Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Hahaha."

In the center of the battlefield, the white fox knight knelt on one knee. Tobirama Senju was panting slightly, forcing his blurry eyes to open wide.
Through the cracks in the visor, the ferocious fox monster in front of him was reflected in his scarlet pupils.

The surrounding environment was in a mess. The solid earth was torn into several bottomless wounds. The area within miles was turned into scorched earth. There was no sign of any life. Everything was terrifyingly silent, as if the end of the world had come.

After settling the unconscious Uchiha Kagami, he took the lead in attacking and led the strange enemy who suddenly appeared to a place far away from his disciples.
After a fierce battle, Tobirama Senju, who had just experienced a fierce battle, soon showed signs of fatigue and was easily crushed by the alien knight transformed by No. 9.

He avoided being defeated easily because of the opponent's intentional or unintentional letting him win, but at this moment he was forced into a desperate situation.

Facing such a strong enemy, did that annoying guy lose like me?

Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but the piercing pain all over his body made him stagger and almost fall. Fortunately, he stretched out his hands in time to support himself, so as not to end up in a more embarrassing situation.
"."

Number Nine looked down at the fox knight that he had easily defeated, and under his visor he showed a sense of satisfaction at having had his revenge. He had already fully repaid the humiliation that he had just suffered from Uchiha Madara.

Sure enough, what I encountered before was the hell mode, and this is the normal level.

Nodding to himself, No. 9 raised his hand, and a small branch emerged from his palm, eventually condensing into a seed that exuded a rotten smell.
"That is."

Looking at the strange seeds in the enemy's hand, Senju Tobirama's heart tightened. According to the detailed information brought back by Uchiha Gin, he naturally knew the purpose of this seed.
"Don't even think about it."

Even at the moment of desperation, Senju Tobirama still did not give up the resistance. With the determination to die, he connected the tailed beast card on his waist and hit the nine-tailed beast.

In the space of the Tailed Beast Card, the Nine-Tailed Fox had long lost its previous high spirits. At this moment, it looked as if it had lost its parents, and had no intention of paying any attention to the arrival of Senju Tobirama.
"Kyuubi, lend me some more of your power."

After entering the space, Senju Tobirama made a straightforward request in a tone that could not be refuted. After hearing it, Kyuubi slowly turned his head, and his shrill voice was filled with a strong sense of dejection.
"Don't waste your energy. You are no match for him. If it were that damned human, you would be defeated."

Facing the high-spirited Senju Tobirama, Kyuubi mercilessly poured a basin of cold water on him. As an immortal who had seen countless people, he could naturally judge the upper limit of the white-haired man in front of him.

Compared to the ridiculously strong Uchiha Madara, this relatively pleasing human was just like a rookie recruit, and was simply unable to defeat the clone that possessed the power of Hashirama Senju + the Nine-Tails.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Although Kyuubi didn't directly say that he was too weak, Senju Tobirama could clearly sense the contempt of the giant beast in front of him, so he applied again, wanting to slap the other party in the face with his own results.
"Don't try it. I heard from other beasts that after planting this seed, the beast will not die for a while. When you go back, find a good doctor and cut the seeds wherever they are planted."

But after so many years in prison, Kyuubi is no longer the simple and honest big fox. Even though Senju Tobirama is eloquent and claims to speak from the bottom of his heart, it remains unmoved.
Human heart?

It's too cold, I dare not touch it.

"Good, good, good!"

Looking at the Nine-Tails who stood by and watched, Senju Tobirama said three good words in a row, his scarlet eyes full of cruelty.

The newly established bond between man and beast quickly disintegrated, and the golden fox was short-lived and became a swan song.

In reality, after the negotiation with the Nine-Tails broke down, Tobirama Senju took off the golden Nine-Tails buckle expressionlessly, and the broken armor on his body immediately turned into golden particles and dissipated.
"Give up? It saves me some time."

Seeing this, Number Nine raised his eyebrows, thinking that Senju Tobirama had lost the will to fight, so he raised his hand and countless branches broke out of the ground.

"Water Release·Water Breaking Wave!"

However, he still underestimated the will of Senju Tobirama. Even without the blessing of the Knight System, he still did not give up the resistance. Facing the branches attacking him, he bulged his mouth and a stream of water gushed out instantly.

"Hey~"

A sharp cutting sound was heard, and the branches that were split in two fell down in pieces. Number Nine looked worried when he saw this.
"Resisting stubbornly."

His figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot. Senju Tobirama, who was spraying water, felt alarm bells ringing in his heart. His sensor radar screamed wildly, and he immediately flew back, but he was still a step too late.
"Where do you want to go?"

