Tatsuma didn't know how to answer Uzumaki Mito's question. After all, he was not even a member of the Senju clan, so how could he represent the Senju clan?
Some people mistake him for Senju, or even connect him with the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, but they are completely deceived by appearances.
Tatsuma's strange strength and huge amount of chakra do not come from his native talent, but are accumulated bit by bit by himself, and these are secrets that only he knows.
As for the appearance and demeanor similar to Senju Tobirama's childhood? The appearance is because handsome people always have similarities, because the aesthetics are the same, and it is very normal for Tatsuma, who thinks he is also a handsome guy, to be somewhat similar to Senju Tobirama.
Only ugly people can be ugly in all kinds of ways.
On the one hand, his temperament is because he is also a rational person, and on the other hand, it is his talents of [Divine Machine] and [Operations] that make him like to think more.
When thinking, he can't help but frown and purse his lips. This habit is shared by many people, but after combining various similarities, people believe that he is inseparable from Senju and even Senju Tobirama. It’s just a matter of relationship.
In addition, after moving into the house in Senju Tobirama, Uzumaki Mito helped take care of life, and all kinds of clothes and accessories with the Senju clan emblem, and even the etiquette cultivated by Uzumaki Mito intentionally or unintentionally, made This misunderstanding is getting deeper day by day.
Six years ago, no one would say that he was related to Senju Tobirama, because there were not many similarities between the two at that time. It was just that six years of development and training by others had made him imprinted with Senju Tobirama. Traces become increasingly clear.
Tatsuma never took the initiative to deepen other people's misunderstandings. The only time he did not directly deny it was because of Orochimaru's arrangement and in order to make the mission go smoothly.
Even for Tatsuma, he was a little lucky that he was already an orphan after traveling through time, so that he didn't have to bear the pressure of having more relatives.
After a brief thought, Tatsuma smiled and shook his head and said, "Grandma Mito, you are joking. I am not a member of the Senju of the Forest, so how can I represent the Senju?"
Hearing this, the expectation on Uzumaki Mito's face also dissipated, and turned to regret, but in the end she was unwilling. She pursed her lips and said:
"Tatsuma, I asked Hiruzen before and learned about your life experience. Your parents are from the surrounding small villages. When the village found you, your parents had already been killed.
You probably didn’t remember much at that time, and maybe your parents had a lot of things they didn’t tell you, such as the origins of your family? "
When Uzumaki Mito spoke, she was a little uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. In the past, she was always generous and upright, but now she was a little cautious. Seeing that Tatsuma did not feel disgusted or resistant, she continued:
"Konoha has been establishing the village for nearly forty years, and it is still impossible to find out the household registrations and ancestral places of all the villagers, let alone the more primitive small villages in the surrounding areas. Perhaps your true life experience, your parents will remember you After that, word of mouth spreads to you.
Unlike Uchiha and Hinata, the Senju clan does not have too many restrictions on where the clan members can go or stay. Therefore, the Senju of the Forest may spread throughout the Fire Country, or even to other countries further away, and it is not impossible for you to be the Senju of the Forest. "
At this point, Uzumaki Mito saw Tatsuma wanting to speak, she raised her hand first, stopped Tatsuma and then continued: "Besides, what if you really don't have Senju's blood on your body?
Tatsuma, do you know why the Senju clan is called the Senju of the Forest? "
Hearing Uzumaki Mito's question, Tatsuma's attention was really diverted. After all, his head was dizzy and he really didn't support multi-threaded thinking.
And Uzumaki Mito's question is also very interesting. Why is the Senju clan called the Senju of the Forest?
But Uzumaki Mito did not leave time for Tatsuma to think, but said to himself: "The Senju of the Forest and the true birth of the Senju clan are inseparable.
It's just that those histories are too long ago, and I can't know the real reason. I just asked my father before I met Hashirama.
My father's answer was that Senju's ancestors had lived in the forest for generations. Because each individual was stronger than ordinary people, it was difficult to integrate into the civilians who gathered in the surrounding villages. They were afraid of the powerful.
Later, some people began to worship the power, went to the forest to contact them, and even proposed to join them and become them. But because they were strangers, Senju's ancestors did not accept these people.
Some of these people left in disappointment, while others stayed behind. They began to struggle to survive in the forest, but the dangers in the forest made it difficult for them to survive, so they couldn't help but group together again.
"One pair of hands cannot resist the danger of the forest, so ten pairs of hands, a hundred pairs of hands, and a thousand pairs of hands can resist together." This is their philosophy. This spectacle of being individually weak but powerful because of unity moved the ancestors of Thousand Hands. them.
In turn, they joined these weak but united people, and this resulted in the original Thousand Hands clan. They were obviously two groups of people with huge differences, but they gradually became one family.
Later, due to the turmoil of wars in various places, more and more villages were destroyed, and more and more refugees fled into the forest. The Thousand Hands Clan, which had already developed at that time, did not refuse their participation.
