Chapter 153 Masked Man: I Also Have Hashirama Cells
The group returned to Konoha.
Tobirama Senju said he wanted to take a good look at Konoha with his older brother, but after arriving in Konoha, he immediately disappeared without a trace.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Impure World Reincarnation, Tobirama Senju can go wherever he wants.
It's not strange that it disappeared instantly.
As for what the second generation did?
Of course, it's to do something great for Konoha and the Land of Fire.
—Assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
That's right, it's the assassination daimyo.
The Second Hokage himself was a reformer. Compared to the First Hokage and Madara who established the ninja village system, the Second Hokage's various regulations for improving the ninja village system are the prototype of the current ninja villages.
Since being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation for the second time, there have been many periods of free time.
During this time, the Second Hokage subtly learned about the current situation in the ninja world from Orochimaru, Nagato, and others.
The three great nations have all abolished the daimyo system, but the Land of Lightning has not abolished it, though it has limited the power of the daimyo.
Only their Land of Fire has done nothing so far.
The Second Hokage knew that, given Tsunade's personality, she could suppress his former subordinates when she got serious, but it would be difficult for her to eliminate the Daimyo.
Even if they restricted the Daimyo like the Raikage did, they probably couldn't do it.
Then, he'll have to take action himself.
This decision was made after careful consideration of the second-party agency.
Abolishing the daimyo system is indeed more suitable for the sustainable development of the country and the ninja village.
As for killing, bloodshed, and the breeding of hatred?
What kind of change doesn't involve bloodshed? What kind of conflict of interest doesn't breed hatred?
If they were afraid of these things, then the ninja village wouldn't have needed to be established in the first place.
Just as the Konoha group had settled in, the Second Hokage had already arrived at the Daimyo's residence.
—When the ninja village was first established, he and his older brother met the then-Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Later, when he became Hokage, he also came here.
Leaving a Flying Thunder God mark was a matter of course.
At the time, he was just thinking of leaving a mark so that if the lord encountered danger, he could be notified and he could teleport over to rescue him in time.
I never expected that I would have to use this mark for an assassination today.
Life is unpredictable and ever-changing.
However, the Second Hokage's heart was as hard as stone at this moment. He thought of Itachi Uchiha when he destroyed his clan, and he probably had the same mentality.
Even the inherently evil Uchiha clan could destroy itself, so what is it for him, the Second Hokage, to wipe out a mere daimyo's mansion?
Moreover, while Itachi's act of exterminating his clan is still controversial, his act of destroying the Daimyo's mansion was undoubtedly the right thing to do.
And so, the mysterious teleporting man from [Red Night Blade] appeared.
Inspired by Bai Mo's threat to force him to work as a prostitute, Tobirama Senju used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as a ninja assassination squad.
The defenses of the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire are arguably among the strongest of the Five Great Nations.
Although "Guardian Ninjas" like Asuma and Jiroku were nominally disbanded due to the conflict, the Daimyo could not simply leave his defenses vacant like that.
That conflict was essentially about a group of guardian ninjas led by Asuma and Jiraiya acknowledging the power of Konoha, while another group of guardian ninjas, led by Kazuma, believed that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was the true master and that they should obey the Daimyo's orders.
Although he was later portrayed as a villain by Ma, the interests he represented were entirely those of the daimyo.
He wasn't defeated because he was the villain; he became the villain because he failed.
The lord could no longer openly support him.
However, no matter how strong the daimyo's defenses were, it was useless.
Many powerful ninjas died because of the word "protection".
The Third Raikage single-handedly held off tens of thousands of ninja in order to protect them.
The Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails with his life to protect the village.
If they had even a slightly lower moral standard, they could have easily run away.
Similarly, if the Flying Thunder God Technique is no longer used for protection but for assassination, then it will be completely flawless.
The second generation did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique to directly assassinate the target.
That kind of efficiency is too low; even with shadow clones, it's easy for some to slip through the net.
His chosen method was to first have his shadow clones set up an encirclement around Daming Prefecture, and then carry out the attack.
The "encirclement" he used was a multiplicative detonation tag.
The relentless explosions spread from the outside inwards, slowly shrinking the circle.
The guards inside Daming Prefecture noticed the commotion, but it was too late.
Although he had already set up a shrinking circle of exploding tags, Tobirama Senju did not stop there. Instead, he took out a long sword and began to kill within the circle.
He couldn't be sure if anyone knew any special defensive ninjutsu, so he braved the explosion and desperately rescued the daimyo.
So the rest he has to solve himself.
Just as the mysterious teleporting man of [Red Night Blade] was wreaking havoc in Daimyo's mansion, the mysterious masked man of the former [Red Night Blade] arrived in Konoha.
Konoha Medical Department.
Kakashi lay quietly in his private hospital room.
Yamato stood by Kakashi's bedside, hesitatingly saying something before finally gritting his teeth and leaving.
It turns out that the fact that Yamato "sacrificed himself" to save Kakashi last time has been exposed, and he was subsequently beaten up by Kakashi.
Now that Yamato has arrived, facing the unconscious Kakashi, he dares not make any further moves.
However, Yamato's actions and mutterings were all overheard by the masked man hiding in the shadows.
"So that's how it is."
The masked man learned from Yamato why Kakashi had used Kamui to move the septic tank.
They also learned about the consequences of Kakashi's overdraft.
"Interstitial cells? I have those too."
The masked man thought for a moment, realizing he couldn't let Kakashi go blind from using his eyes.
The eye is stored with Kakashi, and he can retrieve it for use at any time.
What if Kakashi blinds him?
Intercolumnar cells can significantly delay the blindness of the kaleidoscope, but they don't claim to be able to reverse the blindness.
"Kakashi, I have given you the light a third time."
Thinking this, the masked man muttered to himself as he walked toward Kakashi's bedside.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Kushina couldn't resist the clever and resourceful Rin, so she had no choice but to tell her what had happened.
After learning the truth, Lin could only sigh and say nothing.
Linna is truly a "naturally kind-hearted female ghost of Konoha".
She knew perfectly well that everyone could blame Obito, but she couldn't.
After Kushina and Rin confessed to each other, they felt much more relaxed and decided to visit Kakashi, who had been unconscious.
As they were rushing to the medical department from the rooftop, they saw a figure from behind in Kakashi's room through the window.
"That's... the masked man?"
Kushina still wasn't used to calling the person who killed her and Minato Obito, so she continued to refer to him as the masked man.
"Why is he here? Is he plotting something against Kakashi?"
Kushina looked nervous.
If the masked man could kill both her and Minato, how could Kakashi possibly escape unscathed?
However, Kushina was also aware of her opponent's strength. If she acted rashly and was discovered, she would definitely not be a match for him.
Kushina and Rin lay on the roof, observing the situation inside the house from a distance.
Since the masked man had his back to the window, the two only saw him walk to Kakashi's bedside.
"He walked to the bedside? Could he be planning to gouge out Kakashi's eyes?"
Kushina gasped softly.
But not.
All that could be seen was the masked man seemingly pulling something out, and Kakashi, who was lying down, twitched slightly.
Then, the masked man twisted and disappeared.
The two waited for a while to make sure the masked man had left before rushing over.
Kushina and Rin ran to the window and looked down at Kakashi on the bed inside the room, where they saw a horrifying scene.
Kakashi's mouth was slightly open, and an unidentified white liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Kushina:? !
Lin: ?
