At that time, he really didn't want to help cover it up; he just wanted to expose the true nature of the Senju Clan Grounds so that they would die.
But he had just been inside that shop!
If Maki were to see her friend Senju Nobuhiko coming out from inside...
Then the reason why he went in in the first place is really hard to explain.
Even if Maki is willing to believe it.
That would ruin the atmosphere of a perfectly good date.
The guards behind him can testify to this.
But this doesn't apply unless a teacher is present during the task.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have the right to call it out.
In that situation, you become like a piece of mud that has fallen into your crotch.
Even if it's not shit, it's still shit!
If I actually did it myself, I could understand why.
He went in and sat for a while, but didn't touch anything!
However, I really didn't expect this guy to have such cunning schemes.
If it were his elder brother, Senju Nobusada have half the brains of Nobuhiko.
Then the three brothers wouldn't have been fighting for the position of eldest son for so many years.
Nobusada hadn't been struggling to win over Senju Harumi for so long!
I don't know who my bodyguard is today, nor do I know if that guy likes to talk nonsense or write whatever he wants.
That would be interesting if we also saw Senju Nobuhiko!
Of course, none of this concerns me.
As long as Maki didn't see it just now.
So even if Nobuhiko's affair comes to light...
Even if you did nothing wrong, the guards will still sensibly spread the news!
" Uka, I want to eat those fish balls."
I just arrived at Konoha's food street and saw that little stall by the gate.
Senju Maki grabbed the arm of the person next to her and expressed her idea.
"No, if you eat this, you won't eat anything else in the shop later." Without agreeing to the request, Uka Senju continued walking forward.
I spent over a year with Maki.
He already knew about Maki's hobbies and flaws.
This girl is wonderful and sensible in every way.
But I really love eating it, and that's exactly my problem!
There's nothing wrong with liking this particular food, regardless of whether you're subject to spending restrictions.
I can fulfill her food desires, and I can always do it.
But that's precisely where her problem lies.
Just like these fish balls, he bought them once he agreed to Maki's request.
Then she'll want to eat at every food stall she passes by.
If she actually ate them, that would be one thing, but every time she buys Maki, she only eats one to try!
And the remaining large bag would be stuffed entirely into his own hands.
I also have an obsessive-compulsive disorder about not liking to waste food.
This results in us going out on dates and eating out, but the real main course never even arrives.
I was so full of snacks that I had no appetite left!
They even had to watch helplessly as Maki showed off all by herself.
And you also have to endure her occasional psychological attack, "Why aren't you eating?"
If he didn't know this girl's personality well enough, he would have really suspected that Maki did it on purpose!
After being rejected, Senju Maki did not make the request again.
It's only when keeping up with the pace of the person next to me.
The scent made her unable to resist turning around to look.
Once, twice, three times... I couldn't stand those big blue eyes staring at me.
I also can't stand the way Maki looks when she turns around.
Uka Senju turned and headed towards the fish ball stall.
There's nothing we can do; we're already engaged, so there's no way to back out.
As for one's own wife, one can only accept both the good and the bad with her.
However, it looks like we won't be able to have a big meal tonight!
Muttering to himself, he walked up to the stall.
He pulled out a 30-tael silver note and handed it over, saying, "One serving of fish balls, half spicy and half non-spicy."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The boss, a skinny man in his fifties who looked like a monkey, said with a fawning smile.
After accepting the money, he first went to the side and washed his hands with water.
I took a pair of very clean gloves from the cabinet and put them on.
The fish balls were taken out of a sealed box, and then the small soup pot specially made for Ninja was opened before the cooking began.
That's why his stall was able to be placed near the entrance.
Because there has always been a clear distinction here.
The Ninja ' and the Commoners ' are made in two different pots and with two different ingredients.
Everything given to the Ninja was the freshest, cleanest, and best.
Of course, this means that the portion bought by the Ninja would be a few taels of silver more expensive than that bought by the Commoners.
