Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

Before today, the Senju clan had always been the most hard-working people on the battlefield.

Whether it was the First Shinobi World War or the current Second Shinobi World War, the Senju clan has always been the ones leading the charge.

Whether they were Jonin or Genin, the Senju clan lived up to the village's reputation and the Will of Fire.

Ninjas who become Jonin are not fools.

The Senju clan claimed they wanted to strengthen the village's medical system, but their real purpose was to withdraw from the fighting.

More importantly, this represents a significant signal: Hiruzen Sarutobi's political credibility with the Senju clan has collapsed.

The Senju clan will no longer fully support Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Senju Hanamori and Tsunade laid everything out on the table, especially showing the number of Senju clan ninjas, to prove how much the Senju clan, once the largest ninja clan in Konoha, had sacrificed for Konoha.

Furthermore, any future large-scale casualties among the Senju clan ninjas will be meticulously recorded, down to the last individual.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately said:

"More than 150 Senju ninjas have become medical ninjas, which has had a huge impact on the village."

Tsunade, don't be willful. You are already an elite Jonin, and you even teamed up with Orochimaru and Jiraiya to force a draw against the demigod Hanzo, earning the title of one of the Legendary Sannin.

The Senju clan were the founding clan of Konoha; they can't be remembered as cowards, can they?

That's equivalent to swearing.

Tsunade angrily slammed her fist on the table:

"Third Hokage! Isn't it going too far to say that the Senju clan is afraid of war!"

More than 700 of my clansmen sacrificed their lives in the First Shinobi World War.

My grandfather died prematurely while fighting against Madara Uchiha.

My father, mother, grandmother, and more than seven hundred clansmen all died for the village's tailed beast!

Not counting the Nine-Tails' transfer and sealing, more than three hundred of my clansmen sacrificed themselves in the Second Shinobi World War.

My younger brother died in the Land of Grass for the sake of the village!

My second grandfather even sacrificed himself to protect the people on stage!

You're telling me the Senju clan fears war?

In terms of the Will of Fire, the Senju clan, with only about 200 ninjas remaining, possesses a will of fire that is purplish-red.

Tsunade's reply sounded like an insult.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face visibly turned ashen.

Especially after hearing that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had sacrificed himself for the sake of the people on the stage, the Jonin couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

The fate of the Senju clan filled the Jonin with a sense of shared sorrow.

Some people's gazes towards the higher-ups on the platform already carried hostility and scrutiny.

Ye Guang recalled the original story: Hiruzen Sarutobi's political credibility had collapsed under Tsunade's influence, which is why Tsunade did not return to the village until Hiruzen Sarutobi's death.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's political credibility collapsed under the influence of the Hyuga clan. When Orochimaru attacked Konoha, Yagami did not believe that the Hyuga clan had not discovered anything.

His political credibility slowly crumbled amid repeated internal conflicts.

In the end, he was left to face Orochimaru, who had murdered his master, all alone.

The simple-minded Might Guy tried several times to go to the rooftop to rescue the Hokage, but was stopped by Kakashi each time.

It's hard to say how much political credibility Hiruzen Sarutobi still has in Kakashina.

A politician dies not on the day he dies, but on the day he loses his political credibility.

The whispers among the Jonin made Hiruzen Sarutobi and his companions look even more unpleasant.

Even Danzo, who was usually calm and collected, had his eyelids twitching.

Tsunade hadn't stopped her relentless, storm-like attack; she continued shouting:

"Has the village become stronger despite the great sacrifices made by the Senju clan?"

When the Senju clan founded their village, there were more than 3,000 ninjas in the clan, as well as more than 2,000 relatives by marriage from the Uzumaki clan.

The Senju clan now has only two hundred ninjas left, and the Uzumaki clan has only Kushina left.

Did Konoha Village protect its own villagers by stepping on the sacrifices of the Senju clan?

My younger brother, Nawaki, died on the front lines at the age of 12.

Are more than half of Rope Tree's classmates still alive?

Third Hokage, I do not approve of your methods of protecting Konoha.

I admit what you're saying, that there's nothing you can do during wartime.

I don't have the power to change the current order of Konoha, but I will do everything in my power to help Konoha's medical system and protect Konoha in our own way!

The Jonin understood that this was a forceful announcement, not a discussion with the Third Hokage.

The Senju clan remained the most devoted ninja clan to Konoha, but the continuous deaths shattered their resolve.

Passion is hard to cool.

Entering the medical system was this ninja clan's last stand, their final decision.

Ye Guang suddenly recalled a conspiracy theory he had read in a past life.

It is said that many emperors of the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of imperial physicians.

Liu Wentai, a renowned imperial physician, was the only one to kill two emperors: Emperor Xianzong of Ming (Zhu Jianshen) and Emperor Xiaozong of Ming (Zhu Youcheng).

The Jiajing Emperor annihilated the Imperial Medical Academy, but he lived to be over sixty.

If the Senju clan were to take control of Konoha Hospital and the frontline medical department, their influence would increase rather than decrease.

On the night the Nine-Tails was transferred and sealed, Yako saved some Senju clan ninjas, but now the Senju clan's counterattack has begun.

Tsunade's fierce and relentless attacks shattered the illusion created by the higher-ups.

However, they could not do anything to Tsunade. Regardless of her status, strength, or personality, Tsunade was not someone they could control.

