Chapter 202: Chapter 201 » Hashirama: You Old Dog! Madara: …Old Sucker?
T/N: I really don't know why, but for some reason the original author of this book likes to take specific characters and give them gay connotations. Like in the case of Naruto and Sasuke in the previous chapters, which I left in just because it was honestly funny, unexpected, and there are literally tons of jokes about it.
But now he tried to do it again with Hashirama and Madara, and throughout the entire chapter. So I replaced all the emotion that bordered on 'romantic love' and just changed it to 'love between friends and brothers'.
To be clear, I have nothing against it, it's just not my vibe. And since I'm the one translating, I do what I want.
That's it, and enjoy reading!

"I was hoping to rely on you to increase my Villain Points a bit more... But looking at it this way... I gave you a chance, and you're useless after all." At this moment, Yusuke looked at the little Uchiha in the distance with a helpless expression.
Meanwhile, Madara's Edo Tensei body began to slowly recover. Once fully healed, he heard these undisguised mocking words.
Upon hearing them, he was on the verge of collapse.
"Cough..." Madara was so angered by Yusuke's words that he nearly coughed up blood.
However, he could only forcibly suppress his urge to engage in another fight to the death with Yusuke. He knew it would be futile anyway.
"Hm?" Suddenly, his brows furrowed deeply.
Why had he felt an extremely familiar presence beneath his feet just now? This feeling... It wasn't a trap set by Yusuke in front of him.
It was a feeling of indescribable familiarity.
Familiarity?! How could he be experiencing such a feeling?
In his entire life, he had only felt this wonderfully strange sensation towards two people! First, naturally, was his little brother Izuna! As for the other...
Thinking of this, Madara's old face slightly shrugged. Thankfully, his face was now covered in dust. He felt embarrassed to have such feelings for his ultimate enemy.
The second person, of course, was Hashirama!
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
In the pitch-dark underground passage, Hashirama and an extremely excited Izuna were rushing towards the top at full speed!
"Ah hahaha... I'm about to see Madara! Just thinking about seeing that old dog's face, I really don't know what I'm going to do!"
Although they ended up fighting to the death in the Valley of the End, it's undeniable that they had formed a friendship for several years before that, even founding Konohagakure together.
While Madara had a tsundere relationship with everyone, be it friends or family, Hashirama was the opposite — very friendly and outgoing.
The prospect of meeting his old comrade made Hashirama excited. It was enough to make him forget that he was the one who had killed Madara.
"Hey! Madara is my big brother! You're an outsider, why are you so excited?" Izuna pouted, somewhat displeased.
"Hey!! Izuna... Listen to what you're saying... Our Senju clan and your Uchiha clan have been allies for generations, you know. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
After hearing Hashirama's words, the corner of Izuna's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"How would I know? When I was alive, I only knew one thing! That is, the Uchiha and your Senju were the greatest enemies!!"
Hearing this, Hashirama couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, expressing helplessness.
"Let's not talk about these unpleasant topics! We're about to see that old dog! It's really nostalgic! I wonder if Madara will recognize me. Time flies, the years slip away..." At this moment, he had started to become sentimental.
Izuna beside him almost threw up, but failed as he hadn't eaten anything.
'This Senju people are all weirdos…'
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next second, Hashirama had arrived at the passage beneath Madara's feet. He raised his fist without hesitation and swung it fiercely towards the wall at the top of the passage!
BANG!!
The thick wall crumbled as Hashirama smashed through it! Dust and stones scattered everywhere, and sunlight streamed in through the newly formed opening.
Hashirama's face bore a fierce grin as he emerged. He had already spotted his target standing at the entrance of the hole — a dumbfounded Madara!
It was indeed Madara, that same unsentimental Uchiha he knew so well!
"Ah haha... I'm here, you old dog!!!" Hashirama bellowed.
With a powerful leap, he burst from the hole, his shout of "you old dog" echoing for miles around.
"What the hell?! Holy shit!!" Madara exclaimed, his head spinning.
He couldn't believe his eyes. Was that really that old sucker?!
{T/N: Personal pun in the way Madara calls him. 'Old Dog' for Madara and 'Old Sucker' for Hashirama, because he has the same hobby of Tsunade. }
Hashirama's appearance mirrored his own — cracked armor and jet-black sclera. Clearly, Orochimaru had used Edo Tensei to bring him back.