However, for Ninja, even a Genin (except for those like Naruto who only feel gratitude after experiencing hardship) is considered a genin.
They really don't care about the service and things they get in return for those few taels!
Beside her, he held Uka's arm.
Watching him skillfully order food, and seeing him both refuse and agree.
Senju Maki couldn't help but smile as she expressed her joy.
She was aware of her problem.
To put it bluntly, this problem was caused by her family spoiling her.
Her family had spoken to her before, but after she went out with Uka a few times...
She just doesn't want to change this habit!
Because she likes to see Uka like this.
The sensation in her arm told Uka Senju that the person beside her was happy.
He pulled him into his arms, vigorously ruffled the reddish-brown head, and warned, "You're not allowed to take anything else but this. We finally earned some money, let's go have a good meal."
"The seafood I ordered today is supposedly sourced from the Land of Water, specifically from deep-sea products."
"If you don't let me eat, I'm not taking you home today!"
Hearing the threat in her ear, Senju Maki nuzzled her head against Uka's chest in protest.
But then I thought about how Uka hadn't come back for a long time, and how it wouldn't do for her not to come home.
So she decided that she should resist the urge to buy too much later, leaving some for Uka's stomach.
However, this is still not good.
The best way is to get married and have several children yourself.
Then, by taking care of the children, neither Uka nor anyone else will feel bad.
Thinking of this, she felt her face heat up even more.
She quickly hid her face in Uka's blind spot, behind her neck!
After dividing and seasoning the cooked food according to the instructions, the stall owner carried it to the two men with both hands, bowing his head and cautiously saying, "Sir, it's all prepared according to your request."
Hearing the sound, he took the item with his free hand and nodded to the shopkeeper.
Uka Senju patted her head on her neck and said, "The food is ready, eat quickly before it gets cold and the taste is bad!"
"Mmm." It shook its head and responded with a sound through its nose.
Senju Maki stood up and took the things from Uka's hands.
After trying one of each, she began to focus on feeding her Fiancé!
Uka Senju held her protectively in his arms, habitually opening his mouth to eat while subtly increasing his pace.
I had just dropped the box and taken a few steps.
Senju Maki then noticed the small stall on the side.
She quickly grabbed the hand that was holding her.
As she swayed, she said expectantly, " Uka, I want to eat takoyaki."
"No way!" Before she could even swallow what was in her mouth, Uka Senju refused decisively upon hearing this.
For a moment, under the gaze of those eyes.
"Boss, half a portion of each topping for the takoyaki!" he said, his voice full of helplessness.
"Yes, sir."
"..."
Slow down your eating speed and quicken your walking pace.
Fortunately, the shop was located in the middle of the food street, which allowed Uka Senju to reach her destination after eating only three snacks.
Upon seeing the two people dressed in the attire of the Senju tribe enter, the owner, who had been flirting with the cashier behind the counter, quickly got up and came over.
He bowed respectfully to the white-haired youth at the head of the group before saying enthusiastically, " Lord Uka, Lord Maki, your private room is upstairs. I will show you the way."
"Good!"
After receiving permission, the enthusiastic shop owner, whose height and weight were almost identical to the customer's, quickly led the way.
I went up the stairs and came to the innermost private room by the window.
He opened the door ahead of time and welcomed the two inside.
The shop owner, standing by the door, continued in his enthusiastic voice, "Gentlemen, I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Would you like them served now, or would you like some tea first?"
After consulting with Maki, Uka Senju nodded at the person at the door and said, "Let's go now."
"Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away. Please have a seat." After saying this, the shop owner bowed and left the room, closing the door behind him.
The previous movements were slow and rhythmic, but once the door was closed...
The shop owner immediately ran downstairs at a speed beyond his years, shouting to his men, "Get everything ready for me!"
"Kitchen staff, give the old man a push! He'll reward you if he does a good job."
"Yes, boss!"
You just wait and see!