They are not the Thousand Hands clan, nor do they have the blood of the Thousand Hands flowing on their bodies, but they have become part of the resistance to the forest and the evils of the world. The Thousand Hands in the forest have formed the Thousand Hands clan, and even started to use this as their surname.
Even if you don't have blood, you can become a member of the Thousand Hands, grow up, marry, marry, and have children among the Thousand Hands.
Gradually, there are no more real and original ancestors of the Senju. Their strong individual strength has also become less shining as they reproduce from generation to generation. However, their unity is far stronger than the original individual strength. Powerful and even more awesome.
Later, when I became a member of the Senju, and after the village was established, Hashirama believed that the Senju clan came from various places, so they should return to various places. The Senju are a clan that unites and protects each other, and they should not forget their original intention.
So Tobirama carried out Hashirama's wishes, dismissed the Senju clan, took back their surnames, and allowed the Senju to fully integrate into the village and become a pair of hands guarding the village.
Therefore, Tatsuma, no matter whether you are a member of the Senju clan or not, or whether you have the blood of the Senju clan flowing through your body, as long as you are willing to be a part of this united and protective team, then you can be a member of the Senju of the Forest. "
After listening to the "story" told by Uzumaki Mito, Tatsuma fell silent. He didn't know whether the story was true or false. The version established by the Senju and the origin of the Senju of the Forest must be more than one.
If faced with another person, it is not certain that Uzumaki Mito would say another set of words, but it was difficult for him to refuse at the moment, not because of how tempting the Senju in Uzumaki Mito's story was.
But Tatsuma couldn't stand an old man who looked at him with hesitant and sincere eyes. It's like you couldn't refuse the promise your grandma said with tears when she drove you to your parents' car, "Remember to come back and see you when you have time."
Tatsuma's breathing became harder unconsciously, suppressing the emotions driven by Uzumaki Mito's eyes, but he tried several times and failed.
Tatsuma raised his head, looked into Mito Uzumaki's eyes which were a little narrow due to his loose eyelids, and said, "Grandma Mito, if you don't mind, then you are my ancestor."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Mito's eyes were as bright as a newborn baby, and the corners of his old and slack mouth also raised. He took Tatsuma's hand, held Tatsuma's palm with one hand, and patted the back of Tatsuma's hand with the other, murmuring. : "Okay, okay, okay."
Then Uzumaki Mito said very solemnly: "Tatsuma, Senju will not let you down, and I will not let you suffer."
"Grandma Mito, you and the teacher have given me enough help."
Tatsuma shook his head, but Uzumaki Mito still said seriously: "No, Tsunade is your teacher, and I am also your relative. What I said is to let Senju be your helper.
Now Qian Shu doesn't have much strength left, but he can still work hard at critical moments. Also, after I leave, you have to wait until Qianju helps you before you can help Qianju, do you understand? "
Hearing what Uzumaki Mito said, Tatsuma nodded. He understood that the representative of Senju that Uzumaki Mito wanted him to be was not a reputational one like Tsunade, but a de facto representative.
Now Tatsuma doesn't need the help of Qianju, and Qianju can't give Tatsuma any help. He still has to wait until the future, at least until the new generation of Senju grows up, and that's when Tatsuma's real development will begin. Power period.
Seeing that Tatsuma did not shirk again, Uzumaki Mito also understood that this boy must have understood what she meant, so she let go of Tatsuma's hand and said: "In the future, you can do whatever you want.
Laoshen will take care of the rest for you, you just need to wait. "
"Yes, Grandma Mito."
After that, Uzumaki Mito talked a lot with Tatsuma about the Senju's past, the generational hatred between the Senju and the Uchiha, the origins of the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan, etc.
Uzumaki Mito even found the half forehead protector that Senju Tobirama had worn many years ago from his collection, and insisted on letting Tatsuma wear it for a look.
If it wasn't too loose, Uzumaki Mito even wanted to put "makeup" on Tatsuma's face. Uzumaki Mito even prepared the Komachi red for lip gloss, and ended up with a face filled with regret.
In the end, Mito Uzumaki "let go" Tatsuma, but it was not until midnight that Tsunade, with messy hair, smell of alcohol, and carrying her own gear in her hands, walked home furtively, interrupting the interaction between "grandfather and grandson" .
However, Uzumaki Mito was not angry, and even took the initiative to say that if it was too late, Tsunade could choose to spend the night outside.
The next day, he and Naoki finished their morning exercises early. After breakfast, Tatsuma went to the Hokage Building. He had quit his job at Konoha Hospital yesterday, and he didn't know where Orochimaru was, so going to the Hokage Building was the best option. s Choice.
Even if you can't meet Orochimaru, you can still get more experience in handling administrative affairs in the Hokage's office.
In the study room of Mito Uzumaki's house, sensing Tatsuma's departure, Mito Uzumaki found a bundle of large scrolls. After unrolling them, he started writing along the line where he left off.
She promised not to let Tatsuma suffer.
