Chapter 9: Tekashiwagi

In the central area between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, the woods were filled with the smell of blood. A fierce battle had taken place here, and there were large numbers of dead bodies all around. At this moment, a middle-aged ninja was squatting on a tree. The man was wearing a black cloak and carrying a short sword under the cloak. He was very concealed, and exuded a murderous aura. The four people standing in the field were in a miserable state, seriously injured, their clothes were tattered but it could be seen that they were all wearing black robes with red clouds, and their foreheads had scratches. The corpses on the ground were wearing the same clothes as these four people. They were tense, staring at the middle-aged man with serious eyes, and confronting him.

The one wearing the black cloak is Bai Yan's father - Senju Kashiwagi.

After he completed the mission, he was on his way back to the village, around nine or ten o'clock in the evening. As for the man's face, he didn't see it clearly. There was no light in the woods and it was quite far away, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Besides, it was not strange to see a person in the woods, and the distance from there to the village was still far, so he didn't suspect that he came from Konoha Village.

When he returned to the village after a night of traveling, handed in his task and prepared to reunite with his wife and children, he suddenly learned the bad news about his wife. He couldn't believe what he heard. His blood was boiling, his emotions were overwhelming, and his mind went blank.

After knowing that his son was safe, his mood calmed down a little and he sobered up. When he was about to face it all calmly, he received unexpected information from his son and found out that the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion was not accidental, but someone did it deliberately. With this information, how could he still remain calm? He had to investigate.

After asking around in the village and organizing all the information he got, Senju Kashiwagi went to investigate the Uchiha's situation in disguise, but he found out, "Damn, why are there so many Anbu members next to the Uchiha's house?"

The person who transformed into an Uchiha entered the Uchiha clan's territory so blatantly.

After some investigation, they found no motive for the Uchiha to start this turmoil. Think about it carefully. How many people in the entire Uchiha family can contain the Fourth Generation? Fugaku? Impossible. How could the Konoha high-level officials not know about his actions? Senju Kashiwagi knew that the Uchiha's Sharingan could be improved, but he was not sure what it was. However, if they had one or two of them, it would be a great honor for their Uchiha family.

This made him even more confused, "Are there more Uchiha members outside the village?" It is not impossible.

"It seems that we have to focus on the outside of the village."

It was at this moment that a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly thought of the person he met on his way back last night. The time he appeared was not much different from the time when the Nine-Tailed Rebellion occurred, but how did he move from the village to there in such a short time? This was the most puzzling thing, but many factors pointed to that person.

So that was the decision.

Senju Kashiwagi "We must leave the village to find clues, but what about the identity of Senju Kashiwagi?"

After thinking for a while, he came up with a method, which was to kill a few Anbu members and then defect as Senju Kashiwagi. In this way, there would be no vacancy in his identity and he could avoid being exposed. So Senju Kashiwagi got rid of two Anbu members and when he left, he looked back in the direction of home.

He smiled and said to himself with a smile, "I don't know where my son got those weird Taijutsu from, but they are quite strong. Plus the Ninjutsu I left for him, I don't have to worry about anything."

"Whoosh" it disappeared.

On the third day after leaving the village, he asked around in nearby villages, but all he got was information that they had never seen it before. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it gave Senju Kashiwagi a headache.

Senju Kashiwagi complained angrily, "Don't let me find you out, or I'll chop you into eight pieces!"

At this time, five or six people suddenly appeared to rob him. He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he started fighting with them. During the fight, he sneezed twice for no apparent reason and got hit, which made him even more angry. You can imagine how miserable these robbers were.

After spending the next six months investigating the entire Land of Lightning, I actually found out something. It was said that this should be an organization. Some of them wore bamboo hats, and some did not. They wore black clothes with red clouds. Their characteristic was that their forehead guards had scratches. They were all rebel ninjas, and there were people from all five countries.

Senju Kashiwagi was stunned when he heard this information.

