Chapter 53

As a grandfather, he had to come and take a look.

As for.

The Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Kurama clans.

They are at most medium-sized clans. Coming to the Forest Senju compound to spend the New Year together, the meaning behind it is very obvious.

They have decided 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 Konoha Village present a situation of one super and two strong.

Among them, 'one super' refers to the Forest Senju, and 'two strong' refers to the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan.

And other clans, including the Sarutobi and Shimura, are only at a medium level.

If you want the clan to develop rapidly, you need to place your bets in advance.

Nowadays.

The young girls in their clans.

Are pregnant with the offspring of the Forest Senju; this is the future bond between the two sides.

"Lord Xingye."

"This is the wish offered by our Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Kurama clans."

"We hope to become vassal clans of the Forest Senju, please agree."

"......."

The three clan heads.

Knelt half-way before Senju Xingye, lowering their heads to show submission.

They are not fools; they can see clearly whose strength is strong and whose is weak in the current situation.

Facing the economy and military power.

Of the Forest Senju, who are almost in an absolute dominant position.

If they don't surrender quickly now, even if they offer themselves later, the Forest Senju probably won't even look at them. Showing loyalty must be done early and quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"Once some decisions are made, there is no turning back."

"At that time, the attitude of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, toward you will change, you know."

"......."

Hearing their request.

Senju Xingye did not agree immediately, but asked in return.

Although they are only three medium-sized clans, without any Kage-level existences, and the strongest are only a few Elite Jonin, their number of Chunin is quite large. Compared to civilian ninjas who are generally Genin, they fill in a part of the mid-level combat power.

It is just that.

Every decision made by a clan head.

Will affect the prosperity or decline of a clan, so Senju Xingye hopes they will 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 becoming a large clan and develop vigorously.

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 considered it clearly."

"Even if we fail, we will not regret it!"

"Please, Lord Xingye, agree to our surrender; we will definitely fight for the glory of the Senju!"

"......"

Almost without the slightest hesitation.

The heads of the three clans said in unison.

Such things.

Naturally, they have been thought through carefully.

Since they have made up their minds, they must go all the way to the end, with no turning back.

Otherwise, they won't be able to get any favors from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and they won't be able to get any favors from Senju Xingye either. No matter who wins in the end, it will be a situation where they please neither side.

"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 Xingye said indifferently.

The three clan heads also raised their wine cups and drank them down without hesitation.

This cup of surrender wine.

Has no contractual constraints.

It is purely a process of morality.

However.

For Senju Xingye.

He doesn't need such things at all; the strength of the Forest Senju is already strong!

Senju Xingye, Senju Tsunade, Uzumaki Kushina (Nine-Tails Jinchuriki), and Kakuzu, even without counting Namikaze Minato, who is in a dilemma, already possess four Kage-level combat powers, which is above the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

The other side's advantage is only 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 will also be gradually reduced because of the war, and eventually, there will only be the election of the Fourth Hokage!

To be able to take over power peacefully.

Senju Xingye naturally does not intend to come hard directly and find trouble for himself.

After all, taking over the position of Hokage now can only be done by seizing power through force. Not only is the internal consumption very large, but he will also have to face the siege of the four major ninja villages, which is a lot of trouble and is completely a behavior that does more harm than good.

Develop stealthily.

Wait for the right time and place!

This is Senju Xingye's current development policy.
