Cognitive limitations not only exist in the ninjas at the headquarters, but also in the ninjas who go out to fight.
Therefore, when they saw the person who should be in charge of the command center appear, the expressions on both sides were very surprised.
"you……"
"Master Tobirama!?"
The voices of both sides sounded almost at the same time.
But no matter how shocked we are, the fight must continue.
The Second Mizukage attacked the First Raikage again almost at the same time as he spoke.
Of course, the Third Raikage is no pushover either.
Before the surprise on his face faded, he had already blocked the attack of the Second Mizukage with his hands.
"Master Tobirama, is there something wrong with the command center?"
"No, I'm just leading the team to pick them up."
While Senju Tobirama was speaking, several other participants stood up behind him.
Among them were some familiar faces, but most of them were participants who had been temporarily divided into camps.
"Only these people?"
The Raikage snorted.
Not only was there no fear on his face, but he looked even more excited.
"It's good that you came."
"I'm worried that I can't find anyone to eliminate."
On the other side, Uchiha Madara also led another group of people to attack Huanglong.
They actually didn't know where the other party's base camp was.
However, as ninjas of the same generation and with whom he had a close relationship, he could probably guess most of it - of course, it didn't really matter even if he guessed wrong.
After all, their main goal is to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the opponent's manpower and seize the initiative, so as to catch the enemy off guard.
It would be great if they could destroy the headquarters in one go, but if they can't, then it would be a win for them if they could eliminate one more person.
This surprise attack indeed caught the other side off guard.
"Raid?"
"Didn't Tobirama Senju go to support the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage!?"
The White side also held an emergency meeting in a panic.
Just as Senju Tobirama guessed, they also believed that there should be at least one "chief" in the command center to protect the incense burner.
For example, Hashirama Senju on their side did not take any action.
This is not only to protect the incense burner, but also to prevent accidents from happening in the command center.
They believe in
Fang also knew this.
Since the Raikage is outside, then Senju Hashirama must be here.
In this way, even if they wanted to launch a sneak attack, they would have to consider whether the person they sent was a match for Hashirama Senju.
"Who's leading the team!?"
"I heard it was Uchiha Madara..."
Hearing this answer, everyone was even more shocked.
But soon they realized what the other side's actions meant.
"Doesn't this mean that the enemy's headquarters is unguarded at this moment?"
Realizing this, it seems that it is not difficult to understand the other party's actions.
They were obviously pushed into a corner and were ready to give it a try.
"Then this is our chance!"
"Assault Command!"
The quick-witted Ying made a decision immediately, preparing to take advantage of the opponent's empty rear to directly cut off the opponent's supply of fire.
"I didn't expect that Senju Tobirama would be so impulsive and make such a big mistake."
"They may have underestimated our intelligence network."
The people present began to talk about it.
Senju Hashirama felt that things were not that simple.
After all, whether it’s Madara or Tobirama.
They are not the kind of people who would reveal such a big flaw.
Even if Madara was a little more radical, Tobirama would definitely stop him.
However, his concerns were not shared by others.
Someone even kindly explained:
"It may not sound good to say this, but what if Tobirama-sama and Madara-sama have a disagreement?"
"Excuse me, the relationship between these two in the past was not very good."
Senju Hashirama: “…”
It made so much sense that I couldn't argue with it.
Although it is a temporary alliance, given the personalities of those two people, this possibility is not impossible.
If no other reasons can be thought of, then this explanation is probably the only one.
"I see."
Senju Hashirama closed his eyes.
"But I still don't think the other side will be completely defenseless. It's better for all of us to stay and prepare for the battle."
White's instructions were also quickly passed down.
The battle-hardened ninjas up there are certainly able to hold their own.
But the young and energetic people below are different.
's thoughts.
"They're already at our door, why are we still on full defense?"
"that is."
"I heard that the enemy's main general has already moved. Isn't this a good opportunity to strike directly at Huanglong?"
After several complaints, they gradually came up with new ideas.
"What if we go to counter the sneak attack..."
Their abacuses jingled loudly.
Although this action violated the orders of superiors.
But for ninjas, the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. As long as they succeed, they are heroes.
It’s the whole street... No, it’s the most shining and brightest kid in the normal competition!
Several people thought that their actions were unnoticed.
