The meeting room of the Uzumaki clan was located in a shrine in Uzushio Village. The huge main hall, illuminated by candlelight on both sides, looked solemn and a bit eerie at the same time.
At this moment, the senior leaders, led by the Great Elder Uzumaki Guanghai and the clan leader Uzumaki Wako, were discussing whether to agree to the Senju's conditions.
The great elder agreed but insisted on bargaining with the Senju. They didn't need to send everyone to the battlefield. At the very least, they had to ensure that the Uzumaki clan could be passed down from generation to generation.
However, the clan leader Uzumaki Wako thought it was inappropriate.
"The place where the battle took place was across the sea from the Land of Whirlpools, and it was difficult for the flames of war to reach the Uzumaki side," Wako argued. "There is no need to agree to Kawaragi's conditions."
Uzumaki Guanghai, who was now over sixty years old and had completely white hair, stroked his beard and glanced at Wako sitting opposite him. He could still see a trace of dissatisfaction in Wako's eyes.
It was no wonder that in the Uzumaki clan, the power of the great elder was higher than that of the clan leader. It was normal for Wako to be dissatisfied with him.
At this time, a jounin from the elder faction asked Wako, "Then according to the patriarch's wishes, we are going to offend the Senju?"
The eyes of more than a dozen people suddenly focused on Wako. They all knew that due to the geographical location of the Land of Whirlpools, offending Senju would never end well.
Wako was indeed dissatisfied with Guanghai, but he was not an idiot. He immediately replied, "I just said that Kawaragi's proposal should be rejected. I did not say that I wanted to offend the Senju."
"What does the patriarch mean?" another gray-haired elder asked.
"Although I don't agree to participate in the war, I can agree to another condition, which is the marriage with the Senju Deputy Clan Leader, Senju Hashirama."
As he said that, Wako looked at Guanghai with an inexplicable smile on his lips. "This will trouble the great elder to cut off his love."
Everyone could tell that Wako was deliberately trying to disgust Guanghai. As the clan leader, he did not have a daughter, and his age did not match Senju Hashirama. Looking at the current high-ranking members of the Uzumaki clan, there was no one whose daughter's status and age could match Senju Hashirama, except for the Uzumaki Guanghai family.
Boom!
At that moment, the door of the shrine opened, and everyone looked a little dissatisfied that someone had entered during a high-level meeting.
However, when they saw the person coming in, they quickly wiped away the dissatisfaction on their faces.
The girl who entered the shrine was twenty-eight years old, in the most beautiful age of a woman's life. As the symbol of the Uzumaki clan, a waterfall of red hair was tied up with a hairpin. It resembled the hairstyle of women in the Qing Dynasty drama in the TV series Izuna watched in her previous life.
Wearing a plain white gauze dress, embellished with light cyan patterns, she walked quickly in small steps. While showing off her exquisite beauty, she also exhibited a good ladylike temperament.
Mito Uzumaki, the granddaughter of the great elder Guanghai Uzumaki, was also a true princess of the Uzumaki clan. Just now, Wako mentioned that she was the most suitable person to marry Senju Hashirama.
"Oh, Mito, you're here. We happened to be talking about you," Wako said loudly.
Mito walked up to the crowd, folded her hands on her waist, and bowed slightly in salute. Her voice was like an ethereal melody. "Junior, I also heard about the Senju clan leader's request for marriage and alliance. I wonder if you can express some opinions?"
Wako frowned and asked, "Mito, aren't you willing to serve the clan..."
Before Wako finished speaking, Mito interrupted rudely, "Uncle Wako, if it is for the sake of the clan, I am not opposed to marriage, but please listen to what I have to say."
