Chapter:191

Izuna hesitated briefly.

Senju Hashirama's face lit up with hope, believing that Izuna might agree to spare Hyuga Tenzong and support the vision of a peaceful era. However, as Hashirama weakened his grip on Izuna's arm, a sudden motion shattered his hopes.

With a swift, decisive strike, Izuna drove his Flying Thunder God Kunai into Hyuga Tenzong's throat.

Blood gushed like a fountain, splattering Izuna and Hashirama.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Hashirama roared in disbelief, his voice trembling with anger and sorrow.

Izuna pulled the kunai free, blood dripping from its blade, and sneered coldly.

"Hashirama, the Warring States Period is already coming to an end. First, I'll finish the war with the Senju, then I'll crush the Hyuga Alliance, and finally, every other clan in this land will submit to Uchiha."

His voice carried a chilling finality. "When we're done, none of these so-called grasshopper clans will have the strength to resist. The peace you dream of will be built under our rule—Uchiha's rule."

Hashirama's brows furrowed in confusion and frustration. "You speak as if the outcome of this war is already decided. How can you be so sure? The battle with my clan has yet to end, and there are countless other clans scattered across the Fire Country."

Izuna chuckled. "You'll see soon enough. This is not a matter of if, Hashirama, but when."

Unknown to Hashirama, Izuna's confidence stemmed from more than just his own strength. After the battle with Hyuga Tenzong, Izuna had acquired a trove of new abilities. Using the skill points gained, he was ready to help Madara awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, giving their clan two wielders of the ultimate Uchiha power.

With this, even the strongest clans in the Warring States Period—including the Senju—would stand little chance against the combined might of two eternal Mangekyō users.

"The next time we meet, it will be under different circumstances, Hashirama." Izuna turned to leave, his voice calm yet resolute. "And it will mark the dawn of Uchiha supremacy."

"Wait, Izuna!" Hashirama called out desperately.

Izuna paused, glancing back over his shoulder.

"If we joined forces," Hashirama began, his voice filled with sincerity, "Uchiha and Senju together could create an unstoppable force. Not just in the Warring States, but across the entire ninja world. Together, we could build the peace I've always dreamed of—a world without war!"

Izuna raised an eyebrow, considering Hashirama's words. Peace? Joining forces?

It wasn't impossible, but there were countless obstacles: centuries of hatred, ongoing bloodshed, and most recently, Izuna's own actions against the Senju. He had cut off Tobirama's arm, deepening the enmity between the two clans.

"I suggest you start with your own clan first," Izuna replied flatly. "The Senju need to come to terms with their hatred for Uchiha before there's any talk of alliances."

With that, he vanished using the Flying Thunder God Technique, leaving Hashirama standing alone amidst the ruins of Hyuga City.

Hashirama sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping as he whispered to himself, "The grudges between our clans... will they ever truly fade?"

Forty Miles from Hyuga City

Izuna regrouped with Uchiha Inosuke and the other Uchiha shinobi, who had been anxiously awaiting his return. Relief washed over their faces as they saw him alive and well.

"You're back, Deputy Chief!" Inosuke exclaimed. "And... Hyuga Tenzong?"

Izuna nodded. "Dead."

A collective sigh of relief swept through the group. The tension of the last few days seemed to dissipate instantly.

However, Uchiha Inosuke couldn't suppress his curiosity. "Deputy Chief, how did the Hyuga Tenzong become so... terrifying? His chakra—it was overwhelming, almost beyond comprehension."

The other Uchiha nodded, echoing Enhuo's astonishment.

Izuna smirked. "Just as the Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Byakugan can also evolve. Tenzong's power came from the next stage of the Byakugan—what's known as the Tenseigan."

The revelation left the Uchiha shinobi stunned. They exchanged uneasy glances, their minds racing with the implications.

"Does this mean... others in Hyuga could awaken it?" a younger Uchiha asked nervously.

"No," Izuna said firmly. "At least, not in the foreseeable future. Whatever method Hyuga Tenzong used to achieve his evolution, it's not something that can be easily replicated. The threat has been eliminated—for now."

Relieved by Izuna's reassurances, Inosuke allowed himself a rare smile. "Thank goodness. If more of those... Tenseigan users appeared, it would be a disaster for us, especially with our current battles against the Senju."

Izuna's smirk grew colder. "The war with the Senju is almost over. Once they're dealt with, the Hyuga Alliance will be next. After that, Uchiha will bring an end to this chaotic era and create a new, unified world."

His words were spoken with unwavering conviction.

The Uchiha shinobi fell silent, their gazes fixed on Izuna's back as they followed him toward their next destination. Their expressions were a mix of awe and reverence. In their eyes, Izuna wasn't just a leader—he was the man who would reshape history itself.