Little did they know that the moment they saw their actions, many high-ranking ninja officials outside the venue covered their faces.
It's shameful. It's so shameful.
Young people don’t know what the other side is thinking.
But as spectators outside the venue, they saw it clearly.
Is the Red side's rear empty?
They didn't leave any rear at all !
That's a cover, a bait!
There was nothing left inside except various traps - the main idea of ​​these kids was that there was no way back.
"Whose child is this..."
I'll give him a good lesson when I get back.
"Well... there seems to be one in your house."
"What!?"
The middle-aged man, who originally had a solemn expression, immediately fell in expression, and his eyes began to search for the "family member" among them like an eagle.
...Then I really found my own child talking to someone in a corner.
The man's expression did not get worse - after all, there were people from other ninja clans and villages around him, and family disgrace could not be made public.
But in my heart I had already started to grit my teeth.
"You little bastard, go back and wait for me!"
He must have had too little training to behave so mindlessly and self-righteously.
Perhaps because they had a common language in scolding these ignorant little brats, the high-ranking ninja leaders present looked at each other and even felt a bit of familiarity.
It's not okay to be unfriendly.
There are problems with the ancestors above (the first and second generations of the Impure World Reincarnation), and the bastards below (such as the group of whimsical
young people) under pressure.
If I don’t find some friends to talk to and relieve stress, life would be really difficult.
Alas, being the boss has so much pressure and difficulty - after this is over, let's all go out for a drink somewhere.
That's right.
Even if it's just to make up for the anxiety during this period, I have to drink a cup.
Rather than their different backgrounds, the resonance of the same burden made them feel closer and have more common topics.
And this situation has almost become the norm in the ninja world without knowing when.
Ninjas who met in a certain city were no longer afraid or wary of each other.
There are even many people who would simply go to an izakaya or get a massage with their arms around each other. Some people who have really good relationships would even ask others to help them grab spots for limited editions or events organized by the Ugetsu store.
Not to mention, thanks to all these, the interactions between people from different ninja villages and different countries have increased many times compared to the past.
Especially after Yuyue Express was launched.
The circulation of things between different regions is as common as drinking water and eating.
Many things that used to be "foreign specialties" and "only available in faraway places" have now become a part of people's daily lives.
Of course, no one will be soft-hearted when it comes to competition.
An individual is an individual, and the glory of the village is the glory of the village.
That cannot be confused.
Orochimaru, who was watching all this in the shadows, shook his head.
To be honest, he sometimes even felt that he no longer understood this world.
Every day... no, it seems that every time I open my eyes, there are new changes compared to yesterday.
Even I myself am constantly changing.
Some of the things that I once thought were beliefs and pursuits have become vague today... I can't even remember some of them.
So much so that sometimes Orochimaru would doubt it.
What was he trying to achieve in the first place when he joined hands with Danzo and let himself be ordered around by him?
It’s really hard for me - I really was too young back then.
He shook his head and took a half step back to make room for someone who was walking past.
——Of course he knew who the man who passed by him was, and he could see that he was in a hurry and it was obvious that he was planning something.
But he didn't hinder
mean.
Rather, he still had a glimmer of expectation.
It’s already so lively...why not do something bigger?
What kind of excitement can the first generation of adults bring?
Let them wait and see.
People outside were getting furious about the kids who suddenly left the team and acted on their own.
On the isolated island, people who were once enemies and later briefly became "comrades-in-arms" collided with each other again.
Perhaps because they knew this was the final battle, everyone fought to the utmost and did not hold back just because the other party was their old friend or former boss.
It can even be said that it is precisely because they know each other better that they are more unscrupulous in their actions.
Especially Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama who collided again.
"spot!"
"Hashirama!"
The two shouted each other's names, and then collided violently like two high-speed trains.
Neither of them used their signature ninjutsu.
There were no special magical weapons, and both sides just relied on their unreasonable physical strength to bring out the brutal and terrifying power like the tailed beasts.
The earth cracked and the trees fell.
Wherever the two men went, nothing was left intact. They were like a sickle, harvesting everything around them.
Not to mention ordinary ninjas, even the Kage could be eliminated if they were not careful.
To be honest, being in front of these two people really makes people feel powerless.
——Faced with such people and such a battle, is there really any need for me to make any effort?
