"I'll handle these inferior creatures, Lord Momoshiki!"
A massive figure stepped forward, blocking both Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
Half his face was covered. The exposed side showed sharp features, thick brows, and cold, glowing Byakugan eyes.
He stood like a mountain.
This was Kinshiki Otsutsuki—loyal guardian of Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
"Divine Charge—!"
A streak of purple lightning shot forward.
Madara and Hashirama's expressions changed instantly.
Kinshiki used his own body like a battering ram—both offense and defense combined.
"Susanoo!"
A massive blue skeletal armor erupted around them.
BOOM!
It shattered instantly—barely holding for a split second.
Madara and Hashirama retreated at high speed, circling behind him.
They attacked simultaneously—fists and kicks like falling hammers.
But—
A red ring appeared behind Kinshiki.
It expanded instantly into a shield, blocking everything.
THUD! THUD!
Both were forced back.
Kinshiki turned—
The red ring shifted into a giant axe.
He swung it.
A massive arc of red energy tore through the air.
Madara and Hashirama dodged easily.
But the attack didn't stop.
BOOM!
The forest behind them split clean in half.
Hidden rogue ninjas screamed, scrambling to escape.
Some were instantly reduced to ash.
Others were crushed beneath collapsing trees.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon!"
A colossal dragon burst from the earth, charging forward.
Kinshiki swung his axe again.
The dragon shattered.
But—
More branches surged forward endlessly.
Like a swarm of living serpents, tightening around him.
The space around Kinshiki shrank.
Finally—
He was bound completely.
Madara watched calmly from the side.
"He's strong. Extremely strong."
"But in the end… he's just brute force."
The crowd watching finally relaxed.
"Hashirama really is on another level…"
"That monster got restrained!"
Inside the wooden prison—
A red glow suddenly appeared.
BOOM!
The entire structure exploded.
Kinshiki stood there—completely unharmed.
Then—
A swirling vortex appeared.
And he vanished.
"What…? That's my Kamui!"
Obito Uchiha's face changed drastically.
"Be careful," Hashirama warned calmly.
"That's space-time ninjutsu."
Madara smirked, dragging his war fan along the ground.
"Worry about yourself. He's nothing but a rat hiding in the dark."
Hashirama formed seals.
Four wood clones appeared instantly, covering all angles.
The battle resumed.
Kinshiki's attacks were devastating—
But they kept missing.
Madara and Hashirama had already figured him out.
Power alone wasn't enough.
And Kinshiki lacked real combat experience.
Like a child swinging a giant hammer—
Dangerous, but full of openings.
"You're useless," Momoshiki said coldly from above.
"You can't even handle two inferior creatures."
Before he could act—
An attack came from below.
Shuriken and kunai filled the sky.
Countless reanimated ninjas rushed forward.
Even the hidden Urashiki Otsutsuki was targeted.
Momoshiki's eyes turned cold.
"Trash."
"Shinra Tensei!"
BOOM!
Every weapon shattered instantly.
He moved like lightning—
Charging straight into the crowd.
Bodies flew everywhere.
Each strike carried overwhelming force.
Even Kage-level fighters couldn't last more than a few moves.
Within moments—
The battlefield was cleared.
But the Edo Tensei bodies reformed again.
Endless.
Relentless.
"Don't use ninjutsu!" someone shouted.
"He absorbs it!"
"His taijutsu is insane!"
"This guy's defense is too strong!"
Momoshiki grew irritated.
"What are these things?"
Nearby—
Sasuke Uchiha watched closely.
"Record everything."
"Analyze their abilities."
Konoha's forces spread out, gathering data.
Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly.
"Byakugan… Rinnegan… fascinating."
"These variants are different."
"I need to study this…"
Meanwhile—
Deidara sighed.
"They're all monsters…"
He tried tossing explosives—
But they were instantly neutralized.
"I'm not going in there," he muttered.
"I still want to live."
Elsewhere—
Urashiki watched everything.
"These idiots…"
"They're going to die."
He glanced at Sasuke—and shivered.
"Sasuke," he muttered.
"That guy… is the real danger."
"Go stop the other one," Sasuke said coldly.
"Capture him alive if possible."
Urashiki sighed.
Then slipped into a space-time rift.
Meanwhile—
The other Urashiki had already fled far away.
"This place is dangerous…"
"Way too dangerous…"
"Better to retreat first."
He kept moving through space—
Getting farther and farther from the battlefield.
Until—
He stopped.
Someone stood in front of him.
Same face.
Same aura.
Same everything.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"I'm you."
"Urashiki Ōtsutsuki."
"That's impossible!"
"There's only one of me!"
The other one smiled.
"There's only one in a single world."
"But across parallel worlds?"
"Having more than one… isn't strange."
Urashiki's face darkened.
"Fine."
"Then die."
He attacked.
A rain of red energy meteors filled the sky.
The other Urashiki responded—
With the exact same attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
They canceled each other out.
Urashiki froze.
The other one just smiled wider.
That smile—
Snapped something inside him.
The battle erupted.
Every move mirrored.
Every technique matched.
Time rewind.
Spatial distortions.
Rinnegan abilities.
Everything—
Perfectly identical.
It felt like fighting a reflection.
Frustration.
Anger.
Madness.
Meanwhile—
The other Urashiki laughed freely.
After all…
He still loved chaos.
