"It's right ahead. Just climb over that mountain and we'll be there!"
Sarutobi Sasuke was leading his clan members on an escort mission. The caravan they were protecting was walking slowly on the road, carrying a large amount of goods. After many days of arduous journey, they defeated many bandits and robbers who coveted the caravan's goods. After repelling several attacks from shinobi hired by the caravan's rivals, they were finally about to reach their destination.
Sarutobi Sasuke's outstanding strength and good affinity make him respected not only within the clan. Even the other people in the caravan admired Sarutobi Sasuke.
"Wait! Everyone stay where you are!"
At this moment, a violent, terrifying chakra suddenly rolled in from afar. Sarutobi Sasuke's body stiffened instantly, and he quickly gave orders to the people around him in a low, trembling voice. Although I don't know what's going on, it's because of the correct decisions Sarutobi Sasuke has made during this period of time, as well as his strong strength and the prestige he has established in the team.
The moment he gave the order, the entire convoy stopped immediately. Even in the caravan, when something fell from a carriage, no one dared to pick it up. Because the leader of the entire team, Sarutobi Sasuke, was staring in one direction with sweat all over his forehead. Many people could even see that his body seemed to be shaking slightly.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two figures leaped past their heads at an extremely exaggerated speed. The other Sarutobi clan shinobi who realized it later were shocked, and their hands holding the kunai were shaking constantly.
"So, what kind of chakra is that?"
"That kind of teleportation is too fast."
"The speed at which we perceive them is actually slower than the speed at which they reach us from a distance using the teleportation technique?"
"If it was an enemy, we would have all died at that moment except for Sasuke-sama!"
An unspeakable fear lingers in my heart. The Sarutobi clan shinobi, who was breathing heavily, turned around and looked at the two people whose backs could no longer be seen clearly. To them, they were just passing by.
"That kind of figure is really desirable."
Hearing the voices of his clansmen, Sarutobi Sasuke looked in the direction where the two people disappeared, with a helpless expression. What a monstrous existence, Senju Hashirama. Is this direction now heading towards where Uchiha Madara is?
Before that, he had brought his clansmen and the caravan and deliberately made a long detour from there. As far as he knew, a large number of rogue shinobi, bounty hunters, and many clan shinobi who wanted to give it a try were gathering there. He even discovered traces of Hyūga clan shinobi.
There are many people who want to take Uchiha Madara's eyes, but Sarutobi Sasuke does not think that is a wise idea. As for Uchiha Madara, even if he was injured in the battle with Senju Hashirama, he is not someone that ordinary people can touch. They were like moths to a flame, buzzing towards the dangerous flames.
"Keep going; the rest is none of our business!"
Sarutobi Sasuke called out and led the team forward.
And Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama also began to feel that the closer they were to their target in the surrounding forest, the more shinobi were hiding.
"Brother, wait a moment!"
Tobirama stopped his eldest brother, Senju Hashirama, then squatted on the ground and touched the ground with his fingers. "There are quite a lot of little bugs here, and quite a few with stronger chakra."
Standing up, Senju Tobirama looked around. The perception he had just had made him realize the many dangers hidden in the forest. The number of people who want to take advantage of the chaos to obtain Uchiha Madara's power is beyond imagination.
This is not normal; this is definitely not normal. Did someone deliberately reveal Uchiha Madara's location, wanting more people to consume his physical strength?
"There!"
At this moment, Tobirama and Hashirama looked in the same direction at the same time. The sound of a series of fierce explosions of explosive tags echoed throughout the surrounding forest. The violent explosion caused a stir in the entire forest.
"Tobirama, follow me!"
Quickly entering combat status, the eldest brother Hashirama took the lead and rushed forward. Tobirama followed closely behind his eldest brother and rushed forward.
...
"Hyūga Tennin?"
The intense smoke dissipated, but there was still a pungent, burning smell in the air, which made Madara feel a little uncomfortable. A large number of explosive tags were attached to kunai and were launched towards this side from afar with great force, exploding continuously around Uchiha Madara.
After blocking this series of attacks, Madara was slightly surprised to see the Hyūga Tennin rushing towards him. This guy is also going to attack me and get my Mangekyō Sharingan?
Haha, Hyūga Tennin, are you admitting on behalf of the Hyūga clan that your Byakugan is not as good as our Uchiha Sharingan? With a cruel smile, facing this former opponent whose name he could remember, he raised his arm in fiery red armor and blocked the opponent's Gentle Fist.
"Do you want to dance, too?"
"Uchiha Madara, why are you still trying so hard?"
The other palm suddenly pushed forward, and the huge force tried to push the air, hitting Madara's body heavily. Madara pressed his hand down hard, and Hyūga Tennin crossed his hands together, allowing the Eight Trigrams Palm to finally fall to the ground.
"If it was you in your prime, I would turn around and leave! But now, your eyes are going to be mine!"
"Rotation!"
Hyūga Tennin's body suddenly spun at high speed on the spot. The sphere formed by chakra was spinning at high speed along with his body and suddenly bounced Uchiha Madara, who was close to him, outwards.
Madara's feet landed heavily on the ground, and he slid backwards for a distance before slowly stopping. He stood up slowly and looked at the Hyūga Tennin in front of him, who still had a serious expression on his face.
Then, he raised his hand and gently patted the armor on his body. Click, click, click. When Hyūga Tennin used Rotation, it caused a fierce collision with him at that moment, and finally a crack appeared on the armor used to protect his body.
Then, the armor on Madara's chest quickly cracked, shattered into pieces, and fell to the ground. Lowering his head and looking at the armor on the ground in front of him, Madara slowly smiled.
Sure enough, compared to those rotten fish and shrimp, guys like you are more interesting. Although they are still far inferior to Hashirama, they are also among the best and most advanced among ordinary shinobi. After all these days, you are the only one who can damage his armor.
