Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Back on his home planet, Otsutsuki, Isshiki was a top student among his peers. He was not only proficient in using the various abilities of the Otsutsuki clan, but also earned the title of Advanced Divine Tree Cultivator through his outstanding academic achievements.

But few Otsutsuki knew that he was secretly studying alchemy as well, and his alchemy skills were superb.

At that moment, Cixian raised his hand towards Number Seven, who was still lying in the crater created by the shipbreaker, and a crimson aura instantly enveloped him.

"Hmm"

Sensing a strong sense of crisis, Number Seven's eyes widened, but unfortunately, his self-healing ability was limited, and his fatal wound had not yet healed. He could only watch helplessly as the red aura enveloped him.

"what!"

The next second, a searing sensation from the depths of his soul erupted forth. Number Seven screamed in agony, realizing with horror that his body was disintegrating at a visible rate.

"Um?"

Seeing this unbelievable scene, Uchiha, who was kneeling on one knee, frowned. Even though he had never seen such a bizarre method before, he could guess that Jigen was building up a buff for the upcoming battle.

"Don't even think about it!"

He forced himself to sit up, raised the menacing shipbreaker again, and leaped into the air. The massive warhammer roared as it smashed down on Cixian, who was concentrating on refining elixirs.

"Tsk!"

Sensing the overwhelming pressure from Madara Uchiha, Jigen clicked his tongue inwardly, a black glint flashing in his eyes once more.

However, this time, he did not use Sukuna Bikuna's ability to shrink himself to evade.

"It's really not very elegant to just run away from things."

Cixian shook his head slightly, and his pupils contracted.

"Mahakala".

Mid-air, Madara Uchiha's mind went on high alert. Goosebumps instantly covered his body. Sensing the unknown threat, he forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, dodging the invisible eye technique attack.

"despair!"

Unaware that he had narrowly escaped death, Madara Uchiha landed about ten meters away from Jigen, looking around with a puzzled expression in his crimson eyes.

Why hasn't anything happened?

Am I being too sensitive?

You're just scaring yourself.

When Jigen saw that Madara Uchiha had broken free of his eye jutsu's lock, a look of regret appeared on his face. He hadn't expected this human to be so alert.

"Ah!~ Ahh!"

However, this unexpected turn of events led to Cixian completing the refining process. Number Seven, shrouded in red light in the distance, let out a scream and vanished completely from this world.

In Cixian's hand, there was now a pill emanating a profound aura.

Number One and Number Eight, standing to the side, felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the red pill. Hao Houmi, who had just been sitting at the same table with them, was now being grabbed by Ci Xian and refined in an instant.

The two exchanged a wary glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.

If Jigen still can't defeat Uchiha Madara, then one of them might be the next to be refined, or they might be eaten in one pot; no one can escape it.

"Good quality."

Ci Xian examined the pill in his hand, which contained the power of the Seventh Origin, a look of astonishment appearing on his face. This pill was rather potent.

Unexpectedly, after absorbing the power of the tailed beasts and advancing, the clone's life level was able to reach the threshold of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki clan.

"boom!"

At this moment, Madara Uchiha disregarded the unknown threat. He wielded the Shipbreaker with ferocious power, smashing it head-on towards Jigen's frail body. The air pressure generated by the falling hammer billowed Jigen's wide monk's robe high.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and Madara Uchiha, gripping his giant hammer, felt a surge of joy. He could clearly feel that his attack had not missed.

The rules for victory have been established.

"Crunch~ Crunch~"

Suddenly, a slight sound reached Madara Uchiha's ears. He was immediately surprised to find that his giant hammer was being pushed upwards by a terrifying force.

Upon closer inspection, Cixian, who should have died under his hammer, was completely unharmed, holding one hand aloft. The pill he had been holding was gone, but judging from the way he was swallowing, it wasn't hard to guess where it had gone.

"Glug~"

"What a delicious power."

Enjoying the surging energy within him, Cixian half-closed his eyes, and the black lines on his face slowly disappeared.

Madara Uchiha frowned, a growing sense of crisis gripping him for some reason. He immediately channeled all his power into his arms, attempting to end the match.

"Humans, you should feel honored."

However, no matter how hard Madara Uchiha tried, the shipbreaker remained completely still. Moreover, Jigen's slightly pleased voice reached his ears word for word.

