Chapter 65: Senju Hashirama Is Coming to Attack?!

"What? You said Senju Hashirama is coming to attack?!"

Longyin Village, High Council meeting room.

"Elders, I assure you, I truly saw the God of Ninja entering the village," reported a Taki-nin.

He didn't know what the higher-ups had previously discussed; he merely told the Elders about it so they could prepare to receive them.

After all, the one coming this time is the God of Ninja!

The higher-ups, upon hearing the subordinate's report, felt as if the sky had collapsed.

"Damn Jiaodu, failing the mission is one thing, but betraying the village!" the middle‑aged man clenched his fist.

He had even previously given Jiaodu intelligence, and didn't expect that bastard to be a White-eyed Wolf!

Although the Scroll contained nothing, this was indeed the intelligence he had gathered.

Because Senju Hashirama has no weakness, the intelligence had nothing on him.

"Wha... what should we do?" the white‑haired elder's face was as pale as paper.

When Senju Hashirama arrived at Longyin, it was obvious without thought that he came to settle accounts with them!

After all, just two days ago they had sent people to assassinate the other side.

The higher-ups only wanted to vent their anger and, by using Hashirama's hand, kill Jiaodu—nothing more.

They truly never imagined Senju Hashirama would show up at their door!

With the God of Ninja's power, destroying Longyin Village would be as easy as a snap.

They began to regret their original decision.

"At this point, we can only insist that this was Jiaodu's personal act and unrelated to the village!" another elder said.

"We believe that as long as we admit fault with a good attitude, Senju Hashirama won't make things difficult for us!"

The God of Ninja's temperament is famously good throughout the Ninja World.

We trust he won't fuss over such a trivial matter...

"Sigh, it seems that's all we can do."

Longyin Village, on the street.

Lian Ye scanned his surroundings and remarked, "This place is truly backward."

Although Konoha has only been founded in recent years and hasn't fully developed yet, a great ninja village remains a great ninja village; these small‑state villages simply can't compare...

The streets of Longyin Village were lined with a few household goods shops, offering limited items; there were hardly any pedestrians, making the scene very desolate.

"Xiao Lian Ye, we'll leave as soon as we finish buying supplies," Senju Hashirama said, clearly also finding nothing entertaining here.

The two had just packed away the supplies they bought when they simultaneously looked toward a spot.

Three white‑haired elders hurried toward them, with dozens of ninja following behind.

Lian Ye could tell the ninja group was average; most were Chunin, with only two Jonin.

He was somewhat curious about the purpose of these guys' visit.

Could they be looking for trouble with Senju Hashirama?!

But with this lineup, are they sure they're not just delivering vegetables?

Just as Lian Ye was puzzling over it, the leading white‑haired elder trembled and asked, "Hashi... Hashirama‑sama?"

Senju Hashirama heard this, scratched his head, and asked, "Elder, do you know me?"

Seeing Hashirama respond, the elder who had spoken first went weak in the knees and hurriedly knelt, "Hashirama‑sama, spare us!"

The others, seeing this, also quickly knelt.

Senju Hashirama: "???"

"What is this situation? Why are you all kneeling?"

Lian Ye looked at Hashirama with a complicated gaze and asked, "Hashirama‑uncle, have you been doing something shady behind our backs?"

"Xiao Lian Ye, stop talking nonsense," Hashirama glared at Lian Ye in displeasure.

Then he hurried forward to help the elder up, saying, "Elder, get up quickly."

"Hashirama‑sama, spare us!"

"Hashirama‑sama, we know we were wrong!"

The few had no intention of standing, continuously kowtowing and begging for mercy.

While Hashirama was at a loss, Lian Ye stepped forward, activated his Sharingan, and looked at the leading elder.

The elder, seeing the suddenly appearing foot, instinctively lifted his head.

Then he met a pair of scarlet eyes.

Caught off guard, he fell victim to Lian Ye's Genjutsu.

With Lian Ye's current Pupil Power, he easily invaded the elder's mind.

However, this method can easily turn a mid‑level practitioner into a fool.

Nevertheless, these guys behave oddly; they clearly aren't good people.

Lian Ye felt no psychological burden in using Genjutsu on them...

The elder's actions in the meeting room were gradually "read" out.

After seeing everything, Lian Ye's expression turned strange.

It turned out Jiaodu wasn't bragging; he truly intended to assassinate the God of Ninja.

Had they not taken the wrong road, they might have encountered Jiaodu.

"Xiao Lian Ye, what on earth is happening?" Senju Hashirama, seeing Lian Ye's actions, couldn't help but ask.

"The Hidden Rain Village High Council sent assassins after you; our arrival made them think the plan had failed, so they came out begging for mercy..." Lian Ye explained.

The few people kneeling on the ground suddenly turned pale; they hadn't expected Senju Hashirama to have a companion skilled in Genjutsu.

Thus their previous plan became impossible.

The elder who fell victim to Genjutsu only then regained consciousness.

Realizing what had happened, he lowered his head even further.

"Lord Hashirama, spare me!"

"We were merely momentarily misguided; please grant us another chance!"

"Longyin Village is willing to submit to Konoha!"

The Hidden Rain Village High Council, desperate to survive, frantically kowtowed for mercy.

Lian Ye slowly drew the Tachi at his waist, turned toward Hashirama, and asked, "Uncle Hashirama, how should we deal with them?"

If Hashirama signals, he will resolve these people without hesitation.

These scoundrels who attempted to kill both me and Uncle Hashirama have no need to be alive at all.

Upon hearing Lian Ye's words, the Hidden Rain Village High Council kowtowed even more vigorously.

"Lord Hashirama, spare us..."

Senju Hashirama looked at the pleading figures on the ground, and his heart softened,

"Enough, Xiao Lian Ye, let's go."

Saying that, he turned and left.

Hashirama is a kind‑hearted, magnanimous man who deeply understands the value of life and is unwilling to take lives lightly.

Even when faced with an assassin, as long as the attacker has not caused irreparable damage, he chooses mercy.

Lian Ye had little to say about it, silently sheathed his blade, and followed Hashirama away.

He knows that Hashirama's actions are predicated on possessing overwhelming strength and sufficient confidence to handle any assassination attempt, never viewing assassins as a serious threat.

Ensuring that neither he nor his village is in danger, Hashirama remains generous and magnanimous.

Only Hashirama in the Ninja World would be willing to spare those who sought to kill his enemies.

If it were any other ninja, Longyin Village not being annihilated would already be a mercy...

The high officials of Longyin Village, upon seeing Hashirama and Lian Ye depart, collapsed onto the ground, their faces filled with the relief of having survived.

"We were almost dead!"

"Luckily we bet right; Senju Hashirama truly spared us!"

"Hahaha, those who survive a great disaster will have future blessings!"