No matter how hard you try, you can't catch up.
but……
"Hey, it's not honorable to launch a sneak attack at this time."
"How can an attack that you can block be called a sneak attack?"
Even though they looked like fireflies against the backdrop of the battle between the two men, they were once the shadows of their respective villages.
As long as I can still move, I will never give up because of any insurmountable reason.
Even if the world will end in the next second.
To be honest.
Yu Yue was a little shocked.
She had originally just wanted to let these powerful ninjas from the past shine again since they were already here - after all, something like that had happened before, and people always needed something more shocking.
Shocking, stimulating things to divert attention.
In addition, the top leaders of each ninja village seemed to be having a headache about how to deal with these first generations who were no longer needed, so she thought of doing them a favor.
Kill two birds with one stone.
But the battles of these first generations before her eyes—not like on the moon where they had no chance to intervene, but rather a battle in which everyone was evenly matched—still shocked her.
'This is a ninja'.
'This is the top ninja ever.'
Such a shock is reflected in the retina and then deeply engraved in the mind.
This is a picture that cannot be achieved by any special effects.
"It's a shame to let them all go back like this."
Ugetsu murmured.
"Miss Ugetsu wants to keep you adults?"
Uchiha Shisui keenly caught Ugetsu's mumbling.
A rare expression of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Although he admitted that the Impure World Reincarnation that did not need to eat or rest was the strongest executor, considering the powerful strength and rich experience of the first-generation masters.
It is no exaggeration to say that he can defeat a hundred with one.
but……
After all, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique is already a blasphemy. If we force them to continue to stay in this world, it would be a bit...
"...No, it's not what you think."
Uchiha Shisui understands Ugetsu, and Ugetsu, who has been with him for many years, certainly would not say that he has no understanding of him at all.
Almost at the same time Uchiha Shisui frowned, she knew what the other party was thinking.
To be honest, the characteristics of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique really made her very excited.
After all, not having to eat, drink or rest means they can continue to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In addition, since there are no fixed living expenses, it doesn't matter even if the salary is very low.
But on the other hand, it is precisely because of this that they are not suitable for the current Yuyue Store and this world.
At least not all of them can stay.
"I just think their heroic deeds should be seen and experienced by more people."
Ugetsu thought about it.
"It's just... like putting it in the Tsukuyomi world as a boss or something."
This is also a good thing for ninjas.
Being able to fight against the first generation who are very experienced and powerful... This is also a rare opportunity.
Gained experience.
I just don't know if I can copy all the people in.
At that time, it can also be regarded as an upgraded version of Ninja Survival.
This is a super event that only the team that wins first place in the Ninja Survival event is eligible to challenge.
“——That’s probably what happened.”
Yu Yue briefly explained her thoughts.
Uchiha Shisui blinked in surprise.
"Is that enough?"
"What else?"
"I thought Miss Uzuki would like to keep you all here to work. After all, Miss Uzuki...well, has always been eclectic in employing all kinds of talents."
Uchiha Shisui said implicitly.
In fact, he originally wanted to say "regardless of life or death".
"…Do I look like someone who wouldn't even let the dead go?"
Ugetsu opened his eyes wide and looked at Uchiha Shisui.
Then I almost laughed out of anger at the other party's suspicious wandering gaze.
"No matter how much I pressure you... no matter how unconventional I am, I will never really kill you."
Uchiha Shisui turned his gaze back.
It's not that I'm relieved, but more like asking 'really?'
"Even if you don't trust me, you should trust my judgment on the work."
Yu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The reason why she refused was partly because she respected life and death.
On the other hand, of course, it’s because of interests.
As a businessman, no matter what choice she makes, she certainly hopes to maximize her profits.
Of course it is convenient for people who are reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation.
But because it is so convenient, there is no "demand".
Without the most basic needs of being a living person, they naturally will not create any value.
In other words, their existence cannot become a part of the production-consumption link. There is no new demand, no new consumption.
Then the economy and income will not be able to survive.
It may even be that they take up a large number of jobs, resulting in reduced profits for others.
The reduction in income will inevitably lead to a decline in consumption.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
If the work here cannot bring enough income to support the family.
The biggest possibility is that these ninjas from different ninja villages will continue to do their old business and start a war.
This is not what Yu Yue wants to see.
