At this moment, it would be no exaggeration to describe Konoha as a place rife with undercurrents.
Many powerful figures with keen senses had vaguely sensed the unusual movements of the Senju.
Little Six could bribe the Uchiha, then Izuna could naturally bribe members of the Senju Clan as well.
"Next month's 10th, there's only a little over a week left."
As night fell, the Uchiha meeting room was brightly lit, with Izuna, Cho, Yuto, and Nagisa, the four leaders, prominently displayed.
"Hahaha." Izuna laughed heartily, "Tobirama, you've finally met your match."
Xiao Liu had already misjudged Uchiha Durant once, but unexpectedly, he repeated the same mistake, placing his hopes for a coup on the young Nawaki.
No matter how strong one is, a boy is still a boy.
The price of immaturity is that one is easily swayed by others.
It was only at this moment that Yuto and Izuna realized that the Senju Clan's renowned young genius was actually a pawn being groomed by Yayoi.
"Using the future hope of the Senju to completely destroy the Family, tsk tsk, what a vicious plan."
"Lord Kyosuke said that this is the Senju Clan's just deserts."
Why do you say that?
"I don't know either."
Kyosuke's thoughts were always unfathomable, so Izuna stopped worrying about it.
The current problem is how to deal with the Senju of the Forest, who intend to rebel.
If Tobirama dared to release the news ahead Tobirama time, he wasn't afraid that the Hokage faction would find out.
Or rather, this thing simply cannot be hidden.
Even without spies sending messages, the slightest movement would immediately cause a high level of tension in the village.
Unfortunately, everyone underestimated the Senju of the Forest.
The force that once rivaled the Uchiha may have declined, but even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse.
In Konoha, they still hold a position of great power and influence.
Sarutobi, Shimura, and the Ino-Shika-Cho are the forces that openly side with the government, but who knows how much more power they secretly possess.
Suppression?
To put it simply, as the saying goes, "a single move can affect the whole situation," and reckless action can only result in a full-scale civil war.
If they were to act prematurely, the Senju could easily turn the tables and accuse the Hokage's faction of planning to annihilate the Senju.
This move was practically a blatant message to the Hokage faction. "I'm going to rebel, so come and get me if you dare!"
If they really take action, it will definitely cause a huge uproar afterwards.
As for the truth of the matter, at that time, no matter what the higher-ups said, the outside world would not believe it.
People will only say that the Uchiha was intolerant and wantonly harmed the meritorious Family that founded Konoha.
If the hearts of the people are lost, the only thing waiting for Uchiha Yuto is to resign and take responsibility; otherwise, the title of "Hokage" will lose the trust of the villagers.
One can only say that he truly lives up to his name, Little Six; his mastery of cunning is unparalleled.
He managed to turn the tide of this passive situation, and now all the pressure is on the Uchiha.
Unfortunately, he probably never dreamed that the one who actually made the move wasn't the Uchiha.
Rather, it was the boy he saw as his hope.
In the dead of night, a piercing scream tore through the night sky.
The once tranquil Senju Compound was instantly thrown into chaos, the thick stench of blood alerting everyone that something was wrong.
"Uchiha mad?" Tobirama, somewhat surprised.
He couldn't understand why the Uchiha, who had the upper hand, would risk ruining their reputation by rushing to storm the Senju Compound.
Unless...
"They've come up with a way to break this deadlock." Little Six's eyes were somewhat gloomy.
Only in this way can the Uchiha's strange behavior be explained.
As for whether the enemy can succeed, what a joke! If they could succeed so easily, they wouldn't be the fearsome Senju of the Forest.
Wood Release: Birth of the Tree World!
Just as they were preparing to organize a counterattack, suddenly, an overwhelming Tree Sea enveloped the entire Family.
"What exactly is this...?"
The power of Wood Release is incredibly domineering, especially when facing opponents weaker than oneself, making it a top-tier killing move for mowing down enemies.
At this moment, they unleashed their full power, completely stunning the members of the Senju Clan.
Most importantly, why would Wood Release target friendly forces?!
"Oh, my legs!"
"Damn it, why is the enemy using Wood Release?"
"Wait, this Chakra..."
Soon, the ninja, skilled in sensory abilities, locked his gaze on the masked figure in the hazy moonlight.
Physical form can be disguised, and appearance can be concealed, but a boy's Chakra cannot be altered.
"A rope, Nawaki?!" Many people were dumbfounded.
At the top of the tree, the Nawaki remained silent, as if it had not heard the questions and curses from its people.
His gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on his Second Grandpa, Tobirama Senju, whose face was filled with disbelief.
"Why, why did you betray the Family?!" At this moment, Tobirama Senju felt as if he had returned to the day his father died.
That feeling of helplessness that rises from the bottom of my heart, it's been so long since I've felt that way.
He truly couldn't understand why his elder brother's grandson would betray the Senju.
Didn't you say your dream was to become Hokage?
I'm doing everything I can to help you achieve your dreams.
"No, all you've ever thought about is your Family." Nawaki's gaze was resolute.
Now that things have come to this, how could he back down because of a few questions?
No matter what happens, the Senju Clan will face destruction today.
No one, no matter who, can disrupt the peace of Konoha.
Nobody will do!!!
Looking at that unfamiliar figure, Tobirama's eyes flashed with very complex emotions.
Regret, anger, pain, pity, sarcasm... the emotions were so complex that outsiders simply could not comprehend them.
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't care about anyone's betrayal, anyway, the Senju Dead End has long been at its end.
Rather than being slowly devoured by the Uchiha in the future, it's better to take advantage of the remaining strength and launch a desperate counterattack.
Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!
The prepared Impure World Reincarnation body instantly emerged from the ground.
After so many years of research, Tobirama has also made significant progress, at least enabling him to unleash 60% of the strength of a powerful individual in life.
With an unlimited supply of equipment, he is not afraid of engaging in a war of attrition with anyone.
"Oh ho, you're still using such disgusting Ninjutsu." A familiar voice came from above.
The Senju members looked up and saw the man standing with his hands behind his back in the Tsuki. It was none other than Uchiha Izuna, the Uchiha Clan Head who had not appeared for a long time.
He and Tobirama are old rivals. There are still unresolved grudges between them.
I was too careless last time; I never expected Little Six's Flying Thunder God to improve so quickly.
In this encounter, Izuna vowed to avenge his previous defeat.
"You're still alive?" Tobirama said in Tobirama, "It's alright, I'll personally send you to see that dead brother."
These words instantly provoked Izuna.
A dark green light shot into the sky, and the Perfect Susanoo descended upon the world.
More than 30 years later, the battle between Izuna and Tobirama has begun again.
