One Piece: I Became Kizaru… But With Rinnegan?! Chapter 165 165: Momonosuke Bound

"You, what do you think you're doing?!" Momonosuke's face instantly drained of color, his body trembling uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with terror, his voice sharp and shaking.

"I am the son of Kozuki Oden, the future Shogun of Wano Country! If you dare touch , the people of Wano Country will not let you off!"

"The son of Kozuki Oden?" Senju Tobirama let out a cold laugh, undisguised contempt in his gaze.

"The incompetent son of an incompetent man dares to run his mouth in front of ?"

His fingers flicked lightly and a chakra rope instantly bound Momonosuke tight.

Momonosuke struggled, but could not break free at all.

"You, let go!" Momonosuke shrieked, a sobbing edge creeping into his voice.

"Kanjuro! Nekomamushi! Inuarashi! You retainers, co save !"

However, Nekomamushi and the others had been completely defeated by Senju Tobirama and could not move at all.

They could only watch helplessly as Momonosuke was bound by Senju Tobirama.

Senju Tobirama swept a cold glance over Momonosuke, his voice low and laden with pressure.

"You still have your uses, and Wano Country will beco a stronghold for Konoha, while the Kozuki family and their kind of incompetents are to be completely wiped out."

His gaze swept over Nekomamushi and the others, his tone carrying a thread of irrefutable decisiveness.

"From this day forward, Wano Country will welco a new order, and as for you, I strongly advise you not to entrust your lives to people of this sort."

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with resentnt.

Senju Tobirama looked coldly at Momonosuke wailing before him, a trace of disgust flickering in his eyes.

Momonosuke's voice was sharp and grating, carrying an infuriating arrogance.

"You lowly ninja, how dare you kidnap this young master! When I beco the Shogun of Wano Country, I will have every last one of you put to death!"

Senju Tobirama's brow creased slightly, undisguised contempt in his gaze.

He thought back to his own experiences in the Warring States era when he was young, because in those days of raging war, when he and his brothers were the sa age as Momonosuke, they had already been cutting through battlefields and bearing the fate of their clan on their shoulders.

Yet the Momonosuke before him only knew how to shout from behind others, with no sense of responsibility whatsoever.

"Noisy." Senju Tobirama said coldly, then raised his hand and delivered a precise knife-hand strike to the back of Momonosuke's neck.

Momonosuke's voice cut off abruptly and his body slumped softly to the ground.

"Young Master Momonosuke!" Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, upon seeing this, were instantly beside themselves with fury.

They struggled to charge forward, but Senju Tobirama had already anticipated their move and his hands rapidly ford seals.

"Water Release, Water Prison Technique!"

With his low shout, the moisture in the surroundings rapidly converged and ford into great spheres of water that trapped Nekomamushi and Inuarashi inside.

The currents within the water spheres coiled around their bodies like chains, leaving them unable to move.

"Damn it!" Nekomamushi gritted his teeth, his claws tearing desperately at the water prison's bonds, but to no effect.

Inuarashi also tried to break free using Armant Haki, but the resilience of the water prison far exceeded their imagination.

Senju Hashirama stood to one side, a thread of complexity in his gaze.

He looked at Nekomamushi and Inuarashi trapped in the water prison, then looked at Momonosuke knocked unconscious by Senju Tobirama, and finally let out a sigh.

"Tobirama, let us go."

Senju Tobirama gave a nod, hoisted the unconscious Momonosuke with one hand, and turned to leave.

Orochimaru licked his lips, a trace of amusent in his gaze.

"What a fascinating group of people."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and murmured to himself.

"Those who cling to blind loyalty will never achieve anything great."

The Senju Hashirama group walked farther and farther away, leaving only Nekomamushi and Inuarashi trapped in the water prison, their eyes filled with despair and fury.

"Damn it, we couldn't even protect Young Master Momonosuke!" Nekomamushi gritted his teeth and slamd his fist hard against the inner wall of the water prison, but to no effect.

A trace of self-reproach showed in Inuarashi's gaze.

"We were just too weak, and if Lord Oden were still here, he would never have allowed sothing like this to happen."

Kanjuro struggled to climb up from the ground, blood still at the corner of his mouth, and he slashed the water prison apart with his sword.

"This is no ti for self-reproach! We must find a way to get Young Master Momonosuke back!"

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi exchanged a glance, a flash of resolve in their eyes.

Nekomamushi said in a low voice, "That's right, the future of the Kozuki Family cannot be ruined in our hands, and we must go to Wano Country, gather the other retainers, and rescue Young Master Momonosuke together!"

Inuarashi nodded, a trace of cold intent in his gaze.

"That Senju Hashirama's group is certainly formidably powerful, but we cannot retreat, and for Lord Oden's sake and for the future of Wano Country we must give everything we have!"

A flash of fierce determination crossed Kanjuro's eyes.

"In that case, we set off imdiately, first go to Wano Country and find Raizo and Denjiro, then find a way to contact the others."

The Senju Hashirama group returned to their ship.

Inside the cabin, the group sat gathered around a rough wooden table with a map of Wano Country spread out across it.

Senju Tobirama's finger traced lightly over the map, a trace of cold intent in his gaze.

"Wano Country has an excellent geographical position and abundant resources, yet it has been squandered to this state by a group of incompetents."

"Whether it is Kozuki Oden or Orochi, they are all a bunch of incompetent fools."

"The terrain of Wano Country is complex and divided into six regions, each with its own ruler and defensive system, and our goal is to minimize civilian casualties while swiftly dismantling the rule of Kaido and Orochi."

Senju Hashirama sat to one side, his brow furrowing slightly, a trace of concern in his gaze.

"Tobirama, the safety of civilians is our foremost consideration, and the people of Wano Country have suffered enough from war."

Senju Tobirama gave a nod, a trace of confidence in his tone.

"Rest easy, I already have a detailed plan, and though our numbers are few, we are all elites, so as long as we move swiftly with precise strikes we can bring the situation under control in the shortest possible ti."

He pointed to Flower Capital on the map, a trace of cold intent in his gaze.

"Flower Capital is the core of Wano Country and the center of Orochi's rule, so once Flower Capital falls the other regions will naturally collapse without needing to be attacked."

Senju Tobirama looked at the group.

"Our plan is simple: charge straight in and carry out a decapitation strike, with the targets being Orochi and Kaido, because once they are dealt with the entire ruling structure of Wano Country will collapse instantly."

Senju Hashirama, sitting to one side, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this plan.

"Tobirama, isn't this plan of yours a little too blunt and straightforward? We are going up against Yonko Kaido after all, and his power is no joke."

Senju Tobirama gave his elder brother a speechless look.

"Brother, you always overcomplicate things, because when you have sufficient power, direct and blunt is the most efficient approach."

"There are only a few of us, which is exactly right for leveraging our mobility advantage, and infiltrate, assassinate, and decapitate in one clean sequence, with no need to clash with them head-on at all."
