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

The campfire illuminated the small area at night. Qianyu, whose body had almost recovered, was turning the barbecue grill in front of him. At this moment, they had arrived at the border of the River Country.

Without the burden of caravans, they would be back in Konoha in no time, so Chiba once again displayed her gluttonous talents.

To Uchiha Shisui's astonishment, he took out the barbecue grill and seasonings from the sealing scroll, and then took out the cleaned goat from another sealing scroll.

The goat meat from the River Country is plump and juicy. After being carefully roasted, it becomes crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. The evenly distributed fat has a rich aroma and is not greasy.

Of the goats, Uchiha Yue took both front legs, Chiba took both hind legs, and the rest were given to Iruka and the others.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Qianyu leisurely took out another goat and roasted it. By the time it was roasted, the food in her stomach had been mostly digested.

While everyone else went to rest, Qianyu hummed a tune that no one else could understand, happily brushing on the oil. She felt uneasy because she had no food in her stomach before going to sleep.

Just then, light footsteps sounded, and Uchiha Shisui walked over and sat down opposite Chiba, watching Chiba's skillful grilling technique.

Perhaps because of the connection between the Uchiha and Senju clans, Uchiha Shisui felt a lot of curiosity about Senba and wanted to see what he thought about the village's situation, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

"Senior Shisui, you haven't truly smiled since I met you." Qianyu picked up a knife and made several cuts in the mutton, the skin and meat turning open, and the fat sizzling as it dripped out.

"It seems the Dark Side isn't suitable for someone like me. I'd get so depressed doing this every day," Chiba joked as she turned the grill in her hand.

"Actually, it's not so bad," Shisui said, his tone less somber, perhaps influenced by Chiba's relaxed manner. "As long as you don't join any special departments, you're no different from an ordinary ninja."

Chiyu simply smiled at this; she couldn't discuss the matters of the Dark Division in depth, otherwise it would become another troublesome matter.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Shisui couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer. "Chiba, what are your thoughts on the relationship between the clan and the village?"

As soon as he said this, Uchiha Shisui regretted it. He had only known the other person for two days, and he had spoken too intimately with someone he barely knew.

"We depend on each other," to Uchiha Shisui's surprise, Chiba actually responded to him, "Shisui-senpai, don't look at me like that. I am the only ninja of the Senju clan in this generation who carries the clan's name on his shoulders."

Chiba handed a piece of succulent lamb rib to Uchiha Shisui, saying, "The original village was formed by the gathering of various clans, led by the Senju and Uchiha."

"From this perspective, it can be said that without clans there would be no Konoha, and without Konoha these clans would still be fighting each other."

"However," Chiyu's tone suddenly became much more serious, "although the clan has made contributions to the founding of Konoha, it must never be above the village, especially as the village has gradually absorbed more and more civilian ninjas, the importance of the clan in the village has diminished a lot."

"Two of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha were not from clans, which is the first time that commoner ninjas of Konoha have surpassed clan ninjas, especially."

At this point, Chiyu looked at Uchiha Shisui's attentive expression and slowly said, "The Senju clan disbanded and merged into Konoha, and their bloodline has led to a great number of talented civilian ninjas emerging in Konoha."

"At this time, some families still hold on tightly to their power. If they don't let go, it will cause dissatisfaction. After all, there are only so many positions. The capable rise and the mediocre fall. Why should someone be able to hold on to their position forever?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui completely overturned his previous opinion. Senju Senba was clearly like him, someone who placed the village above his clan.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Shisui asked with a hint of intimacy, "So, Chiba, you also believe that the clan should make way for the village's development, instead of remaining stagnant."

"Like the Senju clan behind you?"

Qianyu, who was cutting mutton, paused. So, not only did the other person have poor eyesight, but they were also selective about what they heard?

Did you not hear the words "mutual dependence" at all?

Chiyu stuffed a piece of mutton into her mouth, quietly looking at the other person, "Shisui-senpai, are you confident you can disband the Uchiha clan?"

Upon hearing Chiyu's question, Uchiha Shisui paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head. He couldn't even ask them to stop nagging, let alone disband the group.

"That's it. The idea is great, but reality is harsh." After shrugging, Qianyu picked up a hind leg and started gnawing on it.

"But if the Senju clan can do this for the village, why..." Uchiha Shisui asked, puzzled. The Senju and Uchiha clans had worked together to establish Konoha, so why couldn't they do the same?

"Because the Senju clan had a patriarch named Senju Hashirama, and his decisions determined the future of the clan," Senba revealed the true reason for the Senju clan's demise: nothing more than sheer power.

After hearing Chiyu bluntly state the key to the clan's dissolution, Uchiha Shisui silently lowered his head, wondering where in his clan could he find such a person.

Chief Fugaku is already finding it difficult to maintain the current situation.

So, is power still needed? With power, can we change the mind of our people? With power, can we make the village and our clan live in peace?

As he thought of this, the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in Uchiha Shisui's eyes, spinning wildly with his excited emotions, occasionally trembling, but eventually returning to normal.

Sensing the unusual chakra fluctuations on the other side, Chiba knew that the other party had gone to an extreme. Uchiha Shisui clearly believed that dismembering the clan was the only solution.

Shaking her head, Chiyu's belief that the Uchiha clan was an unstable factor became increasingly ingrained. Their thinking was too extreme; couldn't they compromise? Couldn't they negotiate?

However, today Chiyu witnessed what a genius truly is; his words actually caused Uchiha Shisui's three-tomoe Sharingan to fluctuate.

If the Mangekyou Sharingan awakens prematurely, will it bring disaster upon the Uchiha clan?

Just as his thoughts were wandering, Uchiha Shisui's emotions also calmed down. He stood up and bowed deeply to Chiba.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Qianyu. Don't worry, I won't reveal a single word of our conversation today. It's getting late, I should get some rest."

Watching the other person's departing figure, Qianyu's lips twitched. In truth, he didn't care that his words had reached the Third Hokage's ears.

Chiba knew that her statement about prioritizing the village over her family would obviously please Hiruzen Sarutobi, so she didn't take it to heart at all.

I've talked too much just now, it's time to have a good meal. Looking at the tempting roast lamb, Qianyu's mouth is watering.
