Hashirama Reborn

Whoosh! Whoosh! In the dense forest, figures quickly jumped up and down between the branches, constantly exploring the surrounding situation.

Senju Hashirama jumped and landed steadily on the grass. This was the third day he had been exploring these woods, but it was strange that there were no signs of ninja activity in any of the woods, and even no traps were seen. Could it be that the Shimura clan had not arrived yet? Or were they ambushing somewhere else? "Damn it. In my previous life, I stayed in the village to protect the supplies during this mission. I had no idea where the clan members outside had discovered the trap."

"Hashirama, did you find anything?" Senju Akira, who appeared silently beside him, asked calmly.

Uncle Ming, I found nothing.

Listening to Hashirama's answer, Senju Akira rubbed his chin with one hand and said meaningfully: Is that so...

Hashirama frowned and asked in confusion: "Did they give up this jungle as an ambush site and choose other places? But except for these few woods nearby, other places are not suitable for ambushes. Or do they want to confront us directly?"

Hashirama's voice interrupted Senju Akira's meditation. Looking at the child with a serious expression waiting for an answer, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub Hashirama's soft hair. "It's really strange. All the family members of my cousin Furuka have curly hair, but only Hashirama's hair is so soft. Could it be that Tobirama has a genetic mutation in IQ? Is Hashirama a physical mutation?"

Although he was thinking about something inappropriate, it did not stop Senju Ming from answering: Ha, Shimura does not have the courage and strength to confront us Senju head-on. Since these woods have been explored, we only need to leave our tribesmen outside the woods to guard against the enemy. Hashirama, come back with me now, and you can go find Itama.

Hearing that he could go find his brother, Senju Hashirama left in a hurry. In his previous life, Itama died in the first mission. Although the mission has changed now and he is here, Hashirama still can't feel at ease. Seeing Hashirama running away quickly, Senju Akira couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "What a good relationship between brothers."

Back? How is it? Senju Fujian was frowning as he checked the information from the clan. Sensing the chakra aura of Senju Ming in the room, he asked anxiously.

Yes, Chief, we have checked everywhere outside and found no signs of ninja activity, whether in the woods or by water, and no traps. The other party is either operating far away or has not arrived yet.

Really? Ming, a few days ago you asked the clan to investigate the movements of the Uchiha clan. This is the information just sent by the clan. While thinking about what happened recently, Senju Fujian handed the information he was reading to Senju Ming.

Looking at the display in his hand - the Uchiha clan has not accepted any missions recently, and the clan members have been strictly guarding the safety of the clan territory. In addition, the Uchiha and Takada families had contact half a month ago, and then Uchiha Tajima led a team of experts away and has not returned yet. Senju Ming finally couldn't help but let out a low sneer.

The Takada family is not stupid. They knew that Sato hired the Senju, and on the surface they said they hired Shimura to lower our vigilance. Did they actually hire Uchiha before that? It seems that they are determined to get this village!

It's no wonder that we couldn't find any traces of ninja activities or traps in the woods. With the insight of the Sharingan, it's no problem to simply confirm the situation of the village through the woods. Moreover, the Uchiha are good at fire escape, and these woods themselves are the biggest trap. They haven't taken action yet, probably because they think there are not enough people. Once we let down our vigilance and all go in to search, we will become fuel for the fire escape. Even if we escape by chance, we will probably be surrounded by Uchiha's people outside.

Ha, Uchiha Tajima is indeed insidious! Senju Fukan was so angry that he slammed the table hard.

"Chief, calm down," Senju Ming calmly comforted his irritable cousin, "Since Uchiha intends to get rid of us in one go, why don't we give him this chance?"

Ming, are you talking about the Shadow Clone Technique?

Yes, chief, 50 clan members have mastered the Shadow Clone Technique in the past few days. According to their chakra capacity, each person can create up to 5 shadow clones at a time. With a little dressing up and keeping a distance, as long as there is a physical entity and chakra aura, they will not be suspicious. More than 200 Senju entering the trap at the same time is enough for Uchiha Tajima to make up his mind to take action.

Haha, after they use Fire Style to ignite the forest, the fire will cover up the disappearance of the shadow clones. While they are relaxing and waiting for the fish to slip through the net, we can rush out and surround them. Besides, the forest has been ignited by themselves, and they will be the ones who cannot escape!

Good! Very good! You are amazing, Ming. Senju Fujian couldn't help but pat Senju Ming's shoulders vigorously. As long as he thought of Uchiha Tajima's distorted face because of the failure of the plan, Senju Fujian was happy as if he had eaten two more bowls of rice! !

However, we cannot act immediately. We just finished the search today. If we act immediately, the other party might get suspicious. For now, let's pretend that we found nothing and keep everything as usual.

Well, you're right.

Just as Senju Butsuma and Senju Akira were discussing secretly, Senju Hashirama had already found his younger brother, and with the approval of his uncle Duolun, he took his younger brother Itama and walked slowly in the village to appreciate the scenery that was different from that of the clan.

Wow, brother, look, there is a shop selling food here. Hashirama looked at the place where his brother's finger was pointing. There was a small shop there. The aroma of food came faintly from the door. When he walked in, he saw that they were selling meatballs, Japanese sweets and other desserts. Senju Itama couldn't help swallowing: It was Japanese sweets, they smelled so good!

Seeing his brother's greedy look, Hashirama couldn't help but laugh: After all, Shirakawa Village always interacts with passing merchants, so over time, these things naturally came into being in the village. Itama, do you want to eat Japanese confectionery? Big brother can buy it for you.

Really? Really? I want it.

Taking the Japanese sweets and two skewers of meatballs handed over by the boss, the two brothers planned to eat them while walking. At this moment, Hashirama noticed a prying and eager gaze and the sound of swallowing saliva. He looked in the direction of the gaze and found that it was a little girl hiding in the corner. She was dirty all over, and her hands were nervously grasping the corners of her tattered clothes. She was looking at the meatballs in her hands pitifully and swallowing saliva constantly. She was obviously very eager but still stood there without saying a word.

Hashirama was silent for a moment, then squatted down with a smile, "Little sister, do you want this?" Then he handed a bunch of meatballs in his hand to the little girl. The little girl looked at Hashirama with some fear and looked at the meatballs in front of her with desire. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Thank you, big brother," and then she took the meatballs and ran away.

It’s Izumi from Xiaozhu’s family. How pitiful! After the old village chief passed away, only this child and his paralyzed grandmother were left. Doesn’t the new village chief Noda care about him?

Oh, that village chief was sent from above, and he has no feelings for the village. After he arrived, he was busy receiving those merchants. I don’t know what he was talking about? How could he have time to care about us!

Alas, we can only help her more in the future. The old village chief has worked for the village all his life. Even if Village Chief Noda doesn't care, we can't just watch Koizumi and the others starve to death.

Uncle, are you saying that the current Noda village chief is new? Hashirama, who had been listening to the villagers' conversation, couldn't help but ask.

Ah, it's the ninja-sama. Perhaps because they saw Hashirama helping the little girl in the village just now, several villagers who gathered together to chat looked at each other and finally answered Hashirama's question in a low voice.

Yes, the old village chief died suddenly of an acute illness half a month ago. Two days later, the current village chief Noda came and said that he was appointed by the adults of the Sato family to manage the village. However, after he came, he has been receiving some unfamiliar merchants alone and did not allow everyone to go out and discuss. He said that for the future of the village, he was contacting some new cooperative merchants.

Listening to the villagers' explanation, Hashirama instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the problem for the time being, so he could only go back and tell his father. Thinking of this, Hashirama thanked the villagers and hurried away with his brother.
