"Is he really considered seriously injured in this state?"
Hyūga Tennin felt the domineering aura radiating from the distant forest over a dozen kilometers away and swallowed hard. After seeing Uchiha Madara sitting on the smooth-cut tree rings with disdain, waiting for the enemy to come to him, he couldn't help but feel deeply suspicious.
After Uchiha Madara was defeated by Senju Hashirama and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, which greatly increased his strength, he never fought against Madara again, whose power had undergone a qualitative change. Before Madara possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, he had a hard time holding on under Madara's violent attacks. Having witnessed with his own eyes the scene in which Uchiha Madara was defeated by Senju Hashirama, he now thought about how terrifying it would be if Uchiha Madara could once again compete with such a Senju Hashirama.
"Hateful!"
An angry look emanated from those eyes that seemed unusually pure. Why is it that only the Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan? What is the evolutionary path of the Byakugan? He had carefully studied and observed the several pairs of Sharingan that he had obtained during the last attack on the Uchiha clan. However, he did not have any great talent in this area, and he did not dare to take such things out and ask others to help him study them. Until now, he has not been able to find a way to take his Byakugan a step further. Are we really going to admit that the Byakugan is inferior to the Sharingan?
"Tennin-sama, Tennin-sama?"
At this moment, the voice of the clan members awakened Hyūga Tennin. "What do we do now?"
The clansmen activated their Byakugan, obviously noticing the tragic situation over there. The bodies of those killed by Uchiha Madara were hung everywhere in the forest. Judging from their miserable appearances, they didn't seem to pose any threat to Uchiha Madara. Broken weapons were scattered all over the ground, shuriken and kunai were dropped everywhere. The smoke produced by the explosion caused by the explosive tags was still floating in the air, and people could smell the pungent smell of sulfur. However, from what he saw through his Byakugan, none of the injuries on Uchiha Madara's body were caused by the attacks of these guys.
Suddenly, an idea that all the shinobi had to agree with appeared in their minds at the same time. Only Senju Hashirama can defeat Uchiha Madara and defeat that guy.
"We continue to wait. Uchiha Madara is a shinobi from the Uchiha clan, and like us, he is also a human being. Just pierce his heart, just chop off his head, and he will still die! He is a human, not the Sage of Six Paths, and does not have infinite chakra. His physical strength and chakra will eventually run out!"
Hyūga Tennin doesn't want to leave. This is the best time to obtain the most powerful Mangekyō Sharingan in the shinobi world. As long as I get these eyes, as long as I get this power. So what if everything he did was discovered? Strength is the hard truth that determines everything!
Now, in the shinobi world, due to a series of attacks, more and more kekkei genkai clans have begun to pay attention to this matter. Including the Hyūga clan he belongs to. With so many kekkei genkai clans and even secret technique clans tracking him down, he couldn't hide for too long. Without great power, what good would it be even if he was a genius shinobi of the Hyūga clan?
Hyūga Tennin took a deep breath and led his clansmen nearby, looking in the direction of Uchiha Madara from afar.
...
"I don't know how that guy Hashirama has been doing during the time I was away."
He deliberately left opportunities for his eldest son to become familiar with all clan affairs and was ready to transfer the center of power of the clan to Hashirama bit by bit. Senju Butsuma felt that no matter how stupid his eldest son, Hashirama, was, he would grow a lot after a period of practical learning.
When he returned to his clan, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he looked at all the familiar things in front of him. It won't be long before I will be able to pass on this clan business inherited from my father to my children bit by bit. The most important thing is that he, Senju Butsuma, is still alive and well, and he did not die in some corner of the shinobi world, where even his body cannot be found.
"Clan Head-sama!"
What lovely clansmen! When they saw him returning from the mission, they took the initiative to greet him. Moreover, this expression, which is full of sincere respect, appears particularly sincere and enthusiastic.
"Clan Head-sama, you are back. I just happened to catch a fresh big fish for Tobirama-sama. Can you help me give it to Tobirama-sama to replenish his body? Eating fish is good for your health!"
"Yes, yes, Clan Head-sama, Tobirama-sama didn't like the chrysanthemums I gave him before, so today I specially climbed an entire mountain and picked the most beautiful and fresh lilies for him!"
Senju Butsuma's smile was very forced. It turned out that such a warm and sincere greeting was not directed at him, but at Tobirama. Forget it, it's a good thing that the second son is so outstanding and so loved by the clan members. Moreover, his second son is outstanding, and as a father, he is also proud of him.
"No problem, but what on earth is going on?"
The Senju Butsuma took the things that the clansmen handed over enthusiastically and began to explore.
"Clan Head-sama, Tobirama-sama has successfully helped many people with eye transplants. It is said that in the future, Tobirama-sama can also transplant a healthy leg for our second brother so that he can walk briskly again!"
"Yes, yes, Clan Head, not only that, but I have heard that Tobirama-sama can do even more miraculous things. It can even help us to be enhanced in that aspect... hehehe!"
Seeing them all revealing strange, tacit smiles, Senju Butsuma remained silent. He went out of his way to see the clansmen who were still adapting to their new transplanted eyes. I was deeply moved when I saw how excited they were to regain their sight and how carefully they protected their new eyes.
There are many more sincere smiles full of sunshine and happiness in the clan. Moreover, these joys and smiles seem to be contagious and are constantly passed on within the clan. It made more people in the clan glow with hope. These were things that were difficult to obtain when he was managing the clan before, in the chaotic times. Seeing both of my children become so outstanding, as a father, I feel very happy but also a little uncomfortable.
