In the Pure Land, the First, Second and Fourth Hokage watched in astonishment as a new figure appeared beside them, a giant green title glowing above his head reading "Go Home and Get Your Brain Checked." Hashirama Senju's eyes widened.
Hashirama Senju"How cool! I want one too!"
But Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze twitched in distress. Thank goodness they'd stopped Hashirama from choosing A earlier or he'd be standing next to someone labeled "Go Home and Get Your Brain Checked" all day long a terrifying shadow indeed.
Video footage:
Ōnoki's question had created a very awkward pause. Then the Masked Man rose to his feet.
Masked Man"Next time we meet will be on the battlefield."
A portal opened beneath him, and in a flash he vanished. The Five Kage stared at the empty spot and turned to one another.
Hashirama Senju"So what do we do next?"
Ōnoki asked for opinions. Surprisingly, Gaara spoke first.
Gaara"We must form a Ninja Allied Force."
Mifune, representing the Land of Iron, agreed"The world's first Allied Force is forming right here."
Hashirama Senju"Then who leads this Allied Force? Even I and the other Kage were once spurned by Danzo!"
Mifune silently drew his blade and resheathed it,"I believe Lord Darui is the best choice."
Hashirama Senju glanced at Darui and Mei Terumi."Do the Fourth and Fifth Shadows disagree?"
Mei Terumi"I trust Lord Darui."
Darui nodded"Then the Allied Force command is mine."
Darui addressed Ōnoki,"Ōnoki, you've faced Madara. Please share any useful intel."
Ōnoki replied"Understood, I will."

SystemNew question"Did the Raikage ever actually clash with Uchiha Madara?"A YesB NoC They clashed but not fully
System"Correct answer wins one Dust Release World Removal Technique trial card ×1. Wrong answer, unknown penalty!"System"Begins in one minute!"
Sunagakure fell silent. They realized Gaara was truly standing among them. After the Fourth Kazekage's death, Gaara's return had changed him: no longer bloodthirsty, sometimes even smiling things the young Gaara would never have done. A father's smile? Could he truly become Kazekage?
Without Chiyo's stewardship, Sunagakure would have plunged into chaos. Thankfully Gaara remained, a living tailed–beast weapon, a deterrent to invasion. That is how he was recognized as Kazekage.
Danzo Shimura"My dear student, when did you ever clash with Madara?"
Hashirama Senju"Um… teach, let me explain!"
Fourth Raikage Darui"Wait, you never fought Madara?"
Mei Terumi"Then what did that clip show?"
Tsunade"I want to know one thing: am I dead or kidnapped?"
SystemDanzo Shimura successful"Yes or No question? Let's hear your answer!"
Danzo Shimura"That's obviously B. The truth is… Ōnoki was showing off!"
SystemDanzo's answer is BSystemIncorrect penalty: lose 5% chakra reserves!
Danzo Shimura"That's impossible!"
SystemDanzo againA
SystemDanzo's answer is ASystemIncorrect penalty: lose 10% chakra reserves!
Danzo Shimura"I'll again!"
Hashirama Senju successful"Umm… First Hokage?"
Hashirama Senju"… I said it by mistake, believe me!"
The entire shinobi world was stunned. World Removal Technique is powerful. Danzo had tried three times, surely he deserved the trial card!
But Hashirama Senju stole the win.
Danzo Shimura wept"I had it almost in hand…"
Tobirama Senju"You are foolish. When faced with three long and one short, you pick short. With three short and one long, you pick long. Miss one option and you're lost idiot!"
Hashirama Senju chuckled"I've wanted to test World Removal… slicing technique at last! I choose C!"
Ōnoki protested"First Hokage, that's World Removal Technique molecular‐level disintegration!"
Hashirama Senju"Oh, right! I know it now Removal Cutting Technique!"
Ōnoki spat"Glass cutting of matter!"
Itachi Uchiha sighed"I wasn't even worried, but you use whatever name you like!"
SystemHashirama Senju's answer is CSystemCorrect reward: Dust Release World Removal Technique trial card ×1
Tobirama Senju covered his face of course his brother was only curious. As the sole shinobi able to surpass kekkei genkai, he wasn't concerned with power but with how the technique worked. Molecular–level cutting? Amazing!
Tobirama Senju"I'm more curious about what 'clashed but not fully' in option C meant."
Madara Uchiha"Do you really need to ask? How much strength could we show when forced?"
Hashirama Senju"I guess it would force your sharingan out, which is impressive."
Mifune, eyebrows raised,"I suddenly recall a scene…"
SystemPlaying 'Ōnoki's First Meeting with Uchiha Madara'
Mifune"Ugh, I knew it! Damn, Ōnoki you have to show off? Now I'm the one embarrassed!"
Everyone was baffled that had the Second Tsuchikage done? Suddenly flare up? Mifune nearly cried if memory served, the first time he met Madara…
