After everything was settled, Uzumaki Jun left Uzumaki Mito's place with a smile. As for what he obtained...
One was the Yin Seal!!
Uzumaki Jun did not find this jutsu in the Uzumaki clan's jutsu scrolls. He guessed it was a jutsu Uzumaki Mito developed herself, just like the Mind's Eye of the Kagura...
Probably developed by that obsessed woman!!
This thing could be used as a power bank. It would definitely be very important for future jutsu technology development.
Of course, another reason for exchanging things with Uzumaki Mito instead of directly asking was to show that Uzushiogakure and Uzumaki Mito were no longer inseparable. It represented that Uzumaki Mito was on Konoha's side and did not harm Konoha's interests.
The other jutsu was the Telescope Technique developed by Sarutobi Hiruzen for peeping...cough, for patrolling the village...
This was clearly a wireless surveillance device!!
After some modifications, it could probably be used as city surveillance!!
After seeing Uzumaki Jun out of Uzumaki Mito's small courtyard, the maid left because...
The Senju clan head wanted to meet Uzumaki Jun.
Uzumaki Jun narrowed his eyes as he followed the Senju clan ninja. He guessed the Senju clan wanted to talk to him about immigration. However...
The Senju clan would not immigrate so easily. Even if the clan head agreed, their elders and higher-ups would not agree. After all, this village was founded by Senju Hashirama. They loved this village deeply...
They were even willing to dedicate their lives to Konoha...
Just like the Uchiha clan back then. Fugaku had already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but still did not dare to use it. Although he did not stop his clansmen from clamoring to seize power, in the end, he did not harm Konoha and willingly died by his son's hand.
Uzumaki Jun guessed Fugaku already knew it was no longer a matter of stopping it...
Back then, becoming the police force was the Hokage's order. Now the villagers blamed the Uchiha, but no one from above stepped in to stop it. Instead, they added fuel to the fire, making people fear the Uchiha clan emblem - the fan...
So Fugaku already knew the Uchiha would be destroyed. To prevent the village from being harmed, he silently endured everything and led the entire clan to their deaths!!
Thus...
These two clans that founded the village, the clans that loved the village the most, were actually killed by their own people!!
Even if all the Senju clansmen agreed, Konoha would not agree...
At that time, Konoha might use this as a reason to fight Uzushiogakure to the death!!
Without absolute strength, some things could only be done secretly...
"Clan head, Lord Jun has arrived," the Senju ninja led Uzumaki Jun inside and said to the middle-aged man standing with his back to them.
"Mm, you may leave," the Senju clan head said lightly without turning around.
"Yes!" The Senju ninja replied.
Meanwhile, Uzumaki Jun watched the Senju clan head with interest. Black long hair!!
Just like the Yuki clan, black long hair!!
"Senju clan head!" Uzumaki Jun said with a smile.
"Call me Uncle Toshiki," Senju Toshiki said with a smile. "And I'll call you Jun."
Uzumaki Jun shrugged. Strictly speaking, Senju Toshiki was his elder. He said, "Uncle Toshiki!"
Uncle...
Senju Toshiki ignored Uzumaki Jun's address and put on a serious expression. "I've read the letter you had Shukuma deliver to me. But..."
"Why do you think the Senju clan would leave the village founded by the Senju clan?"
Why?
Of course because you'll die!!
Uzumaki Jun rolled his eyes. He couldn't say this reason now. Cursing a clan's destruction for no reason would only earn hatred!!
"The Senju clan isn't doing well now, right?" Uzumaki Jun sighed. When he came, he had already investigated. The Senju clan had been having trouble recently. Although the incidents weren't serious...
It was damaging the Senju clan's dignity!!
Just like when Tobirama became Hokage and removed the Uchiha clan from the center of power, forbidding them from participating in Hokage elections...
It was just to suppress the clans in the village!!
Evil chakra, extreme personalities...
