The three black Tomoe on Sasuke's neck transformed into clusters of burning black flames, instantly engulfing his entire body. Lightning crackled and flashed in his hands.
Has the Cursed Seal been activated? It seems I've put a lot of pressure on him.
With extreme speed, Sasuke created a gust of wind and rushed to Shinsei in one step, thrusting his Chidori towards Shinsei's abdomen.
Just as Shinsei was about to dodge, he saw Sasuke's Sharingan suddenly enlarge.
The Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!
Suddenly, a giant arm stretched out from the ground, pinning Shinsei down and rendering him unable to move.
A slight smile appeared on Sasuke's lips. He had succeeded!
Did it work? So easily fooled? Shinsei laughed too, a powerful mental surge coursing through his body, and the illusion vanished instantly. He grabbed Sasuke's Chidori arm and gave it a sharp shake.
Sasuke felt a tremendous force coming from his arm and spreading throughout his body, causing his body to sway like waves with that force.
Shinsei flung Sasuke away, the force of the impact incorporating a spin as he released him.
"You're still too young, Sasuke." Shinsei looked at Sasuke, who had Three-Tomoe Sharingan. "Knowing you brought home a box of scrolls, how could I not be wary of your Genjutsu?"
With a thud, Sasuke was knocked to the ground. He shook his head, got up, and stared in disbelief. He had clearly succeeded in casting his Genjutsu, so why was Shinsei showing no signs of being affected?
As a Shinsei, Shinsei was born with stronger mental power than ordinary people. In addition, his mental power has been rapidly improved through years of meditation and cultivation. Now, conventional Genjutsu no longer works on him. If Sasuke saw the Mangekyō Sharingan, that would be a different story. However, he doesn't care about a mere Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Sasuke dispersed the Cursed Seal. He knew that continuing the fight was pointless. There was already a huge gap between the two sides, and now his trump card had been easily exposed.
"Oh, don't be discouraged, my dear junior brother." Shinsei patted Sasuke's shoulder in a strange tone, "It's not that your tactics are bad, it's just that I'm too special."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, his gaze returning to normal, and continued brushing the dirt off his body.
"What a wonderful battle!" Hashihime clapped her hands. "Welcome to our team! From now on, my safety depends on you!"
Hashihime had already figured out Sasuke's identity, but she wouldn't reveal it. Guessing was one thing, but revealing it was another. Besides, she had known Sasuke Uchiha for a long time and had even participated in the Chunin Ninja Exams together. She hadn't expected that the green boy to have improved so much. If it weren't for his lack of experience, Sasuke's combat strength would be more than enough to make him a Special Jōnin.
The team has always lacked a powerful offensive ninja, and Sasuke is perfectly capable of filling that role. Shinsei's extraordinary combat power has essentially made him half-detached from the Anbu.
After saying goodbye to Hashihime and the other two, Shinsei returned to his office. As the Hokage's assistant, he couldn't be too far from Tsunade, so his office was right next to the Hokage's office.
He's still young, so he's not assigned to routine tasks. His job mainly involves handling missions that require strong combat capabilities but are difficult for Tsunade to leave. These missions are few and far between, so he's usually quite free.
Shinsei took out a scroll from the drawer, opened it, and studied it carefully. It contained the basic techniques of Sealing Jutsu. Sealing Jutsu had always been Shinsei's weakness, as no one had taught him before. Now that his teacher was Tsunade, he naturally had to make up for it.
Whether it's developing Shinsei version of the Flying Thunder God or dealing with the Tailed Beast, Sealing Jutsu techniques are indispensable. Moreover, Sealing Jutsu are one of the few methods that can threaten Otsutsuki Kaguya. However, the dense array of basic techniques is truly a headache.
With a whoosh, the door was pulled open, and Tsunade staggered Earth Flow, carrying two bottles of liquor. Before Tsunade even got close, Shinsei smelled a strong odor of alcohol.
Shizune glanced at the doorway and then closed it again.
"Teacher, you're still at work!" Shinsei stood up and helped Tsunade to a chair.
Tsunade shoved a sake bottle into Shinsei's hand, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down! Drink! How can a man of the Senju Clan not know how to drink?"
After saying that, she raised the wine bottle in her hand and slammed it against Shinsei.
Shinsei raised his bottle and clinked it against Tsunade's, taking a careful sip. The fragrant yet spicy flavor filled his mouth.
"Do you know, Shinsei?" Tsunade's voice was somewhat somber, "That our clansmen are numbered very few left."
Shinsei already knew that after becoming the Hokage's assistant, he had access to almost all the information the Hokage could obtain. Currently, only a few dozen Senju Clan living in Konoha remain. Apart from the elders who survived from the Warring States period, the rest have abandoned their surnames. Strictly speaking, the Senju Clan is practically extinct.
"Do you know why I won't let you do human experiments?" Tsunade took a swig of sake, her eyes slightly unfocused. " Nawaki, if only Nawaki were alive."
Tsunade was somewhat incoherent, her face flushed, as she sipped the sake from the bottle.
Shinsei didn't know how to answer. Nawaki was Tsunade's younger brother and Hashirama Senju's grandson. As a member of the Senju Clan, it was understandable that he died on the battlefield, but strangely, his internal organs had disappeared.
Tsunade's expression turned serious as she stared into Shinsei's eyes and asked, "Your current strength is enough to establish yourself in the Shinobi World, so why do you still want to conduct human experiments? Tell me, what are you afraid of?"
Fear? Of course, fear of those crazy people with ridiculously high fighting abilities.
Shinsei didn't want Pain to ask him "How many floors can you carry a bag of rice Madara Uchiha to say, "Do you want to dance too?"
White Zetsu overheard his conversation with Sasuke, then Obito Uchiha must be keeping an eye on him.
He realized he had traveled to another world too late, and there was no time to change many things. This feeling of passively accepting his fate made him very uncomfortable.
"Teacher, I knew from a very young age that I was a descendant of the Senju Clan, and I knew that the Senju and Uchiha founded Konoha."
My parents have both given up their surnames, and I can't see any other Senju people. I've felt a sense of crisis since I was little. I don't know where the danger comes from, but there is definitely danger.
I worked hard to improve my strength and kept my most powerful Ninjutsu hidden. On my first mission, I was betrayed by my teammates. In the Chunin Ninja Exams, I encountered Orochimaru, and later someone even wanted to take me down with them.
"That white-skinned monster is watching me now. I don't know what other dangers await me in the future, but they certainly aren't limited to what I'm facing now."
Shinsei kept talking incessantly, as if venting all the grievances he had suffered since his transmigration.
Tsunade listened quietly, her eyes darting around, lost in thought. When Shinsei finished speaking, she picked up the remaining sake in the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
Tsunade reached out and pulled Shinsei over, pressing her forehead against his head.
" Danzo will die, in my name, Tsunade. If human experimentation can help you, then do it. Clone that monster, but don't use living people."
