Senrai turned his head sharply, his pupils shrinking. Three miles away, in the direction of the Land of Lightning's army, crimson sword light Hand Seals through the tents like blood-red lightning. Dozens of elite ninjas were cut in half at the waist before they even had a chance to form hand seals. Crimson sword masters wearing Konoha's secret guard masks moved freely through the army formation. Wherever their dark red sword energy passed, armor and flesh fell to the ground like radishes sliced by a sharp blade, and blood mixed with sand splattered three feet high.
"Damn it!" Thunder roared around Senrai, and the sand beneath his feet instantly scorched and cracked. He had thought that this rearguard action would only require holding off Tobirama Senju, and that these thousand-plus Senju Clan were merely a test of Tobirama Senju Land of Lightning. He hadn't expected the enemy to send such a ruthless killing machine. Those who had fallen were his brothers who had fought alongside him through thick and thin, the backbone of the Land of Lightning. This man was even more lethal than Tobirama Senju; he had to die!
Tobirama Senju the Konoha Anbu in the distance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Lord Senrai, are you abandoning the battle?"
"Enough nonsense!" Kawaii's Lightning Release Armor activated with a roar, and the lightning around his body solidified into a tangible form. "I'll let you go for now. I'll take your head after I've killed that cowardly bastard!" Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Tobirama Senju was about to give chase when he was blocked by the surging Lightning Ninja, leaving him no choice but to fight his way through.
The Crimson Sky Sword expert was just about to cleave the last Clan Head Level Lightning Ninja beside him in two with his longsword and decapitate him when he suddenly noticed a blinding flash of lightning above his head. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth beneath the demon mask, and with a casual flick of his Crimson Sky Sword, he flung the corpse into the air. Dark red sword energy followed the corpse straight towards the throat of Senrai in mid-air.
With a roar, Senrai unleashed his Lightning Release: Lightning Explosion Slash. The Setsuna the purple lightning collided with the crimson light, the entire sky was dyed a strange purple. Senrai used the force to fly backward and land, only to see the crimson swordsman lightly landing ten feet away, Kakuzu.
"You cowardly rat, a master Above Clan Head Level, yet you shamelessly disguise yourself as Hokage's Secret Guard! I will kill you today!" Senrai gripped his spear, which was formed from lightning, and looked at his subordinates, who were now cut into pieces on the ground. His killing intent was almost tangible. "Do you know whose brother you just killed?"
The Crimson Swordsman slowly removed his demon mask, revealing a young yet cold and hard face. "They're nothing but radishes waiting to be harvested. But you, Senrai, the revenge for killing my brothers will be avenged today. Thinking of Might Guy, Shinichi, Orochi, and Shiranui who covered my retreat, the man who killed you is right before me. Shiranui if I die today, I will leave his life to atone for your heroic spirits."
Senrai's pupils contracted sharply—the other person's eyes held an overwhelming killing intent, as well as an indifference that disregarded life and death. This kind of gaze was terrifying.
Seeing Tsubasa commotion, Tianyi flew down. Senju Tenpuku roared, "You stay here and watch! His life is mine!" Then, gritting his teeth, he said to Senrai, "Today, I will make you pay for this in blood!"
Senrai roared, "That's my line! These are my brothers who've risked their lives for me. You must die today!"
Senju Tenpuku slowly raised the Crimson Sky Sword, its blade gleaming with an eerie red light. "Then let's see if your Lightning Release technique is faster, or my crimson sword."
Senrai looked down at Senju Tenpuku with a disdainful sneer. He crossed his arms, the lightning-patterned sword at his waist gleaming eerily. "You think you're worthy to fight me? You're just relying on a good sword."
Senju Tenpuku remained silent, the Crimson Sky Sword in his hand trembling slightly, a dark red light faintly emanating from the ancient patterns on its blade. This legendary divine weapon, having drunk the blood of countless powerful figures today, seemed to crave the blood of the powerful figure opposite it.
"Shut up!" Senrai struck first, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning, arriving before Senju Tenpuku in the blink of an eye. His sword, imbued with the power of lightning, aimed straight for his opponent's throat.
Senju Tenpuku finally moved. With a light swing of the Crimson Sky Sword, a seemingly casual strike, he precisely blocked Senrai's attack. A crisp "clang" rang out, and Mars flew everywhere.
