Hashirama Reborn

The night was falling, the moon was high in the sky, and there was silence all around except for the low rustling sound of the sand dunes in the distance blown by the breeze. At the foot of a low hill, several ox carts formed a large circle with several blurry figures sitting in them. With the faint moonlight, it could be seen that they were none other than Princess Haruyuki, the target of this mission, and the chiefs of the two major ninja clans hired by the daimyo, Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima.

The weather in the desert at night was extremely bad, and the biting cold wind felt like a knife cutting on the face, making it unbearable. However, Princess Haruyuki seemed not to feel the cold. Her posture was still upright, and her black hair was draped behind her like silk. A folding fan covered her face well, revealing only a pair of eyes that were filled with worry. A pleasant voice came from behind the fan.

Along the way, thanks to the protection of the ninja masters, we can get here safely. I would like to thank the ninja masters here. As she said this, Haruyuki slightly bowed her head to express her gratitude. Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima moved two steps in panic and said in unison that they dared not.

Princess Haruyuki did not care about the attitudes of the two people. She just raised her head again and said sadly: I understand. I have come this far thanks to the protection of the ninja masters. Not long ago, I learned that Chiyo had spoken rudely to the two masters. Even so, the two masters did not take it to heart. Such a broad mind really makes me admire you.

I have already severely reprimanded her. Please rest assured, my lords. No one will dare to disobey your orders during the rest of the journey.

Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima did not speak, but just lowered their heads silently as if listening. Seeing that no one answered, Princess Haruyuki was silent for a moment, then she spoke: Entering the desert is the beginning of danger. At that time, I think it is not safe enough to rely solely on the close protection of the samurai led by Lord Takata. Do the two ninja masters have any good ideas?

Senju Fusuma couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He would never know what Haruyuki Princess dared to say now. If the maid hadn't received her order, it would be impossible for her to provoke the two ninja clan leaders. It was obvious that Haruyuki Princess didn't want to suffer and wanted to test the attitudes of the two clans, so she let the maid be the first to take action. Now that she was facing danger, she sold out the maid to pretend to be innocent in front of him to keep him safe. She really treated him, Senju Fusuma, as an idiot.

But the mission still has to be completed. No matter what, Princess Haruyuki must be sent to the Land of Lightning safely. Thinking of this, Senju Furuma pretended to be fearful and replied: Princess Haruyuki is joking. With the abilities of Takata Bushi and others, it is most appropriate for them to protect you closely. The Uchiha clan has amazing insight. It is most suitable for them to be responsible for monitoring the surroundings and clearing the first wave of enemies. Our Senju clan is thick-skinned and will stay on the periphery. We will be responsible for repelling the enemies who sneak in from the Uchiha clan. We will not let them get close to you, please rest assured.

Princess Haruyuki frowned as she looked at the Senju clan leader opposite her, her lips tightly pursed behind her folded fan, obviously not very satisfied with this plan. She then looked at the Uchiha clan leader on the side.

Uchiha Tajima's expression darkened, "You bastard! Senju Fusuma, do you want to use Uchiha as cannon fodder while Senju An'an stays behind to pick up the spoils?! Then don't blame me", Uchiha Tajima curled his lips and smiled, looking at Senju Fusuma on the side, he said meaningfully: The arrangement of the Senju clan leader is indeed the best solution at present, but if Haruyukihime is really worried, I know a way that can better guarantee Haruyukihime's safety, but I don't know if the Senju clan leader is willing to use it.

Seeing Princess Haruyuki's slightly brightened eyes and the gloomy look of Senju Butsukan beside him, Uchiha Tajima chuckled and said with pretended admiration: Princess Haruyuki, you don't know, the Senju has a secret technique that can transform into a physical clone. Even our Uchiha's Sharingan cannot discern the difference between the original body and the clone. You can let the Senju's tribe use this technique to transform into Princess Haruyuki's appearance and attract the enemy's attention on your behalf. The enemy's target is only Princess Haruyuki. With the cover of the Senju's tribe, you can change your clothes and blend in with the samurai. You will be protected by the samurai and the Senju's tribe. This will be safer. What do you think?

Princess Haruyuki blinked slowly and looked at the Senju clan leader with bright eyes.

Senju Butsuma: ………………“Uchiha Tajima, you sinister villain! You actually want to cheat the Senju clan’s Shadow Clone Technique. What? Are you planning to take advantage of the Senju clan’s casting of the technique and use your rabbit eyes to copy it?! Don’t dream. This ninjutsu is not something you can use with that little chakra you have. Be careful or you might get exhausted!” He felt like vomiting blood in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend that he had just remembered that he had this ninjutsu and actively expressed his agreement.

After getting a satisfactory plan, Princess Haruyuki finally nodded slowly and returned to her ox cart to rest, leaving Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima staring at each other fiercely. A cold wind blew by, and the two of them sneered at the same time and turned back to their respective resting places.

The place had returned to its tranquility, with only the sound of wind and waves of sand being heard. Senju Tobirama stood quietly in the shadows. He was on duty, and his successor had not arrived yet, so he could not let his guard down. He held the sword at his waist tightly with both hands and was on guard all around.

Although he has not officially entered the desert, there are still dangers everywhere. Be it cunning thieves, ferocious beasts, or even hostile ninjas, they may all attack him under the cover of night. He cannot let his guard down, let alone be negligent in the slightest.

Suddenly, Senju Tobirama's expression changed. He heard footsteps from behind. He turned around without hesitation and swung his sword, but was easily blocked by the opponent. Before Senju Tobirama could warn him, a familiar voice sounded, and the man walked out of the shadows. With the help of the moonlight, Senju Tobirama could see his face clearly. It turned out to be Uchiha Izuna's brother, the guy called Uchiha Madara.

Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put away the knife, and said unhappily: What are you doing here?

Uchiha Madara tilted his head slightly and looked at the white-haired child opposite him, thinking absentmindedly, "The black and white haired guy last time was at least a little similar to Hashirama, but the white-haired guy in front of me doesn't look like Hashirama at all. Are they really brothers?" Although he was thinking about irrelevant things in his mind, it did not stop Uchiha Madara from speaking: You guy, you always peek at Izuna, what do you want to do?

Senju Tobirama's expression froze, and he replied in a vicious voice: I am on duty now, please leave as soon as possible and don't say weird words to disturb me!

Uchiha Madara didn't care about the other party's bad tone, and still said coldly: No matter what you want to do, if you dare to harm Izuna, I will not let you go. Without waiting for Senju Tobirama to speak, Uchiha Madara continued: Also, your night shift is over, and now I will take over, please leave.

Senju Tobirama: ……………… "Evil Uchiha!"
