"Did he die just like that?"
Shortly after Uchiha Madara led his clansmen away, the Sarutobi clan, who had noticed something was happening here, also rushed to the scene.
Sarutobi Sasuke felt a trace of sadness in his heart as he looked at the miserable death of his good friend from the Shimura clan.
After all, they were good friends who had known each other for many years, so he walked up and pulled the kunai out of his head.
Then, he closed his friend's eyes with his hands.
"Young Clan Leader, we have found the bodies of all the Shimura clan ninjas."
The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan also felt somewhat sympathetic.
After collecting the bodies of the Shimura clan ninjas, a heavy feeling arose in their hearts.
The guys who ambushed the Shimura clan took action shortly after the Shimura clan left the Sarutobi clan's territory.
This shows that they have enough confidence that they can quickly kill the Shimura clan's ninjas without giving them any time to react.
"It was the Uchiha who did it.
They showed no sign of trying to conceal their actions, which was a warning and a punishment."
Sarutobi Sasuke stood up, his eyes deep.
He asked his tribesmen to handle the bodies of his friend and their fellow tribesmen, and he personally led a group to return them to the Shimura clan.
When the patriarch of the Shimura clan learned of his son's death, his face showed a moment of unrest.
In this chaotic world, regardless of who you are, you may die in the next second.
Moreover, this is not the first child he has lost.
But even so, the heart that had gradually become numb and cold after countless battles and fights couldn't help but ache a little.
"Uncle, I am sorry for the loss."
Sarutobi Sasuke comforted the Shimura clan leader and told him their discovery.
Chief Shimura nodded with a heavy face.
"I understand. Don't worry, Sasuke. I won't act rashly."
Fighting and killing among ninjas is normal.
Even vendettas without any reason or excuse could break out at any time in the chaotic ninja world.
"He died simply because he wasn't strong enough."
Having come to such a conclusion, Chief Shimura, who had no intention of seeking revenge on the Uchiha clan for the sake of his child, said these words with a slightly choked voice.
He couldn't possibly bring more of his tribesmen to be buried with his son just because of his selfish desires.
The Uchiha clan is too powerful compared to their Shimura clan.
Now, numerous enemies surround the Uchiha clan, hindering their ability to mobilize on a large scale for the destruction of the Shimura tribe.
They should be secretly happy.
It is even more unlikely that they would take the initiative to bring bad luck to the Uchiha clan again.
His allies, the Sarutobi clan, would not be so foolish as to follow him and charge into the enemy.
...
"Brother, you are finally back!"
Near the Senju clan, the younger brothers Kawarama and Itama ran towards their eldest brother happily.
They took the initiative to avoid their father, Senju Butsuma, who had always been a strict representative in their hearts.
This made the old father Senju Butsuma's face turn black.
You two little brats, don't you see that he is a father?
It's just that I'm usually a little strict with you.
Do I have to scold you when I see you slacking off but also have to send you out to carry out dangerous missions for the sake of the family?
Didn't he, Senju Butsuma, survive under the education given by his father?
"Father, brother, and this...sister-in-law, welcome back."
Fortunately, he has a second son, Tobirama, who still has his eyes on him and is satisfying.
Senju Butsuma nodded and walked into the family first.
Next, it is time for the young people to gather. With him as a father around, the children have nothing to talk about.
"Is this my sister-in-law? Wow, so beautiful!"
Seeing his two little brothers cheering and shouting with joy around him, Uzumaki Mito breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
She is just a girl of sixteen years old.
Leaving the familiar family where she had lived for more than ten years and away from her fellow tribesmen made her heart fill with fear and anxiety.
Fine.
Senju Hashirama is somebody who looks very honest but also silly and stupid when you get along with him.
His younger brothers did not show any sign of being unwelcoming towards him.
He took out some specialties from the Uzumaki clan from his luggage.
After Uzumaki Mito was divided among Kawarama, Itama and Tobirama, the two younger brothers called their sister-in-law even more sweetly.
"See, Mito, my brothers are very enthusiastic."
Uzumaki Mito became more and more relaxed. After following her elder brother Hashirama into the Senju clan, she began to look around curiously.
The environment of the Senju clan differs from the Uzumaki clan, where the sea surrounds them.
The climate in the Land of Fire is drier and more comfortable.
Moreover, the Land of Fire has lush vegetation, green trees and abundant resources.
Uzumaki Mito has started to like this place a little.
"Yes, then I feel more relieved."
Tobirama followed behind his eldest brother and sister-in-law, watching them walk into the family side by side.
He also saw his sister-in-law, Uzumaki Mito, who seemed to have quickly changed from the uneasiness she had about coming to a strange place.
This immediately gave Tobirama a bad feeling.
As far as he knew, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan generally had bad tempers and were rather irritable.
When the sister-in-law's shyness of coming to the Senju clan is over, it won't be another spicy red pepper.
As he observed his sister-in-law Uzumaki Mito quickly becoming lively, cheerful, and very friendly, Tobirama's ominous premonition intensified.
There's always a feeling that the whole family will be in turmoil from now on.
Tobirama sighed softly. At least tonight, he wanted to be happy for his father and elder brother, who had returned safely.
The next day, he woke up early and arrived at the training ground. He was doing the daily basic warm-up training, exercising his chakra control ability, and training Tobirama in taijutsu [physical skills].
Suddenly, I heard a cheerful, lark-like voice behind me.
"Tobirama, Tobirama, what's the most delicious thing in the Senju clan?"
Tobirama stopped and looked behind him helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, you should ask my brother. He knows more about this than I do."
"Oh, your elder brother has been very tired these days. He went to bed very late last night and is still resting now."
Tobirama's face twitched. He suspected that his sister-in-law was driving, but he had no evidence.
"Just tell me which direction it is, and I'll go there myself."
"There."
Tobirama pointed in the direction of a family that sold breakfast that he thought was delicious.
My eldest sister-in-law, Uzumaki Mito, immediately ran over excitedly.
"She's quite a lively sister-in-law, isn't she?"
Senju Momoka, who was standing by, seemed to understand Tobirama's feelings and smiled softly.
However, looking at Uzumaki Mito running away happily and then looking at Tobirama, a hint of shyness flashed across her pretty face.
