Inside the room, the Anbu members who sensed the presence of the First Hokage's chakra within the barrier waited for Tobirama Senju's arrival.
Tobirama Senju led the Anbu into the house and immediately attempted to enter Uchiha Bufan's body.
—In the end, it failed.
"how so?!"
Tobirama Senju's face showed an expression of disbelief, considering that he had previously entered the inner space of a powerful being.
At that moment, an Anbu member who had come with Tobirama Senju spoke up, "Could it be that the Second Hokage's stats aren't high enough?"
They now refer to 'favorability rating' as 'numerical value' for easier intelligence recording.
“That’s possible. Are you sure you detected the First Hokage’s chakra entering this room?” Tobirama Senju looked intently at the ANBU ninja guarding the room.
The ANBU ninja nodded. "I'm sure."
Instantly, Tobirama Senju was filled with endless sighs, and could only pray that his older brother could find his own opportunity in the world of One Piece.
evening.
The members who participated in the "Participant" instance returned, and the Konoha ninjas gave Tobirama Senju a brief report.
Upon learning that Hashirama Senju had gone on an adventure to another world because of Madara Uchiha's death, the expressions on the faces of the members were all uncertain.
Uzuki Yugao was somewhat inclined to go.
"This time I acquired a wonderful sword technique and the Navy's Six Styles Moon Walk, greatly increasing my strength. I think I should be qualified to go to another world to explore."
[Swordsman Ranking: Ordinary Swordsman → Swordsman (currently Zoro) → Iron-Cutting Realm (Uzuki Yugao, Samui) → Sword Master Realm (Using a preferred weapon combined with one's own strength, such as Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki, to create sword aura attacks) → Great Swordsman (Can use sword aura with any weapon and possesses extremely high swordsmanship. Currently only Mihawk has this rank)]
“I…” Kana Uzumaki hesitated, worried about leaving her daughter alone here. Yakumo Kurama patted Kana Uzumaki on the shoulder, “Isn’t Lady Tsunade here? And since Lady Tsunade has decided to stay, let’s entrust Karin to her.”
"That's not a good idea." Kana Uzumaki scratched her head awkwardly, while Tobirama Senju knew that the sooner they set off, the better, as they might still have a chance to catch up with his older brother, so he agreed on Tsunade's behalf.
"Go! I appoint you as the third squad in this other world. Your mission is to find the First Hokage, protect him, and incidentally find that brat, Uchiha Fufan."
"Yes!" x3
The three had no objections, since there was still no definite news about Uchiha Bufan—Hancock and the others had concealed the news about Amazon Lily, intending to confirm it before informing Tsunade.
Soon after, the village gates welcomed Tsunade's resurrected team once again.
Seeing the towering city walls and the many novel buildings inside, Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Izuna, two old-timers from the past, exclaimed in amazement.
"Alright, let's go in. First, let's go to the resurrection area to get our 'identity certificate'."
If it weren't for her great-grandfather, Tsunade wouldn't have bothered to personally lead the resurrected people to register.
After Tsunade finished processing the certificate for Senju Butsuma at the resurrection center, she turned to Uchiha Izuna, who was pondering where to write his ancestral home and didn't know how to fill out the form. "Just fill it out however you like. After you finish filling it out, you'll receive the certificate from the Konoha ninja, and then a ninja will take you to your residence."
"A place to live? Doesn't our Uchiha clan have any clan land?" Uchiha Izuna stared wide-eyed, his tone incredulous.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade realized that she hadn't yet explained the Uchiha clan massacre to Izuna.
Jiraiya, who had easily filled out the registration form, handed it to a Chunin staff member wearing a green vest, then patted Uchiha Izuna on the shoulder, saying, "I forgot to tell you, buddy. Your clan is gone."
"?"
The pen fell from Uchiha Izuna's hand. Senju Butsuma suppressed a laugh and asked in a low voice that Uchiha Izuna could hear.
"Was the family wiped out?"
