Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 126 Don't Make Oaths Randomly, or You'll Be Subjected to Heavenly Justice

The battle scene wasn't as brutal as expected, but it still sent chills down the spines of the arriving Senju clan.

Before my eyes lay eighteen elite members of the Thousand Hands clan, their bodies already cold, their clothes intact, and no obvious external injuries, only some strangely patterned strangulation marks. Their withered faces still bore traces of terror.

"Boom~"

A member of the Thousand Hands clan, who was examining corpses, lifted up a body to take a closer look, only to find that the corpse was very brittle and felt like a dehydrated mummy.

"Young clan leader, there are no signs of a struggle here, and the bodies of the clansmen have no external injuries. It's as if they were killed simultaneously in an instant, and..."

After examining the scene and the body, a clansman skilled in coroner's work immediately reported to Tobirama Senju.

"And what?"

At this moment, Tobirama Senju was unusually calm. Before him lay the unseeing corpse of Koji Senju.

The physically formidable Senju Koji died from a fist-sized bloody hole in his chest—a brutal method that was exactly the same as the moves he was known for.

"The eighteen clansmen were all drained of their chakra and life force, turning them into dried-up corpses."

Upon catching a glimpse of Senju Koji's bizarre death, the Senju clan member who came to report instinctively swallowed hard before truthfully recounting his discovery.

"This method."

Upon hearing the cause of death of his clansmen, Tobirama Senju frowned. The first thing that flashed through his mind was his elder brother's hearty smile, but he quickly shook his head.

Impossible. There's no one else in the world with that kind of talent. It must be some kind of forbidden technique or shady method.

"Examine Koji Senju's body."

Tobirama Senju ordered the Senju clansman, who was skilled in coroner's work, to examine the unseeing eyes of Koji Senju.

"yes!"

Upon hearing the order, the clansmen hurriedly stepped forward and carefully examined Senju Koji's body. They quickly rose and reported back.

"Young clan leader, Captain Koji died from having his heart crushed by his own signature hand chop."

"Illusion?"

Upon hearing this word, Tobirama Senju's DNA stirred.

"That's right, Captain Koji had obvious illusion magic aura on him. He was probably controlled by the enemy to commit suicide before he died."

The clansmen who examined the body gave their own conclusions.

"understood."

Now Tobirama Senju is in a bit of a headache. An unknown enemy is capable of instantly killing eighteen of his clansmen, who are not weak.

They could also easily control the elite captain-level Senju Koji with illusion magic.

Moreover, judging from the traces at the scene, the number of the other party was not large, and there may even have been only one person.

"Is it Madara Uchiha? Or is it Tajima Uchiha himself who has come?"

Tobirama Senju began to let his thoughts wander, guessing that in his mind, there were only a few enemies capable of doing this.

"How is the situation?"

Mito Uzumaki arrived late, her brow furrowed, fearing she might find some curly-haired corpse at the scene.

As they walked along, they only saw the corpses of recently deceased Senju clan members on the ground. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned their gaze to Tobirama Senju, who was still deep in thought, and asked,

"It's hard to say. Can you help me sense if there are any remnants of the Uchiha clan's ocular power here?"

Tobirama Senju can no longer afford to target Mito Uzumaki. Koji Senju's mysterious death has served as a wake-up call, indicating that other forces have become involved in the pursuit of the Hagoromo clan.

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words, Mito Uzumaki's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and lowered her eyelids to avoid letting the other party notice her unusual behavior.

"Damn it! How did this white-haired brat guess it was the Uchiha clan's doing?"

In truth, Tobirama Senju only suspected, and couldn't be certain, that the culprit was a member of the Uchiha clan. However, given his inherently negative affinity for the Uchiha, the first thing that flashed through his mind in any situation was:

[It must have been Uchiha Inui!]

With mixed feelings, Mito Uzumaki said no more, and began to exert her senses, carefully sensing the familiar scent. After a while, she finished sensing it, but her expression turned strange.

"What did you sense?"

Noticing Mito Uzumaki's strange expression, Tobirama Senju frowned. Could it be that the other party had even tampered with her aura?

"Well, how should I put it, I couldn't sense any of the Uchiha's eye power."

Mito Uzumaki said confidently, because there was indeed not a trace of residual eye power.

"Impossible! Apart from the Sharingan, I can't think of anyone whose genjutsu is so advanced that they can control Senju Koji instantly. You know, he's known for his unwavering will."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but feel frustrated and even began to question Mito Uzumaki's professional competence.

"Is it reliable or not? Is your title of 'Whirlpool Princess' just a hollow boast?"

"Huh? You little white bastard, don't you want a beating?"

Damn it, I'll get flamed for telling the truth. Does this white-haired brat want to taste my iron fist? Besides, her nickname isn't Whirlpool Princess at all.

I rolled up my sleeves, ready to teach this little brat a lesson and show him the power of my iron fist.

"Since there are no remnants of eye techniques, then what exactly is this dense chakra?"

Senju Tobirama, who had no time for bickering, rubbed his temples. There was no point in wasting time with this Uzumaki clan; things were getting serious.

"Tsk! Do you really want me to say something?"

Mito Uzumaki lowered her fist and looked at Tobirama Senju with a strange gaze. "I'm afraid this kid won't be able to handle what I'm about to say."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"The Uchiha clan's eye power is nowhere to be found, but your brother's life-giving aura from his escape technique is everywhere."

Mito Uzumaki made a startling statement, directly pinning a huge blame on the hot mom from Haxi, who was far away.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Tobirama Senju is possessed by Cao Cao.

