Chapter 160

He finally realized it.

The fate of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon and the Hyūga clan on Earth was likely very similar.

The teleportation array on the moon also appeared to have not been used in a very long time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have deteriorated to this state.

The reason the Hyūga clan on Earth could no longer use their clan's teleportation array was

because, after so many years,

the Hyūga clan's bloodline had grown increasingly diluted,

and their own strength had also weakened considerably,

so they lacked the ability to reactivate the teleportation array.

But the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon—

their ancestor, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, had come here together with them,

so how could they have declined to the same level as the Hyūga clan on Earth??

Moreover, those Ōtsutsuki who had come to the moon

originally possessed a purer bloodline than the Hyūga clan on Earth,

yet looking at their current state,

it seemed they too had not activated the teleportation array in a long time,

so,

not only had the teleportation gate on Earth remained unopened,

but the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon had also never opened it again!!

"It seems the Sage of Six Paths was right after all—the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon has undergone some unknown changes…"

After sensing the complete absence of any life around him,

Hashirama Senju frowned.

Aside from the terrifying sealed entity beneath his feet,

he had not sensed the presence of a single living being so far.

Had the entire Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon perished?

This thought arose involuntarily in his mind.

And at that moment,

Hashirama Senju's pupils sharply contracted, as if he had discovered something profoundly terrifying.

Not far ahead of them,

a massive purple stone covered in strange patterns was continuously emitting an extremely powerful energy.

The sensation this energy gave him

was even stronger than the Sage of Six Paths he had seen in his dream!!!

If this energy struck him,

he would surely suffer grave injuries immediately!!

"On top of it… there's someone? …"

At that moment,

Hyūga Hanazuki quietly tugged at his sleeve,

pointing toward the top of the stone.

Hashirama Senju followed the direction of her finger and looked upward,

only then realizing there was someone atop the stone!!!

He strained his gaze forward,

and finally saw what the person looked like.

Dressed in a long robe, with a handsome face,

his pupils were entirely white.

Wasn't that the Hyūga clan's Byakugan??

Yet after carefully sensing the man's aura,

Hashirama Senju realized,

that the man's power was no less than Madara Uchiha's.

But what was most terrifying was the stone beneath his feet.

Hashirama Senju had a premonition

that if he were struck by the energy radiating from that stone,

he would immediately lose all combat capability!!!

【Jiraiya: It seems our initial assessment was correct—the entities on the moon are not to be underestimated…】

【Orochimaru: Indeed, no one could have imagined the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon was this terrifying… Both clans use the Byakugan, yet their presence feels utterly different from the Hyūga clan on Earth—even the First Hokage must treat this man with extreme caution…】

【Raikage: Actually, the First Hokage isn't afraid of the man—he seems to fear the immense energy radiating from the stone beneath him; even I, watching from the screen, can feel how terrifying it is…】

【Onoki: If it were only the man's presence, the First Hokage wouldn't be this wary. The key is that the very first person they encountered on the moon possesses such terrifying power, and combined with that stone emitting strange energy, who knows how strong the Ōtsutsuki on this planet truly are?】

【Minato Namikaze: But it's also very strange—haven't you noticed? After all these years, the moon seems to have developed no civilization at all—it's still as desolate and ruined as ever, completely unlike our world…】

【Tobirama Senju: Though they are direct descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, no one knows how these people on this planet have changed over the centuries… or what their attitude toward our world might be.】

【Shikamaru: The best course is to capture one of the people on the moon and question them… That might reveal the truth from their mouths!! This is the fastest method!!】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo!! You're going too far!! If you proceed with your plan, it could trigger a war between the two worlds!!】

While Hashirama Senju was still pondering whether the person on the moon was friend or foe,

He seemed to have detected the presence of Hashirama Senju and the other.

His expression suddenly changed,

Utterly astonished by their appearance!!!

He clenched his teeth,

Leapt into the air and charged toward Hashirama Senju and the other!!

He opened his palm,

A purple energy sphere appeared in his hand,

Slammed straight at Hashirama Senju!!

"¨」 Ignorant masses of a wrong world……"

"How dare you come to our world!!"

Seeing this, Hashirama Senju

Could not suppress a surge of rage on his face!!

He had not expected,

That upon arriving on this planet,

He had done absolutely nothing!!

Yet someone immediately launched an attack against him!!

And from the words coming from this man's mouth,

Hashirama Senju understood!!!

He had recognized their origins—Hashirama Senju and Hyūga Hanazuki!

He knew they came from the ninja world!!

Even so,

He still attacked the two of them,

Which made Hashirama Senju realize,

This man was an enemy, not a friend!!

He was certainly an enemy!!

Facing an enemy,

Hashirama Senju would never hold back!!

He opened his palm,
