So I spent more than an hour lying in bed.
Uka Senju finally made her decision and put that old restriction back on herself!
So, he turned over in bed.
I threw everything from my mind back to the back of my head!
Looking at the proficiency level of the screen-based Ninjutsu in front of me.
Wood Release: 96
Water Release: 85
Earth Release:89
Following his Aunt's advice, he carefully considered the two transformations of Wood Release!
Wood Release originates from the combination of the Nature Transformation of Earth Release and Water Release.
This is why my Aunt said that as long as you master Wood Release, Jonin will no longer be an obstacle.
The commonalities among these three are alarmingly high!
However, the current bottleneck for Uka Senju is that she can only master one specific skill.
However, once combined, very obvious problems will arise.
It's like having wooden wings growing from your back but only being able to glide, instead of flapping them like a bird.
He wanted to make wooden wings that could carry him like a bird.
Therefore, the wings need to be sufficiently rigid, while the whole structure also needs to have sufficient flexibility!
There's no problem with either one; his biggest challenge now is how to combine the two and do them best at the same time.
The different reactions of the Ninja to these techniques in previous battles revealed some differences.
They were using weapons to chop at the Vine Binding and the Deep Forest Emergence, but the sheer number of them made things a bit chaotic.
They only dodge Tree Spear and Ten Thousand Forest Spears, never attempting to kick or cut them, but because they lack the versatility of Vine Binding, they dodge them with great ease!
This is the consequence of him only achieving a single change in both types of techniques.
If the two could be combined, it would possess the ever-changing forms of water and the extreme hardness of soil!
Only then can his Wood Release unleash their true power.
It needs to be both big and hard!
He sighed deeply as he thought about these two requirements.
A small twig appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he began to try to attach it to the ground, little by little.
When the Land of Water suffered a crushing defeat, it began a new round of power struggles.
On the night of the 14th, at the edge of Konoha.
A group of masked Ninja in Combat Uniform and armor escorted a one-eyed man in a long robe.
They left Konoha through a specially designated opening on one side!
They leaned forward, their hands hanging naturally behind them, forming two rows on the left and right, protecting Shimura Danzō in the middle as they marched towards the Land of Grass.
In the afternoon, I left the Hokage's office and returned to my Clan to handle the backlog of affairs and make arrangements for Root.
Shimura Danzō immediately led several squads of guards and traveled through the night towards his main camp.
I didn't get any funds on this trip, but I did gain a new source of income.
However, this approach will not yield results for 11 months.
This means he needs to find a way to fill the remaining 6 months as soon as possible!
And he also had to urge his subordinates to ensure that they would receive the money by the end of the year.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to submit to Hiruzen.
They've relinquished the Root they built with their own hands!
And the motivation for him to set off overnight was to completely sever the three clans' reach towards the Root!
Under the cover of night, the group moved forward quickly.
A few minutes later, they left the outskirts of Konoha.
They officially entered the endless primeval jungle of the Land of Fire.
In the distance, deep in the forest, at the top of a valley called Gourd Pass, a necessary passage to the Land of Grass.
A middle-aged man dressed in Senju Combat Uniform and armor withdrew his fingers from the ground.
He stood up, bowed to the middle-aged woman dressed similarly standing in front of him, and reported, "Chieftain, the men have arrived, with only a Middle Unit guards!"
"Besides Shimura Danzō, 10 Jonin and 20 Chunin will arrive here in about 8 minutes."
Hearing the voice behind her, Senju Toka, fully armed, nodded and turned slightly to the side, saying, " Yoshika, go and set up according to the plan!"
"Apart from Danzo, the rest are yours to handle."
After the First Elder sent back a message last time, she thought about it and realized that what the First Elder said made a lot of sense.
Those few things are indeed quite active right now.
Especially this Shimura Danzō, who seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't die.
They were either keeping an eye on their nephews, or sending people to monitor the Clan and infiltrate the South Battlefield.
