I stood quietly to the side and listened to the old man's teachings.
Uka Senju nodded heavily, keeping the words in mind.
The old man's words can be summarized as that of the boss. "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me!"
However, this statement also reflects his current situation.
Furthermore, since Lord Kofu specifically instructed him on this, he was probably not afraid of outsiders.
Rather, like those who sleep with their bosses, they are afraid of the people around them or those they trust.
Seeing that the boy understood, the Second Elder relaxed and smiled, saying to the Young Man on the other side, "Go and get the things!"
"Yes!" Hayata Senju responded and turned to walk into the room.
Hearing the conversation and actions of the two, Uka Senju looked at the old man with some confusion.
Seeing that Uncle Kofu was smiling but not answering, he turned his gaze to the Young Man had entered the room.
The only descendant of the patriarch's family entered the room less than five seconds later.
Then he came over carrying a Hengdao and a small box.
Upon seeing what her cousin was holding, Uka Senju immediately guessed that it must be a gift prepared for her by Uncle Kofu.
However, the Hengdao is simple, but what's inside that box?
Sensing the boy's curiosity, Hayata Senju chuckled and tossed his Hengdao to him with a slight movement of his left hand, saying, "Here, catch!"
As he took the knife, he handed the box in his right hand to his grandfather, who was reclining in a chair.
Uka Senju took the Hengdao that her cousin Hayata tossed to her, and lightly flicked the hilt with her left thumb.
With a crisp metallic clang, the knife suddenly shot upwards, revealing half of its silver and black body.
Looking at the cloud-like patterns and craftsmanship on the blade, I felt the high-speed conduction of Chakra after it was inputted.
A satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
She placed the box given to her by her grandson on her lap, gently stroking it with both hands.
Seeing the excited look on the boy's face after receiving the sword, the Second Elder smiled and explained, "This sword was made by a master craftsman from the Land of Iron, and it contains a large amount of Chakra Metal and the finest meteorite iron in the Shinobi World."
"This is a gift jointly funded by the clan and the Soratate Branch. Unless you break through to the level of Hashirama, this sword will be enough for you to use for a lifetime!"
"The sword's name is ' Cloud Cutter.' If you don't like the name, go to the weapon workshop and have a craftsman change it for you. Anyway, the name is engraved on the hilt, so the weapon workshop should be able to change it."
Cloud Cutter! Cloud Cutter! Cloud Cutter!
Listening to Kofu Bogong's explanation, and hearing the name of the Hengdao in his hand.
Thinking about the cause of her parents' death in this life, Uka Senju's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
He still remembers his Aunt as a beautiful and gentle young woman before she took over his life.
I also remember how flustered and happy she was when she became a mother for the first time, taking care of herself.
Don't rush, don't rush, there will definitely be a day when Cloud Cutter!
He gently pushed the sword back into its sheath with his right hand, and a smile returned to his face as he said, "Thank you very much, Uncle and all the elders of the clan. I will use it well!"
"No need to change the sword's name, I like it very much."
Hmm... it's so easy to talk to smart people!
As he was filled with emotion, the Second Elder opened the wooden box on his lap again.
After taking out a small sword of unknown material from inside.
He handed it to Uka along with the wooden box and explained, "This sword is the witness and seal of the Soratate Branch. It should have been given to Toka, and then Toka gave it to you."
"But now that she's the clan leader, this sword will be entrusted to you for safekeeping!"
"Although it has no other use, it is the proof of the Senju lineage given to us by our ancestors a thousand years ago, so you must keep it safe and pass it on to your and Chiharu's child in the future!"
After hearing about the sword's origin and purpose, Uka Senju solemnly examined the small sword a few times.
They quickly put it back into the wooden box.
This thing can't really help him right now, but Soratate Branch.
It holds great significance within a large Clan, so it must be treated with utmost care.
After explaining everything, the Second Elder breathed a long sigh of relief.
After Uka finished packing her things, the three of them began to chat and reminisce as family.
After a long while, time slowly ticked down to 12 o'clock.
After having lunch at the Second Elder's house, and then settling the somewhat sleepy elderly person in, we...
Uka Senju then carried the things and walked towards the door.
Following the corridor, we passed through the deserted Training Ground and just arrived at the garden.
After confirming that no one was around, the young man who had given him the Young Man suddenly spoke up, " Uka, that little sword has another use."
Upon hearing her cousin's words, Uka Senju stopped and waited for his explanation.
"After the death of Tobirama, the Soratate Branch established a small base outside, which differs from the current Clan's training methods."
"We only select individuals with exceptional talent for training, so in eight years, the base has produced three Elite Jonin, thirty-one Jonin, and sixty Elite Chunin."
"This matter was previously handled by Aunt Toka, but after she became the clan leader, I took over!"
As the boy's pupils widened, Hayata Senju secretly felt a surge of satisfaction.
Finally, someone else had the same expression as me when I first learned everything!
I have to say, Grandpa and my cousin really... think things through!
Or is this the unique talent of the Soratate Branch?
Before the boy's shock subsided, he continued, "That wooden sword is the seal used to mobilize these people. Grandpa is giving it to you today, so from today onwards, you have command of this unit."
"As for loyalty, you can rest assured, because these people have been successfully trained; they will obey orders without question."
"So you must keep your sword safe and don't lose it!"
At this point, Hayata Senju took out three Scroll from his pocket and handed them to Uka, saying, "The green Scroll contains the hand seals for Cursed Seal seal. Remember to destroy it after you've memorized it."
"The purple Scroll contains all the information about the base and the ninety-four Ninja. Remember to destroy it after you've memorized it."
"The blue Scroll represent a group of summoned beasts secretly cultivated by Soratate. They have little combat ability, but they are extremely adept at transmitting intelligence."
"After you sign the contract, if you need to contact me or need help, you can use this contact information!"
After hearing the information from her cousin, Uka Senju took the Scroll that was handed to her in a daze.
Looking at what he held in his hand, all he could think was that Soratate truly lived up to his reputation as someone who had rebelled.
Lord Kofu truly lives up to his reputation for living so long!
Tobirama just died, Soratate is already making preparations?
This is a Large Unit force, although compared to the Senju ' Large Unit, this group of ordinary people can at most be counted as half.
But this force is not insignificant.
However, since these cunning and shrewd people are on our side, then there's no problem.
The boy and the Young Man, the older cousin and the younger cousin, exchanged a glance unconsciously.
They both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and while admiring each other, they also felt fortunate.
