Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

"Isn't the reason why the Senju clan's strength has weakened because too many people have sacrificed for the village?"

My father died, my uncle died, my brother died, and now my son has died.

Which of them didn't die for the village?

The Nine-Tails seal is the foundation of the Senju clan. Only our Senju clan possesses powerful sealing techniques, and only my niece Kushina can withstand the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The sealing of the Nine-Tails must be completed by our Senju clan! I will absolutely not compromise on this matter.

Ye Guang listened with great interest; it seemed that neither side would compromise.

As long as the Nine-Tails exists, the Senju clan will remain the largest ninja clan in Konoha.

Even though the Senju clan suffered countless casualties and weakened to the extreme, they were still the most important ninja clan in the village.

If we back down this time and hand over the Nine-Tails' seal to the Anbu, the Anbu can use the excuse of maintaining the Nine-Tails' seal to seize the guardianship of the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Don't argue here. This is not the place to argue."

Danzo remained expressionless, while Senju Rinki gritted his teeth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Rinki Senju's stubborn, even somewhat ferocious, expression, his eyes shifting several times before finally saying:

“This constant arguing isn’t a solution; Mrs. Mito’s mind is becoming increasingly unclear.”

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox transfer seal must never be performed within the village; if anything goes wrong, half the village will perish.

"Chief Linmu, please devise a plan first, and begin preparations for the Nine-Tails' transfer seal."

Senju Rinmoku's eyes lit up. Had the village finally compromised and given in?

Danzo turned to look at Hiruzen, puzzled as to why Hiruzen wasn't following the original plan and continuing to pressure Senju Rinki.

"Alright! Lord Hokage, I will devise a perfect sealing plan!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his expression filled with worry:

"Chief Linmu, I understand your position."

Do the Senju clan truly possess the ability to seal the Nine-Tails? How much power are you willing to contribute?

Danzo said that the Senju clan's strength has declined, which is an indisputable fact.

I hope you will come up with a feasible plan to ensure the Nine-Tails seal remains intact, instead of just making empty pronouncements about your position.

Senju Rinmoku said with absolute certainty:

"Lord Hokage, the Senju clan has been researching how to unite the power of more people."

Indeed, the number of Kage-level and elite ninjas in the Senju clan has decreased significantly, but we never blindly believe in individuals; we prefer to rely on unity.

The Senju clan possesses a combined sealing technique that can gather the power of every Senju member.

"At that time, I will arrange for all the Senju clan ninjas, regardless of age or gender, to complete the seal!"

Hearing only a few words from afar, Ye Guang was filled with horror.

Is Senju Rinmoku willing to risk the entire Senju clan's fortune for the sake of sealing the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Could the Nine-Tails' transfer and sealing be the night of the Senju clan's annihilation?

Ye Guang was shaken. No, he absolutely could not allow the Senju clan to be wiped out like in the original story.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo walked towards the Hokage Building.

There was no one around them; the secret service had cleared them out.

Danzo asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said:

"The Second Shinobi World War only lasted for a little over two years, but too many people from Konoha died."

In two years, a quarter of Konoha's ninjas died.

Because of the death of a relative, more and more people in the village are dissatisfied with me.

I cannot take risks, I cannot allow any accidents, I must keep the Nine-Tails firmly under control.

"Danzo, execute your plan. Go to the front lines and find Orochimaru."

Danzo nodded and vanished in an instant.

The next morning, after the shift change, Ye Guang followed Captain Huang Quan back to the Dark Division base.

Captain Yellow Dog issued an order requiring all squad leaders and platoon leaders to study the combined sealing technique, investigate its history, and gather intelligence.

At this time, the Anbu were not skilled in sealing techniques, and the Root ninjas did not have the Tongue Root Calamity Seal.

Ye Guang did possess several sealing techniques, including the Self-Karmic Binding Seal and the Contract Seal.

The self-inflicted curse seal comes from the system, while the contract seal comes from the scroll that Yuga gave herself.

He pretended to discuss the joint sealing technique with the squad leader so as not to share the sealing techniques he knew.

As time went by, the Nine-Tails' chakra became increasingly volatile.

On the 12th of the second month, the Senju clan was finally about to begin sealing the Nine-Tails.

As night fell, the lights in the Thousand Hands Clan's territory went out one by one.

Doors opened one by one, and the Thousand Hands ninjas emerged from their homes.

Husband and wife, father and son, brothers and sisters.

Every ninja who graduated from the ninja academy was given a robe bearing the Senju clan crest.

Unlike ninja vests, the Senju clan's robes are like those of nobles, with wide sleeves and flowing garments.

This is a ninja clan filled with pride and with a history spanning thousands of years.

Every member of the Thousand Hands tribe had a face etched with pride.

Once the Nine-Tails' transfer seal is completed, the Senju clan will continue to prosper for decades, centered around Kushina Uzumaki.

Back then, Hashirama left the Nine-Tails to Konoha and the Senju clan because he believed that only the Senju and Uzumaki clans were capable of controlling it.

Unexpectedly, the Senju clan is now in decline and can only slowly recover its strength by relying on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Now, the Senju clan has reached its worst moment. The clan's hope, the young clan leader Nawaki, has sacrificed himself on the front lines. It is also time for the Senju clan to bounce back from rock bottom.

Kushina Uzumaki will become the next Kage-level ninja of the Senju clan.

