"Uncle?! Have you already ......?"

Tsunade gently bites his fingertips and channels a trumpet slug.

The slugs gradually merged with her body, and a few light blue facial lines appeared on Tsunade's face, and in a moment, she also completed her immortalization.

Seeing that the two bigwigs of the Thousand Hands Clan had completed their immortalization so easily, this made the son-in-law on the side very hurt......

Obviously, I'm the first human being to cultivate immortal arts in the past few decades!

Why are you two immortals even more perfect than me?

Senju Kazuya looked at Tsunade and smiled with satisfaction, the immortal chakra on his body gradually dissipated, and the facial lines on his face faded little by little.

"I'm not a professional ninja after all, and the so-called immortalization can only last for a short period of time when my heart is ethereal."

This sentence made Jiraiya and Tsunade very envious, jealous and hateful.

Obviously, he has the inheritance of the bloodline of the Thousand Hands and Uzumaki clans, which are the purest ones in Pillar and Mito, and he has even figured out a way to open the immortal mode without any external help.

But he didn't want to be a ninja......

Kazuya stood up from the futon, waved the two of them, and walked towards the depths of the main hall.

"When I first saw my mother's letter, my heart was full of doubts.

Until, I came to the Temple of Fire and explained my intentions.

The old abbot just now, well, he was just a middle-aged monk in his forties back then.

He told me everything about my father's past here. ”

———————— Kazuya's memories kill ——————————————

In the twentieth year of Konoha and the young man Senju was also on a rainy day, holding an oil umbrella and gently knocking on the door of the Temple of Fire.

The abbot, who was in his forties, carefully looked at the young man kneeling opposite him in the side hall, and sighed after a long time:

"You, really look like ......"

"Like what?"

The monk smiled and explained:

"Lord Pillar back then."

“…… Father? ”

The monk nodded and continued:

"Let's listen to the monk slowly.

All of this, in fact, has to start with the origin of the Thousand Hands Clan and the Temple of Fire.

The Temple of Fire has been passed down to me for hundreds of years.

You know, a few decades ago, when the troubled times were not over, the Fire Nation was not as rich as it is today.

Both the daimyo and the officials in his palace had difficult moments of thrift, and the lives of ordinary people were even more difficult.

Naturally, our life in the Temple of Fire will not be too easy.

Our temple can be passed down in the midst of war, and it is inseparable from the help of the Thousand Hands clan. ”

"But...... Aren't we the Thousand Hands Clan? ”

The abbot smiled, nodded and explained:

"It's indeed a ninja family, but who has stipulated that the ninja can't have good intentions?"

The abbot's words silenced Kazuya, and he remembered the family motto that the Thousand Hands clan, who had been memorizing it since he was a child, under the guidance of his uncle:

At no time should we take the initiative to attack civilians who are unable to resist.

"The world where ninjas and samurai fight, we monks don't understand.

But the Thousand Hands Clan, since the day the Temple of Fire was founded hundreds of years ago.

We have never stopped helping us in terms of supplies.

In the long history, the Thousand Hands Clan and the Temple of Fire have watched and helped each other, and the relationship is very harmonious.

Therefore, over time, a tradition was born from the Thousand Hands clan. ”

"Tradition?"

The abbot looked at Kazuya with a smile and encouragement in his eyes.

"Successive patriarchs, before taking office, have to come to the Temple of Fire to meditate for a few months.

Just as Tongmeiyu needs to be warmed, they also need to wipe out the anger and impetuousness in their hearts.

Child, do you now understand the mission of your trip? ”

————————————————————————

"That's when I found out that my uncle, whom I had always resented......

He has already passed away because of an incurable injury he received on the battlefield.

Uncle Karuma seemed to know my resentment towards him, and did not let me know about his death.

Instead, let my mother write me a letter to the Fire Temple, and let me come to the Temple of Fire to complete what every Thousand-Hand Patriarch must go through. ”

Kazuya held a wooden box in both hands and placed it on his lap.

He gently opened the lid, and inside the wooden box were small wooden plaques engraved with people's names.

"These are the traces left by the successive patriarchs when they were meditating here."

He carefully took out a few pieces and held them in his hands.

"Between the Thousand Hands, between the Thousand Hands Pillars, and between the Thousand Hands Buddha."

