Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 016: Cripple, Then Heal

Senju Wakama has now gained his younger sister's approval, so he is no longer under her watchful eye. He quietly follows his elder brother, Hashirama, as he leaves the clan's territory.

Senju Wakama discovers that Hashirama is heading to the Nakano River to meet that boy... who is suspected to be from the Uchiha clan.

This makes Senju Wakama deeply concerned for Hashirama's safety.

Senju Wakama immediately seeks Zetsu's opinion.

However, faced with this question, Zetsu only chuckles slyly, offering no comment.

This leaves Senju Wakama utterly confused.

Senju Wakama assumes that Zetsu only cares about matters related to his younger sister, Tsukiyo. As for Hashirama, Zetsu probably doesn't want to meddle.

After much deliberation, Senju Wakama decides to inform his second brother, Senju Tobirama, about this.

After all, Senju Tobirama is the most quick-witted among the brothers. Perhaps he can analyze the situation and come up with a reasonable solution.

With this in mind, Senju Wakama grits his teeth, stops spying on Hashirama, and quietly retreats.

However...

"Bang bang bang—"

"Ahhhhhhhhh—"

Senju Wakama rushes back home. As he pushes the door open, the first thing he sees is his younger sister violently beating up his second brother, Senju Tobirama.

The spacious courtyard is filled with Tobirama's hysterical screams.

Senju Wakama doesn't know what happened before he arrived.

All he sees is:

His sister mercilessly punching Tobirama in the face, then healing him;

His sister mercilessly punching Tobirama in the groin, then healing him;

His sister mercilessly punching Tobirama's arm, then healing him;

Crippling, then healing;

Crippling again, then healing again.

His sister's strikes are extremely vicious.

In an instant, Tobirama has been crippled and healed more than three times.

This brutal and terrifying scene leaves Senju Wakama stunned.

Is this some kind of horror game?

Has his sister finally shifted her "Iron Fist of Love" to Tobirama? Will this month's catchphrase become "Tobirama, you're crippled"?

No, what horrifies Senju Wakama is that in the past, when his sister made him "crippled," it was always through traps. Now, she can personally cripple them with her fists?

She's becoming more and more terrifying!

At this moment.

Zetsu seems to sense danger and suddenly slips off Senju Wakama is body, slithering away into the shadows as if fleeing.

Senju Wakama: "..."

Wow, even Zetsu is scared off!

To scare Zetsu like this, it must be... absolutely...

Senju Wakama quickly turns around, intending to "sneak" away, but a powerful force grabs his shoulder.

Turning back, Senju Wakama is startled.

His beautiful sister, with a faint blue light in her eyes, smiles and says, "Wakama, you've been eating too much rock sugar before bed lately. Your teeth have turned black. Let me tell you, staying pretty makes it easier to be forgiven for anything. Come... let me fix your teeth."

Wait...

His teeth are fine!

Before he can say this, his sister delivers a fierce punch.

With a "thud," his old teeth fly out, and new ones grow in.

He does look better now...

Thus, in the courtyard, except for Hashirama who is out, the three brothers endure their sister's "Iron Fist of Love," and their appearances improve dramatically in a short time.

After this ordeal, Tobirama is terrified of his sister, and the youngest brother, Senju Itama, is even more fearful of her.

Finally satisfied, the sister is led away by Hashirama.

Senju Wakama realizes that he has grown taller, his body coordination has improved, and he looks better. This is an unexpected gain after being beaten by his sister.

...

Winter arrives.

The war has not ceased.

But because of Tsukiyo, the four Senju brothers are no longer sent on missions.

Bright sunlight reflects off the thin snow on the hillside.

The green plants that have endured the harsh cold are struggling to rise.

During these days.

Hashirama is constantly leaving the house, and each time, he takes Tsukiyo with him.

Senju Wakama knows that Tsukiyo follows Hashirama every day, using a reasonable excuse to keep an eye on Hashirama and that Uchiha boy.

With Tsukiyo around, Hashirama's safety shouldn't be an issue.

Even if there is danger, it's likely the Uchiha boy meeting with the siblings who will suffer.

From then on, Senju Wakama stops paying attention to them.

Not being sent to the battlefield, Senju Wakama voluntarily patrols the outskirts of the Senju clan's territory.

Patrolling... patrolling...

He truly encounters... fate...

At noon this day.

Senju Wakama maintains his "sneak" state as he circles the outskirts of the clan's territory, going farther and farther until he reaches the Nakano River.

Climbing to the top of a small hill, he gazes into the distance.

The vast forest mixed with snow is breathtakingly beautiful.

Senju Wakama feels how insignificant he is in comparison.

Recalling his sister Tsukiyo, who can command this forest, Senju Wakama feels a sense of reverence and humility. There's no need to conquer his sister and create discord between them.

The current situation is quite good for Senju Wakama.

The expansive forest and rivers stretch endlessly into the horizon.

Senju Wakama is perspective broadens.

After admiring the scenery for a while, Senju Wakama re-enters his sneak state, ready to continue patrolling the snow-covered forest.

Suddenly, a series of voices arguing can be heard not far away.

It sounds like several people are quarreling.

Senju Wakama is expression tightens. If the Senju clan's conflict with the other two hostile families has extended here, he must go and take a look.

Driven by an inexplicable feeling.

Senju Wakama, still in his sneak state, heads toward the source of the voices.

Before setting off, Senju Wakama asks Black Zetsu to scout ahead and find out what's happening.

In an undeveloped area surrounded by strange rocks and hundreds of ancient trees, four people stand.

Three older ninjas are confronting a small, slender child, the atmosphere tense.

Senju Wakama takes a closer look. The three adults and the child are all unfamiliar faces, but based on their attire, the three young men can be identified as members of the Hagoromo clan.

The small, slender child has no clan insignia on their clothing, making it impossible to determine their origin. Based on their figure, they appear to be a girl.

This girl has long, disheveled black hair, her eyes bound with bandages, and she holds a cane, seemingly blind.

Among the three young men, the leader appears to be the oldest, in his twenties, with a hooked nose, deep-set eyes, a burly figure, and a long sword in hand. He wears a forehead protector, and a scar runs across his face, giving him an indescribably sinister aura.

To his left is another young man in his twenties, short and stocky with a round face, thick lips, and wide eyes. His hands are as thick as tree trunks, and his reddish skin exudes a violent temperament, resembling a bloodthirsty killer.

On the other side is a mature-looking woman, seemingly in her twenties, with faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She lacks the innocence of youth, instead exuding a seductive yet pale and sinister aura, like a ghost risen from the underworld.

Senju Wakama watches from a distance, maintaining his sneak state without moving an inch.

The three Hagoromo members have clearly surrounded the seemingly fragile child.

Three adults against one child?

Senju Wakama is puzzled.

Soon, Black Zetsu, resembling a mass of filth, slithers back from the shadows and whispers in Senju Wakama is ear, "The three Hagoromo members seem to be scouting the area, but the little girl blocked their path..."
