Chapter 124: Exploiting The Uzumaki Clan
Senju Wakama returned to the clan territory in stealth; he had no intention of meeting his Second Brother or younger sister at all.
Just as Zetsu had said, Tsukuyo would handle it; he shouldn't meddle in her affairs.
So, Senju Wakama went directly back to his room, closed the door, and immediately fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, Senju Wakama reviewed the events that had occurred around him that day.
The first matter concerned Tamayo Nara.
After interacting with and observing her for some time, Senju Wakama felt that Tamayo Nara was more cunning than Hyuga Miyu.
Moreover, this woman was far more troublesome than she appeared on the surface.
Although Tamayo Nara was similar in age to Senju Wakama.
Yet, the Nara clan had still dispatched her to negotiate with the Senju clan, which was testament to her outstanding abilities.
And such a woman, during her menstruation, continuously invited him to sexual intimacy.
If she wasn't truly foolish, then she wanted to kill him.
And in such a repulsive manner.
When Senju Wakama was learning medical ninjutsu from Tsukuyo, because Senju Wakama had a secret affair with Uchiha Yuki, Tsukuyo had to solemnly caution him about certain things.
Tsukuyo told him that he must absolutely not have sexual relations with women during their menstruation, as it was very easy to contract the disease "Mashangfeng" (Sudden Wind).
The inexplicable disease name "Mashangfeng" (Sudden Wind) also had a more common and easily understood name: "Sudden Death during Sex."
Not everyone would contract it, but those who did would certainly die very repulsively.
Enough to cause the deceased to lose all face before those who collected their bodies.
Therefore, today Senju Wakama tactfully declined Tamayo Nara.
He didn't know if Tamayo Nara was "uneducated" or intentionally trying to kill him.
The Nara clan had been in the herb business for a long time. Although their medical skills were not as exceptional as Tsukuyo's, they could still be considered a medical ninja clan to some extent.
Not necessarily…
Senju Wakama didn't know Tamayo Nara's thoughts and was too lazy to analyze much, only wanting to keep his distance from her, for the sake of his own life.
Just as he had told Tamayo Nara before.
He wanted to enjoy this world, not understand it.
He wanted to enjoy these girls, not understand them.
Why understand them? If two people could achieve mental and physical harmony together, that was good; there was no need for excessive understanding.
When two people no longer felt good together, then it was time to part ways.
The second matter Senju Wakama wanted to review concerned Tsukuyo.
Second Brother Tobirama must have used Zetsu to trick Tsukuyo into returning home.
And upon returning, given Second Brother Tobirama's personality, he would most likely immediately apologize to Tsukuyo.
And to divert Tsukuyo's anger, Second Brother Tobirama would tell Tsukuyo about the Uzumaki clan members freeloading off the Senju clan and affecting their income.
To Tsukuyo, earning money was more important than anything else.
If the Uzumaki clan affected the Senju clan's business, Tsukuyo would definitely use any means to drive them away.
But Tsukuyo would certainly stand on the moral high ground, entice the Uzumaki clan to make mistakes, thereby causing the Uzumaki clan to lose face completely and leave voluntarily.
As for what Tsukuyo would do, Senju Wakama didn't care.
As long as the Uzumaki clan was gone.
Thinking this, Senju Wakama closed his eyes.
…
The next morning.
The clan territory's alarm bell rang.
Senju Wakama was startled awake. He washed and changed clothes at top speed and rushed to the clan meeting point.
Although he had anticipated that something major would happen last night, Senju Wakama had never imagined that Tsukuyo's swift actions would be so terrifying.
Only by questioning those in the know did Senju Wakama understand.
It turned out that last night, upon returning to the clan territory, Tsukuyo had issued an order to the clansmen: "The Uzumaki clan is severely affecting our clan's business. We order the Uzumaki clan to leave the Senju clan by dawn tomorrow, or else don't blame the Senju clan for not understanding the way of hospitality."
Hearing this news, the Uzumaki Clan Head's grandson, in a fit of rage, smashed the Senju clan's ancestral graves.
The Senju clan's ancestral graves were now ruins, the remains of the deceased haphazardly mixed together, the scene utterly gruesome.
Their old father, Butsuma, sternly reprimanded the Uzumaki clan members who had come to negotiate and demanded compensation.
Could it be that the Nara clan knew nothing about a disease like "Mashangfeng"?
Not necessarily…
The Uzumaki clan knew they were at fault, but they didn't have that much money for compensation. So, after discussion, they used part of the Uzumaki clan's sealing ninjutsu as compensation, paying it to the Senju clan.
After hearing this seemingly reasonable account of events.
Senju Wakama's emotions were extremely complex.
Just because they were reprimanded by the Senju Princess, the Uzumaki clan smashed the Senju clan's ancestral graves?
How could he possibly believe that?
There must have been Tsukuyo's machinations involved.
However, since things had come to this, the Uzumaki clan had suffered a major loss, and the Senju clan had not lost out.
It was just that the ancestors had suffered…
Tsukuyo had used the Senju clan's ancestors to acquire the Uzumaki clan's legacy.
However, this matter was not Senju Wakama's concern.
At noon.
Senju Wakama accompanied Tamayo Nara to the festival for her last lunch.
Even though the Uzumaki clan had caused such a huge incident, business on Hot Spring Street could not cease; it absolutely wouldn't affect the guests' experience, so the festival and entertainment services continued without interruption.
"I heard something major happened to your Senju clan last night, don't you need to go handle it?"
Tamayo Nara asked quietly, holding a bowl of pork stomach and chicken soup.
"My younger sister is back..." Senju Wakama said with a light chuckle, "She'll handle this."
Again, Tamayo Nara heard Senju Wakama mention his younger sister.
Tamayo Nara frowned slightly, "Wakama, your younger sister seems to have a lot of authority in the Senju clan."
"Yes, because she's strong." Senju Wakama smiled.
"Although it's a bit presumptuous, you said before that when your younger sister returns, you'd let her diagnose me," Tamayo Nara said cautiously, "However, your Senju clan has encountered a major event, so if it's inconvenient, next time would be fine too."
Senju Wakama hummed with a smile.
It wouldn't be long before they met.
Senju Wakama personally escorted Tamayo Nara out of the clan territory.
As she had said, Tamayo Nara was reluctant to part from Senju Wakama, leaving with frequent glances back.
Until Tamayo Nara's figure disappeared from sight.
From behind Senju Wakama, Tsukuyo's sweet voice came.
"...Oh~ Third Brother, it doesn't seem quite right for you to pull such strings just to meet a girl quickly, does it?"
Senju Wakama didn't turn around. He said indifferently, "Tsukuyo, this girl clearly knows she's menstruating, yet she keeps trying to entice me to sleep with her. Do you think she's ignorant or intentional?"
Tsukuyo slowly walked to Senju Wakama's side, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him. She smiled and said, "Both are possible. I don't know this girl well enough to give you a definite answer."
"Exactly, that's what I thought too, so I took precautions." Senju Wakama gave a faint smile.
The brother and sister exchanged a knowing glance and spoke no further.
