Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 77 The Perseverance of the Senju Clan
The situation was extremely tense, and Senju Rinmoku's face was ashen. His complexion hadn't been normal lately.

Standing behind Captain Yellow Dog, Nightlight awaited orders.

Danzo said in front of the yellow dog:

"The Senju clan must hand over the Whirlpool Sealing Technique, and the Anbu will seal the Nine-Tails."

Senju Rinki: The Senju clan's strength is far less than before, not even as great as when Tobirama was the clan leader.

If the Nine-Tails seal fails, half the village will perish for your ambition!

Senju Rinmoku suddenly looked pained, and after letting out a long breath, he continued speaking:

"Isn't the reason why the Senju clan's strength has weakened because too many people have sacrificed for the village?"

My father died, my uncle died, my brother died, and now my son has died.

Which of them didn't die for the village?

The Nine-Tails seal is the foundation of the Senju clan. Only our Senju clan possesses powerful sealing techniques, and only my niece Kushina can withstand the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The sealing of the Nine-Tails must be completed by our Senju clan! I will absolutely not compromise on this matter.

Ye Guang listened with great interest; it seemed that neither side would compromise.

As long as the Nine-Tails exists, the Senju clan will remain the largest ninja clan in Konoha.

Even though the Senju clan suffered countless casualties and weakened to the extreme, they were still the most important ninja clan in the village.

If we back down this time and hand over the Nine-Tails' seal to the Anbu, the Anbu can use the excuse of maintaining the Nine-Tails' seal to seize the guardianship of the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Don't argue here. This is not the place to argue."

Danzo remained expressionless, while Senju Rinki gritted his teeth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Rinki Senju's stubborn, even somewhat ferocious, expression, his eyes shifting several times before finally saying:

“This constant arguing isn’t a solution; Mrs. Mito’s mind is becoming increasingly unclear.”

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox transfer seal must never be performed within the village; if anything goes wrong, half the village will perish.

"Chief Linmu, please devise a plan first, and begin preparations for the Nine-Tails' transfer seal."

Senju Rinmoku's eyes lit up. Had the village finally compromised and given in?
Danzo turned to look at Hiruzen, puzzled as to why Hiruzen wasn't following the original plan and continuing to pressure Senju Rinki.

"Alright! Lord Hokage, I will devise a perfect sealing plan!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his expression filled with worry:

"Chief Linmu, I understand your position."

Do the Senju clan truly possess the ability to seal the Nine-Tails? How much power are you willing to contribute?

Danzo said that the Senju clan's strength has declined, which is an indisputable fact.

I hope you will come up with a feasible plan to ensure the Nine-Tails seal remains intact, instead of just making empty pronouncements about your position.

Senju Rinmoku said with absolute certainty:

"Lord Hokage, the Senju clan has been researching how to unite the power of more people."

Indeed, the number of Kage-level and elite ninjas in the Senju clan has decreased significantly, but we never blindly believe in individuals; we prefer to rely on unity.

The Senju clan possesses a combined sealing technique that can gather the power of every Senju member.

"At that time, I will arrange for all the Senju clan ninjas, regardless of age or gender, to complete the seal!"

Hearing only a few words from afar, Ye Guang was filled with horror.

Is Senju Rinmoku willing to risk the entire Senju clan's fortune for the sake of sealing the Nine-Tailed Fox?
Could the Nine-Tails' transfer and sealing be the night of the Senju clan's annihilation?

Ye Guang was shaken. No, he absolutely could not allow the Senju clan to be wiped out like in the original story.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo walked towards the Hokage Building.

There was no one around them; the secret service had cleared them out.

Danzo asked, "Have you made up your mind?" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said:
"The Second Shinobi World War only lasted for a little over two years, but too many people from Konoha died."

In two years, a quarter of Konoha's ninjas died.

Because of the death of a relative, more and more people in the village are dissatisfied with me.

I cannot take risks, I cannot allow any accidents, I must keep the Nine-Tails firmly under control.

"Danzo, execute your plan. Go to the front lines and find Orochimaru."

Danzo nodded and vanished in an instant.

The next morning, after the shift change, Ye Guang followed Captain Huang Quan back to the Dark Division base.

Captain Yellow Dog issued an order requiring all squad leaders and platoon leaders to study the combined sealing technique, investigate its history, and gather intelligence.

At this time, the Anbu were not skilled in sealing techniques, and the Root ninjas did not have the Tongue Root Calamity Seal.

Ye Guang did possess several sealing techniques, including the Self-Karmic Binding Seal and the Contract Seal.

The self-inflicted curse seal comes from the system, while the contract seal comes from the scroll that Yuga gave herself.

He pretended to discuss the joint sealing technique with the squad leader so as not to share the sealing techniques he knew.

As time went by, the Nine-Tails' chakra became increasingly volatile.

On the 12th of the second month, the Senju clan was finally about to begin sealing the Nine-Tails.

As night fell, the lights in the Thousand Hands Clan's territory went out one by one.

Doors opened one by one, and the Thousand Hands ninjas emerged from their homes.

Husband and wife, father and son, brothers and sisters.

Every ninja who graduated from the ninja academy was given a robe bearing the Senju clan crest.

Unlike ninja vests, the Senju clan's robes are like those of nobles, with wide sleeves and flowing garments.

This is a ninja clan filled with pride and with a history spanning thousands of years.

Every member of the Thousand Hands tribe had a face etched with pride.

Once the Nine-Tails' transfer seal is completed, the Senju clan will continue to prosper for decades, centered around Kushina Uzumaki.

Back then, Hashirama left the Nine-Tails to Konoha and the Senju clan because he believed that only the Senju and Uzumaki clans were capable of controlling it.

Unexpectedly, the Senju clan is now in decline and can only slowly recover its strength by relying on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Now, the Senju clan has reached its worst moment. The clan's hope, the young clan leader Nawaki, has sacrificed himself on the front lines. It is also time for the Senju clan to bounce back from rock bottom.

Kushina Uzumaki will become the next Kage-level ninja of the Senju clan.

Ye Guang stood on the rooftop outside the Senju clan's territory, taking one last look at the empty Senju clan's territory.

Within the clan's territory, only some children who hadn't yet graduated from the ninja academy remained.

These children carried swaddled babies on their backs, and inside those swaddled babies were infants even smaller than themselves.

At the entrance to the clan's settlement, there were some elderly disabled people eagerly waiting.

As far as I know, apart from a few Senju clan members in key positions like Tsunade, the rest of the Senju ninja have returned to the front lines.

Deep within the clan's territory, Mito Uzumaki moved sluggishly, needing to rest for a few seconds after each step. With the help of others, she slowly boarded the carriage.

Kushina Uzumaki also boarded the carriage.

This time, it wasn't a disguise from the previous battle at Niuhe Mountain; it was a genuine transfer of the seal.

The wheels rolled slowly, carrying the two ninjas, one old and one young, outwards.

Around the carriage were eight elite members of the Thousand Hands clan.

Tonight may be the end of the Senju clan, their final swan song.
