[First Hokage] Senju Hashirama:
"Haha~! I knew that once newcomers joined, this chat group would unlock new functions!"
[First Hokage] Madara:
"Hehe~! Hashirama, it seems I'll surpass you soon and become the second most powerful in this chat group!"
[Second Hokage] Senju Tobirama: "Madara is dreaming again? But this daily reward function is great! Another way to earn free points."
[Fourth Hokage] Namikaze Minato: "I think the most powerful function is this Tower. As long as you pass the levels, you get rewards. I checked—just the first level gives an A-rank jutsu!"
[Sixth Hokage] Hatake Kakashi:
"A-rank? Wouldn't the second-level rewards be even better?"
[Fourth Hokage] Hatake Sakumo: "The most important thing is that this Tower seems to have no upper limit. At least, I see 0/∞!"
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "This fighting arena is interesting. @Madara @Hashirama, do you two want to fight and give us a show?"
[Third Hokage] Shimura Danzō:
"Oh~! A duel between two First Hokages?"
[Fourth Hokage] Orochimaru:
"Wood release from one First Hokage, and... Mangekyo Sharingan from the other! Truly exciting!"
[First Hokage] Hashirama:
"Haha~! My hands are itching. What do you say, Madara?"
[First Hokage] Madara:
"Hmph~! I welcome it!"
[Third Hokage] Sarutobi Hiruzen:
"This Battle arena allows gambling with points. How about adding a little wager?"
[First Hokage] Senju Hashirama: "I sent you an invitation, accept it, @Madara!"
[First Hokage] Madara: "You sound confident, Hashirama!"
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Haha~! Of course! I'm the second strongest in the group, and you're third!"
[First Hokage] Madara: "We'll see about that after the fight!"
...
"Does this chat group unlock three new functions every time? Or are there just more unlocks in the first few stages?"
Ryosuke pondered while quickly claiming his daily reward.
Ding~!
"Congratulations! You have received: Ichiraku Ramen 30% Off Coupon ×10!"
???
Ryosuke looked at the ten 30% off coupons in his hand and fell silent.
Was this good luck or bad luck?
As he debated, he noticed many members had already entered the battle arena to watch the battle.
Deciding not to dwell on it, he followed suit.
[Ryosuke enters the arena!]
[Orochimaru enters the arena!]
[…]
A barren Desert
Several rays of light descended, landing on a towering cliff.
"Father!"
Kakashi spotted a familiar figure among the crowd and instinctively walked over, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Kakashi, you made it!" Sakumo looked at his son with deep emotion.
Who would have thought?
In his world, Kakashi was still a child, yet here he was—an adult, standing before him in the chat group.
"Kakashi, are you married?" Sakumo suddenly asked.
The Kakashi in front of him was already 31 years old.
Naturally, as a father, he was curious—did his son in this parallel world have a family?
Was he already a grandfather?
"Ah… this…"
Kakashi immediately looked embarrassed.
"Sakumo-senpai, you're putting Kakashi on the spot."
As soon as Ryosuke entered, he overheard the conversation and chuckled as he walked over.
"Kakashi is a golden bachelor. If you want to be a grandpa, you'll have to work harder in your own world."
As Ryosuke spoke, he glanced at Kakashi.
Seeing him up close, Ryosuke was reminded—didn't Kakashi become Hokage after the Fourth Great Ninja War?
Because right now, Kakashi's face was intact—both eyes were normal, neither was a Sharingan.
This meant…
The war had ended.
The world had entered a new era of peace.
"Ah~! I see."
Sakumo sighed, looking at Kakashi with a hint of regret. Kakashi could only laugh awkwardly.
At that moment, Ryosuke turned his gaze to a pale-skinned man standing nearby.
"You look no different from the Orochimaru in my world."
Ryosuke commented.
"Ryosuke-kun, you're surprisingly young!" Orochimaru replied with a smile.
But his expression carried the usual eerie undertone.
After greeting one another, the group turned their attention to the two figures in the distance.
"It's about to begin!"
Everyone watched with anticipation.
Hashirama and Madara were among the top three strongest in the Hokage chat group.
One was quasi-Six Paths level.
The other was at invincible Super Kage-level.
Their strength was leagues above the others.
Aside from Tobirama and Kakashi, the rest were eager to witness the gap between themselves and these legendary figures.
"Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
"Madara!!"
"Hashirama!!"
From a distance—
The two warriors roared each other's names before charging in, launching a fierce taijutsu battle.
Ryosuke had never seen the two fight before. When he was born, both of them had already passed.
So he was particularly interested in this duel.
Though, in his eyes—
Both of them were still too weak.
"What incredible taijutsu! I can't even keep up!"
"Haha~! Danzō, do you really think you're on their level?"
"Is this the power of the First Hokages? Their sheer speed in taijutsu alone is overwhelming. I can't even imagine their full strength!"
