I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"He was sent to the front line right after graduating from the Ninja Academy. He fell into an explosive tag trap and died at the age of twelve."

"His dream is to become Hokage."

Age and dreams, bitten hard by the desolation.

This news caused Hashirama Senju's heart to sank sharply. At that moment, he seemed to have crossed the torrent of time and witnessed the death of his grandson.

This is not because he simply believes whatever the Uchiha clan members say.

Rather, it was because he couldn't find any flaws in the words, nor the slight fluctuations in the chakra energy within the ninja's body when lying!

"Kato Dan, died in battle."

Sensing Hashirama Senju's emotion and Tobirama Senju's sudden silence, Ara did not stop there; on the contrary, this was just the beginning.

"He was Tsunade's lover, a powerful ninja, who died in a precise ambush by the enemy."

My dream is to become Hokage.

The word "dream" was mentioned and emphasized again.

Those overlapping dreams added an extra layer of strangeness to the overall environment.

"Tsunade-senpai."

Hearing this name in this situation, even Hashirama Senju, the former God of Shinobi, couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, a blonde girl with pigtails appeared in Yu Zhi's memory, laughing heartily while holding a thick stack of banknotes.

That girl didn't learn anything else from a young age, but she did learn her gambling addiction.

"After losing her younger brother Nawaki and her lover Dan Kato, Tsunade was heartbroken and left Konoha. She has never returned since."

"Life or death unknown."

Araki wanted to say something even more extreme and outrageous.

However, when he noticed the First Generation's forced self-restraint and considered his previous statements in defense, he chose a relatively gentle approach.

Even so,

Even though Hashirama Senju didn't hear the news of his granddaughter's death directly, a nameless sorrow still surged up within him.

Konoha,

Konoha was originally founded by the Senju clan of the forest and the Uchiha clan.

To this day, his little princess has no home and prefers to wander outside; the head of the Uchiha clan, at a young age, has endured the pain that Madara suffered in the past and awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

This situation is beyond words.

Not only Hashirama Senju, but even Tobirama Senju, who always maintained rationality and remained wary of the Uchiha clan, fell into a brief silence.

However, this doesn't prove anything!

"War is cruel. During the Warring States period, we had already stepped onto the battlefield at a much younger age."

"Several brothers died as a result when they were still young."

It's unclear whether this outburst was intended for the Uchiha descendants in his field of vision or for his elder brother.

After all, compared to this evil race, he was still willing to choose to believe in his students.

Nawaki and Kato Dan both died because of the ravages of war, and Tsunade's departure was simply because this place was a place of sorrow for them. As for the dream of becoming Hokage, that's practically the dream of every Konoha ninja, and it can't be used as a basis for conspiracy theories.

but,

Is this over?

No, it's far from over.

"Do you still believe that the other members of the Senju clan also gradually disappeared because of war or the order to assimilate into the village?"

Arakawa looked at Tobirama Senju with a sarcastic expression, who remained calm and indifferent.

"it is a pity."

"not at all."

"Their fate was even more tragic; not a single one of them was able to leave a name or a trace of their existence."

"And it is precisely because they need to maintain the image of Konoha in the hands of your successor that they must not be known to outsiders."

At this point, Huang suddenly paused.

Just like fishing enthusiasts who have prepared their bait, they also need to give the fish some time to react.

Chapter 544 A lie aided by truth can instantly construct the truth!

[It concerns experiments developed by those Wood Release ninjas!!]

There was no need for Uchiha Ara to explain further.

The very specific descriptions he used, such as "for the sake of Konoha's image," "to erase the traces of his existence," and "the Senju lineage," were enough for Hiruzen Sarutobi to guess the past that the other party wanted to enumerate!

However, he did not show any direct panic or fear on his face.

Indeed, some members of the Senju clan were used as experimental subjects to transplant cells of their ancestor, Hashirama Senju, in an attempt to create the next ninja with Wood Release.

Such a human experiment could not possibly be openly announced to the outside world.

However, the fundamental purpose of carrying out this experiment is ultimately for the future of Konoha, and to better seal and control the Tailed Beasts, so that the vessel for sealing the Tailed Beasts can be stopped at the first moment when it is on the verge of going out of control, so as to avoid causing greater disasters and calamities.

