Chapter 69 Raiding the F4 Family
Around 11 p.m., Hashirama Senju stood atop a tall building, looking down at the brightly lit Daimyo mansion that had been burning all night.
Compared to thirty-four years ago, Daming Prefecture has expanded considerably, bustling with activity and far more prosperous than ever before.
Thinking back to the current state of Konoha Village, it has hardly changed since his death.
A complex and indescribable emotion welled up within Hashirama Senju: "Thirty-four years... the Daimyo's territory has developed to this extent, while Konoha has stagnated..."
Uchiha Mitsunori calmly said, "The Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans have been leeching off Konoha. The funds they embezzled are enough to rebuild three Konoha villages."
Hashirama Senju asked briefly, "What are your plans?"
Uchiha Mitsunori took out a finely drawn map from his pocket and spread it out on the rock.
"We disguised ourselves as two samurai and used shadow clones to fight. We started with the Mito family in the north of the castle and proceeded clockwise to eliminate them."
His finger traced a circle on the map: "Next is Shimura of the West City, then Utatane of the South City, and finally the Sarutobi family of the East City. That old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi must be left until the very end."
Then, he took out two sets of samurai equipment that he had prepared in advance from his storage scroll.
A while later, they put on black iron armor, with sharp long swords at their waists and dragon-shaped iron masks on their faces, making it impossible to see their true appearance.
Uchiha Mitsumine said softly, "First Hokage, we're not here to kill, so please control your strength. Just take all their money; I might come back to them again!"
Hashirama Senju stroked his black katana: "Don't worry, I'll spare their lives... After all, death is too easy for them."
Under the cover of night, the two sneaked into the Mito family mansion in the northern part of the city like ghosts.
The mansion covers nearly several dozen acres and is surrounded by a light blue barrier.
Uchiha Mitsunori squatted on a cherry blossom tree outside the wall, his Sharingan slightly rotating.
"Standard perimeter security, trigger-activated alarm. Two patrol teams, five men each, rotating every fifteen minutes."
Hashirama Senju closed his eyes and sensed for a moment: "No need for that trouble, I'll handle the barrier."
He clasped his hands together and gently patted the barrier.
The pale blue barrier rippled slightly before returning to its original state, but its nature had changed.
Hashirama Senju explained, "It won't sound an alarm now, and I've also added a temporary silencing effect. No matter how loudly we fight inside, no one outside can hear us."
Uchiha Mitsunaga nodded slightly and followed Senju Hashirama into the barrier.
Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together, creating eight hundred shadow clones that densely filled the surrounding space.
Then, these shadow clones quickly rushed in all directions.
Fighting alongside Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, sounds incredibly exciting!
Uchiha Mitsunori took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and created three hundred shadow clones to follow him.
According to previous investigations, the Mito clan has 552 ninjas. However, only 2 are elite Jonin, 9 are Jonin, and 31 are Special Jonin. The rest are Chunin and Genin.
Faced with the shadow clones of Senju Hashirama and the three Uchiha clan members, the Mito clan ninjas didn't even have time to raise an alarm before being knocked unconscious by a hand chop from one of Senju Hashirama's shadow clones.
Two elite Jonin rushed out of the main house, only to be met with a yard full of shadow clones, and froze on the spot.
"Who are you people... what are you doing here...?" the newly appointed Mito clan chief murmured.
Without uttering a single word, the dozens of shadow clones used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to rush towards the two.
"Damn it, that's fast... Watch out!" The newly appointed clan leader, Mito Hirota, had just finished shouting when the newly appointed deputy clan leader, Mito Hiroki, was knocked to the ground.
Soon, the two were dragged to the center of the courtyard.
Upon seeing the Mito clansmen scattered on the ground, Mito Hirota's pupils suddenly contracted: "What do you want?"
Hashirama Senju stomped on his shin, cracking his shinbone, and said coldly, "I heard you brought a lot of money from Konoha. Are we here to collect protection money?"
Uchiha Mitsumine produced a piece of paper and said, "The vast wealth that Mitokado Homura carried should have been divided between the two of you, right? Hand it all over obediently, or your Mito clan will be wiped out tonight!"
The newly appointed Mito clan chief and deputy chief, Hirota Mito and Hiroki Mito, knelt on the ground, the cold samurai swords around their necks putting immense pressure on them.
"Don't kill us, we'll pay!"
Screams rang out as Hashirama Senju and the shadow clones of the Uchiha Mitsunaka quickly searched the entire mansion.
……
The Shimura clan of the Western City is more heavily fortified than the Mito clan, with more patrolling ninjas and even sensory ninjas stationed there.
However, in the face of absolute power, all defenses are meaningless.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
In the pitch-black night, the shadow clone samurai army descended once more.
The Shimura clan ninjas were knocked down by a barrage of blades before they could even see who their enemies were.
An elite Jonin from the Shimura clan roared, "Damn it! These samurai... how do they use shadow clones?"
Just as he was about to form a hand seal, he was struck simultaneously by three shadow clone warriors and instantly lost consciousness.
The Shimura clan's 586 ninjas were wiped out in just ten minutes.
……
The Utatane clan of Nanjo had 830 ninjas... but they were quickly overrun by more than a thousand shadow clones.
……
Soon it was the Sarutobi clan's turn, watching as a large number of Sarutobi ninjas were knocked down or sent flying.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was terrified and retreated continuously.
"Absurd! Samurai... this amount of chakra... is even more terrifying than a tailed beast! Who are you people?"
