Nawaki Senju, who was far away in the Wooden City, was always paying attention to the progress of the war.
He scoffed at the actions of Konohagakure's inner circle and could not understand the Uchiha clan's reaction.
Uchiha clan, if you don't destroy them, who will? Each one is more crazy than the other.
Uchiha Itachi must have been influenced by the idiot Uchiha Fugaku.
Nawaki Senju had to admire Hiruzen Sarutobi for being able to find a way out in the crisis.
The Uchiha clan is powerful enough to replace the Senju clan.
However, in terms of logistical supplies, they cannot compare with the Senju clan.
The Uchiha clan's main industries are minerals and weapons.
After realizing the crisis, Konohagakure put pressure on the Land of Fire and the Senju clan, hoping to restore their previous trade relations and monopolize the Senju clan's supplies.
The price offered was still the same as before, and it looked like alms.
Nawaki Senju did not agree and insisted on one condition: Sarutobi Shinnosuke had to come and apologize to him.
This seemingly unrestricted condition could never be achieved by Konohagakure.
There was a lot of dissatisfaction within Konohagakure towards the Sarutobi clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was not in a hurry. He used this excuse to let the Heavenly Kingdom and the Nara clan speed up to fill the trade gap left by the Senju clan, and he was secretly pleased with himself.
Externally, he began to use Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, two former leaders of the Senju clan, to discredit the reputation of Nawaki Senju.
Denying his legitimacy as the leader of the Senju clan.
All of this is like clown-like behavior in the face of Mokuton.
Wooden City.
City Lord's Mansion.
The senior Jōnin of the Senju clan gathered again for a meeting.
The conference room was cleaned and looked fresh, with a few bouquets of flowers on the table, adding a bit of liveliness.
The ninja world began to discredit Nawaki Senju, and different voices also appeared within the Land of Fire, believing that Nawaki Senju was not qualified to occupy the Wooden City.
"They're all ungrateful dogs. It's also Tobirama Senju's fault for leaving us with something to hold against us.
Do you actually take our charity and our efforts for granted?
It's ridiculous to use the so-called Hokage's will to bind us."
Doma Senju said it jokingly with a smile on his face.
He has the qualifications to evaluate Tobirama Senju.
The status of the Senju clan's inherited elder is only lower than that of the Senju clan's patriarch, but Tobirama Senju has never officially succeeded as the Senju clan's patriarch.
Tobirama Senju devoted all his energy to Konohagakure, and finally ordered the Senju clan to integrate into Konohagakure.
He treated the Senju clan as his own private property and dedicated it to Konohagakure without considering the feelings of his clan members at all.
The loyalty of these people here to their families far outweighs their loyalty to Konohagakure.
Especially those who are still alive in the Senju clan, they have all been deceived by Tobirama Senju's last wish. How could they possibly abide by the last wish to integrate into Konohagakure?
The faces of every Jōnin present were no longer filled with anxiety like in the first meeting, but rather with calmness and hope.
Nawaki Senju's actions over the past half month have allowed the Senju clan to gain a firm foothold, and these rumors are just a diversion.
"Don't blame Tobirama, human greed is endless, and evil still triumphs over good.
Human nature can never stand the test."
Saneto Senju, with a melancholy look on his face, explained for Tobirama Senju.
He was originally an important supporter of Tobirama Senju, but because of his great influence, he was rated as a Genin in the ninja evaluation.
He was once so naive, believing that he could eliminate the barriers between people and that everyone could live equally in Konohagakure.
The Senju clan lowered their status, and a large number of monsters appeared in Konohagakure.
Those small families in the past developed a sense of superiority and used the power in their hands to divide the people of Konohagakure into different classes, which completely went against the original intention of establishing Konohagakure.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen is still as self-righteous and stirring up trouble as ever.
A formal letter was also sent to inquire about Sarutobi Shinnosuke's whereabouts."
Nawaki Senju shook his head with a mocking look on his face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi should have realized that Sarutobi Shinnosuke's disappearance was related to him, which is why he wanted to use this method to test him.
The two sides had clearly already fallen out, but he still wanted to use the elders' posture to pressure the other, which made Nawaki Senju dazed.
It seems that the image of Senju Nawaki played a certain role.
Even if one's temperament changes drastically, it is impossible for him to become a completely different person.
Danzō Shimura did not report the detailed information in Mokuton: Mokuzō no Jutsu to Hiruzen Sarutobi, which led to his misjudgment.
Perhaps in his heart, Nawaki Senju would still be affected by his will of fire, but now he is just being controlled by the Senju clan.
The other Jōnin had angry expressions on their faces.
This old guy Hiruzen Sarutobi dares to do this.
Only Doma Senju knew the details and was secretly wondering whether there were any loopholes.
"Chief, the rumors have spread too widely. Even if the people in the family don't believe them, they will eventually have an impact on us.
Different voices also emerged among the nobles of the Land of Fire.
In the future, it will have unpredictable adverse consequences for the Senju clan and affect the reputation of the Senju clan.
Should we take any action?"
Doma Senju looked at him inquiringly, with hints in his words.
Rumors are something that is difficult to define as true or false.
It is easy for people to have different ideas and become a means and tool for villains to fight.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is someone who is good at using rumors.
The fact that the Senju clan was able to gain a foothold in such a short time had a lot to do with the good reputation that Hashirama Senju had built.
When the Five Great Nations were established, they clearly had the power to force other countries to sign unequal treaties, but they chose to resolve the problem through negotiation. This can be considered a favor.
Strength and fame complement each other, which is one of the reasons why Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to become the strongest Hokage.
"It was anticipated and prepared for.
The people who should really care are Konohagakure, not us. The filth in Konohagakure should also be exposed in the ninja world."
Nawaki Senju went from looking indifferent to looking like he was watching a show.
The ninja present had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"We agreed with Kumogakure to reveal the truth about the demise of Uzushiogakure. I didn't expect Kumogakure to be so tolerant." Doma Senju explained.
"Intelligence shows that the troops of Kumogakure have already assembled and are preparing to enter the battlefield. Konohagakure's bargaining chips are useless!"
Nawaki Senju nodded and told the secret.
Konohagakure used the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique as a condition, thinking that it could temporarily delay Kumogakure and bury the truth of the Uzumaki clan's demise.
Now, Kumogakure should have inherited Turtle Island's legacy, and Killer B has become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and is on the road to becoming a perfect Jinchuriki.
Hearing Doma Senju's words, everyone present felt happy.
The Senju clan suffered heavy losses on the battlefield in Uzushiogakure.
Konohagakure will eventually pay the price for its actions.
