Chapter:80

(Free Trial Available On Patreon).

The overall strength of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans is much stronger than that of the Uzumaki.

If envoys were sent to these two parties to request an alliance, naturally they would send the stronger one to Sarutobi and the weaker one to the Uzumaki.

The current allocation of the Senju clan is that Senju Hashirama is sent to the Sarutobi, while the clan leader, Senju Kawaragi, comes to the Uzumaki. This can only explain one thing — Senju Hashirama is stronger than Senju Kawaragi.

As soon as Mito Uzumaki spoke these words, Uzumaki Hikari and the others were in an uproar.

This was simply unimaginable. Senju Hashirama is only in his early twenties, right?

Senju Kawaragi, just past his forties, is at the peak of his ninja strength and probably not inferior to Hashirama.

Yet, Senju Hashirama has already surpassed him?

If Senju Kawaragi were present, he would be extremely surprised by Mito Uzumaki's analysis.

He never imagined that a girl, who had never left the Land of Whirlpools and was only sixteen or seventeen years old, could analyze the actions of the Senju clan so thoroughly.

If Izuna Uchiha were here, he too would regard Mito Uzumaki with great respect. She is worthy of being the woman who would help Senju Hashirama bring peace to troubled times and become the first Jinchūriki.

If Senju Hashirama, at this young age, already has power surpassing that of Senju Kawaragi, who knows how far he will grow in a few years?

Thus, opponents like the Uzumaki and Hikari must carefully consider whether or not to agree to the Senju's request.

Rumble!!

At this moment, the ground shook violently, and the candles lighting the shrine fell to the ground, shattering into two pieces.

Uzumaki Guanghai and the others quickly stood up and rushed out of the shrine. They saw an exaggerated mushroom cloud rising from a cliff in the northwest, outside the village.

"That… what is that?!"

Uzumaki Guanghai's wrinkled face was filled with shock. Even as a veteran Kage-level shinobi, he knew he was incapable of unleashing such powerful ninjutsu.

An Uzumaki chuunin appeared next to the high-level decision-making group and reported, "Clan leader, honored guests, a red flash of light rushed toward the village just now. Fortunately, the village's barrier diverted the attack's trajectory, and it hit the mountain. Then…"

Mito Uzumaki frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated her chakra. Her perception spread like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and she quickly scanned the entire Land of Whirlpools, sensing two extremely powerful chakras fighting in the South Sea.

"Grandfather! There are two huge chakras in the South Sea!"

Mito Uzumaki opened her eyes and said to Uzumaki Guanghai.

At this time, Senju Kawaragi and the others arrived, hearing what Mito had said, but their eyes then shifted to Uzumaki Hiroyuki. "Elder Guanghai, what is going on?"

Uzumaki Guanghai's face drooped as he spoke in a deep voice, "It seems we have an uninvited guest. Please, my friends from the Senju, wait a moment. I will deal with this."

Senju Kawaragi responded, "Now that we are involved, of course, we of the Senju cannot stand idly by. Please allow us to help."

Mito Uzumaki then said, "Grandfather, I'm going too."

Both chakras gave her an extremely uneasy feeling.

"Elder Guanghai, this is..." Senju Kawaragi glanced at Mito.

"Mito is my eldest granddaughter, and she is to marry the deputy leader of your clan."

Hearing this, Kawaragi secretly thought this was expected. Judging by the perceptive abilities this girl had just shown, she was already on par with Senju Tobirama, the current top sensory ninja in the Senju clan.

If she were to marry Senju Hashirama, it would solidify an even stronger alliance.

Mito Uzumaki only raised an eyebrow at her grandfather's words about being betrothed to Hashirama.

Like Hashirama, Mito knew that as the next leader of her family, she could not choose her own marriage. Everything she did was for the benefit of the clan.

Far from Uzumaki Village, in the southern sea of the Land of Whirlpools, Izuna Uchiha stood above the water, completely soaked by the sea spray.

In front of Izuna was a creature no smaller than the Eight-Tails: a massive turtle-like being. Its body was covered in a silver-gray shell, and the thorns across it covered its right eye. Its left eye, exposed, stared at Izuna angrily, while the three flat, armored tails behind it revealed its identity.

The Three-Tails Isobu!

Until just now, Izuna had been locked in a fierce battle with the Three-Tails.

Facing the enraged tailed beast, Izuna smiled, despite the water dripping down his face. "Three-Tails, your peaceful days won't last long. Rather than waiting to be chained later, why not sign a contract with me now? Your freedom would be relatively assured. It's a fair deal."

But the only response Izuna received was the angry glare of Isobu, accompanied by its immense chakra.

"Water Release: Waterfall Basin Technique!"

Seawater surged high into the sky, threatening to cover the horizon! The sheer scale of the attack was like an enhanced version of Gaara's later Sand Waterfall Funeral.

"The sea is your home, and you have the advantage here. I don't want to continue fighting on your terms."

Rather than continuing the battle, Izuna chose to retreat.

This time, unlike his encounter with the Eight-Tails, Izuna had prepared thoroughly before engaging the Three-Tails.

Leaping into the air, he quickly bit his thumb and formed seals before pressing his palm forward.

As the summoning marks spread, a black eagle appeared from the white smoke.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

The black eagle spun in mid-air, allowing Izuna to land on its back.

It swiftly ascended, dodging the massive waves created by the Three-Tails.

"Turtles may control the sea, but too bad I don't use Earth Release."

Standing on the eagle's back, Izuna brought his hands together and puffed up his cheeks. "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Boom!

A sea of flames descended upon Isobu's shell, but the water-attribute beast was hardly affected. Still, the burning sensation irritated the massive turtle.

"Roooaaarrr!"

The beast's roar shook the sea as it furiously stirred the water.

Izuna guided the eagle towards the Land of Whirlpools, glancing back at the enraged Three-Tails. He smirked. "Good, come to the land, Three-Tails."

As expected, the enraged tailed beast did not stop to think. It charged forward, continuing to control the seawater and launching attacks at Izuna in the air.

But with the black eagle's agility, Izuna managed to evade each one.
