Chapter 53 Clan Meeting

The family finished dinner in harmony. All the women in the patriarch's mansion were not bad characters. They did not deliberately bully the newcomers, and they even took great care of Shizune.

After dinner, it was completely dark. Senju Genma put on a clean kimono and went to the family ancestral hall.

The Senju clan is still among the great ninja clan in Konoha, but even so, there are very few clan members who can enter the ancestral hall to participate in clan meetings.

In addition to the clan leader and six elders, only Jōnin from the clan can attend the clan meeting, and there are less than forty people in total.

Senju Genjian entered the ancestral hall. The elders and Jōnin were already there. Only the seats of the clan leader and his wife were empty.

Genma sat on the seat belonging to the clan leader, and Tsunade sat beside him on the seat of the clan leader's wife.

Although the two are not married, everyone knows that it will be a matter of time for Tsunade to become the clan leader's wife.

Xuanjian glanced around the ancestral hall and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's officially start the clan meeting."

"It just so happens that I just returned to the village not long ago, so I used this clan meeting to learn about the current situation of the family."

Senju Genjian looked at the elders sitting on the left and right sides of the long table and continued:

"Elders, I believe you are ready. Who comes first?"

"Clan leader!"

As soon as Xuanjian finished speaking, the second elder stood up first and handed a document to Xuanjian.

"This is the information I compiled about the implementation of the civilianization policy.

In the six months since you left, more and more people in the family have integrated into the civilian population.

In ten years at most, the family will be able to fully integrate into the civilian population!"

After saying that, the second elder looked at the other elders proudly, as if showing off his efficiency.

Xuanjian frowned.

"Second Elder, you probably think this is announcing good news to me, right?!"

"I have received a promise from Lord Hokage. It is up to us to decide whether to make the family civilian."

"I said before I left the family that while I was on the battlefield, my clansmen would not be allowed to flow into the civilian population. Why didn't you listen?"

"This..." The second elder's expression froze and he didn't know how to answer.

Because Xuanjian did say this, but not long after Xuanjian left, he forgot about it.

Many people had smiles on their lips and were very happy in their hearts, but they did not dare to laugh out loud on such occasions.

The second elder once followed Tobirama on the battlefield and was Tobirama's die-hard loyalist. He usually did things in a rigid manner and did not know how to adapt. He offended many people in the clan.

Moreover, most of these Jōnin have children, and not many of them hope that their children will become ordinary members of the village in the future.

Senju Xuanjian waved and motioned for the second elder to sit down.

"Okay, from today on, your affairs within the clan will be handed over to the great elder. You are not young anymore, and you have to work hard on clan affairs every day. You should take some rest!"

The sudden decision exceeded everyone's expectations, and even Tsunade sitting aside had her eyes widened.

The second elder unswervingly supports the policy of civilianization. Everyone knows that he is also responsible for the policy of civilianization, but now he has to be replaced by the first elder.

The Great Elder usually doesn't care about things at all, but he is a die-hard loyal to the new head of the family, Uzumaki Mito. He will do whatever Uzumaki Mito says.

After Uzumaki Mito's death, he became Senju Genma's diehard loyalist.

This is to seize power!

Everyone couldn't believe it and felt that the head of their family seemed to have changed. He had never shown any interest in power before.

The second elder who was a little overwhelmed by the question was also stunned for a moment.

"But the civilian policy is Tobirama-sama..."

"Elder Hongshu, are you questioning my decision?" Xuanjian said calmly, his whole body covered with blue-purple Chakra. Under his precise Chakra control, the air flow pressed on the second elder alone, "Don't forget , I am...the patriarch, none of you are."

Xuanjian's clever brain told himself that this was the simplest and most useful method at the moment.

Everyone was stunned and seemed to be in disbelief.

Is this the strength of the legend of the ninja world?

We are also from the Senju clan, how come the gap between Chakra is so huge?

The second elder swallowed and said tremblingly: "Yes, Mr. Patriarch."

Xuanjian looked around again, and everyone bowed their heads respectfully.

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."

After all, this is a world where strength speaks for itself!

Seeing this, Senju Xuanjian put away the pressure of his strange power and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, then this matter has been decided."

"Next, Fifth Elder, please tell me about the development of the family industry."

"Yes." The fifth elder responded immediately and stood up to report the status of the family assets to Senju Xuanjian.

Under Xuanjian's friendly and kind inquiries, the clan meeting came to an end in a peaceful atmosphere.

Before the clan meeting ended, the great elder stood up slowly and stared at Xuanjian: "Lord clan leader, have you ever thought that your decision today may dissatisfy the top leaders of the village?"

"The family is on my shoulders. Of course I have thought about this. I will be in charge of the top management, so you don't have to worry about it!" Genma replied with a smile.

Are the village leaders dissatisfied?

Who else would be dissatisfied with me? It's just Danzo.

Now there is no Mito to stop me. If he dares to jump in my face, I will kill him.

Facing the top management of Konoha, the more they give in, the more they will push forward.

The example of the Uchiha clan is right in front of Genma!

However, Genma was not Fugaku. He was hesitant and wavering. He wanted a coup but couldn't control his son. He longed for peace but couldn't control his tribe. He didn't have the courage to resist, so he finally chose to be killed.

The great elder nodded.

"That's it for today's clan meeting!" After saying this, Senju Genjian took Tsunade and left the ancestral hall.

Everyone stared at Xuanjian's back without saying a word.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." After returning home, Genma pulled Tsunade into the bedroom.

Tsunade's eyes were complicated, and she approached Genma, forehead to forehead.

"I noticed that you seem to be different. You were not like this before."

Genma coerced everyone and forced the second elder, and these Tsunade all saw it.

Although she was surprised by Xuanjian's tough stance at the clan meeting, she was even more afraid that Xuanjian would become something she didn't recognize.

"Don't worry, I'm still me.

I just saw the crisis that the family is facing.

It's not okay to continue like this.

Mito-sama entrusted the family to me, and I can't let it be destroyed in my hands."

Senju Genma Her hands climbed up to the white snow on Tsunade's chest, letting her know that she hadn't changed at all.

Feeling the pressure on her chest, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Genma tapped Tsunade's lips and said, "Of course, we will continue to develop the family."

"You don't care about the top management of the village?" Tsunade was a little confused.

Genma said disdainfully: "Among the current high-level officials, the only one who dares to go against me is Danzo, but I don't take him seriously at all."

Arrogance requires strength, and I just have it!
