Chapter 110: Tobirama Senju Is the True Villain

Chapter 110: Tobirama Senju Is the True Villain

"I only know a little."

Hyuga Fuji smiled and said, "Speaking of which, at a time like this, don't you want to see your daughter?"

The girl named Chino withdrew her gaze from Hyuga Fuji and looked toward En Oyashiro.

He has a daughter?

I've never heard of this...

En Oyashiro tilted his head slightly, his peripheral vision lingering on Chino for a moment. With a quiet sigh, he turned to Hyuga Fuji with a wry smile and said,

"I'm a sinner who slaughtered my entire clan—I have no right to see her. Besides, even if I wanted to, I would need your permission now, wouldn't I?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Hyuga Fuji to respond and signed the contract willingly. "So, can I leave now?"

Hyuga Fuji showed an intrigued expression. "Of course. But as an employee of the company, you should still work for me."

"Yes, yes."

En Oyashiro sighed helplessly, stood up, and headed out. "There are a few decent ninja with kekkei genkai here. I'll bring them back for you. They're good seedlings—train them well, and they won't be weaker than jonin in the future."

As he reached the door, Chino followed behind. When passing by Hyuga Fuji, she lifted her adorable doll-like face, gave him a serious look, and asked, "Will the ninjas here all be saved?"

"Those who recognize the gap and voluntarily lay down their weapons can survive. The rebels who choose to fight for those nobles and merchants will die," Hyuga Fuji said with a smile.

Chino muttered, "Well, it can't be helped, I guess. Then I'll go find my companions. Can we follow you in the future? We're all really strong!"

Toward the end, she patted her chest, a confident smile on her face.

Hearing this, Hyuga Fuji glanced at En Oyashiro, who froze at the doorway, and nodded with a chuckle. "Sure, but can you be stronger than those outside?"

"..."

Chino glanced at the powerful ninjas weaving through the crowd outside and silently walked out.

That level of strength—she couldn't match it now. But one day...

Seeing this, En Oyashiro rubbed his temples in frustration, regretting his past decisions.

If he'd known, he wouldn't have brought Chino here. Now it was too late—his daughter was probably about to be lured away.

He knew very well how much Chino hated the coliseum and this place.

Now that Hyuga Fuji had destroyed it, Chino must truly want to join his forces.

Although En Oyashiro was glad to see this—after all, unlike him, who had slaughtered his entire clan, Chino could live freely under the sun—joining the man before him was far too dangerous.

Looking at Hyuga Fuji, En Oyashiro sighed inwardly and said helplessly, "I entrust Chino to your care. She's serious about this, and her potential is considerable. If she grows, she won't be weaker than Kaguya Yukou outside."

"The man who annihilated the Chinoike clan and nearly made the Ketsuryugan a lost art is particularly concerned about his daughter," Hyuga Fuji said with a faint laugh.

En Oyashiro sighed. "After all, Chino is my precious daughter."

And the only reason he had to keep living.

Hyuga Fuji turned his gaze to the gradually quieting scene outside. "As long as you cooperate, I have no reason to harm a child."

Not to mention, the Lightning Squad, which could trouble Sasuke in the later stages, was indeed worth cultivating.

Speaking of which, Chino claiming to be older than Sasuke in the future was actually true...

It seemed she was of the same type as Yagura. Her current appearance was identical to her future self. No changes after over a decade—impressive in its own way.

Beside him, En Oyashiro looked through the glass at the subdued merchants and nobles. After some thought, he said,

"I don't know what you're planning, but going too far will backfire. The shinobi world needs shadows—places where people like me can survive. Darkness will always exist. Letting sunlight shine equally everywhere is impossible."

Hyuga Fuji's low voice interrupted him. "I'm no sun. Dealing with this place is merely for the sake of the plan ahead—and to find a suitable testing ground."

An isolated island far from the shinobi world, filled with various bloodline limit ninjas, was the ideal testing ground.

Certain aspects of the Edo Tensei technique couldn't be fully realized without experimentation.

As Hyuga Fuji's words fell, a series of roars echoed, and a chilling chakra spread through the air, making people uncomfortable.

En Oyashiro froze and frowned, looking toward the coliseum's interior. His pupils contracted.

The fallen black-market ninjas rose one by one, their eyes blood-red, gnawing and tearing at each other.

This is... the power of a Tailed Beast?!

...

"My, my. How terrifying. Their power has multiplied several times over, hasn't it?"

Hozuki Gengetsu entered the coliseum and clicked his tongue in amazement at the frenzied ninjas.

"What a shame it's only temporary. Still, even so, it's a very dangerous technique. That kid, at his age, has developed so many things—it's truly frightening."

"You're wrong," Mu said as he landed beside him, snorting coldly. "The artificial Tailed Beast technique was originally one of the Second Hokage's creations. He admitted it to my face!"

"That bastard—at least half of our current predicament is his fault."

If it weren't for his various forbidden jutsu and research materials, Hyuga Fuji might still have become stronger through other means, but not in such an eerie and comprehensive way.

If given the chance, Mu would definitely nail that Senju old ghost into his coffin for good. If he kept researching, who knew what new horrors he'd create?

"Edo Tensei, Flying Thunder God, Spirit Transformation Technique, and artificial Tailed Beasts... I see. Our greatest enemy is actually the Second Hokage?"

Hozuki Gengetsu had a look of realization and agreement.

For someone who had developed so many forbidden techniques, Tobirama Senju sure had the nerve to call others evil. Wasn't he the root of it all—the ultimate villain?

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Hozuki Gengetsu turned his gaze to Mu and suddenly thought of a question. "By the way, where did Hyuga Fuji get your personal information? Wasn't it me who killed you? How did he not blow you to pieces?"

"I was wondering the same. That last Dust Release strike of yours didn't turn me to ash—it gave me a chance to emerge and speak with you."

Hearing Mu's slightly mocking tone, Hozuki Gengetsu rolled up his sleeves and approached him, annoyed. "Oh, what, you want to fight?"

"You're the one who started talking. Wanting to fight is on you, isn't it? Hotheaded fool."

Mu floated into the air, ignoring Hozuki Gengetsu's provocation, and said coldly, "I owe my Edo Tensei to you. The split body I left on the battlefield was taken back to Kirigakure and preserved until now."

"Oh, that. My bad," Hozuki Gengetsu paused, scratched his head, and chuckled. "You were a high-ranking Iwagakure official. Of course, I wanted to see what intel your corpse might hold. I didn't expect it was just a split body. Got fooled there."

The two had clashed many times in life, forcing each other to reveal their trump cards for survival.

It wasn't until this moment that Hozuki Gengetsu recalled this incident.

The Split Technique was indeed an extremely useful survival jutsu, but the leftover body wouldn't vanish like a clone, so it was naturally taken by enemy forces for preservation.

"You don't need to apologize. After all, Hyuga Fuji obtained your personal information from me."
