The Ten Family family villa was bathed in moonlight. Moonlight streamed through the window lattices, casting several slender figures on the ground. Tsubasa stood in the center of the rune altar, gazing at the six resolute-faced Senju Clan ancestors before him. His heart was filled with complex emotions. Among them were his grandfather, Tenpei Senju; his uncle, Tenshun Senju; his master, Hashirama Senju; his martial uncle, Tobirama Senju; his grandmaster, Butsuma Senju; and finally, his grandmother, Tsukika Senju. These were all his relatives who had chosen to reincarnate without hesitation. His heart was filled with a mixture of emotions, a multitude of feelings.
"Once the Reincarnation Technique is cast, you will likely lose all your memories permanently and be reborn with entirely new identities. The road ahead is full of unknowns. Do you still have any hesitation?" Tsubasa's gaze swept over everyone, his tone as heavy as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Butsuma Senju took a step forward. His face was etched with the deep lines of time, as if it were filled with stories, yet he remained upright, standing firm like an old pine tree. "What is this sacrifice compared to the rise of the Senju Clan? Our Senju Clan has fought and bled for generations to maintain world peace. It is my honor to have this opportunity today." His voice was steady, his eyes resolute, as if he were speaking of something perfectly ordinary.
"Elder Patriarch Butsuma is right!" Senju Yasuhei followed closely behind. He was burly, with a resolute look in his eyes, like a lion ready to charge. "We've fought our whole lives on the battlefield, isn't it all for a better Mirai for our people? Even if we lose our memories, the blood of the Senju Clan still flows in our veins! Little Tsubasa, just go for it. Grandpa is happy to see you grow again!" He patted Tsubasa's shoulder, his thick hand conveying trust and strength.
Tsukika Senju smiled gently, her spirit, though that of a woman, was no less than that of a man. "I dream of starting over. The Pure Land is peaceful, but it lacks the warmth of human life, and we can't eat good food. This world is simply paradise. And the person who created such a paradise is my grandson. To fight for such a wonderful paradise, what does it matter if we have to start all over again?" Her eyes shone with a stubbornness and anticipation, as if she could already see the door to a new world beckoning to her.
Tsubasa bowed to Senju Yasuhei and Tsukika Senju and said with a smile, "Grandpa and Grandma, you won't regret taking this second chance at life."
Hashirama Senju scratched his head and burst into hearty laughter. "Haha, I've been wanting to try a new life for a long time! Maybe I'll become even stronger after reincarnation, and then I'll beat that Madara guy to a pulp!" His laughter was like a gust of wind full of heroic spirit, echoing above the altar and dispelling some of the solemn atmosphere.
Tobirama Senju calmly said, "Being able to return to the Shinobi World, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will use my wisdom and strength to pave a broad road for Konoha." His eyes were deep, as if they could see through the mists of the Mirai, and his tone was unhurried, yet it exuded a convincing power.
The youngest, Tenshun Senju, clenched his fist, his eyes resolute. "I may be the youngest, but my courage will not be inferior to anyone's! After reincarnation, I will definitely become the pride of the Senju Clan! But can I go see Yun'er again?" His voice was a little sad, but his spirit was not weak, which made people look at him with admiration.
Looking at everyone, Tsubasa felt a pang of emotion. He took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Seniors with unfulfilled wishes, you can go and fulfill them these days. I will complete one Reincarnation Technique per day." He sincerely looked at Butsuma Senju, "According to seniority, let's start with Butsuma today. Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Butsuma Senju smiled and said, "I have no unfulfilled wishes, come!" He strode towards the rune altar, his steps steady and powerful, as if he were walking not on the unknown path of reincarnation, but on the road home. On the rune altar, ancient runes shone with a strange light, like pairs of mysterious eyes watching everything. Butsuma Senju slowly stepped into the circle of light, his figure gradually becoming illusory within the light. Tsubasa Hand Seals and chanted incantations, and a dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping Butsuma's body. A moment later, the light dissipated, and Butsuma's figure had vanished, leaving only a Soul Pearl floating in the air. Tsubasa carefully put the Soul Pearl away.
