Chapter 55 Because He is my friend!

At this thrilling, life-and-death moment, the chakra in Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama's bodies was almost exhausted, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

But they still held the swords tightly in their hands, their eyes were firm and fearless, as if they were gathering all their remaining strength here, preparing to deliver the final blow.

However, just as the two sides were about to engage in the final showdown, Hashirama Senju suddenly secretly performed a Wood Release: Clone Technique!

The real Senju Hashirama dived silently underwater like a ghost, attempting to launch a fatal blow from behind when Uchiha Madara was completely unprepared!

Then, the two of them launched the final charge at the same time as if they had telepathy!

In an instant, the flashes of swords and sabers intertwined and flashed, the entire space was filled with sharp sword energy, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing to the extreme!

After a thrilling and fierce fight, Uchiha Madara finally successfully identified and defeated the seemingly powerful Wood Release clone in front of him with his extraordinary strength and combat experience.

"It's me who's standing. Unlike that time, you look quite depressed! Hassi hot mom." Uchiha Madara said proudly, his eyes revealing an unconcealable confidence and satisfaction.

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy because he firmly believed that the battle had ended with his victory.

However, what Uchiha Madara did not expect was that Senju Hashirama had already been lurking quietly under the water, waiting for the best moment to attack.

When he saw Uchiha Madara letting down his guard, Senju Hashirama knew that his opportunity had come. He was ready to use all his strength to catch Uchiha Madara off guard and deliver a fatal blow.

Yuxi was keenly aware of Hashirama Senju's intentions and took in every one of his moves.

Faced with such a complicated and difficult situation, Yu Xi couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Should I just sit back and do nothing? If I intervene, will it have a negative impact on the 'Moon Eye' project?"

"But if I remain indifferent to this, I seem to be feeling a little sorry for Madara..." Yuxi was very conflicted and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Time passed by bit by bit, and Yuxi's heart was filled with endless struggles and entanglements.

She clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes flickering, as if she was having a fierce struggle with her inner self.

Finally, after a long and intense inner struggle, Yu Xi resolutely decided to take action.

She took a deep breath, gathered all the energy in her body, and increased it suddenly at an astonishing speed.

"Madara! Be careful!" Yu Xi was anxious and shouted at the top of her voice.

When Uchiha Madara heard the warning, he was a little at a loss. Senju Hashirama had already grasped the extremely sharp blade and pounced on him like a surging wave.

The blade flashed, sharp and swift, and slashed straight at Uchiha Madara's vital parts!

Life and death are often just a matter of a moment. Uchiha Madara's pupils suddenly contracted, and he clearly felt the breath of death emanating from the sharp long sword.

Yu Xi suddenly took action, and at the critical moment, she used instant movement and appeared behind Uchiha Madara in an instant.

Yu Xi used her extremely strong body to block the terrifying and fierce attack that was enough to kill Uchiha Madara!

"Nail!" Immediately afterwards, Hashirama Senju, holding an extremely sharp long sword in his hand, stabbed towards Yuxi's body.

Of course! For her, this knife was no different from a tickle.

At this moment, the wood clone of Senju Hashirama, who had been hiding in front of Uchiha Madara, finally revealed his true face. His appearance, which was exactly the same as the original, disappeared in an instant.

Uchiha Madara looked over in astonishment, his originally cold and ruthless eyes were now filled with fear and disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Yuxi, the girl who usually liked to slack off, would actually stand up at such a critical moment and use her body to block the life-and-death knife for him!

Senju Hashirama was also stunned by what was happening before his eyes. He never expected that Yu Xi would suddenly appear here and block the fatal blow for Uchiha Madara without hesitation.

For a moment, the world seemed to freeze, and there were only three of them left in the entire world.

Yu Xi knew very well that her action might change the development trajectory of many things, but she did not regret it.

Because deep down in her heart, protecting those who are most important to her is her unshirkable responsibility.

"Yu Xi...why are you doing this?" Uchiha Madara's voice seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force.

He was trembling with an indescribable feeling, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his weathered cheeks like a dam bursting.

His eyes were fixed on Yu Xi, with a complex mixture of emotions in them, including deep gratitude for Yu Xi's righteous act and a strong sense of self-blame for his own powerlessness.

In response to Uchiha Madara's burning gaze, Yu Xi simply responded with a faint smile.

It seemed like a casual smile, but it filled every corner of the room like the warm spring sun.

It dispelled the haze in Uchiha Madara's heart and made him feel unprecedented warmth and peace.

"Because... you are my friend." Yu Xi's answer was brief and clear, without any hesitation.

Uchiha Madara gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to imprint the touching and warmth of this moment deep in his heart forever.

Senju Hashirama on the side also fell into silence. He just stared at Yuxi silently, but his heart was in turmoil and could not calm down.

That inexplicable emotion kept surging in my heart, mixed with endless anger.

"Yuxi!!" Senju Hashirama finally couldn't hold back his excitement and roared angrily. He clenched his fists tightly, stared at Yuxi with wide eyes,

His voice sounded like thunder: "Why are you trying to stop me?! Madara is the enemy of the village!" Every word was filled with questioning and reproach towards Yuxi's behavior.

"No matter who they are, even my closest people - friends, brothers, or even my own children, if they dare to go against the village and become the enemy of the village, I will never show mercy!" Senju Hashirama's tone was firm and resolute, as if he was declaring to Yuxi and Uchiha Madara his determination to protect the village.

Facing the rebuke from Hashirama Senju, Yuxi appeared unusually calm.
