Death Settles All Debts, Prepare for Battle / It Shouldn't Have Been Exposed, Right?

"I'm glad you think that way." Senju Hashirama strode forward and gave Uchiha Shingen a big bear hug. "Good boy! I'm so sorry you had to go through all this!"

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

Can this guy please change his habit of hugging people so casually?

If you keep acting like that, the second son's eyes will spit fire!

Uchiha Shingen couldn't help but look over.

To his astonishment, he found no disdain in Senju Tobirama's eyes.

That's not how a wealthy person behaves.

Dog Lord was the kind of person who viewed the Uchiha Clan as a ticking time bomb, and not entirely out of emotion.

Here's a joke: Senju Tobirama believed that the Uchiha Clan was the most sentimental group of people, and secretly held the Uchiha Clan in the highest regard.

But the higher his evaluation, the more dangerous he felt the Uchiha Clan was.

Senju Tobirama believed that the Uchiha Clan was inherently lacking in emotional control and acted without thinking.

He genuinely thought so.

Therefore, he was also unhappy about his family members being too close to the Uchiha Clan.

On this point, he specifically criticized his older brother.

But now, Senju Tobirama's gaze remained relatively calm.

Yes, it's peace.

From the moment Uchiha Shingen entered, he calmly stared at Uchiha Shingen.

It was so calm. Being stared at like that from beginning to end would make anyone feel uneasy.

Senju Hashirama hugged him briefly, then let go and turned to look at Uchiha Obito.

"Child, do not hate others. Your suffering is caused by me," he said. "Here, in the name of the Hokage, I will execute you."

"I don't hate anyone, I just lost," Uchiha Obito said. "Go ahead and do it."

At this time, Uchiha Obito still used a respectful title when addressing Senju Hashirama.

In the dungeon, his conversation with this man allowed him to fully understand this giant who lived in the same era as Uchiha Madara.

He was a completely different person from Uchiha Madara. In Uchiha Obito, it was quite reasonable for Uchiha Madara to lose to Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama represented the ninjas' aspirations and united them.

Similarly, his enemies were ninjas, and Senju Hashirama was the only individual who could represent all ninjas. He felt it was fitting that he, the one who wanted to eliminate ninjas, would die at Senju Hashirama's hands.

"I hope your dream will eventually come true." These Uchiha Obito's last words. "But killing me won't be the end."

"I believe in these young people; our dreams will definitely come true." Senju Hashirama nodded.

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Uchiha Obito neck.

The immense energy provided by the White Zetsu Cells to Uchiha Obito was absorbed by Senju Hashirama along the point where the two made contact, until the cells were drained of energy and died completely.

By the time Senju Hashirama had accomplished all of this, Uchiha Obito was already in very poor condition.

Ultimately, what he suffered was a fatal wound; his life was sustained by White Zetsu Cells.

For Senju Hashirama, this was simply equivalent to reclaiming his own power, because the White Zetsu used by Uchiha Obito was cultivated by Uchiha Obito using his cells.

Uchiha Obito is not dead now; he was only modified a second time by Black Zetsu using the power of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"I'll handle this," said Uchiha Shingen.

Senju Hashirama glanced at Uchiha Shingen and nodded.

He took matters into his own hands for two reasons: first, because he was the one who proposed the execution; and second, because he didn't want Uchiha Shingen to do the same thing he did and kill his friend.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

But he saw the determination in Uchiha Shingen's eyes.

So he gave in; he couldn't refuse a child with that kind of look in his eyes.

Uchiha Shingen placed his hand in the same spot as Senju Hashirama, and asked again before making his move.

"Is there really nothing else you need to explain?"

"No." Uchiha Obito's voice was extremely weak. At this point, even if the seal on him was released, he wouldn't be able to do much. "Do it, Shingen."

Uchiha Shingen sighed inwardly and began to draw upon the power of the God Tree.

Theoretically speaking, with both Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara still in Impure World Reincarnation form, he was the only person in the Ninja World capable of directly drawing upon the power of the God Tree.

Aside from the special version cultivated by Uchiha Madara using Hashirama Cells, the power of ordinary White Zetsu is the original power of the God Tree.

Uchiha Obito's skin began to turn pale, and his physical vitality was rapidly disappearing.