After all, she is running a legitimate business. The more peaceful the world is, the more money she can make, and she can make money for a long time.
"——Anyway, I won't do this. If other ninja villages have such ideas, I will definitely vote against it."
This is his gold medal assistant, so he should be assured.
Uchiha Shisui: ...Actually, he originally wanted to say that if she really had this idea, then it was not impossible for him to go and persuade Lord Madara.
After all, if Lord Madara could stay in the Ugetsu Shop, everyone would feel more at ease.
——At least there is no need to worry about Uchiha Madara secretly doing something else in the dark that no one knows about.
Of course, it would be best if Miss Yu Yue didn’t need it.
So he continued along the lines of Yu Yue’s words.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yu Yue."
Seeing how serious he was, as if he had really made great sacrifices and efforts, Yu Yue felt as if the little conscience he had left seemed to ache a little.
“…It wasn’t too hard.”
Although she was a little happy with Shisui's performance.
but……
Alas, how come there is such a pure and kind boy like Shisui among ninjas?
Ugetsu started to worry again.
If it weren't for me, he would have been cheated out of all his money.
If you're unlucky and run into villains like that...that group or something, you might even get your bones chewed to pieces.
Uchiha Shisui didn't know what Ugetsu was thinking. He just suddenly found that Ugetsu grabbed his hand and patted it a few times, then said seriously:
"Shisui, you better stay with me."
Otherwise, what if you are eaten alive?
Although I don't know what Miss Yu Yue is thinking of...
"OK."
The boy responded with a happy smile.
"I will always be by Miss Ugetsu's side."
——How can there be such a well-behaved and all-round person?
——Even if Miss Yu Yue no longer needs him one day, he will never just leave like that.
The two people, each with their own thoughts, turned their attention back to the scene revealed by the mirage technique.
At this time, a long time had passed since the fierce battle between the two sides.
Both sides have different degrees of
The 'exit personnel'.
From the young ninjas at the beginning, to the first and second generation ninjas who died together later.
But overall, the red side still has the advantage.
In addition to the fact that they took the initiative and attacked unexpectedly, it was also because of the young people on the White side who were smart enough to launch a sneak attack.
Their sudden disappearance seemed to create an obvious breaking point in the White side's previously solid encirclement.
In this way, the young people on the red side can easily break in and deal with opponents who are at a similar level to themselves.
Plus the efforts of the first and second generations of the red team.
A large number of the white side's young ninjas were eliminated, and most of the remaining ones were of little use.
As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, the red side naturally gains more advantages.
Although on the Raikage's side, the Second Tsuchikage was eliminated after blocking the attack for the Second Mizukage, the First Raikage was also eliminated before his own support arrived.
Although it was a pity to lose the Second Mizukage, the result was still acceptable as the opponent's strongest combat force except for Hashirama Senju was eliminated.
But precisely because of the "casualties", the fighting between the two sides became more intense and proactive.
The Red Team began to concentrate its strength to wipe out more members of the White Team - with Uchiha Madara restraining Senju Hashirama, it was not impossible for them to completely wipe out the opponent by using the strategy of outnumbering the opponent.
After all, if only Hashirama Senju is left in the end, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he will not be able to withstand the attack of so many people with Uchiha Madara around.
The White side obviously understands this principle, but given their absolute advantage in numbers, it is difficult for them to choose the same style of play as the Red side.
——This way, they only have one choice left.
"Defeat Uchiha Madara! Extinguish the incense burner on him!"
There is no other choice!
So the nearby ninjas began to attack Uchiha Madara all at once.
Uchiha Madara can restrain Senju Hashirama, and the same is true in reverse.
With Hashirama Senju holding him back, they didn't believe that Uchiha Madara could still resist the attack from their side!
This is a chance to gang up on Uchiha Madara!
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You’ll regret it forever if you miss it!
As a result, the battle between the two sides changed from a separate fight at the beginning to a big melee with Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara as the core.
Own
It doesn't matter if he is hit in the vitals, as long as he can extinguish the incense burner on Uchiha Madara's body, then the White team can turn defeat into victory on the spot!
Having made this decision, the White players immediately took action.
For victory!
rush!
The White players tried their best.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju noticed that Uchiha Madara had a smile on his face.
Rather than being happy about meeting a strong enemy, that smile seemed more like the smug joy of a 'scheme succeeding'?
