Chapter 27: Toka: Mom Loves Me the Most!
"Don't cry, don't cry!"
"Tsunade, be good."
"..."
Mito Uzumaki wiped the tears from Tsunade's face, patiently coaxing her, gradually calming her down.
However, Toka Senju, standing aside, was as if struck by lightning, motionless, still in shock.
His second uncle was dead?
Impossible!
Second Uncle had the Flying Thunder God Technique, his body full of powerful forbidden techniques. If he wanted to leave, who in the ninja world could stop him?
But reality was right in front of him. No matter how much he didn't want to believe it, he had to accept it.
Tears welled up in Toka Senju's eyes, and he recalled the moments he spent with Tobirama Senju. Since his father Hashirama Senju died, Tobirama Senju had taken on the role of a father, teaching him like his own son.
"Toka, now is not the time to be sad."
"I know."
Toka Senju wiped his tears, took a deep breath, and went to another room with Mito Uzumaki.
Toka Senju was a little nervous, looking forward to Mito Uzumaki's news.
Being called back from the front line so urgently must be related to the Third Hokage of Konoha.
Toka Senju was ready to take over as the Third Hokage.
"According to Tobirama's last wish, the candidate for the Third Hokage is Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"What?"
Toka Senju couldn't believe his ears. Hiruzen Sarutobi?
Who the hell was he?
Did his Sarutobi family have the qualifications to covet the Hokage position of Konoha?
If Tobirama passed the position to Kagami Uchiha, Toka Senju would have to accept it.
Wait, Hiruzen Sarutobi was Second Uncle's guard, Second Uncle was dead, how could he come back?
Conspiracy!
This was a conspiracy!!
"This is impossible!!"
Toka Senju broke down instantly, not believing Mito Uzumaki's words, asking repeatedly several times before finally believing Mito Uzumaki.
"Mother, you called me back so urgently, wouldn't you want me to help Hiruzen Sarutobi take the position?"
Toka Senju's face was cold, unable to understand Second Uncle's decision. No matter how the Hokage position was passed on, it wouldn't be the turn of a small family like Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Even if the Senju clan reluctantly accepted it, the Uchiha would not agree.
Something was going to go wrong!
Mito Uzumaki sighed. She was from a wealthy ninja clan and had read a lot of history books. She knew the dirty tricks within wealthy families.
They could fight to the death for the position of clan leader, let alone the shadow of Konoha.
If she supported Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Her own son might turn against her immediately.
Toka Senju's identity was the young clan leader of the Senju clan, and now he had automatically been promoted to clan leader. As long as he gave a call, the Senju clan could immediately put her under house arrest.
Could she really fight her own son?
For Hiruzen Sarutobi?
Don't even dream about it!
"How is that possible, I naturally support you."
Mito Uzumaki immediately stated her position, giving Toka Senju a reassurance, and his face looked much better.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi is just a small character, your real competitor is the Uchiha."
Toka Senju nodded, he didn't take Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously either.
As long as he wanted, with the Senju family's power, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have five shurikens in his back today and be judged as suicide.
The Uchiha were the real threat!
"Now the Uchiha has a strong man who may be comparable to Madara Uchiha in the future. He has activated the Mangekyo Sharingan."
As soon as Madara Uchiha was mentioned, the image of Madara Uchiha riding Susanoo on the battlefield instantly appeared in Toka Senju's mind.
In this ninja world, no ninja could be worthy of being Madara Uchiha's opponent, except his father Hashirama Senju.
Now that such a person had appeared in the Uchiha, he was far inferior to his father Hashirama Senju.
There was no doubt that the Uchiha had set their sights on the throne of the Third Hokage.
Toka Senju's mood became anxious again. He hated that he didn't inherit his father's Sage Body, Wood Style, and the instant Sage Mode.
Compared with his father Hashirama Senju, he was just an ordinary person.
Compared with ordinary ninjas, he only had a little more ninjutsu talent, a little chakra, and a little recovery ability...
He had no competitiveness at all!
"Don't underestimate yourself. It's just a little potential. A character like Madara Uchiha won't appear so easily."
"Just a reminder, don't forget who the real opponent is."
Mito Uzumaki saw that Toka Senju's confidence was frustrated and said slowly.
In the Uchiha's thousand-year family history, geniuses who could activate the Mangekyo Sharingan would appear every few generations. Correspondingly, geniuses who could match the Uchiha would also appear in the Senju clan, as if it had become a convention.
Madara Uchiha was special. The Uchiha who activated the Mangekyo Sharingan in the past were far less powerful than Madara Uchiha, and the Susanoo residing in their eyes rarely appeared.
The reason why Mito Uzumaki thought so highly of Uchiha Nan was just because Uchiha Nan had shown the power of Susanoo, but it was not invincible.
Mito Uzumaki remembered Tobirama Senju's research. Madara Uchiha was able to become an exception, his strength far surpassing the Uchiha who activated the Mangekyo Sharingan in history, which had long ignited Tobirama Senju's scientific research fire.
According to Tobirama's speculation, the Uchiha's activation of the Mangekyo Sharingan had a defect. If it was used continuously, it would eventually lead to blindness due to pupil power overdraft.
To make up for this defect, they had to replace it with a Mangekyo Sharingan with kinship. Madara Uchiha replaced his brother Izuna Uchiha's eyes, and his strength changed qualitatively.
Although it was just speculation, Tobirama said so, it must not be groundless. Maybe Madara Uchiha's tomb had been dug up by Tobirama Senju, and the corpse was also on Tobirama's experimental table.
Uchiha Nan's parents died early, and he had no brothers or sisters. The possibility of replacing a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan was slim.
"Toka, don't you think Hiruzen Sarutobi is very useful at this time?"
"Since Tobirama values him, why not push him out first. Without us doing anything, the Uchiha will not let him go, just to weigh the strength of that Uchiha and get more information."
Good idea!
Toka Senju's eyes lit up. The power of information in the ninja war was self-evident. There were too many strange ninjutsu in the ninja world, and many jonin had overturned due to lack of information.
"Then listen to mother."
Toka Senju showed a sly smile on his face. Mother was still resourceful and considerate of himself.
Mom really loved me the most!
Mito Uzumaki nodded with relief when she saw that her son agreed with her opinion.
Hiruzen, don't blame me.
At least on the issue of dealing with the Uchiha, the Senju clan and I support you. If you can solve the Uchiha, then the Senju will not be your obstacle.
As for Mito Uzumaki's promise to Hiruzen Sarutobi to help him solve the Uchiha, it had been selectively forgotten by Mito Uzumaki.
This was a different time. At that time, the Uchiha did not have a ninja who activated the Mangekyo Sharingan.
