What nonsense about expanding influence!?
Tobirama was once a cunning politician with a sharp mind. He could easily see through Hiruzen's thoughts.
It was clear as day for him.
Hiruzen should have felt threatened by the Senju clan's overwhelming power and influence, which endangered his rule over the village.
That was why he encouraged the Senju clan to intermarry with commoners, deliberately diluting their bloodline. If that continued, within just a few generations, the Senju clan would be nothing more than a mory.
Any talk of expanding the influence and power of the Senju clan was utter nonsense.
The ninja world revolved around bloodlines. If a family's bloodline was diluted to the point of impurity, then its decline was inevitable.
The Uchiha clan stood strong for generations because they upheld strict intermarriage policies within their own ranks, preventing their blood from being diluted. That was the key to maintaining the strength and purity of their lineage.
The Senju clan, though not as rigid as the Uchiha, could not withstand such continued dilution. Given enough ti, they would vanish entirely.
If only a small portion of the clan intermarried with commoners, it wouldn't have been an issue. But if the entire clan followed this practice, how was that any different from completely dissolving the Senju na?
[Senju Tobirama: Makoto! This is just one of the reasons behind my clan's demise, right?]
[Makoto Ito: Ofcourse! The other reasons are even simpler. Wasn't Senju Clan known as the strongest clan? The pillar of Konoha?]
[If that was the case, then let them handle all the dirty work on the battlefield. ]
[If mbers of the Senju clan died on the battlefield, why should Hiruzen be held accountable? After all, they were just expendable soldiers, weren't they?
[A mission here, a battle there—one by one, the Senju clan would be thinned out. Who would question it? And most importantly, when they died, Hiruzen stood before the village, shedding crocodile tears, mourning their sacrifice, pretending to be a benevolent leader.]
[He would express his gratitude for their service, honor their deaths, and declare how they had given their lives for the village.]
[In the end, though, he wouldn't truly care.]
[Senju Tobirama: Ahhhhhh! Sarutobi, you deserve to die!]
At this mont, Tobirama was seething with fury. His clan was gone, his family was wiped out and the one responsible for this was one other than his very own disciple.
Hiruzen, who he had personally trained, the student in whom he had placed his highest hopes, had orchestrated the downfall of his clan.
Tobirama easily saw through these sches because he had once used them himself.
Now, his own student used them against his clan.
[Senju Tobirama: Damn it! Was the Senju clan's leader at the ti an idiot?! Was he brainless? Did he really just follow every command that monkey bastard gave him without question?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Oh my, look at what you are saying! How can the interests of one clan override the interests of the village?]
[As a citizen of Hidden Leaf Village, one must obey the Hokage's orders. Otherwise, they would be labeled a traitor, right?]
[Uchiha Shisui: That's right. The interests of a clan should never co before the interests of the village. I think Lord Third made the right choice!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Shut up, you spying bastard!]
[Senju Tobirama: You're all talking nonsense. The Senju clan has contributed so much to the village. The village wouldn't even exist today without us!]
[Makoto Ito: Actually, the Senju clan's leader at the ti did make an effort to preserve their bloodline. He ensured that the purest lineage of the Senju clan survived, the descendants of the First Hokage.]
[Senju Tobirama: What did you say?! My eldest brother's descendants? There are still mbers of the Senju clan alive?! Where are they now?!]
Tobirama's voice carried a glimr of hope.
[Uchiha Fugaku: Well, interestingly enough, that last surviving mber was none other than the grandson of the First Hokage himself.]
[Senju Tobirama: Then where is he now?!]
Hearing that his brother's grandson was still alive, Tobirama felt a small sense of relief. It was a tragic situation, but at least his clan had not been completely wiped out.
[Uchiha Fugaku: Where is he? The Pure Land, of course. He might even be living next door.]
[Senju Tobirama: What? Didn't he just say that the Senju clan left behind their purest bloodline?! How could he be in the Pure Land?!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Oh, I forgot to ntion.
That child was sent to the battlefield during the Second Ninja War by your apprentice.
Do you know what happened to him?
His intestines were blown out. He died a grueso death.]
Fugaku deliberately left Tsunade out of the conversation, aiming to provoke Tobirama even further and make him more angry.
[Senju Tobirama: SARUTOBI!!!! Fuck you bastard! How dare you do this to ?!]
Rage consud Tobirama. After all, He had raised Hiruzen, ntored him, placed him on the path to becoming Hokage.
How did Hiruzen repay him? He led his clan to demise!
When faced with external threats like the Cloud Shinobi, Hiruzen bowed his head and acted with submission. But when it ca to his own people, he struck them down without rcy.
In the outside world, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on a podium and proudly preached the so-called "Will of Fire" to the students without knowing, his teacher was itching to kill him at this very mont.
[Senju Tobirama: That bastard! So the Senju clan is truly gone?!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Oh, Second Hokage, do you rember what you once said about our clan?]
["Without the Uchiha clan, the village will only be more stable."]
[Senju Tobirama: Wait...! Don't speak...]
[Uchiha Fugaku: hehe, now let return those words to you. Without the Senju clan, Konoha will only be more stable! Muhaha!]
[Senju Tobirama: FUGAKU!!!]
Monts ago, he had mocked the Uchiha clan's demise. Now, the very sa words had co back to haunt him. At least the Uchiha had survivors with pure blood.
But the Senju clan was completely gone.
