"Protecting your Senju Clan..."
"That's too troublesome. Why not have everyone in the Senju Clan move directly into the Uchiha Clan's territory?"
Facing Goketsu Senju's proposal, Bai Ye thought for a moment before speaking directly.
"What!? Move into the Uchiha Clan? No..."
Goketsu Senju rejected it without even thinking.
"What, are you afraid our Uchiha Clan won't have room for you?"
"Don't worry. Our Uchiha Clan has plenty of places to live..."
"Accommodating the Senju Clan will absolutely not be a problem..."
"As for the Senju Clan's assets, our Uchiha Clan can help you manage them..."
Bai Ye assured him.
The Senju Clan had now declined, with only a few dozen people remaining.
It would be no problem at all for the Uchiha Clan to accommodate them.
"No... absolutely not..."
Goketsu Senju still objected.
"What? You can't bear to part with the Senju Clan's property?"
Bai Ye could not help but say.
"No... if you want the Senju Clan's assets, you can have all of them..."
"But if you do this, you'll become the target of Konoha. All the clans will attack your Uchiha Clan..."
Goketsu Senju said helplessly.
He truly did not place much importance on the Senju Clan's assets.
As long as the Senju Clan could continue, even giving up all their assets would be worthwhile.
However, Goketsu Senju also knew very well that if the entire Senju Clan really moved into the Uchiha Clan, and the Uchiha Clan took over all of the Senju Clan's assets...
The ninja clans led by Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely become envious and make trouble for the Uchiha Clan.
At that point, the Uchiha Clan would become everyone's target, and things would be difficult to handle.
"Haha, what's there to fear?"
"If they dare come, then let them come!"
"Our Uchiha Clan fears no challenge..."
Bai Ye said indifferently.
Bai Ye wished those ninja clans would come attack them. That way, he could obtain even more Negative Energy.
"Although your Uchiha Clan's Sharingan is extremely powerful..."
"Your Uchiha Clan still cannot contend against all of Konoha..."
Goketsu Senju could not help but say.
Goketsu Senju had only come to the Uchiha Clan seeking protection. He had never expected Bai Ye to be so aggressive that he intended to confront all of Konoha.
Goketsu Senju also admitted that the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan bloodline limit was extremely powerful.
But he did not believe the Uchiha Clan alone could stand against all of Konoha.
"Hehe, then I wonder whether the Mangekyō Sharingan can stand against all of Konoha..."
As Bai Ye's voice fell, his eyes turned red, and three tomoe spun rapidly within them.
Soon, the three tomoe fused together, transforming into a unique pattern.
"Mangekyō Sharingan!? How is that possible!?"
"You actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!?"
Seeing Bai Ye's eyes, Goketsu Senju shot to his feet, staring at Bai Ye with an incredulous expression.
As a ninja who had lived through the Warring States Period, Goketsu Senju had witnessed the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Especially the Mangekyō awakened by the brothers Uchiha Madara and Izuna Uchiha.
To the Senju Clan, they had simply been a disaster.
That terrifying power was not something ordinary ninja could resist.
Many members of the Senju Clan had once died at their hands.
The only power capable of opposing the Mangekyō Sharingan was Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.
Originally, with the deaths of Uchiha Madara and Izuna Uchiha, the Mangekyō Sharingan had disappeared.
Yet he had never expected to see the Mangekyō Sharingan again.
"The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan... I truly never expected that, after several decades, the Uchiha Clan would produce another Mangekyō Sharingan..."
Goketsu Senju said with emotion.
The Uchiha Clan had once again produced a Mangekyō Sharingan, but where was the Senju Clan's Wood Release?
The Senju Clan had truly declined.
"All right, you can go back now..."
"Tomorrow, our Uchiha Clan will help your Senju Clan relocate..."
Bai Ye looked at Goketsu Senju and directly dismissed him.
Hearing Bai Ye's words, Goketsu Senju said nothing more and walked away.
"I never expected the Senju Clan to come seek cooperation with our Uchiha Clan..."
"How interesting..."
"I wonder how Hiruzen Sarutobi will respond tomorrow..."
Watching Goketsu Senju depart into the distance, Bai Ye said with a smile.
The reason Bai Ye had agreed to Goketsu Senju's proposal was not only because he valued the Senju Clan's assets.
More importantly, Bai Ye wanted to provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Konoha higher-ups.
He wondered whether they would become furious, whether they would get angry.
The angrier they became, the more Negative Energy Bai Ye would gain, and the more excited he would be.
After leaving the Uchiha Clan's territory, Goketsu Senju stopped and turned back to look at the Uchiha Clan's compound.
"I hope my choice is not wrong..."
"This is all for the Senju Clan..."
Goketsu Senju's desolate figure hurried toward the Senju Clan's territory.
The next day, early in the morning.
Under Bai Ye's orders, every member of the Security Force assembled.
"Lord Bai Ye, what action are we taking today?"
Uchiha En came before Bai Ye and asked eagerly.
Uchiha En knew very well that Bai Ye would not have assembled the Security Force without a major operation in mind.
"Mm... everyone, come with me to the Senju Clan..."
"We're taking over all of the Senju Clan's assets..."
Bai Ye looked at Uchiha En and said.
"Taking over the Senju Clan's assets!? Really!?"
"Will the Senju Clan agree to that?"
Hearing Bai Ye's words, Uchiha En was stunned.
"The Senju Clan has already declined..."
"Rather than letting those assets sit unused, they might as well hand them over to our Uchiha Clan..."
"As for the Senju Clan, they will agree..."
Bai Ye spoke with absolute certainty.
"Lord Bai Ye, I understand..."
"Security Force, follow me! We're taking over the Senju Clan's assets..."
After hearing Bai Ye's words, Uchiha En asked no further questions. He led the Security Force members to begin taking over the Senju Clan's assets throughout Konoha.
Such a large-scale operation by the Security Force quickly drew the Anbu's attention.
"Lord Hokage, this is bad..."
"The entire Security Force has mobilized..."
An Anbu member appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi and hurriedly reported.
"The entire Security Force has mobilized!? What are they trying to do!?"
Hearing this news, Hiruzen Sarutobi was greatly alarmed.
The Security Force was now completely under the Uchiha Clan's control, and its strength had increased enormously.
The Security Force's current strength was no weaker than the Anbu's.
During this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had constantly been thinking of ways to weaken the Security Force.
But he had never found a good solution.
That was why he was so shocked upon hearing that the entire Security Force had mobilized.
Could it be that the Uchiha Clan was planning a coup?
