“At the time, people didn’t know he was my son.” Hashirama Senju said with some helplessness. “Tobirama advised me that this matter should not be exposed, and that I should just carry out the execution impartially.”

“Of course I know this principle. At that time, I was already a shadow and could not do anything that would endanger the safety of the village.”

"Everything I have is now connected with the countless villagers of Konoha."

"Therefore, I decided to execute Tianhong..."

"On the day of the execution, a man fell from the sky and saved him, and the man fainted afterward."

"For some reason, Tianhong's chakra suddenly exploded, completely breaking free from our restraints!"

"He flew out and almost killed Tobirama, who was blocking his way, with a single punch."

"Mito and I chased after him. I used Wood Release to trap him. Mito, seeing the uncontrollable scene before him, decided to sacrifice himself again. He would seal the Rainbow with his life."

"But she failed. Tianhong disregarded the bond between mother and son and injured Mito beforehand."

"With that kind of strength, only I can stop him..." Hashirama Senju said solemnly.

“I used Mito’s technique, with all my power, to seal the Life Jewel and the Thousand Rainbows in that spot.”

"But I also exhausted my life force as a result, and died not long after returning to the village..." Hashirama finished speaking and sighed softly.

"That's the whole story. I originally thought Tianhong could become the Asura or Indra mentioned by the Six Paths Sage, but unfortunately he is not."

"He fell into darkness and became a great demon; it was all because I failed to supervise him properly..."

Yoriichi pondered for a moment, then looked at Hashirama Senju with some sympathy.

It's unbelievable that the God of Shinobi died such a tragic death, sacrificing himself to seal away his son. As a pacifist, to have such a son...

That's really bad luck...

"Wait a minute... Where's Tsunade?" Yoriichi suddenly wondered.

"Then... what about Tsunade... Granny?"

"Tsunade was a little girl that Mito found when she used chakra to locate Tenhong a few years before the rebellion. Through chakra comparison, Mito knew that this lovely little girl was Tenhong's daughter."

"But perhaps to avoid Mito, Tenhong simply abandoned her..." Hashirama Senju said with some helplessness.

"Alright, everything's over. Can I ask you for one last favor, Uchiha Yoriichi?"

Yoriichi paused for a moment, then said:

"it is good..."

"Don't kill Tsunade, she's my granddaughter, okay?"

"Don't worry, I never intended to kill him," Yoriichi replied.

This is when Tobirama Senju was dumbfounded.

"You really are an enemy of Konoha!"

"Hmm..." Yoriichi agreed without saying a word, which immediately made Tobirama Senju scratch his head in frustration.

"What should we do, brother!"

Hashirama smiled. "Don't worry, Yoriichi Uchiha isn't a bad person."

"He possesses lofty ideals, and his ideal is to realize pacifism... perhaps he can achieve peace in the ninja world in his own way."

"I will." Yoriichi nodded in agreement, and the figures of Hashirama and Tobirama instantly turned into ashes and disappeared completely from the spot.

Yoriichi closed his eyes slightly, feeling the coolness of the night breeze.

"Everything has settled down... I can finally get some rest."

......

"What did you say? The Hyuga clan? They knocked out the guards and left?"

"It's part of it." A noisy gust of wind came from the other end of the phone.

Tsunade was woken up by the phone call, got out of bed, walked out of the room, and jumped off the windowsill.

She moved quickly, hurrying towards the edge of the village...

As feared, the village's long-standing discrimination against the Hyuga clan led to a rebellion.

"Sigh..." Tsunade felt exhausted. She had warned about this before, but those two old guys, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, were always getting in the way.

It's likely that after this incident tonight, the two of them will start complaining and criticizing Tsunade again, believing that it's all her fault.

"Heh... old man." Tsunade climbed over several roof beams and rushed into the distance.

With a powerful punch, he landed at the gates of Konoha.

"Lady Tsunade, you've arrived." It was Aburame Shiki who spoke; he was the one who had just spoken to Tsunade. He looked at the two ninjas who had been knocked unconscious on the ground with a serious expression.

The marks on it are the Hyuga clan's techniques of Rejuvenation and Pressure Point Strikes.

"Damn it, how could this happen!" Tsunade was immediately furious.

