Chapter 148
Chapter 148
On the day when Princess Mito returned to the Land of Whirlpools, many people came to see her off.
In addition to the Uchiha and Senju clansmen, other ninjas and ordinary villagers from Konoha also came in droves. The students in the Ninja School who had been taught by her also gathered together. They gathered into a bustling crowd and stood at the entrance of the village reluctantly to bid farewell to her.
Everyone was reluctant to part with Princess Mito, who had helped Konoha a lot, especially the exquisite seal scroll drawn by her. Many people were eagerly looking forward to Princess Mito coming to Konoha again after she returned, and it would be best if she could marry directly to Konoha, but this time, Mito would really not come back.
After all, the Land of Whirlpools was her hometown where she was born and grew up, soaked with countless memories.
Hashirama stood happily at the entrance of the village, grinning and waving his arms vigorously, saying goodbye to Princess Mito who was about to leave. He didn't seem to have any sad feelings of parting, but Tobirama standing next to him was extremely sad.
Watching the figure of Princess Mito walking away, Tobirama felt very regretful. If she could really become Hashirama's wife, the two would definitely be a perfect match.
However, his thoughts have changed a lot in the past few years. It's better not to force things like feelings. Since Hashirama and Mito don't have that intention, who can force them?
At this time, Shenyue and Madara also stood quietly at the entrance of the village, watching the departure of Princess Mito with everyone else.
Madara's expression was as indifferent as ever. He waved his hand casually, as if he was just dispelling a breeze, and it was considered to be a farewell to Mito, but Shenyue was reluctant to leave Mito. Looking at the figure of Princess Mito leaving, her eyes were filled with crystal tears.
Mito turned around and looked at this group of familiar Konoha people, and her heart suddenly surged with countless sadness-
After this departure, I don't know when I will see you again.
Before getting on the carriage, Princess Mito turned around and bowed deeply to the people gathered here.
"May the friendship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha last forever!"
....
On the night she returned to the Land of Whirlpools, Princess Mito launched a coup with thunder.
The seizure of power in the ninja world was unexpectedly simple and brutal. Following the universal truth that whoever has the bigger fist has the final say, she first used the sealing technique to firmly block everyone's chakra, and then used her amazing strange power to beat the red-haired people so hard that they screamed and had no power to fight back.
“喂,老不死的,你就这么急着把老娘嫁出去啊?!”
“啊,水户,你、你想干嘛,我可是你爹!啊,等等,哎呦,别打了!”
“公主,别打族长了!啊呀、别打脸啊、要破相了,救命啊!”
“从今天起,涡之国和漩涡一族都是我的了!老娘可是最强的,敢不听话就揍死你们!”
彻底发飙的水户姬显得是这样的相貌凶恶、威猛异常,满头的红发如同火焰般热烈燃烧,在空中肆意飘扬,那些被她封了查克拉又被揍得鼻青脸肿的红毛漩涡们,就只能趴在地上痛苦无助的呻吟,看着母猩猩一样的水户,他们怕得嗓子一哽,眼泪都掉出来了。
Under the violent iron fist of Mito-hime, the red-haired people suffered unprecedented heavy blows. If it weren't for the tenacious vitality of the Uzumaki clan's ancestors, they would have been beaten to death by her. At this time, everyone finally remembered how terrifying and violent Mito-hime was!
In this situation, who dared to say no?
Uzumaki Ashina was beaten to doubt his life. In order to teach him to respect the strong, Mito not only beat him hard, but also mercilessly pulled out his hair, beard and eyebrows. Now he is bald and looks like the bald donkeys in the Fire Temple.
Under such heavy humiliation and blow, the old man completely lost his former prestige and became a closed-door. His prestige and status collapsed overnight, and the hair on his head was gone, and the entire Uzumaki Kingdom also became Mito-hime's possession.
After receiving the letter from Mitohime, Shenyue, who learned all the things, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air-
What a straightforward power grab, what a kind father and filial daughter!
