Previous Chapter:
The Senju had set up their camp between the Fire Country's border and the advancing Kaguya clan. Hashirama prepared for the battle alone in his tent. Piece by piece he put on his maroon armor. His heart felt heavy. He had no desire to fight, but the world required it of him, so he had to obey. Tobirama slipped into the tent, already fit into his blue armor. For brothers they looked quite different. It would be impossible to tell their relation judging by their appearance. Hashirama had dark tan skin with long black hair, while Tobirama was pale with spiked up white hair and red eyes.
Tobirama: Nii-san, the Kaguya clan's forces have been spotted. They're 100 meters from the camp, its time.
Hashirama: Alright, are the men ready?
Tobirama: Yes, they're all prepared and waiting for you.
Hashirama exited the tent with Tobimaru close behind. The pair made their way to the rest of the forces and stood facing them.
Hashirama: Our enemy is strong today. But do not fear, if you stay together and fight with the Will of Fire, nobody can defeat us! Do not hesitate, do not fear, do not hold back! Protect those dear to you, and they will protect you.
Tobimaru stood behind Hashirama and gave the signal. The battle was to begin!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The village was in chaos. Houses burned, blood was spilled, screams could be heard throughout the night.
Izuna: Madara, lets get this over with. The sooner we remove him the sooner you can lead.
Madara: Patience brother. For the clan to be strong, we must weed out the weak. There is no place in our future for weaklings.
Madara's mangekyo sharingan was activated as he made his way to towards the village's head quarters. Members of the Uchiha stood between him and leadership.
Madara: All of you who stand in my way, you stand in the way of our future! Igaku does not have the strength to lead us any more. I give you two options. Remain loyal to him, and join him as only a footnote in our great clan's history! Or, join me, and pave the way for out future!
The men stayed their ground. Shouts of anger erupted from them.
"How could you betray your clan Madara?!"
"We won't let you get away with this!"
"You won't lay a hand on Igaku!"
Madara: Then it is decided. None of you are fit for the future of this clan. Death is all that awaits you!
Madara closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A single tear of blood escaped the closed eyelid of his left eye. It burst open, focusing on the crowd of Uchiha before him.
Madara: WITNESS THE POWER I HAVE AWAKENED! AMATERASU!
Flames black as the night itself began to form throughout the crowd. They jumped from body to body, screams of pain shot out through the night. The Uchiha desperately attempted to dowse the flames, but they were inextinguishable. In only a moment, the entire crowd was gone. Ashes and black flames were all that remained. The entire pathway was filled with the black fire of Amaterasu. Madara refocused his eye and parted the flames, creating a walk way for him and Izuna to go through.
Madara: Come brother, lets go relieve Igaku of his duty.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The battlefield was covered in violence. Shinobi fought against each other tooth and nail. It seemed to be a stalemate between the two clans. Day slowly turned to night, the ninja tired from endless battle. Both clans had retreated to their camps for the day.
Hashirama sat in his tent when a messenger entered.
Messenger: Sir, the Kaguya leader has responded. He accepts your offer!
Hashirama: Good. Tell the men that they no longer need to prepare for tomorrow. From here on out, I will protect each and every one of them. No more Senju will die for greed.
The messenger bowed and left the tent to spread the news of the agreement. The battle during the day saw many casualties. Hashirama no longer wanted to see his clan members die on the battlefield for such a worthless cause. He decided that the only way to stop it was to risk his own life. A battle of leaders, Senju vs. Kaguya, Hashirama vs. the leader of the Kaguya.
The night went quick, and it was time for the battle. Hashirama stood on the battlefield, just 15 feet away from his opponent. The Senju stood to his back, the Kaguya to his opponent's. Spectators of the battle waited anxiously.
Hashirama: Kaguya Hiruko, this battle is to decide the fate of our skirmish. No matter the victor, no battle will ensue after it is over.
Hiruko: After you have met your death Hashirama, yes, it will be over.
A breeze swept in between the leaders, sweeping up dust as it went by. Hiruko was a small, frail looking man. He didn't appear to be a leader at first glance. But he was cold, emotionless, ruthless. There was a reason none of the Kaguya's opponents lived to tell of their secrets, and this man was no doubt the reason.
As soon as the dust settled it began. Hiruko burst forward with tremendous speed and a kunai in hand. Hashirama quickly countered pulling out a kunai of his own. The blades clashed and caused a spark as Hiruko jumped back. He lacked physical strength, so getting in a test of strength was not in his plans. As soon as he landed he preformed a series of hand signs.
Hiruko: Water style: River Torrent!
The Kaguya leader opened his mouth and released a river of water that rushed towards Hashirama. Quickly Hashirama preformed his own counter.
Hashirama: Earth Style: Rising Platform!
The earth below Hashirama shot up, lifting him above the river of water below him. More hand signs flew as the plateau shot up.
Hashirama: Water Style: Cascading Falls!
Water shot out of the Senju leader's mouth, a tremendous volume, and fell over the side of his newly raised platform. The waterfall cascaded down the face of the plateau, taking aim at the body of Hiruko.
Hiruko: Wind Style: Forceful Gale!
A strong burst of wind was released from Hiruko's mouth directly at the base of the plateau. The force shot Hiruko backwards, out of harms way, and simultaneously destroyed the base of the plateau causing it to crumble down. As he was pushed back Hiruko released two kunai with exploding tags attached to them.
Hashirama: Wood Style: Reaching Branches!
Branches whipped out of the side of the falling plateau and grabbed onto the two kunai, they snapped downward sending the kunai back at Hiruko. Hiruko jumped back in an attemt to dodge the two kunai, but failed to notice the roots coming out of the ground from below him. They wrapped around his arms and ankles, grasping him tightly. They quickly began to grow.
Hashirama: Wood Style: Rapid Growth!
The roots exploded into growth and began to form a large tree around Hiruko. The man struggled against it, but it was no use. The tree formed and finished growing, trapping Hiruko in place.
The plateau continued to crumble as Hashirama jumped off of it, safely landing on the ground in front of the newly grown tree.
Hashirama: Kaguya members, the battle is over! Your leader has been defeated. Now return home! This skirmish is settled.
Just as Hashirama finished speaking a spike erupted from the tree which was now behind him. He barely had time to react as he twisted his body. The spike ripped through the top layer of flesh on his right shoulder, making a deep, but manageable wound.
Quickly following that large spike, several smaller and thinner, blade like spikes sliced through the tree in a circular pattern. They spun violently, tearing the tree to shreds.
As the tree disintegrated a bone covered Hiruko was revealed. His entire body was covered in a layer of diamond hard bone, giving him the appearance of a statue.
Hiruko: This battle is far from over Hashirama. Witness the power of the Kaguya clan! Bone Style: Dance of the Rose!
