Prologue: The end of a dream

Night. A big tree is located in the middle of a battlefield. There were traces of the fight everywhere: holes, burned rock, mud, and blood-spattered.

Nine strange beasts make a circle around a floating old man with people around him. Even with that scene, everyone looks at two people who were far away. Especially a fallen ninja with long black hair whose red eyes slowly faded.

He was one of the strongest ninjas that ever existed. Possessor of the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha and a talent like no other. Madara Uchiha lay on the floor half-naked, exposing on his chest the face of the man who stole his power. At his side, the man in question.

It was the end of the fourth great ninja war and Madara was the loser. Death was the only thing that awaited him after his Bijuu was extracted from him. Hashirama Senju knelt him by his side to have a better approach with him. The Senju looked at his fallen rival in the eyes, although he only looked at the sky.

The two shared what would be their last talk for sure.

"Neither you…nor I…we got…what we wanted…" Madara said weakly.

"It would not be easy. There is a limit to what we can do during our lives. That's what the next generations are for, to do it for us". Hashirama clarified.

"As always...so naive…hmphehe…you...were always…the optimist…But...maybe...that was…right…" Admitted Madara.

After a pause, he continued.

"My dream...came to the end…but yours…can still be fulfilled…"

"You hurried too much. Nothing would have happened because we couldn't achieve it. The important thing was to educate the next generation to carry it out".

"Then it was impossible…for me…because I always hated…to be followed…" The Uchiha said bitterly.

Hashirama looked down. A moment later, he replies.

"Do you remember what you told me as children? 'Ninjas never know when they will die. To be immortal and not to die, we must expose our true selves, exchange drinks and toast as brothers' "

He turns his gaze to his friend.

"But we died, and now we can only toast as war buddies." The Senju spoke.

"…as…war buddies?…Well, in that case, we…are…rea…dy…"

Madara closed his eyes. A few seconds passed and his rival just looked at him with regret. Surely a man like him deserved a better ending than this…

Nearby Rikudou Sennin, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Sakura looked at two.

"Now I will release the five Kages and undo the [Edo-Tensei]" Announced the great sage.

Without warning, a black hole opens just below Madara and quickly swallowing the body of this same.

It startles everyone.

(A dimensional ability? But I'm sure my mother has been sealed!)

There was no time to analyze.

[Rikudou no Jutsu: Tendo] [Banshō Ten'in]

The wise old man doesn't waste time and stops Madara's absorption. But it was only temporary, the power of attraction of the hole was stronger. Even with all his strength, it was a useless exercise.

(I-impossible…)

The portal exerts a barrier of repulsion as a response to the attempt to avoid the subtraction of the fallen body. All present are pushed.

Until the last, Madara disappears.

Naruto hurriedly approaches the old man.

"Old man of the six paths! What happened?"

It absorbed the sage in his thoughts. His perception went to work in a hurry. After analyzing all the possibilities, he concluded that Madara's body was no longer in his world, so someone has dragged him into another dimension…

Sighing, he answers "…This is a problem…"
