Chapter 138: Two-Tailed Beast in Danger
忍界
The Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Sarutobi, and Shimura clans, along with the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka Ino-Shika-Cho clans, the eight great ninja clans put aside their past differences and formed an alliance to capture the tailed beasts.
The temporary camp of the Eight Tribes Alliance was set up in the desolate wilderness, with tents stretching as far as the eye could see.
On the high slope west of the camp
Senju Shirako stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the orderly allied forces below. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression carried a hint of unresolved worry.
"Xuan, are you really absolutely confident about our plan to capture the Tailed Beasts together? The Tailed Beasts are aggregates of chakra from heaven and earth, possessing immense power. If we are not careful, all eight of our clans could be brought down with us."
Senju Shimae turned to look at the tall and imposing Uchiha Gen beside her and asked in a low voice.
Uchiha Gen, dressed in the traditional clothing of the Uchiha clan, had one hand behind his back, his expression calm and composed, but a hint of determination lurked in his eyes.
Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this: "Don't worry, the strength of the two of us alone is already among the top of the ninja clans. Moreover, this time, we Uchiha have brought an extremely powerful 'weapon' that is enough to turn the tide of the battle."
"weapon?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Senju Shige's eyes, and she subconsciously asked, "Could it be a ninja tool even more powerful than your Uchiha's Flame Fan? I've never heard of your clan possessing such a treasure."
"Hehehe..."
Uchiha Gen chuckled softly, slowly shook his head, turned his gaze to the Uchiha's private camp not far away, and said calmly, "You're wrong. My weapon is not a ninja tool, but a person."
"people?"
Senju Shirako was even more puzzled and looked in the direction he was pointing.
In the center of the Uchiha camp stood a sturdy iron cage wrapped in special sealing talismans, and inside sat a small, thin girl.
The girl looked no more than five or six years old. She was dressed in thin clothes, her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. She just sat there blankly in the cage, lifeless, and looked no different from any other orphan girl.
Senju Shimizu turned to Uchiha Gen with a blank expression, her tone full of confusion: "A little girl? Gen, are you kidding me? How can such a young child be considered a powerful weapon, and how can she be of any use in capturing tailed beasts?"
"Don't underestimate her."
Uchiha Gen's tone suddenly turned colder, and his gaze towards the girl in the cage carried an almost icy pride:
"This girl was chosen by our Uchiha clan from birth and trained according to the standards of a 'weapon' throughout her life. In order to give her power comparable to a tailed beast, we even transplanted the world's top eye techniques into her."
Senju Shirai frowned even more deeply: "Transplantation? What kind of eye technique is it that's worth all this trouble?"
"We have known each other since childhood, and our friendship is extraordinary. The reason why the eight clans were able to form an alliance is precisely because of the trust between us. I might as well tell you frankly."
Uchiha Gen slowly turned to the side, his right eye slightly opening. In his scarlet pupil, three tomoe spun rapidly, then outlined intricate and eerie patterns.
It was the Mangekyou Sharingan!
Xuan withdrew his gaze: "In recent years, many powerful individuals from our Uchiha clan have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Unfortunately, they all passed away one after another during the clan's wars."
"I painstakingly used the power of my kaleidoscope to extract all the kaleidoscope eye techniques they retained after their deaths and transplanted them into this girl's body."
Senju Shirai's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in her heart.
He knew all too well the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
That is the ultimate eye technique of the Uchiha clan. Each pair possesses incredible power. Now, they have concentrated the eye techniques of multiple Mangekyou Sharingan into one child. This kind of method can only be described as insane!
Senju Shirato nodded slowly, finally understanding Uchiha Gen's confidence, but then, the concerns in her heart surged up again.
"I see. With such power, the chances of capturing the tailed beasts are indeed much greater."
But I'm still worried that if we rashly attack the tailed beasts, will we be too reckless and end up being accused of defying the world?
After all, the Tailed Beasts are part of human faith, and our actions will likely draw criticism from the entire ninja world.
Uchiha Gen looked at his indecisive appearance, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
Uchiha Gen interrupted directly, his tone firm and unquestionable: "Shima, we've known each other for so many years, and you're still so naive."
"In chaotic times, the strong are respected, and the so-called 'condemnation of the world' is nothing but an excuse for the losers."
"Once we successfully capture all the Tailed Beasts and control this invincible power, we can unify the ninja world and end this century of war!"
"At that time, there will be no more chaotic criticism, only eternal peace and stability. Everything we have done will be considered a great achievement in saving the ninja world!"
Senju Shirako remained silent for a moment, gazing at the distant, smoke-filled horizon. She thought of the countless clansmen who had died in the war and the displaced people. Finally, she gritted her teeth, and the hesitation in her heart gradually dissipated.
Yes, in this chaotic world, only by ending the conflict through extraordinary means can we achieve true peace. His and Uchiha Gen's goal has always been to end this endless war.
"Furthermore, if our generation fails to accomplish this, do you think future generations will have the same awareness as you and me? We can be friends, but will our descendants?"
Uchiha Gendo asked.
Senju Shirako shook her head, agreeing with what Gen said.
Future generations will not have their awareness, much less unite together; this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just as the two were talking, two figures rushed toward the high ground. They were the head of the Sarutobi clan and the representatives of the Ino-Shika-Cho triad, which consisted of the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans.
The two walked quickly, their expressions solemn.
"Clan leaders, the scout ninjas we just sent out have reported back that they have located the Two-Tails, Matatabi, in the desolate forest thirty miles north of the camp. Their movements are clear. Shall we set off immediately to capture this Two-Tails?"
The representative of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio stepped forward and spoke in a calm tone.
"Alright, let's act quickly! Notify Uzumaki that we also need the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques to deal with the tailed beasts."
Uchiha Gen nodded and looked at Senju Shirai.
The four exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
The reason why the eight tribes were able to form an allied army was largely because the leaders of these eight tribes were all determined to end the chaos.
The Nara clan chief in the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was very clever; he knew that internal strife couldn't continue and wanted to form an alliance.
Coincidentally, this generation of Indra and Asura reincarnations did not fight each other.
Furthermore, both the Sarutobi and Shimura clan leaders were conservative and lacked ambition.
All these factors combined to bring about this collaboration.
