The Senju Clan Compound lay just southwest of the area below Kage Rock. Ancient trees formed a forest, and old houses stood in abundance, embodying the name "Senju of the Forest" in the most literal sense.
"The Senju Clan Compound has to be the nicest place in Konoha."
Kazuhiko walked through the compound and took a deep breath of fresh air.
He exhaled, feeling that the air here was sweeter than in the Uchiha Clan Compound.
The Uchiha and Senju weren't even that far apart, so how had he developed this kind of mindset, favoring the Senju?
No, wait!
Kazuhiko immediately realized something was off.
He looked at some unusually massive trees and spotted the key detail.
"Trees this thick would take more than a dozen people to encircle. They must be hundreds, if not thousands, of years old!"
"It's not that the air just feels sweeter here. It really is."
"These trees must be the landscaping in the Senju Clan Compound, created by Senju Hashirama with Wood Release!"
Going by the Wood Release Senju Hashirama had shown in the original story, creating this vast forest would be nothing. With a single Deep Forest Emergence, Konoha would turn back into a primeval jungle on the spot.
"Now that I'm no longer single, I'd have a lot more freedom if I moved out. Tsunade's place in the Senju Clan Compound seems like a pretty good option."
Kazuhiko surveyed the compound.

This was where successful people in Konoha belonged!

He had to buy a house here!
Kazuhiko's primal instincts were fully activated.
