"Who sent you to attack the Uchiha clan?"
Senju Hayashi coldly stared at the ninja from Root who was bound, then removed the ninja's mask.
It was an ordinary face, nothing special. In fact, Hayashi couldn't see any vitality in the face at all.
In fact, when he saw it for the first ti, his mind beca a little hazy.
This kind of expression, he had seen it before, back when he lived in the civilian district, on the faces of dying beggars. However, this assassin in front of him had the sa expression, and his eyes were just as vacant.
It was as if this person couldn't see a future, or perhaps, was being controlled by soone!
"Who sent ? Heh, we are the reinforcents hired by Uchiha Itachi, and our mission is to destroy the Uchiha clan!" The empty eyes slowly lifted to et Hayashi's gaze, then glanced at the vines binding him. "Wood Release, the Lord would surely be very interested in your abilities!"
This person had been fortunate enough to visit Danzo's laboratory and naturally knew about Danzo's obsession with Wood Release and the Sharingan!
After this mission, the Sharingan would surely be in Danzo's hands, and the person in front of him with Wood Release seed like a good candidate. It was just uncertain how long this young one could hide.
"Uchiha Itachi?" Hayashi frowned, then shook his head. "Impossible. Uchiha Itachi is the future clan head of the Uchiha clan. How could he do sothing like this? Tell , who is your leader? What organization do you belong to?"
Having followed Genya for such a long ti, Hayashi's eyes flickered with a hint of coldness, and he could tell that the ninja was lying!
So, he wanted to find out more.
"I've said all I need to say. If you don't believe , there's nothing I can do. Haha... If that's the case, go find the truth. It might be even more cruel... cough cough" The Root ninja knew he had no hope of survival. After saying his last words, blood suddenly spilled from his mouth!
He died imdiately.
Hayashi's eyes were filled with shock.
What... this ninja committed suicide.
He was puzzled in his heart, wondering which force could have such loyal subordinates.
However, he wasn't angry. He retracted his vines and turned to join the battle with Might Guy. This ti, he was only a support. These opponents, facing the Might Guy with Eight Gates, wouldn't last long.
Almost half of them were already down, and Senju Hayashi was also now acting as backup, dealing the finishing blows from behind.
These were assassins hired to kill Uchiha mbers, and Senju Hayashi wouldn't show rcy!
Might Guy, however, wanted to leave so alive to report back to the Hokage, so while fighting, he called out, "Hayashi, leave a few alive! I need them to report back to Lord Hokage!"
Helplessly, Senju Hayashi chose a few of the most seriously injured to spare and tied them up with his clothes!
At this point, Might Guy's battle was nearing its end. The eight Jonin who had surrounded him were either dead or severely wounded and no longer posed a threat.
He then turned and rushed towards the six Root ninjas who were attacking the Uchiha clan.
"Damn it. We never expected you to be here!" 04's eyes turned cold as he saw Might Guy charging at him. He also rushed toward Might Guy!
During this ti, he shouted at his subordinates, "Quick, run and report to the Lord about the situation here!"
With that, he and Might Guy clashed.
As one of the higher-ranking mbers of Root, 04 managed to hold off Might Guy, who had opened the Eight Gates, for a while.
anwhile, three injured Uchiha mbers held off four of the attackers, but one ninja used the night to escape.
A little more ti passed, and Senju Hayashi, working with the Uchiha guards, took down the remaining four. Even 04 was captured by Might Guy!
At this mont, Might Guy grabbed 04 by the collar and asked seriously, "Who are you? Why did you attack the hospital?"
04 gave Might Guy a grin, blood pouring from his throat. But he still choked out his words, "Might Guy, you were the biggest variable today. If it weren't for you, none of the Uchiha here would have survived!"
"Heh... aren't you curious about my identity? We're assassins sent by Itachi to eliminate the Uchiha clan!"
04 said slowly, his voice growing weaker and weaker, possibly due to his imminent death.
The sounds had almost disappeared.
"Did they commit suicide? No, hurry, go get a doctor. This person is the leader of these assassins; we need to take him to see the Hokage!"
Might Guy instructed, telling Hayashi to hurry and find a doctor. But as he turned his head, he saw that the people tied up by Hayashi were also starting to vomit blood.
Did... they all commit suicide?
At this mont, Toshi stepped out from behind the crowd. He checked the vitality of these individuals, even prying open their mouths to take a look.
He finally shook his head and said, "These people are under so kind of cursed seal. There's no saving them!"
This cursed seal, it should be one that forces people to commit suicide under certain circumstances!
As Toshi spoke, his hand clenched into a fist. He had been studying cursed seals for a while now and had just started to make so progress. He didn't expect to encounter such a malicious cursed seal again!
From his observations, this cursed seal could be even more vicious than the Hyuga clan's caged bird seal. Who could be cruel enough to create such a deadly technique?
At the sa ti,
It strengthened Toshi's resolve to continue his research on cursed seals.
This ti, he was determined to find a way to counter cursed seals, and also, seals that could enhance one's combat power!
The cursed seals on these people's tongues had left a strong impression on Toshi.
Moreover, there were still many people in the ninja world studying cursed seals.
"There's no hope?" Might Guy retracted his Eight Gates, looking at Toshi in shock. He knew Toshi; he was another teacher of Hikari.
Back then, they even had an argunt. Might Guy thought that if Hikari pursued dicinal ninjutsu, her talent would have been wasted, but Toshi also thought that Hikari was wasting her ti learning Taijutsu under the thick-browed man. They both refused to back down.
Luckily, Genya had been there at the ti, or else... Toshi might have been beaten by Might Guy!
However, Hikari had made progress in both dical ninjutsu and Taijutsu. At her current pace, in a few years, she could even surpass Tsunade.
[Note: Referring to her overall abilities—ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and dical ninjutsu.]
Toshi was never interested in Might Guy. He simply gave him a glance and said, "Are you doubting my dical skills?"
"Old man, you..." Might Guy was speechless.
He just calmly responded. Might Guy, on the other hand, walked towards the three Uchiha clan ninjas by the door. At this mont, the three were collapsed on the ground, their breathing slowing down, covered in wounds!
The fight just now had been completely fueled by their willpower and the responsibility to protect the hospital, which allowed them to hold on until now.
But now, with their determination fading, they couldn't get up anymore.
However, the hospital was finally safe. Might Guy planned to stay overnight to guard it and report to the Hokage's office tomorrow.
On the other side...
Team 03 entered the rchant Association's Police Force area.
