Bold is for attacks

Kale's POV

"Forest Genesis!"

The ground ripped open and tendrils of wood rose up.

"My Grandfather's Jutsu?" Tsunade said.

Madara has so much power, we've been attacking for a while and barely made a single dent, even with me and Uncle using Supporting techniques.

"It's moving this way!" The Mizukage warned.

"Gaara!"

"HMMM!" he crossed his arms "I know."

Sand collected around us and pulled us all up and away from the moving trees, leaving us safely in the air.

He's already mastered Wood Style for a tree and flower Genesis? Just what did Kabuto do?

The flowers hissed and sprayed out a cloud of yellow poison gas.

"Don't inhale it, even my poison resistance hexes can't protect you from those flowers." Uncle warned.

"You're too worried about the flowers." Madara said summoning Susanoo and appearing behind us before slamming us down into the roots of his new forest.

"GAAHH!"

"Magnificent Flame Jutsu!"

Madara breathed out fire and ignited the dry wood of the forest causing a wildfire to start.

"HACK!" I coughed from the smoke "Put the fire out!"

I stumbled back and looked up, the fire raged on above me.

So this is how I bite it, all that talk and bragging to Naruto and I'm gonna let him down? I wanted to be stronger to help my friends but the time I make my stand I end up looking like a weak old fool…I don't have Naruto or Sasuke's strength, I don't have Sakura's resolve all I've ever been is the smart one who was good at cast Jutsu and sealing arts. People have said I have the heart and skill of legends like the First Hokage but here I am suffocating in some muddy ditch. I'm pathetic…

I opened my eyes.

"I REFUSE!" I yelled "I refuse to die like this!"

"Nine Layer Seal: Natures Wrath!"

I levitated all my staves and slammed them down, triggering a missive burst of earth and vegetation to blow Madara's wall away.

This is…all that striding paid off.

I casted a Jutsu to make myself float and got out of the fire and stared down Madara.

"I'm threw being just a smart ass." I said "Now I'm showing my real power!"

"Wood Style: Tree Bind Eternal Burial!"

A tree grew around Madara and crushed him within it's trunk.

"Get back out we're done yet." I hissed "Wood Style: Smothering Bind Technique!"

I sent out roots to once more tie up and shatter Madara's armor, I got a look at his body, implanted in his chest was a face one that felt eerily similar to my new Jutsu.

That's…

"That was weak." Madara said staring me down.

"That face." I looked down and saw the Kages were up "That's the First Hokage's face."

"So that's how he learned the Wood Style." Tsunade said "But Kale…"

"You read and practice hard enough you can accomplish anything." I said "I might not have the brawn of Naruto but I've got the smarts to be just as strong!"

For the last three years I've studied every record of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, I've focused on learning Earth and Water techniques and now all of its paid off…I'm the only person on this planet without the cells of the First Hokage to perform Wood Style Jutsu. With this I may just be able to seal Madara for good.

"You woman with the Medical Ninjutsu." Madara said pointing at his chest "You're a descendant of this man are you not?"

"Maybe, what's it matter?" Tsunade said.

"Then you will be the first I strike down." Madara said flatly.

"Strike the medic first and victory become far easier." Uncle noted.

Do you think it will be that simple?" the Mizukage asked "We're not going to let you walk up to her!"

"You are wrong, I'm doing it because she I a descendant of Hashirama." Madara said "And after her I will kill the boy, their feeble techniques are worthless compared to Hashirama. He could heal wounds without a seal, grow forests in a blink, he was on a whole different scale. I fought him to the death, unlike this weak little game. What's so special about you even if you are his descendant."

"The boy has already outclassed you." Madara told Tsunade "You cannot use the Wood Style, you medicinal techniques are nothing compared to his, and above all else you are a weak and feeble woman. Weak people are ugly and Senju even more so."

"You're acting awfully self-important!" Raikage yelled.

"He's right." The old woman said.

"Tsunade!"

"I'm a Descendant of the first and I can't use the Wood Style, my medicine is nothing compared to his, and yes I am a woman, but your wrong about me being weak because of it." Tsunade said "But what I inherited from my Grandfather wasn't simple strength, it's something that flows through generations, my real strength comes from the Will of Fire."

