With everything settled, Uchiha Yang left the capital of the Land of Fire.
When Uchiha Madara learned that Uchiha Yang was finally coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief under the pressure weighing on him. It seemed Yang's return would ease a great deal of that pressure.
Black Zetsu had already revealed to Senju Tobirama the route Uchiha Yang would take back to the clan.
So what if you can beat me? I've got plenty of people who can help me kill you.
Black Zetsu, who was best at hiding in the shadows, appeared in a dark corner as the carriage passed. Far away, one could just make out a corner of the carriage.
Black Zetsu seemed to watch the carriage disappear into the distance, then let out a sinister laugh.
Uchiha Yang, this time I'm going to watch you die with my own eyes.
Unless you die, I won't be able to rest easy.
The route Uchiha Yang was taking back had been arranged after the Uchiha Clan conducted a fresh investigation.
But Black Zetsu was so elusive that learning the route back was all too easy for him.
The Senju Clan Compound.
Senju Tobirama studied the intelligence in his hands, a glint flashing in his eyes.
It seemed Uchiha Yang was the key to breaking this deadlock.
If they captured Uchiha Yang alive, Uchiha Madara would surely hand over Uzumaki Mito. They might even be able to demand more.
Uchiha Yang himself was just an ordinary Uchiha clansman. He had two Uchiha elite jonin protecting him, along with a Shadow Guard squad and a Nine-Tails that, for some unknown reason, had acknowledged an ordinary person.
To capture Uchiha Yang alive, it seemed Tobirama would have to lead the team himself.
As for the Nine-Tails, they would have to ask Uzumaki Changfeng to handle it personally. After all, this mission was for Uzumaki Mito's sake.
A day later, Uchiha Yang, completely unaware that Senju Tobirama had set his sights on him, was leisurely admiring the sunset.
"The last rays of the setting sun. So beautiful."
In this Naruto world, untouched by chemical pollution, the sunset seemed to have a beauty filter over it. The view was breathtaking.
"Strange ninja chakra nearby."
The Nine-Tails' nose twitched. Its gaze swept coldly across the surroundings as it warned Uchiha Yang.
Uchiha Yang reluctantly looked away. Why did people always interrupt him at such beautiful moments?
Uchiha Sake and Uchiha Ya hurried to stand guard beside Uchiha Yang. When they noticed a figure appear, their expressions tightened.
"Senju Tobirama. Those Senju bastards just won't quit."
"My lord, hurry into the carriage. We'll handle this."
When Uchiha Sake saw the person who appeared behind Senju Tobirama, his heart sank. It seemed they probably wouldn't make it out alive this time.
What a shame. He wouldn't live to see his lord awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Ya, take the lord and get out of here. I'll cover you."
With death already accepted, Uchiha Sake quietly made his final arrangements.
Uchiha Ya didn't answer. He simply nodded in silence. It seemed he probably wouldn't make it back to the clan either.
At least the lord still had the Nine-Tails and the Shadow Guard. They would surely make it back and avenge them.
"Uchiha Yang, today there's nowhere for you to run—not to heaven, and not to hell."
Senju Tobirama fixed his gaze on Uchiha Yang. With a wave of his hand, several elite jonin from the Senju and Uzumaki Clans surrounded them.
They had planned to launch a surprise attack from ambush, but the Nine-Tails had detected them, forcing them to come out into the open.
Several elite jonin from the Uzumaki Clan laid a huge scroll on the ground and unrolled it, revealing a dense array of script.
It was a Sealing Scroll designed specifically to seal the Nine-Tails. Once they temporarily sealed away this powerful ally, Uchiha Yang would be theirs for the taking.
"Kid, if you don't want to be captured and tortured, you'd better surrender quietly."
Uzumaki Changfeng looked thrilled. Mito would soon be coming home.
Uchiha Yang didn't know Uzumaki Changfeng, but he knew Senju Tobirama. He hadn't expected Tobirama himself to come out just to deal with him.
"Don't think you've already won. You want to trade me for Uzumaki Mito? What, are you trying to reach the heavens?"
Uchiha Yang was furious. What had he ever done to deserve this? These flies just wouldn't leave him alone.
"You've interrupted my life over and over again. Even if your older brother is Senju Hashirama, I'm not going to let you off."
"An ordinary person who isn't even a ninja dares to spout such nonsense here?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Uchiha Yang with utter disdain.
[Brain: Master, I've never liked Senju Tobirama. Let me handle this.]
[Sharingan: He's the one who killed Izuna in the story. Why not kill him now and keep little cousin Izuna safe?]
[Hand: Leave it to me, master.]
[Fire Affinity: Let's see whether his Water Style is stronger or my Fire Style is.]
[Lightning Affinity: Ahem, I think I'm better suited to counter Water Style. Let me at him.]
Once the Uzumaki elite jonin in charge of the sealing were ready, Senju Tobirama immediately gave the order.
"Capture Uchiha Yang alive. Kill everyone else."
"Yang, leave these enemies to me."
Uchiha Yang had been acknowledged by the Nine-Tails. With a roar, the Nine-Tails grew larger and larger.
Restored to its original gigantic size, the Nine-Tails roared at the oncoming enemies. A howling gale swept through, and the powerful force blew them all away.
A wall of water rose in front of Senju Tobirama.
Even when defending, Senju Tobirama—the master of Water Style—still trusted his own Water Style.
Uzumaki Changfeng stood beside Senju Tobirama, watching the gigantic, rampaging Nine-Tails with a calm expression.
The Uzumaki Clan excelled at Sealing Jutsu that countered Tailed Beasts. Their ancestors had sealed plenty of them, and every case had been a success.
As for why the Uzumaki Clan hadn't sealed a Tailed Beast to serve as the clan's trump-card weapon, it was entirely because possessing such a treasure invited trouble, and because they couldn't pinpoint the Tailed Beasts' locations.
Of course, there was also the fact that the Uzumaki Clan was nowhere near as powerful as it once had been.
Uchiha Yang stood atop the Nine-Tails' head with his maid, Xia Lian. Looking down at Senju Tobirama, he had a cold gaze.
Any enemy who disrupted his life would meet a gruesome end, whoever they were.
[Brain: 666, master is awesome! I never knew you could look so handsome when you got serious.]
[Sharingan: Master would look even more handsome if you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and used Susanoo: Armored Body.]
[Hand: I agree. Put Susanoo over the Nine-Tails, and its power would be something only Senju Hashirama's Sage Mode could withstand.]
"Come on, come on! Today I'll show you the beauty of unlimited chakra."
Uchiha Yang didn't choose to log off and hand things over to his body. He wanted to experience it himself. This feeling of looking down on everyone was simply too good.
Uchiha Yang stood tall and imposing, glaring at Senju Tobirama, the pathetic little punk who'd stirred up trouble.
"Ying, take Sake and Ya and stand back. I'll show you the Nine-Tails' true power."
Roar!
The Nine-Tails joined in, its roar shaking the heavens and deafening everyone.