The ghostly figure of No. 9 appeared behind him without anyone noticing. Senju Tobirama's eyes focused, and a hard vortex water blade immediately gathered in his hand, and slashed it fiercely behind him.
"Wow~"

But unfortunately, his attack seemed to be a few inches short for some reason, and it just grazed No. 9's chest without causing any damage.
"Your judgment is a bit outrageous."

Seeing this, No. 9, who escaped danger, shook his head and sighed, which made Senju Tobirama's already dark face even darker.

"I just didn't attack the air!"

In a rage, a tornado formed by water flow rolled up around Senju Tobirama's body. The water tornado quickly expanded and was about to suck No. 9 into it.

Not only that, Senju Tobirama also took out a stack of detonating talismans from the ninja tool bag behind him, threw them into the water tornado, and clasped his hands together.
"Bang~bang~bang~"

As a burst of white smoke rose, the number of detonating talismans that originally only existed increased to hundreds.
"The technique of using each other's detonating talismans!"

The water tornado mixed with countless detonating talismans instantly caused more damage, and a hint of solemnity appeared on No. 9's face.

Although he had extraordinary defensive power, he was still somewhat stretched when faced with such a large number of detonating talismans.

"what!"

Senju Tobirama waved his hand, and the water tornado expanded again. He decided to use this move to die together with No. 9. Even if he died, he would not bow to the enemy.

"I think you're crazy."

It was too late for No. 9 to retreat and he was caught in the waterspout. He looked at Tobirama Senju who was heading for death with some disbelief, and he couldn't understand why humans didn't value their hard-earned lives.
All of these clones live to become human beings. Their biggest dream is to experience this colorful world as human beings.

Therefore, every clone that awakens its intelligence cherishes life very much.

"I don't care about you, just explode! Explode! Explode!"

Senju Tobirama no longer had time to deal with the confused No. 9. After successfully trapping the other party in his water tornado, he pressed the detonation button without hesitation.
The detonating talismans all emitted dazzling light at the same time, instantly illuminating the entire waterspout, and a scorching hot breath filled the air.

"hateful!"

Feeling the powerful destructive force contained in the detonating talisman, No. 9 cursed angrily, and the rich power of the tailed beast burst out of his body. The nine fox tail cloaks dragging behind him expanded rapidly.

The surrounding detonators began to smoke, which was a precursor to the explosion.
The fox tail behind Number Nine shook, and his figure began to move.

Seeing this scene, Senju Tobirama raised his mouth in disdain. No one could escape from the range of his move. "What a pity for this body."

According to the original steps of this move, he has now used Flying Thunder God to get out of the explosion range, with his hands on his chest and his back facing the explosion. The whole scene is very handsome.
But now the Flying Thunder God Technique is banned, he can only sacrifice this body and complete the feat of exchanging one for one with the clone.

"Huh? What do you want to do?"

Just as he was feeling sorry for his own body, Senju Tobirama noticed a figure flashing before his eyes, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"You can't die now!"

Using the fox tail behind him to move at high speed, No. 9 grabbed Tobirama Senju's neck and pulled him to his side. The heat of the detonating tags around him suddenly increased.
Just before they were about to be enveloped by the explosion, the fox tail behind Number Nine swelled and engulfed the two of them.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the sky-high flames shot up into the clouds. The hot air waves produced by the violent explosion swallowed up everything around. The hard rocks were burned into pieces, and the gravel turned into shining crystals.

Fortunately, the current battlefield is still some distance away from Uchiha Jing, otherwise poor Jing would definitely be roasted into a freshly baked suckling pig by the aftermath of the explosion.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a bottomless pit appeared in the center of the explosion, and at the bottom of the pit, a charred sphere was slowly rising.

"Crack~Crack~Crack~"

The surface is broken and cracked, with debris falling off from time to time.

After a while, the black ball unfolded, revealing two people inside who were intact.
"Why did you save me?"

Senju Tobirama frowned. Although he was shaken by the impact of the explosion, he did not have any wounds on his body.

"My tail~"

Number Nine looked at his charred fox tail with some distress. It was formed by condensing his limited Nine-Tails chakra. It would be less each time he used it.
"Save you? You think I want to save you?"

The furious No. 9 looked at Tobirama Senju's puzzled eyes and instantly became furious.

Without arguing too much, Number Nine directly used practical actions to tell the white-haired man why he wanted to save him.

"Let me in, you!"

