Konoha Village, the residence of the Senju clan.

As the most powerful family in Konoha Village, the Senju clan’s residence is very low-key. At first glance, it looks like the place where ordinary villagers live, and it does not have the grandeur that a top-notch family should have.

In the most central area of ​​the garrison sits a quaint mansion. Although the mansion is not large, it is decorated quite elegantly. Every blade of grass and every tree clearly shows signs of having been carefully tended to. This is the residence of the clan leader, Hashirama Senju.

Although Tobirama is Hashirama’s only younger brother, the two do not live together. When they arrived at the gate, Tobirama did not go in directly, but knocked on the door very politely.

Crash——

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, revealing a graceful figure.

She was wearing an elegant white kimono and her red hair was simply tied into two buns. Because she was at home, she didn’t wear any extra accessories on her head, but it couldn’t hide her extraordinary beauty.

The moment he saw Tobirama, a trace of surprise flashed across Uzumaki Mito’s face, “Tobirama-chan? Why are you here? Are you here to see your elder brother? He is in the Hokage Building now.”

“Sister-in-law.” Tobirama nodded and greeted her, then looked at Mito and said, “I came here specifically to see you, sister-in-law.”

“Looking for me?” Mito blinked in confusion, but still moved aside to open the door and said slowly, “Come in and talk first.”

Tobirama nodded, walked into the house, and kept a proper distance from Mito. He came to the tatami in the living room and sat cross-legged. Mito closed the door, made two cups of tea and placed them on the table, then knelt down opposite Tobirama and spoke first:

“I heard from your eldest brother that you have been experimenting with new ninjutsu these past few months. Is it going well?”

“Ah, this S-level ninjutsu has exceeded my expectations. It will definitely come in handy in the future.”

When talking about his newly invented ninjutsu, Tobirama’s expression obviously eased a bit, but he obviously didn’t come here to talk about this, and he was thinking about how to start the conversation.

Mito also saw that Tobirama seemed to have something to say to her, so he took the initiative to ask, “What do you want to talk to me about this time, Tobirama?”

Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not good at dealing with women, especially his sister-in-law. If it wasn’t for the overall situation, he really was not used to being alone with Mito.

“Sister-in-law, I came here to ask you for a favor.” Tobirama said straight to the point, “Sister-in-law, I’m sure you’re aware of the recent actions of the Fire Nation. They have invaded many small countries and successfully expanded their territory, but I’m sure their purpose is not just this. One day, or soon, they will take action against the five major countries.”

“So we can’t just sit there and watch them grow beyond our control. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for us. We have to take action.”

Mito’s eyes flickered, and she understood Tobirama’s purpose in coming to her. She was a little amused and said patiently, “You want me to persuade Daizhu, but you know your brother’s character. He advocated the signing of the peace treaty. The agreement stipulated that the six major countries could not invade each other, so he would definitely not be the first person to break the agreement.”

“What’s more…” At this point, Mito’s expression became serious, “Once we take action against the Fire Nation, it will not only be unreasonable, but the other major countries will definitely stand by and watch, waiting to reap the benefits, which will drag Konoha Village into the flames of war. In this case, not only will the Great Pillar not agree, but I will not agree to help you persuade him.”

“But what if their next target is the Whirlpool Country?”

The air in the room suddenly stagnated, and Mito’s eyes flickered imperceptibly, “What did you say?”

“Ah…” Tobirama sighed and said slowly, “Although it’s just my guess, I am at least 90% sure that their next target will be the Uzumaki clan.”

Seeing that Mito didn’t speak, Tobirama continued, “Now, the Funato clan has occupied most of the countries on the sea. The Flame Country must be behind it. They will definitely not let go of the remaining Whirlpool Country, especially the Uzushiogakure Village with its deep heritage.”

“Uchiha Madara needs to guard the Hidden Flame Village so he won’t show up, but Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Enhong are very likely to participate in the attack on the Whirlpool Country. Although the Whirlpool Country has your father in charge, it will definitely not be able to stop two top masters.”

“Hu.” Mito took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes, but her inner unrest could be seen from her slightly trembling eyebrows.

Tobirama has made it very clear. If Konoha Village does not take action, the Hidden Uzushio Village will basically be destroyed. His father and brother will probably be in danger as well. It all depends on luck how many members of the entire Uzumaki clan can escape.

On one side is her own family, and on the other side is the hard work created by her husband. It is undoubtedly a torture to choose between the two.

And Tobirama did not urge him, but just waited quietly for Mito’s decision.

After an unknown amount of time, Mito finally opened her eyes. There was an obvious trace of fatigue and pain on her face, but her voice was as steady as ever. “Since I have married your eldest brother, I am a ninja of Konoha. I cannot drag the entire Konoha Village into war just because of my family.”

Tobirama’s eyes were dim, and after hearing Mito’s final choice, his face showed no extra expression, but if you looked closely, you could see that he seemed to relax a little, and then he said slowly:

“Sister-in-law, I do have a way to save the Uzumaki clan without involving Konoha Village.”

“Hmm?” Mito’s heart was moved. It was difficult for Mito to keep his inner peace again when it came to the survival of his family. “What’s the solution?”

“It’s very simple. The Flame Nation is not the only one that would exploit loopholes in the agreement. Their goal is not the Whirlpool Nation’s territory, but the resources on the territory. So, we just need to find a way to prevent them from getting the resources. If necessary, we can completely abandon the Whirlpool Nation’s territory.”

“What should be done specifically?”

Tobirama thought for a moment, then spoke out all his thoughts, while Mito just listened quietly.

“Although it is a trick, it is the only way at the moment. It will benefit both the Uzumaki clan and our Konoha Village. However… this method still requires big brother’s consent. If I am the only one persuading him, I am afraid that big brother will still not agree, so…”

Tobirama said this, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, looked directly into Mito’s eyes and said in a deep voice, “Sister-in-law, you don’t want to see your family perish like this, do you?”

“Alas…” Mito sighed softly. After all, they were his own family and he certainly couldn’t bear to watch them perish.

“I… will talk to Dazhu.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you, sister-in-law.” Tobirama smiled, “If it works, it will definitely be a huge surprise for the Kingdom of Fire.”