"Your satisfaction is guaranteed!"
Several chefs, who had previously heard the boss's instructions, echoed this sentiment.
Sitting in the private room, I noticed the boss's walking speed and attitude.
Looking at Uka beside her, Senju Maki asked with some curiosity, "Whose relative owns this shop?"
She didn't ask who they were, why they were being so enthusiastic, or how they knew their names.
Instead, they went straight to the heart of the matter: whose family owns it!
Because this street is the domain of the Senju.
In other words, all the shops on this street are rented from the Senju Clan.
This is the fundamental reason why she loves coming to this street to eat with Uka!
Hearing the question beside her, Uka Senju smiled and asked in return, "You're at home, and you didn't know?"
???
Three question marks popped into her mind one after another, Senju Maki somewhat bewildered.
But she guessed that this person must be someone she knew well, or that something about that person had been trending recently.
Only in this way would Uka use this tone.
And Uka should have learned of this news during this trip back to the village!
Maki, looking at him with a head Maki of question marks, began to ponder.
Without letting her guess, Uka Senju revealed the answer directly, "This shop is owned by the brother of Senju Nobutada's third wife, Senju Nobuhiro's younger brother."
"And those specialties from the Land of Water were also obtained by this boss through his sister's brother-in-law, who in turn contacted Senju Nobutada, and then Shin'i- in through the Trade Association!"
He deliberately didn't pause, and deliberately did it both ways.
I just wanted to see if the little head next to me could turn the page.
Anyway, he did sort it out a little when he first heard it.
Upon hearing Uka's answer, Senju Maki's reddish-brown eyebrows immediately furrowed.
She silently counted on her fingers in her mind, then rolled her eyes at the smiling man beside her and said, "Why don't you just say you're Senju Nobuhiro's wife's brother?"
"What does this have to do with Uncle Shin'i?"
Upon hearing this, Uka Senju immediately repeated the line she had been rebuked in the cafeteria earlier that day, "Even if you don't mention Uncle Shin'i, can you guess who Nobuhiro is?"
"And how can it have nothing to do with Uncle Shin'i?"
"If we don't tell Uncle Shin'i, the origin of the aquatic products won't be clear!"
Upon hearing this, Senju Maki thought to herself, 'Oh, right!'
For some reason, the Senju Clan seems to favor the name Senju Nobuhiro; there are currently three living members of the family using it.
And they're all from the same lineage!
But then she realized the problem and bumped her head against the shoulder next to her, saying, "If you had just said I was the laziest one, I would have known!"
"You're deliberately trying to mislead me."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Uka's hand somewhat reluctantly.
The two bickered for a while before separating when there was a knock on the door.
With Maki's lips slightly red, Uka's reply.
The door opened, and twenty dishes made with various deep-sea fish were served on the table.
After setting everything up, I learned about this gentleman's preferences beforehand.
The shop owner, who was already prepared, placed a bottle of freshly squeezed juice on the table and said enthusiastically, "Gentlemen, due to the number of people, I have prepared a large quantity for you in small quantities."
"After you two try the dishes, if you like any of them, just let me know and I'll bring them to you right away."
I glanced at the table and saw what the shop owner had said, "Mostly in small quantities."
There were indeed many dishes; twenty dishes for two people.
However, the quantity is not small, if calculated according to Uka's quantity.
These together are enough for at least five of him to eat.
Sensing the shop owner's good intentions, Uka Senju nodded in satisfaction, looked at the doorway, and said softly, "Very good, you can go and do your work now!"
"Just focus on doing business well."
Upon hearing this, the shop owner instinctively clenched his fists.
He forced back his joy, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Yes, sir, please continue with your meal. I won't disturb you any longer."
After speaking, he bowed and slowly left the room, closing the door behind him.
When the door to one of the best private rooms closed.
The shop owner could no longer contain his smile.
My brother-in-law gave me a great opportunity today, and thankfully he didn't falter at all.
