Developments in the aftermath

Tobirama Senju clenched his fists tightly, blood dripping from his palms, yet he could not bear the pain in his heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi below remained silent, but nodded respectfully to Tobirama Senju, who had become the Second Hokage, and said, "Yes, Second."

Hiruzen Sarutobi withdrew, Shimura Danzō looked at Tobirama Senju and couldn't help but ask, "Second, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Kangetsu caused havoc this time, killing the First Hokage. What should be done about the Uchiha Clan in Konoha?"

Danzo speaking, Tobirama Senju Shimura Danzō, and he coldly snapped, "Shut up, this is none of your business."

Tobirama Senju turned his head and looked at the still fiery red sea of clouds, his heart filled with hatred.

Blood Ninja Village, Blood Shadow Office.

Kangetsu sat there silently, looking at the kneeling crowd below, and said coldly, "Now that Senju Hashirama is dead, Konoha, which once held immense power over all the other ninja villages, has lost its formidable strength. War is likely imminent. However, it's also possible that our Blood Ninja Village will be attacked. Although my strength is terrifyingly powerful in many people's eyes, without firsthand experience, these greedy individuals have no fear. The war is about to continue; it's time to prepare. Inoue, Watanabe, Isshin, Inoue... prepare for battle."

"It's Master Kangetsu."

Those below spoke in unison.

Kangetsu waved her hand, and the people below slowly retreated. At this moment, Kangetsu turned her gaze to the empty space and said indifferently, "White Zetsu, come out."

The voice carried a hint of indifference, but the white figure was gradually emerging.

White Zetsu looked at Kangetsu and then said, "Lord Kangetsu."

Kangetsu nodded, then looked at White Zetsu and asked, "White Zetsu, how is the situation now?"

"Lord Kangetsu, the entire Konoha is in mourning. Tobirama Senju has become the Second Hokage, but his first order was to invite the Kage of all the major ninja villages to attend Senju Hashirama's funeral. However, according to the information from my clone, there are no Blood Ninja Village among them."

Kangetsu remained silent, gazing into the distance, and said disdainfully, "Senju Hashirama's funeral? Does he deserve my presence? Trash!"

White Zetsu silent. Kangetsu, with a hint of killing intent, continued to ask, "How is the Nine-Tails now?"

"Lord Kangetsu, it has been confirmed that the Nine-Tails ' clone was sealed by Uzumaki Zixin, and he himself became the Nine-Tails ' Jinchūriki. However, Uzumaki Zixin concealed this secret and then concentrated all of Senju Hashirama's remaining power. Now, Konoha has two major forces, one centered around Uzumaki Zixin and the other Tobirama Senju. But secretly, there is also the power of Hyuga Naiko, who is Tobirama Senju's wife."

White Zetsu's words elicited a disdainful smile from Kangetsu, who thought to herself, "It seems the internal strife is about to begin. The earlier arrangements are now ready to bear fruit, but I wonder how dazzling this flower will be?"
