Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"Open the door!"

Senju Momoma pounded on the door, and a head peeked out from the slit. Upon recognizing Senju Momoma, the head immediately opened the door.

"The young clan leader is back."

"What's going on? Why is the door closed in broad daylight?"

The reason for closing the door was, of course, to avoid the families who came to gather information.

The young clan leader probably doesn't know yet that clan leader Tobirama Senju has died in battle. It's best not to say anything more about this; let Lady Mito tell her herself.

The Senju clansman in charge of guarding the gate said:

"This is Lady Mito's order. Lady Mito is still waiting for you inside."

These words were enough to brush off Senju Momoma.

Senju Momoma nodded and quickly walked towards Uzumaki Mito's room, where she soon met Uzumaki Mito.

"Mother, I'm back."

Upon hearing the sound, Mito Uzumaki looked towards Momoma Senju outside the room and quickly went outside.

"Good boy, you've gotten strong and tanned."

Mito Uzumaki sized up Momoma Senju. The once somewhat immature Momoma had grown into a man capable of standing on his own after being tempered on the battlefield.

"Tsunade is here too. Has she been causing any trouble in the village lately? Has she been secretly gambling behind Grandma's back again?"

"No!"

Tsunade rushed into Momoma Senju's arms; she hadn't seen her father in a long time.

"Mother, why did you call me back so urgently? Has something happened in the village?"

"Come with me."

A look of sadness flashed across Mito Uzumaki's face as she prepared to pull Momoma Senju into another room to discuss matters.

"Second Uncle, where's Tobirama? I haven't seen him in ages. Is he still in the Hokage's office?"

Momokazu Senju casually asked a question that Tsunade, who was in his arms, heard. Tsunade, who was still very emotional, immediately broke down and tears streamed down her face.

"Second Grandfather, he... he's dead!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mito Uzumaki looked at her son with a sorrowful expression. She had changed rooms specifically because she didn't want Tsunade to recall painful memories.

Now look what's happened, I have to coax her again.

Throwing tantrums and begging

Chapter 27 Taojian: Mom loves me the most!

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

"Tsunade, be good."

"."

Mito Uzumaki wiped away Tsunade's tears and patiently comforted her, gradually calming her down.

However, Senju Momoma, who was standing to the side, stood there motionless as if struck by lightning, still unable to recover from the shock.

My second uncle is dead?

That's impossible!

My second uncle possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his entire body is covered in powerful forbidden techniques. If he wants to leave, who in the ninja world can stop him?

However, reality is what it is, and no matter how much you don't want to believe it, you still have to accept it.

Tears welled in Momoma Senju's eyes as he recalled the moments he spent with Tobirama Senju. After his father, Hashirama Senju, died, Tobirama Senju took on the role of a father, teaching him as if he were his own son.

"Momo, now is not the time to be sad."

"I know."

Senju Momoma wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and went to another room with Uzumaki Mito.

Senju Momoma felt a little nervous, eagerly awaiting news from Uzumaki Mito.

The fact that he was in such a hurry to be recalled from the front lines must be related to the Third Hokage of Konoha.

Momoma Senju is ready to take over as the Third Hokage.

"According to Tobirama's dying wish, the candidate to serve as the Third Hokage is Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"what?"

Senju Momoka could hardly believe his ears. Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Who the hell is he?

Does he have the right to covet the Hokage position in Konoha just because of the Sarutobi clan behind him?

You said Tobirama passed the leadership to Kagami Uchiha, and even Momoma Senju could grit his teeth and accept it.

Wait a minute, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't Uncle's bodyguard. Uncle is dead, how could he come back?

conspiracy!

This is a conspiracy!!

"This is impossible!!"

Momoka Senju was instantly disarmed and didn't believe Mito Uzumaki's words. She asked him several times before finally believing him.

"Mother, you called me back in such a hurry, do you want me to help Hiruzen Sarutobi take over?"

Senju Momoma's face was cold and incomprehensible. He couldn't understand his second uncle's decision. No matter how the Hokage position was passed down, it would never fall to someone as lowly as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even if the Senju clan reluctantly agreed, the Uchiha would never accept it.

