"For the village?! You gave Jinchūriki to the Uchiha Clan for foster care, and you said it was for the village?!" Utatane Koharu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"First." Senju Chen held out a finger, and his tone was calm but with an unquestionable power, "Nine-Tails was wreaking havoc last night. Who was it that ignored the danger at the first time, organized the tribesmen to evacuate the civilians, and reduced the losses to The lowest? Is Uchiha Clan. Now the people in the whole village are grateful to Uchiha and his family. If we show extreme distrust of them at this time and chill the hearts of the heroes, this will sow the seeds of unrest in the village."
"You..." Mitokado Homura was speechless.
"Second." Senju Chen held out a second finger, his eyes becoming a little playful, "The child lost his parents just after he was born. He needs to be taken care of, and he also needs a... wet nurse. As far as I know, Uchiha Clan Head's wife, Ms. Mikoto, happens to be She has just given birth. Taking care of Naruto by her will not only solve the problem of breastfeeding, but also allow the child to grow up in an environment full of maternal love. Do the two elders think it would be better for the child to be given to Anbu who can only perform tasks, or sent to an orphanage?"
"Konoha has a special nursing facility!" Utatane Koharu retorted.
"Oh? Care institution?" Senju Chen sneered, his gaze piercing Utatane Koharu like a sharp sword, "Do you train children to be tools that only know how to kill, like Danzo did? How quickly did the two elders forget about those Root assassins who assassinated the family members of high-level officials last night?"
When Root was mentioned, the momentum of the two consultants suddenly weakened. That was a stain they could not erase.
Seeing this, Senju Chen turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been silent, and his tone softened a little. "Lord Third, you know best. Uchiha Clan longs for recognition, longs for recognition. Integrate into the village. When we hand over Naruto to them, it is not only trust, but also a disguised 'hostage' exchange. They are raising the heroic son of the village, so they must fight to the death to protect the village for this honor. Isn't this the best way to appease?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke slowly, "Little Chen, what you said makes sense. But the Sharingan that appeared in Nine-Tails's eyes last night is inseparable from the Uchiha Clan, which is why we are worried."
Old fox, to put it bluntly, I am still afraid that Uchiha will control Nine-Tails to rebel.
"I asked Clan Head Fugaku about this, and they said that in order to prevent Nine-Tails from further damaging the village, their Uchiha clansmen only affected the Genjutsu released by Nine-Tails. Judging from the results, the scope of Nine-Tails's activities was indeed restricted at that time, and no further huge damage was caused to the village."
After hearing Senju Chen's nonsense reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly didn't know what to say.
Senju Chen didn't care whether Hiruzen Sarutobi believed it or not. He put down the orange peel in his hand, stood up, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward, which brought an inexplicable pressure to the senior officials present. "Lord Third and the elders, times have changed. Instead of guarding your own family against thieves, why not guard against thieves? They share the responsibility. What's more, the identity of the child is now top secret. Apart from everyone here, who knows that he is Jinchūriki? From the outside world, this is just Uchiha helping his fallen comrades to raise orphans. This reputation and trust are more important to Konoha now than anything else."
The conference room fell into a long silence.
Shikaku Nara sat at the end of the table, secretly amazed in his heart.
What a Senju Chen. This conspiracy was so beautifully done. First, he used "disaster relief" to establish his rightful name, then he used "nursing needs" to give reasons for living, and finally he used "political appeasement" to block the mouths of the senior officials. The most amazing thing is, with Danzo was doing all the dirty work before. He took advantage of the power vacuum after Danzo's downfall, leaving Third and his advisers at a loss as to how to refute him.
Mitokado Homura still wanted to struggle. "It can't be settled like this, at least it should be..."
"What should it be at least?" Senju Chen interrupted him, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "Or, as soon as Brother Minato left, you want to point fingers at the only bloodline he left? If Sister Kushina is still here, knowing that you want to send her children to the so-called 'care facility', do you think this Hokage building can still be saved?"
Senju Chen straightened up, patted the orange crumbs on his hands, and his tone returned to laziness. "Anyway, I have already sent him over, and Lady Mikoto also likes the child very much. If the elders insist on taking the child back by force, I suggest you kiss him I have left Uchiha Clan Compound. However, when the time comes to face thousands of villagers who are grateful to Uchiha, as well as Lady Mikoto who are in a state of 'overflowing maternal love', I can't guarantee where you will put your face."
This is already blatant roguery.
But unfortunately, there is nothing they can do with Senju Chen.
In terms of strength, Senju Chen's combat power is enough to make anyone fearful. In terms of reputation, he is now the leader of the Senju faction. In terms of logic, he stands on the commanding heights of morality.
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and finally sighed, "That's all. Just do what Little Chen said. However, Anbu must strengthen the monitoring of Uchiha Clan Compound and protect the son of the hero."
"That's what it should be, Lord Third is wise." Senju Chen bowed slightly, with a hint of success at the corner of his mouth.
Walking out of the Hokage building, the morning sun shines on you.
Senju Chen stretched out and was in a good mood.
Shimura Danzō was detained, Madara Uchiha died, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was obtained, Naruto became Uchiha's "third young master"...
Except for Minato Namikaze's brain suddenly convulsing, this is all the result of this "Night of the Nine-Tails".
Uchiha Clan Compound, Fugaku mansion.
Under the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, the sun shines dappledly on the corridor.
Uchiha Mikoto is holding the blond Naruto tenderly and feeding her breasts patiently. Beside her, the little Sasuke is staring with a pair of big black eyes, curiously looking at this "little yellow hair" who suddenly broke into his life.
"Wow--"
When Naruto was full, he let out a loud cry, waved his little hands randomly, and accidentally slapped Sasuke on the face.
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and then he pursed his lips and started crying in grievance.
"Oh, two little enemies." Mikoto chuckled, his eyes full of tenderness.
Uchiha Fugaku was sitting not far away, looking at this warm scene, but his heart was in turmoil.
Until now, he has not recovered from the dizzy feeling of "being hit by a huge trust". Raising Hokage's son was something he had never dared to think about before.
"Patriarch, Senju Lord Chen really handed this child over to us?" A Uchiha elite came over and asked in a low voice, his tone full of excitement.
"Be careful." Fugaku said with a serious face, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corners of his eyes. "This is Chen-kun's trust to us, and it is also the village's trust in us. From today on, anyone who dares to be rude to this child will have trouble with me, Uchiha Fugaku!"
At this time, on a High Tower outside the clan, Senju Chen was quietly watching this scene.
Sister, I have almost finished cleaning up the village for you. When you come back, it will be a brand new Konoha.
He jumped up and disappeared into the morning light.
The situation of Shinobi World is still changing, but at this moment, the ancient tree Konoha finally began to sprout new and healthy buds after experiencing a storm.
And Senju Chen was humming a tune, walking through the busy streets, preparing to eat a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen for dinner.
After all, in life, apart from fighting and scheming, there is only food that cannot be lived up to.
Moreover, the village was completely destroyed yesterday, but Ichiraku Ramen Shop was still intact, not even a single wall panel was broken off.
It's amazing...