"Nearly half of the Hyuga clan has fled," Shiki Aburame said calmly.

"According to the conservative Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, who failed to escape, a man named Shinso Hyuga from the Hyuga clan at the time decided on a whim to take away the Hyuga clan members who wanted to escape."

"The two brothers said they were unaware of this matter until today."

"Bang!" Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly with a fierce look as she chiseled a mark into the wall next to the Konoha gate.

"hateful!"

Where did they go?

"Lord Jiraiya is currently pursuing them, and their exact whereabouts are unknown at the moment, but according to some members of the Hyuga clan."

"They are going to seek refuge with that man from the Land of Lightning who helped the Hyuga clan several years ago."

"Azure, the 'Hunter' of the Land of Thunder".

Chapter 121 The Twelve Hidden Heroes

"Hunter Azure? Who is that?" Tsunade had never heard of this person before. She spent most of her time away from home, indulging in eating, drinking, and gambling, and had not paid much attention to the affairs of the Land of Lightning.

"In previous years, he was an important figure at the center of power in the Land of Lightning, and in the last two years, there have been rumors that he will be the next Raikage."

"His style is to keep a low profile, so it's normal that you don't know him, but... you should at least know about the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Hmm? Is he the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?" Tsunade asked.

"No, he defeated the Eight-Tails with his bare hands."

"..." Tsunade was speechless.

"That's a bit too strong... I hope Jiraiya won't be in danger this time." Tsunade immediately frowned.

"I'd better hurry and help him too, or he'll be finished if he gets defeated by this Azure." Tsunade strode towards the door.

Defeating the Eight-Tails with bare hands... Are you kidding me? Even with her Hundred Healings and superhuman strength, she couldn't do it.

While it's true that the people of the Land of Lightning are skilled at using chakra to strengthen and encase their bodies, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?

You have to understand that the Tailed Beasts were something that all the major powers had to take seriously back then...

Powerful tailed beasts are difficult to tame, and they are important items representing the strength of major nations.

"Lady Tsunade..." Aburame Shiki suddenly spoke softly.

"If you go too, what if Konoha falls into crisis?" Zhiwei asked cautiously.

"After all, the other side is the Hyuga clan..."

"You also suspect them, don't you? They are one of the most important forces in Konoha!" Tsunade turned around and took a few steps toward Shizuka Aburame with displeasure.

"But the Uchiha..."

Tsunade fell silent. "Sigh..." she sighed softly. "Those old geezers should be guarding the house, so it should be fine if I go..."

"Lord Jiraiya told me to persuade you to stay in the village..."

Tsunade stopped in her tracks. Just as Shiki Aburame was about to say something, Tsunade suddenly placed her hands on the ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

Countless blue and white slugs were instantly summoned and crowded together in front of the Konoha gate.

"If anything happens, I'll have the slugs use the Reverse Summoning Technique." Tsunade decisively uttered these last words before leaving.

Aburame Shiki stopped talking. Helpless, he picked up the walkie-talkie and began to inform the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, of the situation.

"It's alright, let her go." Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was serious, clearly indicating that the Hyuga defection had greatly affected him.

"The more people there are, the more strength there is. This old man is here to protect us."

After hanging up the phone, Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned against the table, gazing wearily at the moonlight outside.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, why... has the situation in Konoha developed into what it is today?"

"I'm really... a little tired."

"Hello...is this Lord Mizukage?" Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly dialed Fang Zun's number.

......

As night deepened, Yoriichi dragged his weary body back to his dormitory, his face somewhat somber.

After his conversation with Hashirama Senju, he learned of Zabuza's death...

Although Orochimaru's rebellion ended in failure, he still took two of Yoriichi's companions with him.

The loyal Yamanaka Fu died, and Zabuza also died in battle protecting Haku.

"Sacrifice?... "

As Yoriichi gazed at the bright moon outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. A year ago, he had never been troubled by the thought of death.

However, the deaths of Yamanaka Fu and Zabuza dealt him a heavy blow.

Deidara and Kisame aren't here; if they were, they would probably be very sad.

Yoriichi slowly closed his eyes. Tonight, everything had settled down, and everyone was exhausted.

The Root members, and even Danzo Shimura, advised the combatants to get some rest and let the Root members who hadn't participated in the battle clean up the mess.