"An organization? Rebel ninjas. And there are people from the five countries. In other words, there are also rebel ninjas from Konoha among them." As this thought came out, he became more and more certain that the Nine-Tails' turmoil was related to them.

"But, what is their purpose? Every ninja village has a tailed beast, but only Konoha is in turmoil." Senju Kashiwagi's face was full of Nick Young.

So I thought of going to the Water Kingdom, which is not too far from here, to investigate further.

But on the way, he happened to meet two people, wearing black robes with red clouds. One was a traitor from the Hidden Mist Village, and the other was a traitor from the Hidden Iwagakure Village. Senju Kashiwagi stepped forward and pretended to ask for directions, but when the distance between them was less than a kilometer, the two men attacked without saying a word, killing decisively.

The rebel ninja of the Hidden Mist Village used "Water Style. Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" to attack Senju Kashiwagi.

Senju Kashiwagi was puzzled when he saw this. "Did they get discovered, or is it the nature of this organization to kill indiscriminately?"

So he quickly counterattacked, dodged with the instant body movement technique, and then used the "Wood Release: Impaling Technique!" A wooden thorn appeared and instantly pierced through the body of the Mizumura rebel, and he died on the spot.

Another rebel ninja glanced at his dead teammate calmly, then said, "Wood Release? Who are you? Hasn't Konoha's Wood Release been lost?"

Senju Kashiwagi: "You don't need to know. Just answer my questions and I'll let you go."

The rebel ninja from the Iwagakure Village sneered and took off his clothes, saying, "You too..." Before he could finish his words, Senju Kashiwagi killed him.

Senju Kashiwagi muttered as he searched around, "It seems that this organization is not a good one. They will attack anyone they meet. By the way, why is he taking off his clothes? I don't understand. I thought he was going to release some killer move. Bah! Why is he pretending?"

After the search, he was continuing to walk towards the woods, but suddenly a thick fog rose in the woods in front. He felt that there were many auras in the fog, and they were all very powerful. They had obviously discovered him. This fog was the ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Village. Senju Kashiwagi planned to find out.

Walking into the fog, the breath did not fluctuate. He continued to walk forward. After walking about a kilometer, the breath suddenly moved. The fog dissipated, and Senju Kashiwagi saw no less than thirty people. Some were squatting in the trees, and some were staring at him from behind the bushes. In front of him stood a guy with green pupils and a collar covering his mouth. Through the forehead protector, it can be seen that he is a rebel ninja from the ancient hidden village - Takigakure Village, but this hidden village has been extinct. These people all wore black-bottomed red cloud robes, and they were all rebel ninjas from various ninja villages.

Senju Kashiwagi smiled and said, "Interesting, a group fight, huh?"

The moment he finished speaking, his previous thick and thick state disappeared, and the murderous man with green pupils uttered a deep voice, "Kill."

The two sides turned into afterimages at the same time, colliding violently with "boom" and "bang". When they separated, there was a big pit on the ground with four or five people lying in the pit.

Just then, he heard a voice saying "Earth escape. Earth spear!"

Senju Kashiwagi quickly dodged in an instant, and a large piece of earth spikes suddenly appeared in the place where he was just now.

Senju Kashiwagi, while dodging, quickly performed "Earth Style. Earth Flow River!" to immobilize the person who used ninjutsu on him, and then quickly used "Wood Style. Tree Binding and Eternal Burial!", and the person next to him was also affected and killed instantly.

In less than a breath, three people suddenly appeared from behind and used ninjutsu at the same time, "Earth Style. Yellow Spring Swamp", "Fire Style. Great Fireball Technique", and "Wind Style. Great Breakthrough" to attack.

Senju Kashiwagi performed "Water Style. Great Waterfall Technique!", and just when he released it halfway, five people suddenly appeared around him and surrounded him, and then performed a joint ninjutsu "Five Dragon Bullet Technique!", and five attribute dragons rotated with each other like one dragon and rushed towards Senju Kashiwagi.

