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

"I woke up suddenly and saw Xiaomeng fighting two people at once."

Uchiha Gin pinched his thigh, his lifeless, dead fish eyes widening in disbelief.

"Boom!"

In the canyon, a giant, red with silver hues, confronted two ferocious mechanical behemoths. With the slightest movement of its massive body, the fragile earth immediately emitted a deafening roar.

"Xia!"

Tobirama Senju, adopting a defensive stance, uttered unintelligible sounds, his oval eyes scanning left and right, constantly watching the movements of the Silver and Gold Brothers.

"roar!"

The silver and gold brothers exchanged a glance, tacitly refraining from making a move.

Without understanding the power of the red giant before them, they chose to remain still and wait for the inevitable to unfold.

Is this the power after transforming?

Taking advantage of the moment when the two brothers were wary, Tobirama Senju sensed the terrifying power of his transformed state. After a brief moment of shock, he began to analyze the core operation of this transformation system.

"It's similar to a chakra compression and re-manifestation technique..."

A glint flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes, as if he had some guesses about the transformation system.

but……

Seeing himself also turn into intangible chakra particles, Tobirama Senju completely gave up thinking.

This isn't within his area of ​​expertise; he'll ask someone who isn't a specialist when he gets back.

"Achoo!"

Uchiha Gin, who was eagerly anticipating the multi-dimensional battle, suddenly felt an itch on his nose, sneezed violently, and then scratched his head thoughtfully.

"A whole minute has passed, aren't you going to start?"

With his gaze falling on the three unmoving figures, Uchiha Gin frowned slightly. The Omnipotent Transformation Bracelet had a time limit: three minutes, not a second more or less.

"They'd rather do nothing than make a mistake."

If Tobirama Senju doesn't do something in these precious three minutes, he'll have no choice but to dedicate a sad song to the white-haired man and wish him a safe journey.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

While confronting the Silver and Gold Brothers, Tobirama Senju suddenly noticed a problem: the light particles floating around him were disappearing at a visible speed.

He initially thought it was just his imagination, but the emptiness that gripped his heart seemed genuine. Tobirama Senju's heart sank; he knew he couldn't delay any longer.

xia!

With this in mind, Tobirama Senju stopped cowering and swung several light darts at the relatively weaker Ginkaku.

"Whoosh~"

"Bang!"

"Roar! Ah~ Meow!"

Caught off guard by the light dart hitting his face, Silver Horn cried out in pain. A dazzling burst of flames immediately erupted from his body, followed by wisps of pungent black smoke.

"He picked it up pretty quickly, no wonder he's an old fox."

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. Senju Tobirama truly lived up to his reputation as one of Konoha's top geniuses, managing to grasp Ultraman's fighting style so quickly.

"roar!"

Kinkaku couldn't stand by and watch his younger brother be bullied, so he immediately manipulated the machine eight tails to rush towards Senju Tobirama, the electric drill horn on his head emitting a piercing roar.

xia!

Upon spotting the mechanical Eight-Tails attacking from behind, Tobirama Senju immediately abandoned his attack on the drowning cat and leaped high into the air.

After tumbling several times in the air, it used the force of gravity to deliver a swallow-style flying kick to the wide-open Machine Eight-Tail behind it.

"boom!"

Kinkaku felt a sharp pain in his back; the kick that came from above almost made him cough up his ink. Enduring the pain, he manipulated the mechanical tentacles to extend upwards and grab Tobirama Senju's ankle.

"Hmph! Gotcha!"

The mechanical tentacles climbed up the leg with great dexterity, and were about to invade the triangle area. Senju Tobirama's hair stood on end, and his brain raced as he searched for a way out.

Looking at his empty hands, Tobirama Senju thought fiercely.

If I had a knife right now, I'd turn this wretched guy into a steak and takoyaki set meal.

As soon as this thought arose, Tobirama Senju felt a burning sensation in his arm.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could react, a crimson lightsaber suddenly extended, its blade radiating a sharp light, clearly a peerless sword capable of cutting through gold and jade.

Without a second thought, Tobirama Senju raised the lightsaber on his arm and unleashed his signature swordsmanship.

