Chapter 214: Political Legacy
After the captive presentation ceremony, Sasuke did not immediately go to the Senju clan territory, but returned home first. Currently, the Umino clan had developed quite well. With the continuous support of seafood from the Land of Waves, it was only a matter of time before they monopolized Konoha's fish market. As for the Haidilao restaurant, with Torifune's support, it was making a fortune every day.
After dealing with family matters, Sasuke used the clone cooperation technique to teleport Nawaki and his younger brother, Tobirama, from the Land of Grass front. Then he took them to the Senju clan territory. Mito wanted to see him, not just him, but rather her beloved grandson. Bringing Tobirama was just a distraction.
As the first generation's wife, the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools' aunt, and a pillar of Konoha, Mito, though retired, held a very high status. Sasuke had prepared a meticulous gift for his visit: a large amount of royal psychic nectar from the Kamizuru clan, renowned for its longevity benefits. The Senju butler was astonished.
"Master Umino, Lady Mito is running a little late. Please enjoy some tea," he said, and took the two young men to play.
Sasuke had barely drunk half a teapot when Nawaki was guided back, his eyes red. "Brother-in-law, I'm a member of the Umino family from now on. You won't abandon me, will you?" he said, hugging Sasuke's thigh, with tears streaming down his face.
The butler nodded, confirming Sasuke's suspicions. Under his guidance, he met Mito and understood why she had made such an arrangement. Although she still looked young, she radiated an air of old age, approaching the end of her life. At any moment, she could transfer the Nine-Tails to Kushina. After the experience of Nawaki's "death," she no longer trusted Hiruzen. It would be better to trick those who knew her into believing her grandson was dead, so he could assume a new identity and start over.
"Sasuke, you have the most peaceful chakra I've ever seen in a ninja. Very good," Mito said, quite pleased. The Nine-Tails' benevolent perception could be deceived, but the innate nature revealed by chakra was infallible.
To thank Sasuke for saving his life, Mito planned to give him all the shops and properties the Umino clan had rented, including as a reward a recipe for the secret medicine of the Thousand Hands.
"Mito-sama, there's no need," he said, and summoned a scroll. "This is a gold ingot worth 90 million ryo. I'll pay for it."
In a deal that was half sale, half gift, the Umino clan not only obtained a large amount of real estate in Konoha, but also the area around the Valley of the End. As soon as the three left, Mito summoned many ninjas one after another to transfer the Senju clan's political legacy to Sasuke.
The next day, Aburame Shihei showed up, claiming he would join his army no matter what. In addition, many ninja geniuses came to him one after another. Over the next few days, rumors spread through the village, alleging that Sasuke had given Mito a longevity elixir, winning her favor and allowing him to buy Senju properties at a very low price. It was said that she had even recognized him as Tobirama's disciple, treating him like her political grandson. Sasuke often visited Mito with his two young siblings, treating the Senju as if they were his own family, which further cemented the rumors.
