(Regarding gunpowder, the author decided to change the gunpowder formula so that the base values of the gunpowder could be lethal to ninjas, and the materials used to manufacture the firearms would definitely not be just simple steel.)
For example, by increasing the speed of a firearm to an extremely high level, it could be used to kill ninjas.
In short, the author will inflate all base stats to make their total values comparable to those of a ninja.
After all, the author knows how high the ninja's stats are; it's common for Jonin to run at supersonic speeds.
Only now did Fū Senju realize that the power structure within the Land of Fire had long been clearly defined; who could they possibly enlist?
Are we supposed to call upon those smaller clans? They'd be more than enough to feed the Uchiha; even if we combined them all, would the Uchiha possibly respect us?
Perhaps their combined strength might indeed earn them the respect of the Uchiha, but that's about it.
Even if they joined forces, they would still pose no significant threat to the Uchiha. After all, if the clan grew larger, their internal strife would become more severe.
By then, if they unite, their strength will actually be significantly weaker than if they don't unite, and the Uchiha might even be easier to deal with.
Uchiha Takashi naturally knew this as well, since the combined strength of these small clans could indeed rival that of a Shinobi World clan.
But that's only possible under ideal circumstances, where these small families don't fight for power, don't scheme against each other, and don't engage in infighting.
If even a few individuals within this alliance are scheming and vying for power, then whether this alliance can still exert its strength, or even whether it can fight at all, becomes a question.
After all, in Uchiha Takashi's previous life, he was capable of organizing 18 warlords to attack Dong Zhuo, yet they still failed. Having too many clans wasn't necessarily a good thing.
In comparison, the combined power unleashed by several clans controlled entirely by the Uchiha force is far more terrifying.
At the very least, control and the power of discourse are in the hands of the Uchiha, so there won't be any other clans jumping out to oppose them or engaging in infighting with the Uchiha.
"Contact the daimyo immediately! We must contact the daimyo right now! This matter requires the full strength of the Land of Fire! We alone are not enough, and this matter concerns the daimyo of the Land of Fire!"
The daimyo of the Land of Fire must get involved in this matter no matter what! Go now! And then go and inform the Uzumaki Clan and Sarutobi Clan! Invite the heads of those two clans to come!"
Fū Senju hurriedly began to deal with the situation, while Oto Senju, standing to the side, shook her head. "They won't turn back until they hit a brick wall! Senju has to keep up, otherwise they'll be left behind by the Uchiha!"
However, Oto Senju also knew that his voice was weak. Although he was the Fifth Elder, he didn't have much real power.
His words wouldn't cause much of a stir within the clan; only after a fair fight with the Uchiha would the Senju Clan take his words seriously.
He can only execute his plans then; for now, we can only wait and see what Fū Senju does.
Ideally, the Uchiha Clan could be completely wiped out, but Oto Senju wasn't optimistic about this, given her understanding of the Uchiha's strength.
Oto Senju Oto Senju, having left the clan head's office, returned home, the sound of her footsteps echoing from within.
A small head peeked out from a distance. "Onii-chan!"
Oto Senju slowly raised her head, then revealed a gentle smile, " Shura! How have you been at home?"
Shura Senju grinned foolishly. "I'm doing great! The house is very comfortable! Much better than my old one."
Oto Senju smiled and patted Shura Senju's head, "That's good, that's good! As long as life is better than before, that's all that matters."
Oto Senju's father died in the war against the Uchiha years ago, and his mother also died because of the birth of Shura Senju. From then on, he and his younger brother depended on each other for survival when they were young.
The Senju Clan does not have a system for raising orphans; orphans within the Senju Clan face extremely difficult lives.
The compensation money left by her parents who died in the war was barely enough for her to receive, so the ten-year-old Oto Senju had to shoulder the burden alone.
He supported himself and his newborn brother by doing quests, and life was very difficult at that time.
Their living environment was extremely dilapidated, located in a corner of the Senju Clan's camp, where these orphans, without parents or any background, gathered.
Oto Senju doesn't know how he survived those five years, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Unfortunately, in the Senju Clan, a family that values tradition and background, no matter how hard he tries, he can't live a very good life.
Oto Senju's talent wasn't exceptional. No matter how hard he tried to become stronger, malnutrition in his childhood limited his potential to the level of Elite Chunin.
If he hadn't demonstrated his wisdom during the elders' meeting, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current position.
However, things have improved recently. Although there are only four permanent elder positions in the Senju Clan, his position as the fifth elder is nominally that of an elder, but in reality, it's more like an employee.
However, he received the full benefits of an elder, which was enough for him to support himself and his brother, and even live a better life.
"Onii-chan, what happened to the Uchiha Clan again? Why were you suddenly called to my office?" Shura Senju asked with a worried expression.
Oto Senju shook her head. "It's nothing serious, don't worry." Oto Senju didn't want to prematurely involve Shura Senju in the conflict between the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan.
In his view, with him around, Shura Senju only needed to grow up quietly and peacefully.
But Shura Senju shook his head, squinted, and said, "Brother, don't try to lie to me. If it weren't for something happening to the Uchiha Clan..."
Why is the clan head so anxious to summon the elders to a meeting? It must be that the Uchiha has done something beyond our Senju Clan's expectations, right?"
Oto Senju calmly looked at Shura Senju. In fact, a year ago, Shura Senju had already displayed talent and wisdom far exceeding that of his peers.
At least by the time Oto Senju hadn't yet learned how to control Chakra at his age, Shura Senju had already mastered how to skillfully use Chakra.
Furthermore, Oto Senju also discovered that Shura Senju possessed exceptional analytical and reasoning abilities, especially last year, when he even analyzed the advantages of the Senju Clan.
It was from that moment that Oto Senju began to truly acknowledge her younger brother; perhaps her brother was the future of the Senju Clan.
After all, his brother's sudden increase in strength was always inexplicable. He had never learned how to refine Chakra, yet he somehow managed to figure it out on his own.
This kind of talent is rare even within the Senju Clan.
Seeing that Shura Senju remained silent, Oto Senju pouted and said, "I also want to help my brother. I don't want him to treat me like a child!"
Seeing Shura Senju's sullen Oto Senju, Senju Oto suddenly smiled. Perhaps he was wrong; Shura Senju's future might be even further than he imagined.
The path he paved for Shura Senju might not be suitable for Shura Senju. Originally, he only wanted Shura to live a peaceful life, but now his thoughts have slightly changed.
Possessing such talent and wisdom, Shura Senju was destined for an extraordinary life.
Oto Senju, thinking of this, sat down and said, "Since Little Shura is so eager to know, then I'll tell you."
Upon hearing this, Shura Senju's eyes immediately lit up. He leaned on the table, his short legs crossed, and listened intently.