That's what that person just said.
This business is fine as long as you don't do anything reckless or foolish.
That means no one can take it away from it, and no one can touch it!
As long as he has this, he is confident that he can revive the Clan.
Everything that nobleman took away.
He has a chance to earn it back here!
When he advised his younger sister to willingly marry someone seventeen years her senior, he felt very distressed and uneasy.
It was a last resort at the time, a choice made only to avoid being hunted down.
But now it seems that this investment was incredibly worthwhile!
Not only did they escape the pursuit, they also gained a chance to turn the tide.
From this perspective, the 10% of the shop's value that was previously set aside as the sister's dowry was far too little.
My brother-in-law has done me such a big favor.
Then at least 30% should be given to the younger sister.
With this steady stream of money...
Even if the younger sister can't surpass the wife, she's at least second in rank!
Only if her younger sister gains a foothold can she continue to enjoy protection.
Ignoring the feelings of the person outside the door, inside the private room...
Looking at the person who said those words, Senju Maki asked with some curiosity, "Did Uncle Shin'i come looking for you?"
She asked that question because she knew the weight of what Uka had said.
Given his current status and position, as long as that fat man behaves himself and doesn't cause trouble, he'll be fine.
Then it's almost certain that you'll be wealthy and noble throughout your life.
This street belongs to the Senju, which means unless the Senju fall...
Otherwise, no one would come here to cause trouble!
This is why this street, despite having the highest rent in Konoha, is still packed with people.
Therefore, under the control of the Senju, the only source of trouble for someone is almost entirely within the Senju itself.
Of course, the Senju Ninja wouldn't consider this.
But even among the Senju, there are ordinary people, dependents, and people like the shop owner.
After Uka's words, ordinary people from the same clan and those with connections certainly wouldn't dare to touch her.
The Ninja ahead were even less likely to get involved in such trouble!
Swallowing a piece of fish, Uka Senju understood what her companion meant, shook her head, and said with a smile, "Uncle Shin'i didn't look for me, but I happened to run into Nobuhiro at lunchtime in the cafeteria."
He came over and invited me to come sit down. I thought about it and figured it wouldn't hurt, so I went over to check it out.
"I just thought the shop owner was capable, so saying that wasn't a big deal."
"Anyway, if something really happens, Nobuhiro will go to Uncle Shin'i and then end up here with me, won't he?"
"Then why not just say it now, to avoid trouble and also to calm your mind?"
He picked up a slice of fish and fed it to the girl, smiling as he said, "Doesn't it taste good?"
"Mmm!" Maki nodded as she savored the food.
"Just like these fish slices, it's affordable and inexpensive, isn't that great!" After saying that, Uka Senju smiled and leaned in to kiss his lovely Fiancée.
Ever since I took that little sword from the Second Elder last time.
As the owner of the small sword, the affairs of the Soratate Branch naturally fell to him.
Of course, since he is currently on missions outside the area, most of the affairs are still being handled by the Second Elder.
But the Second Elder was getting old after all.
He's capable of handling important matters, so the smaller tasks are naturally left for Uka to practice on.
The head of a lineage has quite a few things to manage.
From major Clan decisions to trivial matters between individual families within a lineage.
With rights come obligations.
If a member of a clan encounters a problem, then the Head of the Branch naturally needs to step forward and resolve it.
That's why he said that if something goes wrong, he'll ultimately find the reason in himself!
Although Senju Nobuhiro is a good-for-nothing, he has a great older brother.
And this guy is now considered a prominent contributor to the Senju's major undertaking of 'reproduction' over the past two years!
As someone who has given birth to ten people for the Soratate Branch, with two more still in the womb.
Considering both sides, it's only natural that he, as the Head of the Branch, would speak up and protect her at her request!
After swallowing the various delicious foods that Uka fed her, Senju Maki suddenly remembered something her father had mentioned about the family when she returned home last night.