Senrai frowned slightly. He could sense that his opponent was slightly weaker than him. But his sword was incredibly sharp; his own sword had chipped after just one clash. However, he couldn't afford to back down today. He unleashed his full power in Thunder Sword Technique and Thunder Taijutsu, his body crackling with lightning, his figure moving like lightning, his sword energy crisscrossing.
Senju Tenpuku remained unhurried, the Crimson Sky Sword in his hands seemingly alive, each swing perfectly timed to deflect Senrai's attacks. Suddenly, he moved with extreme speed, his sword stance shifting, a sharp Chakra aura Space Break forth.
Senrai swung his sword to parry, but heard a crisp "crack." His sword had been easily severed by the Crimson Sky Sword! Before he could react, the Crimson Sky Sword was already at his neck.
"Impossible..." Senrai's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Crimson Sky Sword did not pause for a moment; its sharp blade sliced across Senrai's neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Senrai's body slowly fell, his expression of shock remaining until his death.
Senju Tenpuku sheathed his sword, looked at Senrai's corpse on the ground, and said softly, "Underestimating your opponent is the greatest taboo for a strong person. These are the words you used to kill Brother Might. I'll return them to you today." He turned and chased after the fleeing Lightning Ninja, leaving behind only a chaotic battlefield and a cold corpse.
Upon seeing their commander, Senrai, dead, the Lightning Ninja fled frantically into the Land of Lightning. They abandoned their armor and weapons, running haphazardly, their cries, shouts, and battle cries mingling in chaos. The once disciplined and valiant ninja army was now like a routed, scattered mob. Meanwhile, Konoha's Blood Sword Asura became famous in this battle, forever etched in the memory of the Land of Lightning Ninja.
Soon, Tobirama Senju's army successfully recaptured the Land of the Moon. Watching the people of the Land of the Moon cheer and rejoice, Tobirama Senju remained filled with doubt. He knew that a huge secret must be hidden behind this war.
In the Land of Land of Fire's military camp, Tobirama Senju found Senju Tenpuku and said coldly, "Come with me for a moment."
Senju Tenpuku raised his hand and slapped Tobirama Senju on the head, saying, "You brat, what kind of tone are you using to talk to me like that? Looking for a beating, huh?"
Tobirama Senju looked utterly bewildered. Who am I? Where am I? This kid just hit me! Am I, the Hokage, really that powerless?
Senju Tenpuku said: What are you standing there for? Speak quickly if you have something to say. There are only the two of us here.
Tobirama Senju's rage is increasing.
Senju Tenpuku said, "You brat, I told you to go back and report to your mothers that you're safe and deliver a message, and you still came back? Do you really think the military camp is your home? You think you can come and go as you please? If the Lord Hokage finds out, neither of us will be in good trouble."
Tobirama Senju realized what was happening; this kid had mistaken me for his son. He roared, " Senju Tenpuku, do you know who I am? When did Tsubasa ever come to the military camp, and even transformed into my likeness? You're incredibly audacious! You'd better explain yourself clearly today, or I won't let you off the hook!"
After the war ended, Tsubasa bid farewell to his father and returned to Konoha. He never expected that his father would expose himself and be punished, but he also escaped punishment because of this.
Back home, his mother was anxiously waiting for him. Seeing Tsubasa return safely, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged him tightly.
"My child, you're finally back! I was so worried about you," the mother said, her voice choked with emotion.
Tsubasa gently patted his mother's back, comforting her, "Mother, I'm alright. I saw Father this time, and I even brought his letter."
As he spoke, Tsubasa handed his father's letter to his mother. His mother took the letter with trembling hands and read it carefully. Looking at his father's words, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
After his mother finished reading the letter, Tsubasa recounted his experience in detail. His mother was both happy that he had returned safely and worried about his adventure.
"Child, you must be careful in the future," the mother admonished.
Tsubasa nodded. "Mother, I understand. Now that the Land of Lightning has won the war, I plan to go to the Land of Rain to inquire about Grandpa's situation. I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately."
Although the mother was reluctant to let him go, she knew it was her son's duty. Fighting back tears, she nodded. "Go, son. You are now the pillar of the family. Take good care of yourself and come back safely."
The Tensei, Tsubasa bid farewell to his mother and embarked on his journey to the Land of Rain. The rising sun shone on him, gilding his figure with a golden glow.
