Chapter 61 - Chapter 61 My Death

The 14th finally arrived.

Throughout the day, the Senju Clan Grounds were bustling with people, with no abnormalities.

Late at night, Night Light stood atop the Hokage Rock, looking far into the direction of the Senju Clan Grounds with a telescope.

Behind him, Senju Kaba and Yachi waited patiently.

Senju Kaba watched Night Light put down the telescope and asked, "Did the Anbu really participate in the extermination of the Uzumaki Clan?"

Night Light nodded and said, "Of course they did. Konoha's slowness was very unusual. Both Kirigakure and Kumogakure had already reached Uzushiogakure, yet Konoha's intelligence system knew nothing. This is too strange."

Senju Kaba nodded. His son didn't die because of a Spy, but because he contacted the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan, his in-laws, and was killed by Konoha ANBU.

His son couldn't have died silently in an alley in Konoha Village; someone must have impersonated an acquaintance of his son and ambushed him.

Night Light said:

"The Uzumaki Clan survivors believe that Konoha ANBU cut off Uzumaki Mito's communication with the outside world under the pretext of transferring the Nine-Tailed's seal.

Lady Mito was completely unaware of the truth behind the Uzumaki Clan's extermination.

When the Uzumaki Clan wanted Princess Kushina to seal the Three-Tails, Konoha decided to abandon the Uzumaki Clan.

Konoha not only stood by but also blocked information.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, finally went to Uzushiogakure with over 2000 Ninja, but it was just a final show to maintain a relationship that didn't break the alliance."

Yachi, who had also participated in that rescue, nodded repeatedly.

Everything matched up.

His disciple, Bo, was pitiful; upon learning such a secret, his past values collapsed. It turned out the Village was not the Village he imagined.

In the end, he was killed by the Anbu.

Night Light said:

"During the day, the Senju Clan Grounds are heavily guarded. We will infiltrate after midnight, when the Senju Clan Grounds are relaxed.

Uncle Kaba, please be sure to take me to Lady Mito's residence. I have important information given to me by Vortex Yuka.

As long as this information is delivered to Lady Mito, it will surely prove the truth about the Uzumaki Clan's extermination."

Senju Kaba nodded, his eyes filled with a resolute determination to die. He said, "You said last night that there are also traitors within the Senju Clan, right?"

To prevent Senju Kaba from acting prematurely, Night Light fabricated this reason and continued to deceive him:

"Yes, there are traitors within the Senju Clan. Those traitors have sided with the Village.

They know the truth about the Uzumaki Clan's extermination. If you act rashly, you might be killed by them.

The most important thing now is to directly find Lady Mito and prevent the information from being intercepted by those traitors.

Your son's death was so suspicious, with a Kunai stabbed into the back of his head. It must have been an acquaintance who committed the crime, possibly a traitor within the Senju Clan."

Senju Kaba nodded repeatedly. This young man was indeed worthy of being the inside contact found by the Uzumaki Clan; his analysis was clear and logical.

Night Light, seeing that he had convinced Senju Kaba, turned to look down at Konoha Village.

My death tonight will be beyond your imagination!

"Drink! Drink, keep drinking!"

In the middle of the night, Senju Kaba, in the center, was completely drunk and swaying.

Two people supported him as they walked into the Clan Grounds.

The guards, seeing that it was Senju Kaba, knew that his son had only recently died and that he was in his worst mood.

He was being brought back by friends after drinking too much, so the guards didn't say much and let them in.

The person on Senju Kaba's left was Senju Bo's teacher, who often visited the Senju Clan.

The person on the other side was unfamiliar, a young man, perhaps a friend of Senju Bo's.

Night Light glanced at the large trees around the Senju Clan Grounds out of the corner of his eye. He was very familiar with the Anbu's monitoring points, turning his back to all the Anbu monitoring squads.

After the three entered the Senju Clan Grounds, they walked inward through the alley between the central and right paths.

Their steps were slow, swaying from side to side.

Night Light counted in his heart.

Entering the first courtyard...

Entering the second courtyard...

Entering the third courtyard...

After passing through four public courtyards, they were about to reach their target courtyard.

Senju Kaba had said that the fifth courtyard was Senju Rinmu's residence, and the sixth courtyard was Uzumaki Mito's residence.

As they approached the outer wall of the sixth courtyard, the three began to sprint.

Senju Kaba, despite wearing a prosthesis, was incredibly fast.

Night Light took out a Kunai, with steel wire tied to its back, and hundreds of Exploding Tags densely hung on the steel wire.

"You!"