He has a clear conscience regarding this action.

After all, the Wood Release ninjutsu is a counter to Tailed Beasts, something that other ninjutsu, apart from powerful sealing techniques, can hardly achieve.

Now, the Uzumaki clan no longer exists, and the cost of using the Reaper Death Seal is too high each time, leaving only the path of recreating Wood Release.

Most importantly, all the Senju clan ninjas who underwent Hashirama cell transplants did so voluntarily. They were selfless individuals who inherited the Will of Fire and were willing to sacrifice their lives to silently maintain the development of Konoha!

The only thing that puzzles Hiruzen Sarutobi is that this is an extremely secret matter buried within the flow of time. Not to mention Ara Uchiha, even the previous clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha, might not know about it.

The test subjects and researchers who participated in this project have all returned to dust and are no longer able to speak. Even the former laboratory has long been destroyed, and there is no trace of its existence.

But how did Uchiha Ara, who was born after this research, know about it?

[Was it Shimura Danzo, who once spearheaded and restarted that experiment, captured by the opposing forces while on the run, and thus obtained this information?]

[Or was it this traitor who committed so many heinous acts within Konoha who leaked this information to the other party?]

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru, who still wore an amused expression, and for a moment couldn't tell what was going on.

But what truly troubled him was what Uchiha Ara wanted to do with this hidden past.

Even though he clearly knew that although the First and Second Generations were old people from the previous era, they were not like the ignorant nobles of the Land of Hot Springs who could be easily controlled by conspiracy theories.

However, the setbacks in the repeated confrontations caused some unease in his heart.

It's like having two extreme emotions that prevent one from ever truly finding peace of mind.

And it was in this state of mind that the person's voice reached Hiruzen Sarutobi's ears.

"In order to replicate the same Wood Release ninjutsu as the First Hokage, the Third Hokage initiated a human experimentation program based on the descendants of the Senju clan."

[Uchiha Ara actually knew!]

A hint of surprise flickered in the Third Generation's eyes, but it was also exactly what he had expected.

Furthermore, he is capable of explaining it; he is perfectly capable of providing an explanation!

Neither Hashirama Senju nor Tobirama Senju immediately showed any extreme emotion upon hearing this.

Because they all retain their original trust in the 'monkey'.

Everyone agrees that the latter must have conducted such human experiments for the sake of the entire Konoha village.

However, this ultimately brought a shadow of displeasure to their eyes.

After all, neither human experimentation nor the use of descendants of the Senju clan as test subjects is something that traditional ninjas like them would approve of.

Strength should be earned honestly and fairly, through one's own hard work!

Instead of building upon the lives of others.

Even if those tribesmen acted voluntarily.

At the same time, Ara's straightforward tone takes a turn here.

"None of the first Senju clan members selected and transplanted with Hashirama's cells survived. They could not withstand the terrifying power within the cells, nor could they maintain their bodies coexisting with such cells. In the end, all of them turned to wood and died."

He paused here before continuing:

"As the first batch of selected test subjects, they were all qualified ninjas of the Senju clan in their prime, and the backbone of this lineage."

"Possessing a strong physique and powerful individual strength."

Huang's voice gradually became low and deep.

It's like lamenting and remembering those who have passed away.

But a mocking smile quietly appeared on Yu Zhi's lips.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed involuntarily, and his sense of unease grew stronger.

Even if what the other party says aligns with the past and is entirely true.

But those somewhat redundant descriptions were the source of his unease.

"After the first batch of test subjects died because they could not withstand the energy brought by the transplanted interstitial cells, the project did not stop there, but soon ushered in the second experiment."

"Of course, the subjects of the experiment are still the strong young men of the Senju clan."

"However, the result is the same as above."

"The sharp, merciless wood pierced through the bones and skin of the test subjects, growing wildly from their bodies, and the shrill screams could not be isolated even by the hard nutrient tanks."

"The second experiment, once again, ended with the complete annihilation of all the Senju clan test subjects."

‘Crack. ’

A crisp sound erupted from the soles of Hashirama Senju's feet, and the crimson rubble beneath his feet was reduced to dust by a powerful surge of chakra energy.

[So this is how my own people died in such a lowly way!]

This ridiculous experiment, they actually had the nerve to do it a second time!!
