After the conversation with Uchiha Kazuma, Araki immediately left. He was going towards the Senju Clan Manor.
Uchiha Kazuma turned towards the window and says, "It looks like you have a fierce rival for yourself, Keshiro."
In that corner, there was a small kid of nearly Araki's age. Just a little older than Araki maybe. He was Uchiha Keshiro, Uchiha Kazuma's younger son.
"Hnn…" Uchiha Keshiro grunted in dissatisfaction, he didn't like how his father was thinking of Senju Araki as his rival. Did that mean his father, Uchiha Kazuma, believed that Senju Araki could pose a challenge to him? That was a preposterous thought.
"He can't defeat me now that I have these eyes." His eyes changed colour and were now crimson red colour with three tomoe revolving in his eyes.
"You are quite talented to have awakened your Sharingan at this young age and then having achieved the three tomoe level, but solely relying on Sharingan will prevent you from becoming truly strong.��� Uchiha Kazuma said with a grave look on his face.
"Anyway, you will know when you fight against Senju Araki. I am sure he will bring you down a peg or two." Uchiha Kazuma shrugged upon seeing his son's indifference.
"Hnn…" Uchiha Keshiro once again grunted in dissatisfaction.
A little helpless in front of his son, Uchiha Kazuma really didn't know how to make him understand that Sharingan was an excellent tool, but it didn't make one invincible.
He knew that his son wouldn't understand that unless he fought against Senju Araki. He felt that there was a chance for his son to mature if he interacts with Senju Araki.
"When is elder sister returning from her mission?" Uchiha Keshiro asked his father in a curious voice.
Uchiha Kazuma replied to him with a neutral voice, "Fugaku sent me a message stating that he is going to accompany Hatake Sakumo's return to Konoha in the next few months. It doesn't seem like Suna would be attacking Konoha any time soon with depleted resources. He will also be bringing Mikoto with him."
Uchiha Mikoto, she was 13 years old and was the eldest daughter of Uchiha Kazuma. She was a Chunin ranked shinobi.
A smile broke out on Keshiro's face, he was happy that his elder sister was finally free to return. Maybe he could learn some new tricks from her. He remembered she was really good at the Body Replacement Jutsu.
Around this time, Araki returned to the Senju Clan Manor. In these two months, he had taken over the Senju Clan Property entirely. Nothing much needed to be done since the paperwork had been prepared by Uzumaki Mito before her death.
He had to sign some documents or some seals before he could legally be called the Senju Clan Head.
And, the first thing Araki did was go to various villages around Konoha bring the Uzumaki Clan Members there to the Senju Clan Manor. The Uzumaki Clan Members were patiently waiting for Araki to arrive.
There were some orphans out of these surviving members of Uzumaki Clan. They were initially handed some Ryo and asked to use them thoughtfully. The first ones Araki brought to the Senju Clan Manor were these orphans. It was because there was no adult among them, they wouldn't be able to take care of each other.
Next… Araki went around and took in some more Uzumaki Clan Member from other villages. After having brought 40-50 Uzumaki Clan Members to the Senju Clan Manor, he stopped with this.
Araki then focused on meeting with the other Uzumaki Clan Members and asked them to go to the Land of Waves.
With this, nearly 200 or so members of the Uzumaki Clan had relocated. He just needed to do it for 5 months, and all the Uzumaki Clan Members would be well settled.
There wouldn't be any threat to their lives at least. All that Araki needed to do was keep them hidden from the Hokage and that Danzo's eyes.
At the same time, in a dark cave, an easily distinguishable creature with a pure black body and golden eyes with no pupils was seen.
He kneeled down in front of an old man while speaking, "The Uzumaki Clan was attacked by the Three Great Villages."
The old man looked amused at the information, "The Uzumaki Clan was attacked? What was Konoha's stance?"
"The Konoha did not send any reinforcements. In fact, the student of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru sold the way to enter Uzushio to Kumo on very high price. The Third Hokage knew of this but did not make any attempts to stop him." The black creature speaks again.
"It shows that Shinobi will continue to seek conflict no matter how much time passes. Hashirama, was this the village you envisioned?" A smile appeared on the old man's face as this was quite good for him.
"You mentioned that the Uzumaki Clan was attacked, but didn't say that they were destroyed. Does that mean some survived?" The old man asks with some hint of curiosity in his voice.
"Madara-sama, the Uzumaki Clan was attacked, and they bitterly resisted. But, it seemed that Uzumaki Mito had made some preparations to save her clan members. They all created Blood Clones to fool the world. Currently, they have changed the colour of their hairs with some seals and taken up their family name as Samazaki since they can't use Uzumaki Name in public anymore. Their leader is a small child named Senju Araki." The Black thing explained it to Madara.
"Senju?" Madara raised his brow with a small frown.
"Yes… Senju Araki. He is the grandson of Senju Hashirama. Moreover, unlike Senju Tsunade, Senju Araki has also inherited the Legendary Mokuton of Senju Hashirama."
"He has inherited Hashirama's Mokuton!" A surprised look appeared on his face. This news did excite him.
"Yes… Senju Araki has shown off his use of many of Senju Hashirama's attacks in the battle against the Three Great Villages."
"How old is he?"
"8-year-old."
The excitement in Madara's eyes died down. This disappointed him a little. If only this boy was 15-16, maybe this brat would have entertained him. Right now, this boy was far too weak.
"Black Zetsu, go and meet this boy. Ask him to come and meet me." Madara ordered the Black Zetsu.
"Madara-sama, although he is young, he doesn't seem to be stupid. He wouldn't follow me…" Black Zetsu said to Madara with an expression that seemed to be a frown.
Madara though shook his head negatively, "He will follow you. Just mention that you know where the surviving Uzumaki Clan Members live. He would rather meet me than take the risk."
"Yes, Madara-sama." With that, Black Zetsu left the cave.
