Chapter 26: The surrender of the three major clans! Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's development plan!
Chapter: The surrender of the three major clans! Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's development plan! (Asking for flowers)
Since Niu and Luffy.
Each began to awaken their own talents, half a month had passed.
The forty-seventh year of Konoha also quietly passed.
Time.
Arrived at the fortieth year of Konoha.
With the arrival of the new year, every household began to prepare, cleaning their homes inside and out, and hanging a rope at the family entrance, which was said to be used to drive away ghosts and monsters.
Last year.
The Forest Senju compound.
Had only Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye and Tsunade Senju, appearing cold and desolate.
But this year, with Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye taking wives and concubines, as well as the births of Niu Senju, Luffy Senju, and Senju Senju Liya Senju, it became quite popular.
"Boss, guests have arrived."
"Hmm, guests from afar are guests; let them enter the banquet together."
Perhaps.
Because of the marriage alliance.
This year, the Forest Senju compound, in addition to Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye and the others.
Also welcomed the heads and members of other clans.
The Great Elder of the Hyuga clan.
The head of the Inuzuka clan.
The head of the Yamanaka clan.
The head of the Kurama clan.
Among them.
The Hyuga clan, being a large clan, did not send their clan head to come during the New Year.
Only the Great Elder of the Hyuga clan came; after all, Sagiri Hyuga was his most beloved granddaughter, and his own children had all died on the battlefield. She was his only relative, and he was doubly concerned, fearing that she might have some accident or suffer some hardship.
Now.
His granddaughter was pregnant. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
As a grandfather, he had to come and take a look.
As for.
The Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Kurama clans.
They were at most medium-sized clans. Coming to the Forest Senju compound to spend the New Year together, the implication was very obvious.
They had already planned to become vassal clans of the Forest Senju.
As the saying goes.
It is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
Nowadays, the clan forces in the Hidden Leaf Village present a situation of one super and two strong.
Among them, 'one super' refers to the Forest Senju, while 'two strong' refers to the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan.
And other clans, including the Sarutobi and Shimura, are only of medium level.
If Itachi want your clan to develop rapidly, Itachi need to place your bets in advance.
Nowadays.
The young women of their clans.
Are pregnant with the heirs of the Forest Senju; this is the bond of the future between the two sides.
"Lord Senju Senju Senju Xingye."
"This is the willingness of our Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Kurama clans."
"We have come together to offer our desire to become vassal clans of the Forest Senju; we hope Itachi will agree."
"......."
The three clan heads.
Knelt on one knee before Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, lowering their heads to show submission.
They were not fools and could clearly see the strength and weakness of the current situation.
Facing the economic and military power.
Of the Forest Senju, which was almost in an absolute superior position.
If they didn't surrender quickly now, even if they offered themselves later, it is estimated that the Forest Senju wouldn't even look at them. Showing loyalty must be done as early as possible.
"Are Itachi sure?"
"Some decisions, once made, have no turning back."
"At that time, the attitude of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, toward Itachi will change, Itachi know."
"......."
Hearing their request.
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye did not agree immediately, but asked in return.
Although they were only three medium-sized clans without any Kage-level existences, and the strongest were only a few elite Jonin, their number of Chunin was quite large. Compared to civilian ninjas who were generally Genin, they filled in a part of the mid-level combat power.
It is just that.
Every decision made by a clan head.
Would affect the rise and fall of a clan, so Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye hoped they would consider it clearly before speaking.
If the Forest Senju wins, they will naturally be able to benefit, and in the future, they might be able to leap into a large clan and flourish.
If the Third Hokage wins, as vassal clans of the Forest Senju, they will be the first to be liquidated. At that time, they might fall from grace, drop to a small clan, or even be completely destroyed.
"We have already considered it clearly."
"Even if we fail, we will not regret it!"
"Please, Lord Senju Senju Senju Xingye, agree to our surrender; we will surely fight for the glory of the Forest Senju!"
"......"
Almost without the slightest hesitation.
The heads of the three clans said in unison.
Such matters.
Were naturally considered thoroughly.
Since they had made up their minds, they must go all the way to the end; there was no turning back.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get any favors from the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, nor would they get any favors from Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye. In the future, no matter who won the final victory, it would be a situation where they pleased no one.
"Very well——"
"Drink this cup of surrender wine."
"I recognize your Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Kurama clans as vassal clans of my Forest Senju."
Raising the wine cup in his hand high, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye said indifferently.
The three clan heads also raised their wine cups and drank them down without hesitation.
This cup of surrender wine.
Had no contractual constraints.
It was purely a process of morality.
However.
For Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye.
He didn't need such things at all; the strength of the Forest Senju was already powerful!
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, Tsunade Senju, Kushina Uzumaki (Nine-Tails jinchuriki), and Kakuzu—even without counting Minato Namikaze, who was in a difficult position—already possessed four Kage-level combatants, which was above the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
The opponent's advantage was merely the position of Hokage.
And the ability to control the vast majority of ninjas in Konoha, possessing a military advantage.
But.
With the start of the Third Great Ninja War.
This advantage would also be gradually reduced by the war, eventually leading only to the election of the Fourth Hokage!
To be able to take over power peacefully.
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye naturally did not intend to use force directly and create trouble for himself.
After all, taking over the position of Hokage now would only be through seizing power by force, which would not only cause great internal loss but also require facing the siege of the four major ninja villages, creating a pile of troublesome matters; it was completely a case of the loss outweighing the gain.
Develop quietly.
Wait for the right time and place!
This was Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's current development policy.
P.S.: New book uploaded, asking for flowers, tips, monthly tickets, and rating tickets. The support of Itachi readers is the motivation for the author to write more! ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