However, his eyes began to transform into Sharingan, controlling the power of the God Tree within Obito's body. Uchiha Shingen activated these two Sharingan.

Before Obito's body completely lost its vitality, Uchiha Shingen reached out and, using Medical Ninjutsu and the Sharingan's perception, removed both Sharingan intact.

Chapter Seventy-Two: Death Ends All Debts, Preparations for Battle

When Uchiha Shingen withdrew his hand, Uchiha Obito's body was hunched over, as if he had shrunk in size.

Everything was over for Uchiha Obito.

This kind of death is actually not painful.

It's like having your Chakra extracted; the person whose chakra is extracted experiences a continuous decline in physical strength, increasing drowsiness, and eventually losing consciousness.

In the original timeline, Orochimaru was even able to extract the cellular power belonging to Kabuto Yakushi, demonstrating that he had truly honed his Chakra control to an unparalleled level.

For those who witnessed the executions, the methods used by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Shingen, judging from Uchiha Obito's death, were essentially death caused by draining stem cell energy—a misunderstanding that wasn't entirely wrong.

For a rogue missing-nin with a long list of crimes, this method was the gentlest one imaginable, and they did not resist it.

When an organization grows large, there will always be oversights. This approach of showing some consideration for the villagers was met with no objection from anyone.

It's not that they want to become missing-nin, but they secretly yearn for this kind of environment.

Nobody wants their boss to be mean and ungrateful; they might have dinner together yesterday, and today the boss might chop them up with an axe.

Many people initially felt indignant on behalf of Konoha White Fang, not because they all liked White Fang, but because they believed that if White Fang committed suicide, the Third's group would be perceived as a cruel and unkind group.

Such evaluations coming from a team are definitely not a good thing.

Uchiha Madara was far less popular than Senju Hashirama back then, not because he spoke harshly, but because of his way of doing things. Everyone is an adult; they never believe what they hear, only what they see.

What everyone saw was that once someone fell into Uchiha Madara's hands, he never spared them.

Senju Hashirama was not one to give up easily, but he would still try his best to resolve the situation, being extremely cautious as he approached the final stage.

Regardless of its practical significance, this approach is very comforting and reassuring.

As a result, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the White Ghost of Leaf Village.

Uchiha Obito truly ruthlessly harmed the Uchiha Clan, yet Uchiha Shingen still went to such lengths, demonstrating that he genuinely valued relationships.

They simply couldn't do it.

It would be strange if they didn't let us try out all the family's ancestral techniques.

"This young man's name is also engraved on the Memorial Stone. Give him a proper burial," said Senju Hashirama, clapping his hands together, and a wooden coffin floated up from the floor.

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Uchiha Fugaku bowed in gratitude, then said to Uchiha Shisui behind him, "Shisui, please help Shingen."

"No need, I can handle this weight by myself." Uchiha Shingen waved his hand, opened the coffin, and carried Uchiha Obito's body into it.

Although his cellular energy was drained, Obito's body wasn't completely stiff yet; otherwise, his death pose would have been quite difficult to achieve.

"That's it, "Uchiha Shingen said, closing the coffin lid and then using Ice Release to temporarily seal it. He then took out a sealing scroll and used Sealing Jutsu to directly store the coffin into the scroll.

He handed over the two Sharingan to Uchiha Fugaku, and he also erased the Izanagi Transcription Seal that was attached to the ordinary Mitsudomoe.

Everyone wisely avoided looking at the two bright red eyeballs in Uchiha Shingen's hand.

There's a Mangekyo Sharingan inside.

However, everyone couldn't help but take a look at the fourth generation.

As everyone knows, Uchiha Obito's left eye...

Because of this, the Uchiha Clan will definitely have to make a deal with the Hokage system later, but Hatake Kakashi...

Based on their years of experience, everyone felt that things wouldn't go so smoothly.

But now, nobody mentions that.

Uchiha Fugaku, of course, knew that he had to deal with the eyes in his hands as soon as possible. He took out the containers he had prepared beforehand, put the two eyes into them, and then handed them to Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui didn't waste any words, took the container, and left immediately.

Before he returns to his family and stores the eye properly, he will not hesitate to Susanoo if anyone tries to take it.