"You are the first human on this planet worthy of me using this posture."

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Madara Uchiha, along with the shipbreaker in his hand, were all thrown back by an unknown force.

"Thump!"

After performing several backflips in the air to dissipate the force, he landed steadily on the ground. When he looked up, his scarlet eyes were filled with horror.

"Who exactly are you?"

Looking at the enemy whose appearance had drastically changed not far away, Madara Uchiha stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This kind of attitude can no longer be called human, can it?

Before him, Cixian, who had just looked somewhat human, now had a form that completely transcended the realm of humanity.

Its skin was so pale it looked like it was covered in latex paint. It had a long, curved horn on the back of its head, like a crown, and only one eyebrow on its forehead, above its right eye.

Below that was a strange pupil unlike anything Madara Uchiha had ever heard of, with a golden, wheel-shaped pattern and eight triangles surrounding it.

As for the other one, he was quite familiar with it; it was a useless, weakling with a disdainful look.

Having reverted to his Otsutsuki form, Ichishiki elegantly adjusted his long-sleeved tailcoat. His two strikingly different pupils emanated a powerful, oppressive aura, making Madara Uchiha momentarily breathless.

"I'm not human, I'm Kamida!"

This is the first time Isshiki has appeared in its true form since being ambushed and nearly killed by Kaguya.

The chakra pills made from the clones were incredibly potent, forcibly releasing Jigen's substandard weapon within a short period, allowing Isshiki to experience his former glory.

Feeling the surge of power within him, even though he knew it was only temporary, he still couldn't contain his excitement.

"Playing tricks!"

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his hands, and once again lifted the massive, heavy shipbreaker in front of him.

Even though his Sharingan warned him that his enemy was incredibly strong, Madara Uchiha's pride and belligerence, ingrained in his very bones, fueled his fighting spirit.

"Hehehe, I never thought there would be such an interesting opponent in this world besides Hasi Hot Mom and that man."

Licking his dry lips, Madara Uchiha's mind flashed with Hashirama Senju's憨厚 smile and the dashing figure of the mysterious Decade Knight, and his eyes blazed with crimson light.

"Under the gaze of these eyes, you have not lost your fighting spirit. You are worthy of the noble blood flowing in your veins."

Looking at the spirited Madara Uchiha, Isshiki's face showed a faint hint of admiration.

Although he had an irreconcilable feud with Kaguya, that woman was ultimately from the same clan as him, and the Uchiha Madara before him was a descendant of Kaguya, which, in a sense, was equivalent to his own descendant.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Hearing Ichishiki's inexplicable words, Madara Uchiha curled his lip, his body erupting with dense blue chakra. He then leaped forward, transforming into a streak of blue lightning as he charged towards the gratified Ichishiki.

The menacing shipbreaker in his hand was now covered with a thick layer of transparent blue spikes, making its already terrifying size even more exaggerated.

"Armored Shipbreaker!"

The massive, mountain-sized shipwreck crashed down, and a faint smile appeared on Ichishiki's lips. A glint of light flashed in his right eye, and he vanished instantly.

"Boom!"

After the earth shook violently, Madara Uchiha's expression remained grave. He had witnessed the entire process of the opponent's disappearance, and even now, he still couldn't guess how the opponent had vanished.

In a moment of stunned silence, Madara Uchiha suddenly felt a chill on his cheek. Looking down, he saw a familiar black rod pressed against his shoulder.

Behind him, a figure floated in mid-air, a hint of mockery in its eyes.

"boom!"

Feeling that he had been tricked, Madara Uchiha suddenly twisted his body, and the Shipbreaker in his hand smashed horizontally behind him with overwhelming force.

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, the opponent did not disappear this time. Instead, it raised its black rod to block the shipbreaker. With a clang of metal, the giant hammer encasing Susanoo was steadily stopped by the thin black rod.

"Boom~"

Moreover, Susanoo, which was touted as having the strongest defense, began to disintegrate at a visible speed the moment it came into contact with the black rods.

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted. Has Susanoo's prestige dropped so low now? Anyone can poke at it, even the most insignificant Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Otherwise, the blue plastic bag wouldn't be called that for nothing!

"Bang!"

