Hashirama Reborn

It was just daybreak, and Itama Senju, who had taken care of Hashirama all night, was ready to take a rest. Uncle Duolun, who had just come to change the bandages, had already explained that after a night's observation, Hashirama's wound had not worsened. Although he still showed no sign of waking up, for now all they could do was let his brother rest quietly and recover slowly.

Just as Senju Itama was about to lie down on the bed to take a rest, there was a loud roar suddenly coming from the distance. Before the frightened Senju Itama could go out to check, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the house. With a bang, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Senju Doron rushed in, picked up Senju Hashirama and turned to leave, while urging Senju Itama, "Itama, pack up your things quickly and go with me. Uchiha is attacking the village. The clan leader asked me to take you and other tribesmen who have lost their combat effectiveness to hide."

What! Senju Itama was startled, and hurriedly grabbed his brother's medicine and water bag and put them in his backpack, and hurriedly followed behind Senju Doron. The two of them took the unconscious Hashirama and quickly fled to a remote corner in the north of the village.

Senju Itama asked anxiously as he ran: "Uncle Duolun, the Uchiha are all outside now, where can we escape to? Even if we escape, what about father and the others? Can't I stay and help? Or can we hide together, and wait for Brother Hashirama and the other clan members to recover, and then we can fight the Uchiha?"

Hearing Itama's childish words full of concern, Senju Doron couldn't help but let out a soft laugh: Don't worry, Itama, all of this has been anticipated by your father and your Uncle Amin, and it's all part of their plan. Your father has already discussed it with us last night. Now that Hashirama is seriously injured, they have obtained a new strong man with two magatama. Uchiha Tajima will definitely not miss this great opportunity and will definitely launch an attack in the near future. Our current strength is not enough to deal with them. Instead of waiting to be exhausted by them, it is better to let them in first. When they let down their vigilance, we will take the opportunity to counterattack.

What, what!? Hearing Uncle Duolun's answer, Senju Banjian couldn't help but exclaimed. Was everything that happened before his eyes what his father and the others had expected? Great, Uncle Duolun, where are we going now?

When we first arrived at this village, we secretly dug a secret passage. I will place Hashirama and those clansmen who have temporarily lost their fighting power due to the side effects of the Shadow Clone there.

They are just like you. Since they came to this village, they have never been exposed to the Uchiha clan. So as long as you are not discovered, the Uchiha will not know that there are dozens of Senju waiting to ambush them right under their noses!

The rest of my clansmen and I have already made our appearance in the last battle with the Uchiha clansmen. If we disappear from the village now, the Uchiha clansmen will know that we are hiding and will begin to search the village seriously. Hashirama and the other clansmen who have lost their combat effectiveness will be exposed to them.

Don't worry about us. After we settle you, we will pretend to be defeated and quickly flee the village. After we all leave, they should move into the village and wait for the Takada family to take over while ensuring that we will not launch another counterattack during this period.

As long as you can hold on for these two days and wait until the tribesmen recover their fighting strength, you can use the Shadow Clone Technique to cooperate with us from inside and outside, and then we can successfully take back the village in one fell swoop!

With a creak! The few of them finally arrived at a dilapidated house, pushed open the old door, entered the house, moved the bed and uncovered the floor, and a narrow ramp appeared in front of them. Sliding down it was an empty cellar. At this time, this place was already filled with dozens of Senju clan members. After placing the unconscious Hashirama on the ground, Senju Doron turned around and earnestly instructed Senju Itama.

Itama, as you can see, although there are three days' worth of food and water stored here, the tribesmen who stay here have no way to protect themselves these days, so the only one who can protect them in these two days is you. They are the key to the success of the counterattack in this mission. You must protect them from being discovered by the Uchiha at all costs. Remember, don't go out no matter what you hear. After the tribesmen have recovered their combat power, we will come to find you!

At this point, Senju Doron suddenly fell silent for a while, as if he found it difficult to speak what he was going to say next. After a while, under the somewhat frightened gaze of Senju Itama, he finally spoke slowly: If this place is suspected by the Uchiha, then before they plan to search, Itama you need to be prepared to sacrifice yourself, do your best to divert them and protect everyone here. Can you complete this task?

Senju Itama clenched his fists in an instant, and the fear made him tremble slightly uncontrollably, but he still forced himself to calm down, and slowly looked around at his beloved elder brother and the tribesmen around him who had lost their combat effectiveness. Thinking that he was the only one who could protect them now, he finally took a deep breath and responded loudly: Senju Itama, I will complete the mission at the cost of my life!

very good!

Looking at the child who was trying hard to suppress his fear, Senju Doron couldn't help but nod in admiration in his heart, "They are worthy of being the children of the clan leader. Every one of them is a good man of Senju! Regardless of whether this mission is successful or not, Senju Itama has now overcome his timidity and has become an excellent ninja at this moment." He could then leave with peace of mind.

As the sound of the floor closing came from the entrance of the passage, Senju Itama knew that Uncle Doron had left. He couldn't help but move closer to his brother. Even though Hashirama was still in a coma and not only could he not protect himself, but also needed his protection, as long as he stayed with his brother, he would have endless courage and feel extremely at ease.

At this moment, his father and clansmen are fighting with the Uchiha clan outside. Maybe in a while, the enemy will enter the village and may even search this place. At that time, in order to protect everyone here, he must go out to lure the enemy. He may die. Although death is terrible, when he thinks that he can protect his clansmen and brother in this way, Senju Itama feels that everything is worth it!

There was no light and no concept of time in the cellar. Senju Itama had no idea how much time had passed or whether the battle outside was over. Looking at the tribesmen around him who were resting and trying to recover, Senju Itama did not want to show his timid expression and make everyone worry. He could only suppress his fear, tightly gripping the shuriken, staring intently at the movements outside, trying to calm down and listen, not wanting to miss even the slightest movement.

cough cough...

In the silent darkness, a hoarse cough startled Senju Itama and he almost jumped up. He turned around and found that the person who made the sound was his brother Senju Hashirama, who finally woke up from his deep sleep after being in a coma for more than a day.

Brother Hashirama! You finally woke up!

Listening to his brother's surprised and choking voice, Hashirama's drowsy consciousness finally gradually regained consciousness. After slowly looking around, he asked in confusion: Ahem, Itama, where is this place? Why are we here?
