Chapter 42: Valley of the Wind


    At dusk, in the Valley of the Wind, the wind breezed, creating a whistling sound, it blew the grass swaying, as if it was dancing. Under the crimson sky, Masahikos cape was fluttering by the blow of the wind


    Numerous people of the Senju were gathered on the vast in, staring ahead, their clothes were embraced by the winds. All of them were d in the Senjus n armor, which is fitted for each of them. Masahikos armor was distinctively different. He was wearing light clothes with a cloak on his shoulders.


    Well, some people prefer coolness over protection, and this was the case for Masahiko.


    Tobirama was also there, he looks at Masahiko, then he suddenly palmed his face and said, Second Grandpa, you dont understand, weve asked you to hide in the army, how you would do that with this dress?


    Masahiko nced at him, then snorted, Maybe youre the one who really doesnt understand. Your older brother is trying to hide me in this massive army. But theres something more important than my safety alone As he said that Masahiko turned back, making Tobirama do the same. His disciples behind were wearing the same cloaks and light clothes, Masahiko made them wear theme so both of them can recognize each other easily on the battlefield.


    Hashiramay unseen by the unwary eyes. He stood near the tall grass; behind him, there was a dark brownnd, with a simr color to his armor and dark hair.


    Ten years ago, the valley if the Wind witnessed a great war. The wholend was scarred; blood soaked the earth, turning it red. Now, the grass is flourishing and covering these old scars, perhaps nature got flourished from the corpses that filled it in thest great battle.


    Hashirama recalled that old battle, Here Is the ce where father and Uchiha Tajima fell in battle


    Masahiko saw the looks of reminiscing on Hashiramas face, and he quickly remembered the war he heard about a decade ago. It was the most influential and known war of the warring states. It was the war that marked the end of the older generation, where thest of the four great patriarchs have perished. And also where the younger generation of the Senju and Uchiha climbed to the top.


    Masahiko looked anxious; he was thinking, I dont know if Im considered from the older generation or, the younger now? After all, Im ten years younger than my second grandson


    On the side, the new Second Elder of the Senju noticed Hashirama gazing silently to the horizon, however; he couldnt help but interrupt, Patriarch, the Uchiha said that the war will break out on the dawn of the third day, and we came here two days in advance, wouldnt it be wise to let the people rest first?


    Hashiramae back to his sense quickly, then shouted, Everyone, set up the camps and rest!


    In the previous times, the Shinobi will just end up resting in the open space, and at most, they will bring with them one or two tents for important meetings.


    But now, thanks to Masahikos invention, the sealing scroll


    Just in half an hour, the mountain got filled with tents all over the ce. Although they werent here for a vacation


    They were even summoning food and meat from the scrolls Masahiko got stunned at first, then he smirked and muttered, Hahaha What a great man I. Inventing this sealing scroll has granted me fresh meat everywhere!


    On the side, Tobirama looked in disbelief; he looked at Hashirama and said, Big brother, I didnt tell them to carry these things


    With a guilty smile on his face, he said, Ah, I think they did on their own. Then shouted, Since everyone has brought with them this fresh meat, lets hold a banquet while the Uchiha is not here yet!


    Oh! Long live the patriarch! The crowds shouted happily.


    Thus, right before the valley of the end event, a grand banquet got suddenly held. Fortunately, the Uchiha kept their word and didnt show up before these three days.


    On the following days, Tobirama dragged with him Masahiko and used water and earth techniques to clean the ce. He was afraid that the Uchiha will know they had a banquet just before the battle.


    After the cleaning, several Shinobis gathered around and prepared to build fortifications.


    Of course, the significant advantage ofing to the battlefield sooner wasnt only to have a banquet but to seize the opportunity of having a great position on the battlefield.


    The Valley of the Wind. Damn it, why are people calling it valley it a freaking in! Masahiko couldnt stay quiet about this. He was angry because Masahiko tried once again to y it cool in front of Hashirama, he wanted to set up a trap on the cliffs, surrounded by them from both sides, Masahiko nned to use a technique and make the cliffs copse and bury all of the Uchiha armies. But it turns out the Valley of the Wind is actually a vast in.


    Hashirama then said, Second Grandpa, its actually a valley before, but itsndscape got changed from the previous wars.


    Masahiko then nodded, Hmmm I see Then this ce should be renamed then. How about the Five-Head of the Sakura? (T/N: Referring to Sakuras huge forehead, get it?)


    Tobirama just quietly followed his brothers on supervising the establishment of the fortifications.


    In fact, there was no defensive fortification; they were just digging in some hiding ces and distributing some Bomb Papers in it, so the lower-ranked shinobis can still y a more significant role in this battle. The Warring States Period has always been like this. Masahiko felt that he doesnt need to interfere with this. So he called his three disciples to give them some instructions before the beginning of the battle.


    ording to Masahikos judgment, between the three of them, the most powerful one is Yuriko, but here weak confidence made her unable to win against Kenichiro once. Masahiko was most worried about her. So after he thought about it, he assigned her in the trench to help there. Hoping she wont have to face the enemies directly.


    As for both of you, follow me in battle. I will point out the appropriate enemies for you to fight and test your skills.


    Kenichiro was excited and agree with a loud roar. But Nanako seemed worried, Sensei, let me protect Yuriko


    Masahiko nced at her and said, No! You didnte all the way here to do that! I have taught you how to use Fuinjutsu for actualbat. This battle is the right opportunity to test your skill!


    After he finished assigning these tasks for his disciples, Masahiko then just waited idly, looking at the Senju brothers boringly, while supervising the preparations of fortification.


    Time has passed, and now its already noon. The Senju have finished all of the preparations, and now they were resting in their tents, waiting for the arrival of the Uchiha.


    At this time, Masahiko suddenly felt a slightly familiar chakra.


    This chakra Its not the Uchiha This is Senju Sora!


    Surely, in the distance, they can see a figure approaching quickly. It was the great elder Sora who should have stayed in the vige.


    Tobiramas face suddenly changed, Big brother!


    Hashirama quickly rushed toward him, Sora then promptly said, Patriarch! I saw Madara near our vige!


    Hashirama says, Is he alone?


    Sora replies, Yes, I only see and sense him.


    Hashirama nodded, Madara, do you n to fight me one-on-one? Tobirama, you take charge of preparing our people to face the Uchiha, I will go back to take care of Madara!


    Hashirama then hesitantly said, Sora Lets go!


    Both of them quickly rushed back to the vige.
