Shiroken tried to keep as much distance from Minoshiki as possible, already knowing that a physical fight was out of the options.

"There is no way to run, only death awaits you." ​​

"I love my life too much to give up so easily. Stop speaking and fight." Shiroken taunted him back.

*ZZZ*

Another portal appeared where Shiroken stood. It was very unnerving, he was trying his best to avoid falling into them.

He didn't have any need to make hand seals. He just needs to understand the basic structure of nature and the different combinations of elements. That would itself produce whatever he wanted, be it water, fire or air.

He ran at full speed, circling around Minoshiki. At the same time, he threw Fireballs at him to disrupt his vision.

~Wood Entrapment~ He used his natural energy to make the various left out roots in the ground grow at a fastened pace. They pierced off the ground and caught hold of Minoshiki, dragging him down in surprise.

*SLASH*

Minoshiki somehow grew his horn bigger and then snapped it with his hand, making it a sword for himself. He quickly cut the tree roots.

"Nothing will work on me, you have tried your best. Now it's my turn." Minoshiki scornfully said and raised his hand towards Shiroken.

Shiroken just noticed something different in Minoshiki's eyes. They didn't look like they did before, with enlarged white irises with no distinguished pupils. It now had a bluish texture with a blue pupil, around which lotus-pattern shining yellowish curved lines were present.

"AH!" The next moment Shiroken found his body being pulled towards Minoshiki's arm.

He quickly pulled a tree root from underground and grabbed it. But the next moment, a whole chunk of the ground started to chip off and get pulled.

No matter what Shiroken tried, he was getting pulled in. He tried countless attacks but nothing stopped it.

*BOOM*

From a different side, 7 black Bijuu-dama flew and hit Minoshiki. The blast was huge but it happened in the air this time as Minoshiki was flying. It was not as strong as Shiroken's attack, but it did manage to free him from the pull.

He landed on the ground and looked back. All the 7 bijuu and Monari were here. He looked at them angrily and nervously, "Why did you come here? Leave quickly, that Hashirama will be here soon, and if I am fighting this one, I can't stop Hashirama."

"Don't worry, we will help you stop them all," Saiken said resolutely.

"YES! WE ARE FAMILY!" Chomei landed near him.

Shiroken became silent. His heart was feeling warm but the sense of urgency grew even more. To his understanding, this Minoshiki is the most dangerous being right now. If he can't deal with him, it doesn't matter if Hashirama does anything or not.

"Okay then, let's beat him up first." He turned back to look at Minoshiki. As expected, he was not hurt much. Except throwing him around, Bijuu-dama does nothing.

"Have you seen those eyes before?" Shiroken asked the tailed beasts.

Gyuki looked at their enemy intently and remembered something, "I think I did see it. It's called T-Tenseigan. It grants improved strength and speed, along with the power to pull or push anything."

Now it became clear to Shiroken what had happened before. It was the ability of his eyes.

"Be careful, he can pull us towards him. No matter what you do, do not get caught in a physical brawl." He warned them.

Meanwhile, Minoshiki was looking at the tailed beast, as if they were some tasty food.

"I sense the God Tree in them, this planet is so amusing. I must bring my brothers here later to study it." He thought.

*WOOSH*

All of a sudden a stream of Lava fell on him, it came from Son Goku's mouth. Seeing so many opponents, Minoshiki decided to get close to them and beat them one by one.

He disappeared in an instant.

"BE CAREFUL! He can come out from anywhere." Shiroken warned.

"AAA..." Saiken was thrown into the air all of a sudden. Minoshiki appeared out of the ground underneath him.

Shiroken with a change of tactic, ran towards him, hoping that his Natural Chakra would mask him, to make it more confusing, he was constantly releasing the Natural Energy from his body and sending it to the trees around them.

All the tailed beasts took Minoshiki in a direct fight, punching, lava, air, water, fire... all kinds of attacks were being thrown at him.

Monari was a distance away, from there she activated her Mangekyo and sent the white energy beam attack, Unmei no Hikari (Translates to Light of doom).

*SWOOSH*

The white blinding beam flew at the speed of light and hit Minoshiki. It was strong enough to make Shiroken feel hot, so it should do some damage to him too.

*BANG*

Minoshiki tried to block it. It looked like he was going to deal with it easily too. Everyone looked at it nervously, hoping that there must be a way to harm him after all.

But, Shiroken didn't stop planning during this. He tried to slowly get behind Minoshiki, so he can perform one attack that might scare him at least.

...

Minoshiki had finally started to feel this concentrated white energy beam. He was feeling a slight ting of pain after so long.

"This is annoying." He clenched his teeth.

He was continuously being pushed backwards, while his arms now started to emit steam, showing that he was indeed getting damaged from this.

"What a waste," he muttered and once again used his teleportation power. This was a power that required a lot of energy, even for a being of his standard. He didn't want to use it so pointlessly right now but he had no choice.

But, just as he was about to cross over into the portal, out of nowhere a few wooden branches came out and grabbed him. These branches were not normal ones, they were much stronger.

"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique" A loud, mature voice resounded and a man came out of nowhere, in his red armour.

"Hashirama!" Shiroken, of course, recognised him, but to him, this was an even bigger headache.

"Haven't I seen you before? Oh, back at my village." Hashirama recognised Shiroken.

He also looked around at the various tailed beats, and then his heart skipped a beat, seeing Monari's eyes.

"M-Mange-kyo?"

The situation had gotten much messier in his mind. The beasts, the Uchiha, mysterious Shiroken whom he couldn't detect and also this teleporting humanoid demon.

"Ah, more and more pests keep on arriving. It's the same story in every world I go to. Futile... everything is futile..." Minoshiki raged madly. He hated being interrupted.

Monari's attack had already subsidised, she couldn't do it the whole time after all.

