Multiversal Wanderer: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 63: Joining Forces to Fight Kinshiki

"Tobirama, this guy's size is kind of overkill," Hashirama said, glancing at the towering figure of Kinshiki. Despite the pressure in the air, he still found time to crack a joke.

Kinshiki stood imposingly in his stark white robe, making him hard to miss.

"It's obvious he's not just some nobody. Hashirama, go all out. The bus has left the station. Hahaha!"

Madara burst into laughter. Of course he did—wild, almost unhinged laughter was practically an Uchiha tradition.

"Brother, let me go first!" Tobirama called out.

He tossed a Flying Thunder God Kunai and instantly teleported behind Kinshiki. Just as he was about to stab his target, a violent blow landed in his gut. Blood sprayed from Tobirama's mouth as he used another Flying Thunder God mark to escape.

"Brother, Madara, be careful! I messed up... This guy's no joke. He's terrifyingly strong."

Hashirama and Madara instantly shifted into battle mode. Tobirama getting wrecked that fast was no small deal.

"You're just an insect," Kinshiki said coldly, stepping forward. "But to think you can manipulate space-time ninjutsu... Impressive—for an insect. Still, you're nothing before your master, Otsutsuki Kinshiki."

Madara's eyes narrowed. The chakra felt familiar. Then it clicked.

Otsutsuki...

Su Xiuyu had mentioned them before, back when they were younger.

"Hashirama, be careful. The entire Hagoromo clan was wiped out by this guy."

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Madara had spent decades honing his skills, especially in chakra nature transformation and Yin-Yang Release. His fire techniques were damn near unrivaled.

But Kinshiki didn't even flinch.

He raised a hand and absorbed the incoming flames like it was nothing.

"If that's all you've got, you won't last long. Struggle while you can, insects!"

"God Chaser!"

With a crack of purple lightning, Kinshiki rocketed forward like a living missile, aiming straight for Hashirama and Madara.

"Susanoo!"

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

In a flash, Madara's Susanoo and Hashirama's massive forest erupted from the ground. Hashirama stood on Susanoo's shoulder, watching as Kinshiki's charge cracked the outer shell.

"Madara, damn—he broke your Susanoo in one hit!"

"That was just the basic form. Relax."

Kinshiki's strike had failed to do major damage, but the forest around him quickly wrapped to trap him.

"Wave God!"

A red ring flared behind Kinshiki as two enormous battle axes materialized in his hands. With one sweep, he cleaved through the surrounding trees like weeds.

"Looks like your Wood Release isn't cutting it either," Madara taunted as trees crashed to the ground.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Once again, Kinshiki absorbed the fire before it even touched him.

"Hmph. So ninjutsu's off the table. It'll all get absorbed before impact," Madara said, brows furrowed.

Hashirama nodded. "We're going to have to beat him the old-fashioned way."

"Here he comes! Stay sharp!"

"God Chaser!"

Kinshiki burst through the forest, slamming into Susanoo with devastating force. The impact shattered the basic Susanoo, sending debris flying. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Madara hit the trees hard, while Hashirama was knocked to the ground by another strike. He staggered upright, blood running down his face—but his wounds were already healing.

"Oh? A Sage Body. Your regeneration's impressive," Kinshiki said.

Madara climbed to his feet a short distance away. His injuries were minimal compared to Hashirama's. Thanks to the chakra fruit gifted by Su Xiuyu, Madara's body had evolved—now even tougher than a Sage Body.

Not that Madara cared much for that detail.

Most who'd shared the chakra fruit didn't even realize its true value—not just chakra and lifespan boosts, but a deeper evolution.

"You alright, Hashirama?"

"I'll live. But this guy's a freak."

Before he could finish, Kinshiki blurred into lightning again.

"God Chaser!"

Madara and Hashirama weaved through the attacks, adjusting to his blitz-like speed. Eventually, they started holding their own, blow for blow.

"You damn insects! Just surrender!" Kinshiki snarled. He was clearly getting frustrated at how hard these two were fighting back.

Then came the big guns.

"Wave God!"

