Senju Longshu left the battlefield and soon ran over to reunite with Yanbai.
Hashirama Senju expressed some regret that he could not keep fighting the Uchiha Clan.
Then Yanbai "corrected" Hashirama Senju once, and suddenly he changed his tune...
Yanbai had not beaten the Uchiha Clan members in the forest to death, either.
After Senju Longshu returned, Yanbai had his clones lower those people to the ground and leave them alone.
To avoid further complications, Senju Longshu arranged for Yanbai and his older brothers to set out for the Land of Pines again with Yuzhi.
Yanbai was not worried about Hashirama Senju at all. In his original fate, Hashirama Senju had grown into the God of Shinobi.
