Naruto: Uchiha Izuna with system

The heavy rain poured relentlessly over Baili Stone City, drenching the Uchiha military camp stationed outside. The rhythmic crashing of raindrops on the tents filled the air, sounding as if the storm itself sought to penetrate the makeshift shelters. Soldiers moved cautiously under the downpour, their expressions tense but resolute.

Nearly four years had passed since Uchiha Madara and Izuna first led their clan into this prolonged war against the Senju. Now, the decisive moment was at hand.

Sitting calmly in his camp, Izuna stared at the flickering oil lamp on the table before him. "If the Senju fall in this battle, the founding of Konoha won't be far away," he thought, his mind racing with strategies to seal the Uchiha's victory.

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted his musings. "Deputy Clan Leader!" Uchiha Zhan burst into the tent, his armor soaked from the rain. Despite his age and semi-retired status, the old warrior's face glowed with excitement.

Izuna raised an eyebrow at the uncharacteristic display. "What is it, Zhan?"

Zhan handed over a drenched scroll, his voice trembling with anticipation. "News from the northern front, my lord. Uchiha Madara has achieved a great victory!"

The scroll detailed Madara's resounding triumph. On the northern front, Madara had led the Uchiha forces to rout the combined armies of the Hatake and Kaguya clans. Hatake Soya, the leader of the Hatake clan, and over a dozen elite jounin, including Hatake Ren, had fallen to Madara's blade. The northern battlefield, once a source of concern for the Uchiha, was now firmly under their control.

What shocked the Uchiha forces most was Madara's relentless power. His fully armored Susanoo had decimated the enemy ranks, leaving no doubt about the overwhelming gap in strength between him and his opponents.

Having secured the north, Madara was now marching south with a force of 300 elite warriors to join Izuna.

Izuna's lips curled into a confident smile as he read the report. "With Madara's arrival, this war is as good as over."

Zhan couldn't contain his excitement. "Deputy Chief, this is the turning point we've been waiting for! With both you and the clan leader leading the charge, the Senju won't stand a chance."

Izuna nodded, his crimson eyes gleaming. "When the rain stops, we'll begin our final assault. This will be the battle that decides the future of the Fire Nation."

Meanwhile, in the Senju camp, the remnants of the Hatake and Kaguya forces stumbled into the tents, battered and soaked from the retreat. The once-proud warriors now bore the scars of their devastating defeat.

Senju Yunma, who had been sent to receive them, couldn't hide his shock. "How… How could this happen? We were told you had the advantage!"

Hatake Sakusuki, the highest-ranking Hatake survivor, shook his head silently. The shame of their loss was evident in his downcast eyes. It was impossible to put into words the sheer disparity in power they had faced.

Senju Hashirama himself tended to the wounded, his Asura bloodline chakra healing even the gravest injuries. But as he worked, his heart grew heavy. Despite his efforts, the morale in the camp was at an all-time low. The shadow of defeat loomed over them, and the absence of his brother, Tobirama, only deepened the weight on his shoulders.

"So it was Madara," Hashirama thought grimly after hearing the accounts of the survivors. He had suspected that Madara's return to the battlefield would signal disaster, and now his fears had been realized.

"Has Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan evolved as well?" he wondered, recalling the last time he'd examined Madara's deteriorating eyes. Back then, the signs of impending blindness had been clear. Yet now, not only had Madara fully recovered, but his strength had seemingly surpassed its previous peak.

As the rain continued to fall, Hashirama sat alone in his tent, deep in thought. "If this war continues, the Senju will be defeated. But the real danger lies in the hatred this conflict is fostering. If we don't stop it now, the dream of a peaceful era will be lost."

He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath to calm his racing thoughts. Hashirama knew he couldn't rely on sheer strength to win this war. He would have to find another way.

A decision formed in his mind. "If I can't win through force, then I'll try to end this war another way. I just hope Izuna will listen."

The heavy rain finally ceased, leaving the battlefield soaked and muddy. As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, Senju Yunma rushed into Hashirama's tent, his face pale.

"Clan Leader! Uchiha forces are advancing. Two thousand strong, led by Izuna himself!"

Hashirama's heart sank. "And Madara?"

Yunma hesitated before nodding grimly. "He's with them. He's leading the vanguard."

Hashirama closed his eyes, steeling himself for what was to come. "So, it has come to this."
