Mito: Hashirama Has Been Tainted

Chapter 98: Mito: Hashirama Has Been Tainted

Within the Senju Clan Grounds.

When Uzumaki Mito heard that Uchiha Madara wanted Hashirama to transplant his flesh and blood, she was utterly unwilling. Her husband already had Ashura's chakra within him. Shuzong was the "love child" born of her, Hashirama, and Ashura's chakra.

And now they were adding Uchiha Madara's too? What kind of sense did that make? Would Hashirama still be the same Hashirama? If he had a second child like Uori, wouldn't that child be far too mixed—part Uzumaki, part Senju Clan, part Uchiha Clan? Wouldn't that make a whole string of them?

Besides, what did that make her, Uzumaki Mito? A woman who gave birth to four men's children? Mito was even afraid that when this child grew up and got excited, the Sharingan would suddenly awaken. Then everyone in the ninja world would curse her for being unchaste, calling Uzumaki Mito Konoha's number-one whore. The rumors flying everywhere, along with the Senju Clan's and Uzumaki Clan's spittle, would be enough to drown her.

Senju Tobirama saw things differently. His elder brother had been affected by Ashura's chakra. If only Uchiha Madara could save him, then transplanting Uchiha Madara's flesh and blood was nothing much. After all, Uchiha Madara had also transplanted his elder brother's flesh and blood and carried his elder brother's chakra within him.

In the short term, his elder brother could recover his strength and continue protecting the Senju Clan, stabilizing the Senju Clan's position in Konoha. In the long term, if Uchiha Madara had descendants in the future, those children would carry Senju blood.

To Senju Tobirama, this was a perfect infiltration of the Uchiha Clan from within. If Uchiha Madara's descendants became Hokage someday, how would that be any different from Senju children becoming
