Hashirama Reborn

The candlelight flickered in the darkness, casting mottled shadows. The atmosphere in the room was so strange that it was suffocating, as if even the air had frozen. Three old men with vicissitudes of life and deep eyes sat at the table, staring at the door with their eyes as sharp as torches.

Facing the elders' fiery gazes, Hashirama awkwardly looked away. Neither side spoke, and the surroundings were enveloped in an indescribable strange atmosphere.

Cough!

Suddenly, a slight cough broke the strange silence. "Hashirama, come in quickly, don't block the way!" The fourth elder exerted a little force and pushed Hashirama, who was blocking the door, into the house. He followed in and vigilantly observed the situation outside the house. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he quickly closed the wooden door, isolating everything from the outside world.

As the wooden door closed, the Great Elder broke the silence first and looked at the Fourth Elder, his eyes revealing deep concern: Fourth Elder, how are they?

The fourth elder shook his head, his straight back seemed to collapse in an instant, and he replied in a low voice: With the help of Hashirama's Wood Release and Lord Slug, the injured tribesmen are basically out of danger. However, the child Shoichi was too seriously injured and could not be saved.

The Great Elder clenched the crutch in his hand in an instant, as if trying to draw strength from it. He drooped his eyelids and murmured in a low voice: Is that so... At this moment, the air in the hut seemed to become heavier, and everyone could feel the deep sorrow.

However, this sorrow did not last long. After a while, the Great Elder raised his head again and looked sharply at Hashirama in the corner. His voice revealed an unquestionable firmness: I shouldn't have let you out so soon, but the situation is special now. Hashirama, you must find a way to make the injured tribesmen recover as soon as possible!

Without any hesitation, Hashirama nodded calmly with a firm look in his eyes: I will do my best.

The hand that was clenched on the cane relaxed a little, and the tense face of the great elder relaxed slightly. Although the two sides had some unpleasantness due to some misunderstandings some time ago, Hashirama's heart was always with his people, which was a good thing.

The Great Elder looked at the tall and heroic Hashirama in front of him and nodded silently in his heart. Yes, with this kind of bearing and strength, except for his somewhat naive character and strange ideas, Hashirama Senju is undoubtedly the most suitable clan leader for the next generation of the Senju clan.

While he is still young, we must find a way to cultivate the child's character. A person who is too naive cannot lead a clan. As long as Hashirama's character can be changed, this child will definitely be able to lead the Senju clan to greater achievements in the future.

Just as the Great Elder was immersed in his vision of a bright future for the Senju clan, Hashirama suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: Great Elder, I want to know, what kind of mission could have caused so many good fighters in the clan to be injured?

The first elder was slightly stunned. Before he could explain, the hot-tempered third elder had already stood up, slamming the table and angrily said: It's Uchiha! Those despicable guys!

When Hashirama heard the word "Uchiha", his breathing suddenly stagnated. He quickly glanced at the elders around him, and when he saw that no one had any intention of refutation, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

How is that possible? After my own inspection, I found that most of the wounds on the members of the clan were caused by impact and corrosion. The Uchiha clan is obviously good at fire escape and illusion.

Third Elder, this may be a misunderstanding. Thinking of this, Hashirama quickly explained, I have checked everyone's wounds, most of them are impact and corrosive injuries. Uchiha is good at fire escape and illusion, this is not like their method.

The third elder's eyes widened and he said angrily: This information was told by the tribesmen lying there themselves, how could there be a misunderstanding? !

Hashirama's mind was working rapidly, and he asked anxiously: Did everyone see it with their own eyes? But my examination results cannot be wrong.

Fourth Elder, you should have checked everyone's injuries. Fire escape and illusion cannot cause such injuries.

The fourth elder hesitated for a moment, then nodded, confirming Hashirama's judgment.

With the approval of others, Hashirama finally breathed a sigh of relief, organized his thoughts, and said seriously to several elders: I believe what the tribesmen said, but we should not let go of any suspicious places. There are too many things wrong with this matter. I think it is necessary to go to the scene and check it out carefully.

Hearing this, the Third Elder angrily slammed the table and growled, "Investigate? There's nothing left there, how can we investigate!"

Hashirama was stunned and asked in confusion: What do you mean nothing is left? What is going on?

The second elder, who had been silent all this time, sighed and said helplessly: Let me tell you, Duolun led these tribesmen to carry out an escort mission. On the way back, they encountered Uchiha Huiyi, who attacked them as soon as they met. Duolun and his men...

Wait! Hashirama couldn't help but interrupt the second elder's narration, and said in disbelief: What does this mean? An Uchiha attacked a dozen Senju? And it was a head-on confrontation? Isn't this really seeking death?

The second elder shook his head, a serious look on his face: This is the fact.

Hashirama was silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and spoke: If that's the case, how could Uncle Duolun and the others be so badly injured? Even if that Uchiha is so powerful, it's impossible for him to kill so many Thousand Hands by himself, right?

The third elder snorted heavily and said through gritted teeth: That despicable guy certainly knows this, but he doesn't want to die. Instead, he plans to drag Duolun and the others along, exchanging one for a dozen. The Uchiha clan has a good plan!

Hashirama frowned and asked in confusion: What does this mean?

The fourth elder also interrupted at this time: Although he couldn't do it, he led Duolun and others to the monster's territory!

Hashirama's pupils shrank and he repeated word by word: Monster?

The hoarse voice of the fourth elder continued to sound: I heard that they were two very large insects with many tails. Uchiha Huiyi was no match for the tribesmen at all. They fled quickly after the attack.

Duolun and his companions were planning to capture Uchiha Teruichi alive, so they chased after them and encountered the two sleeping monsters. Everything would have been fine, but Uchiha Teruichi deliberately provoked the two monsters, and the monsters were awakened. A random attack left Duolun and his companions in their current state.

……

Bugs with many tails? Two huge figures flashed through Hashirama's mind quickly, the Six-Tailed and the Seven-Tailed? !

After all, a giant beast with many tails and such powerful strength makes people subconsciously think of the tailed beasts. And if they were affected by the attacks of two tailed beasts, then the injuries of Uncle Doren and others could be explained.

But how could this be possible? How could two tailed beasts appear near the Land of Fire, and just happen to be resting on the way back from the Senju, and just happen to be led there by an Uchiha, causing such a large number of casualties? No matter how you look at it, this matter reveals weirdness.