He was seen holding Senju Tobirama's neck with one hand, and with the other hand he fiercely inserted the seed that had just condensed into the back of his head.
"what!"

The sudden heavy blow to Senju Tobirama made his eyes bulge with pain. The tearing pain at the back of his head made him think that the other party was sucking his brain.
However, the actual situation was not what he thought. After the seed was inserted into the back of his head, it quickly stretched out its rhizomes and took root. The hard shell turned into a green viscous liquid, which seeped into his head along with the rhizomes.

After a few seconds, the seed disappeared without a trace, and no wound was left on the back of Senju Tobirama's head, as if the pain just now was just an illusion.

After completing the planting of the spores of the sacred tree, No. 9 casually left Tobirama Senju behind and summed up the lessons from the previous clones' failures. He already knew that not only should the seeds not be planted in conspicuous places, but they should also be planted in the vital points of the Tailed Beast Knights.

"Humph! I don't believe I can fail this time."

Looking at Senju Tobirama who was rolling on the ground in pain with his hands covering the back of his head, a smug smile appeared on No. 9's lips. Unless this white-haired guy didn't want to live, you couldn't cut off his own head, right?
"Ahhh! What did you do to me?"

The inexplicable tearing feeling deep in his brain made Senju Tobirama lose his usual calmness. While howling in pain, he gritted his teeth and questioned the culprit in front of him.

“Just some nutrients.”

Number Nine's mission has been completed. He took a last deep look at Senju Tobirama who was lying on the ground. Without any explanation, he jumped and rushed towards the direction where Jigen and Uchiha Madara were fighting.

As for the fruit that belongs to him, he just needs to wait for it to bloom and bear fruit.

"Huhu. Huh."

Watching No. 9 leave, Tobirama Senju lying on the ground was no longer able to stop him. The remaining strength in his body was being absorbed by the roots deep in his brain at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After being implanted with the spores, he was so weak that even the speed of refining chakra became extremely slow.
"Is this the seed that Curly mentioned?"

When the pain deep in his brain eased a little, Senju Tobirama straightened up and stroked the slightly raised back of his head, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
"Is this a misfortune or a blessing?"

After resting for a while, Senju Tobirama found the place where the Uchiha Mirror was placed before according to his memory. Looking at the disciple who was still unconscious, his face was full of relief.

"I'm glad you're okay, otherwise that curly-haired guy would have fought me to death."

The purpose of the clone planting the seeds in the tailed beast knight is most likely to plunder the tailed beast's original chakra through some means. If Uchiha Madara really falls for it, Konoha will probably lose both people and money.
But now, he replaced Uchiha Madara and became the second Nine-Tails Knight.

Although his term was very short, he took the bullet for Uchiha Madara.
Not only that, but even more fortunate things are yet to come.

The him who has been planted with seeds now is not the real her.

"Now, your abacus beads have been counted empty."

Looking down at the Tailed Beast Card flashing in his hand, Tobirama Senju's eyes showed a bit of pride.
After a moment, his eyes turned sad again.

"Kyuubi, although I haven't been with you for a long time, I can feel that you are not as evil as the legend says."

"Human, what do you want to do?"

The Nine-Tails in the Tailed Beast Card Space was confused. Just after actively accepting the call from Senju Tobirama, it had already established a connection with this white-haired human.
Even though their ideas diverged later, the bridge of communication between the man and the beast did not disappear. Senju Tobirama was still able to use the Tailed Beast Card to transform, but he could no longer transform into a golden fox.

"I hope you can continue to be Konoha's tailed beast and protect everyone's smiles."

Senju Tobirama chuckled and took the initiative to cut off the connection with the Nine-Tails. The tailed beast chakra that had been supplying his body disappeared instantly.

“No, you’re crazy.”

The Nine-Tails' eyes widened, and the voice disappeared as the bridge between the two collapsed. The light of the Tailed Beast Card gradually dimmed until it turned gray.

Without the supply of the tailed beast's chakra, the spores of the sacred tree buried in Senju Tobirama's brain quickly ran wild, devouring his already low chakra in the blink of an eye.
Before his death, Tobirama Senju placed the driver in his hand and the Tailed Beast Card with shackles in it into the unconscious Kagami's arms.
After completing this series of operations, all his vitality disappeared and he slowly fell backwards.

The great genius of his generation, Tobirama Thousand Hands, fell just like that (laughs)~
The Senju clan lowered their flags to half-mast in mourning, while the Uchiha clan hung up lanterns and decorated their houses, congratulating everyone they met. The banquet lasted for three days, and then three more days, and then three more days. (End of this chapter)