Once Susanoo was completely destroyed by the black rods, Madara Uchiha decisively retreated, but Isshiki clearly didn't want to play the cat-and-mouse game anymore.

With a single raised hand, countless black rods materialized out of thin air; with a gentle wave, they rained down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Madara Uchiha quickly raised the shipbreaker in front of him to defend against the black rod attack that could easily break through Susanoo's defenses, while calculating how to deal with the next move.

"boom!"

Just as he was pondering, a dark shadow suddenly appeared above his head. Uchiha Madara peeked out in confusion, only to find that a huge black cube was now suspended above his head.

"What the hell?"

He had no idea when the black cube appeared; his Sharingan could only see the chakra flowing on its surface.

After a brief moment of surprise, he saw the cube plummeting rapidly and instinctively raised the shipbreaker to block it.

"Bang!"

The moment the two made contact, Madara Uchiha's expression changed drastically. The weight of the black cube far exceeded his expectations; if he were to fight it head-on, he would inevitably be the one pinned to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

So he raised one hand and used the teleportation technique he hadn't used in a long time. In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared dozens of meters away, his hands gripping the shipbreaker trembling slightly.

However, something even more surprising happened: the rather large black cube vanished into thin air.

"ha?"

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and the black cube was indeed nowhere to be seen. Faced with this unknown method, Madara Uchiha's sense of crisis surged.

"That was just an appetizer."

One move floated in mid-air, the yellow crosshair landing on the Shipbreaker tightly gripped in Uchiha Madara's hand.

He could tell that Madara Uchiha's ability to transform into his current forest fairy form was most likely due to this strange weapon.

"His childhood name was Biguna."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the power within his black eyes was instantly unleashed. He intended to destroy the weapon in one fell swoop, completely exposing Madara Uchiha's true form.

"."

Just as Isshiki was lost in his fantasy, he saw Madara Uchiha suddenly freeze. He blinked in bewilderment for a few seconds, then tentatively leaped forward, slamming the Shipbreaker in his hand hard into Isshiki's face.

"Snapped!"

Even with the shipbreaker pressed against his face, Isshiki still firmly believed that his abilities wouldn't fail him.

But harsh reality told him that the young Bikona, who had never had any problems before,

failed.

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, he was struck by the Shipbreaker's close-range attack and sent flying by Madara Uchiha, whose power was increased sixfold. He transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

"Huh? It wasn't a trap after all?"

Watching the technique transform into a shooting star, Madara Uchiha looked at his hands in confusion. He had initially thought that the reason his opponent had lowered their guard was because they had set a trap for him.

I never expected Yishi to be so straightforward; he really wants to perform a scene where he catches a big hammer with his small face.

A moment later, Isshiki, his face dark, emerged from a dark red portal that appeared out of nowhere. Several small, healing holes remained on his face.

"Where did you get that hammer?"

This was the first time he had truly confronted the shipbreaker. He had initially thought that this hammer was merely a rudimentary technological achievement of humankind, and would surely be rendered useless by the immense power of the Otsutsuki clan.

However, reality slapped him in the face; his prized eye technique couldn't shrink the hammer, which made him quite curious about the shipbreaker.

A weapon that can even make one immune to divine magic—once I get my hands on it, I'll be able to walk around like a madman back in my hometown!

My cousin gave it to me for my birthday.

Madara Uchiha hadn't expected Isshiki to ask about the origins of the shipbreaker, so he instinctively gave the correct answer.

"Birthday? My cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Isshiki frowned. He had assumed that such an awesome weapon must be a divine artifact left behind by some ancient powerful being, but it turned out to be a birthday gift that Madara Uchiha received.

It was a gift from my cousin, which sounds incredibly cheap, doesn't it?

"Never mind, I'll study it slowly after I get it."

Glancing at Madara Uchiha's sincere face, Isshiki temporarily believed that the other party wasn't playing him. He gently shook his head, and a serious expression returned to his now recovered face.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished once again.

Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted, and he instinctively assumed a defensive stance, his crimson eyes darting around rapidly, searching for Isshiki's whereabouts.

"Pfft!"

The next second, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him, the black rod in its hand easily piercing through the muscular body, and crimson blood splattered instantly.

"That shouldn't be the case. How come the flaw in your back is so obvious?" (End of Chapter)