And this time, they even sent a group of people to cause trouble, doing something thankless and arduous?
Previously, it was her subordinates who were retaliating and fighting, so she never interfered.
But this time, she felt that the small-scale fighting like the Fifth Elder's killing of a few Shimura Clan was no longer enough to keep the other side in line!
Then we have to give the other party something tangible, such as simply sending them down.
Otherwise, those little brats really don't know how to behave themselves!
Therefore, under the close surveillance of the Senju, based on the Intelligence Department's speculation...
Tonight's ambush operation is now officially in place!
Upon hearing the order, Senju Yoshika bowed his head and replied, "Yes, clan leader!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and began to make arrangements for the people who had participated in the ambush that day.
They were instructed to lie in ambush at the pre-arranged location and wait.
Because it's an ambush, and we need to do everything we can to keep it secret.
As a result, very few Senju came out tonight, less than 30 in total!
Although they appear to have fewer numbers than the opposing team.
However, in terms of quality, apart from the clan leader Senju Toka, there are others.
Of the remaining twenty-odd people, there were eight Elite Jonin and more than a dozen veteran Jonin!
This is why he didn't show any additional emotions after understanding the other party's strength.
Shimura Danzō!
They're definitely going to eat me tonight!
A few minutes later
Thirty-one figures leaped and bounded among the branches of the towering Daiki, leaving behind faint whooshing sounds and afterimages in the pitch-black night!
They used Hiding Technique to hide in the bushes.
Watching the crowd walk into the encirclement.
Senju Yoshika rapidly shook his hands, and Chakra within his body vanished instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions echoed through the valley!
"Boom boom boom!"
Thirty-one people were traveling through the valley.
When the initial Chakra fluctuation was felt, Shimura Danzō and the ten Jonin immediately reacted and took action.
Their unusual behavior also Chunin the twenty Chunin surrounding them.
In an instant, amidst the explosion...
The Substitution Technique and Earth Release defensive Ninjutsu took effect one after another!
The most perceptive among the thirty quickly spread their Chakra to search the surroundings for anything amiss.
Up in the valley, watching the rocks that collapsed and crashed down with the explosion.
As the smoke rose in the valley, the Senju Hands Ninja, who were lying in ambush, unleashed their signature long-range Ninjutsu.
Increase the intensity of attacks on the enemy below!
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
Lightning Release: False Darkness
Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves
Water Release: Water Severing Wave
Four high-level Ninjutsu of different attributes were released from the hands of the twenty-odd people lying in ambush.
They each had their own chosen targets.
Under the influence of these high-level Ninjutsu, the first wave of deaths quickly unfolded in the valley.
"Ah...!"
A Root Ninja whose body had been broken in half by a Wind Release had just let out a scream.
Immediately, another Wind Release claimed his head.
Within the earthen walls created by the multiple Earth Release - Earth Style Wall.
After successfully defending against the first wave of explosions, Shimura Danzō and several Jonin around him Jonin located the enemy's position.
Unfortunately, before he could even warn his subordinates, the first wave of death spells and the High-Level Ninjutsu above them began to fall.
He ignored the screams coming from outside.
Seeing the enemies emerging in the valley, Shimura Danzō shouted while Hand Seals, "It's the Senju! Split up and fight them!"
" Summoning Technique, Baku!"
He slammed his hand on the ground as soon as he finished speaking.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound rang out simultaneously with the release of white smoke.
Looking at the summoning beast beside him Shimura Danzō immediately commanded, " Baku, Wind Release from above!"
After saying that, he ignored the spirit beast's reaction.
He once again Hand Seals and unleashed Shimura's signature Ninjutsu.
"Hoo!" Baku responded after hearing its master's words.
He stretched out his long nose and took a deep breath!
A wide-range Wind Release Ninjutsu was released upwards.
The purpose of this technique is not to inflict damage, but to create an upward-blowing wind that forms a barrier to block attacks from a distance by both sides!