With several blinding flashes of light, the grotesque mechanical tentacles snapped off one by one, falling to the ground with a mournful buzzing sound.

"what!"

Kinkaku, who shared senses with the Eight-Tails, couldn't help but cry out in pain. These tentacles were equivalent to his five limbs.

Each broken limb is a painful loss, let alone eight broken at once. The phantom limb pain is indescribable to most people.

After landing gracefully, Tobirama Senju flicked the sticky ink off his lightsaber and pointed the tip at the Silver Brothers, one covering his face and the other his buttocks.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Tobirama Senju was not the kind of person to procrastinate. Given the opportunity, he would definitely seize it. So he brandished his lightsaber and approached the two at an extremely fast speed. With a swift stroke, he was about to cut off their cat and bull heads.

"Bang!"

But things didn't go as planned. Despite the excruciating pain, Golden Horn raised its horns and used the rapidly spinning electric drill to stop the falling lightsaber.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing that his lightsaber was about to suffer the same fate as Mirror's, Tobirama Senju, quick-witted and agile, immediately withdrew his hand, took a few steps back to create distance, and looked for the next opportunity to attack.

"Ginkaku, are you feeling better?"

Controlling the tailed beast's chakra to begin restoring the tentacles, Kinkaku inquired about his younger brother's condition with concern.

"Damn white hair, my eyes!"

Silver Horn straightened up, cursing. The part of his face that was emitting black smoke had almost recovered, with only a few stubble whiskers still slowly growing back.

"Don't underestimate him; he's even more troublesome than the previous blue one."

Golden Horn warned in a deep voice, and Silver Horn did not refute, but nodded in deep agreement.

"Attack together!"

The two brothers, having rallied their spirits, decided to join forces to fight the enemy. Ginkaku took the lead, controlling the machine Two-Tails to leap high into the air and unleash several black Tailed Beast Bullets at Tobirama Senju, who was raising his sword.

Seeing the incoming light projectiles, Tobirama Senju calmly flicked his wrist and fired several light darts. The two collided and exploded in mid-air, and the smoke that obscured the view instantly filled the entire battlefield.

"Whoosh~"

Enveloped in smoke, Tobirama Senju held his sword protectively to his chest, remaining extremely vigilant. However, a tentacle bypassed his line of sight, crawling in from a tricky angle and suddenly wrapping around his ankle.

xia!

Tobirama Senju's alarm bells rang loudly, and he immediately raised his lightsaber, ready to make Kinkaku suffer the pain of having his roots severed once more.

But the instant he raised his sword, a silver figure lunged out from behind him, and the tentacles beneath its feet exerted force at the same time, causing the red giant's body to fall uncontrollably to the ground.

"Boom!"

"hateful!"

Having been taken down by the perfectly coordinated attack of the Silver and Gold Brothers, Tobirama Senju dared not relax for a moment. In the instant he fell, he turned over, landing on his back first.

Before he could catch his breath, what came into view was the bloody maw of the mechanical two-tailed creature, its sharp teeth made of refined steel gleaming with a cold light.

At the critical moment, Tobirama Senju turned his head, causing the Machine Two-Tails' gaping maw to miss its target. Ginkaku, naturally, wouldn't give up easily; if he couldn't bite the head, he could bite somewhere else.

"Pfft!"

He immediately bit down on Tobirama Senju's shoulder. The sharp teeth pierced his flesh, and even a man of iron would cry out in pain; Tobirama Senju was no exception.

"Forehead!"

With a muffled groan, he endured the pain and swung his lightsaber. Silver Horn had no choice but to loosen his grip and jump backward, while Gold Horn also wisely loosened his ankle and disappeared into the smoke.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

Clutching his shoulder, Tobirama Senju stood up, turning to look at the chakra particles emanating from his wound, his heart sinking.

Sensing that his time was running out, Tobirama Senju prepared for a swift victory. He began by rapidly swinging his lightsaber in a spiral motion.

A hurricane rose up from the spot, instantly blowing away the surrounding smoke and dust, and at the same time revealing the location of the Silver and Gold Brothers.