Tsunade's eyes widened as he looked at the three wooden plaques in Kazuya's palm.

"It's!"

"That's right, uncle, father, and my grandfather.

That's the path they've walked......"

Kazuya also put the wooden plaque engraved with the names of the Buddha and Buddha back in the box, and stood up with the wooden plaque engraved with his father's name.

"Back then, my grandfather and Uchiha Tajima died together on the battlefield of Senju and Uchiha, and the patriarchs of the two clans died at the same time......

My father came here as the soon-to-be-appointed patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan. ”

Behind the few people, the elderly abbot of the Temple of Fire walked tremblingly with a Zen staff.

"Tsuruma-sama......

The days when I got along with him back then are still vivid. ”

———————— the abbot's memories to kill————————————

In the thousand-handed pillar of the year, after losing the two brothers of Banma and Wajian, he ushered in the death of his father Buddha.

Although the young Thousand Hands Pillar has already shown combat effectiveness beyond ordinary people, he has become a rare powerhouse in the history of the Thousand Hands Clan who can awaken Mu Dun's blood.

However, deep down in his heart, he is still the simple teenager who lacks self-confidence and is easily depressed and discouraged by some setbacks.

Although it will not be long before he marries the princess Uzumaki Mito of the alliance Uzumaki clan, completing the marriage and becoming the new patriarch of the Senju clan.

But at this time, he was not ready.

Confused, under the arrangement of his younger brother, he came to the Temple of Fire.

A group of monks had already greeted the young thousand-armed patriarch in the main hall, including a young novice who was only a few years old.

And this little novice, decades later, became the only surviving witness of this history, the current abbot of the Temple of Fire.

In the middle of the night, the burly thousand-armed pillars still knelt in the empty hall, looking up at the solemn and holy statue of the thousand-armed Guanyin.

Pictures of the past kept switching in his mind, and fresh lives came and went in front of him.

On the banks of the Nanhe River, with a watermelon head on his head, and the spot who can't pee out of the back is playing a game of throwing stones and drifting......

When he returned home, he was shocked to hear the bad news that he had died in battle.

At the funeral of his comrades who died in the war in Wajian and the clan, he asked his father why he let his children of several years old go to the battlefield to fight, and all he got was a scold and a slap in the face.

Father......

I always thought that my father was nothing more than a ruthless man, and in order to win, he could watch his young son die on the battlefield; can use the innocent friendship of his eldest son as a bargaining chip for assassination......

However, the war not long ago made him truly realize what kind of person his father was.

On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly.

Originally, the confrontation between Senju and Uchiha was evenly matched, but with the surprise attack of the Feather Cloak clan as a temporary ally of Uchiha, it completely developed in a one-sided direction.

Seeing that the situation was about to be irreversible, after releasing several powerful wooden escapes between the pillars, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness and weakness with the huge amount of chakra in his body......

That man, the old stubbornness in his heart, stood up.

He took one last deep look at himself, and spoke:

"Pillars, you and Tsukama, lead the young clansmen to retreat."

"Nope! I...... I can still fight! ”

"Shut up! This is the order of the patriarch! ”

Once again, he scolded himself coldly and mercilessly in the tone of the patriarch, and not, in the capacity and tone of a father.

Suddenly, my father's hand slapped heavily on his shoulder.

"From today onwards, you will be the next patriarch.

Remember, no matter how great an ideal is, if it is to be realized......

You must also have the consciousness to die for it! ”

After saying this, he turned around and rushed towards the person holding the Uchiha fan in the Uchiha clan's battle array.

He had already been covered in several wounds from the previous battle, and wisps of blood spilled to the ground along the cracks in his armor.

And wearing heavy armor, he held a sword, like a tiger in a desperate situation, and rushed towards his old enemy.

Behind him, dozens of clansmen who were also wounded followed his footsteps and brazenly died.

The desperate blow of the father and these clansmen finally disrupted the entire battlefield, allowing the younger generation of clansmen led by the Pillar Brothers to finally break through.

……

The young thousand-armed pillar knelt in front of Guanyin in a daze, and the light and shadow in the hall were intertwined, and the candles burned out one after another.

For a few days and nights, he didn't eat water and rice, and he kept thinking.

The ideal of himself and Madara back then, the ideal of pacifying troubled times.

The vendetta of the Senju and Uchiha clans, which have been enemies for generations, are stained with each other's blood on their hands......

