Naruto: In the name of the Senju, he made the ninja world tremble.

Just as Chiba stood there waiting impatiently, in the center of the Senju clan's backyard, Tsunade was sitting uncomfortably on the tatami mat, the haori she wore, which represented the clan leader, making her feel uncomfortable.

However, looking at Granny Taohua's kind smile across from her, she forced herself to suppress her discomfort and sat properly in front of her.

"Don't worry, you won't have to wear it after the ceremony. The Senju clan is a thing of the past, and I won't disobey Lord Hashirama's orders."

Hearing the desolate tone in her voice and watching Granny Taohua slowly stand up, her movements slow and stiff as an old woman, Tsunade lowered her head with a look of shame on her face, her eyes slightly moist.

As an old woman who survived the chaos of war, watching the Thousand Hands Clan, which she had fought for all her life, go from prosperity to decline was an unbearable psychological blow. No one knows how many of her contemporaries, like Granny Momoka, died in despair because they could not understand or resist the orders of the two generations of clan leaders.

"Xiao Gang, come and help Grandma for a while. She's getting old and probably won't be able to walk very far."

Seeing Tsunade wipe her eyes and hurriedly come to her side to support her, Senju Momoka stretched out her right hand and gently wiped the corner of the younger woman's eye.

"Don't be afraid, don't panic, don't be flustered. Remember Tsunade, you are the only successor of Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama. The Senju clan that has merged into Konoha is your shield, and only you are worthy of it."

The elderly Momoka Senju didn't know how much longer she could live. She felt immense guilt over Nawaki's death and was determined not to let Tsunade suffer the same fate.

This was also the first time since the Senju clan split that Senju Momoka had disobeyed the orders of the two clan leaders and gathered the power of the Senju clan together.

Now is the best opportunity. After the Nine-Tails disaster, the village is in dire need of its core strength. Even if they know that these people are of the Senju bloodline, the village's higher-ups cannot abandon them. They can only secretly divide them until, after one or two generations, the name of the Senju completely disappears.

However, by then, Tsunade might not even be alive anymore, so what would be the point of the Senju clan existing?

As the two leaders of the Senju family walked forward, the Senju ancestral home was already bustling with activity.

Chiyu was hiding in a corner, watching the crowd in front of her. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong. This was no small gathering. It seemed like nearly 30% of Konoha's ninjas had been gathered together.

Akimichi, Gekko, Shiranui, and other clan ninjas wearing their own clan insignia, as well as many commoner ninjas like Chiba who did not have clan crests, all gathered here.

Furthermore, Chiba noticed that these people were generally quite old, with very few young ninjas. This was what shocked Chiba, as it was only a short time after the end of World War III, meaning that 90% of them were veterans who had survived World War II and World War III.

Before the emergence of the massive ninjutsu that could summon meteors with a simple clap of hands a decade or so later, these people were the village's most valuable asset.

"So, what will the Third Hokage think when he sees this scene?"

While Qianyu was lost in thought, little did he know that his presence was becoming increasingly conspicuous, drawing the attention of many people as time went on.

A slender figure stood silently in the corner of the courtyard, dressed in a faded dark blue outfit with a white belt around her waist. Her white hair was neatly combed in a spiky style, with wisps of hair covering part of her eyebrows and eyes.

Some of the older men strained to open their cloudy eyes, as if worried they were hallucinating, and muttered to themselves:

"How can they look so alike? Could this be a descendant of Tobirama, the clan leader? But the clan leader... he..."

"Stop kidding, you know Tobirama never married, but his appearance is just too..."

Although everyone knew that Tobirama was not married, this was too much like the match. Just as everyone was discussing it, a figure appeared next to Chiyu.

"Little Qianyu, come here, stay by my side."

Senju Unka patted Senyu's head and led him toward the crowd, clearly in a good mood from today's gathering.

As Senju Unka exchanged pleasantries with the others, Senyu's identity gradually came to light. When they learned that his bloodline actually came from Aoki Miki, whose bloodline was far removed from their own, they all showed expressions of doubt.

Despite this, many people still showed Qianyu a friendly smile. Regardless of blood ties, Qianyu's face alone gave them a sense of goodwill.

In contrast, Senba, who was following behind Senju Unka, maintained a stiff smile while enduring hunger, which made him feel that he had grasped the essence of the word "endurance" in ninja.

Finally, as the bell rang, the family ceremony was about to begin. At the same time, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also arrived. At this time, Chihiro, being of a certain status, could not follow behind him, so someone led Chihiro to his seat to wait.

When Qianyu was led to his seat and looked around at the other boys who were about his age, he realized that all the other boys his age were here. However, looking at their serious and solemn expressions, Qianyu lost interest in talking. Besides, he was really hungry. Good heavens, when will we be able to eat?

"Grandma, it's him, Aoki Chiba. Slug is very close to him. The intelligence says he has a steady personality and solid basic ninjutsu, but that assessment doesn't seem quite accurate."

Sitting in the back room, Tsunade pointed at Chiba, who seemed restless, and said that she was very disappointed with the Senju's remaining intelligence network.

Upon hearing Tsunade's assessment, Senju Momoka smiled slightly, summoned a maid, and whispered instructions before looking at Senba and saying:

"His appearance is even more exaggerated than Yunhua described. If I didn't know Lord Tobirama and Miki, I would probably think he was Lord Tobirama's direct descendant."

"Since he has developed a condition similar to that of Lord Hashirama, we cannot turn a blind eye to it, regardless of whether he will have Lord Hashirama's power in the future, otherwise this child's fate will not be good."

Senju Momoka knew about the village's obsession with Wood Release, a bloodline limit that could quell chaos and was coveted by countless people.

Even at the very beginning, many Senju clan members volunteered to participate in the experiment, hoping to become the next Hashirama Senju.

But what was the final outcome? Thinking of this, Senju Momoka closed her eyes slightly; the horrific scene was still too much for her to bear.

The Senju clan has already contributed enough to the village since its inception; they don't need to contribute anymore.