Over the next few days, Tsubasa performed the first step of the Soul Reincarnation Jutsu for Senju Yasuhei, Tsukika Senju, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Tenshun Senju in turn. Before each performance, he would chat with them.
"Grandpa, aren't you worried at all that you'll forget yourself and not be able to find your way home after losing your memory?" Tsubasa looked at Senju Yasuhei with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Senju Yasuhei Hohei laughed heartily and patted Tsubasa on the shoulder, " Little Tsubasa, I've been reincarnated into our Senju Clan again! From now on, Grandpa will be relying on you to take care of me! With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. Besides, I have another wish, which is to go see my daughters-in-law again. I'll have to call them Grandma from now on. I'm a little embarrassed. Once I fulfill this wish, I can reincarnate in peace."
Tsubasa nodded and said, "Then why don't you bring Grandma and Uncle Liu home for a family reunion today? I've already notified the whole family to gather."
Tsubasa looked at his grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what is your wish?"
Tsukika Senju smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a firm resolve. " Little Tsubasa, I never dreamed I could go home again. This was my last wish before I died on the battlefield. Of course, seeing your father again was also my wish. He was still young when I left, and I was afraid he would be bullied."
Tsubasa felt a pang of emotion upon hearing this and thought to himself, "Father has often said he wants to see you, Grandma. You, Grandpa, and Uncle Liu should come home and have a proper reunion!"
Hashirama Senju even more forthright, patting his chest. " Little Tsubasa, don't say anything more, you did much better than your master, you actually persuaded Madara to come back to Konoha. Call him over."
Tsubasa laughed heartily at his words: "Master, I have informed Master's wife and Lord Madara, they are all waiting for you in the living room."
Tobirama Senju calmly replied, " Little Tsubasa, I don't have any particular wishes. If I could relive my life, I'd like to properly study Ninjutsu."
Tsubasa nodded, secretly admiring Martial Uncle Tobirama's ability to develop Ninjutsu.
The Ten Family has been bustling with activity these past few days. They have endless things to talk about, from the rapid changes in Konoha to the afterlife in the Pure Land, from family ties to longing and remembrance. Hashirama are locked in a passionate exchange, while Mito Uzumaki watches the two best buddies speechlessly. Indeed, brothers are like limbs, and wives are like clothes—a sentiment perfectly embodied in Hashirama.
For the next six nights, Tsubasa repeated the process, performing the Soul Reincarnation Jutsu on Tian Muyan, Tian Uguisu, Tian Mai, Tian Zhiyun, and Tian Yukihime while they slept in a dreamlike state. Each time, he was filled with complex emotions, hoping his ancestors would be successfully reincarnated while worrying that his wives would be harmed. He Earth Flow their bedsides, gazing at their sleeping faces, his heart filled with guilt. He took a deep breath and then cast the Reincarnation Technique. A faint light emanated from him and slowly merged into his wives' bodies. In the illusion, his wives noticed nothing amiss, remaining immersed in their sweet dreams. In reality, however, the souls of the Senju Clan ancestors had quietly merged into their wombs, awaiting the arrival of new life.
All of this was silently observed by Tian Yueqing. As one of the few members of the Ten Family who knew the whole truth, she understood Tsubasa's hardships and knew that the Mirai of the Senju Clan lay behind this secret. She often watched Tsubasa's busy figure late at night, her eyes filled with heartache and admiration.
Time passed quickly, and all six wives of the Ten Family were pregnant. The people of Konoha only knew that the Hokage's wives were pregnant, unaware that this concealed the Ten Family's most secret plan to create a god. As for Tsubasa, he watched his wives' bellies grow larger each day, his heart filled with both anticipation and trepidation. He looked forward to the arrival of new life and the day when the Senju Clan would rise again; he was also anxious about the unknown Mirai, worrying whether his reincarnated ancestors could successfully regain their memories and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Senju Clan's great revival.
But in any case, everything has begun. In the long river of destiny, Tenbutsu, Tenpei, Tenka, Tenchu, Tenpi, and Tenshun officially embark on a journey to fight for the rise of the Senju Clan, all with new identities. And Tsubasa will silently protect them as they grow.
