Chapter 408: You Really Sold Yourself Out...
Tobirama realized the difficulty in seeking reinforcements.
The issue wasn't who to call, but who could be free from the cause-and-effect consequences of killing Madara.
So, was it possible to just defeat Madara without killing him?
That was more like a joke.
Battles at the highest level almost always involve life-and-death stakes. On this side, Madara from Parallel World 2 wouldn't hold back either. He would definitely attack ruthlessly, and no one could guarantee that no accidents would happen during the fight.
Even if it was theoretically possible, it wouldn't mean much!
If they only defeated Madara without killing or capturing him alive, then as soon as he got a chance to catch his breath, it would be Tobirama and all of Konoha that would be destroyed!
After all, the reinforcements from another world could only stay for a limited time. There was no way they could protect Konoha indefinitely.
As for capturing Madara alive? That might be one solution.
However, it was far more difficult than killing him—at least several times more difficult. Unless someone was at the level of the Rikudou Sennin, there was a possibility of pulling it off.
What about Talk no Jutsu?
