I've come to marry you, Mito (6,000-word chapter)
The unusual movements of the Senju and Uchiha, two major superpowers, quickly attracted widespread attention.
The Senju is a bit better off, since they have an alliance with the Land of Whirlpools, so people don't speculate too much.
But what are you Uchiha doing there? Are you going to start a war right now?!
Uchiha and Hyuga VS Senju and Uzumaki?!
The Land of Fire won't let you cause any more trouble?
Just as many people were feeling uneasy, a second rumor quickly spread.
The new Clan Leader of the Senju clan is engaged to Princess Uzumaki, and he is going to the Land of Whirlpools to welcome his bride.
If you're asking which princess, it's definitely the one who had a rumored romance with Uchiha Kyosuke.
Now you know why the Uchiha sent troops—they were there to kidnap a bride.
The explosive news sparked heated discussions not only among the major Family but also among ordinary people.
"What a man! He's willing to face Senju blade for the woman he loves."
"Ah~ Kyosuke- sama is so amazing~"
"If any man were willing to do that for me, I'd die happy."
"Hmph, starting a war for his own selfish desires, Uchiha Kyosuke is nothing special."
"I think the Senju and Uchiha are exactly the same."
"Hashirama Senju clearly stole her away; the Senju are indeed a group of evil people."
Regardless of how the outside world views this matter, even the Senju Clan itself is not at peace.
Arranging a marriage alliance with the Land of Whirlpools can help strengthen the bond between the two countries, but it also depends on who the marriage partner is.
Choosing Mito Uzumaki clearly indicates a deliberate attempt to Uchiha Kyosuke.
The Family is already in Perilous Times; if we anger the Uchiha, wouldn't we be in a precarious situation of facing enemies on two fronts?
At the cost of ruining their reputation, they finally managed to widen the gap in basic combat strength with the Uchiha.
If we're caught in a pincer movement, wouldn't all our previous efforts be for naught?
With this in mind, many people began to persuade the Clan Leader.
Arranging a marriage is fine, but the candidate can be changed. Mito isn't the only one who can be called a Mito.
Hashirama expressed his strong agreement with this.
If necessary, he could actually choose not to get married.
In Hashirama's heart, nothing was more important than that dream.
"Tobirama, how about we..."
"Big brother!" Tobirama forcefully interrupted his brother, as if to say, "I will never let this go."
Most members of the clan were unwilling to clash with the Uchiha, but he alone resolutely carried out his father's dying wish.
"Don't forget, who really killed Father?" Tobirama said sinisterly, "The Flying Thunder God's teleportation Barrier might fool others, but it can't fool me."
"If I don't avenge this, I, Tobirama Senju, swear I will not be a man!"
"Sigh." Faced with his younger brother's resolute stance, Hashirama could only let out a sigh, despite having a thousand words to say.
He once naively believed that if he and Ban became Clan Leader, they could work together towards their childhood dream.
Looking back now, it's clear how unpredictable life can be.
He, who was most eager to establish the village, was actually willing to turn against his best friend for a woman he had never met.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
"Perhaps Kyosuke already knew the news."
"That's why he..." Hashirama kept searching for excuses in his mind.
Unfortunately, regardless of his thoughts, the wedding procession proceeded steadily toward the Land of Whirlpools.
What was destined to happen was bound to happen.
Even if he was unwilling, Hashirama, who had not yet firmly secured his Hashirama Clan Leader, could not afford to show weakness in front of the Uchiha.
"Well."
The Land of Whirlpools, the Hidden Village Whirlpools.
"My lord, the wedding procession has arrived."
A joyful shout stirred the entire village.
Mito is getting married! This is a joyous occasion for the entire country.
The news had spread throughout the Land of Whirlpools half a month ago, and now auspicious slogans can be seen posted everywhere in the country.
Even though the Senju's reputation has suffered in recent years, they are still far better than the bastard Uchiha.
Especially Uchiha Kyosuke; if it weren't for him, so many families wouldn't have been destroyed and lives lost in the Land of Whirlpools.
