Naruto: In the name of the Senju, he made the ninja world tremble.
Chapter 82: Insulting Oneself?
Senju Unka was sitting in the council chamber of the Senju old house. The room was brightly lit, and the large wooden table was covered with scrolls, ledgers and documents.
As one of the only two remaining elders of the Senju clan, he could have lived a peaceful and leisurely old age, but he still chose to devote himself to these complicated affairs.
This is not a sign that he covets power. What power could the Senju clan possibly have left to covet? This is simply an old man concerned about the rise and fall of his clan, using this method to mask the pain in his heart.
Just then, light and respectful footsteps came from outside the door.
The attendant bowed and said in a very low voice, "Elder, Lord Tao Hua requests your presence. He says he has important matters to discuss."
Qian Shou Yunhua didn't even raise his head, simply replying with a faint, "Understood."
After the servants left, he slowly put down his pen and glanced at the thick stack of papers on the corner of the table. The papers were covered with amounts and signatures, and it was Tsunade's new bill.
He casually picked up the stack of bills, held them in his hand, got up, and walked out. In his view, this was commonplace and nothing out of the ordinary.
Tsunade is currently recognized by the Senju family and the outside world as the heir. The remaining property in the Senju ancestral home after the split is nominally all hers.
Tsunade was addicted to gambling, and her debts were like flowing water. Every year, her family would help her pay off most of them. Senju Unka's older sister never restrained her too much. As long as she was safe and sound, the amount of money she spent was not worth mentioning.
After passing through several corridors, he arrived at the main courtyard where his sister lived. As soon as he entered, he keenly sensed something different.
"Sister, you seem to be in a good mood today. Is there something you wanted to see me about?"
Looking at her sister, whose brows usually carried a heavy and weary look, now almost completely gone, Qian Shou Yun Hua couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Granny Taohua looked up, her gaze falling on him. She then noticed the thick stack of papers in his hand, which was particularly eye-catching. Her brows furrowed slightly. "What is this? Why is it so thick?"
"It's nothing, it's just Tsunade's gambling debts," Senju Unka said, extending her hand to her sister. "I'll have someone settle the debts after I leave you, sister."
After saying that, he planned to take the bill back. As countless times before, his sister had no interest in seeing such things. At most, she would just tell him to "be careful" and then say nothing more.
"show me."
"OK!"
Granny Taohua's usually gentle and calm eyes flashed with a hint of scrutiny. Instead of ignoring her as usual, she extended her hand, her tone brooking no refusal, "Let me see!"
While Senju Unka was still in a daze, he instinctively handed over the bill in his hand.
The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of turning pages. Granny Taohua ran her fingertips over the paper, reading slowly. Her expression gradually changed from calm to complicated, and finally, her brows furrowed slightly.
A moment later, Granny Taohua slowly put down the bill, looked up at her younger brother, her eyes filled with heartache and helplessness, and her tone was full of sighs, "He's really becoming more and more indulgent."
Senju Unka was puzzled. "Sister, it's just some money, Tsunade...?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Granny Momoka gently interrupted him, her voice filled with unprecedented determination. "From today onwards, you will immediately reorganize the clan's accounts, and Tsunade's monthly allowance will be halved."
Senju Unka was startled: "Sister?"
"Halve it in half!" Granny Tao Hua repeated, her eyes resolute. "In addition, tell her to stop gambling and accumulating debts. If she insists on not listening, continue to reduce the amount until she curbs her ways or comes back to me."
Senju Unka stood there, speechless for a moment.
He looked at the long-lost hope for the future of the tribe in his sister's eyes, then glanced at the stack of gambling debts on the table that no one cared about, and finally nodded with a smile.
It's a pity, Tsunade is probably going to have a tough time.
Unaware that she had caused her teacher to fall into financial distress, Chiba was currently inside the chakra space, sitting opposite Sen no Chiba.
"What's the use of all those fancy tricks you've learned?" Sen no Chiba crossed her arms and looked at him with some disdain. "Once you have Wood Release, all of these will have to be discarded."
"I will not use Wood Release, or rather, I want to be seen by outsiders as Tobirama Senju's successor, not Hashirama Senju's successor."
"However, even if you truly awaken Wood Release, you still have to use it. So, who do you think would be suitable?"
Chiyu smiled and looked at Sen no Chiyu opposite her, and slowly spoke.
"Hahaha! Of course it's me, who else but me? But I haven't obtained the Spirit Transformation Technique yet, so let's not talk about anything else. Besides, I still need a Wood Release body, even if it's just a discarded one that can be used once!"
Mori no Chiba covered his forehead and laughed, his eyes seemingly already seeing the scene of him and his original self fooling the ninja world, but now there were too many things missing.
"This is also the most difficult part. Exchanging for the 'Spirit Transformation Technique' for no reason would attract too much attention, and I don't have enough merit points."
"I should accumulate missions as soon as possible. After being promoted to Special Jonin, I've become very interested in the Hashirama cells that Granny Momoka mentioned. I wonder how far they can push my bloodline?"
Chiyu thought of his agreement with Granny Momoka, and a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes. However, he also wondered how to get Granny Momoka to agree to make the charade real and hand over the Hashirama cells to him.
Chiyu felt like a hungry traveler who could see delicious food but could only watch from afar due to various restrictions.
"Don't overthink it. Since the plan has already been made, just execute it. Once you're strong enough, then take it. If you can't do it yourself, then let me do it."
Looking at Sen no Chiba's confident appearance, Chiba couldn't help but think of a saying: "Close the door, let go..." Cough cough, she had lost her mind, she cursed herself.
"I feel like you're thinking something impolite, why did you block shared memories just now?" Sen no Chiba looked at the original body with some suspicion. He knew this guy's characteristics all too well.
"It's alright, it's alright, let's cultivate," said the guilty-looking Chiyu, closing his eyes to rest. Seeing this, Sen no Chiyu snorted disdainfully and sat opposite him to circulate his chakra.
With their combined efforts, several blue lines, shimmering with the same color, slid into the darkness into the distance from the base of the chakra flame, which had expanded to more than five times its original size.
After an unknown amount of time, in the opposite direction, the blue patterns reappeared from the darkness, returning to the chakra flames and forming a perfect closed loop.
In the outer room, Qianyu was sitting cross-legged, her hands naturally forming a mudra, as if she were entering meditation, without any sign of anything unusual.