The monks of the Fire Temple looked at the Thousand Hands Pillar that had been sleepless for several days and nights, and finally panicked.

Several eminent monks knelt beside him, trying to persuade him, but there seemed to be no sound in the columns, and they still looked directly at the Guanyin Treasure Elephant.

The monks gradually lost patience and walked away from him.

In the main hall, only the little novice who was a few years old was curiously watching this strange young man in the corner.

Ten days later, the monk sent by the Temple of Fire to deliver the letter finally returned.

He was accompanied by a young red-haired woman.

She came to the main hall and quietly looked at the tall and stupid man in front of her.

Is this her fiancé?

How...... It felt like a piece of wood.

This was the first impression that Uzumaki Mito had when he first saw Senju Tsuruma.

Mito is a rare non-female woman of the Uzumaki clan, and she has always been gentle and generous, and she has become interested in this wood-like man.

She followed the example of the pillars, knelt on the futon, and looked up at the Guanyin treasure elephant in front of her.

In the main hall, the young red-haired woman sat quietly beside the pillars.

This companion is more than ten days.

In addition to eating, resting, and sleeping, Mito was always by the side of the pillars.

Although the two had never met before, all their impressions of each other were only the eldest son of the patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan, and the strongest of the younger generation in the Thousand Hands Clan.

But Mito seemed to have developed a strange familiarity with this tall young man.

He seems to have a peaceful and simple temperament, although he looks dull and stupid, he is definitely not very smart......

However, people who are too smart are generally not too likable, whether for the same sex or the opposite sex.

At this point, the experience of the second master of the front room, who has been a bachelor all his life, is enough to explain everything.

……

Finally, one early in the morning, Mito, who was still a little out of bed and had not fully woken up, yawned and came to the side of the big log.

She was surprised to find that the thousand-handed pillar in front of her moved.

His waist straightened, his hands folded, and his whole person looked like a big tree bathed in the early morning sun.

Mito, who has a sensitive sense of chakra, discovers that in his body, the turbulent and surging chakra is gradually awakening, transforming into a more powerful and mysterious chakra!

Black facial lines spread from the face of the pillars, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, and he said softly:

"Father!

I've understood, as the patriarch of the Thousand Hands.

Inheriting this powerful force.

I'll still stick to my and Madara's ideals back then!

I want to pacify this troubled world where this ninja lives just to fight!

Build a village where children can grow up safely!

However, I also have the consciousness to sacrifice my life for this ideal at any time!

From today onwards, anyone who stands in the way ......"

The eyes covered by the veins were opened, and there was a trace of solemnity in the eyes between the pillars.

"He's the enemy of my Thousand Hands Pillar!"

Mito looked at the man in front of him with some surprise, as if he was a seed buried deep in the soil one second, but the next second it quickly sprouted in front of his eyes, pulling branches and stretching into a towering tree.

Hearing the exclamation of the woman on the side, he turned his head in a daze, and asked stupidly:

"Huh? Girl, who are you? ”

——————————————————————————

"Lord Pillar, he!

Is this where he awakens to become a true immortal? ”

After listening to the abbot's words, he felt that his heart had been damaged by 10,000 critical hits again.

Man is more dead than man!

I was made the most suitable human to practice the immortal method of Miaomu Mountain by the great immortals of Miaomu Mountain, but it took more than ten years to cultivate into an imperfect immortal mode......

And Tsunade on the side, and the thousands of hands behind several people, all showed longing on their faces.

"Oops! The acquaintance between grandpa and grandma back then was quite romantic! ”

A wicked smile tugged at the corners of Tsunade's mouth.

However, at this time, a strange voice came from the door of the main hall:

"In this situation, I can't help but recite two lines of poetry on the spot!"

"Shut up! Don't read it! ”

"The world is safe and secure, and it is not up to Mito to live up to it~"

……

The ninjas in the main hall with the Thousand Hands Clan Emblem on their clothes turned their heads gloomily.

What caught their eyes was a man wearing a white three-hooked jade mask.

On the man's shoulder, a puppet in the shape of a child sits, and its mouth grows up and makes a "quack" bad laugh.

The man seemed to know that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, turned around and ran.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't turn around, as soon as he turns around, the red and white group fan clan emblem behind him is revealed......