Tsunade nodded helplessly.
"Hahaha—" Senju Butsuma was overjoyed, his mood instantly improving after being mocked. "It's alright, it's just the extermination of a clan. We can just have more children then."
Uchiha Izuna retorted sarcastically, his face darkening. "You talk as if your Senju clan is so much better."
Instantly, Senju Butsuma's face darkened, and he turned to Tsunade, "Where is the Hokage's office?! I'm going to give that brat a good talking to!"
Tsunade was on the verge of a breakdown. She pointed in a direction and saw her great-grandfather walking so fast that she hadn't had a chance to warn him that there were Anbu members in the Hokage's office and that it was best not to barge in.
Seeing that her great-grandfather had run far away, Tsunade was too lazy to chase after him.
Destroy it!
She looked at Izuna and suggested two options, "Now you have two places to stay. One is to go to the Senju clan's territory, and the other is..."
“The other one.” Uchiha Izuna chose the second one without hesitation.
"Your father lives in the Senju clan's territory. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"So what... huh?! I'm going! I'm going to the Senju clan's territory." Uchiha Izuna never expected that the first one to betray him would be his own father. He missed his father terribly; the image of his father in his memory was long gone. Now he could finally reminisce about him in reality.
Hokage Building.
After seeing off those who participated in the dungeon, Tobirama Senju continued to worry about the village's development.
"Expansion is an option, but we can significantly reduce expenses by having Earth Release ninjas contribute their labor..." Upon seeing Kakashi's plan, Tobirama Senju immediately understood that only by involving ninjas in the production industry could the village's development be accelerated.
Therefore, by utilizing ninjas to develop production and establish economic transactions, trade relations between countries were promoted, which gradually solidified Konoha's position in the ninja world.
Just as he thought he could have a meeting to discuss the expense, a loud bang came from outside the building, so loud that he accidentally tore the document in his hand in half, and some dust fell from the walls and ceiling.
"That bastard dared to attack the Hokage Building!" Tobirama Senju was also surprised. It was already the end of the 57th year of Konoha, and they were preparing for the 58th year of the New Year. How could there be an idiot attacking Konoha Village?
He got up and went to the edge of the window. Senju Tobirama appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was furious as he looked at the scene outside the window.
The next second, his calm red eyes widened suddenly, and he rubbed them vigorously, only to realize that he wasn't dreaming.
"Hold the grass!"
wow-
The window was opened, and Tobirama Senju shouted at the Anbu members surrounding Butsuma Senju below, "Stop!!"
In an instant, the observing ANBU immediately retreated, and the ninjas who were close to Senju Butsuma and had drawn their swords also distanced themselves from him.
"Very well, is this the subordinate you've trained?! Tobirama!"
From the third-floor window, Tobirama Senju covered his face and asked, "Father, how did you come back to life?"
Upon hearing this, the Anbu immediately realized that this was the father of the Second Hokage. They exchanged glances, those who had drawn their weapons immediately sheathed them and pretended nothing had happened, while the other ninjas returned to their posts as if they hadn't seen anything.
Senju Butsuma looked at the well-trained ninja squad, nodded slightly, but then frowned. "Tobirama, are these the ninjas who have integrated the bloodline of the Senju clan?"
"That's not how it works, Father. Please come up first," Tobirama Senju said helplessly.
Senju Butsuma nodded and, guided by the Anbu, went down the stairs to the Hokage's office. He had a conversation with Senju Tobirama in the reception room next to the Hokage's office. Not long after, a sound of someone's butt being slapped came from inside, but the Anbu at the door pretended not to hear it.
While following a Konoha genin to the Senju clan's territory, Uchiha Izuna happened to see members of the security force enforcing the law. Moreover, the security personnel had Uchiha markings on their shoulders and the back of their high-collared robes. He couldn't help but pat the Konoha genin on the shoulder and say, "Hey! You guys aren't lying, are you? That guy over there is definitely an Uchiha ninja."
