"Shizuko no Mori"

"The Perspective of Two Elders"

Two elders, realizing that every second is as precious as gold, ran at maximum speed. Matsuda Senju, still while running, began to form seals. Uchiha Itami, although he wanted to copy the technique, did not see the initial seals that Matsuda was forming quite quickly.

However, understanding that he at least had to grasp what the technique was doing, he asked:

- So, what is this technique that has the potential to be of rank S? - Matsuda, still forming seals, the number of which exceeded a hundred, replied without diminishing his concentration.

- This technique was created by me a few days ago to destroy the entire Uchiha clan. In potential, one explosive seal will infinitely divide until the user's chakra runs out.

The elder of the Uchiha felt chills running down his spine, as he knew that while the strongest members of the clan could survive all explosive seals using Susano and other techniques, he understood that lesser clan members or those below grandmasters had little chance of survival. But Matsuda Senju could not survive in this battle because the Uchiha clan would not withstand such an attack.

Matsuda Senju, on his part, understanding that Itami Uchiha would not allow him to survive, vowed not to let this information escape from this battle. But the two allies understood that killing at the very last moment would not work, so they chose the slowest way to die from chakra exhaustion.

As they were almost reaching their destination, five leopards made of various materials ran towards them: from fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning. Itami, reacting quickly, activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, which had nearly blinded him after endless battles. But despite the pain, he shouted:

- Susano!! - A green Susano appeared in this world. On his chest was the yin-yang symbol, from which, after a second, 20 senbons made of chakra flew out. Each of them hit their target, showcasing Itami's experience.

Matsuda, knowing that the other was almost blind, ran on faster, pleased, while Itami only frowned. Many groups of different beasts were rushing toward them, causing Itami's eyes to bleed. Matsuda, in turn, had already finished the seals and sped up to touch the wall. Itami, realizing that everything was almost over, disabled Susano but did not deactivate the Mangekyō. Matsuda, who had almost touched the wall, was pierced by five spikes, and although he managed to touch the wall and the activation of the technique began, it was meant to convert the chakra spreading across the wall into seals. Therefore, the more chakra spreads, the more seals will be created, so he shouted:

- Uchiha!!!

Itami, frowning, stabbed another beast that had emerged from the wall. Running up, he activated Susano again, and once again, the mighty armor covered both Uchiha and Senju, which helped shield them from the beasts but did not protect against those that were emerging from the wall. Therefore, he still had to expertly stab through fiery tigers and lightning snakes with his kunai. Suddenly, Senju said:

- I think you understand that neither I nor you will allow the other to survive. So I will help you, as I am not some selfish person and understand that the future of the clan depends on me. Therefore, I will give all the chakra from your side; you have to hold on until I finish.

Itami closed his eyes. He understood that few could boast of having lived so long and that he was satisfied with such an arrangement, so he quietly nodded.

Everything was fine until the first crack was heard. Itami's eyes nearly disappeared, and his entire face was covered in his blood. He did not know how much longer he would hold on, so he poured almost all his remaining chakra into his eyes, and Susano was repaired. From the once mighty figure of Senju, only a skeleton wrapped in skin remained. Anyone who saw them would say that they were dead, but they were giving all their last strength to this final mission.

Behind Senju's Susano was a stunning scene: thousands of beasts were trying to strangle, tear apart, and break him. Uchiha raised his eyes to Senju, but he did not see chakra; he saw how seals began to ignite one after another. He wanted to curse this world, but a crack was heard.

He knew what that meant. He did not need to turn around to look; he knew it. He still turned around, but despite his experience, strength, and respect for him, he could not see the sun one more time. He went blind, but this did not deprive him of his hearing, so after he spread his arms wide as he could, he smiled into the eyes of death, and to an onlooker, it looked as if he wanted to embrace all the beasts that wanted to reach him as quickly as possible. A great explosion was chasing him from behind, which had almost reached his back, and the beasts had nearly grabbed his chest.

"The Perspective of Madara"

Not wanting to fall behind his best friend, he ran toward him, but he could not run for long. He stopped in place, unable to resist the force that was pulling him back. He, with his Mangekyō, who firmly remembered the scene before him of Senju struggling against the force.

Gathering his strength, he managed to take a step, then another, and when he was almost at his friend's side, he suddenly noticed how two giants—Butsuma and Tajima—were flanking him, one on a stone golem and the other in Susano.

Suddenly, the voice of the snake sounded.

- You know, I can support you in any situation, but I do not want to fight against "his" grandchildren, and I, you, and every sage know that only thanks to him we can still live. - After a pause, he said - and I am no longer needed here.

The frog, seemingly sensing something, said:

- So you are leaving me, despite the fact that we grew up together here, and that we met "him" here, and that we heard his last words here, you do not want to take revenge? - The frog turned to the great snake.

- I know, but you think about it yourself; he taught us otherwise, and as I said, I have done everything I could, and I do not want to fight anymore. - With these words, he disappeared.

The frog stared at the smoke for a second, but the next second, she frowned, as he was almost trapped in a cage. Contemplating the situation, he spread his arms wide and clapped hard, and the giant, as well as Susano, flew like a circle towards the blue Susano and the wooden giant, and stopped at a distance of fifty meters from each other.

When an explosion that shook everyone occurred, and everyone looked in his direction, they saw the back and half of the side walls disappear. Everyone rushed towards freedom without thinking about their actions. The sage only formed a triangle with his fingers, and in it, a sphere began to appear. In a second, the sphere flew out and was already chasing the ninja, showcasing incredible speed.

The sage simply said:

- Chibaku Tensei.

But suddenly, the frog found herself in darkness. She did not know where she was, but she had a familiar feeling.

No one noticed how the frog did not move, as the sphere had already caught up with them and began to pull them in.
