"Kid, what's your name?"
Hearing Enma's obviously softened question, Senju Chen straightened up and returned Thunder God Sword to the scabbard behind his back. He raised his head and faced those huge eyes. Although his voice was a little unstable due to breathing, it was extremely clear.
"Senju Chen."
"Senju... Chen." Enma repeated the name in a low voice, with a humane and complex expression on the huge monkey face, "Senju Clan's descendant..."
It sat down cross-legged, its huge body causing the ground to shake slightly. It looked at Senju Chen, its eyes no longer looking down, but an almost equal look.
"Boy, your strength and will have been recognized by me. From today on, you are our new contractor Monkey Clan." Its voice was still loud, but more solemn, "However, you must remember that our relationship is that of equal partners, not master and servant. I will not obey the unreasonable orders of a young brat."
"Of course." Senju Chen nodded, with a bright smile on his face, "What I need is a partner, not a tool."
This simple sentence seemed to speak to the heart of Enma. Its serious monkey face also showed a rare smile, although the smile still looked a bit ferocious.
"Good boy, you're welcome to me!" It stretched out a finger as thick as a stone pillar and gently touched Senju Chen's shoulder, "If you really can't beat me in the future, you can call me!"
After saying that, it glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi in the distance and grinned. "Hiruzen, you old guy, you finally did something reliable. This kid is much more interesting than you were back then."
Before it finished speaking, its figure made a "bang" sound and turned into a huge cloud of white smoke again, disappearing from the place, leaving only the devastated training ground and two people looking at each other.
"Little Chen... You are very good." He patted Senju Chen on the shoulder, the strength of his palm was a bit heavy, "Much better than I imagined."
He sent Senju Chen back to Senju's mansion, and neither of them spoke any more along the way. Hiruzen Sarutobi needed time to digest the shock he received today, while Senju Chen was reminiscing about the sword strike with Monkey King Enma just now.
After all, the news cannot be hidden.
Monkey King Enma's huge mountain-like figure and its deafening roar, although mostly blocked by the barrier, still alarmed many ninjas near the Hokage building.
Soon, an astonishing news spread rapidly throughout Konoha, as if it had grown wings.
"Have you heard? Third Lord Hokage, passed the Summoning Contract of Enma to that young master Senju Clan!"
"What?! Real or fake? That's Monkey King Enma!"
"It's absolutely true! Someone saw Lord Hokage taking Senju Chen into the exclusive training ground, and then there was a huge noise, and someone else saw the huge figure of Monkey King Enma!"
"Oh my god... that child is only six years old, right? How can he get Monkey King Enma's recognition? I heard that Monkey King Enma is more powerful than some Jonin adults."
"Who knows? I heard that he just returned from Land of Rain's S-level mission and made great achievements! Moreover, he is a descendant of the Senju Clan. With the blood of Lord First Hokage, it is not surprising that he can do anything!"
For a time, everyone in the pub, on the street, and in the training ground was talking about this matter.
The name "Senju Chen" has once again been imprinted on the hearts of all Konoha people in a very impactful way.
If we say that the previous Wood Release only made him a "genius" and "mascot" that attracted much attention.
So now, the successful contract with Enma has allowed him to truly have his own power and status that is enough for everyone to take seriously.
Root Base.
In the cold and damp underground, Shimura Danzō quietly listened to the report of his subordinates. There was no expression on his bandaged face.
"Senju Chen... actually got the approval of Enma." After a long time, his hoarse voice slowly sounded.
His single eye flashed with a cold light.
She is pregnant with Wood Release, and now she is contracted to Senju's descendant Enma...
The child's growth rate has exceeded his control.
He even felt a hint of threat.
The "sharp blade" that should have been held in his hand to cut through the darkness for Konoha now seems to have a mind of its own and is getting sharper.
Uchiha Clan Compound.
Uchiha Fugaku was sitting in the main seat, his face as sinking as water. In front of him stood Shisui Uchiha who had just returned from the Hokage building.
"Master Patriarch, this is what happened." A Uchiha clansman reported to Fugaku, still feeling a trace of incredible shock. "When I came back, I happened to hear the news...Senju Chen... he successfully contracted with Monkey King Enma."
Fugaku's fingers tapped lightly on the cold table, making a "ta, da" sound.
Senju Chen...Enma...
Every word was like a huge stone pressing on his heart.
Senju Clan, after so many years of silence, will another character finally appear who can influence the pattern of Shinobi World?
He thought of his son, Itachi, who was still babbling.
I also remembered the grand plan I had made for the Uchiha Clan.
"Go and call Shisui"
Hearing that the patriarch suddenly summoned him, Shisui Uchiha looked puzzled, but he quickly came to Uchiha Fugaku's home.
"Shisui." Fugaku's voice was low and firm.
"Here."
"Bring the gift and go visit Senju Chen. His sister Tsunade has just left the village. At this time, he needs the care and company of his friends."
"Yes, patriarch, I'll go right away."
He had heard the news about Lady Tsunade leaving the village before, and he was also full of worries about Senju Chen.
I heard that I was asked to find Senju Chen, so I quickly agreed.
Senju Chen didn't know what kind of waves his actions today had caused throughout Konoha.
He returned to the empty mansion.
Shizune has prepared hot meals and bath water for him.
After finishing his meal, he soaked in the warm bathtub, feeling the hot water soaking into every inch of his tired muscles, but his thoughts drifted into the distance.
Everything he got today made him feel excited.
Especially when I recall the constipated expressions on the faces of those senior executives, I couldn't help but feel happy.
But when he returned to this home without Tsunade, the joy of victory seemed to be diluted a lot and became a little empty.
He looked at his reflection on the water, and his childish face showed a maturity and loneliness that was not for his age.
sister...
He stretched out his hand and disturbed the reflection in the water.
When I become strong enough to ignore all the rules, I will definitely get you back.
