Thanks to Tsubasa's tireless research, the Medicine King Pavilion has been completely transformed. The once deserted pavilion is now filled with a rich aroma of medicine, and the bottles and jars are filled with life-saving treasures. A Rejuvenation Pill, when placed in the mouth of a seriously wounded person, will cause the previously bloody and mangled wounds to begin healing in the blink of an eye, sending chills down the spine of onlookers; the Bone-Mending Pill is even more miraculous, as if the bones of a person with broken bones are growing back, making a cracking sound; Pain-Relief Pill is the most amazing, as soon as a person in excruciating pain takes it, their brows immediately relax and their eyes become clear.
The weapon shop was also bustling with activity, its shelves filled with uniquely designed weapons and armor. The crescent-shaped scimitar gleamed coldly, its blade flashing like the moon streaking across the night sky – both cool and terrifying. The Mandarin Duck Swords were designed for perfect coordination; when combined, their power doubled. The Judge's Pen was so sharp it reflected light; a casual thrust could strike a vital point. Moreover, these weapons weren't just for show; each one concealed a practical Ninjutsu, ready to be unleashed at a crucial moment, its power enough to terrify anyone.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these three years, Konoha enjoyed a rare period of peace and tranquility. In August of the eighth year of Konoha, Princess Tsunade was born. Hashirama Senju was overjoyed and took her with him, praising her to everyone he met as the Mirai hope of Konoha, his eyes full of love and expectation.
Meanwhile, under Tian Flying Swallow's leadership, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Tower swept across major cities nationwide like a whirlwind. Who would have thought that this princess of the Land of Fire would be so shrewd in business! After discussing the modern branch opening model with Tsubasa, Tian Flying Swallow immediately took action. She rushed to the Land of Fire's daimyo, rattling off her plan with confidence, her eyes gleaming with conviction. The daimyo was impressed by her enthusiasm and ideas, waving his hand and saying, "Princess, your idea is very novel. I fully support you!"
With the daimyo's support, Tian Flying Swallow felt even more confident. She gathered the commoners of the Land of Fire and trained them step by step. From how to greet customers with a smile to how to manage the merchandise in an orderly manner, she paid attention to every detail. With a serious expression, she said to everyone, "Remember, customers are our bread and butter, so we must serve them wholeheartedly." Her eyes were both authoritative and full of concern for everyone.
Every time Tsubasa returned from Shikkotsu Forest, he would transform into Hashirama Senju and travel with Tian Flying Swallow to other cities to establish branch stores. The two of them braved wind and rain, traveling to more than a hundred cities in the Land of Fire. In each place they arrived, they were surrounded by crowds of local people who were both curious and excited, giving them a warm welcome.
Phoenix Tower isn't just a regular restaurant and lodging place; it also has a supermarket. This supermarket targets the average consumer, offering items at much lower prices than elsewhere. Soon, the supermarket entrance was packed with people, all happily saying, " Phoenix Tower's products are both cheap and good; we'll shop here from now on!"
Under the protection of the Land of Fire Daimyo and the Hokage Village ninja, Phoenix Tower grew increasingly powerful, becoming the most influential business conglomerate in the Land of Fire. Other families had to cooperate with Phoenix Tower and use Phoenix Tower network to barely survive. However, great success attracts envy, and Phoenix Tower's success aroused the jealousy of many families. Just when Phoenix Tower was at its peak, the Ten Family suddenly announced a major decision: to divide Phoenix Tower's business into four parts. The Land of Fire would take 30% of the profits, the Hokage Village 30%, the 35 branches of the Senju Clan 30%, and the Ten Family Ten Family.
The announcement of this decision stunned everyone. But upon closer reflection, they all felt it made perfect sense. The Land of Fire Daimyo and Tobirama Senju, having received such a large share of the profits, were naturally overjoyed, pledging to fully protect Phoenix Tower and granting it preferential treatment in every way. The ninjas were also on high alert, ensuring Phoenix Tower's safety. The Daimyo said with a beaming smile, " Phoenix Tower has made a tremendous contribution to the Land of Fire, and I will certainly give it my full support." Tobirama Senju echoed, " Phoenix Tower's development has also greatly benefited Konoha, and we will do our utmost to protect it." Although the Ten Family only received 10% of the profits, Phoenix Tower's business was so large that they still became the richest family in the land. Moreover, the Ten Family was exceptionally kind; wherever there was a disaster, they were always the first to send supplies and manpower, and the people spoke highly of the Ten Family.
Life had been going smoothly until February of the eleventh year of Konoha, when the atmosphere in the Hokage Palace suddenly changed. Hashirama Senju lay on his bed, his face ashen, his body emaciated, his health deteriorating day by day, and he looked like he was about to die.
Tobirama Senju had been frantic these past few days, his brow constantly furrowed and his steps hurried. He locked himself in his secret laboratory, working day and night on Hashirama Cells, surrounded by vials and experimental equipment. His eyes were filled with madness and determination; he was single-mindedly focused on finding a cure for his elder brother, completely oblivious to everything else. But who could have foreseen that this experiment would turn into a disaster? Over a hundred Senju Clan died painfully from the Hashirama Cells, their screams and contorted faces before death haunting Tobirama's mind. Even so, he gritted his teeth and didn't stop the experiment, his mind filled with only one thought: he must save his elder brother!
Upon hearing that his master was seriously ill, Tsubasa was frantic with worry and rushed back to Konoha. As soon as he entered the Hokage Palace and saw his master's frail appearance, his nose stung and his eyes instantly reddened. He ran to Hashirama's bedside in a few strides, his voice choked with emotion, "Master, I'm back."
Hashirama Senju forced a smile, looking at his eleven-year-old disciple who was already Above Clan Head Level powerhouse, his heart filled with both pride and reluctance. He said with difficulty, " Little Tsubasa, you are my only disciple, and the most talented person I have ever seen. You are so powerful at only eleven years old. I can't stay with you for much longer. Before I go, there are three things I want to entrust to you."
Tsubasa quickly grasped his master's hand, his eyes reddening, and said firmly, "Master, please speak! Your disciple promises to fulfill your request."
Hashirama Senju slowly sat up, his gaze sweeping over his family and friends in the room. Though his voice was weak, his tone was firm. "You are all my family, and prominent figures in the clan. Please Tsubasa witness for us. We've all watched Tenyi grow up; he's talented, strong-willed, and a cultivation fanatic. Now his strength has Above Clan Head Level. As my only direct disciple, he must inherit my mission. My first task is to entrust the Senju Clan to Tsubasa and pass the clan leader position to him. From today onward, Tsubasa is the clan leader of the Senju Clan." As he spoke, his hands trembled as he handed Tsubasa the token representing the clan leader's status and a sealing scroll.
Tsubasa knelt down with a thud, solemnly accepting the token and scroll with both hands. He kowtowed deeply, his forehead pressed firmly to the ground, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Your disciple will surely lead the Senju Clan to prosperity and strength."
Hashirama Senju smiled with satisfaction, "Good disciple, get up!" At this moment, everyone in the room looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down in unison, shouting, "Greetings, Clan Head!"
