbs again, trapping his body firmly inside, and then affixing a seal to it.

"Izuna, keep an eye on him and don't let him bother me again."

Uchiha Izuna looked at Senju Hashirama's sour face and grinned mischievously. "Yes, brother, I promise to complete the mission and won't let him bother you in the slightest."

Madara Uchiha glanced back at Hashirama Senju, who was sealed and asleep. Sensing that there was no problem, he quickly headed to the entrance of the Water Fairy Palace.

Meanwhile, Yukimaru, who was guarding outside the Water Fairy Palace, had already sensed the chaos in the distance.

Inside the Narcissus Palace, Aburame Shisei remained in seclusion. Outside, Yukimaru had already received battle reports from all directions, but he did not go in to disturb him.

At the same time, this was also a decision made collectively within the organization: they would handle the trouble they caused, and the master only needed to focus on his cultivation.

However, what he didn't know was that a quarter of an hour earlier, Yu Nu Zhicheng had already mastered the Narcissus Technique and had left through a special method, no longer in the Narcissus Palace.

Let's go back to the day before, before the Toad Boss had his prophetic dream.

When the dream invaded the Dragon Vein River, a thirteen-segmented worm with its head and tail connected instantly captured that wisp of thought that wanted to peek into the future of the world.

The Time Insect subtly rippled across the screen, severing all detours and anchoring itself to Mount Myōboku along that thread of thought.

The prophecy was correct, and the Time Worm could not falsify it.

The future that the old toad could see was only the part of the future that the Lord could accept.

Jiraiya's resurrection also became part of his destiny.

As the saying goes, those who believe in fate will ultimately be bound by destiny.

At this point, the time loop is complete, and the art is finished!