"Hiss, whoosh!"
A gust of wind comparable to a modern level 8 gale.
Centered on that long nose, it covered the entire valley and blew upwards.
In an instant, after those High-Level Ninjutsu, the Senju Ninja unleashed more lower-level Ninjutsu and threw down Shuriken and other Shuriken weapons.
They were either blown away or sent into the sky by the strong wind.
They noticed this situation.
Standing atop the valley, watching her subordinates fight the enemy, Senju Toka drew her sword and ordered, "Go down and finish them off!"
As the words fell.
More than twenty figures on both sides of the high ground drew their weapons and charged towards the crowd below.
As they moved at high speed, a thin layer of blue Chakra membrane shone from their bodies!
With just that one Middle Unit of men below, not to mention the ambush that killed ten people.
Even if they were completely unharmed, they would still be no match for these elite Senju warriors.
Upon contact, those Root Chunin were either killed or, by sheer luck, forced to use their Substitution Technique!
The Baku functioned under Danzo's orders.
The Jonin who had been surrounding Shimura Danzō.
Seeing their men crumble at the first touch, they immediately followed orders and rushed in all directions.
Expand the battlefield as much as possible!
However, the disparity in strength between the two sides caused Root to gradually fall into an absolute disadvantage even after the addition of these Jonin.
"Boom!"
The sound of a fist hitting the ground rang out.
The powerful impact cracked the ground, creating a deep crater.
Shimura Danzō was planning to leave from underground, was also forced out by this attack.
He just summoned the Baku and used a Wind Release Ninjutsu.
Seeing his men fighting the enemy, he immediately realized the difference in strength between the two sides.
The enemy is too strong; those subordinates are definitely doomed.
If I don't run away, wouldn't my men have died for nothing?
If I can escape, then I'll have a chance to get revenge for what Senju did today!
So, he, the leader of the Root, immediately Hand Seals and fled.
Unfortunately, we had just sneaked to the mouth of the valley.
The powerful blow from above forced him out from underground!
Looking at Senju Toka, who was wearing armor and holding a sword in her right hand, Shimura Danzō frowned.
If he wasn't mistaken, that attack was delivered by Toka with her Teuchi?
Furthermore, its body surface lacks the signature Nintaijutsu membrane Chakra the Senju clan?
It seems the Senju have developed some incredible technique this time!
Realizing this, Shimura Danzō, holding Kunai, became wary of Genjutsu.
He immediately banished the idea of close combat from his mind.
His eyes were fixed on the man opposite him who had made a name for himself during the Warring States period.
As he unleashed Ninjutsu, his cold voice rang out, " The Daimyō Blood Dream has stooped so low as to ambush a junior?"
Wind Release: Wind Blade
As he finished speaking, he pinched up three fingers of his right hand.
He hurled an extremely thin, circular Wind Blade, about twenty centimeters in diameter, at the current Senju Clan Head opposite him.
I heard that title that no one had used in a long time.
With her right hand holding a sword Senju Toka couldn't help but smile slightly.
Ignoring the Wind Release that shot straight at him, he let it pass right through his body.
Looking at her former junior across from her, she said calmly, "Little guy, so what if it was a sneak attack or not?"
"Do you think you'll have the power to resist if we go to war head-on?"
The voice and her figure appeared instantly beside Shimura Danzō.
A flash of light from the blade cut the figure Hand Seals in two!
He saw that the other person allowed his Wind Release to pass through their body.
Shimura Danzō hurriedly manipulated his Chakra, disrupting the meridians within his body in an attempt to escape the Genjutsu.
He didn't know when he was infected.
But after all that commotion, the surrounding scenery remained completely unchanged?
This bizarre scene prompted him to immediately Hand Seals and prepare for what was to come.
At the same time, all the thoughts I had before about fighting vanished from my mind!
The last time he witnessed the other side fighting was First Shinobi World War.