These were just excuses. Tobirama probably still held a grudge against Madara for trying to kill him. So after everyone died and he became Hokage, he dared to take revenge!!
Back when Madara's brother died, he still calmly cooperated with Hashirama. If not for later when Madara saw how foolish Hashirama was and lost hope for peace, would he have faked his death and defected??
No way!!
When Madara was young, he even helped a little girl who fell in the village. If his face was too scary and frightened the little girl, the heartthrob back then wouldn't have been Hashirama!!
So except for a few who could smile, the Uchiha clan was mostly expressionless!!
Of course, due to Tobirama's policies, the Uchiha initially reached the peak of power but were kept away from the center of authority. Slowly, they were smeared...
In the future, they would be in an awkward position.
Until those above decided it was time to harvest, then they would act!!
What a clever move!!!
"Sigh." Senju Toshiki did not say anything, only sighing lightly. Recently, things had indeed been difficult. Those above wanted to force the Senju clan to back down to reduce their prestige. But...
The Senju clan founded Konoha, held two Hokage positions, and the Third was Senju Tobirama's student. So how could the Senju clan's prestige be so easily reduced??
And...
Sacrificing clansmen to shift blame, the Senju clan would not do it. Back in the Warring States Period, the Senju clan fought the Uchiha clan but never thought of sacrificing their own for peace, let alone now. Back then, his father told Hashirama to kill Tobirama or commit suicide...
But his father did not betray his brother for peace. He chose to kill himself!!
As the Senju clan head, how could he sacrifice his own clansmen?
"No matter what..."
"The Senju are Konoha's Senju!!"
Senju Toshiki sighed.
"..."
You're really ending the conversation here.
Uzumaki Jun had a headache looking at them. Why were they so stubborn??
Did they think Konoha's higher-ups were kind, or that Konoha's higher-ups couldn't wield a blade? The clan was destroyed, couldn't they just live somewhere else?
Even if there were pursuers at first, as long as they escaped and some survived, they could continue to thrive. Why??
And even if you wanted to join Uzushiogakure now, Uzumaki Jun wouldn't dare to accept you!!
He was only here for...
Senju Shukuma and those few Senju who went to support them. Since they were being forced to death anyway, why not just become missing-nin and go to Uzushiogakure to shine?
"Then why did Uncle Toshiki call me here?" Uzumaki Jun asked, feeling a toothache. Was it just to clearly tell him, 'The Senju clan won't elope with you, give up!!'
He only wanted a few missing-nin. Even if the whole clan wanted to join Uzushiogakure, he would be afraid of provoking Konoha!!
However...
"The Senju clan will absolutely not betray Konoha under normal circumstances," Senju Toshiki said seriously, staring at Uzumaki Jun.
"..."
So that's how it is!!
Uzumaki Jun nodded in understanding. Under normal circumstances...meaning abnormal circumstances would be fine!
"Then can you introduce me to the Uchiha clan??"
"..."
Senju Toshiki was stunned. This kid's appetite was so big??
Recruiting both major clans, wasn't he afraid Konoha would settle accounts with him??
Or did the Uzumaki clan have the ability to resist the strongest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages? And...
Don't joke around. Although the Senju and Uchiha relations eased when Konoha was founded, after Tobirama...
If he sent someone, the Uchiha might just kill them without listening!
So...
"Are you joking?" Senju Toshiki asked in surprise.
"No, I just need someone to show me the way."
"..." Senju Toshiki shook his head helplessly. "Fine then!!"
He didn't know if his decision was right. With such a big appetite, be careful not to choke!!
But...
"Bun, take this guest to the Uchiha clan!"
"Thank you, Uncle Toshiki!!" Uzumaki Jun stood up with a smile. "I'll go recruit people now."
Senju Toshiki watched Uzumaki Jun leave helplessly. "That brat!!"
He looked down at where Uzumaki Jun had been sitting. Under the cushion was a black ring...
A kunai!!!
"Not as foolish as a seven-year-old should be!!"
