By the time the members of the Police Force arrived at the scene, those involved had already been completely subdued and lost all ability to resist.
To brazenly attack a member of the Senju Clan, even if one belonged to the Uchiha, would inevitably attract harsh criticism.
The village's continued operation relied on everyone upholding the laws laid out on the surface. These visible rules were the fragile threads holding Konoha's stability together.
Thus, the dignity and authority of the Police Force had to be preserved to the utmost degree.
However, when the perpetrator were hailed as the future of their clan, those present found themselves unsure of how to respond.
Nawaki had struck with a heavy hand this time. The clansmen he subdued were tightly bound by wooden branches, their bodies marked by multiple fractures. These were not mere bruises or scrapes. Their flesh had been torn open, and their anguished cries echoed through the air, twisting the hearts of those who watched.
The captain of the squad was filled with rage. Yet, despite his fury, he could not bring himself to raise a hand against someone who was considered the hope of the clan.
After struggling with himself for a long time, the man finally forced out a few words through clenched teeth.
"Thank you, Nawaki, for assisting the Police Force in apprehending these criminals."
"You there, take them back to the interrogation room."
"Captain?!" one of the subordinates exclaimed in disbelief.
"Do it. Now!"
"Yes, sir."
Letting out a long and weary sigh, the man raised his head, intending to say a few words to the boy before him. He meant to offer at least a few words of formal courtesy. However, what greeted him was a pair of eyes filled with unmistakable disappointment.
In that instant, the squad captain was overwhelmed with anger.
I threw away my pride, abandoned the support of my team, all to please this so-called heir. And yet, what I received in return was scorn in his eyes.
If I weren't worried about injuring you, I swear I'd shove a kunai down your throat right this moment.
With that bitter thought, the angry members of the Police Force turned and left. As they departed, one of them cast a deep glance at the expressionless Nawaki.
"A word of advice," he said coldly. "Do not bring ruin upon yourself."
To that, Nawaki paid no mind, treating the man's warning as nothing but nonsense carried by the wind.
Give him face? He needed none of that.
If they had handled this incident impartially, perhaps the broken fragments of his heart might have found some comfort.
But instead, just because of who he was, his clansmen chose to let things slide.
Utterly disgraceful!
For the past two years, he had been following Uchiha Kochou, learning through her words and actions. At the same time, he had occasionally cooperated with Yayoi in various experiments.
On the surface, these two women seemed to be helping him grow stronger. But in truth, they were subtly reshaping his thoughts, carefully and consistently eroding the ideals he once clung to.
And with the Senju Clan's increasingly questionable behavior, Nawaki's heart had long grown cold toward his kin.
If two years ago he still held onto a sliver of hope, imagining he could reform his clan from within, then two years later, only one thought remained in his mind.
He could never allow the Senju to destroy the peace of Konoha.
For the sake of protecting the village, he was prepared to bear any burden.
Even if it meant pushing his own people, the rebels, into an abyss from which they could never return.
Yes, the Senju had long reached their breaking point after enduring the Hokage faction and the relentless suppression from the ANBU. Especially in the past six months, the voices demanding a decisive battle with the Uchiha had grown louder and louder.
If it weren't for Tobirama's firm grip on power, the clan's fanatical warmongers might have already erupted into open conflict. freёnovelkiss.com
Tobirama did not act out of a belief in the greater good. He simply understood that the chances of the Senju succeeding in a rebellion were exceedingly slim.
If anything was to be done, it would have to wait until his elder brother's grandson had fully matured.
Then, wielding his unparalleled intellect and strategic brilliance, he might achieve something extraordinary, even while walking through fire.
Naturally, Uchiha Kochou saw through these thoughts with ease.
And so, on a quiet afternoon, Tobirama came across Nawaki during his personal training.
What he witnessed left him in awe. A Wooden Dragon roared as it soared into the sky, while a Wooden Golem erupted from the earth with unstoppable force. In that moment, it felt as if he had been taken back to the days when that legend once strode across the battlefield.
Upon inquiring further, he learned that Nawaki had been training in secret for two and a half years. His strength had grown to a level far beyond what it once was. The branches he summoned now carried the might of true shinobi, and more importantly, he had developed a mental fortitude that even many adult ninjas lacked.