In this way, Mitohime successfully defeated all those who opposed her with a thunderous force, and as the opposition forces dissipated, she officially began to take over the Uzumaki clan and the country of whirlpools, and Shenyue's princess mansion also began to prepare.
For this reason, the Uchiha clan also began to select candidates who would go to the country of whirlpools in the future, but they were all very unwilling. At the same time, Konoha also left many Uzumaki clan members who did not want to go back.
It can be foreseen that after Mitohime completely takes power, she and ShenyueIt will be publicized so that the whole ninja world knows that the Whirlpool Country has become the fief of Uchiha Shenyue.
However, since it is the first time for everyone to do this, they really don’t know what to do specifically. Shenyue can only set up a resident and draft officials, but her progress is already fast. In comparison, the shogunate of Madara and Hashirama is only in the initial preparation stage.
Shenyue is still very concerned about the fiefdom under her name, especially since the Whirlpool Country is located on the sea. If this land can be well developed and utilized, it will surely bring rich returns.
The sea salt produced in the Whirlpool Country is of high quality. Since ancient times, salt has been a highly profitable industry, and the seafood resources are also rich and diverse. From delicious fish to unique shellfish, all of them are delicious delicacies on the table.
In addition, as a major route for shipping, the benefits of shipping in the Whirlpool Country cannot be ignored. If port construction can be strengthened and shipping capacity can be improved, it will surely attract more merchant ships to travel here.
Unfortunately, although the Uzumaki clan has lived on the sea for generations, their shipbuilding technology is not well developed due to their long-term seclusion. However, such a professional thing as shipbuilding has successfully touched Shen Yue's blind spot in thinking. In this regard, she really doesn't understand it at all.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yue gradually came up with an idea in her mind. She decided to follow the example of Hashirama and push all the troubles to the omnipotent Senju Tobirama.
.....
Although stepping into the Hokage Building is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, Shen Yue still plucked up the courage to run into Tobirama's office.
As one of the core senior executives, she certainly knows that the factory in Songshan Town that is about to start production is for the purpose of manufacturing scientific ninja tools that sound very high-end.
When she first heard these words, Shen Yue was confused for a long time. Why did she seem to have heard of this thing? Later, she thought about it for a long time, and then she remembered that this is not the product of "Bibo Ran"?
Being able to bring the advanced technology of Boruto to this era decades in advance, it must be said that Senju Tobirama is really a super genius. As the saying goes, everyone has his own expertise. It is better to leave all the inventions to him!
Tobirama was not vague and immediately stuffed a pile of documents to be processed to Shenyue, but at the same time agreed to her request.
"Give me some time, the ship will be built for you, you should approve all these documents first."
Looking at the pile of documents in her hand, Shenyue had a sad face, but there was nothing she could do. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she had to turn around and leave, preparing to find a quiet corner to deal with them all.
But at the moment when Shenyue turned and left, Tobirama's pen suddenly stopped. Looking at Shenyue's back gradually moving away, a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
Those past fragments surged into his mind like a tide. He recalled that he had once regarded her as an enemy, targeted her, hated her, rejected and made things difficult for her. He also remembered the changes that Shen Yue had caused over the years. Her appearance was like a fresh breeze that blew away the bloodiness and staleness of the ninja world.
"Shen Yue, I..."
Tobirama's heart was suddenly deeply touched. He realized that he should apologize to her. He should not make the same mistake that happened to Long Shu again.
Hearing Tobirama calling her, Shen Yue turned around and stared at him curiously:
"Huh? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
"I think... I should apologize to you."
After hearing Tobirama's apology, Shen Yue widened her eyes in surprise. She looked Tobirama up and down, her eyes full of fear and confusion. She could neither believe her ears nor Tobirama in front of her. After a moment, she pursed her lips in disgust.
"Then you'd better apologize to the master first!"
