Araki's first target was the Second Hokage's Sword of the Thunder God. That sword was most likely located in one of two places.
One possibility was that it had been stored as a treasure in the Hokage Office. Another was that it had been placed in the old Senju Clan residence, kept by Tsunade, the only surviving member of the Senju Clan.
Ever since the First Hokage had broken up and disbanded the Senju branch families, the once-mighty Senju Clan had vanished in an instant. Now, only Tsunade, the sole direct descendant, remained, living alone amid their vast estate.
Hmm...
Konoha's richest woman—without a doubt.
She came with countless alluring labels: wealthy woman, married woman, healer, thirty-years-older woman, and more. She was truly the ultimate support who could save someone twenty years of struggle, or even guarantee them a path to Kage level.
Even Araki was no exception. He greatly coveted her fair, tender summoned beast, Katsuyu.
After all, Katsuyu was the Shinobi World's only medical-type summoned beast, and her true body was an immortal-level giant slug. She could be useful all the way to the end.
After weighing it over repeatedly, Araki decided to search the old Senju Clan residence first. Its defenses were certainly far weaker than those of the Hokage Office, and at the very least, he could eliminate one wrong option first.
The Senju family's grand estate stood in the center of Konoha, displaying their status as the village's founders.
Yet compared to its former bustle, the estate now seemed exceptionally quiet and desolate.
After all, the Senju Clan had only one heir left, and that heir was not in very good condition herself.
Following the shadows, Araki carefully made his way to the entrance of the Senju Residence and lightly leaped onto the wall.