He had always thought that the scene of them smiling and willingly offering their heads to the Senju Toka Blade was already outrageous enough!
But I never expected that so many years later...
Senju Toka's Genjutsu has actually become like this?
He was forced out of the room, but he didn't notice any extra moves from the other side!
Seeing that his Wind Release had passed through the opponent's body, he also used a method universally used in the Shinobi World to break Genjutsu!
But the other side remained unchanged, without the slightest alteration.
Is this telling him that the other side isn't using Genjutsu?
But without Genjutsu, why can't my Wind Release hit anyone?
These two issues led to the substitute dodging the first blow.
His true form was discovered to be trapped in Senju Toka's endless web of swords.
He still couldn't understand it!
After dodging, he released another Wind Release, but the opponent still didn't dodge and he didn't inflict any damage on them.
Even before getting caught in the opponent's close-range combat rhythm.
He then used two more Wind Release Ninjutsu that he had mastered to the point of being unsealed.
They're already so close.
He still couldn't figure out how the other person had dodged!
Those spells, when they passed through Senju Toka, were like a fleeting shadow.
It didn't cause the slightest ripple at all!
This bizarre scene, along with the gradually fading sounds of fighting behind them.
Even Shimura Danzō, who always had a cold expression and believed he had lost all emotion after experiencing so much, couldn't help but distort his face.
Looking at the enemy opposite, whose face had changed color.
Senju Toka couldn't help but smile to herself.
This Genjutsu was inspired by a conversation she had with her nephew!
" Aunt, if the enemy's mentality collapses, won't they be more likely to fall for Genjutsu?"
"Um!"
Afterwards, thinking about this, she began to ponder how to disrupt the enemy's mindset.
Then I thought of the Genjutsu I was currently using on Shimura Danzō!
After several years of modifications and adjustments, Danzo was still the first enemy to face this technique.
So far, the results are very good!
As for why the Ninjutsu had no effect on him from the opponent's perspective...
Even after disrupting the brain 'Chakra, the Genjutsu still couldn't be dispelled!
That's because when this Genjutsu is first cast, it targets not the enemy, but the caster himself!
The only part of the enemy affected was their eyes!
Their vision was disrupted once they looked at themselves.
Therefore, one can only see the Ninjutsu passing through the body, but cannot see the traces of one's own evasion.
In the distance, at a high point not far from this valley.
Two people shrouded in black robes silently watched the battle unfold below.
When he saw that Shimura Danzō dodged several of his Ninjutsu, a twisted expression and a slight look of fear appeared on his face.
A voice with a curry accent immediately came from the black-robed man, who was about two meters tall, on the right. " Danzo should have already fallen into the opponent's Genjutsu."
"That idiot must have seen something to make that face!"
"I don't know why the adults made us protect such an idiot."
As for that person who was frightened by Genjutsu the moment they engaged in combat.
He was extremely disdainful!
In his view, people who can Genjutsu such trashy illusions are...
What could be so valuable that it's worth the two of us protecting it?
Upon hearing the voice from the right, the man in black robes on the left spoke in a remarkably magnetic voice, "That's ' Blood Dream,' someone who can use Genjutsu to fight his way from the Warring States period to the present."
"Don't underestimate him, or you'll suffer the consequences later!"
"Ha!" A curry-scented sneer rang out.
The man in black robes on the right completely ignored the hint from the left.
After undergoing the organization's transformation, Genjutsu?
The Uchiha's Genjutsu was largely ineffective.
Could a mere Senju, famous only for his physical prowess, possibly be of any use?
However, recalling that the person on the left seemed to have died at that man's hands, she realized...
He became even more disregard for his hints!
He didn't care whether the person next to him was listening or not.
As someone who 'died' at the hands of Senju Toka.
The man in black robes on the left was fully aware of that person's strength!
However, ignoring whether the other person accepts your good intentions does not mean that they can arbitrarily question adults.
So after saying that...
