"What happened? Why is Kotaro's right arm broken?"

"Senju Takuya didn't even move! What happened?"

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

Seeing Kotaro's arm inexplicably broken, the Kirigakure ninjas were shocked.

They were completely unaware of how Takuya had done it.

Poof!

At that moment, with a muffled sound, Kotaro's left arm was also chopped off at the shoulder.

"Ah!!!"

Kotaro howled miserably. He knew now that something he couldn't detect was lurking around him, ready to strike at any time. The scent of death hung heavy in the air, and Kotaro was both shocked and enraged.

This feeling of being at the mercy of an unseen enemy brought him to the edge of collapse.

"Damn you...!"

Kotaro roared. Immediately, countless bone spurs broke through his skin and grew rapidly, enveloping his entire body. He hoped the hard bone spurs would resist the unknown attack.

But it was all just wishful thinking.

Poof! Poof!

With two more muffled sounds, Kotaro's thighs were also chopped off. The bones he was so proud of had no effect.

"What is going on?!"

Kotaro was in utter despair. He never imagined he would be so thoroughly defeated by Takuya.

"You should be grateful you have the Three Tails sealed inside you," Takuya said, walking up to Kotaro without any expression. "Otherwise, you would be a corpse right now."

If a Jinchūriki is killed before extracting the tailed beast, the tailed beast will also die. Though it can resurrect eventually, it takes decades.

Thus, Takuya chose not to kill Kotaro.

Hearing his words, Kotaro's eyes lit up. The Three Tails! He still had the Three Tails.

If he could harness its power, he might stand a chance against Takuya. Kotaro immediately released the seal on his body.

But soon, he was dumbfounded.

The Three Tails inside him showed no signs of movement. Not even a trace of its chakra was exposed, hiding deep within his body.

"What's happening? Three Tails, come out!" Kotaro shouted hysterically.

But no matter how loud he shouted, the Three Tails didn't respond. This puzzled Kotaro. Usually, even with the seal's suppression, the Three Tails would always try to break free. But now, despite the seal being completely broken, it did nothing.

Kotaro realized there was only one possibility: even the Three Tails inside him was afraid of Takuya.

"Protect Kotaro-sama!"

"Everyone, attack the Hokage together. We outnumber him, we can win!"

Seeing Kotaro defeated instantly, the Kirigakure ninjas rushed towards Takuya.

Takuya didn't even raise an eyelid. The shadows from his Limbo: Border Jail technique rushed into the crowd.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

With muffled sounds, the Kirigakure ninjas were killed one after another.

Soon, thousands of Kirigakure's elite ninjas lay dead under the onslaught of Takuya's shadows.

"Why is it like this?" Kotaro murmured, looking at the thousands of corpses on the ground. His body began to tremble. Known as a bloodthirsty madman, he had never seen such a hellish scene. Thousands of lives taken without a second thought.

Compared to Takuya, what kind of bloodthirsty madman was he? What kind of lunatic was he? It seemed like a joke.

What Kotaro couldn't accept was the vast gap between him and Takuya. It was a gulf so wide he couldn't comprehend it. He felt deeply helpless, like an insect before Takuya's overwhelming power.

He still didn't understand Takuya's abilities.

"Kotaro?"

Takuya reached out and grabbed Kotaro by the neck, lifting him from the ground. He placed one hand on Kotaro's belly.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the tailed beast's chakra began to flow out of Kotaro's body. Within moments, the massive form of the Three Tails appeared before Takuya.

"Isobu, live inside me," Takuya said calmly to the Three Tails.

Isobu didn't resist and was sealed into Takuya's body. Through the unique communication between tailed beasts, it spoke to Kurama and Matatabi. The freedom it sensed was exactly what it yearned for.

And with Takuya's power, resisting would only be humiliating.

After sealing the Three Tails, Takuya turned towards the Mizukage's building.

"Elder, the crisis in Kirigakure is over," Takuya said calmly to the village elder. "But at your age, you're no longer suited to continue as Mizukage. I will send someone to replace you soon."

"Understood, Hokage-sama," the elder quickly agreed, having witnessed Takuya's power firsthand. A rebellion of thousands was suppressed so easily. Faced with such power, all he could do was obey.

"Kurenai, Rin, Shizune, let's go," Takuya said to the women.

"Yes!"

They nodded vigorously. Takuya's performance was truly amazing, especially the way he effortlessly defeated all enemies. Kurenai and the others looked at him with stars in their eyes.

"Hokage-sama, when we return to the village, please allow me to serve you at my home!" Kurenai said excitedly.

