This is a town called Karak.

In the past, the town was just a village with about a few thousand people, but with the establishment of the Scarlet Castle, Karak Town began to prosper.

The owner of the Scarlet Castle is said to be built by a special tribe whose eyes turn red and can see the future through the mist of fate, possessing the ability to predict and foresee.

But for Hank, who owns a bar in Karak, these are just legends.

The only true thing is that there was indeed a wave of foreigners migrating from the Luxembourg region of the western continent. They spent a large price to buy the highlands in front that included part of the desert as their territory.

Then the Scarlet Sheep began to breed a special kind of mountain sheep in the highlands. The meat was plump and delicious, and it caused quite a sensation when it first appeared on the market.

Soon, Scarlet Mountain Sheep became the export commodity of this area, and the town of Karak, which served as the external channel from Scarlet Manor, also took advantage of this favorable situation and quickly became prosperous.

Hank didn't care what secrets the people in Scarlet Castle had. He only knew that after that group of people came, the number of tourists visiting his bar increased and he made more and more money.

He liked this change very much, and was happy to accept the invitation of the scarlet tribe: to keep an eye on the customers who came to do business and prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Today was no exception. The bar opened at 5pm. As soon as he opened the door, a customer came in.

The guest was wearing a very common desert-colored hood, and it was unclear what he was wearing underneath. After taking off his hood, his long black hair and eyes of the same color were revealed. He looked very ordinary, and when he spoke, he spoke with the accent of a native of the Principality of Pala.

Hank greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, you are a stranger. Is this your first time here? Then I recommend you to try some Sura wine. It is brewed with a kind of fruit that is unique to us. It tastes very special."

The person who came was Ize Shan, who answered skillfully: "Okay, but I need to add a spoonful of honey."

The local fruit wine tastes sour with a hint of sweetness. Ize Shan can't stand the harsh sourness and prefers the taste with honey added.

Hank was a little surprised: "It looks like you've been here before."

"Yeah, I haven't been back for a few years, and this place has changed a lot."

Izawa Sugi's real body is still in Avalon, and he is still in the form of a heroic spirit summoned by the Rotten Oranges.

After canceling the contract with Gojo Satoru, Izawa Sugi activated the Mangekyo and returned to the Hunter world. However, due to the excessive consumption of energy, he was unable to use space teleportation across long distances for a while, so he simply bought an airship ticket and came here.

Izawa Shan's cell phone had been shut down due to unpaid bills after not being used for a long time, but fortunately the credit card he had applied for at the time could still be used.

Ize Shan thought that as long as he made a purchase, Kirshtalia would know that he was back, so he was not in a hurry.

Hank, the bar owner, smiled and replied, "Because the owner of Scarlet Castle started a mountain sheep farm here, everyone has made a lot of money."

Izawa Sugi was about to answer when he suddenly looked towards the door of the bar.

Ding-dong, two people pushed the door open.

The leader was a young man.

The boy was wearing a round-neck T-shirt, wide-legged trousers, sandals, and a baseball cap with the brim turned backwards. He looked like a lively and mischievous kid.

Ize Shan's eyes widened.

Oh my god, this...

The young man raised his head and gave Izawa Sugi a big smile.

"Hey, Asan, long time no see."

Senju, the 14-year-old boy with a watermelon head, Hashirama waved to Izawa Sugi, rushed over happily, and gave Izawa Sugi a hug - although to Izawa Sugi it looked more like a cannonball attack.

Izawa Sugi quickly stood up and caught his adoptive uncle. He looked at Hashirama Senju in astonishment, and his expression gradually became ugly.

"…What's going on with you?"

In Izawa Sugi's perception, it seemed that half of Senju Hashirama's power was forcibly extracted and stuck there, as if it was restrained by something, but it was not completely controlled and instead overflowed.

Senju Hashirama laughed, looking a little guilty: "It's an accident, it's an accident."

"Uncle." After not seeing him for a long time, Alluka came over happily and grabbed Izawa Sugi's cloak. "You're back~"

After Alluka said hello, Nanica also surfaced and called Izawa Sugi "uncle".

Izawa Sugi looked deeply at Hashirama Senju, gave him a look that indicated that he would explain later, and then looked at Alluka and Nanica.

"Have you been here all this time?"

Alluka said with a smile: "Well, I am here receiving daily lessons from the tutor, but my second brother often goes home. He and Kurapika opened a personal studio together and are currently working on a project."

Izawa Sugi: "Where's Kirshtalia?"

Alluka: "He's waiting for you in the Scarlet Castle." After a pause, he whispered, "He opened Chaldeas once and is currently running out of magic power, so it's inconvenient for him to go out."

While Izawa Sugi and Alluka were asking and answering each other, Senju Hashirama naturally picked up the bottle of soda that Boss Hank had placed in front of Izawa Sugi and seemed to want to drink it in one gulp.

Boss Hank stopped him and said, "Minors are not allowed to drink."

Senju Hashirama tried to straighten his chest: "No, I'm an adult!"

Boss Hank laughed and asked Ize Shan, "Is he an adult?"

Ize Shan said maliciously: "No, it's too early."

Senju Hashirama: “…”

After appreciating the embarrassed expression of Hashirama Senju, Izawa Sugi felt a little less depressed.