Want to marry our princess?
You're dreaming!
"They've finally arrived." Hearing the shouts of his clansmen, Uzumaki Ashina slowly rose from behind the desk.
The Senju Clan moved faster than expected, so it seems the methods we prepared in advance are no longer needed. "Never mind, completing the engagement peacefully is more important than anything else."
"Is that so?" Suddenly, Black Zetsu laugh came from the corner, "Don't be so sure, Uzumaki Clan."
"Are you disappointed that I didn't let you succeed?" At this point, Uzumaki Ashina was too lazy to tolerate its behavior.
A guy who's scheming to start a war.
If he hadn't been unable to accept Mito marrying the Uchiha, Ashina would never have agreed to the conditions proposed by the other party.
"Hehehe, I advise you to make preparations as soon as possible, and don't trust your own judgment too much." Perhaps knowing he was unwelcome, Black Zetsu quickly and quietly left the room.
However, as it says, some things cannot be changed whether you want to or not.
Pushing open the door and stepping outside, Uzumaki Ashina took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then ordered in a low voice, "Go, 'invite' the princess out."
"Yes, ma'am." Several maids exchanged glances, turned around, and hurriedly ran towards the princess's villa.
As his father-in-law and the Daimyō of the Land of Whirlpools, he should have been waiting for Hashirama Senju to come and pay his respects.
However, considering the actual situation, Uzumaki Ashina decided to personally go outside to greet him.
"My lord, something terrible has happened!" Just then, a figure staggered up to him.
Before Uzumaki Ashina could even ask, a shout suddenly echoed throughout Hidden Village.
[Mito, I've come to take you home!!!]
"Damn it, he really came after all." With Black Zetsu's warning, Uzumaki Ashina had actually anticipated this situation.
Waving his hand to signal his clansmen to calm down, the Uzumaki Clan's emotions actually calmed down at this moment.
In any case, he shouldn't be the one who's anxious right now.
"Don't rush, let's take it slowly."
The main entrance to the Hidden Village.
Perhaps it was fate, but the two wedding processions happened to meet here.
The two families had been "friends" for many years, but now that they met, they were extremely hostile towards each other.
We extended our warm greetings to the other party's mother, and they also expressed their concern for the health and well-being of our parents.
The scene was incredibly lively, leaving the residents of the Uzumaki who came to watch completely stunned.
The younger brothers were cursing at each other, and as the elders of both sides, Kyosuke and Hashirama naturally couldn't just start swearing.
Looking at Hashirama at the Hashirama of the group, who appeared even more composed than before, Kyosuke smiled and said, "Time flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, you've become the Clan Leader."
Seeing his former comrades reminded Hashirama of the promise the three of them made.
Now that he and Madara have both become rulers and their strength is unparalleled in the Land of Fire, they can no longer talk about their dreams like they used to.
"Kyosuke..." Hashirama smiled bitterly, wanting to confirm his friend's thoughts.
But Tobirama Senju to the side, gave him no chance whatsoever.
"Uchiha Kyosuke!" Reaching the front of the group, Tobirama drew Special-Made Kunai and demanded menacingly, "I'm asking you, is your involvement in Father's death?"
This outrageous act immediately provoked a backlash from the Uchiha group.
With a whoosh, a long sword flashed and was drawn. Uchiha present stepped forward, their eyes filled with killing intent as they stared at their enemy.
All the remaining ninjas of the Kyosuke Legion were present for this wedding procession.
We are all strong individuals who have survived countless battles and bloodshed; how could we tolerate Senju brat disrespecting our elders?
The terrifying killing intent that coalesced caused even the furious Tobirama to slightly change his expression.
"As expected, the Uchiha are our true enemy."
Seeing that Tobirama was in a weak position, the Senju clan members who had followed him also stood behind him.
Regardless of their previous thoughts, the Senju would not falter in the face of their enemies.
You want to fight?
Alright then, let's settle the score for the Clan Leader chief's murder.
