The Senju Clan's Allegiance and the Past, When the Senju Nearly Disappeared (4,000-Word Special)

After the dust of the battle settled, Iori gently put Tsunade down, and his expression changed from the seriousness during the battle to gentleness.

He took out Noble Phantasm"Pain Breaker" and prepared to start treating the injured people.

Mari witnessed the whole process of Iori liberating Noble Phantasm for the first time, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

As a top medical ninja, she is full of the urge to research this completely different medical technology.

Iori saw her eyes and smiled softly at her, "It is also my purpose to popularize this power. If you have the opportunity to study it later, don't worry."

Mari was overjoyed when he heard this, and then suppressed his excitement and waited for the end of the treatment.

As the treatment progressed, the staff emitted a warm light, slowly covering the injured ninjas.

This light is like the spring sunshine, warm and full of vitality, constantly healing their wounds.

Gradually, Tsunade and several other ninjas gradually regained consciousness under the treatment of Noble Phantasm.

As the golden light of Noble Phantasm gradually penetrated into every corner of the body, the several ninjas outside Tsunade felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and comfort.

Not only did they heal the wounds they had suffered in the battle, but also the hidden wounds they had not noticed in the past were repaired under Iori's Noble Phantasm.

Tsunade opened her eyes, her eyes focused on Iori, with a hint of sourness in her tone.

"You have unparalleled healing ability. You really don't spare any effort in fighting."

Although her words contained a hint of complaint, her eyes showed emotion for the power of Noble Phantasm. No matter how many times she saw it, she still sighed at this power.

Tsunade even had a thought in his mind, [Even if he has just died, he may be able to revive them.]

Iori just smiled slightly at Tsunade's "complaint", and he accepted the words as a special compliment.

One-Two Strike As Qi-Swallowing Method's special skill, the attack will directly impact the opponent's nerves, causing the opponent's heart to stop due to the vagus nerve reflex.

This is an extremely dangerous and difficult-to-treat injury. Even if Medical Ninjutsu is stronger than Tsunade, there is no absolute certainty in treating nerve damage until Senjutsu is mastered.

In the main story of Hokage, Rock Lee suffered a comminuted fracture after being injured by Gaara. She was only 5% sure of success in the initial treatment, and failure would directly lead to the death of Rock Lee.

Even if the strategy was found later, the success rate only increased to 50%. Rock Lee was able to recover mostly through his own efforts and luck.

However, Iori's Noble Phantasm can easily treat these injuries.

Due to her professionalism as a medical ninja, she developed a strong unwillingness and desire for research.

"Iori, we agreed, let me study this later. We didn't have the conditions to study it on the front line before, but now we can finally start studying it when we return to the village."

Tsunade stood up from the ground and said carelessly, with a hint of excitement and expectation on her face.

Seeing that the battle was over, Tohka Senju's figure slowly appeared on the training ground.

After seeing that Iori's treatment was over, she walked over, slowly put down the crutch in her hand, and knelt down on one knee in front of Iori in the ancient Warring States Period etiquette.

There was a solemn expression on her face, and her eyes revealed determination and awareness.

"I swear on behalf of the Senju Clan that as long as you are alive, Senju Clan will always be loyal to you."

She said in a serious tone.

This is Warring States Period, the etiquette of ninja loyalty to the daimyo. Not many people know about it in today's era, but Iori, as Uchiha, happens to know something about it.

In addition to Tsunade, several other ninjas also followed Tohka Senju's actions, kneeling one by one and offering their loyalty.

There was awe and respect on their faces. During the battle, they had understood what strength and power meant. They had learned to maintain respect when facing a strong man who could easily crush them to death.

Iori stood there quietly, accepting their salutes. After their etiquette was completed, he returned the salutes based on memory.

Iori's etiquette indicates that he accepts their allegiance and promises to lead them to a better future.

Later, Iori set foot on the road back to Senju Residence's residence with them.

The lights in the mansion were brightly lit, Iori walked into the hall and took the main seat without hesitation.

Several other people sat down at the bottom. Tsunade was a little hesitant, but in the end he still sat on the right hand side of Iori.

