"Bastard! How dare you humiliate me like this, I'll kill you!"
Utterly defeated by Uchiha Madara's kick and punch, Urashiki crawled up from the ground. As a noble member of the Otsutsuki clan, he had been so humiliated by a mere human from a lower planet that his molars were about to shatter.
"It seems I need to take down this barking dog first before this place can quiet down."
Uchiha Madara flicked his recovered arm. A ball of blue chakra surged from his body, followed by a skeletal phantom that appeared above his head and began to form hand seals along with Madara's movements.
"Chōshinsei!"
A colossal meteor pierced the clouds and descended above the vast plain. This sight caused the reinforcement troops who had just arrived to immediately slam on the brakes and turn back. Who unleashed this ninjutsu?
Did he intend to kill his own allies as well?
Hashirama Senju watched the giant meteor above with speechlessness and said helplessly, "Madara, are you trying to include me in your attack range too?"
Uchiha Madara looked at Hashirama as if he were an idiot, unable to comprehend how such a fool had defeated him back then.
"You're already a dead man, are you afraid of death now?"
Hashirama Senju blinked. The slow-witted man finally came to his senses. He was an Edo Tensei body; this kind of mutually destructive ninjutsu wouldn't affect him at all.
Seeing that Hashirama understood, Uchiha Madara snorted coldly and then looked towards Urashiki in the distance.
The opponent had golden Rinnegan on his forehead, so ordinary ninjutsu would probably be ineffective against him.
Although he had easily subdued Urashiki earlier, the opponent's speed and strength could not be underestimated. However, compared to the battle-hardened Uchiha Madara, he was still too inexperienced.
Let's start with a meteor to see what other abilities the opponent has.
Urashiki's expression turned vicious. After transforming, he lost his spatial teleportation ability and couldn't even use the Thousand Crane Body Flicker. Such large-scale offensive ninjutsu was truly his nemesis.
If he couldn't dodge it, he would shatter this meteor!
Suddenly, Hashirama Senju let out a soft exclamation. Uchiha Madara followed the sound and saw that Isshiki, who had been bound by Wood Style, had vanished. He hadn't even shown signs of struggling, which explained Hashirama's surprise.
At this moment, Isshiki's figure had already appeared below the meteor, gazing indifferently at Madara and Hashirama below, showing no concern for the colossal meteor that was blocking out the sky.
*Pop!*
Isshiki casually extended his palm, and two small pebbles landed in his hand. He then crushed them with a pinch.
In the sky, the trace of the clouds being broken was still clearly visible, but the sky-obscuring meteor had disappeared.
Uchiha Madara's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected the opponent to break his ninjutsu so easily.
"Shrinking oneself, shrinking objects, indeed a very simple yet tricky ability."
Hashirama Senju added, "But it seems it can't shrink my Wood Style."
Isshiki, whose ability had been seen through, showed no expression and simply raised his palm towards Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
"Be careful!"
Uchiha Madara instantly moved from his spot. In his Rinnegan's vision, countless tiny black dots were attacking them.
"Wood Style: Ranking Barrage!"
*Buzz!*
Several black rods abruptly stabbed into the ground where Uchiha Madara had just stood. Hashirama's shield was also covered in black rods.
"You can also instantly enlarge objects."
Suddenly, Hashirama Senju felt a tremendous sense of crisis from behind him. He hurriedly raised his shield to block, colliding head-on with a heavy punch from Isshiki.
*Crack!*
The wooden shield, capable of withstanding a single slash from Uchiha Madara's Susanoo Armored Perfect Body, showed a slight crack. Madara's eyelids twitched at this sight. Although Hashirama was not at his peak now, this punch was too exaggerated.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Punch after punch, Isshiki forcefully shattered Hashirama's Ranking Barrage into wooden debris. But Hashirama was not one to passively receive blows. A wooden dragon surged from the ground and tightly bound Isshiki the moment his Wood Style was broken. The immense binding force forced Isshiki to shrink and escape.
"A truly troublesome ability."
Before Hashirama could locate Isshiki, four black rods instantly pierced Hashirama's limbs, firmly restraining him.
"Damn it! When... did he place the shrunken black rods on me during our previous fight?"
Isshiki's figure appeared above Hashirama Senju, and with a cold expression, he said, "I'll deal with you first. Uchiha Madara alone poses no threat to me."
"Are you really ignoring me!"
A powerful repulsive force flung Isshiki away. Uchiha Madara extended his palm, and Hashirama Senju was pulled to his side, with a hint of mockery in his voice, "God of Shinobi? Is that all you've got?"
"Sorry, Madara, you've been troubled. It won't happen again."
"Hmph!"
Uchiha Madara pulled out the black rods that had pierced Hashirama. These black rods were truly restraining to their Edo Tensei bodies.
"Die! All of you, die!"
Urashiki appeared above Madara and Hashirama, his eyes venomously fixed on Uchiha Madara. He raised his palm and roared, "Tenshō Ryūsei-mei: Ryūgū!"
Numerous purple chakras surged from Urashiki's palm, transforming into a giant oarfish. A colossal purple chakra sphere rapidly condensed in its ferocious maw, and then it opened its mouth and spat it towards the two.
"What an idiot!"
The one who spoke was none other than his teammate, Isshiki Otsutsuki. However, he did not stop Urashiki's actions. In his eyes, himself and the Divine Tree fruit were paramount; even his own kin could be used.
The giant chakra sphere quickly enveloped the two, but neither Uchiha Madara nor Hashirama Senju showed any intention of dodging.
Soon, a white light flashed, and the massive chakra sphere was completely consumed. Uchiha Madara retracted his hand, which was emitting white smoke. The Rinnegan in his eyes showed a mocking glint.
Had this guy been beaten stupid by him?
Urashiki, suspended in the air, finally remembered that Uchiha Madara possessed the Rinnegan, and he cursed again, "Damn low-level human, you..."
Before Urashiki could finish speaking, a giant fist hammered twice on his forehead. Urashiki fell from the sky like a dead bird, landing on the ground. Then, a colossal wooden figure stomped on Urashiki twice more before stopping.
It seemed that just as Madara had humiliated him, Hashirama had to add his share as well.
"The minnows have finally quieted down."
Isshiki sneered, "I know all your abilities, both of you. You will never be my match."
Hashirama Senju opened his eyes. A peculiar pattern appeared on his face as he said, "Perhaps what you say is true, but!"
A skeleton formed by blue chakra condensed around Uchiha Madara, and his aura instantly surged, "There is one thing you definitely don't know: the combined strength of Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju!"
"Because even we ourselves don't know!"
"Sage Art: Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands!"
A thousand-armed Kannon statue, even larger than a Tailed Beast, erupted from the ground. The thousands of arms behind it, each with a palm as vast as a small mountain.
This was not the end. Uchiha Madara, who stepped on the head of the Kannon statue for the first time, was not excited by this. The boundless blue chakra from his body instantly enveloped the entire Thousand-Armed Kannon, cladding it in a deep blue armor. Each Buddha hand seemed to be wearing a deep blue gauntlet.
"Combined Secret Technique: Susanoo Armor for the Great Buddha!"
