The doorbell rang, and Oda Tenshu's gaze sharpened instantly as he entered a state of alert and flickered to the door, protecting Oda Chihide behind him.
As a Jonin, his response was quite up to standard. His body slightly bent, he was ready to exert force at any moment, poised to burst forth, with his right hand even reaching behind his waist, where a hidden weapon was at the ready.
The Oda clan, as a top ancient family in the Island Country, held a status comparable to, if not surpassing, the four great families of Yan Country.
After all, in Yan Country, family power was not as prominent for various reasons, but it was a different story in the Island Country, where family and gang power could even influence the state of affairs.
Of course, the Oda clan did not monopolize power in the Island Country.
It was common knowledge that the Oda Family, the Abe Family, and the Aso Family were the three great families of the Island Country, forming a tripartite balance of power.