Something bad is going to happen!

Mito Uzumaki sighed. She came from a prestigious ninja clan and was well-versed in history. She knew all too well the sordid affairs within powerful families.

People are capable of fighting tooth and nail for the position of clan leader, even causing internal strife, let alone the Kage of Konoha.

She should support Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even her own son might turn against her immediately.

Senju Momoma's identity is that of the young clan leader of the Senju clan. Now she has been automatically promoted to clan leader. As long as he raises his arm, the Senju clan can put her under house arrest instantly.

She could really bring herself to fight her own son.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Stop dreaming!

"How could that be? Of course I support you."

Mito Uzumaki immediately expressed her stance, which reassured Momoma Senju, and her expression improved considerably.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is just a minor character. Your real competitor is the Uchiha." Momoma Senju nodded, not taking Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously.

If he wanted to, with the power of the Senju clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have been stabbed five times in the back today and ultimately judged as having committed suicide.

The Uchiha clan is the real threat!

"Now, a powerful figure has emerged in the Uchiha clan who may rival Madara Uchiha in the future. He has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

The moment Uchiha Madara was mentioned, the image of Uchiha Madara riding Susanoo across the battlefield instantly appeared in Senju Momoma's mind.

In this ninja world, no ninja is worthy of being Madara Uchiha's opponent, except for his father, Hashirama Senju.

Now that such a figure has appeared in the Uchiha clan, I am far inferior to my father, Hashirama Senju.

Without a doubt, the Uchiha clan has set its sights on the Third Hokage's throne this time.

Senju Momoma's mood became anxious again. He hated that he had not inherited his father's Sage Body, Wood Release, and Sage Mode that could be activated instantly.

Compared to his father, Hashirama Senju, he was just an ordinary person.

Compared to ordinary ninjas, they only have a little more ninjutsu talent, a little more chakra, and a little more regenerative ability.

That makes us completely uncompetitive!

"Don't underestimate yourself. You've only shown a little potential. Someone like Madara Uchiha won't appear so easily."

"Just a reminder to you, don't forget who your real opponent is."

Seeing that Momoma Senju's confidence was shaken, Mito Uzumaki spoke slowly.

Throughout the Uchiha clan's thousand-year history, every few generations a genius would emerge who could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and correspondingly, the Senju clan would also produce geniuses who could rival the Uchiha, as if it had become a tradition.

Madara Uchiha was special. The Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the past were far less powerful than Madara Uchiha, and the Susanoo residing in his eyes appeared very rarely.

The reason why Mito Uzumaki held Uchiha Nan in such high regard was simply because Uchiha Nan had demonstrated the power of Susanoo, but it was not invincible.

Mito Uzumaki recalled Tobirama Senju's research. Madara Uchiha's ability to become an exception, with strength far surpassing that of the Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in history, had long fueled Tobirama Senju's burning passion for scientific research.

According to Tobirama's speculation, the Uchiha clan's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan has flaws; if they continue to use it, they will eventually exhaust their eye power and go blind.

To compensate for this deficiency, the only option is to acquire the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is related to the wearer. Madara Uchiha acquired the eyes of his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, which led to a qualitative change in his strength.

Although it's just speculation, Tobirama's statement is certainly not unfounded. Perhaps Tobirama had already dug up Madara Uchiha's grave and put his body on Tobirama's experimental table.

Uchiha Nan's parents died early, and he had no siblings, so the possibility of him getting a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan was extremely slim.

"Momoma, don't you think Hiruzen Sarutobi would be very useful at this time?"

“Since Tobirama has taken a liking to him, why not send him out first? We won’t need to lift a finger; the Uchiha won’t let him go anyway. It’ll be a good opportunity to gauge that Uchiha’s strength and gather more information.”

What a great idea!

Momoka Senju's eyes lit up. In the war of ninjas, the power of intelligence is self-evident. There are too many strange and wonderful ninjutsu in the ninja world, and there are many Jonin who have been defeated due to insufficient intelligence.

"Then I'll listen to Mother."

A sly smile appeared on Momoma Senju's face. Her mother was indeed wise and resourceful, always thinking of her own interests.

Mom, you really do love me the most!
