His father, Senju Tobirama, was fiercely protective of everything he considered to be his own. That included his techniques, research, family, clansmen, and now the ninjas of Konoha.
If you wanted to harm a Shinobi of Konoha or had any malicious intention against the village, then you should be prepared to endure his wrath.
He would make you suffer in the cruelest ways possible.
Even erecting space-locking seals and barriers wouldn't be able to keep you safe at night.
Forget about his father. If Konoha faced any danger, even his kind, goofy, and utterly hopeless gambler of an uncle, Senju Hashirama, would transform from a merciful Buddha to a wrathful Asura Demon.
To protect Konoha, this man almost fought his lifelong best friend, the Uchiha Dance King, Madara, to death.
When these two Senju brothers combined their might, even distant horned Otsutsuki would have to kneel and beg for mercy.
Not that they would get it.
Sometimes, Seimei even had mental debates to figure out who was more powerful: The peak Hashirama or Naruto from the Boruto era.
Honestly, if Naruto didn't have Kurama, the Nine-tails, and the plug-in like Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto wouldn't be able to match his uncle.
Sure, even without the tailed beast and the literal cheat from Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Naruto could still reach the peak of the Kage-level power on his own.
Add the Sage Mode into the mix, and Naruto could even fight opponents who crossed the threshold of the Super Kage level.
And now, his uncle could still grow and become even more powerful after he fully recovered from his internal injuries.
Just thinking about his uncle Hashirama's abilities…
A monstrous physique that could break Raikage's bones with pure physical strength. Check✅.
Insane vitality that could regenerate the most grievous of wounds within seconds. Check✅.
Chakra reserves surpassing the Nine-tailed beast. Check✅.
Performing Ninjutsu and Entering Sage Mode with a single clap. Check✅.
Mastery over Chakra Enhanced Strength that would allow him to crush literal hills with a single punch. Check✅.
Overwhelming mental strength that almost made you doubt if Hashirama had some secret kind of Dojutsu or eye-related Kekkei Genkai. Check✅.
Massive and powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu that could flatten mountains and grab the strongest tailed beast by the neck and subdue it. Check✅.
Seimei: (＃°Д°)
Seimei: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
Seimei: ○|￣|_
Seriously…
How could someone even think about going up against someone like that?
That Uchiha Madara sure was a gutsy ninja.
But in the end, all he could do was dance around the battlefield to avoid being flattened by Hashirama's massive wooden constructs.
Dance King indeed.
If you didn't have a cheat, a friendly neighborhood grandpa like Otsutsuki Hagoromo to gift you with the Six Paths power as a Christmas gift, or an utterly pure Otsutsuki bloodline from the distant planet with a thousand years of combat experience and a chakra fruit, going up against the peak Senju Hashirama was nothing but a pure suicide attempt.
It just couldn't be helped.
In this world of bloodline and eye power supremacy, some people and their talent and strength were utterly broken beyond belief.
His uncle was one such person.
If Momoshiki even dared to come after Hashirama, Hashirama also dared to smash his face to the ground and strangle him to death.
Uh-oh! Did I get sidetracked again?
Anyway, let's focus on my father right now.
Seimei thought internally as he reined in his wandering mind.
On the other side, the violent chakra fluctuations around Senju Tobirama's body had subsided, and his mind had also calmed down.
Seeing this, Seimei asked, "Father, how do we deal with the Oshino clan?"
Although the thought of clan extermination came to Seimei's mind, he quickly dismissed it. This isn't some Wuxia or Xianxia cultivation world where you would exterminate an entire clan over some minor conflict.
If Konoha exterminated the Oshino clan, a force still under the jurisdiction of the Fire Country, over a conflict that didn't even harm Konoha, it could attract the Daimyo's ire.
And if the Oshino clan was serving any noble house or influential figure, eliminating them could attract even more trouble.
Hearing Seimei's question, Tobirama fell into a deep thought.
After a few seconds, he rubbed his chin slowly with his right hand before responding to Seimei's question.
"As much as I want to teleport to their homes and slit their throats, this is no longer a choice."
"If we were still in the Warring States Period, I wouldn't have hesitated even for a second before purging the Oshino clan."
"But things are different now."
"Although the Oshino clan only has 30-40 active ninjas and their clan leader's combat prowess is hardly at the Elite Jonin-level, they still have the backing of a rather influential regional noble house."
"That noble house treats the Oshino clan ninjas as their personal security and elite military force. So, purging the Oshino clan outright will be troublesome."
"After all, none of our Konoha ninjas suffered from any serious or crippling injuries."
"We just don't have the justification to take action against them. At least, not openly."
Although his father said they couldn't take any direct action against the Oshino clan, Seimei still caught the nuances in his speech.
So, Seimei raised his eyebrow before asking curiously, "Purging them will be 'troublesome,' but we can still empty their treasury and give them a beating, can't we?"
Tobirama crossed his arms and smirked, "Of course, we will seek 'compensation.' After all, their action made our ninjas suffer from deep 'mental trauma' and 'depression.'"
"It's perfectly reasonable."
"And we have the Yamanaka clan's projection technique."
"If the noble house backing them opposes us, we can simply report to the Daimyo and show him the projection of every misdeed done by the Oshino clan ninja and his group against our ninjas and other civilians and merchants."
"We can easily extract that information and verify its authenticity with the Yamanaka clan's secret Jutsu."
"If we do this, the Daimyo would have no choice but to take our side as we completely empty the coffers of the Oshino clan."
"And that's not all."
"Even though we can't kill any Oshino clan ninja right now, we can still beat them and break a limb or two of a couple of them."
"It's only natural for a few emotional fools to stop us from seeking our compensation. So, we would have no other choice but to be a little heavy-handed."
As Seimei heard his father explain, he couldn't help but admire him.
As expected of my father.
Always planning to rob people blind.
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if that's how the Senju clan collected tens of thousands of Jutsu from different clans over the last few thousand years.
We even have Jutsu from Shinobi clans that have already been extinct for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Gasp~
Don't tell me robbing and looting are in the genes of the Senju clan.
Now that I think about it, is it possible that my father influenced Danzo so much that he inherited the tendency to hoard forbidden techniques and Kekkei Genkai from my father in the original Narutoverse?
Hmm!
Certainly possible!
As Seimei thought that, he watched his father with a strange expression.
The more his father talked about how he planned to grab the Oshino clan's gold, their Jutsu, their weapons, and everything of value meticulously, the stranger his gaze toward his father became.
It seemed that his father had already entered the Bandit King mode.
Seimei wondered if his father was born in the wrong world. He could certainly become a powerful pirate or marine in a world with a certain straw-hat pirate with a rubber-like body.
In the end, even though the Oshino clan wouldn't be exterminated, it was still doomed.
Amitabha!!
And just like that, Seimei felt so bad for their enemies that he prayed for them a second time tonight.