Iori is full of curiosity and doubts about the Senju Clan choosing to use this kind of etiquette to show allegiance.

The older the family is and the more it values honor, the less likely it is to break this oath. Even though there is a lot of foreshadowing, Iori is still shocked by this level of loyalty.

After all, Iori is actually Uchiha, which is a bit magical just thinking about it.

Iori asked Tohka Senju curiously, "Why do you need to use this kind of ritual loyalty? I originally thought you meant the same alliance ceremony as First Hokage and Madara before, but with me as the leader."

Facing Iori's question, Tohka Senju showed a wry smile, "Haha, the world has begun to change. From your mouth, I already know your ambition."

She said seriously, "You plan to destroy the aristocracy, replace them with ninjas, and completely integrate the country and the village into one. Then as the new leader, you are both Hokage and a daimyo."

"It's not appropriate to think of it as a courtesy among ninjas. Now my allegiance will tie Senju Clan to you. We will both prosper and suffer."

"Although this is a big gamble, I believe I can win."

There was a deep reluctance in her tone. "Now most of the Senju Clan's bloodline has been integrated into Konoha, Senju Clan no longer exists."

"But I am still not reconciled to the disappearance of the Senju Clan, and everyone who remains is also unwilling to do so."

Her eyes became distant, as if she was recalling the past glory of the Senju Clan:

"The dreams of Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama are too great, but we still can't abandon the glory of the past and the surname that has been passed down for thousands of years."

Then, a flame symbolizing hope ignited in her eyes. "Fortunately, even if we are all destroyed, the bloodline of the Senju Clan will continue in Konoha, so I decided to take a gamble."

Thinking of the terrifying power Iori showed before, and the fact that Tsunade has successfully practiced Senjutsu.

Tohka Senju's words were full of trust. "I bet the hope of the Senju Clan's rise again on you, and I hope my choice is correct."

Iori listened quietly, and he could feel the weight and determination contained in Tohka Senju's words.

A smile appeared on the corner of Iori's mouth, "I will never let down those who trust me. This has been the case in the past and will be the same in the future."

After laying the groundwork, Iori asked the question he had been curious about for a long time, not only to satisfy his curiosity, but also to find out the current situation of the Senju Clan.

"I'm also very curious about how to use it. Why did Senju Clan disappear? Even Tsunade and Nawaki were not named Senju."

Iori has been confused by this issue in his previous life.

In the comics of the previous life, First Hokage and Second Hokage officially appeared in the later stages of the story.

Therefore, in the early stage of the story, the setting of the Senju Clan did not exist, which resulted in no one appearing as Senju Clan except Tsunade and Rope Technique.

Even the Tsunade and Nawaki who appeared were not named Senju, leading many netizens to speculate whether they were the grandchildren of Hashirama instead of their grandchildren.

If Second Hokage Tobirama hadn't gotten married, we wouldn't even be sure whether they were the descendants of Hashirama or Tobirama.

However, in the real Ninja World, Senju Clan has been at war with the Uchiha Clan for thousands of years, and finally joined hands to create the powerful family of Konoha.

It actually disappeared out of thin air, leaving only Tsunade as a single seedling. It is really difficult to explain.

You must know that Uchiha Clan was a large clan with thousands of people before the top leaders joined forces with Itachi Uchiha to exterminate the clan.

Although many of them are just civilians, they are also given the surname Uchiha and can awaken Sharingan.

"This will be divided into two parts." Tohka Senju said in a heavy tone, leading Iori's thoughts to the past.

In Senju Residence, in a dark secret room, Tobirama Senju gathered the tribesmen. They sat together, and there was a kind of heaviness and uneasiness in the air.

Tobirama's face looked particularly serious under the dim light. He said in a low tone and seriously:

"After the death of my eldest brother, the war intensified. The people of the Senju Clan were targeted and suffered heavy losses."

"Although my eldest brother and I have decided to sacrifice everything for the village, our original intention is still to protect you."

Tobirama's eyes swept over every clan member present, with a hint of heartache.