He turned his head slightly to look at his side and said coldly, "Do what the master says, it's none of your business to interfere."
With that warning, his aura instantly locked onto the person beside him.
Upon hearing this, I felt the pressure of the air on my body and the waves of panic that came with being locked on.
The man in black on the right didn't dare to say anything more, but cautiously asked, "Should we save him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the pressure on his body ease.
So, while trying to calm his racing heart, he cursed the bastard beside him in his mind.
We are all products of being modified by adults.
We're all from the same group of successful people.
So, given that our strengths are not... significantly different, why should I be threatened by you?
This... damn thing...!
Upon seeing the man in black robes on the right, he realized his mistake and admitted his wrongdoing.
The man in black robes on the left withdrew his aura that had locked onto the opponent.
Looking at the battlefield at the valley entrance in the distance, and the Root members who were gradually being wiped out inside the valley.
His cold voice came from beneath the black robe. "Save me! Prepare now, and remember the master's instructions!"
"Don't overthink it when rescuing people, and whatever you do, don't attack that Senju."
"Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences and the adults' wrath yourself!"
The adults gave them very clear instructions when they went out on their mission.
Danzo is in danger; try to save him without revealing yourselves.
However, the organization is not ready at this stage, so we absolutely cannot attack the Senju Hands.
To prevent the Senju from exhausting their search for the organization and exposing it to the outside world!
He naturally obeyed whatever adults said.
But this thing next to me, I didn't bother to tell it off.
He was genuinely afraid of causing trouble and ruining the adults' plans!
After giving his instructions, the man in black robes on the left immediately sprang into action.
Beneath his feet, a pale blue light shone in the pitch-black night.
When this color appeared, he leaned forward at a 90° angle.
And with a soft 'boom'.
He vanished from the spot in an instant.
Only the whooshing sound that echoed through the dark forest at night proved his movements and the direction he was heading!
Upon hearing the warning from the man in black robes on the left, the man on the right, whose mouth was hidden beneath his robes, involuntarily pursed his lips.
But the current gap in strength, and the wrath of the adult in that warning!
After nodding involuntarily, he began to prepare.
His entire body was covered by a black robe, but he extended a metal right hand that was noticeably larger than a normal arm.
"Click click click!"
Amidst several sounds.
His right hand fingers and palm had all disappeared; the front part of his right hand was the part of these objects.
It has now been transformed into a highly futuristic cannon muzzle!
Once the right hand is ready, the left arm supports the right hand.
His head was hidden by the black robe.
The movement also revealed the right side of his face, which was covered by metal.
"Buzz~!"
A sound similar to the hum of an engine rang out.
On the right side of the black-robed man, a small blue ball gradually appeared at the muzzle of the cannon on the front part of his right arm and continued to grow larger.
When the blue spherical object at the muzzle grows to the same size as the muzzle.
It then changed again, gradually transforming from light blue to dark blue.
At the same time as the muzzle of the cannon changed, the blue metallic eyeball on the right side of the black-robed man's face, which was partially exposed, also immediately changed.
As his pupils rotated, the battlefield at the valley entrance in the distance gradually grew larger in his field of vision.
As the camera zoomed in, a red cross appeared in his field of vision!
I saw that my teammates had already taken their positions.
The dark blue sphere that had accumulated on his right arm over time.
With a loud bang, it flew out quickly!
"Bang!"
The sounds came from afar, beyond the forest.
Senju Toka, who was fighting Shimura Danzō, immediately noticed the change in the situation.
She glanced in that direction out of the corner of her eye.
Then I saw a blue sphere that kept getting bigger and getting closer.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Utatane Koharu are currently in the village.
Mitokado Homura was at the rear base based on intelligence.
None of the Five Clans leaders possessed such a method of attack!
So who would be attacking you?
This question flashed through Senju Toka's mind.
But the energy contained within that Chakra ball clearly told her that she had to dodge at this moment.
