The Sarutobi clan wanted to seize the power of the Senju clan, and there were two important channels, namely food and medicinal materials.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, through the method of marriage, made others speechless. The person he married was a member of the Sakuragi clan, who was once an elder of the Senju clan.
This method is to eat up the entire family and plunder the resources of the Senju clan while Senju Nawaki is still alive. No wonder Senju Nawaki would say such words and do such things.
Recalling Konohagakure's series of actions, it is no wonder that it was a life-and-death feud. Hiruzen Sarutobi had no intention of letting the Senju clan return to Konohagakure, but took this opportunity to devour all the power of the Senju clan.
But they didn't expect that Nawaki Senju would suddenly awaken and be able to organize a counterattack of such a scale, plunging Konohagakure into a quagmire.
Under the leadership of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konohagakure has no way out. The Senju clan is out of control and its strength is declining. It will inevitably face the challenge of the ninja world.
In the future, Konohagakure will become the target of public criticism.
This time he came to the Wood city palace to take the blame for Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had already anticipated this outcome.
If he died, then their Shimura clan would take over the Senju clan's mission and become the victims of Konohagakure.
He can't die!
Otherwise, the Shimura clan will have no say in Konohagakure, and the only outcome will be genocide.
"I understand. From now on, I will never set foot in the Wooden City again."
There was a hint of respect and inquiry in Danzo Shimura's eyes when he looked at Nawaki Senju.
It was as if I saw my former teacher.
As he spoke, he sealed Sakuragi Senju's body in a scroll.
"Clever."
Nawaki Senju waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Danzō Shimura glanced at the corpse on the ground, a momentary struggle flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared on the spot.
Leaving a mess behind.
"Everyone, you should be aware of my attitude and the attitude of the Senju clan. The Senju clan and the Sarutobi clan are irreconcilable.
Today's affairs have been a bit of a distraction. We will have in-depth discussions tomorrow. I promise you will not return empty-handed and will get what you want."
Nawaki Senju's eyes swept over the other delegations watching the battle, and his voice fell clearly into their ears.
Everyone then realized that what was happening before their eyes was a play performed specifically for them, and they did not hide the reason behind it at all.
Nawaki Senju used this play to express his attitude towards Konohagakure, especially his relationship with Konohagakure's ruler, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The complete severance from Konohagakure and the lack of possibility of reconciliation made them think about it.
Konohagakure's power has been weakened. If you want to obtain rich land and resources, now is the best opportunity.
Not only will the Senju clan not help Konohagakure, they will also cheer from the sidelines.
The once loyal retainer of Konohagakure, Konohagakure's strongest barrier, left his home because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's foolish behavior.
Some people set their sights on the Senju clan. Even though they have declined, the resources they control can bring them great convenience.
What Nawaki Senju said just now was a hint to them.
Especially the delegations from Sunagakure and the Land of Wind, they are the forces that need food and medicine the most.
Because of the hostile relationship between the two sides, the Senju clan had refused many times, but now there is a turning point.
Nawaki turned and left, leaving room for imagination for all forces.
…
the next day.
What happened last night was engraved in their hearts.
Also let them organize what happened yesterday into intelligence and pass it back to their own forces.
Some people got the answers they wanted, found out the Senju clan's attitude towards Konohagakure, and left the Wooden City.
They are ready to divide Konohagakure and bite off a piece of fat from Konohagakure.
The remaining half of the people stayed in the Wooden City to explore the possibility of cooperation. Nawaki Senju's last words aroused the greed in their hearts.
In the hands of Nawaki Senju, the resources of a small Konohagakure are in his hands.
…
In the city lord's palace.
Senju Nawaki receives forces from all sides and decides the general direction of the future.
First of all, there are the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the five major ninja countries.
There is a mutually dependent relationship between the ninja village and the ninja country, but there are also contradictions.
The attitude towards Konohagakure has long made it clear that as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sarutobi family exist, the relationship between the two sides will be a life-and-death struggle.
The Daimyō of the Land of Fire just has a prejudice against Hiruzen Sarutobi. Since Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Hokage, the Hokage's voice has been continuously strengthened. He wants to create the title of the Twin Jades, which touches his bottom line.
The power of the Hokage and the Daimyō is a result of one increasing while the other decreases.
In the Land of Wind and Sunagakure, the Daimyō holds the greatest power, and the power of the Kazekage has been weakened to the greatest extent. If they say they will cut off your military funds, then they will cut off your military funds.
In contrast, in the Land of Lightning and Kumogakure, the daimyō has almost no power, and the Raikage can decide everything with a single word. It only takes a word to start a war.
The Hokage and the Daimyō of the Land of Fire are evenly matched in strength, restraining each other and being in a relative balance.
In the eyes of the Daimyō of the Land of Fire, he, Nawaki Senju, is also a tool to check and balance Hiruzen Sarutobi, and everything depends on the final game.
At this time, Nawaki Senju was meeting with the daimyō's confidant, Kazuma, one of the future twelve guardian ninjas.
Kazuma was originally the son of the captain of the palace guards. He was only 12 years old at the time, younger than Nawaki Senju.
The red band around the waist has a golden fire character on it, which is the mark given by the daimyō to those he trusts.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and the Senju clan provided some ninjutsu information to the daimyō to help him train a team to protect the country.
This is the prototype of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. At this time, the daimyō had realized that military force should be in his own hands, rather than relying solely on the military organization of Konohagakure.
During his interactions with Kazuma, Nawaki Senju, combined with correspondence with his aunt, gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the Land of Fire.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is constantly eroding the power of the daimyō through the influence of the ninja family, which is why the daimyō contacted him.
The Senju clan has an exceptionally good reputation in the ninja world, especially in the Land of Fire.
The solution that the Daimyō of the Land of Fire found was to develop his own military organization and protect the Twelve Ninjas.
Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi was going to sow trouble in this military organization by sending his own son, Asuma Sarutobi, into it.
The Twelve Guardian Ninjas were eventually divided into two factions, with Hiruzen Sarutobi winning and secretly controlling and influencing the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's influence on Konohagakure and the Land of Fire once reached its peak.
Now with the addition of Nawaki Senju, this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen, and all efforts will be made to train the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.
The Daimyō of the Land of Fire used Nawaki Senju, and Nawaki Senju also used him.
Both parties had their own ideas and finally reached a cooperation.
The Senju clan helped the Daimyō of the Land of Fire train his armed forces.
The Daimyō of the Land of Fire helped the Senju clan regain control of Konohagakure.
Both sides have a common enemy, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sarutobi family.
