Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 214 Political Legacy
After the ceremony of presenting the captives, Umino Sasuke did not go to the Senju clan's territory to pay his respects to Uzumaki Mito immediately, but instead went home first.

Currently, the Umino clan is developing quite well. With the continuous supply of seafood from the Land of Waves, the Umino clan has established a fairly good industry. It seems that it's only a matter of time before they monopolize the Konoha fish market.

As for Haidilao restaurants, with the support of Akimichi Toribo, they are making a fortune every day.

The Umino clan finally achieved a balance between income and expenditure and began to have a surplus. Of course, because they needed to train clan ninjas, the surplus was not much, but at least Umino Sasuke no longer needed to provide subsidies.

After dealing with family affairs, Umino Sasuke used the Shadow Clone Technique to teleport Senju Nawaki and Umino Tobirama from the front lines of the Land of Grass.

Then, leading them, they headed towards the Thousand Hands territory.

Mito Uzumaki wanted to summon him, not simply to see him, but more to see her beloved grandson, Nawaki Senju. Bringing Tobirama along was merely a ploy to confuse the situation.

The Senju clan's territory is located in the heart of Konoha, while the Umino clan's residence is on the outskirts. Along the way, villagers kept coming over to greet them, clearly indicating that the morning's captive presentation ceremony was quite successful, and the Umino clan's reputation had finally been established.

The two little ones also received some fruits from the villagers, which Senju Nawaki could take to his grandmother, Uzumaki Mito, to try. He thought Uzumaki Mito would definitely like the fruit given by her own grandson.

Of course, as the head of the Umino clan, it was impossible for him to bring these fruits when he first visited Mito Uzumaki. When visiting someone's home, one must not be impolite. The gifts do not need to be very precious, but they must be prepared with care.

As the wife of the First Generation, the aunt of the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, and the pillar of Konoha Village, Mito Uzumaki, though long retired, still held a very high and special position. Naturally, Sasuke Umino had made careful preparations for her visit.

Having just obtained a considerable amount of Summoning Bee Honey from the Kamisama clan, a renowned longevity and health tonic in the ninja world, it would be perfect to give it to Mito Uzumaki.

The Senju butler was quite surprised to see the summoning bee honey. The Senju clan is not what it used to be. Since a large number of Senju clan members went into hiding and integrated into Konoha as ordinary villagers, the Senju clan has been very different. It has been a long time since they have received such a gift.

“Master Umino, Lord Mito has been delayed for a while. Please have some tea here, and I will take the two young masters to play over there.”

"Well, let's go."

Sasuke Umino nodded, indicating to the butler to make arrangements as he saw fit.

"Excellent tea!" Although Sasuke Umino didn't know much about tea ceremony, he could still tell the quality of tea. This tea was even better than the top-grade cloud and mist tea he got from the Land of Rivers last time. It must be a treasure from the Land of Tea. It seems that no matter how much the Senju clan has declined, its heritage still exists.

Having just finished half a pot of tea, Senju Nawaki, his eyes red, was brought back by the butler. As for Tobirama, he was definitely tricked by the butler into going off to play.

"Brother-in-law, I'm now a member of the Umino family. You won't abandon me, will you?"

Senju Nawaki clung to Umino Sasuke's leg, tears streaming down her face.

"A member of the Umino family?"

Upon hearing this, Umino Sasuke was taken aback and looked at the butler with suspicion and uncertainty. Was he planning not to restore Senju Nawaki's identity?
The butler nodded, confirming his guess.

Led by the butler, Umino Sasuke met Uzumaki Mito and finally understood why she had made such an arrangement. At this time, although Uzumaki Mito looked young, she exuded an aura of old age, clearly indicating that her lifespan was nearing its end and that she might transfer and seal the Nine-Tails within her to Uzumaki Kushina at any moment.

Once Mito Uzumaki passes away, there's no guarantee that Nawaki Senju won't repeat the same mistake. Having learned her lesson, she no longer trusts Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Why not take this opportunity to make those people think that Nawaki is dead, change to a new identity, and start over? After all, the Senju clan has a tradition of abandoning their identity and integrating into Konoha Village.

As for the face of the Senju clan, Tsunade is enough.

"Sasuke, you are the most peaceful ninja I have ever seen. You are very good."

Mito Uzumaki was quite satisfied with Sasuke Umino. While the Nine-Tails' benevolent perception might be deceived and could not be ruled out as feigned, the innate nature revealed by chakra could not be faked.

She had only seen such peaceful chakra a few times in her long life, and all of them were very kind people.

As a Konoha Jonin, someone with such peaceful chakra is definitely someone you can entrust with important tasks. It's reassuring to put Nawaki in his hands.

To express her gratitude to Sasuke Umino for saving her life, Mito Uzumaki planned to give all the shops and properties rented by the Umino clan to them, and even included a recipe for the Thousand Hands Secret Medicine as a reward.

"Lord Mito, there's no need for that."

Umino Sasuke immediately summoned a sealing scroll and unsealed it. "This is a gold ingot worth ninety million taels. I'll just pay for it."

Seeing that Umino Sasuke had actually taken out so much money, Uzumaki Mito immediately changed her original plan and gave even more. In her opinion, these properties would eventually fall into the hands of those insects anyway, so it was better to benefit the Umino clan. At least her grandson would be a member of the Umino clan in the future, and Tsunade would have a good future.

Thus, through a deal that was essentially a sale and a giveaway, the Umino clan not only acquired a large number of Konoha properties and shops, but also a considerable amount of mines and land. Even the Valley of the End was incorporated into the Umino clan's domain.

In this way, the Umino clan could also have their own ninja clan lands, just like the Nara clan, to grow medicinal herbs and even raise summoning beasts in the Valley of the End.

Umino Sasuke and his two companions did not stay overnight and eventually left the Senju clan's territory.

No sooner had the three left than Mito Uzumaki summoned her bodyguards and summoned a number of ninjas, transferring the Senju clan's political legacy to Sasuke Umino.

The next day, Shiro Aburame, who refused to let go of Shiro Aburame, took the initiative to report and insisted on joining his ranks. In addition, many other ninja geniuses also came to him one after another.

In the following days, rumors spread throughout the village that Umino Sasuke had presented Mito Uzumaki with the secret longevity elixir of the Kamimizu school and some sunken antiques, winning Mito's favor and allowing him to purchase a large amount of Senju's assets at extremely low prices.

Mito Uzumaki even acknowledged Sasuke Umino's status as a disciple of the Second Hokage, and personally taught him sealing techniques, treating him like a grandson-in-law.

Sasuke Umino often brought the two little ones to visit Mito Uzumaki, treating the Senju clan almost like his own home, which further confirmed the rumor.