"Whoosh~"

Tobirama Senju once again drew his sword and charged forward. Knowing that a close-quarters battle was unavoidable, the Silver and Gold Brothers controlled their mechanical tailed beasts to meet the enemy. The clash between the lightsabers and the machinery sparked countless flashes of light in the darkness, like celebratory fireworks.

The red giant moved nimbly between the two mechanical behemoths, its lightsaber sending countless fragments flying with each swing—the scene was incredibly intense.

"Bang!"

Silver Tiger fell to the ground, its body covered in wounds, large and small. Silver Horn's eyes blazed with fire, but more than that, they felt helpless. Tobirama Senju's swordsmanship was indeed outstanding, and the two brothers were finding it difficult to defeat him in a short time.

"Big brother, use that one!"

Left with no other option, Ginkaku spoke up to make a suggestion. Kinkaku, who was locked in combat with Tobirama Senju, immediately retreated to create distance. Turning to look at his younger brother, whose face was grave, Kinkaku pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

What are they going to do?

Looking at the two brothers who were behaving strangely, Tobirama Senju felt a sense of unease. Sensing the few remaining chakra particles in his body, he knew that he could not delay any longer.

With a wave of his hand, Tobirama Senju dispersed the lightsaber and mobilized the few remaining chakra particles within his body, gathering them on his arms.

Not far away, the Silver and Gold Brothers also reached a consensus. The two steel behemoths stood in a row, simultaneously opening their massive mouths, within which unstable black energy condensed.

Once the energy was compressed to its limit, the Silver and Gold Brothers were the first to complete the casting. The black energy from their mouths merged into one, condensing into a massive black Tailed Beast Ball in front of them, its surface shimmering with visible, violent energy.

"Super Tailed Beast Ball!"

The super-sized Tailed Beast Ball released by the Silver and Gold Brothers is several times more powerful than a regular Tailed Beast Ball, capable of turning everything within a hundred miles into ashes in a single strike.

"roar!"

Seeing that the skill had been successfully condensed, the Silver and Gold Brothers exclaimed at the same time, and the huge Tailed Beast Ball rushed towards Tobirama Senju with unstoppable force, leveling everything in its path by the destructive aura emanating from the black light sphere.

"Xia!"

Faced with life and death, Tobirama Senju did not choose to back down. He placed his right hand on the bracelet on his left wrist, turned the inlaid red gemstone, and poured his concentrated energy into it. Then he spread his arms overhead in a figure-eight shape, and finally put his hands together in a cross shape.

"Boom!"

Instantly, a golden light poured out, crashing directly into the enormous Tailed Beast Ball and halting the black sphere's advance.

However, before he could show any joy, the black orb of light began to move again. Seeing this, Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth and drew out the little energy he had left in his body, the golden light tinged with a hint of scarlet.

"roar!"

The silver and gold brothers exchanged a glance. Having just unleashed the Super Tailed Beast Ball, they were unable to release any other skills for the time being. So, they leaped forward, preparing to attack Tobirama Senju's main body, leaving him no time to defend against the Tailed Beast Ball's attack.

"How could I collapse here?!"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Just as the sharp tiger claws and spiraling bull horns were about to fall, Tobirama Senju unleashed unprecedented energy. The golden light in his hand became incredibly thick, instantly piercing through the black Tailed Beast Ball. After a brief silence, a mushroom cloud rose above the canyon.

As the scorching heat completely dissipated, the battlefield was unrecognizable, with waves of heat reaching over a thousand degrees Celsius engulfing the entire canyon.

The already sparse vegetation within a hundred meters was directly carbonized, the fragile rocks were burned to a charred black, and the three huge figures were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never been there.

"Cough cough cough"

With a violent coughing fit, an arm burst from the scorched earth, and Golden Horn, clad in armor, crawled out, his eyes filled with the bewilderment of someone who had survived a calamity.

"Oh, right, Silverhorn!"

Golden Horn froze for a few seconds before realizing his teammate was missing. He immediately began searching and eventually found Silver Horn unconscious under a rock wall.

"Clap clap clap~"

Worried that his younger brother might never wake up again, Jinjiao immediately slapped his big face several times, making the hard mask clang loudly.

"Brother, is this a sacred land?"