Senju Kaba was about to say, "You're carrying so many Exploding Tags, it doesn't look like you're here to tell Lady Mito the truth."

The next instant, Senju Kaba saw Night Light throw the Kunai with Exploding Tags towards the back wall of Clan Head Senju Rinmu's residence, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's for the Clan Head, then it's fine.

Regardless of whether Clan Head Senju Rinmu was a traitor, with the Uzumaki Clan's extermination, the current Clan Head of Senju would at least bear the blame for incompetence.

Senju Kaba's wife came from the Uzumaki Clan; she was a gentle and resilient woman who left him many beautiful memories from the first half of his life.

After Clan Head Tobirama's sacrifice, the Clan gradually realized that Clan Head Rinmu's strength was insufficient to lead the Senju Clan back to its peak at the time of the Village's founding.

Who would become the backbone of the Senju Clan's revival after Princess Tsunade and Young Master Nawaki grew up?

Continuous Exploding Tags exploded at the back wall of Senju Rinmu's residence.

Thick smoke and loud noises broke the tranquility of the night.

Night Light shouted, "You go find Lady Mito! I'll hold off Senju Rinmu for you!"

Senju Kaba felt a surge of emotion. The inside contact found by the Uzumaki Clan was trustworthy.

This night, this young man would surely die, dying so resolutely.

After blowing open the back wall, Night Light looked towards the study.

Inside the study, Senju Rinmu still held a scroll, seemingly looking at something.

Upon seeing Night Light, Senju Rinmu's eyes were filled with fury.

"Where did this little thief come from!"

Senju Rinmu used the Body Flicker Technique to rush out of the broken wall and charged at Night Light.

Night Light, seeking out Senju Rinmu, did not want to be crippled by him and then sent for interrogation; that would be a complete waste.

So...

"Senju Rinmu! You've shamed the Senju Clan completely!

You good-for-nothing, second-generation slob! You're trash!

Even tying a Ninja dog to the Clan Head's position would do a better job than you!

You can't protect the Uzumaki Clan, nor can you protect your mother!

You..."

Senju Rinmu's breathing stopped, his nostrils flaring with rage.

He pushed off the ground, using the Body Flicker Technique to appear before Night Light, and unleashed a full-power punch in anger.

A tremendous force struck Night Light's chest, causing his chest to instantly cave in.

His pain nerves collapsed, and Night Light could no longer feel any pain.

What was piercing his arm?

Oh, it was his own ribs.

Yachi, watching from behind, was stunned.

No?

Weren't they here to clarify the truth to Uzumaki Mito?

Was that young man so hateful towards Senju Rinmu?

One would think Senju Rinmu exterminated the Uzumaki Clan; this young man was truly courting death, wasn't he?

Senju Rinmu sent the foul-mouthed little thief flying and saw the backs of Senju Kaba and Yachi.

The two were rushing towards Uzumaki Mito's residence.

"What are you doing!"

Senju Rinmu thought Senju Kaba had become a traitor and wanted to kill his mother, Uzumaki Mito.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

After three hand seals, a Water Dragon appeared, surging and coiling towards Senju Kaba and Yachi.

Yachi stood on the wall, turning to block the Water Dragon Bullet.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"

The Earth Wall held for a moment, then was immediately washed away.

Although Senju Rinmu's strength was not comparable to the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers, he was still an Elite Jonin for many years.

Senju Kaba's voice was extremely high-pitched and sharp in the night sky.

"Lady Mito! Konoha ANBU participated in the Uzumaki Clan's..."

Senju Rinmu's Water Release mastery was extremely high. After the Water Dragon Bullet hit the Earth Wall, it quickly split into three smaller Water Dragon Bullets, maintaining their momentum, bypassing the broken Earth Wall, and striking Senju Kaba's back.

Senju Kaba had been retired for many years, and his strength had severely declined. He was slammed to the ground by the Water Release.

He didn't manage to utter his last few words.

He lay on the ground, his chest and back shattered, spitting blood from his mouth, raising his arm, reaching out into the void towards Uzumaki Mito's living quarters.

A Ninja blade pierced Senju Kaba's head.

Captain Huang Quan had appeared here.

Until Senju Kaba died, the door to the living quarters did not open.

Night Light also drew his last breath.

Senju Rinmu's powerful punch had shattered Night Light's ribs, inserting them into his heart.

He saw countless Ninja jumping over the wall into the Senju Clan Grounds, rushing towards Uzumaki Mito's direction.

[Host death detected. Moon Viewing Arc system activating...]

It's here. I wonder what good things I can draw!
