Chapter 188: Eyes

~Land of Fire~

Inside of a lush forest in the most prosperous nation, multiple weapons were being thrown continuously, with a trio of shinobi running from another.

"Damnit Fugaku!! I told you that being unnecessarily angry would only get in your way of taking them out with that surprise attack. You just had to want to make them suffer with your Fire Style rather than just burning them up, huh?" Hiashi yelled angrily at his teammate, yet he was a bit perplexed when he saw him look at him with similar fury.

"If they had attacked a squad of your clansmen and stolen their eyes, you would be angry too. Oh wait, they wouldn't have to worry about that with the slave seal on your foreheads!!" Fugaku said angrily.

He was truly in rage that Hiashi didn't see how horrible such an event was, but seeing how the Hyuga rarely worried about it, he probably felt that they should create a similar seal of their own.

"Enough! We need to wipe these three out now, especially since if they escape, we'll have to deal with Sensei. Use combination 8!" Shiminoske yelled, with his words sending shivers down all of their spines.

The other two nodded, with Fugaku and Shiminoske going to the left and right while Himichi went to the middle, with them all weaving signs at extremely rapid speeds.

""Fire Style: Great Fire Ball Jutsu!!""

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!!"

The three fleeing shinobi felt the terrifying heat, wind them all turning around and weaving the signs for a single Jutsu.

"""Earth Style: Earth Wall!!!"""

A massive and imposing wall quickly erupted to shield the two, but the flames demolished it and incinerated the three, putting an end to them once and for all.

"Do you think the Sharingan were destroyed in our attack? I apologize for not being able to recover your clansman's eyes." Shiminoske said as they all landed and stored the bodies.

"It would be best that they were. Kaito can rest easy knowing that his eyes will be used against neither the Village nor his fellow clansmen. But I don't understand how three Iwa Shinobi could get the jump on three of the best Shinobi that the Uchiha Clan has to offer, and even kill one of them and retrieve his eyes. It seems that the fragile peace we have in the Shinobi World is about to end quickly." Fugaku spoke.

"I apologize, Fugaku. I did not mean to-"

"It's not important. We both went too far. Now let's return to the Village before Hokage-Sama tells Sensei we took too long to get back." Fugaku said as he cut off Hiashi, with the trio suddenly getting a burst of adrenaline that made them faster than before.

Inside of the Senju Compound, Mito stood in the kitchen as she prepared dinner, with Ayako standing beside her as they both worked in hopes of feeding their family.

Just then, the door to the house opened, with Kushina and Nawaki entering, both coming home from their day at school.

Mito smiled at the two, with her asking

"How was your day at school?"

"Horrible!! That bastard Namikaze always beats me in competitions!!! And then he has the nerve to smile about it!" Nawaki complained as he sat on a chair.

"Sometimes you have to accept that you aren't the best at everything. If I was jealous of everything your Grandfather did, I would have never achieved all I did in life." Tobirama said as he came downstairs, with him being followed by Ashina and Haru.

"Tch." Nawaki clicked his teeth together, with Kushina just laughed at him.

As the family all sat around the dinner table, the final member emerged as she walked through the door, with her showing a tired expression on her face.

"Let me guess, your home?" Kushina asked sarcastically while Nawaki snickered.

"Yep." Tsunade said with a smile as she joined her family members at the table to enjoy dinner.
