Hashirama Reborn

As the puppeteer was captured by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the originally tense atmosphere on the battlefield eased instantly, and everyone's tense nerves were finally relaxed. Now, as long as the opponent's leader came out to negotiate, they would win.

Suddenly, just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, a sharp chakra thread silently cut through the air and headed straight for Haruyuki who was standing nearby. The thread was so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. Before Haruyuki could react, the thread had tightly wrapped around her neck. She instantly had difficulty breathing and her face turned pale. The samurai Genichirō Takada who was guarding Haruyuki reacted quickly and swung his sword, trying to cut the thread, but another thread in the dark pierced his palm holding the sword. He could not help but let out a muffled groan, and the samurai sword fell weakly to the ground. At the same time, the thin samurai who was quietly standing nearby couldn't help but let out a sharp cry.

The ninja in front turned around with an exclamation, and saw a figure slowly walking out from the darkness. It was the leader of the puppeteers - Retsu. He looked at the restrained Haruyuki-hime expressionlessly, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

It seems that you are still too young.

Ignoring the injured warrior next to him, Reito sneered: "Do you think you can rest easy just because you captured my people? The puppet master's methods are beyond your imagination. Release my people now, otherwise, Princess Haruyuki will die."

With the appearance of Reito, the situation that had been easing suddenly reversed. Senju and Uchiha became nervous again. They did not expect that the other party would have such means. Instead of choosing to rescue people or leave directly, they directly controlled Haruyuki Hime and curbed their actions?

Uchiha Tajima and Senju Butsuma looked at each other and saw understanding in each other's eyes. The current situation was not good for them. As the leader of the puppeteers, Retsu's strength was unfathomable and his methods were cunning and changeable. If they could not come up with a countermeasure quickly, Haruyuki Hime would sooner or later face an unexpected situation.

Reto had already walked behind Haruyuki. He moved his fingers slightly, and the chakra thread tightened slightly. Haruyuki's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but let out a painful groan. The folding fan she was holding in her hand to cover her face fell to the ground, revealing a pitiful and beautiful face. She waved her hands to tear the thread around her neck, but was frightened by the murderous figure behind her. She could only let her arms hang helplessly on both sides, her body stiff in place.

Seemingly satisfied with Princess Haruyuki's understanding, Reito no longer paid attention to this fragile hostage. He looked warily at the Uchiha and Senju clans who had put him in danger several times. He laughed coldly twice. As expected, the Uchiha and Senju clans were the powerful ones in the Land of Fire. They were able to escape unscathed even when facing the tailed beasts. It was really admirable. However, he had to make a choice quickly, either let my people go or watch Princess Haruyuki fall here.

Reito still had a smug smile on his face. He had thought that the two tribes would compromise for the safety of Haruyuki Hime and let him and his people go. However, at this moment, the development of the matter was beyond his expectations.

Princess Haruyuki, the woman who was originally fragile and helpless under the control of his chakra threads, suddenly burst out with amazing strength. She turned her wrists hanging on both sides of her body, and held a sharp shuriken in her right hand, stabbing behind her as fast as lightning. Before Reito could even react, he felt a sharp pain coming from his abdomen.

He looked at Haruyuki in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and anger. This fragile woman could actually act so resolutely and decisively. He lowered his head to look at his abdomen, only to see that blood had already dyed his clothes red. The pain made him frown, and he subconsciously reached out to pull out the shuriken, but Haruyuki's hand held the shuriken tightly, leaving him no chance to escape.

Reito felt uneasy for no reason, his fingers trembled, and he tightened the chakra thread, trying to strangle Haruyuki's neck and regain control of the fragile hostage who he regarded as his prey. However, as the chakra thread tightened, the expected blood did not appear. At this moment, a cloud of smoke spread out, the chakra thread loosened, and Haruyuki's figure disappeared!

Reito was furious and looked around angrily, trying to find the trace of Haruyukihime. However, there was no other sound in the smoke except his own panting. Reito's thoughts turned rapidly, thinking of the Uchiha and Senju who disappeared in the last battle, and the thin warrior next to Haruyukihime just now, who screamed like a woman. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. Could it be...

Reito suddenly turned his head to look at the thin warrior, only to see that the other party had a face completely different from Haruyukihime. However, after careful observation, he found that although the face was hard, the body was soft and graceful, and the exposed neck and finger skin were smooth and delicate. This was definitely not what a samurai should look like. This was actually a woman disguised as a man!

The real Haruyuki-hime!

Reto roared and rushed towards the real Haruyukihime angrily. Takada Samurai on the side endured the pain in his palm and stood in front of the other party, but was fiercely thrown away by the chakra thread in Reto's hand. Looking at the ferocious-looking puppeteer who controlled the sharp silk thread to attack, Haruyukihime, who was disguised as a samurai, could not help but scream.

Ah!

Before Reito could continue his attack, a sudden heat wave from behind forced him to turn around. The next second, a blazing flame whizzed past, the dust dissipated, leaving only a deep fire pit. Reito looked back with a grim expression, and saw a black-haired Uchiha boy staring at him expressionlessly with a pair of Sharingan with strange patterns on them, his hands kept forming seals. It was obvious that the powerful fire escape just now was released by him.

At the same time, Hashirama Senju formed seals with his hands, and a powerful force of wood escape surged out of his body. The tree seeds buried deep underground instantly grew up, forming a thick vine, breaking through the soil layer and trapping Reito inside.

Facing the joint attack of the two, a hint of surprise flashed in Retsuto's eyes, "Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima didn't take action. Do they think these two little brats can defeat him?!"

hateful!

The anger of being looked down upon made Reito let out a loud roar, and the chakra threads in his hands shook violently. The next second, ten puppets in long robes appeared, waving their weapons, destroying the surrounding vines and rushing towards Haruyuki Hime.

Bang! The puppet's attack missed. Haruyuki was grabbed by the waist by the vines that appeared from behind her and dragged to the back. Unwilling to give the enemy another chance to attack, Uchiha Madara rushed over at high speed while Retsuto was manipulating the puppet to attack Haruyuki. Ding! The shuriken collided with the chakra thread, but the fragile thread was intact. A trace of disdain flashed in Retsuto's eyes. The next second, the puppet turned around quickly and swung its arms. The sharp weapon instantly pierced the body of the boy in front of him. Retsuto's mouth curled up subconsciously, but the next second, he suddenly felt a sharp pain.

puff!
