Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 27 Taojian: Mom loves me the most!

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

"Tsunade, be good."

"."

Mito Uzumaki wiped away Tsunade's tears and patiently comforted her, gradually calming her down.

However, Senju Momoma, who was standing to the side, stood there motionless as if struck by lightning, still unable to recover from the shock.

My second uncle is dead?

That's impossible!

My second uncle possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his entire body is covered in powerful forbidden techniques. If he wants to leave, who in the ninja world can stop him?

However, reality is right in front of us, and no matter how much we don't want to believe it, we still have to accept it.

Tears welled in Momoma Senju's eyes as he recalled the moments he spent with Tobirama Senju. After his father, Hashirama Senju, died, Tobirama Senju took on the role of a father, teaching him as if he were his own son.

"Momoma, now is not the time for sadness."

"I know."

Senju Momoma wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and went to another room with Uzumaki Mito.

Senju Momoma felt a little nervous, eagerly awaiting news from Uzumaki Mito.

The fact that he was in such a hurry to recall himself from the front lines must be related to the Third Hokage of Konoha.

Momoma Senju is ready to take over as the Third Hokage.

"According to Tobirama's dying wish, the candidate to serve as the Third Hokage is Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"What?"

Senju Momoka could hardly believe his ears. Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Who the hell is he?

Does he have the right to covet the Hokage position in Konoha just because of the Sarutobi clan behind him?

You said Tobirama passed the leadership to Kagami Uchiha, and even Momoma Senju could grit his teeth and accept it.

Wait a minute, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't Uncle's bodyguard. Uncle is dead, how could he come back?

conspiracy!

This is a conspiracy!!

"This is impossible!!"

Senju Momoma instantly broke down, disbelieving Uzumaki Mito's words. She asked him repeatedly before finally believing him.

"Mother, you called me back in such a hurry, do you want me to help Hiruzen Sarutobi rise to power?"

Senju Momoma's face was cold and incomprehensible. He couldn't understand his second uncle's decision. No matter how the Hokage position was passed down, it would never fall to someone as lowly as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even if the Senju clan reluctantly agreed, the Uchiha would never accept it.

This is bad news!

Mito Uzumaki sighed. She came from a prestigious ninja clan and was well-versed in history. She knew all too well the sordid affairs within powerful families.

People are capable of fighting tooth and nail for the position of clan leader, even causing internal strife, let alone the Kage of Konoha.

She should support Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even her own son might turn against her immediately.

Senju Momoma's identity is that of the young clan leader of the Senju clan. Now she has been automatically promoted to clan leader. As long as he raises his arm, the Senju clan can put her under house arrest instantly.

She could really bring herself to fight her own son.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Stop dreaming!

"How could that be? Of course I support you."

Mito Uzumaki immediately expressed her stance, which reassured Momoma Senju, and her expression improved considerably.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is just a minor character; your real rival is the Uchiha."

Momoka Senju nodded; he didn't take Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously.

If he wanted to, with the power of the Senju clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have been stabbed in the back with five shuriken today and ultimately judged as having committed suicide.

The Uchiha clan is the real threat!

"Now, a powerful figure has emerged in the Uchiha clan who may rival Madara Uchiha in the future. He has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

The moment Uchiha Madara was mentioned, the image of Uchiha Madara riding Susanoo across the battlefield instantly appeared in Senju Momoma's mind.

In this ninja world, no ninja is worthy of being Madara Uchiha's opponent, except for his father, Hashirama Senju.

Now that such a figure has appeared in the Uchiha clan, I am far inferior to my father, Hashirama Senju.

Without a doubt, the Uchiha clan has set its sights on the Third Hokage's throne this time.

Senju Momoma's mood became anxious again. He hated that he had not inherited his father's Sage Body, Wood Release, and Sage Mode that could be activated instantly.

Compared to his father, Hashirama Senju, he was just an ordinary person.

Compared to ordinary ninjas, they only have a little more ninjutsu talent, a little more chakra, and a little more regenerative ability.

That makes us completely uncompetitive!

"Don't underestimate yourself. You've only shown a little potential. Someone like Madara Uchiha isn't so easy to come by."

"Just a reminder, don't forget who your real opponent is."

Seeing that Momoma Senju's confidence was shaken, Mito Uzumaki spoke slowly.

Throughout the Uchiha clan's thousand-year history, every few generations a genius would emerge who could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and correspondingly, the Senju clan would also produce geniuses who could rival the Uchiha, as if it had become a tradition.

Madara Uchiha was special. The Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the past were far less powerful than Madara Uchiha, and the Susanoo residing in his eyes appeared very rarely.

The reason why Mito Uzumaki held Uchiha Nan in such high regard was simply because Uchiha Nan had demonstrated the power of Susanoo, but it was not invincible.

Mito Uzumaki recalled Tobirama Senju's research. Madara Uchiha's ability to become an exception, with strength far surpassing that of the Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in history, had long fueled Tobirama Senju's burning passion for scientific research.

According to Tobirama's speculation, the Uchiha clan's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan has flaws; if they continue to use it, they will eventually exhaust their eye power and go blind.

To compensate for this deficiency, the only option is to acquire the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is related to the wearer. Madara Uchiha acquired the eyes of his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, which led to a qualitative change in his strength.

Although it's just speculation, Tobirama's statement is certainly not unfounded. Perhaps Tobirama had already dug up Madara Uchiha's grave and put his body on Tobirama's experimental table.

Uchiha Nan's parents died early, and he had no siblings, so the possibility of him getting a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan was extremely slim.

"Momoma, don't you think Hiruzen Sarutobi would be very useful at this time?"

"Since Tobirama has taken a liking to him, why not send him out first? We won't need to lift a finger; the Uchiha won't let him go anyway. It'll be a good opportunity to gauge that Uchiha's strength and gather more information."

Great idea!

Momoka Senju's eyes lit up. In the war of ninjas, the power of intelligence is self-evident. There are too many strange and wonderful ninjutsu in the ninja world, and there are many Jonin who have been defeated due to insufficient intelligence.

"Then I'll listen to Mother."

A sly smile appeared on Momoma Senju's face. Her mother was indeed wise and resourceful, always thinking of her own interests.

Mom, you really do love me the most!

Seeing that her son agreed with her opinion, Mito Uzumaki nodded with satisfaction.

Hiruzen, don't blame me.

At least on the issue of dealing with the Uchiha, the Senju clan and I support you. If you can resolve the Uchiha issue, then the Senju will not be an obstacle for you.

As for Mito Uzumaki's promise to Hiruzen Sarutobi to help him deal with the Uchiha clan, Mito Uzumaki has selectively forgotten about it.

Times have changed. Back then, there weren't any Uchiha ninjas who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