Two new, oversized weapons formed in his hands as Kinshiki blinked in and out of space, darting around like he was using a twisted version of Flying Thunder God.

If it weren't Madara and Hashirama, anyone else would've been dead already.

"Shit! I got nailed again!" Hashirama shouted, gritting his teeth. "God, that hurts!"

"You've gotten real chatty since the last time we met," Madara replied dryly.

"That's what friends do. This guy, though? He's a real enemy."

"Enough with the talking, Hashirama! Go all in!"

"Wood Release: Wood Golem Jutsu!"

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"

"Complete Body Susanoo!"

Madara's full-body Susanoo erupted from the earth, towering like a damn mountain. Compared to it, the Wood Golem looked puny—barely the size of Susanoo's ankle.

"Wait, what?! Since when is your Susanoo that huge? It used to be the same size as my golem!"

Hashirama stared in disbelief, feeling a little betrayed.

Madara frowned. "Really? You're asking that now?"

Before Hashirama could answer, Susanoo raised its blade and brought it down on Kinshiki.

A direct hit.

"Did we get him?"

Madara's eyes widened. "No! Something's wrong!"

His Mangekyo zeroed in—Kinshiki was totally unharmed. Not even a scratch.

"Hashirama! It's space-time ninjutsu! The attack didn't land on his actual body!"

"Tenyu Hayao!"

Red weapons materialized behind Kinshiki and launched like missiles, pinning the Wood Dragon and Golem into the ground.

"Massive Blade Sweep!"

With a spinning slash from his huge naginata, Kinshiki unleashed a monstrous wave of energy. The wooden constructs exploded on impact, crumbling to splinters.

Madara's Susanoo raised its sword to block, absorbing the brunt of the blow.

-----------------

"Were the Wooden Golem and the Wooden Dragon destroyed instantly?" Hashirama frowned in disbelief. He didn't expect his signature techniques to be taken down that quickly.

"Madara, are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me? Worry about yourself," Madara replied coolly. "Your wooden golem and dragon just got wiped out."

"Tch, these two inferior races have been fighting for too long. Looks like we'll have to take them down one at a time."

Otsutsuki Kinshiki surged forward, using his Divine Chaser to target Hashirama directly. Even under Madara's pressure, Kinshiki seemed determined to close the distance between them. Hashirama noticed this odd focus and kept his guard up, dodging rather than charging in recklessly.

"Divine Chaser!"

"Crush!"

Kinshiki slammed chakra into the ground with terrifying force. The impact tore up the terrain within a kilometer, making it look like an earthquake had hit. Seizing the moment Hashirama lost his footing, Kinshiki activated his intangibility and instantly dragged Hashirama into another dimension.

The once chaotic battlefield suddenly fell silent.

"Hashirama!"

"Hashirama!"

Madara's voice echoed, but no reply came. Both Hashirama and Kinshiki had vanished.

"Damn it... space-time ninjutsu again?" Madara clenched his fists. He had no effective way to deal with space manipulation, and clearly, Kinshiki was trying to separate and defeat them one by one.

"Tobirama!"

Tobirama had purposely kept some distance to avoid dragging down his brother and Madara. Unfortunately, that gave Kinshiki the perfect opening to isolate Hashirama.

"Can you use Flying Thunder God to follow him?"

"Not yet. I need time to feel the residual spatial fluctuations here." Tobirama's tone was serious. He understood that Kinshiki's plan was to pick them off individually, and without a trace of hesitation, he started scanning the area for dimensional signatures.

Madara's expression tightened. "Do it fast. I'm counting on you."

He deactivated his full-body Susanoo but kept the skeletal form up as a basic defense, standing still like a statue.

Whether or not they could survive this now depended entirely on Hashirama and Tobirama.

In the Alternate Dimension—

"So, you're the descendant of Asura? Without Indra's heir backing you up, just give up and die already!" Kinshiki's voice carried a cruel edge as he revealed his intent.

Hashirama narrowed his eyes. He wanted to ask what "Asura" and "Indra" meant, but there was no way Kinshiki would just tell him. Right now, the only option was to go all out.

"Sage Art: Wood Release – Birth of a World of Trees!"

