Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

Northwest of Konoha, a dedicated conference room for the Land of Fire.

Early in the morning, representatives of all forces who received notification from Konoha ANBU came here early, found seats marked with the symbols of their respective forces, and sat upright, waiting for the initiator of this meeting to arrive.

Shengshu didn't keep these people waiting for long. After breakfast, he said hello to his grandma and then came to the conference room alone.

This is the second time Naoki has set foot here since the meeting that decided the future of Konoha.

"Hokage-dono!"

Regardless of whether it was true or false, when everyone saw the rope tree coming, they stood up to greet him.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Please sit down!"

Glancing at the packed conference room, Shengshu nodded with satisfaction and returned the greeting to everyone with a smile.

"Hokage-sama, you're welcome!"

After everyone took their seats, Sheng Shu turned his attention to the seats of the representatives of the four major countries.

The two positions closest to him are on the left hand side, the new fourth generation Mizukage Goju Yagura of Kirigakure Village, and on the right hand side, the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure.

Next to Yagura and Rasa, sat respectively the representative of Kumogakure Village - the secretary of the former third generation Raikage Ai - Munai and the third generation Tsuchikage's son Huangtu.

Next to them were Mifune, the general of the Kingdom of Iron, and Hanzo, the demigod of the Kingdom of Rain, Sanshouyu.

Further back, representatives from each small shinobi village were lined up on both sides.

Munai's face was calm, not showing any signs of being unnatural because he was in Konoha.

Young loess is different.

He has inherited the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage before he was even thirty years old, and his character has not become deeper as a result.

Especially when facing the ninja leader of the Country of Rain who killed his father on the battlefield.

At this moment, Huang Tu was looking at Sansho Hanzo, who was sitting directly opposite him, with hatred in his eyes.

Hanzo was still wearing the gas mask that he never left, and most of his face was covered by the mask, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

Looking at Loess who stared at him with eyes filled with hatred, Sanshouyu Hanzo sighed secretly and shook his head slightly.

"Your Excellency the Fourth Tsuchikage, as an elder, I have a suggestion for you."

"If you don't want Iwagakure Village to disappear, it's best to let go of your hatred for the Land of Rain!"

Huangtu's expression was slightly startled, obviously he did not expect Sanshouyu Hanzo to speak out at this critical moment when the Fourth Hokage arrived.

"Long before the end of the Second Ninja War, the Country of Rain, under the leadership of me, joined the Hokage-sama."

"Your hatred towards me has no reason at all."

"Furthermore, if I remember correctly, you Iwagakure should be the culprit who initiated the war against the Land of Rain and caused the death of the third Tsuchikage, right?"

As soon as Hanzo's words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

On the one hand, it was because of Hanzo's courage that he dared to break the silence of the conference room without the Fourth Hokage saying anything; on the other hand, it was because of the information in Hanzo's words.

"What?"

"Is the Kingdom of Rain originally a subsidiary force of Konoha? I have never heard of it before."

"Wait a minute, during the Second Ninja War, the Fourth Hokage was still a child, right? At that time, he had already conquered the ninja demigods? What a terrible plan!"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but turn their attention to Shengshu who was sitting in the main seat.

Huangtu's pupils shrank and he looked at the rope tree in disbelief.

He only knew that the three strong men of the younger generation in Amegakure Village, including Nagato who killed his father head-on, were all disciples of the Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, when he learned the news, Huangtu unconsciously transferred the hatred of Nagato for killing his father to Sansho Hanzo.

He never thought that he and the current Iwagakure Village had the ability to take revenge on the disciples of the Fourth Hokage.

But now.

Huang Tu was obviously not very good at hiding his emotions, his eyes instantly dimmed and he lowered his head dejectedly.

Naoki glanced at Hanzo and shook his head slightly.

"The Third Ninja War has ended long ago. Don't mention anything related to this meeting anymore!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo closed his mouth and nodded respectfully:

"yes!"