Secretly happy?
Why was he secretly delighted?
Unfortunately, during the battle, there was no time to think too much, and Hashirama Senju had to deal with the wave-like attacks from Uchiha Madara and the Red Team first.
The people on the opposite side are not the ones you can deal with while distracted.
The people inside the field were fighting fiercely, and the people outside were also sweating.
Especially those who were eliminated.
He was concentrating on the stalemate on the battlefield.
Because they have tried their best, they want to know more than anyone else whether their sacrifice is meaningful.
It was at this time that Yu Yue walked up to the eliminated first-generation members.
Faced with this legendary girl who created the current situation of the ninja world, the first generation naturally would not neglect her.
But they didn't understand why she came to them at this time.
"That's right. You are all the elite among the ninjas, and you are the role models and heroes for the young ones..."
Yu Yue skillfully gave compliments first, and then spoke in the relaxed looks of the few people.
"So I have a suggestion, gentlemen, can you listen to it?"
When Yu Yue was hiding with a few people, the battle on the island finally reached its final stage of white-hot intensity.
In the previous reckless melee, there were almost no people left on both the red and white sides.
"It's back to how it used to be."
Senju Hashirama looked at Uchiha Madara opposite him and somehow recalled the past.
A long, long time ago.
They had fought face to face several times like this.
"No, it's different."
Uchiha Madara naturally knew what he was talking about, but he didn't think that this was a repeat of the past.
“That’s true.”
Senju Hashirama was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
That's right
.
They are no longer the same as they were in the past.
Not standing on the battlefield, but standing on the playing field.
For victory, and just for a fun competition.
"Let me first state that what I mean by 'different' may be somewhat different from what you think."
Uchiha Madara's sudden words stunned Senju Hashirama.
Based on his understanding of Madara, the other party would definitely not say anything useless at such a critical moment.
But if we talk about 'differences'...are there other 'differences' that are closely related to the battle in front of us?
"Hashirama!"
Although he reminded the other party, Uchiha Madara was not going to give the other party too much chance to think.
"Come on! Madara!"
Seeing this, Hashirama Senju also stopped thinking.
The battle that restricted Wood Release, Susanoo, and other powerful ninjutsu brought back memories of a long, long time ago.
When they were still little kids.
At that time, I didn't know Wood Release yet, and Madara didn't have the Mangekyō yet.
They had done this time and again, fighting with just any ninja tools they could get their hands on.
If you don’t have large ninja tools, just use shurikens and kunai.
If you don't have even these, then use your hands, feet, or even your forehead to hit the other person.
Yes, just like now.
Time seems to overlap at this moment.
They are not the 'Shura of the Ninja World' of Uchiha and the 'God of the Ninja World' of Senju.
There were just two boys next to Nan Hechuan.
Finally, Hashirama Senju used a headbutt to make Uchiha Madara lose his balance briefly.
--succeed!
However, before Senju Hashirama could show joy on his face, he found that Uchiha Madara had laughed first.
Laughing at this time... ?
wrong.
The incense burner was not on him!
From Uchiha Madara's sudden attack to that smile that seemed like secret joy.
Senju Hashirama finally figured out where the previous sense of disharmony came from.
If Madara had really been tasked with such an important mission, he certainly would not have acted so obviously and wantonly.
Even if I really don't get along with Tobirama.
He is not the kind of person who would give up the overall situation because of his own will.
Rather, from the very beginning, Madara was the kind of person who would sacrifice his personal emotions and wishes for the sake of a mission or what he believed to be "righteousness".
Therefore, there is only one possibility for him to do this.
He is the bait.
"You actually——"
He actually plotted something?!
"You're not the only one who can lie, Hashirama."
Uchiha Madara regained his balance and smiled. Even though it was a disguise, his happy look still made it clear how happy he was at the moment.
The deception and sneak attacks that spanned decades were finally paid back at this moment.
This battle lasted for decades, spanning time and even life and death.
Finally, it came to an end again.
The only difference from last time is.
Uchiha Madara raised the corners of his lips and took advantage of the brief pause of Senju Hashirama to announce:
"This time, I won."
Just when Uchiha Madara loudly announced his victory, the voice of a third party suddenly sounded.
"That's not necessarily true."!