'That Orochimaru... I didn't expect he still had this trick up his sleeve.' Madara mused.
As he faced Hashirama, his mind raced. Could this turn the tide in his battle against Yusuke? Might his chances of victory improve, even slightly?
It should, right?
For once, Madara found himself uncertain.
"Hahaha... Come on, old dog! It's been so long since we've seen each other, hasn't it? Come! Give me a handshake like in the old times..."
At this moment, Hashirama completely disregarded his current situation. Just after seeing Madara, he rushed towards his friend!
"Stop! Stop right now! You damned...!!" At this time, Madara, after seeing his actions, his entire face immediately darkened!
Is this really the time to be greeting each other?! And by the way, doesn't this guy remember he killed him??
He quickly stretched out his right hand to stop Hashirama, but his old friend was determined to give him a handshake — a hearty handshake-hug from their Warring States days. Hashirama completely ignored Madara's resistance.
"Ha! Come on, Madara, you old dog! How about a handshake? It's not as if I killed you and you're holding a grudge, right? Am I asking too much? You're hurting my feelings! Madara! Come on!" Hashirama bounded towards him, closing the distance with each step.
"That's exactly the reason, you old sucker!"
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
This scene made Yusuke in the sky not far away widen his eyes involuntarily!
From the moment Orochimaru resurrected Hashirama and the others, he had already discovered all their traces.
The reason he didn't stop it was because one Madara alone wasn't enough for him to farm Villain Points. But now, with Hashirama added to the mix, wouldn't the joy of farming Points come once again?
So, he wanted to see if the reunion of these two legendary figures from the Warring States era would be enough to make him take things more seriously. After all, they were once the most formidable alliance in the ninja world.
If the combined strength of these two couldn't pique his interest, then perhaps there really wasn't anyone in the entire ninja world who could interest him.
Of course, the Ōtsutsuki Clan was considered an alien species, not counted as locals.
Yusuke looked at Hashirama in the distance and Madara who was constantly fleeing in all directions. At this moment, the scene before his eyes made him click his tongue.
"Tsk... He can't escape even if he grows wings."
And at this time, two whooshing sounds quickly arrived behind him. It was Konan and Tsunade, the two women who had flown over.
At this moment, Tsunade, after landing beside Yusuke, stopped. Then, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. Looking at her great-grandfather who was constantly chasing Madara below, on her forehead, a clear "井" immediately appeared.
"Damn... It really is my great-grandfather... Those bastards even summoned him?! How dare they desecrate the souls of the dead like this! They deserve to die!" Tsunade exclaimed indignantly upon seeing the scene below.
"A friendly reminder, Tsunade. This Edo Tensei technique was invented by your grand-uncle, Tobirama Senju." Yusuke tilted his head, smiling at her.
Hearing this, her cheeks immediately turned red.
"I don't care!! Even though it was invented by my grand-uncle, after all, the original intention of inventing this forbidden technique was good... Who would have known that it would be used by outsiders to do such things..."
"..."
Tsunade perfectly demonstrated the art of being stubbornly tsundere to the extreme.
"Tsunade..." Yusuke called her.
"Hm?" She tilted her head, looking at him.
"Your mouth is really hard! When kissed, it should be very soft, right?" He curled his lips, chuckling.
As soon as these words were spoken, Tsunade and Konan beside her blushed furiously.
"Tonight! You'll get what's coming to you, naughty Master!" Tsunade said, still extremely tsundere.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Meanwhile, below, Hashirama was running at full speed, constantly chasing after Madara!
"Haha! Old dog, aren't you happy to see me? Why have you been dodging me ever since you saw me? Come on! Give your old friend a handshake like in the old times!" Hashirama was laughing heartily.
"You! Don't come any closer!" Madara had now completely reached his breaking point.
Being solo-killed thirteen times by Yusuke earlier was bad enough. This time, the enemy hadn't even made a move yet, and he was already completely dumbfounded by this old sucker!
"Big brother!" At this moment, Izuna quickly emerged from the underground passage.
With a leap, he jumped out, arriving in front of Madara.
"Little brother? Izuna? It's you! Is it really you?" Madara became excited upon seeing his brother before him.
He looked at Izuna with agitation.
"Is it really you? How were you brought back with the Edo Tensei? That Obito kid's got some skills, huh! To think he even found your corpse." Madara narrowed his eyes and muttered.
