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

Chapter 139 Uchiha Tajima's Second Spring

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Just as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, several rapidly spinning shuriken suddenly appeared, shooting towards them from outside the arena at an extremely tricky angle.

"Ding~ Bang~"

The target was Hashirama Senju, who was looking conflicted on the wooden dummy. Just as the sharp shuriken was about to hit, a white figure suddenly appeared. With a metallic clang, the deadly shuriken was blocked by the opponent.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, born evil!"

The one who blocked the sword was none other than Tobirama Senju, who was watching from the sidelines. His white hair moved without wind, and his blood-red eyes were filled with ruthless killing intent. He pointed his sword at the person rushing towards him from a distance and said coldly.

"You despicable Thousand Hands, release my brother at once!"

The newcomer was none other than Uchiha Izuna, who arrived late. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tightly furrowed brows could crush a bull. He stared intently at Uchiha Madara, whose body had been hollowed out, raised the long sword in his hand, and said angrily.

I originally thought that my older brother would just go and play around with Hashirama Senju as usual, and come back once he had his fill of fighting.

Why is this time different?

With Izuna's pitiful brain capacity, he couldn't understand even if he racked his brains, why his older brother was taken down in one move.

Could it be that the other party felt they hadn't had enough fun and wanted to kidnap the eldest brother to be their wife?

"Heh, are all the Uchiha clan members this naive? They actually dare to try and gain the enemy's pity."

Tobirama Senju shifted his gaze slightly, his words dripping with sarcasm as he stared intently at Izuna Uchiha's wildly spiky hair, making a silent comparison in his mind.

As expected! All the Uchiha with long, straight black hair are bad seeds.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Enraged by Tobirama Senju's ease, Izuna Uchiha immediately stretched out his hands and formed hand seals. As the last Tiger Seal ended, scorching chakra brewed in his mouth.

As the chakra was compressed and refined, a ball of orange-red flame shot out from his mouth, aimed directly at Tobirama Senju, who had a mocking expression on his face.

"Hmph! Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

Looking at the menacing flames, Tobirama Senju smiled contemptuously. "That mere Izuna Uchiha dares to show off his skills in front of me? Take my mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

Tobirama Senju calmly raised his hand, made three simple hand seals, and a dense mist appeared around him. As his thoughts arose, the mist transformed into a stream of water, which then transformed into a water dragon, rushing towards Izuna Uchiha's Great Fireball Technique.

"Boom~~~"

The scorching fireball collided with the rushing water dragon, instantly evaporating a large amount of water vapor, which enveloped the entire battlefield like a mist.

"Phew~ Where did that kid go?"

With his vision completely obscured by the mist, Uchiha Izuna opened his Sharingan and cautiously searched for Senju Tobirama's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju, who had taken the opportunity to hide in the distance, looked thoughtful. He took out a kunai with inscriptions written on it from behind his back, considered it for a moment, and then put it away.

No, that technique isn't perfect yet. If it fails, I might die.

The advantage is now in my hands!

The meticulous Tobirama Senju did not choose to take the risk. Madara Uchiha had already been captured, and Izuna Uchiha was no match for him.

"Swish swish~"

Having changed his mind, Tobirama Senju casually tossed two kunai at the wary Izuna Uchiha.

"Underestimating me?"

Uchiha Izuna casually flicked away two kunai, frowning as he said that this slight visual obstruction was nothing in front of his invincible Sharingan.

"Prepare to die, Tobirama Senju!"

Tobirama Senju's whereabouts were exposed because of the kunai he threw. Izuna Uchiha, worried about his brother's safety, grabbed his sword and chased after Tobirama to where he was hiding.

"Bang!"

As the second-ranking swordsman of the Senju clan, Tobirama Senju was naturally not afraid of Izuna Uchiha. He drew his long sword and grappled with Izuna, the clanging of metal ringing out incessantly.

"Madara, give up!"

Controlling the wooden puppet, Hashirama Senju lifted the weakened Madara Uchiha in front of him. His eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at his former best friend. He had a thousand words stuck in his throat, but when it came to his lips, he could only manage to utter three words with difficulty.

"Don't even think about it, hot mom of Hasi. I've lost this time. Do whatever you want with me."

Despite being nearly drained of his life by the wooden puppet, Madara Uchiha remained defiant, showing no fear in the face of Hashirama Senju, who had subdued him in a single move.

"Mada, I'm the clan chief now!"

Remembering the mission he now bore, Hashirama Senju spoke.

Hashirama Senju wanted to tell Madara Uchiha that he could now decide any decision the Senju clan made, and even making peace with the Uchiha clan was not impossible.

"Hmph! What's so great about being a clan leader?"

Upon hearing that the other party had actually become the clan leader, a hint of surprise flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.

We promised to grow old together, but you secretly got a hair treatment.

"If it weren't for the old man's incredible luck, I would have been the clan chief long ago!"

Enraged, Madara Uchiha turned his head away, leaving half of the back of his head exposed to the other party.

Uchiha Tajima: Born! Born!

"Uh, that's not what I meant, don't misunderstand."

