Blood Loss

Yes, the current Tobirama Senju is injured, and quite severely at that.

His right abdomen is bleeding continuously, and the blood loss is significant.

Combining this with his earlier request, the situation is likely this...

Not long ago, he fought a powerful enemy, resulting in mutual injury, but he held a considerable advantage. The enemy then chose to flee, and he pursued.

The chase led them to this camp deep in the mountains and forests. Tobirama Senju then assumed his enemy was hiding here.

As someone with incredibly strong Chakra sensing abilities and immense confidence in his perceptions, Tobirama Senju's guess was quite reasonable.

Reasonable, but not factual.

He urgently needed to deal with the enemy, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Under these circumstances, if the rogue ninja in this camp chose to harbor his target, he would inevitably act aggressively. There was no doubt about it.

Tobirama Senju ignored Yuzhen's meaningless and hypocritical concern and reminder, and simply repeated:

"I'll say it again, hand over the person. It's beneficial for both of us."

Our 'benefit' won't be survival, will it? Yuzhen thought. He sighed and said:

"Everyone in the camp is here. If the person you're looking for isn't among them, then you've come to the wrong place."

Persuasion through words was impossible; there was no trust between them. Only when one side was down would ears, organs attached to heads, function again. The question now was, who would be the one to fall?

As he spoke, Yuzhen signaled his clan members to retreat. They didn't need to be involved in the upcoming conflict, lest they get splashed with blood.

"It seems we can't talk this through."

If possible, Tobirama Senju still wished the other party would directly agree to his demands. Now, it seemed he would have to waste more energy.

Yuzhen said nothing further. The atmosphere became visibly tense, while the others, at his instruction, moved further away from the area.

Tobirama Senju did not stop them. He was happy for others to distance themselves from the fight. In his view, as long as he controlled the captain in front of him, everything here would fall under his command.

To dare to face me alone, do they think a wounded Senju has no strength? That's truly...

Courageous.

Yuzhen's eyes were fixed on the opponent. The next moment, Tobirama Senju's knuckles, loosely gripping the hilt of his great sword, suddenly tightened! Yuzhen felt a flash of cold light and, on instinct, swung the kunai he had somehow gripped into his hand.

Clang!

Blades met instantly, sparks flying.

Yuzhen instinctively tightened his lips. Tobirama Senju's speed was too fast. If he hadn't maintained intense concentration and anticipated the opponent's speed, he would have been severely injured by this single blow.

The current Tobirama Senju obviously hadn't developed the Flying Thunder God Technique. What Yuzhen faced was merely his superb Body Flicker Technique.

Furthermore, Tobirama Senju wasn't just fast. Ninjas skilled in speed often give the impression of being weaker, their attacks feeling light and airy. But Tobirama Senju was clearly different.

He wasn't surprised that his attack was blocked. He simply pressed down with both wrists on the sword hilt, and the next moment, Yuzhen felt the force transmitted through the blade suddenly increase.

As expected of that man's younger brother. While Tobirama Senju's physique wasn't as absurd as his older brother's, his physical strength was definitely top-tier.

Combining both strength and speed, Yuzhen couldn't help but grumble inwardly. Why aren't you guys berserkers? Why do you have to be ninja?

Direct confrontation seemed more difficult than expected. Yuzhen's mind shifted instantly, and he decided to adopt a more efficient combat method.

He could tell that the opponent only wanted to subdue him, not kill him outright. Therefore, he felt that even if he adopted a "circuitous tactic," the risk would be within controllable limits.

Following this, as if unable to withstand the opponent's power, he lost his balance under the pressure and began to stagger backward.

Tobirama Senju immediately flickered away, appearing on Yuzhen's retreating path. With one hand, he effortlessly pinned Yuzhen's arms behind his back, while the blade of his long sword pressed against Yuzhen's neck.

Seeing the battle situation suddenly reverse, the camp members who had just fled tried to return to the rescue. Fortunately, they immediately received a look from Yuzhen, thus avoiding the situation where good intentions led to bad outcomes.

"Alright, don't move erratically. Hand over the person..."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju's gaze shifted downwards, and he inadvertently saw the large scroll Yuzhen carried on his back.

More precisely, he saw the crest of the Sarutobi Clan on the scroll.

"A scroll from the Sarutobi Clan... Wait, what's your relationship with the Sarutobi?"

Unlike small ninja clans that could vanish overnight, major ninja clans often had long histories and the potential for long-term existence. This potential was the premise for maintaining relatively stable relationships between them...

It could be a long-standing antagonistic relationship, or a relatively eased, even friendly one.

For example, the Senju Clan and the Sarutobi Clan maintained a very good relationship.

Regardless, the external environment faced by major ninja clans was always much more stable than that of smaller ones.

Tobirama Senju had only stumbled into this forest by chance and discovered this hidden camp of rogue ninja. It was inconceivable that the people here could be connected to the Sarutobi Clan.

Therefore, he appeared somewhat surprised upon seeing the clan crest.

However, he was overthinking it. Yuzhen and the Sarutobi Clan couldn't be said to have no relationship; it was simply a relationship of robbing and being robbed.

Yuzhen didn't answer the question. He just muttered softly, "Truly a Body Flicker Technique far beyond the usual standard. You're around my age, how did you train it?"

This non-sequitur made Tobirama Senju snap back to reality. Now was not the time to be thinking about the Sarutobi Clan.

With that thought, Chakra suddenly erupted from Tobirama Senju's hand. The brutal force squeezed Yuzhen's bones with a creaking sound. He attempted to force Yuzhen to comply by inflicting torture.

"Enough nonsense, hand over the person."

"I've already told you, the person you're looking for isn't here. We don't even know if they're male or female," Yuzhen continued to explain patiently.

Tobirama Senju found it strange. This person was clearly under his control, their life and death in his hands, yet why wasn't he showing any panic at all?

Soon, his confusion was answered.

Tobirama Senju naturally didn't believe Yuzhen. Just as he was preparing to take more drastic measures, he suddenly felt the world spin. His strength and senses were rapidly leaving his body.

Yuzhen's unhurried voice echoed in his ears once more…

"Relax, the dizziness is normal. You've lost too much blood."
