"I've only heard of 'big breasts and no brains' before, but I didn't expect people without breasts to be brainless too."
Tamura Hiroshi eyed the young girl with the gaze of an idiot, especially scrutinizing her less-than-curvy chest.
His words were a direct provocation to the girl. No woman could tolerate such sarcasm.
"Clang!"
"Brat, I've tolerated you for a long time!"
The girl drew her Ninja Sword, pointing it directly at the masked youth opposite her, gnashing her teeth in hatred.
Even the best temper couldn't withstand such provocation.
"Sazuko!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly grabbed the girl's wrist. They couldn't start a fight here.
Their mission was to escort the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. They had already reached an agreement with the Uzumaki Clan Head, who would later send someone to personally escort his granddaughter to Konoha.
They couldn't mess this up now. After all, these people were important figures from the Senju Clan, and the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki clan were related by marriage, essentially one entity.
Attacking a direct descendant of the Senju Clan in Uzushio Hidden Village would be an insult to the Uzumaki clan, a major issue.
Their priority now was to secure the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; no detours were allowed.
Tamura Hiroshi crossed his arms, unfazed by the girl's anger.
I'm a direct descendant of the Senju of the Forest now. This is the territory of the Uzumaki Family, our in-laws for generations. Do you dare to make a move?
"You yourself said that the major ninja clans in the village don't want another Hokage from the Senju, so would the Sarutobi and Shimura clans be willing?
You major clans have established the current village leadership, holding numerous important departments and positions. Would you be willing to give up this power and profit?
Even if you were willing, would the Ino-Shika-Cho and other ninja clans who have long been allied with you agree?
Based on our understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would most likely find a talented orphan from the common folk to train as the Fourth Hokage, making them his puppet to continue maintaining your group's interests.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru have a higher chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage than Sister Tsunade.
No, Orochimaru's abilities and personality are too strong; he couldn't be a suitable puppet. It would be more like that idiot Jiraiya, or one of his disciples. It certainly wouldn't be Sister Tsunade.
For Sister Tsunade to rise to power, it would at least have to wait until Hiruzen Sarutobi dies.
You just said to let Sister Tsunade ascend, is your brain as flat as your chest, or are you trying to insult my intelligence?"
Tamura Hiroshi made no attempt to hide his hostility towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and the three people opposite him. This was the stance of their Senju clan.
The few Uzumaki ninjas at the village entrance were a bit bewildered. They hadn't expected to witness such a drama, and the situation in Konoha seemed quite complicated.
"You..."
The girl's chest heaved violently with anger, making her less-than-curvy figure look slightly better.
"Sazuko, their minds are already made up; we can't persuade them. We can only use time to prove their prejudices wrong."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed, speaking with a tone of helplessness, but inwardly, his killing intent surged towards the brat opposite him.
"Let's go!"
Without another word, he glanced at the detestable brat and left with the other two.
Before leaving, the girl still glared hatefully at someone, looking as if she wanted to flay him alive.
Tamura Hiroshi provocatively puffed out his chest, making the girl even angrier.
If Sarutobi Shinnosuke hadn't held her back, she would have drawn her sword and attacked.
He had never seen such a detestable brat!
Watching the departing trio, Tamura Hiroshi turned to the Uzumaki ninjas monitoring them, expressing his displeasure.
"Why can Hiruzen Sarutobi's son enter Uzushio Hidden Village, but we, as representatives of the Senju, are stopped outside? Are you Uzumaki trying to switch allegiances now that the Senju no longer have a Hokage, forming a new marriage alliance with the Sarutobi clan?"
He had originally just wanted to disguise himself as Konoha Anbu to conceal his identity, but now he had no choice but to impersonate someone from the Senju of the Forest.
"Don't speak nonsense. We Uzumaki have extraordinary sensory abilities; we can sense others' chakra. Your chakra is not that of the Senju of the Forest."
A middle-aged ninja said coldly. This was the main reason he chose to stop the four of them outside.
While the previous drama was entertaining, chakra couldn't be faked, especially the chakra of the Senju Clan; he wouldn't misjudge it.
"It seems you've really fallen behind, not even understanding chakra disguise techniques."
Tamura Hiroshi said with a tone of disappointment, then connected with Kaguya Phantom, using it to simulate the chakra originating from Senju Tobirama.
This was an ability he had developed recently from Kaguya Phantom, similar to White Zetsu's impersonation technique. It involved absorbing others' chakra to perfectly mimic it, making it difficult to distinguish.
Although the chakra connection was slightly inconvenient due to being in the mental world, resulting in a weaker effect, it was sufficient to deceive others' senses.
Indeed, after simulating Senju Tobirama's chakra, the middle-aged Uzumaki ninja's expression changed.
He was very familiar with the chakra of the Senju Clan; it was very special and possessed astonishing Life Force. This feeling was undeniable.
"My apologies, I didn't realize it before. Please come in!"
After sensing and confirming multiple times, the middle-aged ninja apologized and invited Tamura Hiroshi and the other three into the village.
Since they were from the Senju Clan, there was no problem.
"This is my first time in Uzushio Hidden Village. I was hoping to look around your village. I've always heard Grandma Mito talk about Uzushio Hidden Village."
Tamura Hiroshi said this as he walked into the village, pretending to be a junior relative of Mito Uzumaki.
As expected, hearing Tamura Hiroshi mention Mito Uzumaki made the Uzumaki Ninja feel much closer to him.
The three Anbu Cloud Ninja exchanged bewildered glances, then silently followed, paying more attention to the brat Lord Dodai had brought.
Although the brat's strength was very weak, he did have his shining points. It was no wonder Lord Dodai valued him.
And so, Tamura Hiroshi successfully infiltrated Uzushio Hidden Village. He was taken around to various places and even entered the shrine where the villagers worshipped the Death God. On both sides of the walls were enshrined many ferocious Death God Masks.
Of course, those three Anbu Ninja were not allowed into such an important place and waited outside.
"Which branch of the Senju clan are you from?"
At this moment, an old man walked in, scrutinizing the Youth who was looking at the Death God Masks.
"Clan Head!"
The middle-aged man who had brought Tamura Hiroshi in quickly bowed. The person who had arrived was their Clan Head and Village Head, Masahiko Uzumaki.
Masahiko Uzumaki waved his hand, signaling them to leave. His gaze never left the Youth.
He had just heard the report, including the verbal exchange at the village entrance. Too much information was revealed within it, but he was suspicious of this child's identity.
Furthermore, his sister's letter hadn't mentioned sending anyone from the Senju clan.
"Strictly speaking, I should be from Tobirama's lineage."
Tamura Hiroshi said this as he removed his mask and then ran a hand through his hair.
His originally black short hair turned white, and he simultaneously simulated Senju Tobirama's Chakra again.
Since he had grown white hair, he naturally had to make good use of it. Before, he had only used Transformation Jutsu for partial changes to hide his identity.
This was a profound application of Transformation Jutsu. The initial Transformation Jutsu required changing the entire body, but if one's Chakra control was sufficient, partial transformation was possible. Not only was the consumption smaller, but it was also less likely to be seen through.
For example, one could only change the exposed face and wear real clothes.
"How do you have Tobirama's Chakra?"
Sensing that familiar Chakra, Masahiko Uzumaki became even more confused.
Everyone's Chakra was different, not just in terms of attributes, but for deeper reasons.
Even the Chakra of father and son or brothers would differ. He was not unfamiliar with Senju Tobirama's Chakra and would not sense it incorrectly.
Who exactly was this person?
