Such a major event had occurred within the Uzumaki Clan, and naturally, it couldn't be kept secret from the other clan members. Many clansmen had witnessed what was happening firsthand.
This news couldn't be kept secret, and the patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan had no choice but to announce the Third Elder's defection and the complete break with the Senju Clan.
This news quickly spread to the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha Takashi, who was investigating the orphanage at the time, learned of this news.
"Splitting things up? What are these clans up to? Why do they all seem to like splitting things up?" Uchiha Takashi said with a sigh.
The Nara clansman in charge of the report rolled his eyes but said nothing, though he thought to himself, "Do you think everyone is like you Uchiha? Besides, didn't you Uchiha yourselves almost split apart?"
Indeed, if it weren't for Uchiha Takashi's sudden purge, which unified the thoughts within the Uchiha...
If the Uchiha continues down this path, the two factions will inevitably drift to opposite extremes and begin fighting, unless one faction is completely wiped out on the battlefield.
Otherwise, the Uchiha would definitely split up, but unlike other clans where one side would join another, the two sides would inevitably fight each other.
Whoever wins will become the new Uchiha and continue the lineage; whoever loses will not even leave a name behind.
At this moment, Uchiha Takashi stroked his chin. The Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan had broken ties, which meant that the Senju Clan's strength had been greatly reduced?
If we seize this opportunity to launch an attack on the Senju Clan, wouldn't we gain a significant advantage?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Takashi immediately stood up and returned to his office, summoning the heads of the Nara Clan, Hyuga Clan, Shimura Clan, and Chinoike Clan, as well as high-ranking military officials from the country.
Nine people were suddenly seated in the small meeting room, whereas previously there were usually no more than five.
However, upon entering the conference room, the clan leaders all turned their gazes to the Naka Chinoike.
The clan leaders frowned as they looked at the Naka Chinoike. "Who are you? We've never seen you before."
Sensing the gazes directed at it from within the Naka Chinoike, it snorted twice, then activated its Ketsuryūgan and glared back.
What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen Ketsuryūgan before?
The head of the Nara Clan only Byakugan was after seeing the Ketsuryūgan.
Good heavens, if he remembered correctly, this was Ketsuryūgan, right? He had only ever seen it in the family records.
If he remembered correctly, the Chinoike had a connection with the Uchiha Clan; it seemed that the Chinoike was suppressed in Hell Valley by the Uchiha Clan.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Uchiha released the person and even swallowed Uchiha?
The head of the Nara Clan thought about it for a moment, and then he understood. It made sense; the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan and the Ketsuryūgan of the Chinoike were so similar.
They might actually be relatives. Considering the Uchiha Clan's recent trend of annexing other clans, annexing the Chinoike doesn't seem unreasonable.
Uchiha Takashi sat at the main table. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he slowly began to speak, "Since everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."
News came from the Uzumaki Clan that they had broken ties with the Senju Clan, and their clan was in disarray, with some members fleeing to the Senju Clan.
The moment the words left his mouth, the several families present gasped in astonishment. Good heavens! The Uzumaki Clan, which claimed to be one family with the Senju Clan and hadn't Branch Family for centuries, had actually broken ties with the Senju Clan!
What's going on? What kind of conflict did these two have? Why did they suddenly have such a falling out?
At this point, the heads of several clans began to discuss among themselves. Because their clans had been absorbed by the Uchiha, their intelligence now depended entirely on the Uchiha's intelligence network.
To be more precise, the entire country now relies on the national intelligence agency established by the Uchiha; all intelligence can only be obtained through the Uchiha intelligence agency.
Uchiha Takashi waved his hand, signaling his clansmen to distribute the information.
After everyone had received the information, he continued, "The specific matter is that the Uzumaki Clan has the idea of establishing a nation and has persuaded the Senju Clan to join them in doing so."
However, the Senju Clan suppressed their idea, but they did not give up. Instead, Senju Clan secretly prepared to establish an independent nation.
However, this news was leaked by their own higher-ups, and the patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan quickly learned of it. When the patriarch sent people to purge the clan, the split occurred.
It was precisely because of this split that they completely broke with the Senju Clan. That concludes the entire story. What are your thoughts?
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nara Clan Head spoke first, "Then, can we interpret this as the Senju Clan's strength being weakened?"
Uchiha Takashi nodded. "That's right. My current thought is that since the Senju Clan's strength has been weakened and their military power is not what it used to be, could we take the initiative and seize the initiative?"
The head of the Nara Clan nodded in agreement. "This is indeed a good opportunity to send troops, and our army has been training for so long, but it has not yet been tested in actual combat."
This is also a good opportunity for us to test our combat capabilities.
Uchiha Takashi: I know nodding is good, but why are you nodding along with me?
The Hyuga Clan Head said, "But the Senju Clan isn't at its weakest right now. They also have an ally Sarutobi Clan. If we make a move now, the Sarutobi Clan won't stand idly by."
Perhaps we will have to pay a higher price than we imagine to achieve victory.
The Nara Clan Head said, " Hyuga Clan Head, I must remind you that our current strength is no longer that of a small clan."
We now possess the strength of five clans, although some of them are small clans. In fact, our strength is now considered the strongest in the Land of Fire.
More precisely, our current military strength is the strongest in the Shinobi World. Although the Land of Light has a small territory, its military strength has long been the strongest in the Shinobi World.
Hyuga Clan Head: "Uh, that's true... but we must consider whether we can accept the price we have to pay."
Uchiha Takashi slammed his hand on the table. "There's no need to worry too much. This move was just a test. If we find the cost too high and unacceptable, then we'll retreat and continue developing."
If the Senju Clan is already vulnerable, then let's seize this opportunity to launch an expansion campaign, taking over as much land as we can! This campaign will be called the " Land Enclosure Operation."
