Naruto: Son-in-Law Konoha

Chapter 27: Escape from the hand of 'destiny'

After Mito Uzumaki returned to the Senju clan, he took Tsunade directly back to his residence.

Qiuying stood quietly in front of the gate. When she saw Mito and Tsunade, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Mito-sama."

Uzumaki Mito kept walking, passed Qiu Sakura, and said as he walked into the door: "How are Kushina and Yukie?"

Qiuying glanced behind Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade for a few times before replying: "They were tired from crying and have fallen asleep now."

Mito Uzumaki hummed slightly and went straight up the stairs.

Qiuying hesitated and said: "Mito-sama, I don't know that Master Yeyu..."

Uzumaki Mito paused, turned around, looked at Qiuying and said calmly: "Saya is going to live with his grandpa for a while."

"Yes."

Facing Uzumaki Mito's expressionless eyes, Qiuying lowered her head.

Uzumaki Mito walked alone in front, while Tsunade trailed a few steps behind and stood side by side with Qiu Sakura.

Tsunade patted Qiuying on the shoulder and said: "Sister Qiuying, grandma is not in a good mood."

Qiuying lowered her head and said, "I understand how Mito-sama feels at this time."

Entering the room, Uzumaki Mito did not lie down on the bed as usual, but sat on the soft cushions.

Her expression was indifferent, and her beautiful eyes revealed the fierceness that had been sleeping for a long time.

Tsunade and Qiu Sakura, who had just come in, saw Uzumaki Mito's posture, looked at each other, and walked into the room gently.

Uzumaki Mito said: "Aki Sakura, sit down."

Qiuying, who originally wanted to stand aside, did not hesitate and sat at the tea table with Tsunade.

Mito Uzumaki poured a cup of tea for Tsunade and Qiu Sakura, then lowered his eyes and drank his own tea silently without saying a word.

There was silence in the room for a long time.

"Xiao Tsuna, what do you think of the current Thousand Hands clan?"

After hearing Uzumaki Mito's calm words, Tsunade looked at Qiuying beside her.

It's just that Qiu Ying has kept her head down since she sat down, and her face can't be seen at all.

"..."

Tsunade bit her silver teeth secretly, and could only "consider" and said: "I think it's not bad. People in the village still respect and admire the Senju clan. Even the most ordinary people in our clan can get some extraordinary things." treatment.”

Uzumaki Mito glanced at Tsunade lightly, sipped her tea and said, "Aki Sakura, what do you think?"

"The Senju clan has entered a period of decline. The number of ninjas in the clan has dropped significantly, and among the existing ninjas, there are almost no strong ones."

After Qiuying finished speaking, she glanced at Tsunade and added: "Of course, Miss Tsunade is considered a strong person."

Tsunade's face was a little rosy, and she gave Qiuying a 'vicious' look.

"That's right, the largest clan in the ninja world in the past has now reached its sunset."

Uzumaki Mito said, his expression calm, without any regrets or sighs.

"But this is what Hashirama and Tobirama want to see."

Uzumaki Mito ignored Tsunade's hesitation and said: "As a family that jointly founded Konoha Village with Uchiha, the Senju clan has Hashirama's presence, whether in Konoha or in the Land of Fire. Their status is far beyond what the Uchiha clan can compare to."

"Therefore, not long after the founding of Konoha, Hashirama decided to 'annihilate' the Senju clan. He believed that the Senju clan's transcendent status would only hinder and destroy the balance of Konoha's development."

Tsunade couldn't help it, and half stood up and said: "Grandma, you..."

Mito Uzumaki ignored Tsunade again.

"At that time, the majority of the Senju clan were opposed to Hashirama, but because Tobirama and I supported Hashirama, those people couldn't do anything."

Uzumaki Mito stopped and glanced at Qiuying, who lowered his head, and continued: "In terms of 'annihilating' the Senju clan, my 'contribution' is definitely greater than that of Hashirama and Tobirama."

"It can even be said that I contributed to the decline of the Thousand Hands Clan."

"But lately, I've started to look at what I've done."

Uzumaki Mito's lowered eyes showed a hint of sadness, but his voice remained as calm as water.

"Whether it's the Country of Whirlpool or Xiaoye, they all made me discover one thing."

"In the ninja world, personal strength is important, but having powerful external forces that can be used by oneself is equally indispensable."

Uzumaki Mito raised his head and said to Tsunade: "Tsuna, I'm going to hold a clan meeting. You go and inform Senju Takashi and other clan elders."

"Go."

"Oh……"

There were obviously countless questions on Tsunade's face.

However, after meeting Mito Uzumaki's eyes, she shut her mouth, got up obediently, and walked out of the room.

After Tsunade left, Qiuying raised her head for the first time and said silently: "Mito-sama, are you sure?"

Uzumaki Mito stood up and walked to the window, looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance outside the window.

"Qiuying, I already feel the passage of life."

"Maybe as people get older, they always become selfish."

"I want to keep the Thousand Hands clan as the backing of Xiaozuna and Naoshu..."

…………

"Everyone is summoned today to discuss the election of the leader of the Thousand Hands Clan who has been vacant for many years."

"What! Did I hear correctly?"

"Elect a clan leader?"

"Mito-sama, are you kidding me?"

In the conference room, Uzumaki Mito sat alone in the chair. On the wall behind him was a huge emblem representing the Senju clan of the forest.

A total of seven people were present on both sides of the long conference table that ran across the room, including the great elder Senju Takashi, sitting under Uzumaki Mito.

Senju Takashi frowned, while the other six people expressed their opinions on Uzumaki Mito.

Chaotic and noisy.

Mito Uzumaki sighed inwardly, his face turned cold, and he said solemnly: "Quiet! Are you all women who come to the market to buy vegetables?"

The meeting room fell silent for an instant.

There were six people at the table, old and young. After hearing Uzumaki Mito's words, several of them immediately blushed.

Obviously, he felt hugely humiliated.

However, these people did not dare to say anything, not even glaring angrily.

There are three older people with gray hair, but they are very shameless and are not affected at all.

They all looked at Senju Takashi who was sitting in the first place.

Senju Takashi kept exchanging glances with these three people, and then said: "Mito, first tell us why you want to elect a clan leader."

In fact, Senju Takashi and other old people agreed with Uzumaki Mito's words.

Because, since the death of Senju Tobirama, there has been chaos within the Senju clan. Everyone with a certain status is a lord with lofty ideals. There are many "small groups", and the huge Senju clan has no cohesion at all. .

Although Senju Takashi and others have made a lot of efforts and opened clan meetings several times to establish themselves as clan leaders.

However, no one can subdue all the members of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Even for Senju Takashi, there are a lot of people in the Senju clan who dislike him.

In a clan meeting where he shamelessly wanted to recommend himself as clan leader, Senju Takashi was severely humiliated by some people.

The bickering and foul language made Senju Takashi so angry that he almost died on the spot.

Of course, the Senju clan has been unable to elect a clan leader, and Uzumaki Mito's 'effort' is indispensable.

No matter what, the Thousand Hands clan has indeed been without a clan leader for nearly ten years!

Therefore, when I heard Uzumaki Mito actually said that he wanted to choose a clan leader for the Senju clan.

Senju Takashi and several other elderly people were instantly filled with huge surprises, and they even couldn't believe what they heard.

Because in the past, Uzumaki Mito had always been concerned about the clan leader's affairs, which had nothing to do with him.

If not, in the eyes of Senju Takashi and others, with Uzumaki Mito's strength and status, how could the position of clan leader have been vacant for so many years!