She refused any more food offered to her and tugged at the hand resting on her lap to get Uka's attention.
Her clear voice rang out, " Uka, my dad asked me to ask you, what method did your Soratate use?"
"Why are there so many weddings in your area this past month?"
"Some people are even on the Front Line, yet new family members are joining their households?"
Upon hearing this, Uka Senju immediately recalled what had happened a month ago.
When I was talking to the Second Elder, I heard the old man's question and then realized it was the terrible idea I had given him!
He smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, " Unsei, why are you asking this?"
"Has he fallen for him too?"
"Smack!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Understanding the hidden meaning in the words, Senju Maki gently slapped the back of the hand of the person next to her who was talking nonsense.
Her parents have a very good relationship.
Moreover, she felt that her father was not the kind of person who would find her a stepmother!
This rascal, while touching his own leg, deliberately dug a hole for himself while asking a question.
I should have known better than to wear shorts today.
After muttering a few irritating words to herself, she rolled her eyes at the person who was laughing happily before explaining the reason, "Grandpa isn't home, so my dad is handling Ban'an's affairs now."
"Isn't this because he saw you guys going crazy trying to meet your 'birth control' targets?"
"That's why I asked you to find out what's going on. My dad said that in Ban'an, for some reason, there's been no news about childbirth, remarriage, or finding a son-in-law."
"It's been over a year, and it's still the same. My dad is really worried sick!"
After explaining the reason, she looked at the person opposite her with her big eyes, grabbed his arm, and gently shook it.
Knowing the meaning of the actions, Uka Senju smiled and then whispered in her ear about the current operations on Soratate's side.
Actually, it's quite simple: just find each person one by one to understand their situation.
If you truly resist and have no desire to get married and have children, then forget about it.
If it's that kind of ambiguous...
Then we'll use some tricks to give you a way out, so you can come down immediately.
As for how to provide the steps, that depends on the specific person and will be determined according to different plans.
For example, there's only one solution for most men.
If you don't marry him, rumors about your sexual problems will spread throughout your Clan and village tomorrow.
The rumor was so persuasive that anyone who read it would believe it to be true.
In addition to reporting rumors, witness testimonies will also be provided as needed.
Of course, some problems may arise with the witnesses.
In a world with limited entertainment options, gossip is a source of amusement for most people.
This is the only method we've used ever since the first victim who didn't believe in it appeared.
Those ambiguous people behind them.
Eighty percent of the time, after a heart-to-heart talk, the person would voluntarily take a concubine!
The first victim, it is said, married three women in one go.
On his wedding day, he even made a bold statement that his family would have three children by this time next year, to refute those rumors!
Upon hearing about the method Uka and the others used, Senju Maki immediately knew who the first victim was.
That person has been the one providing the topic of "the Senju, the more powerful your hands become" for the past month.
She and her friends had gossiped about it before and all thought it was true.
They also felt that the guy had later married three more women, which they believed was a betrayal of the three girls!
But... who would have thought that this person was the subject of a rumor spread by their own family?
But the medical-nin's medical report, witness testimonies from outside shops, and the drunken honest words of comrades...
Thinking of the evidence, and knowing the truth, she quickly discovered the problem by working backward.
These all seem to be within the Senju's capabilities.
So they fabricate real and fake things.
It's definitely possible!
But this method is a bit too... outrageous... isn't it?
Seeing Maki's wide eyes, which first showed disbelief and then turned into 'How could you be so mean!'
Uka Senju, guessing what she was thinking, quickly explained with a smile, "This was all done by the Second Elder, and it was his own fault."
"I only learned the truth today. According to the Second Elder, after talking with that guy, he discovered that he was very willing."
"If we had gone to talk to him later, he probably would have found someone else himself. If we had gone this far, none of this would have happened."
"But when that guy saw that even the Second Elder was trying to persuade him, he got the idea to try and get some compensation from the Second Elder."
"You tell me, how could this be? So the Second Elder just killed him like a chicken!"
