"I'm the smartest person in the Shinobi World"

A few days later, at the main gate of Konoha.

"Onii-san~" Nagisa moved her short legs with difficulty, waving her chubby hands, trying to attract her older brother's attention.

"Oh, what an adorable child." Before the older brother could arrive, a strange older woman picked her up first.

Princess Eri's eyes turned into little hearts as she looked at the soft and adorable Uchiha Nagisa.

(๑°⌓°๑)?

Clearly, Uchiha Nagisa was a little unhappy that he didn't get a hug from his older brother.

She glanced at her unfamiliar older sister, then at her father who was slowly approaching, opened her mouth, and unleashed Sound Release attack with a whoosh.

Wow!

The Little Cutie's cries left Anzai Eri quite helpless.

I'm clearly very pretty, and kids usually like me a lot, so why has all my charm vanished today?

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly saw Yuto walking over. Strangely enough, the Little Cutie stopped crying as soon as she snuggled into her brother's arms.

"I see..." Anzai Eri seemed to understand something.

They glanced at the smug Little Cutie, their eyes met, and it was as if invisible Hanabi flew in the air.

"Daddy~" Nagisa, whose mood had shifted from sunny to partly cloudy, didn't forget to greet Kyosuke, who wasn't receiving much attention.

However, it seems she cares more about the gift her father gave her.

Kyosuke gently patted the chubby little hand that was stretched out in front of him, took out an exquisite gift box, and placed it in the little guy's palm.

"I always feel like I've become a tool," the God of Shinobi thought.

It must be said that Kyosuke's self-assessment has always been quite accurate.

Mito didn't come to greet us; she's probably cooking at home.

Not wanting to delay any longer, Kyosuke picked up both children with one hand and held Princess Eri's hand with the other.

"Let's go home."

In a flash, the four of them disappeared from the main gate of Konoha.

Konoha, the Senju Clan.

"He's back." Tobirama picked up a teacup and placed it in front of the woman.

In the entire Konoha, there weren't many people he could serve tea and water to, and even fewer women.

However, in his opinion, the woman in front of him certainly deserved it.

Both their status and the strength they displayed were enough to earn his complete respect.

"It's good that you're back." Yayoi nodded, a deep-seated hatred flashing in her eyes.

"The hatred for killing my master is irreconcilable. I will definitely confront him tomorrow and demand an explanation."

"In that case, I'll arrange the challenge." Tobirama smiled to himself, feeling quite pleased with his own strategic planning.

In his opinion, Yayoi was probably no match for Uchiha Kyosuke.

Even if someone's Tenseigan awakening surpasses that of Tennin, does that mean their power won't improve?

This battle was not about winning; his true intention was to completely sever the connection between the Hyuga and Uchiha.

After their Clan Leader suffered a crushing defeat in front of everyone, any Hyuga with a modicum of backbone would want to defeat the Uchiha.

Joint?

That's simply impossible.

This was Tobirama's true purpose; what Yayoi actually thought was completely unimportant.

With the alliance with the Uchiha severed, her only option was to side with the Senju.

Otherwise, would the Hyuga Clan dare to survive in the cracks between the two opposing clans?

If she continues to act so recklessly, only destruction awaits her in the future.

Yayoi Hyuga is a smart person, Tobirama believes that she will make a decision in her heart.

"This is an open conspiracy, there's no way to break it." Little Six took a deep breath, a sense of satisfaction from intellectually crushing the opponent welling up inside him.

So what if you're powerful? You still have to drink my foot bath water.

I, Tobirama Senju, am the most cunning strategist in the Shinobi World.

After discussing matters concerning the public challenge, Yayoi Hyuga was the first to take her leave.

After she left, a figure suddenly appeared inside the house.

"You've come."

I shouldn't have come.

But you still came.

"You sent me."

No, it was your heart that led you to me.

Setting down his teacup, Tobirama turned to face the increasingly terrifying man, the Sanbugyo.

"In tomorrow's battle, the Hyuga Clan Leader only has a 30% chance of winning."

"She lost; the reputation she has built up over the years will be ruined in an instant."

Upon hearing this, the Sanbugyo's lips twitched, as if they were trying to express some emotion through their expressions.

However, his unusual behavior was fleeting and did not alert Tobirama to anything amiss.

"Is that all you wanted to say?" he asked.

"Help me defeat the Uchiha." Tobirama solemnly promised, "Complete my conditions, Senju Clan will do everything in its power to help you become a match for the Yayoi Clan Leader."

"... I just want to quietly watch over her; I have no other thoughts."

"Ha, the most foolish thing in the world is to deceive oneself."

Tobirama fiddled with the teacup in his hand Tobirama spoke calmly, "Clan Leader Yayoi is beautiful and holds an extraordinary position; countless men covet her."

"Speaking of which, Madara Uchiha isn't young anymore. I wonder what kind of woman would be worthy of him."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression finally changed.

In fact, no one knew better than him that Yayoi was actually in Uchiha.

Seeing this person's air of complete control, Sanbugyo almost burst out laughing.

He also wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of expression Tobirama Senju would make when he learned the truth.

However, the other party's words were not entirely useless.

Just as Tobirama said, with his own status, he was simply not worthy of Yayoi position was rising ever higher.

If you want to fulfill your greatest wish, borrowing the power of the Senju seems like a good idea.

At worst, once Yayoi tears off her disguise, I'll just kick Senju away myself.

By then, he will have gained fame, status, and power. Given his relationship with Yayoi, he will have no need to fear any retaliation from the Senju.

"That's settled then..." Sanbugyo's eyes changed, and he suddenly appeared sharp and assertive. "Then it's a deal. What do I need to do tomorrow?"

"No rush." Seeing that there was a chance to succeed, Tobirama calmed down. "Tomorrow's battle will focus on leveraging existing momentum."

"Leveraging trends?"

"That's right, by leveraging the hype surrounding the decisive battle, we'll elevate you to the ranks of Konoha's fifth-ranked super-strongest."

The fifth super strong person... Sanbugyo a deep breath, his eyes revealing an unknown determination.

If I succeed, won't I be a little closer to her?

As for facing Kyosuke, the Sanbugyo had no psychological burden whatsoever.

He had already fulfilled his promise and had no further connection with the other party.

Even if he does side with the Senju, that's his personal choice.

"The only remaining question..." Tobirama stared at the man, his eyes sharp, and said, "Are you truly capable of bearing such a reputation?"

"I will win." Sanbugyo looked up at the night sky, and the image of his beloved woman seemed to quietly appear before his eyes.

"At any cost."