"Boom" a mushroom cloud rose, it was not over yet, the guy with green pupils, with five pitch-black things connected to his body, took advantage of the victory to pursue with "Fire Style: Head Hardworking", "Wind Style: Suppression" and "Lightning Style: Pseudo Darkness". The offensive was concentrated and fierce, Senju Kashiwagi couldn't resist it and was overwhelmed by the ninjutsu. Others made up for it and threw in large and small ninjutsu.

After a while, the smoke cleared and a man lay on the ground, charred like charcoal. Seeing that he had been successfully killed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The appearance of Wood Release made them feel nervous, especially the guy with green pupils. He felt guilty. He should be the leader, so he said lightly, "Let's go."

At this time, a cold voice came from a tree and said to everyone, "Have you had enough fun? I'm tired of it."

Everyone's nerves suddenly tensed up. They turned around one by one, ready to continue fighting. They looked at the tree where the sound came from and saw Thousand Hands Kashiwagi, squatting on the tree and looking at them intact. They looked at the charred corpse again, and "bang" it turned into wood and ashes.

Senju Kashiwagi shouted, "Wood Release. Wood Dragon Technique!"

A gigantic wooden dragon appeared, and then quickly rushed towards the crowd. When the dragon arrived, it let out a series of screams. Anyone who was touched by the wooden dragon's chakra would be absorbed. People were too small a target for this giant dragon, and it couldn't entangle them, so it relied on smashing and impacting them. The dragon took the lead, and two of the five pitch-black things were broken.

The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, the smoke and dust dissipated, and corpses were everywhere. Only four people were left on the field, and all of them were seriously injured.

Senju Kashiwagi clapped his hands and jumped down from the tree, slowly walking towards the four of them. Senju Kashiwagi walked forward and the four of them retreated, as if they were surrounded by me.

Senju Kashiwagi: "I'll give you a chance. If you answer my questions, I won't kill you."

Three of the four people had the urge to speak, except the one with green eyes.

The three people chattered, "Our organization is called..."

“We said, don’t…”

"I said, I..."

Before the three of them could finish their words, three black sticks flew over from behind them and shot them directly, while the green pupil seemed to be sucked in by something and flew towards one place.

Two figures gradually emerged from the woods not far away, a man and a Venus flytrap, both wearing black robes with red clouds. The man had orange hair and a hedgehog head, with black sticks stuck in his face and ears. His eyes were purple with ripples in them, and he was estimated to be less than 18 years old. As for the Venus flytrap, its age could not be determined. There was a head between two clip-like leaves, one side was black and the other side was white.

The boy stared at Senju Kashiwagi and asked, "Wood Release, are you from Konoha?"

When Senju Kashiwagi saw the boy's eyes, he knew that these were the legendary "Rinnegan". It was said that the one who possessed these eyes was the son of God.

Senju Kashiwagi glanced at him and asked, "Are you still fighting?"

Flytrap: "Our organization is for peace"

Senju Kashiwagi said sarcastically, "Oh, you pursued me and started fighting without even saying a word."

The boy had no intention of arguing with Senju Kashiwagi. This green pupil was still useful to the organization and he couldn't just be killed off shortly after being recruited.

Senju Kashiwagi didn't beat around the bush. "Just one question. Does the Nine-Tails incident in Konoha Village have anything to do with you?"

The boy said coldly, "So what if I have it, so what if I don't have it?"

Senju Kashiwagi challenged, "This is very interesting. If you have it, you will be defeated today. If you don't, I will not let you go even if you attack me on the scale you just did."

The scene was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it would explode as soon as it was ignited.

The two collided in an instant, and Senju Kashiwagi instantly used the Wood Release Ninjutsu "Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree!" to attack the boy, but it seemed to have hit a transparent barrier and did not move forward at all. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and the boy retracted his strength and dodged instantly. The Violent Spear Tree hit the cliff wall behind him directly, causing a large dent.
