"Hadō No. 4: Byakurai!"
A blue-white bolt of lightning erupted from Senju Nawaki's fingertip, rapidly striking towards Tsunade.
Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted!
This guy Nawaki, he's actually serious!
Tsunade fiercely increased her Chakra output, and a deep, abyss-fire-like Chakra rapidly condensed on her fair fist.
Her arms, wrapped in Chakra, guarded her front, isolating the rapidly approaching lightning bolt.
Crackle!
Tsunade's body went numb for a moment, and a patch of charring appeared on her arms.
Wisps of smoke rose from her arms, making anyone who saw it feel a pang of pain in their own arm.
But Tsunade seemed oblivious to pain, ignoring the charring on her arms, only staring intently at Senju Nawaki, and said in a deep voice, "Nawaki, are you actually trying to kill your older sister?"
If anyone other than her had taken that strike, they would have been either dead or severely injured!
Because that bolt of lightning was aimed straight for her head!
Tsunade truly couldn't believe that her own younger brother dared to strike her so viciously!
Even the other Konoha ninja who witnessed this couldn't help but swallow.
These siblings, they are really going for it!
How much hatred must there be between them?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other hand, suddenly felt relieved.
There is no harm without comparison.
Senju Nawaki was practically committing patricide, so calling him an old monkey didn't seem so bad anymore.
But what exactly was going on with Senju Nawaki?
Forgetting about Konoha was one thing, but forgetting his own family?
He hasn't pretended so hard that he's convinced himself, has he?
Does he really think of himself as a person from the Uzushigakure?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but what Sarutobi Hiruzen was most concerned about was the Unmarked Ninjutsu Senju Nawaki had released earlier.
Hadō No. 4: Byakurai?
The casting speed of Unmarked Ninjutsu really is fast enough!
Something is wrong! Very wrong!
Orochimaru frowned slightly.
Although this Nawaki, whether it was his appearance, personality, or even his habits and movements, was the Nawaki they knew.
However, in Nawaki's eyes, Orochimaru truly saw a spontaneous sense of unfamiliarity.
Perhaps Nawaki wasn't just pretending.
Did he really not remember?
Rukia and the others quietly watched the interaction between Senju Nawaki and Tsunade.
They all understood that these Konoha people were indeed Senju Nawaki's relatives, friends, and comrades from his previous life.
But they weren't the least bit worried that Nawaki would be lured away by the Konoha people.
After all, any Soul residing in Rukongai forgets everything about their life before death.
From the moment they awoke in Rukongai in their Soul state, they had already severed ties with everything from their previous life and were citizens of the Uzushigakure in their own minds.
Moreover, as a Shinigami, Senju Nawaki now only held the will of the Lord Soul King in his heart!
Furthermore, the Lord Soul King had previously said that Senju Nawaki should give Konoha a small shock.
Since that was the case, Rukia didn't mind handing the Konoha stage over to Senju Nawaki first.
As long as it pleased the Lord Soul King!
The drama of siblings meeting again only to become enemies would surely bring the Lord Soul King much enjoyment... At the Senju Compound,
Uzumaki Mito kept her eyes tightly shut, using Kagura's Mind's Eye to envelop the entire Konoha, sensing the area where Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were confronting the Shinigami from the Uzushigakure.
The moment she 'saw' Senju Nawaki, she abruptly opened her eyes.
An expression of disbelief flashed across her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, continuing to carefully and seriously 'look' at Senju Nawaki again and again.
Only a few minutes later did she let out a heavy sigh, her eyes complex, muttering, "It really is Nawaki..."
Even though Nawaki's body currently lacked the Chakra she was familiar with, having developed Kagura's Mind's Eye to its limit, she still clearly remembered Nawaki's aura.
In her many perceptions, that child was undeniably Nawaki.
But... she had also sensed Nawaki's corpse countless times, and was absolutely certain that the child Nawaki was truly dead.
She had grieved secretly for a long time over this.
She only pretended to be fine in front of Tsunade and Kushina so they wouldn't worry.
Yet now, the person who was clearly dead had suddenly reappeared!
And worse, without warning, he was drawing a blade against his own older sister!
All these strange signs left Uzumaki Mito completely baffled.
But she knew that the cause of all this was the Uzushigakure!
Her eyes were deep, and her complex gaze focused on the golden giant gate.
She seemed to want to look through the golden curtain to the person behind that door.
She murmured, "Chihiro..."
Based on the information she heard from Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Orochimaru's description of the Lord Soul King.
She was now extremely certain that the current ruler of the Uzushigakure, the so-called Lord Soul King, was Chihiro, the sole heir of the Uzushigakure.
Therefore, the reconstruction of the Uzushigakure was legitimate.
The Uzushigakure had not been occupied by other forces.
The Uzushigakure still belonged to the Uzumaki Clan.
Thus, their demand to Konoha for Uzumaki Kushina was also legally sound.
After all, she was their clan member, and it was only right for the Uzushigakure to take her back.
Even if this matter were discussed in the Ninja World, it would receive support from other countries.
However, she was also clear about the situation with Konoha and herself.
Konoha could not lose the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
It was just that this time, things might not go as Konoha wished.
The Uzushigakure is coming on strong, and it seems they won't give up until they get Uzumaki Kushina.
Moreover, the strangeness of dead people suddenly reappearing before them made her uneasy.
This reminded her of a Forbidden Jutsu that Tobirama had once created to toy with the Souls of the deceased!
Edo Tensei!
A malicious Forbidden Jutsu that can summon the Souls of the dead from the Pure Land World to fight for oneself!
Uzumaki Mito's eyes grew cold.
Although the Uzushigakure has a legitimate reason this time, if they dare to toy with Nawaki's Soul, she will absolutely not let them off!
However, Nawaki's current state is very unusual.
Because, from the description of Edo Tensei, even if one's actions are controlled by the caster, and one inevitably turns against loved ones,
They do not lose their memories from when they were alive.
So, what exactly happened to Nawaki?
"Chihiro, what exactly do you want to do..."
"Nawaki, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Konoha East Street, Tsunade's face sank as she questioned Nawaki.
She simply couldn't believe that Nawaki would truly forget her, and even try to kill her!
