The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

Thousand-Armed Buddha revealed a slightly subtle expression.

"Hashirama disappointed me, Tobirama surprised me."

"They actually developed a ninjutsu like the Impure World Reincarnation, which revived me from my death and gave me the opportunity to see the ninja world of the future. Moreover, Konoha is on the path to unification."

"This is really something to look forward to."

"If Konoha were to unify the ninja world, I would definitely revive the Senju clan name."

"At that time, I will resurrect Uchiha Tajima using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"Let him see who wins between the Senju and Uchiha."

Uchiha Tajima was Senju Butsuma's lifelong enemy.

The current Uchiha clan, Senju Butsuma, doesn't care at all.

He's just a stranger, a junior colleague.

According to Tobirama Senju, the Uchiha clan members in Konoha are all of little use.

Only the Uchiha clan, hiding in the shadows and targeting Konoha, deserve our attention.

Qing, we've arrived.

Before they even arrived, Qing had already seen Senju Butsuma's appearance through his Byakugan.

A middle-aged man.

He has a somewhat rugged appearance.

He was wearing red armor.

A light green headscarf was tied around her forehead.

Qing actually didn't have much information about Thousand Hands Butsuma.

It's from a very long time ago.

It was the era before the emergence of ninja villages.

Therefore, Kirigakure never studied Thousand-Armed Butsuma.

Ao could only speculate about Butsuma Senju's situation based on the situations of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

"Wood Release? Definitely not."

"But it's very likely that he'll use the Water Release technique that Tobirama Senju is good at."

"In addition, the Senju clan members have strong physiques and huge amounts of chakra."

"They will be very skilled in physical combat."

"In his lifetime, Butsuma Senju's strength was probably neither as great as Hashirama Senju nor Tobirama Senju."

"After being resurrected by Edo Tensei, there will be further weakening."

"Based on the overall assessment, he is probably above Sarutobi Sasuke, but not by much."

This is Qing's assessment of the situation in the Thousand-Handed Buddha's chamber.

"Young man, state your name."

The Thousand-Handed Buddha looked towards Qing.

Upon noticing Ao's white eye, she recalled the information Tobirama Senju had given her.

Ao possesses the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, is skilled in sensory ninjutsu, and wields the Zanpakuto, the Evil King Flame Killing Sword.

It can create extremely powerful fire attacks.

The flames reminded Senju Butsuma of his past battles with the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, in Tobirama Senju's assessment, Ao's strength was not considered very strong.

It's just that the White Eye's ability is special.

All things considered, he is probably one of the best among elite Jonin.

Therefore, the look in Senju Butsuma's eyes as he looked at Ao became even more gloomy.

Am I being looked down upon?

They actually sent only a mere Qing to fight against me?

Because he died too young, Kirigakure was unaware of its own strength?

However, they should respect the term "thousand hands".

"The Garden of Mist, the Hidden Village of Mist, Blue!"

Thousand-Handed Buddha snorted coldly.

"I've heard of your name, but I never expected the Mist Garden to send only you. That's a gross underestimation of me. In that case, you shall bear the brunt of my wrath!"

Qing was not afraid at all.

"Those who have already died should just stay in the spirit world and sleep peacefully. Why would they come back?"

"A lust for the power and status of the living?"

“Old man of the Senju family, someone like you is not worthy of me addressing you as a senior.”

"Besides, you are no match for me."

“You’re an outdated old man. You didn’t even succeed in your own era, let alone in this one. I am enough. There’s no need to mobilize anyone from the Mist Court!”

Before he could finish speaking, Qing had already drawn his sword.

"I possess a sword capable of moving mountains and filling seas!"

A sharp aura suddenly burst forth from Qing's body.

The people of Konoha had full confidence in Senju Butsuma.

"After all, he is the father of Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama!"

"That Qing is just an ordinary Jonin who relies on the power of his Zanpakuto."

However, as the battle progressed, the Konoha ninja were surprised to find that Senju Butsuma was completely helpless against Ao.

All the attacks were perfectly dodged by Qing.

However, Senju Butsuma was unable to completely dodge Ao's attacks.

The disadvantages of Thousand-Handed Buddha are becoming increasingly greater.

The advantages of green are becoming increasingly significant.

"Lord Butsuma has been defeated!"

Upon realizing this, a squad of Konoha ANBU ninja quickly moved in.

Thousand-Handed Buddha was somewhat unwilling.

Years later, he was resurrected and returned, but when he faced an unknown nobody, he did not gain the upper hand and was about to be defeated, which made Senju Butsuma lose face.

However, Senju Butsuma knew very well that he was no match for Ao.

Therefore, after pretending to struggle for a while, he withdrew at the request of the Konoha Anbu ninja.

In Uehara Osamu's view, it was just like the behavior of "refusing" red envelopes from elders during the Lunar New Year in his previous life.

While refusing, he opened his pocket.

The battle between Ao and Senju Butsuma became a landmark event in the ninja world.

Everyone knows that the arrival of a new era is inevitable.

The strength of Konoha and Kirigakure is growing stronger and stronger.

The ninja world is bound to enter an era of grand alliances.

So, the question becomes whether to choose the Garden of Mist or Konoha.

A ninja squad from Tagakure village arrived at the Garden of Mist.

"Mizukage-sama."

Yagura shook his head.

“In the Garden of Mist, call me Speaker.”

"Yes, Mr. Speaker."

"Your village, Tagakure, want to join our Garden of Mist?"

"Yes."

A ninja from Tagakure said, "A new ninja world has been formed. We from Tagakure believe that the Garden of Mist is the better leader. Konoha is too evil."

These words brought a satisfied smile to Yagura's face.

In fact, the reason why the Village of Hidden Souls chose to do so was simply because they felt that the Garden of Mist had a higher chance of winning.

Joining the Garden of Mist will bring more benefits to the Tanin Village.

Yagura certainly knew this.

But Yagura was very satisfied with Tashinobu's attitude.

I won't go into the details.

The addition of the Hidden Village will inevitably be accompanied by the ninjas moving into the Mist Garden, the leader becoming a councilor, gaining the right to vote in the council, and the obligations and benefits that will be required in the Mist Garden.

Inevitably, a round of heated debate and haggling ensued.

The moment the leader of the Hidden Village signed his name on the Mist Garden Alliance Agreement.

Yagura gave the order.

"Go, spread this message throughout the entire ninja world!"

"Yes, Mr. Speaker!"

Soon, news of the Hidden Village joining the Garden of Mist spread throughout the ninja world.

Some ninja villages that had not yet taken action began to feel anxious.
