Since Madara Uchiha rebelled and attacked the village, resulting in the death of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama from his injuries, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan has fallen into an abyss. No Uchiha clan member has ever visited the Senju clan land. .
Of course, even when Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were both there, the relationship between the two clans was not that good.
Especially after the second generation was attacked and killed, and Uchiha Mirror also died inexplicably in the subsequent war, the relationship between the Uchiha clan, the Hokage clan and the Senju clan was basically in a state of complete separation.
Therefore, when Uchiha Tokumitsu submitted a greeting card that night and quickly received a reply from the Senju clan, it also meant that the two ninja clans that had been separated took a step forward and began to try to normalize relations.
One small step for Uchiha Tokumitsu, one giant leap for the Uchiha clan.
On the whole, the Uchiha people still hold a happy attitude towards this. Even the most die-hard radical Uchiha will not be ignorant when the leader of the faction, Setsuna Elder, also has a positive attitude towards this. Some weird words without thinking.
The Uchiha clan has been lonely in the Hidden Leaf Village for a long time.
Although arrogant, excellent, powerful... although the Uchiha clan has many reasons to comfort themselves, the Uchiha clan still longs for companions in their hearts.
Outsiders have given the Uchiha clan the slanderous name of an "evil clan" with ulterior motives, but everyone in the Uchiha community disagrees with this. The Uchiha believe that they belong to the "loving clan".
In any case, the Uchiha people still have great expectations for Uchiha Tokumitsu's visit to the Senju clan to meet Uzumaki Mito.
This is especially true for the conservative Uchihas.
The next day, after careful preparation, I carried carefully selected gifts, the blessings and expectations of the Uchiha clan, and the nine children who were rescued and brought back from the Kingdom of Whirlpool by the Uchiha secret guards yesterday. As a whirlpool child, under the guard of the Uchiha secret guards, like a diplomatic envoy with a major mission, Uchiha Tokumitsu embarked on the road to the Senju clan.
The long-standing ninja clan giants, Senju Mori and Uchiha Uchiha, after experiencing hardships and twists and turns, once again showed signs of going in both directions.
Regarding the unexpected improvement in the relationship between the Senju and Uchiha ninja clans, especially the sudden exchange of visits, the Hokage Building and the major ninja clans showed great concern.
The reason why the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to successfully take over the position of Hokage was indispensable for the strong support of Mito Uzumaki, the grandmother of the Senju ancestors.
But when it came to rescuing their ally, the Uzumaki Country, Konoha F4's performance really chilled Uzumaki Mito, who had devoted all his energy to the village.
After all, the Uzumaki clan is her mother clan.
Therefore, under the influence of this emotion, it is normal for Uzumaki Mito to have a favorable impression of Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo, who are responsible for combat missions. However, Uchiha Tokimitsu, as a member of the Uchiha clan and a faction leader, has made a decisive move in one fell swoop. The Sakumo jounin of the Hatake clan, who was already in decline, attracted more attention.
Perhaps due to the illustrious military exploits of rescuing the Kingdom of Whirlpool, most of the ninjas and villagers encountered along the way took the initiative to give way to Uchiha Tokimitsu's team and salute them.
There was less fear in the past and more respect in his expression.
The Uchiha members of the Police Department who were on alert along the way were also proud of this, and their backs were straighter than usual.
The ANBU, who were obviously sent to inquire for information, could only stand in the trees and watch from a distance due to the obstruction of the Uchiha Police Force members.
The Konoha F4 in the Hokage's office just watched silently through the crystal ball as Uchiha Tokimitsu and his party marched towards the Senju clan. In the deathly silent office, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed away smoke. The thick haze was just like his mood at this time, heavy and uneasy.
But so what, as long as Uzumaki Mito is alive, she will always be the most transcendent and noble unique existence in Konoha. No one dares to block her every move for any reason.
At the entrance of the Thousand Hands Clan, there were already people from the Thousand Hands Clan waiting to greet them.
According to the etiquette of the ninja clan, after both sides greeted each other solemnly, Uchiha Tokko ordered his entourage to hand over the gifts prepared by the Uchiha clan, and then ordered the Uchiha secret guard ninjas to wait where they were, and then took the nine Uzumaki children with him. Surrounded by the respectful Thousand Hands clan members, I walked into the Thousand Hands clan land.
In the Hokage Building, the crystal ball screen on the office countertop also stopped abruptly at this moment.
The Senju clan's clan is different from the Uchiha clan's clan. They plant many kinds of precious flowers, plants and trees everywhere, and they don't build tall walls and gates like the Uchiha clan does. It makes it seem like a village within a village. On the contrary, the land of the Hand Clan is like a natural park full of flowers.
