NABC What was he trying to tell himself in Chapter 46?
What was he trying to tell himself in Chapter 46?
"Hmm... indeed, upon closer inspection, this kid is probably Senju Butsuma's son. If that's the case, his value is indeed quite good."
Tianhuo suddenly realized that his third young master was so farsighted that he had already considered the future.
Since this was the Third Young Master's training, returning to the clan with such a good "trophy" at the end would certainly be considered a successful completion of the mission.
Tianhuo didn't think too much about it. Seeing the decisiveness and ruthlessness in the Third Young Master's eyes just now, Tianhuo was convinced.
"Alright, let's put this matter to rest. Tie him up and let the Third Young Master take him back to the clan."
Tianhuo casually gave a few instructions, and the group walked over to Banjian and subdued him.
Itama's eyes were now lifeless as he allowed the Uchiha men to remove all his weapons and armor and bind his hands behind his back.
He seemed to gradually understand Yan Yi's actions. After all, he had killed Yan Yi's brothers and clansmen, so what difference would it make if he saved Yan Yi's life?
He saved Yan Yi, not Uchiha Yan Yi.
Yan Yi received help from Itama, not from Senju Itama.
Now, a chance encounter on the battlefield... Itama, who suddenly seems to have come to terms with things, appears to have let go of his worries.
All the struggles and entanglements I've been going through have been nothing but needless worry. Yan Yi is from the Uchiha clan; I should have known this day would come.
But... the cold indifference in Yan Yi's eyes still deeply stung Banjian's soft and fragile soul.
"Let's prepare to retreat. The Senju people should be arriving soon..."
......
A series of hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Hashirama's eyes widened in horror; he had also witnessed the massive explosion, a scale of destruction far beyond what an ordinary ninja could cause...
"Itama! You have to wait for me!"
Hashirama's heart was pounding. He couldn't imagine how his somewhat weak fourth brother would protect him in a battle of that scale...
Tobirama followed behind Hashirama, his expression equally solemn.
They left in a hurry. Not many clansmen were willing to follow the two brothers to find their younger brother, and the scale of the battle they had just witnessed was probably beyond the capabilities of these ninjas.
However, Tobirama was well aware that his father, Butsuma, would not stand idly by after such a battle. Even if it was originally intended to give his fourth brother some experience, the current situation could no longer be considered training.
"Big brother! Calm down!"
Tobirama could sense that Hashirama's pace was getting faster and faster.
Although ninjas must always keep a calm mind, how could Hashirama remain calm at a time when his younger brother's safety was still unknown?
"We're very close!"
The strong smell of burning wood wafted from ahead, and Hashirama's spirits lifted, causing him to quicken his pace.
When the Senju clan members arrived at the site of the battle, nothing was left. Only the corpses of four Senju clan members remained...
Hashirama froze, unable to believe his eyes at the horrific scene before him: the corpses of his clansmen, blood everywhere...
"how so..."
Hashirama's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, large tears streaming down his face. His clenched fists pounded the charred earth...
Tobirama was startled, but as always, he remained calm and immediately began analyzing his surroundings...
"Eldest brother, fourth brother isn't here..."
"what?"
Hashirama was startled, then hurriedly scrambled to his feet and began searching the surroundings...
Not found...
Does that mean the fourth brother might still be alive? Did he escape?
"Over there! There are many strong chakra fluctuations over there!" A Senju clansman suddenly seemed to sense something and shouted, pointing to the depths of the forest on the other side.
Without hesitation, Hashirama took off running in that direction. Tobirama, seeing this, was startled. He also sensed the direction, but...
"Big brother! Wait!"
That intense chakra fluctuation suggests the opponent is incredibly powerful; a direct confrontation would likely result in a devastating defeat...
Out of concern for his younger brother, Tobirama had no choice but to grit his teeth and force himself to keep up with Hashirama.
Seeing the two brothers rush out, the Senju clan members didn't hesitate much and followed behind them, quickly heading in that direction.
The Senju clan has never been afraid of fighting against the strong!
Having witnessed the tragic deaths of their own people, they had long harbored an immense resentment in their hearts. Their hatred was ignited, and not one of them chose to back down.
Tianhuo had just finished cleaning up the partitioned room, tied him up, and was about to carry him away on his shoulder when, in the next second, a heart-wrenching scream came from afar...
Hashirama seemed to have used all his strength, his angry roar like thunder...
"Give me back my brother!!"
A mysterious power, seemingly emanating from an unknown source of chakra, burst forth from his body... He shattered the rocky ground beneath his feet and smashed down with a single punch, pulverizing the spot where Tianhuo was standing.
boom--
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the forest, accompanied by the emergence of an invincible physical force, along with a large number of enormous, seemingly living wooden spikes that sprang up from the ground.
"!"
Although Tianhuo dodged the attack with a quick movement, the wooden spikes that appeared behind him made him pause in surprise...
This is a ninjutsu I've never seen before... Is there such a thing as a ninjutsu?
Although puzzled, his strength was undeniable, and he showed no concern for Hashirama's hateful attack, easily making all of Hashirama's attacks miss their mark with just a couple of casual moves.
The Uchiha clan members drew their weapons, and the Senju clan members who had followed them also drew their blades...
Battle is imminent.
Although the Uchiha group has nine elite ninjas, half of them are already injured.
Although the Senju side doesn't have such a powerful person in charge, they still have more than twenty people.
Yan Yi was startled, not expecting Hashirama to arrive so quickly. However, now was clearly not the time for fighting; if a battle broke out...
It's not hard to imagine that by the time the Buddha arrives with his men, it's uncertain whether they will be able to escape unscathed.
"Brother Heyan, retreat quickly!" Yan Yi said hurriedly upon seeing this.
Kazuhiko's eyelids twitched, and he immediately realized what was happening, giving Tenka a meaningful look...
Tianhuo wasn't stupid; he knew they weren't here specifically to fight. If they dragged the Third Young Master into it, it would be a losing proposition.
Taking advantage of the relatively easy retreat, Tianhuo activated his Mangekyou Sharingan without hesitation.
"Amaterasu!"
Blood streamed from the corner of his eye, and his surging pupil power erupted. The pupil technique hidden in his left eye was none other than that pitch-black flame capable of incinerating everything...
A wall of black flames ignited instantly, completely separating the two sides.
"withdraw!"
Tianhuo clutched the left side of his head, his eyes throbbing with pain... Although he possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, he rarely used it, as it was too much of a burden for him.
Seeing that the enemy was about to capture his younger brother Itama, Hashirama suddenly wanted to rush over regardless of the consequences.
Upon seeing the black flames that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Tobirama's pupils contracted, and he grabbed his older brother, who was acting like a madman.
"Big brother! No!"
"Let go of Tobirama! Are you just going to stand by and watch them take Itama away?!"
Tobirama still didn't let go, but the resentment in his tone completely betrayed his feelings...
"This is probably Amaterasu... a flame that will never go out until it burns everything to ashes. Trying to force our way through will definitely kill us! Big brother... I want to save my little brother too..."
As Tobirama spoke, his jewel-like red eyes gradually welled up with tears...
"hateful!!"
Hashirama knelt on the ground as if his soul had been ripped out, and could only watch helplessly as Itama was captured by the Uchiha.
But in the last moment before the other person disappeared, Tobirama caught a glimpse of that young Uchiha, and a strange sadness flickered in his eyes...
Tobirama's eyes narrowed. Was that little Uchiha trying to tell him something?
