Chapter 43

But then he thought again,

He himself abandoned this idea.

Anyway,

For the current Hashirama Senju,

His strength had long since become the number one in the entire ninja world!!!

So,

Uzumaki Ranming believed,

Even their Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu might not even catch his interest.

Watching the girl's puffed-up expression,

Hashirama Senju could only find it amusing inside.

He never expected the daughter of the Uzumaki clan chief could be so adorable,

Even betting their clan's most secret technique as the stake!!

Hashirama Senju knew,

The Uzumaki clan, though possessing formidable physiques and incredibly vast chakra!!

But they seemed unskilled in combat,

And sealing jutsu appeared to be the Uzumaki clan's most renowned ninjutsu!!!

Tobirama Senju, standing aside, cast a suspicious glance at his old friend,

Before this,

He had even proposed multiple times,

To exchange the Senju clan's treasured ninjutsu,

Hoping to observe the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu!!!

Yet,

Uzumaki Ranming refused to budge.

Unexpectedly,

This time he actually agreed to let his daughter use this as the stake???

Sensing Tobirama Senju's gaze,

Uzumaki Ranming knew exactly what he was thinking!!!

He himself felt deeply helpless,

Although Hashirama Senju had verbally agreed to continue allying with their Uzumaki clan!!

In reality,

Uzumaki Ranming himself could not guarantee whether Hashirama Senju would honor his promise!!

Previously, the reason the Uzumaki clan could maintain a firm alliance with the Senju clan was,

Most importantly, the overall power gap between the two clans was not significant!!!

The Uzumaki clan's participation,

Was crucial for the Senju clan's resistance against the Uchiha clan!!!

But now!!!

The power balance between the two families had long since become utterly unbalanced!!

The Uzumaki clan held little value for the Senju clan!!!

And from the very moment Uzumaki Ranming saw Hashirama Senju,

He realized the entire Senju clan held Hashirama Senju in deep reverence!!!

Even the Senju clan's elder council,

Their attitude toward Hashirama Senju was one of great respect!!!

This point,

Was utterly invisible when Tobirama Senju was clan chief!!!

On Hashirama Senju,

He even sensed an extremely strong ambition!!!

Coupled with Hashirama Senju's current strength and prestige,

Uzumaki Ranming believed,

He must demonstrate the Uzumaki clan's value!!!

Quickly declare his stance and choose a side!!!

Hashirama Senju,

He truly might become the man to end this chaotic era!!!

And based on Uzumaki Ranming's years of experience in judging people,

Hashirama Senju was certainly not a merciful man!!!

Once he truly gained the power to end this chaotic era,

Any enemy standing before him,

Would be mercilessly crushed by him!!!

【Tobirama Senju: Brother… you'd better pray the other you shows some mercy… If he's unkind to Mizuki, you're in for trouble…】

【Madara Uchiha: Hmph!! The Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu is nothing! Compared to our Uchiha clan's Sharingan, it's incomparably inferior!! Hashirama!! You should ally with the Uchiha!! Marry an Uchiha woman!!】

【Uzumaki Mizuki: Hashirama Senju!! I'm telling you!! If the other me suffers any injustice!!! I'll make you pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!!!】

【Hashirama Senju: Sigh… what a scapegoat, what does this have to do with me…】

【Kushina Uzumaki: Naruto!! Watch carefully, Grandma Mito is no ordinary person!! She can be considered the most gifted in sealing jutsu the Uzumaki clan has seen in a century!! Observe her well, and it will lay the foundation for your future study of sealing jutsu!!】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Huh? Sealing jutsu? I can learn it too? Do I have that kind of talent?】

【Minato Namikaze: Hehe… Naruto, your mother is from the Uzumaki clan, so naturally the Uzumaki bloodline flows in you too!!! Your clan is born with a talent for learning sealing jutsu!!!】

【Orochimaru: What a pity, Kushina… ever since you died, no one in the Uzumaki clan has been able to perform their sealing jutsu in full anymore… I have to say, that is a regret…】

"This guy…"

Standing opposite Hashirama Senju,

Uzumaki Mito felt every single hair on her body stand on end!!!!

Goosebumps rose over her skin in visible layers.

Hashirama Senju was like a massive black hole, bottomless,

Giving off an overwhelming pressure.

Only now did Uzumaki Mito realize,

That the rumors about Hashirama Senju in the shinobi world were not false after all!!!

Her father, Uzumaki Ashina, was already the strongest person she had ever seen,

But compared to the presence of the Hashirama Senju before her,

The difference was like heaven and earth!!

"You guy, be careful!!!"

"My sealing jutsu is no ordinary sealing jutsu!!!"

"If I hurt you, I'm not responsible!!"

Seeing Hashirama Senju's guard wide open,

Standing there casually.

A nameless fury rose in Uzumaki Mito's heart!!

This was looking down on people way too much!!

She was, after all, a celebrated genius girl in the Uzumaki clan!!

Uzumaki Ashina even praised her as the strongest genius the Uzumaki clan had seen in a thousand years!!!

"No matter, give it your all…"

"It's been a long time since I've felt what it's like to be injured…"

"Hmph!! Since you've said as much, don't blame me for not holding back!!"

Seeing Hashirama Senju still not taking a defensive stance,

Uzumaki Mito decided to say no more!!
