Otsutsuki Ura was deeply puzzled. He had just arrived in the ninja world—how did these people already know who he was?
Even if they knew he belonged to the Otsutsuki Clan, that alone would have been strange enough—but they even called him by name directly.
However, before Ura could think further, Madara Uchiha had already rushed forward impatiently.
In a flash, Madara appeared directly before Otsutsuki Ura.
[Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction]
A massive torrent of flames surged from Madara's mouth. Mirai Uchiha quickly activated Great Mikoto, transporting them all into an alternate dimension.
Senju Hashirama said worriedly, "Madara, couldn't you have considered the consequences before acting?"
Madara let out a hearty laugh. "I haven't felt this excited in ages. Don't ruin the mood for me."
Saying that, he charged at Ura once again.
Faced with Madara's attacks, Ura struggled to keep up.
The opponent's taijutsu was simply too overwhelming—he stood no chance at all.
[Is this the strength of the Otsutsuki?]
[It's nothing special.]
Madara commented disappointingly.
He had been anticipating the Otsutsuki for such a long time, yet this one's power turned out to be underwhelming.
Upon hearing Madara's words, Ura felt a flicker of anger rise within him.
With a thought, his body underwent a dramatic transformation.
Crane Transformation
A golden Rinnegan appeared on Ura's forehead as his arms transformed into wings.
His skin was covered in intricate markings, and his feet transformed into sharp claws.
He looked like a humanoid beast.
After transforming into Crane Transformation, Ura's strength and speed improved significantly.
Now, he could easily withstand Madara's attacks.
"That's more like it. Now things are getting interesting."
Madara smiled. Instantly, his Susanoo emerged and swung its long katana toward Ura.
Boom!
Crash!
Crack!
Under Susanoo's assault, Ura could only dodge rapidly using his agility.
Shock filled his expression.
How could the natives of this planet possess such immense power?
Watching from the sidelines, Senju Hashirama itched to ask, "Future, what do you think of their fight?"
Mirai Uchiha shook his head. "It's not real. None of it feels real at all."
Hashirama was taken aback, confused. "What do you mean, 'not real?'"
Mirai Uchiha said coolly, "Without the signature moves—like the spinning slam, the Uchiha body slam, or the Otsutsuki elbow strike—I find it hard to acknowledge this match."
Hashirama Senju grew even more confused.
What on earth was she talking about?!
Still, after knowing her all this time, he'd become used to Mirai spouting odd remarks. He turned his attention back to Madara Uchiha and Otsutsuki Ura.
"You weak insects, thinking you've got what it takes. Looks like the Otsutsuki Clan is nothing but a bunch of glory-hunting frauds."
Madara's words nearly made Otsutsuki Ura lose control.
They were always the ones calling others insects—who dared call *them* insects?
This guy was arrogant beyond reason!
Otsutsuki Ura summoned a *Black Receiver* and thrust it fiercely at the Matoi, but it had absolutely no effect.
Immediately, he activated Thousand Paper Cranes Body Flicker and vanished to a distance, now holding a glowing red fishing rod.
"Go!"
With a powerful throw, Ura sent the hook and line flying straight toward Madara Uchiha.
Madara stood with arms crossed, smirking slightly in disdain.
Fool! Did he really think something so soft could break through his Matoi's defense?
Delusional!
Just as Madara was about to counterattack, however, the incoming hook sliced effortlessly through his Matoi and pierced his body.
As Otsutsuki Ura yanked hard, the hook ripped out a massive amount of chakra before returning to his hand.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect your chakra to turn out to be quite impressive after all."
Ura placed the chakra into the fish basket on his waist, wearing a proud smile.
Meanwhile, Madara had dropped to his knees.
His Matoi had already vanished, and all the chakra within his body had been instantly drained.
"That attack just now…what exactly was it?"
Madara muttered in disbelief.
His Matoi had been pierced directly!
Seeing Madara's condition, Hashirama quickly rushed over and asked, "Madara, are you hurt?"
Madara shook his head. "That guy's weapon is strange—it can pierce through chakra defenses. Once inside the body, it pulls out all the chakra."
"If you're going to fight him, be careful."
Upon hearing that, Hashirama replied confidently, "Don't worry. I specialize in Wood Release. There's no way that guy's weapon can pierce through wood that easily."
Madara didn't say a word—only an actual battle would show whether that would hold up.
Hashirama stood up, slammed his palms together, and roared,
[Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees]!
Chakra surged chaotically with terrifying intensity. Instantly, a massive Wooden Cage Formation erupted from the ground, ensnaring Otsutsuki Ura inside.
Otsutsuki Ura charged furiously through the forest, only to find the trees maddeningly tough—shattering them would demand immense force.
"People on this planet really do wield some bizarre powers."
Otsutsuki Ura continued attempting to strike Senju Hashirama with his fishing hook, but it failed to pierce through the solid Wood Release techniques as easily as it had cut through the ethereal Susanoo.
Even when he found an opening, Hashirama—who was always ready—evaded effortlessly.
"Hmph! Originally, I had no intention of killing anyone. This is all your fault!"
With a cold snort, Otsutsuki Ura absorbed all of Uchiha Madara's chakra stored within his fish basket.
[Star-Crushing Heavens Fate: Dragon Palace!]
Amplified by the fish basket, Uchiha Madara's chakra grew even more ferocious and intense.
A gigantic blackish-purple fish monster appeared, its enormous mouth opening wide to form a massive dark-red chakra sphere.
Sensing that violent power, Hashirama's expression shifted instantly.
This attack, unleashing all of Uchiha Madara's enhanced chakra, was even more horrifying than the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball had been in its time.
"Let's go all out."
Hashirama instantly entered Sage Mode, pressed his palms together, and roared, "Wood Release: Thousand Hands Manipulation Force: Thrust!"
The colossal thousand-armed form arose from the earth. Simultaneously, thousands of arms lashed out at the chakra sphere.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion thundered outward, shaking the entire space violently!