During these two and a half years, Nawaki ate simple pancakes every day and trained alone, silently enduring hardship and immersing himself in the satisfaction that came with growing stronger.
Unknowingly, he had already reached the height Tobirama had hoped for. Nawaki had become someone who could one day lead the Senju to glory.
Tobirama said nothing on the surface. But once he returned to the clan, he immediately summoned his most trusted followers to begin preparing for a power seizure from the Hokage.
To seize power meant clashing with the Uchiha. The confrontation would not be on ordinary levels alone; what truly mattered was the comparison of high-level strength.
On the Uchiha's side, their strongest individual was currently Uchiha Haruto. Following closely behind were Uchiha Kochou, Uchiha Izuna, and Uchiha Nagisa.
As for the Senju, Tobirama had no doubts about his own strength. With his ever-deepening mastery of Edo Tensei, he believed he could face both Kochou and Izuna at the same time.
The current Hokage could be entrusted to Sanfang, while Uchiha Nagisa would fall under Nawaki's responsibility.
With careful planning and the advantage of surprise, it might even be possible to eliminate a portion of the enemy forces before the battle had truly begun.
Tobirama had been preparing for this day for many years. Every step had been calculated.
Besides, it was not only the Senju who were dissatisfied with the current regime.
The Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, and even the Ino, Nara, and Akimichi families had all grown weary of the Uchiha's dominance.
If these clans could be persuaded to join the cause, the balance of power in Konoha would shift beyond repair. No single faction would possess the strength to oppose such a coalition.
Taking their past relationships into account, especially the bonds between teacher and student, Tobirama acted swiftly and in secret. He summoned Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō to a hidden meeting, fully aware that the success of his plan depended on securing their support.
Among the two, it was Hiruzen who puzzled Tobirama the most. His strength had grown so much over the years that even Tobirama, once his master, could no longer see through his full capabilities.
Hiruzen had achieved mastery over all five chakra natures and wielded each elemental jutsu with such ease and grace that he seemed to transcend the normal limits of a shinobi. It was no exaggeration to think that his talent for ninjutsu might have even surpassed Tobirama's own.
This realization brought Tobirama a rare sense of satisfaction. At the very least, he thought, this one was far more dependable than that Uchiha traitor.
With that in mind, Tobirama briefly laid out his plan, stating his intentions with clarity and conviction. As he spoke, he quietly observed the two men's reactions.
Danzō, as expected, was immediately and openly supportive. His hunger for power had always been intense, and the ambition burning in his eyes was unmistakable. The idea of dismantling the Hokage faction and seizing control clearly appealed to him.
Without a doubt, when the time came, Danzō would stand firmly on the side of the Senju.
Hiruzen, however, was more difficult to read. Tobirama suddenly realized that it was not just Hiruzen's strength that had become hard to gauge. He could no longer clearly understand what the younger man was thinking either..
After a long silence, Hiruzen finally smiled. "Rest assured, Sensei. Your disciple will stand with you. We will face whatever comes together."
"Excellent." Tobirama was visibly pleased by the response. A trace of joy appeared on his face as he replied, "With the strength of your two clans beside us, the future is bright, and great things can be achieved."
These were families that had long suffered under Uchiha oppression. Tobirama had no reason to doubt their resolve.
If the Senju were to fall, the others would only face even harsher fates.
IIf they wished to avoid being branded as traitors and cast into obscurity, then they had only one path left. They had to fight back with everything they had.
"On the tenth of next month," Tobirama declared with solemn determination, "we will gather our full strength and bring an end to Uchiha rule."
"Remember this well. We are not doing this for ourselves. We are fighting for the people of the entire world."
"Yes!!!" came the resounding response from all sides.
From beginning to end, Nawaki sat quietly to the side, listening without a word.
Even as the three clans united their intentions and fixed the date of the rebellion, not the slightest flicker crossed his face.
Such calm and composure were not easily gained. It was a reflection of the discipline and hardship he had endured over the past two and a half years as a member of the ANBU.
"For the people?" Nawaki murmured softly to himself.
"No... all of you are only doing this for yourselves."