Ye Guang stood on the rooftop outside the Senju clan's territory, taking one last look at the empty Senju clan's territory.

Within the clan's territory, only some children who hadn't yet graduated from the ninja academy remained.

These children carried swaddled babies on their backs, and inside those swaddled babies were infants even smaller than themselves.

At the entrance to the clan's settlement, there were some elderly disabled people eagerly waiting.

As far as I know, apart from a few Senju clan members in key positions like Tsunade, the rest of the Senju ninja have returned to the front lines.

Deep within the clan's territory, Mito Uzumaki moved sluggishly, needing to rest for a few seconds after each step. With the help of others, she slowly boarded the carriage.

Kushina Uzumaki also boarded the carriage.

This time, it wasn't a disguise from the previous battle at Niuhe Mountain; it was a genuine transfer of the seal.

The wheels rolled slowly, carrying the two ninjas, one old and one young, outwards.

Around the carriage were eight elite members of the Thousand Hands clan.

Tonight may be the end of the Senju clan, their final swan song.

Chapter 78 Nine-Tailed Fox Transfer Seal

Making choices is painful.

The choice is not between a good and a bad, but between choosing the good, the advantageous one.

Instead, it's a difficult choice between a very bad outcome and an extremely bad one—the one that's relatively less bad for oneself.

The Senju clan now has two choices.

One option is to relinquish guardianship of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the village, thus losing one's trump card.

The other option is to barely complete the Nine-Tails seal, but then have to face the possibility of the Nine-Tails going berserk.

Having witnessed the glory of the Thousand Hands Clan, even at great risk, he would never relinquish his trump cards and influence.

After the Senju ninjas left their clan's territory, Hiruzen Sarutobi led four battalions of the Anbu to follow them.

Ye Guang found it strange, wondering where Danzo had gone. Logically speaking, how could Danzo have missed such an occasion?

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I hadn't seen Danzo for a while, and Danzo hadn't been in the Anbu.

Walking through Konoha Village, Yagami noticed many Jonin standing on rooftops in the distance.

The Uchiha clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Inuzuka clan, the Hyuga clan, and so on.

These high-ranking ninja from various clans sensed the unusual behavior of the Senju clan and came out to see them off.

The Senju clan's ranks have a faint air of tragic grandeur.

At the main gate of Konoha, the guarding ninja opened the gate in the middle of the night, disregarding the permission to leave the village, and all the Senju ninja passed through the gate.

Far from the village, the Senju clan chose a good location.

Valley of the End.

Statues of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha stand on either side of the waterfall.

The Valley of the End is the pride of the Senju clan and a symbol of Hashirama Senju ending the chaos of the world.

Mito Uzumaki slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Her once red hair had long since turned as white as snow.

She looked towards the waterfall in the distance, gazing up at the towering statue of the Thousand-Armed Hashirama, a hint of nostalgia on her face.

At this moment, she was no longer the Jinchūriki who had sealed the Nine-Tails for Konoha for decades, no longer the most senior ninja in the village, and no longer the matriarch of the Senju clan.

She felt as if she had returned to more than sixty years ago, to the day she first met Hashirama Senju, when she was also looking up at him.

In his memories, Hashirama Senju is a young man, full of vigor and leading the Senju clan's youths into the Uzumaki clan's territory.

The entire Whirlpool Clan was in an uproar because of the arrival of the young Thousand Hands Clan Chief; the village was like a festival.

The Uzumaki clan held the Chunin Exams, and the young Senju clan leader led the team to participate.

During the Chunin Exams, Hashirama Senju displayed ridiculously strong abilities and an unusual way of thinking.

He stood in the center of the field and said proudly:

"Pair up with Genin from the Senju clan and Genin from the Uzumaki clan. You'll have half an hour to get to know each other and devise a strategy."

"Let's all attack together. I'm in a hurry; I need to deal with Madara Uchiha as soon as possible."

The father, the Uzumaki clan chief, didn't think Hashirama Senju was being ridiculous. He chuckled and asked all the Senju and Uzumaki ninjas to team up in pairs.

Mito Uzumaki remembers that she was furious at the time and teamed up with the Senju female ninja, Momoma Senju, vowing to strike back at Hashirama Senju's arrogant arrogance.

However, neither she nor Momo could last even five seconds.

The reason they could hold out for three or four seconds was because they were both female ninjas.

How could there be such a strong ninja?

After the Chunin Exams, Hashirama became an idol for the young members of the Uzumaki clan.

And she, the one who was defeated by him, became Hashirama Senju's fiancée at the final announcement ceremony of the exam.

She kept her head down, her face flushed, and dared not look at Hashirama Senju.

Seeing Hashirama's statue again, Mito Uzumaki thought to herself, "Having spent my whole life with Hashirama, I don't know why, but I always feel like I've never truly entered his heart."

Before I die, let me do one last thing for Hashirama.

She held Kushina's hand and said, "Kushina, I hope that in the future you will meet a heroic ninja who will fill your heart, resolve all your confusion, and soothe all your anxieties."

Kushina Uzumaki stubbornly said, "Grandma, I will become a great hero ninja on my own. I don't need another man."

"Haha, good, Kushina, with the help of the Nine-Tails, you will definitely become a great ninja in the future."

Mito Uzumaki, holding Kushina's hand, walked towards the center of the Senju ninja.