A Konoha genin looked over, sighed helplessly, blinked, and said again when he opened his eyes, "Uchiha guy, those aren't real Uchiha..."
In his line of sight, Uchiha Izuna arrived at the front guard post as if nothing had happened. The Konoha genin immediately turned his head to look to the side, trying to make the scene in front of him appear as an illusion.
"Holy crap, how did you move so fast? I wasn't even finished speaking..."
The Konoha genin dared not approach, and could only stand at a distance, praying that this guy wouldn't die right after filling out the identity registration form, otherwise his E-rank mission would fail immediately.
E-level missions are the newest type of missions, priced between 100 and 5000 taels of silver. They replace some D-level missions that require a team to complete. For example, this mission to lead someone to the clan's territory offers 100 taels of silver—practically free credit—so he definitely accepted it.
As a result, you promoted me to a Super A-level mission...
'Uchiha Tetsuka' led the team, asking the street vendors to clear some space so as not to obstruct other people's passage.
The vendor nodded politely, afraid of displeasing the Uchiha elder and being fined. In serious cases, he might even lose his life.
"I'll move it right away, I'll move it right away." The fruit vendor reclaimed some of the street space he was taking up, squeezing the fruit boxes into the wall.
Seeing that the boss was sensible, 'Uchiha Tekka' did not punish him. After all, the law stipulates that such a small matter does not need to be punished as long as the person cooperates.
If the next team goes around and the owner puts the oranges out again, then it's time to give the owner a taste of the loyalty.
"Hey, you're a ninja from the Uchiha clan, right?"
The pressure on his shoulders put Uchiha Tetsuka on high alert, and the two Chunin Uchiha on either side immediately placed their hands on the hilts of their ninja swords, ready to attack at any moment.
Uchiha Tetsuka slowly turned his head and saw a black-eyed boy with short, spiky black hair. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you in the village before."
Uchiha Izuna looked around at the pedestrians who had strange expressions and wanted to get away, pointed to himself, and said, "Me? I'm also from the Uchiha clan."
"Are you from the Uchiha clan?" Uchiha Tetsuka thought that although his memory was still good, the boy in front of him was too unfamiliar. He stretched out his hand, "Give me your identification."
"Oh, oh, oh." Uchiha Izuna took out the newly printed identity document from his pocket and handed it to Uchiha Tetsuka.
Uchiha Tetsuka checked the book and found that it did indeed have the village registration office's stamp. He nodded slightly, stamped the identification document, and said, "At your age, what are you doing wandering around the village if you're not going to become a ninja! Don't interfere with the work of the security department."
Then, Uchiha Tetsuka chased Uchiha Izuna away like a child.
Just as Uchiha Izuna walked a few steps away with an innocent look on his face, and the Konoha genin felt a weight lift from his heart, Uchiha Tekka's voice rang out again.
"Wait a minute!"
Uchiha Izuna shrank back. Although he might be older than Uchiha Tetsuka, he didn't know why, but he always felt a sense of unease when talking to Uchiha Tetsuka. "What's wrong?"
He turned his head and looked at Uchiha Tetsuka, who was pulling a money pouch out of his pocket.
Uchiha Tetsuka took out a 1,000-ryo banknote from the Land of Fire's currency pouch and beckoned to Uchiha Izuna, "Here, consider this a small apology from your older brother for not recognizing you before."
Seeing that the young Uchiha Izuna was not moving, the rather mature-looking Uchiha Tetsuka stepped forward in annoyance, forced the money into his hand, and said in a tone of an elder, "If you have nothing to do at this time, you can consider finding some work, either in the village or on the clan land."
"The Uchiha children shouldn't end up like some privileged children, relying on their families for everything."
For a moment, the faces of the shop owners in the vicinity who ran shops based on the 'ninja family' twitched and twisted.
'Fine, fine, you're mocking us, aren't you?'
The shop owners were furious but dared not speak out. In the end, they could only swallow their anger, abandon their desire to watch the show, and return to their respective shops.