"So how did you get yourself into this situation? Who was the other party?"

Izawa Sugi began to think about how much power he should bring down to help Senju Hashirama get back his dignity.

Senju Hashirama shrugged: "It was an accident. Besides, I'm not dead, so I'm better than you."

He took the cup back from Izawa Sugi, "Ban threw me over here. He said you might be able to solve my problem."

Izawa Sugi's hand trembled, and he lost his grip on the wine glass, but he didn't care: "Is Senior Madara here too?"

"He's not here." Hashirama Senju downed his sora in one gulp. "He just noticed that something was wrong with me through the connection between Indra and Ashura, so he opened his Samsara Eye and came to find me."

Senju Hashirama told Izawa Sugi the whole story.

Unlike Izawa Sugi who has Merlin's help, and Uchiha Madara who has the Rinnegan and can travel anywhere, Senju Hashirama has no way to travel to the new world, but he doesn't care about these little problems.

Traveling is a journey without a purpose, it is just about finding a place to visit. When he arrives at a place, he will go deep into the crowd, live in seclusion there for many years, understand the local culture, learn about the local power from scratch, and after reaching the limit by analogy, he will be squeezed out of that world.

Maybe Uchiha Madara has moved to two places, and Senju Hashirama is still in the same place growing flowers and grass, so the connection between the two is not close, and they only meet once every ten years or so.

This resulted in Uchiha Madara being completely unaware when Hashirama Senju got into trouble.

"I'm just helping a friend." Senju Hashirama swung his wine glass and asked Izawa Sugi, "Didn't you go to a place called Britain before and stay there for many years? I also found a similar place and settled there in Europe."

Hashirama Senju lived for a long time. The longer people live, the easier it is for them to come into contact with the truth, especially since Hashirama Senju possessed such terrifyingly powerful strength.

"I know a man named Gakafis. His tribe is a pure Earthling, and they are also the supervisors and protectors of the planet. But as the number of their people continues to decrease, they can no longer maintain the flame of the Earth alone. So he came to me and said that he wanted to borrow my power to support the planet."

Senju Hashirama laughed heartily and said, "I agree."

Izawa Sugi was silent.

"He was trying so hard to protect his homeland, I couldn't say no."

Senju Hashirama took out a very beautiful gem, "This is it, the Seven Primordial Flame Gems. It was held by the people of Gakaphis as a medium to support the flames of the planet. But now there are only him and another tribesman left, and there are not enough people, so they split the remaining Primordial Gems into equal parts except for mine."

"I don't know what happened afterwards. After I took the Primordial Stone, most of my power disappeared instantly, just like a flood was released after a dam was opened. My body also started to shrink and became what it is now."

Senju Hashirama was shocked. He had never expected that the game would get so big. From a cosmic-level strongman who could challenge the heavens, the earth, and the air, he had shrunk to the level of a fourteen-year-old Chunin in the blink of an eye.

In such a short time, the power was drastically reduced. Indra on Uchiha Madara's side somehow sensed that something seemed to be wrong with his brother, so Uchiha Madara directly broke through the space, carrying a tin staff, stepping on the truth-seeking jade, and descended from the sky with murderous aura.

After sorting out the cause and effect of the matter, Uchiha Madara forced Senju Hashirama to have a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and meat without saying a word.

"I finally understand why you hid in the East China Sea and grew up in a shabby way after you had played yourself to death."

Senju Hashirama twisted his body and felt pain on his buttocks. "He actually hit me with a tin staff! That's too much! I'm an adult! Besides, I didn't mean it!"

Izawa Shan was smiling but his heart was not smiling. He actually wanted to give Senju Hashirama a good beating, but considering that Senju Hashirama was his elder after all, he endured it.

"…Madaram-senpai is scared. He has lost too much. He thought you would be fine, but you ended up like this. Of course he is angry."

Senju Hashirama glanced at Izawa Sugi with a half-smile: "I return this sentence to you exactly as it is."

Izawa Sugi coughed repeatedly, and he advised: "To Senior Madara, you are his brother. The longer you live, the fewer people will be around you. Don't you understand the temperament of Uchiha?"

Senju Hashirama sighed: "I understand. When Tobirama passed away, I went back to see him. I felt very sad. He is my younger brother and I am his older brother. Normally, I would have entrusted everything to him, but now..."

As his life level continued to transform and he stood at a higher and farther position, looking back at his past friends and relatives, Hashirama Senju only felt sadness and helplessness.

Despite his sadness, he also admired Izawa Sugi very much.

Izawa Sugi has awakened the gift of the Wisteria Fairy and has a long life. He must have already realized that he should let go of everything, right?

When Izawa Sugi heard that Tobirama Senju had died, his pupils trembled: "What? He died and only informed you, but didn't even call me!?"

Senju Hashirama thought that Izawa Sugi was upset, and said quickly: "Tobirama said he didn't want to add to your psychological burden..."

Who would have thought that Ize Shan would slap his thigh and say: "He is finally dead!!"

Senju Hashirama: “…Ah?”

Ize Sugi excitedly took out the small bottle and poured out a white hair from it.

"Ha! I'll use the Earth Reincarnation Technique to pull him out! He can be my office slave forever!"
