After their defeat in the Fighting Arena, the Sanbugyo took on the task of protecting Yayoi Hyuga.
As a result, ten years passed in the blink of an eye during this period of waiting.
He went from being reluctant at the beginning to being so persistent that he can't be driven away now.
Even when Kyosuke arrived, the Sanbugyo consistently avoided meeting him, fearing that Kyosuke would demand that he leave the Hyuga Clan.
Indeed, after years of getting to know each other, the man had already fallen deeply in love with the woman.
His former ambition to become the strongest Shinobi World had long been forgotten by the Sanbugyo; now he only wanted to quietly stay by Yayoi's side.
The most enduring expression of love is companionship, so Sanbugyo believed.
Perhaps one day, women will accept my kindness?
He was willing to wait, until Yayoi completely forgot that man.
Whether it's ten or twenty years, he can wait.
Even if it takes my entire life, I will have no regrets.
In the previous war, Yayoi Hyuga resolutely refused to let him participate. Knowing how painful waiting was, she was unwilling to use her feelings to blackmail anyone.
Knowing he couldn't be of much help, Sanbugyo began a frantic period of seclusion and ascetic practice.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. He has gained extraordinary power through hellish training.
Tobirama Senju has come with ill intentions today, so he has decided to take action personally and prove himself with a victory.
On the field, accompanied by a sudden burst of water, Tobirama quickly retreated, looking ahead in disbelief.
When did the Hyuga acquire a powerful fighter skilled in the Hard Fist?
No, depending on the situation, the other party is most likely not a member of the Hyuga Clan.
"Interesting." Sensing the violent Chakra fluctuations within the other's body, Tobirama changed his Tobirama seals, and a torrent began to surge beneath his feet.
Water Release: Wave-Riding Strike!
This is a type of Water Body Flicker that allows for rapid movement not only on the water's surface but also within the water itself.
It is Ninjutsu developed to be used in conjunction with the Exploding Water Breakthrough.
His opponent was skilled in Taijutsu; there was no need for him to go up and fight to the death.
"Don't get in my way." Tobirama's eyes were cold as he raised his hand and unleashed a barrage of Water Gun.
Water Release: Water Barrage!
Taking advantage of the terrain, his strike was exceptionally ruthless, not only powerful but also covering an astonishing area.
It's clear they don't intend to give the enemy a chance to escape.
Fortunately, the Sanbugyo did not need to hide.
The Eight Gates Released Formation is a Forbidden Technique that removes the body's restrictions on Chakra.
In the meridian system of Chakra flow, there are Eight Gates that suppress Chakra in the body: the Gate of Gate of Opening, the Gate of Healing, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Gate of Pain, the Gate of View of Gate of Limit, the Gate of View, the Gate of Wonder, and the Gate of Death.
These Eight Gates set limits on the amount of Chakra within the body, making it easier for the user to utilize and control it. However, this technique can force the Chakra to exceed these limits, thereby unleashing a power dozens of times stronger than one's original strength.
This is the principle behind the Eight Gates Released Formation.
The stronger the ninja, the more terrifying the power boost they gain from opening the Eight Gates. However, everything has its limits; the Six Paths Level is the upper limit of the Eight Gates Released Formation's power boost.
The closer one gets to the Six Paths Level, the weaker the Chakra enhancement effect becomes, because the user's own vast Chakra is enough to break through the blocked acupoints in the body on its own.
At this point, Sanbugyo was far from reaching the Six Paths Level, so he would gain explosive power after using the Eight Gates Released Formation.
Eight Gates Released Formation, Sixth Gate of View... Open!!!
The green ring of energy continued to dissipate, and to Tobirama's astonishment, the man launched a flying kick, charging straight at him like Fire Phoenix spreading its wings.
Night Phoenix!
The Hyuga ninjas watching from afar could only see a flash of Kakkō before the two on the water switched places.
That's right, Tobirama dodged it using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Another feature of the Exploding Water Breakthrough is that it can hide the coordinates of the Kunai he throws.
"This guy..." Little Six couldn't understand why the other party would suddenly unleash such terrifying strength.
However, before he could turn around, Sanbugyo's angry fist was already upon him again.
"Anyone who dares to harm Yayoi shall die!!!"
With a punch thrown, Tobirama, not daring to take the blow Tobirama, quickly used the Flying Thunder God. However, no matter how many times he teleported, the enemy would always rush at him the moment he reappeared.
The afterimages left by the high-speed movement created a magnificent picture in the surroundings.
Ultimate Reverse Lotus!
This was a contest of speed, so fast that Tobirama didn't even have time to think.
It can only keep flashing.
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
In just three seconds, the two quickly completed dozens of transfers.
Gradually, Little Six felt his mind becoming somewhat foggy and his thinking slowing down, so the steps of locking coordinates and casting teleportation naturally slowed down as well.
Even a difference of 0.01 seconds is enough to determine the winner in this race.
Boom!
A fist, imbued with boundless power, slammed down, striking Tobirama Senju the chest.
He coughed up blood and crashed heavily into the water sphere below.
"Oh no." Yayoi was stunned for a moment, even she was extremely shocked at this moment.
For so many years, she still couldn't understand why Kyosuke would send this person to protect her.
Now she understands everything.
"Such a powerful figure, and he didn't keep him by his side..."
"He still cares about me after all..."
In that brief moment of hesitation, the Sanbugyo suddenly plunged into the water sphere, clearly not intending to let their opponent go.
Seeing this, Tobirama, whose mouth was still overflowing with blood, finally decided to kill him.
"You scum, do you really think I can't handle you?!" He raised one hand and formed Hand Seals, and countless Explosive Tag suddenly emerged from the surrounding water.
This is the third use of the Exploding Water Breakthrough, serving as Vessel for Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.
By controlling the water flow, Tobirama can perform an infinite loop of summoning explosions without getting close to the target.
"Go to hell!!!"
Perhaps sensing the impending killing intent, Sanbugyo's eyes darkened, and the already restless Chakra within him surged even more intensely.
The Seventh Gate...
"Stop!"
At the critical moment, Yayoi Hyuga, Tenseigan Chakra, rushed into the arena.
A single, terrifyingly powerful Shinra Tensei interrupted their life-or-death battle.
She wouldn't mind killing Tobirama, but doing so would ruin Kyosuke- sama's plans.
Furthermore, her Hyuga Clan will inevitably bear the wrath of Konoha.
Just as many people think, in the Land of Fire today, no force dares to offend Konoha.
She can't do it, and neither can the Hyuga Clan.
Watching the figure slowly floating in Tobirama, Tobirama's expression remained unchanged, though he had already prepared to run away at any moment.
If they truly intended to kill him, he couldn't afford to fight these two powerful individuals alone.
"Tobirama Senju, I grant your request to join Konoha." Yayoi gestured for the man to calm down.
Upon seeing this, the Sanbugyo immediately released the Eight Gates state and behaved extremely obediently.
"... Thank you for your understanding, Clan Leader Yayoi." Tobirama a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger rising in his heart.
He now understands that the other party clearly intended to join the company long ago.
The reason he took action was to seize the opportunity to punish himself.
"Why am I always the one who gets hurt?" Tobirama wiped the blood from the Tobirama his mouth, looking particularly melancholy.
