Among Konohagakure, Uchiha Clan Forbidden Grounds.
Kagami Uchiha had just returned from Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's yard when he suddenly noticed something, so he turned around and walked away into the distance.
Not long after, in front of him, a Golden Eagle appeared in his sight.
"I've met Lord Lingyun." Kagami Uchiha saluted respectfully.
He is familiar with Lingyun, the psychic beast of Takenaka Kaguya. The key is that this guy is very strong. So far, he is not his opponent.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Lingyun learned two types of Haki, Observation Haki and Armament Haki from Takenaka Kaguya.
A few years ago, Lingyun and Kagami Uchiha met for the first time. Kagami Uchiha wanted to conquer Lingyun to be his psychic beast, but as soon as the battle started, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed.
He thought his life was over, but then he heard Lingyun speak. After some conversation, he realized that Golden Eagle was the psychic beast of Takenaka Kaguya.
"Lord Takenaka let me ask about the situation here at Konoha." Lingyun didn't talk nonsense. Although Kagami Uchiha, a human, left a good impression on him, Lingyun would only get close to the master Takenaka Kaguya.
Hearing this, Kagami Uchiha did not hide anything and told Lingyun everything that happened to Konoha.
After a moment, Lingyun nodded, and then said, "How have you considered what Lord Takenaka told you a few years ago?
You should understand that Uchiha Clan may not end well if your comrades rise to power, and given how much they value their power."
Hearing this, Kagami Uchiha hesitated in his eyes, and finally shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see. At least in a short period of time, the clansmen should not have too much trouble."
"Short-sighted!"
Lingyun snorted softly, then flapped his wings and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.
Looking at Lingyun who had disappeared, Kagami Uchiha couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed Lord Takenaka's psychic beast. With this strength, I'm afraid even those powerful guys from Three Great Sage Regions are no match."
Let's go back to Uzushiogakure, Takenaka Kaguya's yard.
Takenaka Kaguya was lying in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky and enjoying the cool breeze at night. From time to time, the sea breeze mixed with a bit of fishy smell blew on his body, making him very comfortable.
Although the death of Tobirama Senju will change the pattern of Shinobi World, all the hidden villages have an understanding of Konoha's overall strength. Therefore, even if Second Hokage Tobirama Senju dies, no other hidden village will immediately take the lead.
As the clouds of war dissipated, he naturally didn't want to pay too much attention to it.
In fact, a message came from Konoha this afternoon, asking him to go to express his condolences. In the end, he asked Chen Long Squad to go in person on behalf of him and Ashina Uzumaki.
However, at this moment, Kagura Uzumaki came over with a cup of tea, gently squeezed his shoulders, and said softly, "Takenaka, why don't you go back to the house and rest."
"It's hot. Let's rest here for a while. Are the children asleep?" Takenaka Kaguya didn't look back, but gently stretched out his hand and put it on Kagura Uzumaki's hand, indicating that she didn't need to pinch it.
"Well, Mingyue has to go to school tomorrow morning. If I don't sleep now, I won't be able to get up tomorrow.
As for the two naughty ones, they just played in the room for a while and have fallen asleep now." Kagura Uzumaki said softly.
Mingyue, full name Mingyue Takenaka, is the first child of Takenaka Kaguya. As for the two naughty ones Kagura talks about, they are the twin sons Kagura Uzumaki gave birth to him two years ago. The older one is named Changge Takenaka, and the younger one is named Muge Takenaka.
You can tell from the names, these names were all chosen by Takenaka Kaguya himself.
"That's good, I'll go to bed after a while. Kagura, you go to bed first." Takenaka Kaguya nodded and said in a personal voice with a smile.
"Is Takenaka thinking about Second Hokage's death?"
At this time, Kagura Uzumaki asked softly.
He had seen that many years ago, when First Hokage Hashirama Senju died, it was the same after his husband came back from Konoha.
"Well, besides thinking about Tobirama Senju's death, I'm also thinking about that guy Madara Uchiha.
Konoha, First and Second Hokage died in his hands, but after each battle, he disappeared without any information.
I'm worried that he is implementing a huge plan that will cause harm to Shinobi World." Takenaka Kaguya thought about it and told Kagura Uzumaki about his concerns.