"You think you can beat me with inherited will?" Madara sighed "Will ahs nothing to do with power. "

"Then you're wrong." Tsunade told him "That will is what helped me create Medical Jutsu, as well as the medical ninja and their rules."

"Hmph." Uncle smirked pulling out his lantern "Get ready…"

"Rule 1- Never stop treating until a patient's dying breath." Tsunade said activating the mark on her forehead "Rule 2- Medical Ninja are never to engage in battle, and Rule 3- a Medical Ninja must be the last member of the team to die. Those are the rules I teach my students, and there's one more."

"Rule 4- Anyone who masters Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu can break the other three rules!"

Her strongest technique.

"Never heard of it." Madara shrugged.

"A Jutsu only I know!" Tsunade ran forward "So that makes this my fight!"

"Adding one medical ninja won't change anything." Madara told her.

"I'm not just some medical ninja!" she yelled punching Madara and cracking his Susanoo shell.

"Fire Style: Wildfire Blast!"

"Water Style: Water Wall!"

Mizukage shot her own blast of water to block Madara's attack.

"And Water Style: Water Dragon Missile!"

"Light Weight Rock Technique!"

The Raikage and Tsuchikage appeared behind and chopped the back of Susanoo while Tsunade kicked the front.

"Chaos Meteor!"

Uncle rattled his staff and lantern and a huge flaming rock dropped out of the sky and hit Madara.

"RAAH." The zombie groaned throwing rubble off "If I had known they'd be this weak I would have revived you Hashirama, what you left after you died is just some power, all my brother left was his eyes. The only thing that can be passed down is hatred!"

"Alacrity!"

Uncle enchanted Tsunade's feet and she dashed forward, drilling Madara with a punch.

"This is my chance!" I moved my hands "We have to hurry Gaara!"

"Sand Funeral!"

I made wooden beams rise up and pin Madara down "Hokage Style Elder Jutsu: Tenth Edict On Enlightenment"

"Sealing Mark!" Uncle's sealing marks appeared on the pyramid and locked in place.

"He's in!" I yelled.

"Nice!" Tsunade nodded "GAH!"

"No…"

A huge flaming spike ripped through the tree trunks and torn a hole through Lady Tsunade's stomach.

"Tsunade!"

"The Wood Clone Jutsu!" Madara said rising out.

"We sealed a clone." I dropped to my knees "How was I…so stupid."

I got careless…and got Tsunade killed.

"Well then." Madara stepped forward "Who's next?"

"HRAAAA!" Tsunade lifted her arm and snapped the sword of Susanoo.

"What?!"

Of course her healing technique is still active!

"I see." Madara said pushing her away "A healing technique needing no seals the same power as Hashirama, but something like that can't kill me."

"It was meant to make an opening." She said.

"Particle Style: Particle Dismantling Beam!"

Onoki shot off a huge beam at Madara "He's might not kill but mine does!"

Madara blinked and the attack vanished.

"Are you a fool Onoki?" Madara sighed "You cannot beat me without a direct paralyzing hit or sealing me."

"My wood cushed your arm." I pointed out.

"I took that hit just to show you Hashirama's face." Madara smirked "I hoped to lower your morale but it seems to have had the inverse effect."

"I'm going to ask you something." I said "You may have outwitted us with the wood clone once but you have to know that trick can't possibly work again and you have to admit we forced you back into using a clone, like it or not we are strong."

"Well it is 7 against 1." Madara noted.

"No one said we had to play fair." Mizukage noted "We must win at all costs, it just shows we acknowledge you strength."

"I never said you were cowards, these odds are just perfect." Madara crossed his fingers "Multiple Wood Clone Jutsu!"

A horde of wood clones appeared, five for each of us on the battlefield.

"Now it's five against one." Madara said "Don't call me a coward no one said we had to fight fair."

He's mocking us.

"Now a question." Madara said "Would you like the clones to use Susanoo or not? Okay times up, I'll pick yes."

All the clones erupted into giant walking blue armors with swords each trying to attack us. I was using my trees to hold them back while casting different Just with my staves but five Susanoo is just too much I couldn't even kill one. I looked over and saw Uncles flaming demon trying to hold a few back but he was struggling too.

This is it one the back foot with no escape…pushing myself to my limit.

"Arcana Mode!" I opened my eyes "Jutsu Cancel!"