Having learned the truth from Uka, Senju Maki couldn't help but nod and say, "Serves him right."
The Clan is providing so many benefits these days.
To put it bluntly, this is about getting himself a wife and enjoying the benefits!
It's not like we did anything else, how dare they ask for compensation?
People who behave like this really deserve to be taught a lesson.
Seeing that Maki understood, Uka Senju rubbed her thigh with her left hand and said with a smile, "Eat quickly, the same rice feeds a hundred different people."
"Just listen to what those kinds of guys say and treat it as entertainment."
After learning the truth, he didn't think the Second Elder had done anything wrong.
They're just killing it like a chicken!
Of course, it's also because this person is just a nobody on the fringes of the Senju.
Otherwise, there would be no way they would let them go so easily!
The methods and benefits used by the Clan are, frankly speaking, just to encourage childbirth; there is no coercion involved.
If you really don't want to, then no one will force you.
But you clearly did it willingly, yet you still want to use this to ask your family for more money?
The childbirth subsidy has already been listed; isn't that enough? Do you want more?
From small things, we can see big things!
If such a person is in a key position, it gives them an opportunity.
Is it certain that one would betray their Clan for better and higher rewards?
Anyway, after learning about this person's situation, in Uka Senju's heart, this person and this person's descendants...
For now, they've been labeled as untrustworthy.
Unless their offspring do something useful for the Clan in the future.
Otherwise, the edge within a few generations is certain!
The next morning at six o'clock.
After spending time together at home until around 10 p. m. last night, Uka Senju, who had just dropped Maki off at home, slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the familiar wooden roof above,
Thinking about what he had to do today, he didn't go against his biological clock and sleep until noon like he did yesterday.
Instead, after pausing for a moment, she crawled out of the covers and stretched out a big yawn!
After a quick brushing of my teeth and washing my face in the bathroom to refresh myself, I put on my usual training clothes.
He then stepped downstairs and arrived at the Training Ground in the backyard.
Breathing in the fresh air of the forest at six o'clock.
As the movements in his hands gradually changed, he felt every pore on his body open up.
My heart gradually settled into a state of tranquility!
One hour later.
When the indicator reaches seven points.
Uka Senju returned to his room wearing clothes that were already soaked with sweat.
"Go wash them quickly, then come down for dinner." Senju Toka gently instructed, placing the eggs on the table as she watched the person enter the living room.
"Okay." After nodding in response, Uka Senju went straight up the stairs.
A simple rinse, and the Chakra evaporates the moisture from the body.
After taking out a set of Senju's most common Beige casual clothes from the wardrobe and changing into them.
Looking at the person with sharp features, defined face, and long white hair reflected in the long mirror on the wardrobe door.
He raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, inwardly praising the handsomeness of the face!
It's a pity that despite having such a handsome face, he's only a little over 1.5 meters tall.
Senju Maki always has to change into flat shoes when she goes out with him.
If they were standing and hugging, Maki would have to spread her legs slightly and not stand up straight!
Although I know this is because I am still young and not fully developed.
But for someone who is mentally over thirty...
He felt quite uncomfortable when he realized this!
Tie up her long white hair with a black hair tie as usual.
He then set off downstairs towards the restaurant.
Looking at my Aunt who had already started eating, and the extremely simple breakfast on the plate because Chiharu wasn't there!
While his heart was filled with longing for Chiharu once more, he forced himself to eat without showing any emotion.
After the meal, I walked towards the Government Affairs Hall.
Stepping on the Stone Slab path, Senju Toka responded to the greetings of her clansmen while softly saying to the person beside her, "Although the Second Elder left you with some trivial matters that don't affect the overall situation, these are all rather troublesome or old stories."
"This is your first time handling matters Soratate Branch. Later, ask your subordinates for their opinions, and remember to listen more and speak less."
"And once a decision is made, don't let a few words change your mind."
Don't let others think you're easily swayed!