Seeing both sides draw their longswords and glare at each other with murderous intent, the onlookers in the Uzumaki were terrified.
"Wait, wait a minute, aren't you here to welcome the bride...?"
"There's no reason to come knocking with a knife..."
In an effort to prevent the fighting from spreading, a man in the crowd shouted out in a trembling voice.
This statement successfully stunned both sides of the ninjas who were about to start fighting.
Yes, we're here to welcome the bride.
Even Tobirama Senju suppressed his murderous intent, but Kyosuke's simple words immediately ignited his fury.
"You mean Butsuma Senju?" Kyosuke smiled faintly, uttering words that shocked everyone present. "If I remember correctly, he did indeed die at my hands."
Upon hearing this, Tobirama could no longer remain calm and charged at him with his kunai, Kunai, "I'll take your life!"
"Hehe." At that moment, a soft chuckle suddenly came from the side.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of Tobirama and easily blocked his Kunai.
"You can't kill anyone today, I'm telling you." The person who appeared to intercept them was none other than Uchiha Izuna, who had followed them.
"It's you." Tobirama already Red Eye, didn't care who was blocking his way.
He had only one thought in his mind: all Uchiha people should die.
He dropped the Kunai in his hand, took two steps back, and began to rapidly Hand Seals.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
A giant dragon formed from flowing water roared as it charged toward Izuna.
"A mere trick." At the same moment, a blazing fireball surged forth and collided squarely with the water dragon.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
If it came to a contest of Ninjutsu, Izuna wouldn't fear anyone at this moment.
The Mangekyō activated, and the fire-controlling Dojutsu was instantly applied to the swords.
This attack method will make Izuna's close combat equally lethal.
Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi Sword!
In fact, it's not just a change in form; the power of the Kagutsuchi can further enhance the flames.
Combined with the Mangekyō's astonishing insight, Tobirama simply couldn't bear the consequences of being brought close by him.
Two brief exchanges resulted in extensive burns to his arms and torso.
With his anger raging, Tobirama Senju resolved to kill Uchiha Izuna at all costs.
Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!
A pale yellow coffin rose from the ground, and to Izuna's astonishment, several Uchiha predecessors who had died on the battlefield were reborn into the world.
As cunning as he was, he didn't even restrain the thoughts of the Impure World Reincarnation body.
This method can disrupt the opponent's rationality.
"I... I'm dead, aren't I...?"
"You're Izuna! You've grown so much!"
"Where am I? Why am I standing with the Senju?!"
The deceased clansmen reappeared, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
"It was created so early." Kyosuke remained silent, quietly observing the scene before him.
From any perspective, the Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden Ninjutsu that violates human ethics.
If word gets out about what happened today, the reputation of the Senju will surely suffer further damage.
The once Senju of the Forest have fallen to a state where they are almost universally reviled, Tobirama and his son deserve much credit for this.
"You, you dare to desecrate the dead!" Izuna roared in fury.
Driven by resentment, the second stage of Susanoo instantly appeared.
Kagutsuchi a burning rocket, which shot towards Tobirama in an instant.
"Go to hell!"
However, no matter how unwilling the Impure World Reincarnation bodies may be, they still have to obey the sorcerer's orders.
For example... blocking a fatal attack for Tobirama.
With a loud bang, the three Impure World Reincarnation bodies instantly turned into flying debris, and at the same time, they successfully completed their mission.
The remaining few, while loudly cursing the Senju's insidious nature, rushed forward, attempting to take the lives of their clansmen.
"Izuna, use Sealing Jutsu," Kyosuke prompted.
Upon hearing this, Susanoo Sword swept across, instantly slicing several Impure World Reincarnation warriors who rushed close in half at the waist.
The black magic spread, and Izuna successfully sealed the group away.
"Tch, it really doesn't work." Tobirama shook his head in disappointment. Without getting close to his opponent, he couldn't use his Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.
The Impure World Reincarnation technique, which was once highly anticipated, does not seem to have achieved the desired result.