"So I decided to cancel the surname Senju and fully integrate Senju Clan into Konoha."

Tobirama's words were like a heavy bomb, exploding in the secret room, causing thousands of waves.

The Senju people protested one after another. They were extremely excited, their faces turned red, and their voices kept rising and falling.

"You can't do this, Lord Tobirama!" someone shouted angrily, his eyes full of confusion and shock.

"How can Senju's surname be cancelled?" Another tribesman clenched his fists, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Lord Tobirama, are you doing this worthy of Master Butsuma?" The Jonin next to him questioned, how could the inheritance of the ancestors be discarded.

Tobirama Senju's eyes widened and he glanced at everyone. There was an unquestionable majesty in his eyes.

The tribesmen looked at Tobirama's cold eyes, and their voices gradually became quieter.

"Konoha was founded by our Senju clan and is also the home of our Senju clan."

The voice of Tobirama sounded again, Konoha is Senju, and Senju is Konoha. The connection between the two is deeper than blood, and it is the reason for Tobirama to fight for it.

"The last name is no longer important, Konoha is our last name."

"But..." Some people wanted to object, but looking at Tobirama's cold eyes, their voices gradually stopped.

"After the surname Senju is cancelled, you can freely choose a new surname and live in Konoha."

Tobirama's tone softened slightly.

"If you still want to continue to become a ninja, you can also come to my newly established Ninja Academy to become a teacher."

Tobirama proposed a new choice to teach a new generation of ninjas, not only to inherit the will of the Senju Clan, but also to cultivate the future of Konoha.

"Teaching the new generation of ninjas is also making a contribution to Konoha. You don't have to be on the front line to sacrifice yourself for Konoha."

"I have lost many familiar faces, and I don't want to see you die on the battlefield."

Tobirama's voice gradually became deeper, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Even though he claims that "just because he is Hokage, he has to implement a ruthless attitude."

But facing his own people, he couldn't help but think about them and worry about their future.

Soon after, a heavy message spread throughout Konoha - Tobirama Senju encountered an accident on the way to form an alliance with Raikage and died after the break. Hiruzen Sarutobi took over as Third Hokage.

The tribesmen of the Senju Clan respected Tobirama's last thoughts in grief.

Many tribesmen who lacked strength and talent chose to give themselves other surnames, or married into their wives' families and started a new life.

But there are still some ninjas who, although they have canceled their last names, have not left Senju Clan.

They firmly chose to stay in the family and settled down around Hashirama's widow, Mito Uzumaki.

This group of people is us and our former companions.

Some of them are not good at fighting, so they choose to join the Ministry of Education to pass on their knowledge and experience to the next generation.

After Tsunade established the medical department, some ninjas also joined it. Senju Clan's natural chakra control ability allowed them to learn Medical Ninjutsu like a duck to water.

Originally there were still a group of tribesmen among us who were good at fighting, but they fought bravely in World War II and most of them died.

Almost all of the remaining clan members died in the Wood Release experiment hosted by Third Hokage in order to recreate Wood Release.

After recounting the past history, Senju Momo smiled bitterly and said, "Now, apart from us, Senju only has more than a hundred clansmen and more than forty chuunin, and they are not chuunin who are good at fighting."

"The current Senju is just an empty frame. In addition, if you want us to bring back the Senju who have integrated into Konoha, please forgive me for refusing. They are no longer Senju."

She did not want those tribesmen who had already integrated into Konoha to be involved in the upcoming storm, which went against the original intention of dividing the family.

She lowered her head and apologized. "I cannot involve them in the Uzumaki Clan. Please forgive me."

Iori listened quietly, with a generous smile on his face.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the help of a few people is enough, and I am not lacking in combat effectiveness."

"Don't forget, I am Uchiha. Soon, I will defeat Fugaku and become the clan leader."

"Ninjas who are good at education, management, and medical care are more important to me than warriors."

Iori smiled gently. For Iori, Senju Clan's signature is far more important than the power they bring.

What's more, Iori's laboratory has already begun preparations. It is completely enough to safely inject Hashirama Cells into them, at least to the level of Yamato.