Hashirama's hands came together in a seal, activating Sage Mode. With nature chakra flooding his body, his Wood Release exploded in scale—dozens of times more powerful than usual.

"Hmph." Kinshiki used his massive sword to slice down the growing forest, but this time, he could feel the trees were tougher—much more resilient.

"Sage Art: Wood Release – All Encompassing Grasp!"

Massive wooden arms surged from the ground in every direction, swinging at Kinshiki. But his Wave God technique allowed him to endlessly summon weapons that tore through the forest hands. He kept slipping past defenses with Divine Chaser and Hollow Form, landing heavy blows whenever he got close.

Hashirama's power had reached its peak over the years. But no matter how overwhelming his ninjutsu was, Kinshiki's space-time mastery was a perfect counter. Though Hashirama could heal rapidly, as long as he couldn't land a solid blow, Kinshiki remained a dangerous threat.

Fortunately, Hashirama had insane stamina and chakra, but Kinshiki—being pure-blooded Otsutsuki—was no slouch either.

"Sage Art: Wood Release – True Thousand Hands!"

Hashirama summoned his ultimate technique. A massive Buddha-like construct rose, towering higher than mountains, arms layered upon arms, fists raised to crush his opponent.

"Damn Asura descendants... such a pain!" Kinshiki gritted his teeth. With Hollow Form and Divine Chaser, he darted through the battlefield at high speed, still managing to dodge and counter. Despite his efforts, he couldn't bring Hashirama down.

Both were badly injured. Kinshiki had been almost flattened by the Buddha's palm. Hashirama's body was a mess from repeated strikes, but Sage Mode's recovery made it seem like he was barely hurt. His armor, though, was long gone—torn to shreds in the chaos.

They'd been fighting in this alternate dimension for three straight days.

Meanwhile, in the Ninja World...

---

"Tobirama! You good or what? At this rate, by the time you find the damn entrance, Hashirama might already be a corpse!" Madara snapped. Despite his usual cold demeanor, his concern for Hashirama was just as real as Tobirama's.

"I said don't rush me! I'm almost there!" Tobirama gritted his teeth.

Finally—

"I found it! Put your hand on my shoulder!"

Madara didn't hesitate. The moment he touched Tobirama, the scenery around him changed. They had entered the alternate dimension.

"Damn, he's over there—dozens of kilometers away!" Madara spotted the towering Buddha in the distance.

"Susanoo! Tobirama, get on!"

Madara summoned his complete Susanoo, wings flaring as it shot into the sky with Tobirama on its shoulder.

"Madara, why is your Susanoo so damn huge now?"

"Complete form's just bigger, that's all. Depends on the user's chakra and ability." Madara wasn't bothered by the question. Even if Tobirama turned on him, what was he gonna do? Stab Susanoo with a kunai?

"We're close. Brace yourself!" Susanoo plummeted toward the battlefield like a meteor.

"Hashirama!" Madara shouted as the Susanoo landed with a colossal crash, shaking the entire dimension.

"Madara! Tobirama!" Hashirama's face lit up with joy. His upper body was bare now—his armor completely destroyed.

"Tch..." Kinshiki scowled, bloodied and exhausted. He had to admit it: he failed. Not only did he fail to kill Hashirama, but the other Indra descendant had somehow made it into the dimension too.

"Let's finish this, Hashirama!" Madara grinned. "First time I've seen you look like a mess... and the first time we're teaming up to take down such a pain in the ass."

Hashirama nodded. No words needed. They both understood.

"Sage Art: Wood Release – Avatar of the Divine Buddha!"

"Susanoo!"

Madara's Susanoo fused with Hashirama's Buddha, forming a terrifyingly powerful warrior. The armor latched onto the wooden titan, amplifying its strength exponentially.

"Perfect Susanoo Fusion!"

"Tobirama, back off!" Madara barked.

Tobirama didn't want to miss the legendary combo of Hashirama and Madara fighting together, but the overwhelming chakra and raw power made him realize something.

This alternate dimension might not survive what's coming.

Without a word, Tobirama vanished, teleporting himself back to the Ninja World using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
