Squad Assembles

It can be said that as long as Nawaki does not die and can grow to his peak, he alone could suppress both clans. The Uchiha can still pin their hopes on the Mangekyō, but the Hyuga have no knowledge of the Tenseigan, so they have absolutely no intention of surpassing the Senju; they are content just to maintain their current status.

As for Nawaki, if he wants to complete the "Senju Bloodline Fusion Plan," he needs a large number of ninja as a foundation. In any case, Konoha will belong to the Senju clan in the future, so naturally, the stronger it is, the better.

With the interests of all parties aligned, various plans were naturally reached by consensus. After realizing this, everyone admired Nawaki's wisdom and way of handling affairs even more. This method of manipulating others through interests is far more effective and practical than appealing to "the greater good."

Therefore, after everyone expressed their goodwill and intentions for cooperation to Nawaki, they dispersed happily.

Shimura Danzō even went so far as to promise Nawaki that he could consult him directly if he had any problems.

After returning to the clan, Nawaki summoned the elders and jonin. Since his ten-man guard had all been promoted to jonin, and with the unconditional support of Tsunade and Mito, he had already obtained absolute power within the Senju clan. Thus, when he proposed the Konoha Consortium plan, no one opposed it.

In any case, the Senju clan's current income from casinos, hotels, and other industries already reached fifty million ryo per month, and this figure was still increasing. Meanwhile, the multinational caravans had reached a saturation point due to manpower issues and had not grown for a long time. Now, by cooperating with various families and adding a large amount of capital and manpower, the Senju clan could reap even more profits! When had Young Clan Head Nawaki ever suffered a loss in business? They only needed to follow in his footsteps.

After Nawaki finished delegating the affairs of the consortium and the Finance Department, he focused on his training. Over the past two years, the clan had cultivated many business management talents who could easily complete tasks according to his plans. With Mito and the three elders overseeing things, it could be said to be foolproof.

At night, after finishing his training, Nawaki muttered in his room: "System, display my attribute sheet."

Looking at the drastically changed attribute panel, Nawaki was very satisfied with the results of his three years of training, and a sense of accomplishment welled up within him.

His current strength could be considered that of a relatively well-rounded elite chunin; if he used Wood Release, he could even contend with a jonin. As his reputation increased to two hundred points, his rate of Wish Power growth had multiplied several times over. He knew that his goal of possessing jonin-level strength before the age of twelve had basically been achieved. The only thing currently restricting his progress was his young, three-year-old body.

Although he had been conducting constant physical training over the past two years and consuming plenty of high-nutrition food and precious supplements daily—combined with the Asura Bloodline—making his vitality many times stronger than his peers and his physique exceptionally tall for a six or seven-year-old, everything had its limits. According to the system's prompt, his current growth rate had reached an optimal state; accelerating it further would cause damage to his body and affect his potential.

He was, after all, only three years old and could not compare to a teenage Naruto or a peak-era Hashirama. Therefore, basic attributes like chakra volume, stamina, and physical strength had become the bottlenecks limiting his progress. In terms of technique, he had almost reached the peak of this body; aside from not yet fully mastering nature transformation, his seal-weaving speed and his understanding and application of ninjutsu had reached their limits.

Therefore, he decided to become a genin. While accumulating combat experience and promotion qualifications through missions, he could also earn Wish Power. As for ninjutsu training, it could take a backseat for now; he only needed to set aside a certain amount of time each day for daily physical training. After all, completing missions while wearing weights was a form of training in itself.

The next day, Nawaki met with his supervising jonin and two genin teammates.

Nawaki was always punctual, so he arrived at the meeting place five minutes early, but to his surprise, he was the last to arrive. "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting. I am Senju Nawaki, I hope for your guidance."

"It's fine, there are still 5 minutes until the agreed time. These two little ones were just too excited and arrived early, and I only just arrived myself." The person speaking had met Nawaki just yesterday and knew that his status in the village might even be higher than his own, so his tone was very polite.

This person was the direct disciple of the Second Hokage, the head of the Akimichi clan, Torifu Akimichi. Like his unborn son and grandson, his physique was very "plump." To accommodate the secret techniques of the Akimichi clan, they had to sacrifice their image and desperately gain weight. Even now, Torifu Akimichi did not forget to stuff snacks into his mouth; he was truly "hardworking," worthy of being a member of the well-deserved gluttonous clan.

"We weren't excited! It's just that as a ninja, one must be prepared in advance!" The speaker was a ten-year-old boy with long sideburns. "I saw your graduation exam, Nawaki! Your Earth Release and Fire Release were both very good, and I am also proficient in those two! I heard you are only three years old, but you don't look like it at all. You truly are a genius. By the way, my name is Sarutobi Shinnosuke."

Hearing this boy, who looked very much like Asuma, identify himself as Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Nawaki raised an eyebrow. Sarutobi Shinnosuke? Isn't this the "green sprout" that netizens made up? He couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Sarutobi clan? Are you the son of the Third Hokage?"

"That's right, I am the old man's son! The nickname you gave him is just too fitting; he really is a senile old man!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Hearing the Hokage's son and disciple discussing his image together, Torifu Akimichi choked on the snack in his mouth and couldn't help but cough violently.

Meanwhile, in the distant Hokage's office, a roar suddenly erupted: "You brat! You unfilial son! It's all that bastard Jiraiya's fault for leading him astray!" The surrounding Shadow Guards and Anbu couldn't help but smile knowingly upon hearing the Hokage's daily roar.

Jiraiya, who was performing a mission outside the village, suddenly sneezed.

"Jiraiya, are you sick? I told you to do less of those sleazy things; your body is getting weaker and weaker. You won't even be able to beat Nawaki in the future," Tsunade teased from the side.

"Is that brother of yours a freak just like you? If we're talking about taijutsu, no normal person could beat him, right?"

"Jiraiya, who are you calling a freak? Is your skin itching again? I exchanged taijutsu with Nawaki yesterday. In a while, once I learn Shunpo, let's see how you dodge! I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!"

"Ah... how terrifying..."

"Hehehe..." Listening to the two of them bickering, Orochimaru let out an eerie laugh.