"As expected of the Senju of the Forest..."
Under the guidance of the Senju tribe, Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly walked towards Uzumaki Mito's mansion.
"The Thousand Hands clan has always liked to be close to nature, so they plant more trees and grass in the clan land and at home, which is also a way to cultivate their sentiments..."
The person in charge of greeting was an elderly Senju tribesman named Senju Hiroyuki. Although he was dressed in brocade, it could be seen from his actions that he was once a powerful ninja senior. However, when he walked, his feet were not light and heavy. 1. Or it may be caused by a disability in one of the legs leading to the installation of a prosthetic limb.
Regarding Senju Hiroyuki's explanation, Uchiha Tokumitsu also appeared to listen carefully.
Although the area of the Senju clan is larger than that of the Uchiha clan, and the garden scenery and architectural style are also unique, there are very few Senju clan members encountered along the way, and they are old and young. It can be seen that the strength of the Thousand Hands clan has declined.
"arrive."
In front of a magnificent mansion, Ashina Uzumaki was waiting for the arrival of the Uchiha clan and his entourage as a welcome guest.
Seeing the nine Uzumaki children in his entourage, Ashina Uzumaki could no longer control himself and burst into tears.
"Grandpa Patriarch!" The Uzumaki child also rushed forward, hugging Uzumaki Ashina and crying bitterly.
After experiencing the pain of family destruction and the destruction of the country, even though I could control my grief before, when facing familiar relatives, I can no longer help crying to express my inner pain.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt uncomfortable and had to lower his head to avoid exposing his already reddish eyes.
"Tokumitsu-kun, thank you for your assistance." Uzumaki Ashina sincerely saluted Uchiha Tokimitsu again.
Uchiha Tokumitsu sidestepped and said, "Chief Ashina, there is no need to be polite..."
"Mito-sama is waiting, please come with me." Wiping away the tears from his eyes, Uzumaki Ashina clasped his hands and saluted Uchiha Tokimitsu, and guided Uchiha Tokimitsu into Mito's mansion.
As the residence where Uzumaki Mito lives, it is naturally full of flowers and flowers, but Uchiha Tokko also saw the desertedness of the Senju clan outside, as well as the desolation and dilapidation behind it.
That is, as the saying goes, "unpopular."
"Tokuguang-kun, please come in."
Standing in front of a lobby door, Uzumaki Ashina bent down to welcome him.
In the hall, Uzumaki Mito was in the middle, smiling to welcome Uchiha Tokko's arrival. Tsunade sat on the left side of Uzumaki Mito to accompany her, and there was a red-haired little girl beside her, who was Uzumaki Kushina.
On both sides of the wall, there were more than a dozen old people sitting on the left and right. Some of them had red hair that Uchiha Tokumitsu was familiar with. They were the Uzumaki clan members rescued from the Kingdom of Uzumaki.
But on the second futon on the right side of Uzumaki Mito, there was a figure that Uchiha Tokumitsu had never expected.
Hatake Sakumo, who had a white bandage on his left shoulder, also smiled and greeted Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Mito-sama, junior Uchiha Tokumitsu has come to pay his respects."
Uchiha Tokumitsu stood outside the hall and saluted Uzumaki Mito inside the hall.
"Tokumitsu-kun, there is no need to be formal, please take a seat." Uzumaki Mito pointed to the first futon on the right with a smile.
Uchiha Tokumitsu bowed again, took off his shoes and took his seat inside.
"Tsunade-hime."
After taking his seat, Uchiha Tokumitsu bowed to Uzumaki Mito in the seat, and bowed slightly to Tsunade on the left.
As the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, Tsunade was born into a noble family and was a young leader of the faction higher than Uchiha Tokumitsu in terms of status. Since I am here as a ninja today, I cannot neglect the etiquette.
"Tokumitsu-kun is well."
Tsunade responded politely.
"Sakumo-kun, long time no see."
Uchiha Tokumitsu stretched out his hand to Hatake Sakumo next to him, with a bright smile on his face.
"It didn't take long, I just didn't see him for a day."
Hatake Sakumo also smiled from ear to ear and held Uchiha Tokko's hand heavily.
Friendship tempered by blood and fire is exceptionally pure.
"One day is like three autumns apart. It's been a long time since I've experienced the majesty of Sakuma-kun's white teeth."
Then with a serious look on his face, Uchiha Tokko slightly adjusted his clothes and bowed to Uzumaki Mito.