"Face reality, child."

Mito Uzumaki, with a look of sympathy on her face, spoke earnestly to the somewhat deranged Tobirama Senju.

"Your brother has defected! Go back immediately and take charge!"

Just kidding, hehe.

Seeing Tobirama Senju's unfriendly gaze, Mito Uzumaki chuckled. She knew that Hashirama Senju was currently overseeing things within the Senju clan's territory and had no time to pay attention to what was happening here.

"So, someone stole Big Brother's secret technique?"

Unable to think of any other reason, Tobirama Senju insisted that someone had plagiarized his beloved elder brother's methods.

"hehe."

Mito Uzumaki's statement is undeniable.

Having calmed down, Tobirama Senju regained his usual shrewdness. Since the other party had helped the Hagoromo clan evacuate, they only needed to capture the remnants of the Hagoromo clan to trace the murderer of Koji Senju.

"Let's go! Continue the pursuit of the Feathered Robe Clan."

Having figured things out, Tobirama Senju immediately made a decision: he rallied his subordinates to continue the pursuit of the remnants of the Hagoromo clan, then turned to look at the absent-minded Mito Uzumaki, his tone now more sincere.

"Please continue leading the way; we must find the real culprit."

The methods my elder brother used must be kept in the hands of the Senju clan and must never be used anywhere else!

Staring into Tobirama Senju's piercing gaze, Mito Uzumaki had no choice but to steel herself and begin to sense. Soon, she sensed the traces of the man's departure. After a moment's internal struggle, she still took steps to chase after him.

I'll just look from afar.

"Why is it so slow?"

Watching Mito Uzumaki move forward at a snail's pace, Tobirama Senju, growing increasingly anxious, couldn't help but ask a question.

"The other party's methods of concealment are very sophisticated. I need to sense them slowly. Could you please not disturb me?"

Mito Uzumaki, determined not to lead the way, immediately came up with a perfectly reasonable excuse.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Having to ask for a favor, Tobirama Senju had no choice but to speak in a humble tone.

As she walked, sensing that person's presence drawing ever closer, Mito Uzumaki's heart pounded uncontrollably, and many strange thoughts flashed through her mind.

So many years have passed, does he still remember me?

I forgot to put on makeup before going out, will my bare face be a bad look?

I don't know if he was married or not, since he looked quite old back then.

For a moment, a variety of thoughts filled the girl's budding heart, making her face flush and her steps quicken.

Before she knew it, Mito Uzumaki suddenly realized that she had caught up with her opponent and was now several kilometers away.

A sudden chill ran through him. If he chased after them, they would likely run into each other. If he led Tobirama Senju and the others there, the two of them would be destined to be strangers for the rest of their lives.

He quickly slammed on the brakes and stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong now?"

Tobirama Senju frowned. This guy's speed was inconsistent, and his perception was questionable. Could the Uzumaki clan be trying to get rid of a mediocre guy and hand him over to his older brother?

Sensing Tobirama Senju's subtle malice, Mito Uzumaki was about to retaliate, but then, remembering the familiar face not far ahead, she immediately held back and gave an embarrassed look.

"I've traveled for so long, I need to relieve myself."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reply, he disappeared into the bushes beside him.

What a clever trick to avoid needing to pee!

Mito Uzumaki, now separated from the Senju clan, was in a terrible dilemma. On one hand, she longed for their long-awaited reunion, but on the other hand, she worried about the Senju clan's pursuit and the potential harm to the person she cherished.

"Never mind! I'll just sneak a peek and then leave."

In the end, emotion prevailed over reason, Mito Uzumaki gritted her teeth and said to herself.

Having said that, she made up her mind and ran faster toward Uchiha Gin. Soon she saw the evacuation team in the distance.

However, these were all secondary. Turning her pure black eyes, she carefully scanned the procession of the Feathered Clan until she saw the figure she had been longing for at the end of the procession.

Filled with excitement, I was about to step forward when my last shred of reason forced me to stop.

"No! Tobirama Senju is still behind us. If I don't show up for a long time, he will definitely become suspicious."

Thinking of this, the girl could only regretfully stop, watching from afar but not daring to approach; so close yet so far.

I wonder if he's doing well now?

Mito Uzumaki felt a lump in her throat, a bitter taste rising within her.

"Take one last look, who knows when we'll see each other again."

Mito Uzumaki was well aware that the Uzumaki clan, as distant relatives and allies of the Senju, would never be able to sit at the same table with the Uchiha clan in this lifetime.

With that guy, every meeting is one less time we'll ever see each other.

After thinking it over, she moved forward a little further, wanting to get a clearer look at her beloved.

She wanted to see what the man who had left a deep impression on her six years ago had become.

As a result, the scene before her eyes made her blood boil, her heart race, and her whole body stiffen, especially her famously hard fists, which pounded loudly.

The person she had been longing for actually put his hand into the arms of a young girl, ignoring her pitiful resistance, and instead stretched out another wicked hand, preparing to invade the poor girl's private valley from above.

"Boom!"

Mito Uzumaki, whose name is synonymous with rationality, ultimately couldn't hold on any longer.

The next second, the girl, who had lost her mind, transformed into a red lightning bolt and delivered a swift and powerful blow to the incorrigible human trafficker.

"I swear on the sexual bliss of the Uchiha clan patriarch! If I ever think of another woman, may I be struck dead by lightning!"

"Go to hell, you human trafficker!"