"Me too!"

"And me, I can't wait to be your wife," Rin added.

Takuya smiled, nodding in agreement. "Since you all insist, I won't go against your wishes."

With that, he took Kurenai and the others and headed back to Konoha. This time, he used his perfect Susanoo to travel. Within a day, they were back in Konoha.

Senju Takuya returned to the village and went directly to the Hokage Building. Entering the Hokage's office, he found Tsunade inside, working on documents.

"Tsunade, why are you here alone?" Takuya asked curiously. He had formed a team of beautiful secretaries, with almost all his wives having their own division of labor. No matter how many files needed processing, they never felt overwhelmed. But now, Tsunade was the only one there.

"Oh... don't mention it," Tsunade sighed, looking a little helpless. "Those little ones were getting more and more restless, so I asked them to go back and take care of their children."

"I see..." Takuya nodded. Over the years, as they grew older, Kabuto, Naruto, Sasuke... they had all grown into energetic little boys. Their powerful bloodlines made it hard for ordinary ninjas to control them.

"It's been a while. Has the matter in Kirigakure been resolved?" Tsunade asked, looking at Takuya.

"Yes, it's been resolved. the Mizukage was being controlled by genjutsu, and the Kaguya clan launched a coup," Takuya replied.

"What? Who has such power?" Tsunade asked, surprised. The current Mizukage was a veteran and the Fifth Mizukage. Who could control him with genjutsu?

"If I guess correctly, it should be Uchiha Madara," Takuya said calmly.

"Uchiha Madara?!" Tsunade was even more surprised. Madara was a ninja from a previous era. Wasn't he killed by Grandpa Hashirama a long time ago? How could he still be alive?

"Takuya, why do you think it's Uchiha Madara?" Tsunade asked, confused.

"Because the Mizukage said he saw a pair of Sharingan before falling into the genjutsu. The only person in the Uchiha clan capable of such power is Madara," Takuya explained.

"But... wasn't Madara killed by Grandpa?" Tsunade asked the question on her mind.

"You don't understand," Takuya began. "Madara possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Each pair of eyes like this holds immense power. Furthermore, the Uchiha clan has a forbidden technique called Izanagi. It can rewrite unfavorable events at the cost of one eye, even rewriting death."

Tsunade gasped. "In that case, Madara might have used Izanagi to rewrite his death."

"Exactly," Takuya nodded. "But you don't have to worry too much. With my current strength, even Madara cannot defeat me."

Tsunade patted her chest, relieved. "I can rest easy then."

"Okay, since we haven't seen each other for such a long time, let's talk about some serious business," Takuya said, closing the door and holding Tsunade in his arms.

"You said you wanted to talk about business," Tsunade looked at his wandering hands, speechless.

"Isn't this serious business? It's related to the life and death of our Senju clan!" Takuya said with mock shock.

"You're the only one who talks nonsense," Tsunade snorted, twisting unconsciously.

Takuya didn't continue speaking. Instead, he pressed Tsunade under the table. "What are you doing? Not here, not in broad daylight."

"If you don't help me quickly, I won't care if someone comes later," Takuya threatened. Helplessly, Tsunade lowered her head.

Half an hour later, Takuya's body trembled as he grabbed Tsunade's twin ponytails and held on. "Drink it."

Despite Tsunade's sad eyes, Takuya walked out of the Hokage Building, feeling refreshed. At the entrance, he met Kurenai's father, Shinku.

"Lord Hokage," Shinku said respectfully.

"Don't be so polite, we'll be family soon," Takuya smiled, waving his hand. This was his future father-in-law. He couldn't show off in front of him, right?

Hearing this, Shinku nodded noncommittally. He already knew about his daughter Kurenai. He was happy that his daughter could marry Takuya, but he couldn't help feeling a little angry. Even before marriage, Kurenai was starting to prioritize her new family over her own.

"By the way, what's the matter?" Takuya asked.

"It's nothing. I just want to trouble you, Hokage-sama, to tell Kurenai to come home and have dinner with me tonight," Shinku said lightly.

Takuya smiled awkwardly. Kurenai had been living in the Senju compound and had not returned home in a long time. "No problem. I'll tell her."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama," Shinku bowed and then left.

Watching Shinku's departing figure, Takuya touched his nose. It seemed Asuma was conveying his dissatisfaction. But Shinku wasn't his wife yet, so it was natural for her father to be a little upset.

It seemed he had to find time to marry Kurenai, Shizune, and Rin soon. They were all nearly fully developed. It was time to bring them home.