Over the years, their relationship as husband and wife has been good, so Takenaka Kaguya is willing to talk to her about many things.
Moreover, Kagura Uzumaki itself is also the Jonin of Uzushiogakure, especially the first-hand Fuinjutsu, which is even more powerful.
Just talking about the level of Fuinjutsu and Kagura Uzumaki, they should soon catch up with Mito Uzumaki, the great Fuinjutsu.
"Madara Uchiha is indeed a big danger, but with you Takenaka in our village, he shouldn't dare to take action against our village.
Besides, I think his sudden attack on Second Hokage this time was probably to avenge his brother, or to take revenge on Konoha." Kagura Uzumaki analyzed softly.
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya chuckled, then shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, I'm just thinking about whether to find him and completely eliminate his unstable factor.
However, I used to know that his lair was over there at the Graveyard Mountains, but now I'm really not sure if I can find him.
After all, Madara Uchiha is very powerful, and he is surrounded by experts who are proficient in detection techniques. If he doesn't want me to find him, it will be really troublesome to find him."
After saying that, Kagura Uzumaki didn't say anything. He just came to sit next to Takenaka Kaguya, then reached out to hold his hand, and gently leaned his head on Takenaka Kaguya's shoulder.
In this way, the two of them sat in the yard for almost an hour before going back to their room to sleep.
A few days later, Mito Uzumaki came to Uzushiogakure with Scroll of Sealing's rubbings. While handing Scroll of Sealing's rubbings to Takenaka Kaguya, he told him what Tobirama Senju said before he died.
After listening, Takenaka Kaguya accepted Scroll of Sealing's rubbings, and then said warmly, "Sister Mito, are you okay?"
He knew that Tobirama Senju's death would definitely affect the pain in Mito's heart, which could be seen from the fatigue and sadness on Mito Uzumaki's face.
On the opposite side, Mito Uzumaki shook his head and pretended to be strong and said, "Don't worry, Takenaka, I'm fine. Although Hashirama and Tobirama have gone, I know they have spirits in heaven and will definitely watch Konoha with their own eyes.
By the way, in addition to conveying Tobirama's last words when I came here this time, I also have one more thing I want to discuss with you."
"Sister Mito, please speak." Takenaka Kaguya nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
Opposite me, Mito was silent for a moment, with a look of hesitation on her face. After a while, she took a sip of tea, and then said, "Now Hiruzen Sarutobi has become Third Hokage, and Shimura Danzō has become Third Hokage's assistant. This is Tobirama's helpless choice, but I also think they are suitable for these two positions.
It's just that I don't believe them."
"Don't believe them? What happened?" Takenaka Kaguya asked.
"They want to disband the Senju Clan clan of the forest that has not yet been disbanded, and reintegrate them completely into Konoha. Although this plan was proposed before Tobirama was alive, now, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō want to make the name Senju of the Forest disappear completely.
Senju of the Forest is the family of Hashirama. In order to take the lead, after establishing Konoha, it began to intentionally integrate into the village and marry into various large and small families and even common people.
However, from beginning to end, the pure blood of some tribesmen was retained.
However, in these years, the name Senju of the Forest seems to have completely disappeared. If even the remaining tribe members are to integrate into Konoha, the name Senju of the Forest will really disappear."
Speaking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Mito Uzumaki's eyes. After a fleeting moment, she continued, "I can't make up my mind, so I wanted to ask you, Takenaka, if you want to agree to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō's request."
After listening, Takenaka Kaguya said in his heart, "Hey guys, although this incident happened in Hokage's original work, he really didn't know that this thing that made Senju Clan of the forest merge into Konoha and completely disappear, would happen so early.
"They really can't wait. Before Second Hokage's corpse is cold, they want to make Senju of the Forest disappear completely?
Mito Sister, if it were me, I would definitely not agree.
First, sister Mito, you are still here, and there are still pure blood tribesmen in the Senju Clan of Forest. Who knows when, there will be a Awakening Wood Release Kekkei Genkai tribesman like brother Hashirama among the younger generations, who can lead the Senju Clan tribe of Forest to rise again.
