At this moment, at the Senju Clan Festival, Senju Momoka sat in the main seat at the head of the table, chatting happily with the Third Hokage. Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru sat beside her, followed by the Hokage's personal guards.

This ordinary scene gave everyone present a sense of security, calming their anxieties caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.

"Hey Orochimaru, what are you staring at down there for? Are there any of your acquaintances here?"

Jiraiya, who wasn't a heavy drinker, got drunk and didn't care about the stares of those around him. He put his arm around Orochimaru's neck and followed the other man's gaze.

That one glance immediately sobered Jiraiya up considerably. He rubbed his eyes and looked again more closely.

"So it wasn't that my alcohol tolerance had decreased, but that someone really does look so much like the Second Hokage? Is this Tsunade's blood relative? I've never seen him before?"

Just as Jiraiya was talking to himself about Chiba's appearance, Orochimaru beside him had already taken action. Under the cover of his sleeve, he cut his finger and formed the "未" (wei) seal with one hand.

The next second, a snow-white snake appeared beneath him, silently burrowing underground and slowly moving towards Qianyu.

Orochimaru's move did not hide it from the people in the main seats. While the others might still be mindful of the occasion, the hot-tempered Tsunade raised her eyebrows and was about to stand up and question them.

"Tsuna, come here. Grandma is getting old and her health isn't what it used to be. Why don't you catch up with the Hokage?"

Senju Momoka's words temporarily suppressed Tsunade's anger. She got up and went to her mother-in-law's side to help her up. Just as Senju Momoka was leaving, she gently pinched Tsunade's arm.

Having received her mother-in-law's message, Tsunade temporarily suppressed her dissatisfaction and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, began a reunion with the Third Hokage, dressed in a haori, sitting on equal footing.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that from now on, his disciple would be the head of the Senju clan. Tsunade, who originally possessed the status of "princess" bestowed upon her by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, was now at the top of Konoha in terms of both status and power.

If the other party wanted to become Hokage, Konoha couldn't afford any turmoil right now. A thoughtful look flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Putting aside the fact that the Senju clan is gradually disappearing, Tsunade's hemophobia alone is a fatal flaw for the position of Hokage. How can the Kage of a village have such a big weakness?

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually felt relieved and began to talk kindly with Tsunade opposite him.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no regard for teacher-student relationships; he had truly grown old.

-----------------

Qianyu glanced calmly at the two teeth marks on his ankle. Just now, a small white snake had sneaked out of the ground, quickly bit him, sucked his blood, and then disappeared immediately.

A normal genin wouldn't be able to detect it, but Chiba, who had two chakra levels, clearly noticed the other party. What made him even more speechless was that the white snake had even left some poison in his wound.

So Orochimaru wanted to test his body's resistance to poison. This guy really doesn't take the Senju clan seriously. Or maybe he just thinks he's a genin and the Senju clan wouldn't turn against him for that.

"Snapped!"

Qianyu closed her eyes and her body involuntarily leaned to the side, startling the peer who was secretly eating nearby, who then choked.

Qianyu was unaware of the commotion that followed, because he had genuinely fainted. In order to follow the other party's wishes and avoid revealing himself, he could only pretend not to know, allowing the poison to enter his body and then passing out.

Orochimaru, I'm quite petty, but I'll remember this gift.

"Orochimaru, have you gone mad? Attacking the children of the village!"

Seeing Chiba being carried away in his poisoned state, Jiraiya's expression turned grim. He had initially thought Orochimaru was just indulging in his research and collecting the other's blood, never expecting him to poison a child.

Seeing that Jiraiya, though speaking in a low voice, was clearly enraged, Orochimaru pondered for a moment before muttering "idiot" to himself before speaking:

"Jiraiya, that was just a poison that made him unconscious. He'll metabolize it himself in a while. Even if I didn't care about Senju, I would still care about Tsunade. How could I really poison him?"

"Since the other party's appearance is so similar to that of the Second Hokage, if his physique is also special because of this, I think it would be of great help to Konoha."

Just as Jiraiya was about to speak again, hearing Orochimaru's hoarse voice and the fanatical look in his eyes, the Third Hokage interrupted him.

A moment later, Tsunade saw the Third Hokage and the others off outside the door before returning to the clan to continue presiding over the gathering. However, her mind was already elsewhere, worrying about whether Orochimaru would discover the little guy's secret.

At that time, the Senju clan will likely face immense pressure.

-----------------

"Ouch, my head hurts so much. I've been poisoned and there are such serious aftereffects. I hope this toxin won't damage my nerves."

"No, no matter what Orochimaru is like, he wouldn't use such a heavy hand under everyone's noses."

"That's good, that's good... um, greetings, Lady Momoka."

Chiba, who was halfway through her sentence, suddenly froze and quickly stood up to bow to Senju Momoka, who was sitting in the corridor enjoying the sunlight.

"Call me Grandma. After all, Miki and I grew up together." The calm voice, coupled with the weathered look in her eyes, made Qianyu feel even more pressured, as if her thoughts had been read by someone.

"Qianyu."

"exist!"

Upon hearing Granny Taohua's voice, Qianyu instinctively stood up straight and listened to her teachings. The next second, a piece of white paper floated in front of him.

Chakra test strips are a test that all ninjas undergo after refining chakra, allowing them to clearly understand their future path.

Understanding what the other party meant, Chiyu reached out and pressed the chakra test strip, slowly channeling a small amount of chakra from her body into it.

Then, under the gaze of two eyes, the chakra test strip split in two. The left side of the chakra test strip turned into fragments, while the right side became wet.

Qianyu's attributes are wind, earth, and water.

"Your innate attributes are wind and earth according to your records," Senju Momoka said without any surprise. She looked at the chakra test paper on the ground with a complicated expression. It is not uncommon for ninjas to be born with earth and water attributes, but it is rare for them to complete these attributes themselves. In other words, this is the only successful case in the Senju clan so far.

I had already given up, but this child appeared at this time. How cruelly fate is to me.

Closing her weary eyes, Senju Momoka felt for the first time that she didn't know what to choose. This child didn't need Wood Release, nor was it likely that he would, but as long as he became a figure like Tobirama, the Senju clan would reunite.

However, considering that disbanding the Senju clan was an order from Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama, Momoka Senju could not disobey these two lords' orders.
