Hashirama VS Gyuki

"Not good, retreat quickly, all of you get out of here!"

"It's too late, damn it."

"Are we really going to die like this?"

Several Anbu sensed the terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb before them, a flicker of attachment to the world flashing through their eyes.

"Wood Release—Wood Human Technique."

"Boom."

In an instant, Hashirama Senju, pulled along by Tobirama Senju, arrived directly at the scene using the Flying Thunder God technique, accompanied by one other person: Mito Uzumaki, the mother of Senju Fujima.

The Anbu always carried specially crafted kunai when deployed, which could also accelerate the speed of capturing Tailed Beasts.

"Lord First is here! We're saved, haha!"

"Lord First is here, long live! We're saved, we're saved!"

"We finally held out long enough. Thank goodness, we survived."

The several Anbu felt a sense of relief, grateful that they had survived, and spoke one after another with faces full of joy.

"Get back!"

Hashirama Senju directly controlled the Wood Human, grabbed the Tailed Beast Bomb with one hand, and shoved it straight back toward Gyuki.

"What? Who is this? Wood Release? And he can catch my Tailed Beast Bomb with his bare hands?"

"How is this possible?"

"Such terrifying chakra... his chakra? It feels so familiar?"

"Ah...!"

Seeing Hashirama Senju use a massive Wood Human to catch his Tailed Beast Bomb, Gyuki fell into a state of shock.

But in an instant, a sharp pain struck as he was hit by his own Tailed Beast Bomb, which detonated right in front of him.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, the area for hundreds of meters around was reduced to scorched earth, leaving behind a giant crater.

Gyuki lay within the depths of the crater, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Sage Art—Gate of the Great God."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Instantly, Hashirama Senju unleashed the Gate of the Great God, pinning Gyuki directly to the ground.

"Damn it, it's restricting my chakra."

"I can't even sever my tail to escape in time, you hateful bastard!"

"How does this man possess Wood Release like Asura? Damn it!"

"Roar...!"

After being pinned to the ground by Hashirama Senju, Gyuki let out an angry roar toward the sky.

"Mito, let's begin!"

After pinning Gyuki to the ground, Hashirama Senju looked at his wife and smiled gently.

"Mm."

Mito Uzumaki walked over directly, looking down at Gyuki on the ground without a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Sealing Technique—Adamantine Sealing Chains."

In an instant, several chakra chains emerged from Mito Uzumaki's body, wrapping Gyuki up tightly.

"A sealing technique?"

"No, don't, don't do this!"

Seeing Mito Uzumaki use a sealing technique, Gyuki roared in protest, but all his shouting was in vain.

"Rise."

Following Mito Uzumaki's shout, Hashirama Senju instantly retracted the Gate of the Great God, and Gyuki was dragged directly into Mito's body.

"Four Symbols Seal."

Soon, Gyuki was completely sealed by Mito Uzumaki, who used the vast chakra within her body to suppress him.

She had been able to easily suppress Kurama for decades, let alone Gyuki; it was a simple and pleasant task.

"Our Mito is still the best, handling the sealing so easily."

Seeing Mito Uzumaki seal Gyuki, Hashirama Senju hurried over and laughed.

"Hmph."

"Do you think sealing a Tailed Beast is such a simple matter?"

"I must carefully select the candidates from within the clan for the remaining Tailed Beasts."

"The chakra of the Tailed Beasts is too violent and far too vast."

"Ordinary clansmen simply cannot withstand it, nor can they contain it."

"You are always finding trouble for us."

"I will deal with you properly when we return."

Seeing Hashirama Senju's grinning face, Mito Uzumaki felt no joy, instead scolding him sharply.

"Haha, well, there was no other way!"

"Mito, my wife, give me some face while we're out here."

"We'll talk about it when we get back, haha!"

Seeing Mito Uzumaki lose her temper, Hashirama Senju leaned in and whispered with a laugh.

"Hmph."

Mito Uzumaki let out a cold snort and said nothing more.

In truth, she was not angry because of the Tailed Beasts, but because of Senju Fujima; he was to become a Jinchuriki at such a young age, and only after becoming one herself did she realize that suppressing a Tailed Beast required the consumption of immense amounts of chakra!

Their Uzumaki Clan was able to live long lives precisely because of their vast chakra reserves, but suppressing a Tailed Beast would inevitably shorten their lifespans.

Unless the Tailed Beast remained docile within them, this issue could not be resolved; if the consumed chakra could not be replenished in time, it would impact their longevity, which was why she was worried for Senju Fujima.

"Big Brother, is Sister-in-law...?"

Seeing that Mito Uzumaki seemed unhappy, Tobirama Senju hurried forward and whispered in his ear.

"It's nothing, let's talk about it when we get back!"

"This one with eight tails, it should be the Gyuki."

"There are seven more Tailed Beasts; we must capture them all as quickly as possible."

"Order everyone to expand the search efforts immediately."

"Tell them to be careful; if we hadn't arrived in time just now, they would have been dead."

"We cannot allow them to suffer casualties just to complete the mission of capturing the Tailed Beasts; we must minimize the risk of harm as much as possible."

Seeing Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju shook his head and gave his orders.

"I understand, Big Brother."

Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment, stopped overthinking it, and nodded.

"Mm."

Hashirama Senju nodded slightly and then caught up with Mito Uzumaki.

"You few, continue to expand the search range, but you must be careful."

"Once you spot them, simply keep them under surveillance."

"Do not suffer heavy casualties; you must be cautious, do you understand?"

"If we hadn't arrived just now, you would have lost your lives."

Tobirama Senju then summoned several Anbu members and gave his instructions.

"Yes, Lord Tobirama, we will be sure to be careful."

The Anbu members bowed respectfully.

"Mm, disperse."

Tobirama Senju nodded slightly and spoke.

"Yes."

Swish, swish, swish.

The Anbu members vanished from the spot instantly.

"Sister-in-law is usually gentle and virtuous, yet she is so angry this time."

"Big Brother must have done something; I don't know how he offended her."

"But that's not my business; Big Brother, you're on your own! Heh!"

Watching Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki in the distance, Tobirama Senju shook his head and chuckled.

[Senju Fujima: Second Uncle, I think you have some misunderstanding about 'gentle and virtuous'? With my mom like this? How gentle and virtuous could she possibly be?]

"Mito, what's wrong?"

Hashirama Senju caught up to Mito Uzumaki, reached out, and took her hand as he asked.

"Hashirama, sealing a Tailed Beast is dangerous, and it will shorten the lifespans of our Uzumaki clansmen."

"They consume vast amounts of our chakra, and the Kurama inside Fujima is even more powerful than the Gyuki."

"The chakra Fujima consumes will surely be even more than what I use."