"Mito-sama, on behalf of the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shikō-sama, and on the entrustment of Elder Setsuna, the leader of the Tiger Faction, and the Uchiha clan members, I send my regards."
"Uchiha is interested."
Uzumaki Mito did not pretend to be pretentious, and nodded slightly in response, "Time flies so fast. The little brat Shifang back then is already the head of the clan. How is he doing...and Uchiha Setsuna, he Are you ok?"
"Since the leader of the Shifang clan came to the throne, he has done many virtuous things and benefited everyone. He has always been loved by the clan. Elder Setsuna is a little older, but his body is still strong. Thank you Mito-sama for your concern."
"More than thirty years." Uzumaki Mito also sighed, "Hashirama and Madara... established Konoha back then. Although differences in ideas led to things that no one wanted to see, the past is the past after all. …”
Uchiha Tokumitsu bowed again.
"Since Kagami-kun's untimely death, this is the first time I have met the hero of the Uchiha clan again. Tokumitsu-kun, you are very good."
Faced with Uzumaki Mito's praise, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to salute and thank him.
"The past must pass. The ninja clan must look forward so as not to be swallowed up by the great tide of the ninja world." Uzumaki Mito sighed slightly, "The Country of Uzumaki is a tragic example..."
"But the power of the ninja clan is always limited, that's why there is a village... What do you think, Tokimitsu-kun." Uzumaki Mito looked at Uchiha Tokko.
"Konoha is a ninja village that was born to pursue peace, and also to allow future generations to have a safe home to grow up without having to experience the bloodshed of the Warring States Period." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied solemnly, "This is also the case for Hashirama-sama. And Madara-sama’s long-cherished wish…”
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's words mentioned Uchiha Madara, who was labeled as a rebellious ninja by the village, Uzumaki Mito did not take it seriously. As an older generation of ninjas who came from the Warring States Period, she naturally knew Senju Hashirama and Uchiha The battle between Madara’s route and ideas.
"But Tokumitsu-kun doesn't seem to be very old either." Uzumaki Mito said with a smile.
"As the young prince of the Uchiha clan, I should naturally bear the responsibility as the heir." Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his head and said in a loud voice, "I have been carefully cultivated by Elder Setsuna and the family elite since I was a child. In return, it is natural for me to lead my tribe to fight for Konoha and my family."
"It seems that the Uchiha clan has indeed produced a great hero." Uzumaki Mito smiled at the elders seated on both sides, "What do you elders think?".
The elders also nodded in approval.
Among them, the elders from the Uzumaki clan politely bowed their hands to Uchiha Tokumitsu, and Uchiha Tokumitsu returned the favor one by one.
"Tsunade, as the eldest daughter of the direct line, you must also interact with the Uchiha clan in the future." Uzumaki Mito warned Tsunade.
"Although Tsunade is usually restless, she is very good at learning medical ninjutsu. As a ninja, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises. It is also good to ask Tsunade to check it out."
These words were said to Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo.
"Tsunade-hime's medical ninjutsu is indeed miraculous." Hatake Sakumo also responded respectfully.
His left shoulder was injured by Kirigakure Genshi's dying blow in the Country of Whirlpool. After returning to Konoha, Konoha Hospital failed to cure it, but this injury, which in the eyes of ordinary medical ninjas was extremely troublesome, was treated by Tsuna. Easily solved by hand.
The fundamental purpose of Uchiha Tokko's visit to meet Mito Uzumaki this time was to break the long-frozen ice between the two clans. Although the conversation ended up talking about the family's shortcomings, it was also these seemingly ordinary things. The words, witnessed by a group of Senju and Uzumaki elders, made it clear from now on that the two giant ninja clans, Senju Mori and Uchiha Uchiha, who loved each other and killed each other, broke the barriers between each other and began to normalize their relations.
This is a precious progress.
"But no matter what, I really need to thank Sakumo-kun and Tokumitsu-kun for the battle in the Whirlpool Kingdom."
Uzumaki Mito once again saluted Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo with a solemn expression.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo jumped up from the futon in a hurry, avoiding the elders' salutes, and kept saying that they did not dare to accept the salutes.
The elders on both sides also saluted and thanked Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo, and the two of them quickly returned the salute one by one.
After chatting for a long time, Uzumaki Mito was getting old after all, and he looked tired at this time. Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo also timely said goodbye.
Accompanied by Tsunade, Uchiha Tokko and his party left Uzumaki Mito's mansion.
When they formally parted, the content of today's meeting and the refreshing fragrance in Tsunade's hair made Uchiha Tokko feel relaxed and happy.
It's a nice weather today.