Over the years, under the influence of Uchiha Shingen, Uchiha Shisui Uchiha Clan matured considerably and no longer tries to win favor with others by being weak, as he did when he was a child.

He won't hesitate to be tough when necessary, and now is such a time.

Watching Uchiha Shisui leave, Senju Muzoku noticed that some people's eyes were a bit off, so he cleared his throat and said, "I'll have to remind everyone, if anyone wants to touch these eyes, don't make things difficult for my eldest and second eldest brothers, I'll do it."

He pulled out a Kunai with something that looked like a talisman hanging from it and waved it at the crowd.

Upon seeing this thing, everyone present changed their expressions.

Especially those few people whose eyes seemed a little off, couldn't help but take a step back.

Those who can stand here are all well-off and know what the Senju Muzoku One is holding.

That's not Explosive Tag.

"Monkey, even though you're retired, you still have to take care of things." Senju Muzoku coldly watched this scene and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Pests also need to be eliminated in time; there will always be some who can't see things clearly in this world."

"Wu Zu, that's enough," Senju Hashirama said. "We're all comrades. The Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed a very powerful force, and it's normal for everyone to take a second look, but it's not to this extent."

He sighed, "You must have faith in everyone; none of the people here will betray the village."

Senju Tobirama added, "Instigating internal strife is tantamount to betraying the village. We must cut our losses as soon as possible. Everyone must control their emotions."

Namikaze Minato looked left and right, realizing he was at a loss for words.

He also felt that those Sarutobi Clan members were of poor character and lacked self-control, but as the Third.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered those people from earlier.

"First Lord, Second, Lord Wu Zu, please rest assured, I will not tolerate any malicious intent from anyone."

"Monkey, don't blame yourself." Senju Hashirama. "It's only human nature. You've done very well all these years."

Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen became somewhat excited.

For decades, he has constantly asked himself whether he has done a good job and whether he has met the expectations of the adults.

"Alright, this matter is resolved. Let's formally arrange the battlefield deployment," Senju Tobirama said. "Fourth Hokage, this is your job."

"Yes, Second." Namikaze Minato nodded.

The Hokage had already discussed the arrangements for each war zone in depth, and after considering all aspects, they had drafted a plan regarding the scale of troop deployment and the attack strategy.

The current task is to finalize the high-end military forces to be deployed in several war zones and the allocation of manpower among the major ninja clans.

Chapter 73 should have kept the secret, right?

In the tea room, Namikaze Minato, following the established strategy, began announcing the candidates.

"The first one is the Northern Theater Command. Its main task is to defeat Kumogakure. The Northern Theater Command Jonin from the Uchiha Clan Hyuga Clan. Based on the recommendations of Fugaku- kun and Hiashi, Hizashi Shingen the deputy commander. Considering that the enemies in the Western and Eastern Theater Commands may coordinate their attacks, the reserve forces in the Northern Theater Command may be limited. Before defeating Kumogakure, the Jonin from the two clans will not be assigned by the Jonin Council, but will be assigned by the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan themselves. Shingen- kun, what do you think?"

"I have no objection," Uchiha Shingen said. "I will also cooperate with everyone to try to end the war there as soon as possible."

Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan were transferred to fight the Hidden Mist Village. This was partly because Leaf Village really had no one else to use, and partly because there was undoubtedly an intention to use the Hidden Mist Village to weaken the grassroots fighting power of the two major clans.

However, with Senju Hashirama present, this could not possibly happen again.

He couldn't even get Senju Tobirama.

Against Cloud Village, the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan would be very suitable, although these two clans are actually best suited to fight against Sand Village.

"That's good. Next are the Western and Eastern theaters. On one hand, we need to fight against Iwagakure, and on the other hand, we need to coordinate joint operations with Sand Village. In addition, the attitudes of Rain Village and Kusagakure are also crucial. We also need to guard against Hidden Mist Village splitting its forces to launch a surprise attack on Sand Village from the sea. There are many missions and the battle situation is complex. The requirements for attack capabilities and mobility are very high, and the reliance on manpower is also relatively large. Therefore, we need to trouble the First Hokage to be the commander-in-chief, Wu Zu Lord Muzu as the deputy commander. The Jonin of the Sarutobi Clan, Nara Clan, Akimichi Clan, and the four Yamanaka Clans Jonin cooperate well."