A hint of hatred flashed through Huang Tu's lowered eyes, and he clenched his hands silently.

Naoki looked at Huang Tu with his head lowered, and could easily guess the inner thoughts of the young fourth generation Kage.

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

"The root cause of the Third Tsuchikage's war and his final death was that he was bewitched by others and aroused the greed in his heart."

"If Lord Tsuchikage wants to know more in detail, you can come to see me in person later."

"Now the ninja world is facing an unprecedented crisis. I hope that Lord Tsuchikage will not let hatred blind his eyes and focus on this joint meeting."

Glancing at Huangtu, who was still silent, Shengshu shook his head and turned his attention to the representatives of other forces in the field.

"Everyone!"

"Since the beginning of Konoha's establishment, it has adhered to the will of the two founders, the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara, and has been working hard for the goal of peace in the ninja world."

When everyone heard this, some nodded in agreement, but there were also many people with a hint of disapproval in their eyes.

Naoshu chuckled.

"hehe!"

"I know some of you may not believe it, thinking that I am putting a dent in myself and Konoha's face."

"But please think about it carefully. Since the establishment of the five great ninja villages, of all the large-scale wars that have occurred in the ninja world, was it our Konoha side that initiated any of them?"

As soon as Naoshu said these words, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly stopped.

Those guys who had a negative attitude just now thought about it, and their faces suddenly changed.

This. It seems like this is really the case.

After so many ninja wars, Konoha, as a passive opponent, has not been dragged down by war after war, but has become stronger.

And those forces that jump out to cause trouble every time eventually lose little benefit, and the village's strength becomes worse and worse than before.

They secretly compared their respective villages with the current prosperity of Konoha. Representatives of several major ninja villages in the field were secretly shocked and felt their faces getting a little hot at the same time.

This is a big deal

Outside the conference room, Senju Hashirama, who had been watching the progress of the talks from a distance, touched the shoulder of his old friend next to him and said happily:

"Madara, did you hear that?"

"That kid from Shengshu is truly my grandson. He handles these things quite like I did back then!"

Uchiha Madara listened to the words of determination from Naoki's mouth, and a subtle smile flashed in his eyes.

After being resurrected for so long, he had seen the changes in Konoha with his eyes, and had compared them in his heart.

If there was no estrangement between him and the Senju Hashira and they worked together for Konoha, how would that kind of Konoha compare to a village under the rule of the rope tree?

The answer is self-evident

Regardless of strength or means, he and Senju Hashirama were completely defeated!

The task of being sent to various forces to inform them to come to Konoha to participate in talks can be regarded as his most recognized expression of the rope tree's decision.

At this moment, when he heard Senju Hashirama's somewhat shameless boast, he immediately snorted with a straight face.

"snort!"

"You? You are far worse than that boy from Shengshu!"

"If Naoki is like you and humbles himself to beg those losers for peace, then Konoha might as well be destroyed!"

Uchiha Madara remembered Senju Hashirama's embarrassing performance at the first Five Kage Conference initiated for the so-called peace of the ninja world. He snorted coldly and slapped Senju Hashirama's palm away.

Senju Tobirama, who had been silent all this time, ignored the daily bickering between the two people. Looking at the rope tree flowing freely in the conference room, he sighed:

"Blindly giving in will only allow those greedy guys to advance. This kind of peace achieved on the surface is just an excuse for them to ask for more benefits."

"Being tough will only allow hatred to grow secretly. Although I dare not resist because of the power of Konoha, the peace gained in this way is nothing more than rootless duckweed."

"For example, Big Brother and Madara back then"

Qianju Tobijian paused for a moment and continued:

"Big brother's kindness, Madara's strength."

"This child, Shen Shu, has the strengths of both of you at the same time and combined them into one."

"Judging from the current situation in Konoha, as long as the Otsutsuki clan can survive this crisis, peace in the ninja world may be coming."