This attack was clearly launched to save the dying Shimura Danzō!
Is it really worth risking your life for such a beast?
Therefore, Senju Toka had no choice but to immediately sheathe her sword and use the Substitution Technique to dodge to the side.
Just before sheathing her sword, she slightly flicked the Hengdao in her hand.
A long, thin object left Shimura Danzō's body with the movement!
Ah~!
The pain in his shoulder caused Shimura Danzō out in pain.
He also sensed the Chakra cluster flying in from behind.
But now he was also wondering who had come to save him.
And is this the only way to save us?
No one is there to guide me personally; I'm relying solely on myself in the moment.
How could I possibly dodge it like the other side?
The thought flashed through his mind, and the Chakra group had already arrived on the battlefield.
It crashed into the ground next to Shimura Danzō.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the blue Chakra sphere, twenty meters in diameter, crashed into the ground!
Immediately following, the Chakra that had been compressed many times inside the sphere was released wildly in all directions!
Shimura Danzō, who was closest to the impact, was knocked unconscious upon impact.
But the worry that had been in his heart before he lost consciousness vanished in the moment before he fell into a coma.
He also got a very good answer!
"Bang! Crash! Crash!"
The soil at the point of impact, as well as the surrounding plants, rocks, and everything else.
After the impact, they were all carried away in all directions by the power within the Chakra sphere!
The surrounding ground was cracked with fissures.
The air nearby was distorted!
The black-robed man who pulled Shimura Danzō and led him away quickly before the explosion.
This force also destroyed his robes, revealing large areas of metal artifacts on his body.
And it was thrown far away by the shockwave, far from the vicinity of the battlefield!
Senju Toka and the elite Senju Ninja immediately took cover.
At this moment, he was hiding behind a cliff on the other side of the valley, quietly avoiding everything over there.
As the ground tremors gradually subsided, the smoke and dust from outside began to dissipate.
Senju Toka immediately circulated her Chakra to resolve the tinnitus problem.
Looking at the twenty-odd figures crouching before her, ready to ambush her, she solemnly ordered, "Three people per group, immediately search and inspect the vicinity of the battlefield. If you encounter any problems, send a signal immediately. Kill any living person!"
"Hurry up, we only have three minutes. Once the time is up, we'll leave this area according to plan!"
She judged that the attack was aimed at rescuing Shimura Danzō before it left.
But with an explosion at such close range, could the rescue team really withstand it?
That's why she ordered her subordinates to search in groups of three.
If the opportunity arises to encounter them, then killing them on the spot is the fate of those who dare to interfere.
But you only have three minutes; if you don't find the person...
They must begin evacuation within three minutes.
Even though this place is far from Konoha, such a commotion would definitely attract someone to come and investigate within three minutes.
As for intercepting or killing, as long as you're not caught on the spot!
Even if Shimura Danzō still alive, so what?
Just because you say it's Senju Senju doesn't mean it is.
Now the Senju are on the side of reason, although this is not of much use.
However, it is very effective in securing external support, so this layer of skin cannot be completely peeled off for the time being!
Upon hearing the command from the other side, the twenty-odd people responded in unison, "Yes, clan leader!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the twenty-odd people automatically formed a team and disappeared from Senju Toka's sight.
After arranging her subordinates, Senju Toka immediately jumped onto the cliff and looked towards the direction from which the attack had come!
She was someone who witnessed the Battle of the Valley of the End firsthand.
The attack just now looked very similar to Tailed Beast's attack, but it was much less powerful.
The item we received tonight was clearly handed to someone; was it Shimura Danzō, who came to help us?
These people are destined to be enemies, so she needs to keep them in mind and investigate them carefully!
distance.
He unleashed a long-prepared attack, and with a series of cracking sounds, the black-robed man's right arm instantly returned to its original shape.
He gasped for breath for a while.
Before the Blue Chakra Ball exploded, he quickly mobilized the sparse Chakra within his body and ran towards the spot where his teammates would land!