"So..."
Water Release: Water Severing Wave!
He clasped his hands together and spat out a rapid jet of high-pressure water from his mouth.
Its overwhelming cutting power was even too much for Izuna's Two-Stage Susanoo to handle.
"Damn it, don't think I'm afraid of you." Ignoring the torn Susanoo, Izuna's eyes narrowed, and he fired the Flame Arrow once again.
The two, their Red Eye, appeared ready to die together.
At the crucial moment, Kyosuke and Hashirama arrived on the field at the same time.
The former used the Earth Spear Technique, and with his hardened arms, he directly cut off the Water Severing Wave flow.
The latter, using the Rashomon, easily blocked the Flame Arrow.
"... In the end, it will still take your action." Izuna shook his head, then muttered to himself, "When we get home, remember to teach me this hardening Ninjutsu."
"No problem." Kyosuke nodded with a smile and waved for everyone to step back.
If he were to fight Hashirama, he wasn't confident he could ensure everyone's safety.
On the other side, Senju was also silently retreating.
They knew all too well what kind of strength Hashirama possessed.
If these two were to actually fight, the area within several kilometers would become a high-risk zone.
It's possible that the entire Whirlpool Hidden Village could be razed to the ground.
"I will not allow anyone to harm my brother." Hashirama exuded an astonishing aura, already displaying the demeanor of a peerless powerhouse.
After losing to the Tennin, he devoted himself to training for a while and felt that his strength had improved.
This is the terror of the God of Shinobi; every time you meet him, your strength will improve significantly.
Of all the dozens of reincarnations of Asura, none have reached the level of Hashirama.
His talent was so high that it was gradually approaching that of the Asura himself.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've had a match." Kyosuke showed no fear, his eyes blazing with a battle intent that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.
He was eager to know whether Hashirama had reached the Super Kage Level.
Just as the two big shots were about to make a move, Uzumaki Ashina suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood right between them.
"Please calm down." Hashirama nods slightly, then turns around and asks calmly, "May I ask what brings the Uchiha here?"
Mito is his daughter, Uzumaki Ashina naturally holds the moral high ground.
Therefore, he is definitely not afraid to argue with Kyosuke.
Of course, Uzumaki Ashina also knew that the young man in front of him was not the kind of person who followed the rules, and that reason alone would not be enough to persuade him.
As expected, Kyosuke had no intention of wasting words with him. "Get Mito out here. I have no interest in talking to you anymore."
"Hmph." At this moment, Tobirama couldn't help but speak sarcastically from the side, "You're so arrogant, aren't you? You dare to tell the master to shut up on their turf."
"Ha, is that so?" Kyosuke turned his head, his eyes filled with icy coldness. "I feel that killing their Clan Leader right under their noses would be more impressive."
"Asshole!"
Ignoring the enraged Senju Clan, Kyosuke refocused his gaze on Uzumaki Ashina. "I advise you not to make a mistake, or today I'll make sure your Land of Whirlpools is drenched in blood."
"Rivers of blood!"
"Rivers of blood!"
"Rivers of blood!"
Uchiha's murderous scream made Uzumaki Ashina's face extremely ugly.
After a moment of silence, he still instructed his servants to bring Mito out.
"Kyosuke." Soon, Mito with her Ponytail in Mito appeared before everyone.
However, something completely unexpected happened.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to marry Lord Hashirama. The Senju are the eternal allies of the Land of Whirlpools Hashirama." Mito put on an expression that said, "I love you, but I can't abandon my clan."
In return, she only received Kyosuke's silent gaze.
Seeing that she had chosen their side, the Senju Clan, who had been somewhat apprehensive, immediately began to mock her mercilessly.
"Hahaha, some people are just overestimating themselves, thinking they can stand shoulder to shoulder with Hashirama Clan Leader?"
"Go home and stop embarrassing yourself here."
"If I were him, I'd just slit my own throat."
"Don't say that, he's the most outstanding genius in the Uchiha."