Chapter 161 Next Stop, Alabasta Kingdom
The allowance and the fact that the clansmen no longer relied on their strength to intimidate others deeply moved Uchiha Izuna.
Holding a rare thousand taels of New Year's money in his hand, Uchiha Izuna was already very satisfied, even though he didn't know what he could buy with the money.
Halfway there, Uchiha Izuna felt that after he saw his father, he must have a good chat with this clansman and talk about the changes in the Uchiha clan over the years.
Once outside the street, Uchiha Izuna noticed that the Konoha genin walking ahead was leaning against a white wall, covered in sweat, as if he had just experienced some terrifying event.
"Hey, hey, hey, I only got a thousand taels of pocket money, is it really that big of a deal?" Uchiha Izuna thought that this Konoha genin was jealous of him, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I treat you to something I can afford later? The ninjas of my Uchiha clan don't owe you favors!"
The Konoha genin rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Who asked you to treat me?" He secretly observed that the security team members were not paying attention to him and continued to move forward to inspect the shops and street vendors. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand, giving him a look that said, "You're so lucky," and said, "You almost lost your life, you know that?"
"??????" Uchiha Izuna was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he had an urge to punch a Konoha genin.
What nonsense are you spouting?
The Konoha genin waved his hand, interrupting Uchiha Izuna's speech, and pointed with his head to the location of the street they had just crossed, "Do you know what those ninjas are?"
"They're not human at all!"
Uchiha Izuna: "?"
Afterwards, on the way to the Senju clan's territory, the Konoha genin patiently explained the situation of the Uchiha clan. Although he didn't know much, he at least knew that the Uchiha clan was wiped out because of certain events, and that the Uchiha clan members who appeared now were creatures called 'Ghost Stories'.
"Never, ever offend those Uchiha ghosts, people will really die. Countless villagers have died before they finally understood this." The Konoha genin escorted Uchiha Izuna to the gate of the Senju clan compound and pointed to the streets ahead. "Go to the end, turn the corner, and walk to the center of the compound. You'll see people there."
"Thanks... How about I treat you to a meal?" Uchiha Izuna felt a little embarrassed. He had almost died, and the pocket money he had stuffed in his pocket suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.
The Konoha genin waved his hand, indicating that he had completed his mission. Fearing that Uchiha Izuna might go to his death again, he reminded him once more before leaving the clan's territory.
Uchiha Izuna couldn't help but admire the high quality of the Konoha ninjas. If he had known that there were so many strange tales about the Uchiha clan, he probably would have looked at the Uchiha ninjas as if they were monsters.
The reality is that it's better to have living Uchiha ninjas than to send them to their deaths and increase the number of Uchiha ghost stories.
"Big brother, who are you?"
Karin Uzumaki, a little girl carrying a backpack, walked in from the street and saw a big brother with black spiky hair standing at the door. She couldn't help but ask.
"You are..." Uchiha Izuna was still in shock when he saw Karin's cute little face, but when he saw her hair, he immediately blurted out, "You're from the Uzumaki clan, right!"
Karin Uzumaki calmly looked at the older brother, observed him for a moment, and confirmed that he was not a Konoha ninja. She silently formed hand seals: "Clone Technique!"
With a bang, white smoke rose, revealing four red-haired little girls, including the original body, which left Uchiha Izuna stunned.
"Wow, this can't be..." Uchiha Izuna's heart tightened with vigilance, "You're not a ninja from an enemy country, are you?"
But as soon as he said it, he felt like he had said something pointless.
Since entering the village, I've seen countless ninjas bearing the Konoha insignia. This isn't the era of four-year-olds going to war anymore; how could a mere kid from an enemy country possibly launch an attack...?
"Run!" Karin immediately scattered and ran for her life. Uchiha Izuna, who hadn't come to his senses yet, raised his hand, but the words he wanted to say to the little girl suddenly caught in his throat.
