Chapter 364: The aftermath of the bond between the Daimyo and the daimyo is broken

"What?"

"Those old guys of the Senju clan disbanded the Senju clan? Even Tsunade agreed? "

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed to the Senju base.

The various ninja clans in Konoha also received the notice from the Senju clan one after another.

Among these people, the first to get the news was undoubtedly Danzo, who still controlled the authority of the Root.

In the Shimura clan, Danzo listened to the report of the root members, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At the beginning, he subconsciously thought that this was a retreat by a few old guys of the Senju clan, to force Sarutobi Hiruzen to deal with him.

But... until Danzo learned that the Senju clan, except Tsunade, had abandoned the Senju. In the name of the Senju clan, he packed his bags and moved out of the Senju clan.

Danzo finally confirmed that the disbandment of the Senju clan was true.

After a short silence, in the dim light, Danzo's eyes suddenly burst into a blazing light.

The disbandment of the Senju clan means that Tsunade has lost... the greatest support.

To a certain extent, this unintentional move allowed him to eliminate a potential competitor for the position of the Fourth Hokage in advance.

"I know, pass the order... Let the Root be more obedient recently, and don't appear too much in the village and in the sight of the Anbu. "

According to his understanding of that buddy, once the dissolution of the Senju clan is settled, that buddy will definitely come back to trouble him with his guilt towards Tsunade and the Senju clan.

So, for now...keeping a low profile is the most correct choice for him...as long as he can get through this period of time.

...

Uchiha clan land.

When the news of the dissolution of the Senju clan spread, the entire Uchiha clan fell into an unprecedented carnival.

As families connected by fate, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have spread for countless years in the distant Warring States period. Years of hatred.

Even though Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama joined forces to establish Konoha, ushered in an era of one country and one village, and eliminated the fighting between the major ninja clans in the Land of Fire, this hatred has not dissipated.

Especially after Uchiha Madara defected and "died", because of the existence of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, everything... could only be buried in the bottom of the heart.

At present, this big stone has finally collapsed completely under the calculations and mutual protection of the Konoha high-level officials.

From today on, the title of Konoha's first noble family will be completely changed from Senju... to Uchiha clan.

"Hey~ I say you, don't be too happy too early!"

"Even the Senju clan, which produced the first and second generations of Hokage, can fall to this... Such a miserable state."

"Do you think that the Konoha high-level officials who have always been vigilant against our Uchiha clan will focus on where after the disappearance of the Senju clan?"

"Hinata? Or my Uchiha clan? "

There are many wise people among the Uchiha clan's high-ranking officials. Through the disbandment of the Senju clan, they saw a more distant future.'s future.

The Hatake clan, the Hyuga clan, the Sunset clan... no matter whether they are in opposition or close to the Senju clan.

In short, at this moment... the top leaders of each ninja clan gathered together tacitly.

Some discussed how to deal with the turmoil caused by the dissolution of the Senju clan.

Some... aimed at the power and interests that would be vacated after the dissolution of the Senju clan.

...

"Tsunade... Tsunade!"

As soon as he stepped into the Senju clan's territory, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw a busy scene.

Countless Senju clan members, with their families, were carrying their gifts.

Looking at those indifferent figures, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his heart tighten and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the Senju clan's territory.

"So it's Hokage-sama, are you here to look for Tsunade?"

"But you're late. Not long ago... Tsunade just left here and went to the front line of the Rain Country."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's call, several elders of the Senju clan, no... it should be said that several old men who have abandoned the name of Senju, slowly walked out.

"Elder Hiruya..."

"Hokage-sama, I'm no longer an elder. The Senju clan... now only Tsunade is left to bear the name of the Senju of the Forest."

"My name is Kujo Hiruya now, Hokage-sama, just call me Kujo."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's changing expression, Senju Hiruya... no, Kujo Hiruya, and several old guys beside him, just felt a sense of comfort in their hearts.

Yesterday, they were disgusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and today... they were finally disgusted back.

"Okay, then I'll call you Kujo for now!"

"Isn't it too impulsive to disband the Senju clan?"

"The prosperity of the village cannot be separated from the Senju clan..."

"If it's because of that incident, I can make compensation. You can ask for anything."

"Moreover, I can assure you in the name of the Hokage that such a thing will never happen again in the future."

Whispering, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was a bit pleading.

The disbanding of the Senju clan is not as simple as a sentence.

Not to mention the disbanding of the Senju clan, the vacant power will cause a fight among many ninja clans, many jonins, and elite jonins in Konoha.

The turmoil caused by this incident alone is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.

Iwagakure Village, Sand Village, Kumogakure Village, Mist Village...big and small ninja villages, openly or secretly, may make some small moves to brew more crises.

Moreover... the disbanding of the Senju clan also means that Konoha will lose the political bond of trust with the Fire Country Daimyo and officials.

At that time, he will inevitably face the pressure from the Fire Country officials, and even question his ability to govern.

Of course, for him, what is more important is... after this incident, how will the ninjas of Konoha, and even the civilians, view him?

No matter how he explains, he cannot avoid... he, the third generation shadow of Konoha, will be nailed to the history of Konoha because of this incident.

"Hehe~~~"

"Hokage-sama, it's too late to say anything now."

"We still have things to deal with, so we'll leave for now..."

In the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen's solemn promise, Kujo Hiruya and others didn't even move their eyes.

Obviously, the trust in Sarutobi Hiruzen has completely dissipated.

"Elder Hiruya..."

Looking at the backs of Kujo Hiruya and others leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen called out softly... I just felt particularly blocked in my heart.

It's too late... It's really too late~

...

"Is he... gone?"

Deep in the courtyard, under the gaze of Kujo Hikari and others, Tsunade slowly walked out, her expression somewhat indifferent.

Although after a night of struggle, she has accepted the fact that the Senju clan has disbanded.

But... after a series of blows, it will probably take a long time... even several years of cultivation to restore the mentality of the past.