I blinked and all the clones fell apart.

"HHHHAA!" I hissed falling over.

So much Chakra…I can't use that technique so liberally.

"We got one shot!" I yelled "Let's do it!"

"Separation technique!" Onoki dropped a huge particle cube on Madara, breaking an arm and forcing the zombie back into the Mizukage's water dragon.

The sand and lightning in the water conducted to freeze Madara in place.

"Sealing Technique!" Uncle crossed his fingers and formed a barrier to hold Madara.

"RAAA!" the coffin burst open and a full Susanoo appeared "I guess it's time for me to get serious! This is the end for all of you!"

The Susanoo stood above us, it was gigantic, huge…unbeatable.

"I told you the only one who could stop me was Hashirama." He said "Your cheap knock off and the woman can't even combine to get close enough."

Madara slashed the Susanoo's giant sword and blasted all of us back. I looked over, that flick of his wrist just cut a mountain range.

This whole time…he was toying with us.

"Prepare to be crushed!" Madara said lifting his giant foot.

"As much as it hurts…I don't think there's anything left for us to try." Mizukage frowned.

"Well I ain't giving up." Raikage growled.

"RHHHAA!"

Madara swung at us but suddenly his Susanoo's arm fell of and deconstructed. Madara fell to the ground and was surrounded by light

"This is…the Resurrection has been canceled." Uncle said.

"Someone must have stopped Kabuto but how…?" Tsunade wondered.

"It doesn't matter whoever it was is a hero." Tsuchikage said.

"Heh." I wiped the sweat of my forehead "Seems there is a god out there."

"HRAAA!" Madara ran forward.

"He wants to take us out before he dies!" Gaara yelled.

Madara crossed his fingers and let out some fireballs.

Mizukage pulled back for a water blast but she was gonna be too slow.

"HAA!" Tsunade jumped up and punched the fire away, scaring her arms.

"Tsunade!"

"I'm fine!" she hissed healing her hands as her mark timed out just as Madara's spirit pulled away.

"HAA!" suddenly it reconnected with his body and summoned a Susanoo sword.

"Impossible!" I gasped "NO!"

Just as Madara went to stab her the old hag was pulled way.

"What the heck?" Raikage wondered.

"After using her healing mark so long she should have passed out." Uncle noted "What just happened?"

"Hmm?" Madara looked at her "Your spirit retuned and you gained Chakra…"

"Sorry about that." Tsunade brushed herself off "I was having a chat with an old friend."

"Why is Madara's charka clinging to his body?" the Mizukage asked.

"The resurrection was released he should be dead again." Raikage noted.

"He must have canceled out the release." I said "he took over the Jutsu himself and became a immortal renegade, unlimited chakra!"

"You should tell the one who summoned me not to be so careless!" Madara yelled "Well the complete Susanoo, anyone he sees it dies so they say, I can't tarnish that legend…my fun was ruined I suppose I should go and get the Nine Tails then."

"This is not someone we can beat!" the Mizukage yelled.

"Then we stall him!" I yelled.

Before I could do another thing Madara attacked, it all happened so fast, Raikage got stabbed, the Mizukage and the Tsuchikage were shanked, Uncle, Gaara and I were blow away and Tsunade was ripped in half.

I had never seen violence like this, so quickly and without one more word Madara flew off.

"Ha…ha…ha…" I just kneeled there stunned, looking at the blood all around "I…I can't take this."

"Kale…if your still breathing get…over here." Tsunade hissed.

"Oh god." I looked at her.

"Snap out of it!" she groaned "GAAAA!"

"Don't do things like that." I said "Just hang on I'll think of something, I'll save you."

"We don't have time." She said "Leave this place to me."

"But your body."

"I said don't worry about me." She said "You have to chase down Madara and save Naruto and the others before it's too late."

"I…can't." I shivered.

"Look at me." She gulped to hide her pain "You are strong…now go and fight, that's my order."

"You're always putting faith in me." I frowned "Why."

"Because I do see him in you. My Grandfather you remind me of him, a kind soul, smart and skilled." She smiled "Now go, and don't let me down."

I stood up and turned away.

"I may have only just learned Wood Style but I'll put it to good use." I said wiping my eyes "You better not die old hag cause someday I'm gonna master this Jutsu, and when that happens I want you to see it in person."