That attack was his trump card.
That's also why he previously didn't take the Senju seriously.
He was confident that this gave him time to build up his strength.
Therefore, the person with Senju would certainly only have one outcome under this attack: death.
Of course, whether or not it hits is another matter.
He must have been calculating based on the assumption that he hit the target!
"Boom!"
As the blow struck and exploded, he immediately hid behind a Daiki upon reaching the location.
Unfortunately, he's not in a very good state right now.
He was well aware of the magnitude of the initial impact of that attack!
Hidden behind Daiki, they waited for a few seconds as the first wave of impact swept past.
He also spotted the figure of the target his teammate had attacked.
Lift your foot slightly, and a blue light will appear beneath your feet.
At a 45-degree angle, he immediately soared into the sky and flew towards the two figures.
"Bang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
He caught the two of them, but almost knocked himself out of his wits!
But daring not to linger any longer for fear of being left behind, he immediately channeled all his Chakra into his feet without even catching his breath.
"Boom!"
The engine roared to life, and he, carrying the two of them, quickly disappeared into the vicinity!
On the cliff face of the valley, Senju Toka frowned slightly, intently searching the distance with her eyes.
After seeing two points of blue light fly into the sky, followed by a surge in blue light and the view in the distance.
Although the darkness of night prevented her from clearly seeing what it was.
But tell her directly that it must be the enemy's departing figure!
Can it fly?
And judging from the speed at which the light increased significantly.
Not slow?
Having gathered some intelligence about the enemy, her brows furrowed even deeper.
That attack was powerful, and the enemy could fly.
Based on this information, there are very few Senju who can handle this type of enemy!
Because of their mere ability to fly, many Senju players simply cannot attack their opponents.
"It seems that the Senju also needs to speed up the development of similar methods!"
Although it is not yet clear who the enemy is, or whether they are truly on the opposite side.
But as the clan leader, she wouldn't consider those overly optimistic directions.
Judging from the other party's actions today.
She had already mentally categorized the other party as an enemy and made up her mind to address the weaknesses of the Senju against such enemies!
Turning her gaze away, Senju Toka on the cliff.
He stared at the large crater that had appeared in the ground, lost in thought.
Two minutes later.
Dressed in Combat Uniform and armor, Senju Yoshika led his team back to the clan leader, bowed, and said, "Clan leader, a thorough search of the ground has revealed no trace of anyone nearby."
"But my men just saw a slight movement in the sky, so we can only guess that the person has already escaped."
"In the valley battlefield, my men have just cleaned up all traces of us, and the bodies of the Root members were completely destroyed in the explosion."
"Time is almost up, clan leader, shall we return to Konoha now?"
Although the clan chief had previously said he would return in three minutes.
But by this time, the outcome was already decided, and the clan chief was still standing on the mountaintop.
How could they, as subordinates, leave without permission?
So, after thinking about it, he led his team up to ask the clan chief for his opinion!
The voice beside her interrupted Senju Toka's thoughts.
After listening to her subordinate's report, she nodded slightly and said, "Go back!"
"Yes, it's *x!" the crowd responded.
After jumping off the cliff, Senju Yoshika led the five people ahead to clear a path.
The remaining people automatically lined up on both sides, protecting Senju Toka in the center!
They stealthily made their way through, bypassing several groups that went to inspect the situation.
The Senju group passed through Konoha without alerting anyone and returned to their clan's territory.
In the past, they would have had no way of coming and going without alerting anyone.
After all, Konoha's Hand Seals are constructed from multiple Sealing Jutsu!
After so many years of adjustments, even Mito Uzumaki, the founder...
It's impossible to do it silently without a certain amount of time!
But things are different now, ever since the Senju ' forces entered the sealing and Barrier Team.
They've set up numerous, reliable access routes!
Within the Senju Clan Compound, at the Government Affairs Hall.
Today is a special day.
A light was left on in one of the rooms in this hall.
