Chapter 5

[Third Person POV]

"Who'd have thought your squad would disguise themselves and pose as regular Senju clan members," Setsuna says to an older-looking Senju with a scar running across his face.

"Hahaha, of course," replies the older-looking Senju while laughing in mockery.

"We outnumber you and your squad Katsuma, there's no way to escape," says Setsuna with pure hatred on his face

"Enough chitchat Setsuna don't you want to avenge your son or do you want to join him so soon after I killed him?," says Katsuma while unsheathing his sword.

**clang**

Their first strike causes shockwaves around their surrounding with how much chakra they both are releasing. They both started weaving hand signs the moment they disengaged.

'Katon: Kaen Senpū'

'Doton: Doryūheki'

Flame erupts in a spiraling manner around Setsuna's body which he then launches with his hands towards Katsuma, Before the flame is even released, Katsuma finishes his hand seals then he places his hands on the ground then raising an earth wall in front of him. This is not their first time facing each other.

*Boom*

The flames directly smash into the earth wall destroying the earth wall but fizzling out immediately. Picking up their swords they both sped towards each other with the first round ending as a tie.

*clang*

*clang*

*clang*

Their swords struck each other countless times with so much speed and intensity that most shinobis won't be able to follow with just their eyes, The red iris of the Uchiha with three tomoe constantly spinning in a bid to keep up with the Senju.

"How.....how...how have you gotten stronger than me," Setsuna exclaims in shock not able to form his sentence in one take.

You could see the different emotions clear as day on the face of Setsuna, a look of determination finally settles on his face with a slight hint of acceptance and perhaps regret as he knows he most likely won't leave here alive, Katsuma won't allow it as the bad blood between them would have to be settled on this particular night.

Setsuna looks at the mischievous smirk plastered on the face of Katsuma, wondering why he looks so relaxed because even though he wins, he and his squad would still be wiped out due to the difference in numbers.

*fwoosh*

*fwoosh*

Setsuna looks around in shock at the squads of approaching Senju clan members, wondering how the Uchiha clan spies did not inform them of the other squads leaving the clan compounds.

His spinning Sharingan eyes widen in fear as he hears those dreaded words most Uchiha clan members have grown to fear.

'Mokuton: Jubaku Eisō'.

[Indra POV]

I raised my tanto without even realising before I could even process what happened I was already hitting my back on a tree after tumbling on the floor for about 20 metres, managing to raise my face, I saw a foot coming down on my face with visible chakra underneath the foot, I immediately moved my head to the side and then,

*boom*

it felt like my eardrums ruptured, before I could react a heavy kick connected with my chin that launched me back by a couple of metres, I couldn't even accurately gauge how far I flew before landing back on the floor with a thud.

'What was I thinking, I knew I could die here but I got cocky taking this as a game of sort, I made plans for a potential attack in the future while forgetting I could die the moment I stepped onto the battlefield, this is the warring clan era, where 10 adults would attack a single 6-year old child without shame. I thought since Itama died young he was some kind of weak genin level shinobi while forgetting he was killed by literally adult Uchiha surrounding him.' I muttered knowing I'm the reason I'm in this pathetic situation.

Weakly opening my eyes with my blood all over my face, I looked up only to see Itama standing over me with what looks to be his sword directly lifted over me, before I could react I felt an intense pain going through my chest.

[Ding!!]

.......

**Somewhere in the Universe**

In what looks to be a desert, two men walking side by side carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from the heavy downpour of rain.

"Aren't you going to help him?" the older man asked without stopping,

"Why should I help him?" the younger man asks with a frown on his face.

"You know how hard it was to transfer him without those old bastards noticing and more importantly you know much power you gave up to ensure he won't question his death, making him not even remember how he died or bother asking about it goes against fate, it seems you've forgotten that Aizen," exclaims the old man with a look of annoyance.

Tch!!!

"Fine I'd help him," Aizen replies while hissing in irritation.

[Third Person POV]

*Boom*

An intense explosion coming from the forest.

"What is this massive chakra!!!!," I exclaim In shock

looking around and noticing most of my clan members are currently engaged in conflict with the remaining enemies the looking towards our leader waiting for instructions, he signals me and 5 other shinobi to follow him obviously to check what just happened inside the forest.

After five minutes we got to a massive clearing with the place looking like a massive fight broke out here between two S-rank shinobi, surprisingly standing in the middle of the clearing was a boy that looks like a normal six-year old except he has a horn growing out of his right forehead with spiky hair like a typical Uchiha but white as snow instead of black, the horn looks so seamlessly attached to his skin like his right forehead grew out to form a horn, he had black and red markings starting from his hands, up to the top of the horn circling his right eye, and then extending over his nose to circle his left eye, the irides of his eyes appearing white like the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan.

"De...Dem.....Demon," a younger shinobi beside me mutters in apparent fear.

"This......his chakra level is increasing at a very fast rate, no he's absorbing his chakra and adding it to his chakra pool, how is this possible?!."

I gulp in fear at what I just heard Hashirama-sama say.

"This boy,...... no this demon we have to kill him now or else he'd be a threat to our clan," I say to Hashirama-sama with fear all over my face.

'I know Hashirama-sama would not want to kill him, he hates killing people younger than him, but the demon is holding Itama-sama and absorbing his chakra, he might die if we don't stop him,' I thought to myself trying to justify killing the demon.

*Thud*

I look up only to see the demon throw Itama-sama's unconscious body to the floor, Hashirama-sama hasn't attacked yet so he must still be alive. Hashirama-sama suddenly unsheathes his sword followed by every other Senju around him including me.

A black and red chokuto that looks to be around 1.1 metres in length suddenly appears on his hand, the demon slowly unsheathes his chokuto revealing a black blade with red patterns all over it, while staring at the seven of us impassively.