Silver Horn groggily opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his older brother's concerned gaze. His whole body ached, and he murmured, "..."

"Idiot, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

With a disgruntled pursed mouth, Kinkaku tossed Ginkaku aside, stood up, and began searching for Tobirama Senju.

"Could it have run away there?!"

After searching around to no avail, Kinkaku began to speculate about Tobirama Senju's movements, only to discover a figure lying motionless on the ground not far from him.

Upon closer inspection, just as he had expected, it was none other than Tobirama Senju, with whom they had been entangled for a long time.

"Is he/she dead?"

He bent down and carefully observed Tobirama Senju's condition, discovering that he was severely burned all over his body, with not a single patch of undamaged skin, and his chest was completely still. There was no fluctuation in his physical signs or aura.

"He actually died like that?"

After a long silence, Jinjiao slowly stood up. His huge eyes were filled with confusion. When an unattainable goal was achieved, all that remained in his heart was endless emptiness.

"Phew~"

After letting out a long sigh, Jinjiao did not choose to desecrate the corpse. After all, he was a powerful figure of respectability, and he simply could not bring himself to do such a despicable thing as desecrating a corpse.

Unable to find his lost Nine-Tailed Fox Card on the other person, Kinkaku had no choice but to give up. After taking one last deep look at Tobirama Senju's corpse, he turned and approached Ginkaku.

"Brother, why aren't you finishing him off?"

Silver Horn blinked in confusion.

"There's no need, he's already dead."

The aura of depletion didn't lie; Tobirama Senju had indeed died in their battle. Kinkaku pulled Ginkaku up, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

"Let's go back to the village."

After the two brothers left, a large black door opened beside Tobirama Senju's corpse, and Gin Uchiha slowly walked out from it.

Looking down at the lifeless white-haired man, he suddenly felt a mix of emotions. Although the two had some personal grudges, they were, after all, fellow villagers from the same village and even related by blood.

"Ah~ White Hair, let me give you a grand funeral~"

Uchiha Gin shook his head, clasped his hands together, and prepared to make a fine coffin for Senju Tobirama. However, before his Wood Release chakra could condense, he felt a slight tremor emanating from the white-haired man in front of him.

"No way? You can come back to life?"

They were practically reaching out to pull open Tobirama Senju's eyelids to see if there were any black tomoe in his scarlet eyes, wondering if this kid had secretly transplanted Sharingan into them to be able to revive by inserting a coin.

"Whoosh!"

Before even getting close, Uchiha Gin saw a scorching aura emanating from the red bracelet on Senju Tobirama's wrist. A wisp of dark red chakra rose from it, then condensed into a huge fox head.

"Huh? I just connected to the internet, why is the screen black now?"

The fox-headed creature's fierce eyes held a hint of bewilderment as it looked down at the lifeless Tobirama Senju. For a moment, it was speechless.

I was excited to log into my alt account and have some fun, but before I could even get into it, it showed that my character had died.

The moment the Nine-Tails' chakra appeared, Uchiha Gin entered the Shadow Realm, watching with great interest as the Nine-Tails scratched its head and ears.

"Phew~ This guy was pretty good. It's a shame he died like this."

Having grasped the situation, Kurama's narrow fox eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Having previously glimpsed Tobirama Senju's memories, it knew he was a good person in some way.

That's right. As long as you target Uchiha Madara, in Kurama's eyes, you are the best person in the world.

"This clone's energy should be enough."

After much deliberation, the Nine-Tails made a decision that defied its ancestors. Gritting its teeth, it extracted all the chakra from this Nine-Tails clone and poured it into Tobirama Senju's body. The body, which had been devoid of life force, gradually regained its vitality.

"Crunch~"

Just as Kurama was struggling to revive Tobirama Senju, a crisp cracking sound rang out. The All-Powerful Transformation Bracelet on Tobirama's wrist was showing signs of cracking, and the red gemstone embedded in its center was visibly dimming.

"So, this prototype couldn't withstand such strong power after all?"

Uchiha Gin in the Shadow Realm shook his head thoughtfully upon seeing this scene. The transformation device he gave to Mirror was originally a prototype used to test its strength, and it was indeed somewhat insufficient for the Nine-Tails' current strength.