"A genius? He'll soon become a laughingstock in the Shinobi World."
Kyosuke remained unfazed by the barrage of ridicule, his gaze fixed solely on Mito from beginning to end.
"Where's the purse I gave you?" he suddenly asked.
"Uh, here it is." Mito pulled out an exquisite spice pouch from her bosom, her eyes subtly revealing a hint of reluctance.
Not far away, Kyosuke suddenly laughed, "The disguise is indeed very convincing; even with my eye power, I can't tell the difference between the real and the fake."
"However, I was fooled once a few years ago. Do you really think you can fool me?"
Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Ashina changed slightly, but the fake Mito continued his performance, "What deception? Kyosuke, please don't do this."
"Tell me, what is this thing for?" His eyes were full of mockery as he asked a question the other person could never answer.
"What are you going to do with this..." Fake Mito looked down at his purse, wondering what else could this thing be used for, to be eaten raw?
In fact, the purse was just a disguise; it was actually Flying Thunder God warning device that Kyosuke gave to Mito.
He crushed the purse, and no matter how far away he was, he would receive a notification and rush to the rescue as quickly as possible.
Mito wouldn't casually take something so important into his possession.
"Whether it's fake or not, let me prove it to you."
Before he finished speaking, Kyosuke had already drawn his sword and swiftly arrived in front of Uzumaki Ashina.
"Insolence!" The golden Adamantine Sealing Chains lit up, and the iron chains whistled past, sealing off the surroundings completely.
He gave the fake Mito a wink, Uzumaki Ashina wanted it to leave quickly.
None of the people present were fools. If its false identity were confirmed, the Land of Whirlpools would inevitably be accused of attempting to start a war.
Not to mention the Uchiha, even the Senju wouldn't give them a friendly look.
Whether we fight or not is our own business; it's not up to an outsider like Uzumaki to sow discord.
What, you, Uzumaki Ashina, also want to come to the Land of Fire and get a piece of the pie?
He couldn't afford to bear such a charge.
The idea is good, but unfortunately, Kyosuke doesn't intend to let the White Zetsu Clone leave.
The Adamantine Sealing Chains very powerful; even Three-Stage Susanoo might not be able to withstand it. Fortunately, he has never been one to recklessly charge in.
The Flying Thunder God Kunai shot out, cleverly avoiding the chains by colliding with each other.
In the blink of an eye, one of the Kunai appeared behind the fake Mito.
At that moment, Hashirama finally couldn't hold back and made his move.
He slapped the kunai Kunai, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Kyosuke, don't go too far."
"This is Uzumaki territory. I won't let you run wild anymore."
Having never witnessed White Zetsu Clone, he naturally couldn't distinguish between the real and fake Mito.
In Hashirama's eyes, Kyosuke was completely enraged and ready to attack the woman who was about to become his wife.
Even with his good temper, he had no choice but to take action at this moment.
"What an idiot." Kyosuke shook his head, watching the fake Mito quietly leave.
As for the real Ponytail, it should be under Uzumaki Ashina's surveillance at this moment.
While personal freedom may be restricted, at least safety will not be compromised.
After dealing with this fool in front of him, he'll settle accounts with that old dog, Uzumaki Ashina, slowly.
Kyosuke drew his Kusanagi Sword from his waist, activated his Sharingan, and stared intently at his opponent.
At the same moment, Hashirama also took out his twin swords from the Sealing Scroll.
Two terrifying auras intertwined, and the air itself seemed to tremble slightly, as if it were about to collapse under their weight.
"It's finally starting." Tobirama and the others slowly retreated, trying to get away from the center of the storm.
Seeing this, Hashirama seemed to have thought of something, and turned to run towards the distant Forest.
"Kyosuke, let's find another place to fight."
"Alright."
Not knowing Mito's whereabouts, Kyosuke didn't want to start a major battle in Hidden Village.
Like two shooting stars, the two rushed one after the other into the distant Forest.
Before the two groups could even give chase, the shockwaves from the intense battle were already carrying far and wide.