"Haha~! Don't worry, my brother and Madara always fight like this. It never lasts long."
"Oh~! So, that's it."
Several people watching the battle were communicating with each other.
At this moment, the two fighters in the distance suddenly retreated from each other.
Then, one performed Fire release ninjutsu, and the other countered with Wood release.
After the taijutsu battle, it's time for ninjutsu.
And Madara's Fire release was clearly no match for Hashirama's Wood release.
After several exchanges, there was still no winner.
"Hashirama, I have to get serious!"
Madara shouted loudly and instantly activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Boom!!!
A purple giant rose from the ground.
"Wood release: Wood Golem Technique!"
"Wood release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
The enormous Wood Golem, entwined with the Wood Dragon, rushed toward the towering purple Susanoo with unstoppable force.
Boom!
Bang!!
Bang!!!
The impact of their battle shattered the surrounding earth.
Cracks spread for several kilometers, covering the battlefield.
Nearby hills were reduced to rubble.
The other Hokages watching the battle were both awed and excited.
While they marveled at the sheer power of the two First Hokages, they couldn't help but feel a rush of battle spirit.
Of course, it was just an impulse.
"Perfect Susanoo!"
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
Boom!!!!
The moment True Several Thousand Hands appeared, Madara's full-body Susanoo couldn't withstand it.
In this chat group, Madara didn't have the Nine Tails, so he couldn't unleash his full power. His strength was slightly weaker than usual.
Against Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands, he had no choice but to endure a beating.
Even so, Madara still managed to sever hundreds of giant arms and left several hundred-meter-long gashes on the massive entity.
And then—
The perfect Susanoo was completely destroyed.
"Hmph~! Hashirama, it's not over yet!"
A sharp glint flashed in Madara's eyes.
The next second—
He clapped his hands!
"Wood release: Wood Clone Technique!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Six Wood Clones appeared around Madara.
"Susanoo!"
Then, the six Wood Clones, along with the original Madara, activated full-body Susanoo once again.
Seven 800-meter-tall purple giants, taller than mountains, soared into the sky and charged at the towering wooden structure from multiple directions.
"Wood release?!"
Tobirama's eyes widened in surprise at Madara's mastery of Wood release and his face darkened.
"I thought it was over, but Madara still has a trump card."
Orochimaru smirked, a glint of intrigue flashing in his eyes.
Far away—
Seven full-body Susanoos clashed against Hashirama's statue.
Hashirama roared and unleashed full force, holding nothing back this time.
Boom!!
Boom!!!
The earth-shattering battle lasted for several minutes.
The seven full-body Susanoo were completely annihilated.
All that remained of the wooden statue was a pile of wreckage.
Madara and Hashirama exchanged hundreds more blows in close combat.
In the end, Madara lost to Hashirama. Defeated, he admitted his loss.
"Phew! He won!"
Tobirama let out a sigh of relief.
He had genuinely feared that his elder brother might lose to Madara.
If that happened, Madara's arrogance would be unbearable!
Fortunately, the chat group's battle rankings were accurate.
If it said second place was second place, it was absolute. There was no way he could lose to third place.
Unless, of course, the second place intentionally held back.
But someone as proud as Madara would never allow Hashirama to hold back against him.
For Madara, a true battle was the greatest sign of respect.
So even in defeat, Madara would only train harder to grow stronger.
To win next time!
Swish!
Several streaks of light flashed.
Everyone's consciousness projections disappeared from the battle arena.
[Fourth Hokage] Minato: "That was an incredible fight! After witnessing a battle between the two First Hokages, I truly understand the power of a true super Kage-level! Compared to them, I still have a long way to go."
[Sixth Hokage] Kakashi: "Even though I've seen Madara's power before, it's still shocking to witness it again!"
[Fourth Hokage] Sakumo: "Yeah! A battle between a super Kage-level and a quasi-Six Paths-level… Truly a legendary fight!"
[Third Hokage] Danzō: "The two First Hokages are certainly strong, but I'm actually more curious about Ryosuke's strength!"
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "Curious? Want to test it out in the arena?"
[Third Hokage] Danzō: "No, no, no! I wouldn't stand a chance against you, Ryosuke. I think I'll pass."
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Haha~! Madara really gave it his all!"
[First Hokage] Madara: "Hmph~! You only defeated me temporarily. When my Rinnegan awakens, defeating you will be effortless!"
[Second Hokage] Tobirama: "Madara, do you think you're the only one who can improve?"
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Eh? Speaking of strength, Ryosuke, I'm curious as well. How about a match in the arena?"
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "Are you sure?"
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Haha~! Of course! To be honest, I also want to experience the taste of failure like Madara."
[First Hokage] Madara: "Hashirama, you're such a menace!"
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "Alright then! I'll grant your wish. Let's fight in the arena—you can even choose the battlefield."
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Let's keep it the same! Come on!!"