The relationship between Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama is no longer just about disliking each other. What exists between them is a deep hatred that is almost impossible to resolve.
Although Madara beat Tobirama to death many times and blew up Tobirama's laboratory, the extremely biased Kamatsuki still thinks that all this is Tobirama's own fault.
Seeing Kamatsuki's indignation for Uchiha Madara, Tobirama couldn't help but sigh. The figure of Uchiha Izuna inexplicably emerged in his mind. Although these two people have never met, some of them are really similar to the point of being exactly the same.
"...Are you really not Uchiha Izuna's illegitimate daughter?"
"Huh? If my father hears what you said, he will definitely fight you to the death!"
Even now, Tobirama still thinks Kamatsuki is like Izuna.
Maybe, she is the reincarnation of Uchiha Izuna, or maybe, that persistent and extreme soul placed all his obsession on her.
Even if he went to that world, he would not feel at ease.He wanted to save his only living brother. Even if he died, he must crawl back from the Pure Land and continue to stay by his brother's side in another way. Well, this was consistent with his understanding of that guy.
Looking back at the past battles with Izuna, and then looking at the little enemy who was constantly entangled with him, Tobirama couldn't help but feel a complex helplessness in his heart. He rarely tried to put down his prejudices and defenses in his heart, and began to imagine another possibility between himself and Uchiha Izuna——
If it was in this era, he and Izuna might become good friends, right?
This idea aroused endless ripples in Tobirama's heart, and his thoughts began to drift away. Those familiar figures appeared in his mind one by one. He couldn't help but imagine what those people he loved and fought against would look like in the peaceful years——
If it was in this era, then Banjian, Wajian and the tribesmen who died in the battle would not be dead, right? The elders in the clan would not be driven crazy by the endless war, and their father and mother would live well with them, and Long Shu would not be driven away by the pressure of the clan...
Not only the Senju, not only the Uchiha, those who died on the battlefield must have lived very happily, right?
Senju Tobirama, who was completely trapped in his imagination, finally opened his eyes slowly and woke up completely. After a long silence, he raised his head and looked directly into Shenyue's clear and deep black eyes, which every Uchiha had, and opened his heart very rarely:
"I never regretted killing Uchiha Izuna on the battlefield."
Shenyue frowned in dissatisfaction, but was not in a hurry to interrupt him. He just watched quietly and did not speak, as if waiting for Tobirama to continue.
Tobirama did not explain much. Before Madara and Hashirama truly reconciled, the fight and hatred between the Uchiha and Senju clans were deep-rooted and difficult to resolve. This hatred could not be eliminated overnight, but had accumulated and settled over countless generations.
Even after they established Konoha together, the gap and prejudice between the two clans were not completely eliminated. He and many clan members still retained the ideas of that time and continued to be vigilant and suspicious of the Uchiha clan.
What's more, he and Izuna were such a life-and-death enemy. Facing such an enemy who wanted to put him to death, he decisively injured him. What was there to regret?
It can only be said that as a ninja in the Warring States period, he could only face such an ending.
"You who were not born in that era would not understand."
Tobirama's face suddenly became twisted and hideous, and in his red eyes, resentment was jumping like a flame. The expression on his face was complex and deep, it was an emotional mixture that Shen Yue had never seen before, sadness, resentment, regret, and deep remorse.
"The only thing I regret is that I didn't eliminate all those daimyo nobles earlier and let the ninjas take power!"
The ninjas clearly have powerful powers, but they are like puppets, easily used and controlled by those powerful nobles.
What's even more ridiculous is that the method of seizing power is so easy, as long as you use your brain a little, you can change the distorted situation and get everything back on track, but no ninja really thought about changing it all.
And he, Senju Tobirama, who has always been considered the smartest by those around him, is like a blind fool and has never thought of this!
If he could see through all this earlier and take that decisive step earlier, there would not be so many tragedies. This belated realization really made him deeply regretful and even heartbroken!