Thinking that the other party had misunderstood what he said, Hashirama Senju quickly waved his hand, indicating that he should listen to his explanation.

"Hmph! I won't listen! I won't listen!"

Madara Uchiha simply closed his eyes. He was furious just looking at this guy. He was a clan leader who had come all the way here to show off. Madara was ashamed to be associated with him.

"Ah~ the motor's running, I..."

Somewhat at a loss due to Madara Uchiha's tough attitude, he could only try to pull the other party closer and clear up the misunderstanding.

"Swish~ swish~ swish!"

Just as the wooden puppet was about to bring Uchiha Madara to Senju Hashirama's mouth, a figure rushed into the scene at an extremely fast speed. With a flash of golden light, Senju Hashirama's wooden puppet had its huge arm sliced ​​off by that dazzling golden light.

"Thump!!!"

The wooden figure, which was holding Madara Uchiha's arm, fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The suddenly appearing figure seized the opportunity to grab the dazed Uchiha Madara, flashed behind Uchiha Izuna, and spoke.

"Izuna, retreat!"

A familiar voice rang in Uchiha Izuna's ears; the person who had just arrived was Uchiha Tajima, who was on an inspection tour of the front lines.

"Uchiha Tajima!"

When Tobirama Senju saw that it was actually Uchiha Tajima who had come in person, his heart tightened, and the long sword he was about to swing suddenly stopped.

"Father???"

Deflecting the blade thrust by Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha did not linger in the fight, but retreated a few steps to his father's side.

Looking at Uchiha Tajima, whose aura was completely different from before, he was surprised. When did his father become so fierce?

"Take Ban and go first, I'll hold them off."

Looking at the imposing wooden doll, Uchiha Tajima was encountering this kind of ninjutsu for the first time, and a faint sense of unease flashed through his heart.

He then handed the unconscious Uchiha Madara to Izuna and faced the menacing Senju clan alone.

"Ugh~ Father, be careful."

Seeing his elder brother barely breathing, Izuna knew that staying behind would only be a burden, so he decisively carried Uchiha Madara on his back and ran towards the Uchiha camp.

"Big brother, did you see it clearly?"

In a flash, Tobirama Senju appeared beside Hashirama Senju, his expression grave as he looked at the solitary Uchiha Tajima, and asked,

"No, I've never seen that escape technique before."

Hashirama Senju naturally knew what his younger brother was asking, but the incident happened so suddenly that he only saw a golden light descend from the sky and instantly sever the large hand of the Arhat Wood Man, without recognizing the method used by Tajima Uchiha.

"You brat from the Senju family, I never expected you to become the clan leader."

Uchiha Tajima spoke in a cold tone, his crimson eyes radiating a chilling aura.

He stared intently at the wooden figure before him, watching it slowly grow a new arm, its imposing presence undiminished.

"Moreover, you seem to be much stronger than your father."

Hashirama Senju was enveloped in almost tangible chakra, which Tajima Uchiha could clearly sense even without activating his Sharingan.

This kind of aura alone is far superior to that of Thousand Hands Butsuma, whom he fought many times back then.

"No, I am far inferior to my father."

With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, Hashirama Senju looked at Tajima Uchiha with a serious expression, showing no sign of panic, and spoke.

"Tsk, what a hypocritical brat. But if Madara were like you, I could retire."

Uchiha Tajima shook his head, looking at the aura rising from Senju Hashirama, and gave a harsh critique of his good-for-nothing eldest son.

Comparisons are odious. Although Thousand-Handed Buddha died young, his son is quite successful.

"Big brother, be careful, that old Uchiha is acting strangely."

From the very beginning, Tobirama Senju stared intently at the expressionless Tajima Uchiha, trying to discern some clues from him, only to find that the other man had no flaws whatsoever.

"Um."

Hashirama Senju's perception was not weak; he could clearly sense the cold and obscure aura emanating from Tajima Uchiha.

Although he was a little nervous, he did not back down. He immediately began to refine the Chatonla, and his closed palms shone with a bright blue light.

As the giant wooden figure channeled its chakra, it swung out a ferocious wooden dragon that swept towards the stunned Uchiha Tajima.

"I wonder if Gintoki knows this technique?"

As the wooden dragon's massive jaws were about to devour him, Uchiha Tajima was thinking of something else entirely.

If Gintoki also knew this technique, then the Uchiha clan would have dominated the Sengoku period!

"Luckily, my eyes have recovered, otherwise I would have been really helpless against such a big guy."

Uchiha Tajima raised his head, his crimson eyes filled with indifference, after all, he was now qualified to fight a giant battle.

"Isn't he going to dodge? Does he want to die?"

Tobirama Senju, who had been watching the battle intently, observed Uchiha Tajima being carried away by the wooden dragon and asked with some confusion,

"Then I'll show you the power of the Sharingan."

The three tomoe in Uchiha Tajima's Sharingan began to rotate and merge, eventually transforming into the pattern of a shuriken.

He glanced at the wooden dragon, and the golden light from before reappeared. A golden blade descended from the sky and instantly annihilated the arrogant wooden dragon.

"You little devils of the Senju clan, do you believe in the light?"