"Creak!"
The sound of wooden door hinges clicking softly could be heard.
Senju Toka, with a long sword at her waist and wearing armor, entered the room.
Seeing the figure drinking tea, startled by the approaching figure, she nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lady Mito!"
Hearing this, I watched the figure begin to remove his armor after entering the room.
Wearing a white kimono, with her hair in a bun and adorned with a crown-like ornament, Mito Uzumaki shook her head slightly and said, "You're too kind, Clan Head Toka."
After greeting her, she reached for a cup.
After pouring the tea and placing it opposite her, her soft, youthful voice rang out, "You've been running all day, sit down and have a cup of tea!"
In the past, she would have already returned to the Hashirama mansion to rest by now.
Tonight is special, though; the clan leader has led a team out to intercept and kill them.
Therefore, as the strongest person in the clan, she must stay here in the Government Affairs Hall to prevent any accidents from happening!
This is why Senju Toka didn't go home first but came to the Clan Leader's Office immediately.
It's late at night, and that's why Mito is here!
He hung up his armor and sword, upon hearing the call.
Senju Toka walked to the tatami mat, took off her shoes, and sat down cross-legged.
He did not refuse the other person's kindness, and picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
After clearing her throat, she looked at the woman opposite her, who still appeared to be in her early twenties, and said, "The ambush failed. Shimura Danzō lost an arm and was rescued!"
Hearing this, he didn't ask any questions.
But Mito Uzumaki's still youthful and delicate face immediately showed a look of surprise.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Utatane Koharu both live in the village.
The chieftains of the Five Clans were also in the village.
Even if Mitokado Homura came from outside, Toka shouldn't have failed!
If the enemy had a large number of people, then Toka's armor shouldn't have been spotless when she entered!
How did Toka, who had so many skilled fighters with her, fail?
Looking at the surprised Mito Uzumaki across from him, who looked like a young girl despite being sixty years old.
Setting down her teacup, Senju Toka picked up the teapot and poured tea while slowly recounting, "The ambush plan started smoothly, but just as we were about to deal with Shimura Danzō, at least two people suddenly made their move!"
"A Chakra ball that grew larger and larger until it was nearly twenty meters long was released from a distance, interrupting my battle with Shimura Danzō."
"Another one ran to the vicinity of the battlefield and, in the instant when we all took cover from the explosion, Shimura Danzō with him!"
"We couldn't see their faces because of the explosion. The search afterwards only showed two blue streaks flashing in the distance, moving quickly away!"
"No one on Sarutobi's side currently possesses this type of intelligence."
"So, we probably have a new enemy!"
"And this is a powerful enemy who has never shown his face in the Shinobi World, yet upon his appearance, he can unleash two Kage Level opponents!"
On her way back, she tried her best to recall all the clans within the village, the countries outside the village, and the Small Countries and ninja villages for which she currently had information.
She confirmed that if she remembered correctly, and that no Small Countries had suddenly exceeded her sphere of influence.
The person who possesses the means tonight must be a completely new organization that has never shown itself before!
And this brand-new organization, from its very inception, stands in opposition to the Senju?
What do they want from this sudden appearance?
What do they want from helping Sarutobi Danzo?
These three questions are the biggest sources of her confusion on her journey back!
Because everything has a cause.
Helping Danzo was the result, but what caused it was what she was pondering.
Once the cause is known, the opponent's purpose and needs become a clear answer that can be deduced!
After listening to the description from the other side, Mito Uzumaki also checked the information about the Shinobi World in her mind.
After a long while, this attack resembled Tailed Beast Bomb and a final act of flying.
It is indeed something that has never appeared in the Shinobi World before!
Of course, she wasn't unaware that these were all Sarutobi's possessions.
Just based on the true nature of the Sarutobi Four Clans!
Over the years, she's still somewhat aware of the situation!
Those Four Clans have never possessed flying Ninjutsu or similar abilities.