While smiling and responding to the enthusiasm of her clansmen, Uka Senju listened to her Aunt's teachings.
After understanding the meaning behind her words, he nodded and said, "Okay, Aunt, don't worry!"
Upon hearing this, Senju Toka said nothing more and walked towards the Government Affairs Hall on her own.
She didn't care whether Uka truly understood what she had said before.
Just as she said, all the Second Elder left behind were trivial old stories.
It's the kind of situation where everyone has their own reasons, and it's all just endless bickering.
Even if the nephew is wrong in this matter, it's not a big deal.
However, there's a point she gave at the end that could cause problems if her nephew doesn't listen.
I learned my lesson from being bothered by those annoying things later on.
Then the nephew naturally understood why he couldn't be easily swayed by others!
Along the way, greeted by the clansmen, the two crossed the square and arrived at the Government Affairs Hall.
As soon as I arrived at the main gate, someone seemed to have been waiting there all along.
The black-haired woman, dressed in Beige casual clothes, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Clan Chief, greetings, Lord Uka."
"No need for formalities, I'm sorry to Yūka." Seeing the woman bowing, Senju Toka smiled and extended her hand to help her up.
"You're Yūka is supposed to do," the black-haired woman said quickly, bowing slightly as she performed the proper greeting.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy!" After replying with a smile, Senju Toka glanced at her nephew beside her before walking straight towards her office.
"Yes!" Stepping aside, Senju Yūka bowed again in farewell.
Until the clan leader's figure disappeared around the corner.
The black-haired Senju Yūka stood up and gestured softly to Uka beside her, saying, " Lord Uka, this way please."
"Okay!" he replied, bowing slightly in thanks.
Uka Senju then stepped forward and walked in the direction the woman had indicated.
Closely following, only half a body length behind.
As Senju Yūka led Uka forward, she gently explained the situation of the Government Affairs Hall to her.
Currently, all affairs of the Senju and the alliance are handled in this hall.
The area to the left of the entrance, occupying about one-third of the main hall, is where internal affairs are handled.
This place has a total of nine offices of various sizes.
The three main branches and one secondary branch are arranged according to a pattern of one large, one medium, and one small branch.
The smaller rooms are for the Head of the Branch, while the larger rooms are for the staff of each branch.
Medium-sized offices are multi-person offices for important departments such as finance and funds.
An office will be set up for the Head of the Branch; this is due to the unique system of the Senju.
The three main branches, along with the various departments within the clan, constitute the power structure of the Senju.
Internal departments are generally responsible for all external affairs.
The offices of the Three Families are responsible for the specific affairs of the Senju Clan Members!
Matters such as annual welfare payments, staff ranking, birth, aging, illness, death, and work.
All of this was done by the office staff on the Head of the Branch's side.
For example, welfare payments are usually distributed within the clan based on reports from each branch.
Once the funds arrive, the office will arrange for staff to distribute them to each member of the clan.
Of course, in addition to what was mentioned above, the offices of each branch are also responsible for population statistics, follow-up on Clan Meeting affairs, and resolving internal affairs of the branch.
The formation and training of an internal Ninja Large Unit... and everything else.
In any case, anything concerning the Senju Clan Members can be under the jurisdiction of the Three Veins Office.
Soon, following Yūka's guidance, Uka Senju entered the small office belonging to the Soratate Branch.
Looking around, this is what is called a small office.
Converted to its previous life's area, it seems to be several tens of square meters!
Inside, there's a reception area with a sofa and tea table, an office area, a washroom, and a small Lounge at the very back with a single bed!
After a general tour with Yūka, Uka Senju rejected the suggestion to make changes.
He sat down in the seat that belonged to the leader of the Soratate Branch.
Looking at the File on the table, he frowned and asked the woman in front of him, a woman in her thirties, "Sister Yūka, do all of these need to be resolved today?"
I talked with the Second Elder yesterday, and I also listened to my Aunt's teachings this morning.