"Hmm"

Fortunately, just before the bracelet completely broke, Tobirama Senju let out a faint groan. Kurama wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and looked at the white-haired man gradually regaining consciousness with satisfaction.

"As expected of the most loving tailed beast, I'm sure the old man in heaven will be pleased~"

Pure Land

The Sage of Six Paths, lying on the massage chair, opened his eyes in confusion.

"Huh? Wasn't there just a descendant of Asura reporting for duty? He's gone in the blink of an eye?"

I finally found a decent soul, and I was planning to keep it for future use!

"Don't let me find out which bastard stole my soul!"

A hint of displeasure appeared on his face. The Sage of Six Paths slowly closed his eyes again, and the massage hands beneath his buttocks began their frantic work once more.

"Hey~ That's awesome!"

"Is this a pure land?"

With difficulty, Tobirama Senju opened his eyes and looked at the dark night sky. His somewhat sluggish brain began to function, and feeling the pain in his body, he slowly raised one hand.

"No, I'm still alive."

After resting on the ground for a while and regaining some strength, Tobirama Senju propped himself up. Looking at the ravaged canyon around him, his expression quickly changed. His memory was still stuck on the time when he clashed with the Silver Brothers' Tailed Beast Balls.

All he remembered was a scorching wave of air blowing towards him. Just then, he couldn't maintain his transformation, so he reverted to human form and landed on the ground, where he was immediately engulfed by the intense light.

Did you save my life?

Knowing that his mortal body couldn't survive under those conditions, Tobirama Senju immediately focused his gaze on the bracelet on his wrist. Looking at the transformation bracelet, which was riddled with cracks and had dull gemstones, he quickly guessed what had happened.

"That curly hair isn't entirely without merit."

He forcibly attributed the credit for his own survival to Uchiha Gin. If Kurama, who is thousands of miles away, knew this, he would probably curse him for three days and three nights.

"It's a pity about this ninja tool."

Judging from the bracelet's appearance, it didn't seem like it could be repaired. Tobirama Senju sighed, took it off, and stuffed it into his backpack, completely forgetting that he had promised Kagami Uchiha.

"After returning to the village, I will do some research and try to replicate one of my own, making it a perfect 1:1 replica."

With his injuries almost fully healed, Tobirama Senju used his sensory abilities and found that he had completely recovered. Countless Flying Thunder God coordinates appeared in his mind.

It seemed the explosion had disrupted the sealing technique set up by the Silver and Gold Brothers. Tobirama Senju was overjoyed and immediately locked the coordinates to Konoha Village.

"Whoosh~"

A flash of blue light, and Tobirama Senju vanished from his spot.

"Hurry up, everyone! The teacher is waiting for us to get reinforcements!"

A small team of six sped through the forests of the Land of Fire. They were all pale-faced and bore various injuries. Hiruzen Sarutobi, running at the front, anxiously shouted to his teammates behind him.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the group perked up without any objection and continued their journey. After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the gates of Konoha as dawn broke.

"You are"

Today's gate guard was an unknown commoner ninja. Seeing the anxious expressions on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, he waved to stop them from trying to force their way through the gate.

"We've come to get reinforcements! Go and inform Lord Kagefusa immediately!"

Without bothering to argue with the gatekeeper, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly asked him to pass on a message. Then, worried that the gatekeeper might not take it seriously, he added, "..."

"If we don't hurry, the village secretary is going to die!"

"."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper, who was about to deliver the urgent message, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the anxious group with a very strange expression. His hand quietly reached for the signal flare behind him.

"Say it again, I didn't hear you!"

Out of caution, the security guard asked again.

"Our village secretary is in a fierce battle to save us! Hurry and gather reinforcements to help!"

Time waits for no one; the later they arrive, the greater the danger for Tobirama Senju.

"Whoosh! Snap!"

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the gatekeeper immediately sounded the alarm, and the peaceful and tranquil Konoha Village suddenly became lively.

"Is Lee Jae-gan some kind of supernatural being?"

"You audacious spy! Surrender at once! The village secretary was back last night!" (End of Chapter)
