Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The two of them were in a state of panic, and the two of them were in a state of panic.

In the clan land of the Senju clan, the meeting hall.

Uzumaki Takeo, with Uzumaki Shinsuke and Uzumaki Yukina, is visiting the wife of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito.

"Sister, our Uzumaki clan is suffering!............" Uzumaki Shinsuke started complaining mode as soon as he came up, telling his own difficulties bit by bit, hoping that Uzumaki Mito, the sister who is connected by blood, can help with this matter.

Uzumaki Mito listened to Uzumaki Shinsuke's complaints quietly, and her heart was full of understanding and sympathy.

"Okay, put away that set." Uzumaki Mito's vicissitudes but soft voice stopped Uzumaki Shinsuke.

.

She knew that as the successor of the Uzumaki clan, Shinsuke shouldered huge responsibilities and pressures, both for the family and for the entire Konoha village.

However, this practice of directly using Konoha's interests to protect the Uzumaki clan also made her very embarrassed.

"Shinsuke, I understand your difficulties." Mito said gently, "But as a clan leader, you must have your own responsibilities. In the face of various difficulties and challenges, you can't just think about relying on external forces. The most important thing is to rely on yourself. Konoha does have a certain friendship with the Uzumaki clan, but as time goes by, the friendship will always be exhausted."

Her words revealed a deep wisdom and calmness.

When she was young, she married the then patriarch of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju, and accompanied Hashirama Senju in battle and accompanied Hashirama to fulfill his dream.

It can be said that she watched how Hashirama built Konoha, experienced the death of Hashirama, the death of Tobirama, and the death of his son.

She saw Konoha handed over from Hashirama to Tobirama, saw Konoha besieged, and Tobirama fell.

At that time, she couldn't help thinking that if someone broke into the village one day, she would release the Nine-Tails and die with the enemy.

She witnessed the heyday of Konoha, and she also witnessed the period when Konoha was besieged and in turmoil.

She grew up in the Uzumaki clan in her youth, and in the Senju clan and Hashirama in her youth.

She silently supported her husband to build the village in her middle age, and protected Konoha in the village in her old age.

Now on one side are the clan members of the same bloodline, and on the other side is the village that Hashirama is trying his best to protect.

Konoha also has her granddaughter Tsunade and grandson Nawase on the other side, and she needs to consider both of them.

"Even if I helped you this time, Sarutobi agreed to your so-called conditions for the sake of face. But can you guarantee that the next generation of Hokage will implement these without compromise? What about the next generation?" The words revealed a little bit of fatigue and hatred for not fighting.

Uzumaki Takeo glanced at Uzumaki Shinsuke, then said to Uzumaki Mito: "Mister Mito, the Uzumaki clan has reached the most difficult time. We are doing this for our clan members so that they can survive in this world. Future matters can only be left to the next generation."

At this point, Uzumaki Takeo looked at Uzumaki Shinsuke again, but Uzumaki Shinsuke seemed not to see it. Uzumaki Takeo had to bite the bullet and continue, "I believe Konoha will need our sealing technique. This time I brought Kushina with me."

"Stupid, you disappoint me so much. Do the Uzumaki clan have to rely on selling out their clan members to Konoha as Jinchūriki to survive in the future? What do you think of your clan members?" Uzumaki Mito was a little angry, and his voice naturally carried a strong sense of oppression.

Facing Uzumaki Mito's questioning, Uzumaki Shinsuke had to take over the conversation and said, "Sister! What do you mean by betraying the clan? The family cultivates the clan members, and the clan members pay for the family. This has been the truth since ancient times. In my opinion, it is not a loss to exchange the interests of a few people for the interests of the whole clan." Uzumaki Shinsuke's voice revealed firmness and confidence. Although he was old, he had a sense of responsibility and mission for the family in his heart. He understood that the survival and development of the clan members was the primary task of the family, and Konoha Village, as the center of the ninja world, had the ability to provide the Uzumaki clan with the resources and protection they needed. "Sister, we are not betraying the clan members, but striving for a better future for the clan members. Konoha needs our sealing technique, which is our unique skill and our innate advantage. Through cooperation with Konoha, we can get more resources and support to allow the clan members to survive in this turbulent era." Uzumaki Shinsuke's words were full of firm determination. Listening to Uzumaki Shinsuke's explanation, Uzumaki Mito felt a little lonely and powerless. This was how he was betrayed by the family.

Abandoned the marriage with the Senju clan, right?

Hashirama must have seen through the limitations of the one-family-one-surname system, so he thought of establishing the ninja village system, right? Sure enough, the ninja clan is not suitable for the current ninja world.

"It seems that Hashirama did the right thing." Uzumaki Mito muttered to himself, then looked at Uzumaki Shinsuke and Uzumaki Takeo and said.

"But do you think you can control Konoha like this? Do you think Sarutobi is a good-tempered guy? In the ninja world, only those with strength can reason and negotiate conditions. Without strength, you can't protect your interests."

"Konoha is easy to talk to now, that's because they still care about the friendship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan. When the Uzumaki clan was besieged, Konoha did its best to rescue the Uzushio Village, and even went to war with the other three hidden villages."

"But now you are using sealing techniques and Jinchūriki to control Konoha. Do you think that Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure can grab the Uzushio Village, but Konoha can't?"

"Now that I am still old, Konoha may still remember a little bit of affection, and wait I'm gone. If you still want to control Konoha, you'd better be prepared to be exterminated. "

"I can't hold on for much longer. Konoha may not be able to look down on the combat power of a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Besides, Konoha has also made its own innovative research on sealing techniques. Don't hold on to the fantasy of controlling Konoha forever."

"Think about it yourself. The future of the Uzumaki clan depends on you. I can help you, but I can't guarantee how much help I can have. Think about it slowly. I'll go to the Hokage Building to ask the Hokage for his opinion." Uzumaki Mito took a staggering step and was about to leave. Uzumaki Yukina hurried forward to support him, and Uzumaki Mito did not refuse.

When he reached the door, he could not help but turn back and remind them: "It is understandable that you want to ensure the independence of the Uzumaki clan. I advise you that this is the era of the ninja village, and the era of the ninja clan has passed. If you want to join Konoha, just do it. Put all your chips on the table and let Konoha choose, instead of holding your own chips to negotiate with Konoha."

"Time is running out. There are not many opportunities to negotiate with Konoha on an equal footing in the ninja world. When I pass away, or a new generation of Hokage takes office, they may not necessarily accept a foreign ninja clan to integrate into the village."