He had thought he was here today to deal with the internal strife within the Soratate Branch.
Surprisingly, there was a stack of File about 80 centimeters high piled on the table.
Nodding in response, Senju Yūka flashed the signature smile of the Shinobi Clan and explained, " Lord Uka, these File have been verified. All you need to do is stamp your approval and then enter them into the File."
"I already informed you yesterday that you'd be working today, and people should start arriving gradually from around 10 AM."
Having received a reply, Uka Senju took a file directly from the top of File pile and began to examine it.
Senju Yūka said that it had already been confirmed, and all that was needed was for her to use her seal.
But he also needs to see who confirmed it, or rather, what the general contents of these File are.
Otherwise, if trouble arises later, the person who used the seal will be in a difficult position to explain!
Moreover, being a rubber stamp is not his preferred style.
Either don't come at all, or if you do come, you must look carefully!
Opening the first File, which resembled a 'marriage registration information form' from her previous life Uka Senju began to browse its contents.
This document records family information for people who got married within the past month. After roughly flipping through these thirty-odd documents...
He took out his own and Soratate's seals from his bag and left his mark on each document.
According to the concept of my previous life, once this thing is stamped, it means that it has received official recognition.
This means that these people's welfare payments will begin next month.
Furthermore, this marriage will be protected by the Senju.
And so, Uka Senju began her first office career in the Shinobi World.
He began browsing through the stack of File, which was eighty centimeters high, starting with things like marriage registration and Ninja rank promotions.
Standing to the side, seeing Uka's actions, Senju Yūka, maintaining her Shinobi Clan smile, quietly moved out of the room.
"Sister Yūka, how is our little Head of the Branch?" In the large office, a young woman in her twenties looked up and asked with a curious smile as she saw Senju Yūka enter.
I thought about Uka's behavior after she went in.
As she walked into the tea room, she peeled and juiced an orange that Uka had brought according to her preferences.
With a genuine smile, Senju Yūka replied to her gossipy cousin, "So far, she's doing quite well; at least she's not lazy!"
Hearing this, an old man who was engrossed in writing nearby laughed and said, "Haha, that's good. Anyway, he's still young and can learn. Diligence is a good thing."
"Yes, yes, yes." The young woman in her twenties quickly responded to her uncle's words, then added with a smile, "Then we've passed the first round. Now we'll see how our young Head of the Branch handles things when those people arrive."
After finishing her amused remarks, she smiled and said to Yūka, " Yūka, you guys are pretty ruthless. I heard yesterday that you even arranged for that most difficult one to handle?"
"Be careful someone hears this and comes up to tear your mouth apart. Don't talk nonsense. It wasn't my arrangement. I'm just someone who does things!" Senju Yūka quickly said, remembering the Second Elder's arrangement, as she put the peeled orange into the machine.
Yesterday, when she saw the things that the Second Elder had specifically circled, and the most difficult and messy one...
She was also a little confused!
After all, these things, especially the last one.
The people involved have been arguing for quite some time now.
She was aware of the specific details.
That's a situation where all sides have a point, and then things get mixed up and explode over time, becoming completely unsolvable.
She truly hadn't expected that the Second Elder would be there on Uka's first day of work.
They arranged such a wonderful program for us!
Considering how troublesome the last case would be, she quickly told the dozen or so young people in the office, "Listen up, and come over immediately if you sense anything is wrong."
"Don't let the young Head of the Branch do it himself, things will get complicated if that happens!"
"They actually took action? They can go this far?" A woman in her thirties, dressed in black casual clothes, looked at the tea room with disbelief.
She only recently returned to work.
But when I was chatting with my girlfriends during a break from training a while ago, I heard about those companies.
Although she hadn't seen the official File, she had a general understanding of the situation based on various gossips!
It is indeed a very difficult and troublesome matter.
If not handled properly, both sides will complain and neither will be willing to accept it.
