After Uka Senju finished explaining, she and Aburame Kaun entered the wooden room inside the cave.
Inuzuka Furin then went up and fed him a few of Brown and White's favorite treats as a reward.
She smiled and ruffled her dog's hair.
Amidst its incessant smacking of its lips and wagging tail, she finally entered the room, her face slightly flushed... and lay down fully clothed beside Uka.
A peaceful night.
Six o'clock
Just as the sun's rays began to illuminate the horizon.
Inside a cave on an unnamed mountain peak.
The three people and one dog, who had already gotten up, first retrieved the various Traps and items that had been set up outside the previous night.
Then I drank a large bowl of meat porridge prepared by an early riser.
They then began packing up their belongings.
Watching the two people putting on their gear, I realized I didn't need to go through the same trouble as them.
Uka Senju cast a Battle Armor Technique directly on herself.
After the dark green armor was fully covering his body again, he squatted down and patted the hero of the night before, saying, "Why don't you go take care of some personal matters?"
"If you need to pee while we're on the road later, we won't let you out."
Having been attacked on the head, Brown and White raised their heads to look at the white-haired villain.
After hearing the details, the dog tilted its head and thought for a moment.
It quickly got up and ran to the side to deal with a dog problem.
If even a bad person says that, then if you really encounter this situation, there's a high chance they won't let you out!
Of course, you can also choose to let him urinate directly on you.
However, the consequences could be unpredictable.
Especially when the owners are all on the side of the bad guys.
I really don't dare to do anything reckless.
Therefore, as a wise and prudent person, I am a good Ninja Dog.
It took immediate action.
A few minutes later, outside the cave, I saw two friends who were already prepared.
Uka Senju scooped up the Ninja Dog from the ground and placed it on her back.
With the help of the Furin, they found a comfortable position for everyone, and he then manipulated the armor to encase the Ninja Dog.
It felt like he was carrying a huge bag; he jumped around a bit to get used to the weight.
It doesn't seem to have any additional impact.
He then gestured to the two of them, and together they circulated their Chakra and headed towards the mountaintop.
With a few leaps, the three of them stood where the Furin had lingered the night before.
Looking at the precipice in front of her, Uka Senju clasped her hands together in preparation, just like last time.
After receiving confirmation that his teammates were ready, he controlled his Wood Release and charged out just like last time.
A sheer cliff and a rocky mountaintop made the terrain much easier for the three of them to defend.
They chose this location as their campsite because they had this method of travel in mind.
With the help of the Wood Release creation, some time was saved.
Until they landed in the forest below.
They continued their triangular journey through the forest as usual.
On the same day.
9:55 am.
Konoha, the Senju Clan Compound.
"Knock knock knock~!"
A familiar knocking sounded on the door.
While processing various File in her office, Senju Toka, dressed in Beige tribal robe, replied without looking up, "Come in!"
With permission granted, the person outside skillfully opened the office door.
But instead of going in, she stood at the door, bowed, and reported, "Clan leader, it's almost ten o'clock."
" Second Elder, Lady Mito, Sixth Elder, and the Intelligence Department have arrived at the council chamber!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice reporting the news, no immediate response was given.
After signing his Daimyō on the last page of the File in his hand.
He stood up and moved the chair away.
As Senju Toka walked towards the door, she instructed the person outside, "The black ones have been approved; remember to distribute them later."
"Yes!" He bowed and accepted the order, then waited for the clan leader to walk past him.
Senju Chiharu, dressed in light-colored casual clothes, closed the office door and quickly followed.
As they left the Government Affairs Hall, the two walked one after the other through the wooden corridor.
With a series of clattering sounds from footsteps on the wooden floor, they arrived at the entrance to the Senju Council Hall.
Upon seeing the approaching figures from afar, the two guards at the entrance pushed open the council hall doors first.
Once they were closer, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Clan Chief!"
Upon hearing the greetings from her clansmen, Senju Toka nodded slightly without hesitation and walked straight to the seat facing the main entrance.
However, Senju Chiharu stopped outside the door and took the place of the two guards.
Today's meeting is very important, so besides the people inside and her...
No other member of the tribe was allowed to approach.
Since his serious illness last time, the Second Elder had not left that Small Courtyard for a long time.
I haven't seen that familiar junior for a long time.
One of them was too busy, and the other wanted to let go.
So it wasn't until today that he finally met the current Senju Toka.
Seeing the subtle changes in the younger generation dressed in Beige tribal clothing, the Second Elder nodded with great satisfaction.
The initial decision to promote Toka was partly due to a lack of other options and the influence of Wood Release techniques.
But from the newly added allies within the village to the deployments made in various places outside the village.
Or perhaps the number of newborns in the Senju today.
These changes clearly demonstrate how wise everyone's previous decisions were.
He sat down in the first chair, the one reserved for the clan leader.
Seeing the three people about to make a move, Senju Toka immediately raised her hand to stop them, saying, "Now it's just the four of us, there's no need to go through the formalities for those unimportant things."
"I've called you all here today, especially my second uncle, because I need your advice on some issues."
" Chiharu already gave you the specific details."
"Shall we start with the first one?"
Prevented from getting up, the Second Elder and Mito Uzumaki relaxed and sat at the head of the table to listen.
Only the intelligence chief Senju Fukei, and the Sixth Elder Senju Yumi, remained frozen in place, somewhat uneasy.
After glancing at the two big shots' actions, they slowly sat down.
I had just sat down when I heard the person in the first seat say that we should start the first exercise immediately.
Intelligence chief Senju Fukei immediately prepared to get up and report.
But before he could finish his movement, he was interrupted in mid-air by the old man beside him.
Upon hearing that the first person addressed him was his second uncle, the Second Elder became more casual.
This is an unspoken rule within the Clan: using titles based on status reflects one's attitude.
Using terms of address from relatives reflects the attitude of family members.
Otherwise, if they act recklessly, the Clan rules will be challenged and broken.
Therefore, for a Clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, these etiquette rules are simply their body's instinctive reaction.
Interrupting the little one beside him, the Second Elder said with a smile, " Toka, you did very well. I also looked at the notebook that little girl Chiharu brought."
"Many of these are decisions you can make yourself, so you can decide for yourself!"
"If you feel there's anything you're unsure about and need the old folks' help, then just say so!"
"My second uncle's current health can't withstand a whole day of meetings."