Minoshiki put his hand on the wood that had entrapped him. *WOOSH* It caught fire and then got blasted by a sudden attraction and repulsion force.

"Worlds? Where are you from?" Hashirama confusedly asked.

"Space, his species travel worlds and take away their life energy, destroying all life in return." Shiroken gave a short answer.

Hashirama's face twitched as soon as he heard that. If that was the case, this man was much more dangerous than any ninja war. But he still didn't grasp the danger this being possessed.

"He's right. But I am not interested in your world. All I want is this boy, and then I will leave. But if you try to come in between us, I will kill you right now." Minoshiki threatened.

Hashirama turned to look at the beasts, "I only came here to capture them."

"Then do it and leave," Minoshiki said, as this was advantageous to him. The less annoying beings around the more he could focus on Shiroken and see the secrets of his body.

But it enraged Shiroken, "HASHIRAMA! DON'T YOU DARE! If you even lay a finger on my family, I will make sure your bloodline ceases to exist."

"Family? Them? They are mindless beasts." Hashirama argued.

Gyuki spoke in a sad voice, "That's what you think about us? Even after so many centuries? Really, you humans are the worst of those living on this planet. We are beings with free will, and nobody has the right to catch or enslave us."

*BAM*

Minoshiki moved, he punched Hashirama and flew to Shiroken. The punch was destructive as he was thrown away like a ragdoll, getting heavily injured.

But Hashirama had a very quick Regeneration Ability. He slowly got up and looked at Minoshiki angrily. He activated his Sage mode as well, because of which black markings appeared on his face.

"Forgive me, but to protect my village and ensure peace, I must catch them." He resolutely muttered. It was clear now that if he survives to see tomorrow, he will catch the tailed beasts no matter what.

Hashirama had changed now, as said by Madara Uchiha in his last words. The current him lacked the warmth of a human and had a firm will to protect his village, no matter what, even if he had to kill his own friend... sibling or even his own child, he would do it. Catching the beasts was a small price to pay according to him.

He prepared himself to fight a three-way war now, with Minoshiki and Shiroken. However, as he was now in sage mode, he finally noticed something about Shiroken.

"God, he's entirely made of Natural Energy, his body has more concentration than the entire Shikkotsu Forest." He observed. Realising how big of a threat Shiroken was, so he acted.

Clenching his teeth, he made hand seals, "Wood Release: Wood-Dragon Technique"

*ROOOAR*

10 giant wooden dragons appeared. Each of them headed to a different target. One each for each tailed beast, one for Monari, one each for Shiroken and Minoshiki.

*BOOM* *BOOM* Each of them collided with their targets and exploded.

Clouds of dust rose there, but the sound of clashing fists was still heard.

*WOOSH*

All of a sudden two figures appeared out of smoke. Both of them were in the air.

*BAM*

"YOU WANT TO ENSLAVE MY FAMILY?! I WILL NEVER LET YOU!" Shiroken punched Hashirama one after another, damaging his face as eyes shined in demonic red colour like never before.

"BOOM*

But Minoshiki teleported above them and kicked both of them towards the ground. While falling, Shiroken sent a small Bijuu-dama and Hashirama sent exploding wooden balls, which would leave a sleeping gas.

*THUD*

The two fell to the ground. They were all looking at each other. The fight was very messy.

Hashirama looked behind, the tailed beasts were perfectly fine, even the girl was. But he now noticed another headache. Around the girl was now a giant ashen coloured armour.

He exclaimed, "SUSANOO!"

Seeing no quick way to end this fight, he brought his scroll in front of him and opened it, biting his thumb, he pressed on the paper.

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

*WOOSH*

Countless trees grew on the ground, and it was now shaking and roaring as the ground would explode. Shiroken felt a great amount of Natural Energy there, so he jumped a few steps back.

Then right in front of his eyes, all those trees assimilated, creating a Buddha with countless hands, bigger than any mountain he had seen in his life.

"FORGIVE ME! THIS IS FOR MY VILLAGE! FOR PEACE!" Hashirama emotionlessly said, receiving a glance from the angry red eyes of Shiroken.

__________________

[A/N: Hashirama is not evil. Ever since Madara's betrayal, he has become much warier. Before, he didn't have anything to fear, as Madara and he were in the village to protect it from hostile villages. But now, he sees the village as weak. And for his village, he's ready to do anything.

There should be a reason why he caught every single beast and surprisingly no beast ever told him about themselves. I mean, Gyuki would have probably tried to talk.

But, all of them were still caught, leading me to believe that Hashirama knew about the beasts being emotional sentient beings but still caught them anyway for PEACE.

Ah, one more thing, just to remind everyone that MC is an OC, not a transmigrator or reincarnator who has all the knowledge. Thank You.]

[Answer: Because Webnovel deletes comments these days, I couldn't reply to a good question someone asked. He asked me if MC was going to establish a village and be kind to Naruto.

No, he won't do that after what's happening right now, his goals will change a lot. He won't be satisfied with just a single village. Besides, he needs to deal with the whole world if he wants everyone to start treating his family like living beings instead of mindless monsters. He will remain a kind person but won't hesitate to kill people. He will only give people one chance to change, if they don't take it he will kill, no matter how liked that character is by everyone.

He won't join any Shinobi village. Instead, he'd be at odds with most of them. And about Naruto, well, Kurama will be taken from him whether he likes it or not. But, MC will be meeting Naruto when he will be a young child, there is no reason for Shiroken to be bad to him.

And as many of you have already guessed, tailed beasts will be caught. But not for long. Shiroken will immediately start getting them back, and as of writing the current Chapter on Patr-eon(Chapter 50) Shiroken has already gotten back 2 tailed beasts and will soon know the locations of every single one of them.]