Secondly, as soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi came to power, he couldn't wait to make the name Senju of the Forest disappear. It seems that he wanted to consolidate his power.
Finally, two people, Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi, came to power. In fact, I am not optimistic that Konoha can flourish in their hands." Takenaka Kaguya thought for a while and finally spoke out.
In fact, in his opinion, Tobirama Senju was a smart man, but he came up with the absurd policy of integrating Senju of the Forest's people into Konoha.
You know, Senju of the Forest and Uchiha Clan are the two founding ninjas of Konoha, and Tobirama Senju's self-restraining behavior. To be honest, Takenaka Kaguya still doesn't understand it until now.
Unless Tobirama Senju also came from time travel, I am worried that Senju of the Forest will one day suffer genocide like Uchiha Clan in the future.
However, if he really came from time travel, he would not allow politicians like Hiruzen Sarutobi to ascend to the position of Konoha Third Hokage.
"Tobirama and I are equally not optimistic about them, but Madara Uchiha's attack was so sudden that no one expected it.
If a few years pass, Tobirama will never choose Hiruzen Sarutobi to become Konoha Third Hokage. It's a pity that fate has its way with people." Mito Uzumaki nodded in agreement.
In fact, she had a very bad impression of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, especially after Tobirama Senju came back from First Shinobi World War and informed her of the information.
Across the way, looking at the displeasure on Mito Uzumaki's face, Takenaka Kaguya was wondering whether he should tell him that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, these two guys who deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, would send people to secretly study Hashirama Cells in the future?
You know, where did Konoha so many Hashirama Cells raw materials come from in the original work? Isn't it from Hashirama Senju's corpse?
Even though he is dead, his body is still used for research by future generations. It is really unworthy of a human being to disturb the peace of the deceased.
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, the research on Hashirama Cells must not have started yet. After all, the scientific madman Orochimaru is still a little kid studying at the Ninja Academy.
Even if you say it, Mito may not believe it.
It's better not to say anything than that.
"Sister Mito, don't worry too much. Konoha and Uzushiogakure have always been allies. As long as I am here, I will never stand by and watch Konoha encounter any trouble.
Moreover, I believe that before Second Hokage died, he asked sister to send this rubbing of Scroll of Sealing with this intention." Takenaka Kaguya smiled and comforted, and made Tobirama Senju's purpose clear.
"Haha, I knew that Tobirama couldn't hide his thoughts from you." Mito Uzumaki said with a helpless smile.
"Hahaha, this is not difficult to guess. I have dealt with Tobirama Senju several times. What kind of temperament does he have? How can I not know it?
As the saying goes, when you treat someone with courtesy, you must ask for something. Sister Mito, although you didn't say it, I can guess that he was worried that Madara Uchiha would endanger Konoha's safety in the future, so he did this.
It's just that he is overthinking, even if he doesn't do this, with the relationship between you and me, sister Mito, if Konoha is really in danger, I will definitely come to my aid in time." Takenaka Kaguya laughed and said confidently.
After finishing speaking, Mito Uzumaki nodded and said with a smile, "I definitely believe this. When the war broke out, Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure joined forces. If Takenaka hadn't stopped Kirigakure from you, the war might not have ended yet."
Speaking of this, Mito Uzumaki paused for a moment and glanced at Takenaka Kaguya. After a moment, she continued, "I don't know how far your strength has reached after so many years, Takenaka!"
"Sister Mito is joking, my strength is indeed improving over the years, but the speed of progress has slowed down.
Of course, if you face that guy Madara Uchiha, there will be no problem at all." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
He thought that Mito Uzumaki wanted him to take action against Madara Uchiha, so he said such words.
However, he thought wrong. Mito Uzumaki just nodded happily, then shook his head and sighed, "Takenaka, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of letting you take the initiative to deal with Madara Uchiha. I just feel that your strength has improved so much when I first met you."
"After all these years, it's normal for your strength to improve." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
"That's right, by the way, Takenaka, can I ask you a question?"
At this time, Mito Uzumaki asked again.
"Of course." Takenaka Kaguya nodded.
"I want to ask you, in Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared, you ate a strange fruit, and then you turned into a powerful monster. Is it related to that fruit?"
