The next day, Hashirama and Akio refused Senju Tenyu's request to bring people along and instead headed straight to the Land of the Tenbin s' territory on their own.
Upon arrival, they explained their purpose to the two gatekeepers, one of whom promptly went to report to the clan leader.
Before long, the leader of the Tenbin s Clan ca out to personally welco them. He was the very individual Akio had previously sensed—a shinobi with chakra fluctuations close to that of a peak jōnin.
"Welco, Senju Clan Leader," the Tenbin s Clan Leader greeted. "Please, both of you, co in." With that, he led Hashirama and Akio into the main hall.
After they took their seats, before Hashirama could even speak, the Tenbin s Clan Leader took the initiative: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason for your return must be to bring in an expert skilled in sealing techniques." Turning toward Akio, he continued, "This gentleman must be from the Uzumaki Clan."
"Red hair—it's obvious, isn't it? No need for you to guess…" Akio muttered internally.
Hashirama looked a little embarrassed. After all, bringing Akio here was for the purpose of dealing with the Tenbin s Clan, making the situation sowhat awkward.
"Senju Clan Leader, you need not be concerned. We were enemies before, after all," the Tenbin s Clan Leader reassured him.
"Yes," Hashirama admitted. "Originally, I invited Second Grandpa Akio here to seal away your clan's transformation ability..." He hesitated before continuing. "But now—"
"Can this transformation truly be sealed?" the Tenbin s Clan Leader interrupted.
Hashirama wasn't sure. He turned to Akio, who answered, "In theory, there is nothing that cannot be sealed."
"Then that ans our transformation can also be sealed?" The Tenbin s Clan Leader's expression beca intense. "In that case, please seal our transformation technique!"
Hashirama was visibly surprised, while Akio showed an expression of "Just as I expected."
After observing the chakra of the Tenbin s Clan up close, Akio had finally pinpointed the abnormality he sensed before.
It was indeed natural energy, but unlike Sage Chakra, it couldn't be absorbed or converted by the Tenbin s Clan. Instead, it continuously corroded their chakra, causing their bodies to mutate. It was highly likely that the Tenbin s Clan had suffered greatly because of this power.
Just as Hashirama was about to ask for clarification, soone suddenly barged in.
"Big Brother! You can't let them seal it!" The newcor was a towering man—an uncommon physique in the world of shinobi, sowhat reminiscent of the Third and Fourth Raikage.
"If they seal away our transformation ability, how will we protect our people?!" the man argued.
"Second Brother," the Tenbin s Clan Leader said solemnly, "do you truly believe that our transformation guarantees the safety of our clan?"
"Leaving aside others, the Senju Clan Leader is right here. Your transformation ability is completely useless against him!" he stated.
"Impossible!" The burly man roared and activated his transformation, launching an attack on Hashirama.
"Steel Arm Bind!" His right arm suddenly enlarged, reaching toward Hashirama in an attempt to grab him.
"This feels a bit like the Akimichi Clan's secret technique…" Hashirama murmured as he dodged with a flicker.
"Seismic Fla!" Failing to catch Hashirama, the transford arm instead slamd into the ground.
The earth quaked violently, montarily throwing Hashirama off balance.
"Super Heavy Punch!" Taking advantage of the opportunity, the burly man retracted his arm, gathered his strength, and threw a devastating punch at Hashirama.
"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!" Hashirama swiftly summoned five wooden barriers in succession to block the attack. Though he managed to defend against it, the clan hall was completely reduced to rubble.
"Such power… As expected of natural energy. Even an elite jōnin can montarily wield the strength of a clan leader..." Akio muttered in surprise.
With such commotion, more Tenbin s Clan mbers began to gather around.
Seeing the increasing number of onlookers, Hashirama clasped his hands together. "Wood Release: Birth of the Trees!"
Without using his full strength, a vast forest of towering trees sprouted within a hundred-ter radius. The burly man was soon entangled by the thick branches. After struggling for a while, he eventually lost strength and reverted to his original form.
At that mont, the Tenbin s Clan Leader stepped forward and addressed his gathered kin: "Do you see? This is the power of the Senju Clan Leader. Against such strength, our transformation is aningless! And think about the suffering this ability has brought upon us. Ten years ago, we had over 3,000 people. Now, we have fewer than 1,000!"
"Over a hundred years ago, our ancestors settled here and gradually gained this transformation ability."
"At first, this power indeed made us stronger. But as ti passed, more and more of our people were turned into mindless monsters, driven only by bloodlust!"
"In recent years, the number of those losing control has increased significantly. This transformation is a cursed power!"
"Therefore, as the Seventh Clan Leader of the Tenbin s Clan, I implore you all—let us abandon this power and allow the Uzumaki Elder to seal it away!"
A heavy silence filled the air. Then, one by one, more and more mbers stepped forward in agreent. Apart from a few who clung to their pursuit of power, most despised the transformation ability.
Seeing this, the Tenbin s Clan Leader turned to Akio.
Akio pondered for a mont before saying, "May I first examine the specifics of this transformation technique?"
The Tenbin s Clan Leader imdiately agreed and personally allowed Akio to investigate.
"As I suspected, the mutated chakra has already rged with their bloodline," Akio murmured. "If I am to seal this power, I must seal your bloodline's strength. This ans you will lose your transformation ability, and your descendants will no longer inherit this mutation. Over ti, your clan may weaken, eventually losing its shinobi capabilities."
"Of course, there is also the possibility of a future descendant experiencing a reversion of the bloodline, regaining the transformation ability." At this, Akio thought of Jūgo.
"Even knowing this, do you still wish to proceed with the seal?"
The Tenbin s Clan Leader clenched his fists before answering firmly, "Yes, seal it! If this continues, our clan may vanish from the Warring States Era altogether. Worrying about our descendants' strength is aningless if there are no descendants left."
Thus, Akio spent an entire month developing a specialized Bloodline Sealing Technique tailored to their mutation. He then spent another month sealing away the transformation ability in every single mber of the Tenbin s Clan.
Once the process was complete, Akio received a familiar notification: "You have witnessed and participated in the Naruto World's side story—The Sealing of the Tenbin s Clan. Witness Points 2."
"What?! Only 2 points?!" Akio cursed internally. "A whole month of effort, and this is all I get?!"
"So… side story, huh? Is it because Jūgo isn't a significant character in the main storyline? The Kaguya Clan's sealing had more points because they were connected to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, right?"
"Ah, whatever. 2 points are better than nothing."
With the sealing complete, Hashirama ca to Akio, ready to return to the Senju Clan. However, Akio stopped him.
"Hashirama, don't you want to know how the Tenbin s Clan acquired this transformation ability in the first place?"