At this Jonin team meeting, Hiruzen Sarutobi and other high-ranking members lost face and were thoroughly slapped in the face.

Tsunade questioned why the villagers weren't properly protected, a point that left Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless.

So many people have died in the village that there's been discussion about when the cemetery behind the memorial will be expanded.

After taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Tsunade, you're not even willing to call me 'teacher' anymore?"

Tsunade did not back down at all:

"Third Hokage, this is a Jonin team meeting, not a place for reminiscing!"

When at work, please refer to yourself as the Hokage!

Ye Guang gasped. As expected of Tsunade, she is the true female lead of Naruto, second only to Sasuke.

Hiruzen Sarutobi got another snag and said:

"The matter concerning the Senju clan's proposal to strengthen Konoha Hospital and the frontline medical department is quite complex, and we will discuss it in detail later."

Today, let's discuss something more important: the war in the land of rivers.

The Sand Village declared war on Konoha, which had just experienced two major wars: the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Grass. The war in the Land of Grass also involved the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

Faced with the declaration of war from Sunagakure, Konoha must not show weakness.

Now, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the battlefield in the Land of Rivers are hereby announced.

Seeing that the Third Hokage was changing the subject, Tsunade didn't delay the important matter and sat down.

She achieved her goal, and so did the Senju clan.

Nara Shikaku took out the previously prepared list and glanced at the Third Hokage.

One of the deputy commanders on this list is Tsunade.

After realizing that the Third Hokage had given no further instructions, Nara Shikazu read from the list:

"Commander-in-Chief of the Battlefield in the Land of Rivers, Nara Shikaku."

Princess Tsunade, the deputy commander-in-chief, is also the Jonin in charge of the frontline medical department.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief: Sakumo Hatake; the Supreme Action Team is in charge of Jonin.

The remaining list of conscripted Jonin captains includes...

Chapter 114 Playing to One's Weaknesses and Avoiding One's Strengths - Uchiha

The Sand Ninja constantly change their poison formulas, making it easy to administer the poison but difficult to cure it.

Only Tsunade in Konoha has the ability to concoct an antidote in a short time.

In the war in the Land of Rivers, Tsunade was indispensable.

Even if Tsunade lost her temper in front of everyone, the higher-ups had no choice but to tolerate it and send Tsunade to the front line.

The long list was read aloud, with the names of forty Jonin being read in total.

If a Jonin were to command a large battalion, that would mean sending over 2000 ninjas into the Land of Rivers.

After reading the list, Nara Shikanobu looked at Tsunade.

Seeing that Tsunade wasn't going to continue her outburst, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Tsunade doesn't go to the front lines, I, as the commander-in-chief, will be in trouble.

The Nara clan raises deer for Konoha Village, and other precious medicinal herbs are also grown in the deer forest. They have always had a good relationship with Tsunade.

When Tsunade was a child, she spent a whole year in the Nara clan's deer forest to learn about the medicinal properties of herbs when she was learning medical ninjutsu.

The Jonin whose names were called looked at the three commanders, planning their own positions.

In the silence, Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Jon slowly stood up:

"Lord Hokage, my Uchiha clan is also willing to go to the battlefield and fight for Konoha."

"The Uchiha clan didn't even contribute to the village during the Second Shinobi World War, so why aren't any of my Uchiha clan's Jonin on the list?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was already troublesome enough, then the Senju clan caused trouble, and the Uchiha clan was also restless.

He was furious inside, but outwardly he patiently said:

"The further the Fourth Shinobi World War progresses, the more vulnerable Konoha becomes. We must always be on guard against surprise attacks from other ninja villages."

The Uchiha clan is in charge of the Konoha Police Department, which is the village's last line of defense. The Uchiha clan should not be sent to the front lines unless absolutely necessary.

The elder of Kirigakure, Genji, has been plotting something. The sporadic appearance of Kirigakure ninja in the Land of Whirlpools is a cause for concern.

If Kirigakure declares war, then the Konoha Police Force, as the last remaining force, will also go to the battlefield. Don't be hasty.

Faced with the Third Hokage's explanation, Uchiha Zhong couldn't say much more.

He glanced enviously at Senju Hanamori; the Senju clan had far more room to maneuver than the Uchiha clan.

During the First Shinobi World War, the village sent the Uchiha clan to fight against the Kirigakure ninja.

While others played to their strengths and avoided their weaknesses, the village's higher-ups repeatedly instructed the Uchiha to play to their weaknesses and avoid their strengths.

The Uchiha clan excelled in Fire Release, but were countered by the Water Release of the Mist Ninja, making the First Shinobi World War a very difficult one, resulting in many deaths.

Seeing that no one else was about to speak, Hatake Sakumo stood up:

"Lord Hokage, please believe that Konoha will surely win the war against the Land of Rivers!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression softened considerably; Sakumo Hatake's strength was trustworthy.

Konoha is full of talented people and has many geniuses, among whom Sakumo Hatake is an extremely dazzling genius.

Sakumo Hatake continued:

"Lord Hokage, I think Princess Tsunade's suggestion is worth considering."

The puppeteers of Sunagakure are highly skilled in using poison. The adequacy of the frontline medical system and the timely availability of antidotes will determine the casualty rate at the front.

Every Konoha ninja is our comrade and partner.

Princess Tsunade can bring experienced Senju medical ninjas to the front lines to safeguard our advantage.
