Naruto: The Great Senju!
Chapter 11's

By this time, about 3000 people had gathered under the Hokage building. Each of them was a Shinobi with a Konohagakure forehead protector.

At the top of the building stood a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and a hat symbolizing the word "Fire".

"Today is an important step that must be taken to carve a new history."...

"Konoha has a precious legacy passed down from generation to generation, and it is a fire that will never be extinguished."

"The determination that makes us a unity that complements and protects one another."...

Through his speeches, Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage can easily arouse and instill a sense of fighting spirit in every Shinobi present.

Under the pretext of the will of fire, those who hear have been consumed by the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although this is very good and motivating, but it only applies to those who understand what the will of fire really is.

According to Nakamura such words are indeed useful, but he feels a bit strange when the one who says it is a person like Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This meek-looking old man actually had something that went against that belief. He was even able to turn a blind eye to the heinous actions of a friend, willing to do everything behind the scenes for the peace of the village.

But what is peace in this dangerous world? Even if Shinobi countries and villages do not fight, disasters like Otsutsuki in the future will still come and disturb their deep sleep. X(

Nakamura only listened among the crowd, where at this time every Shinobi gathered representing their respective clans.

"All right, we're leaving soon."

"You all listen carefully to my instructions!"

"While during the journey each clan will be supervised by each clan head or their representative."

"While the place we're going to is the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of the River."

"Then let's go!"

Said a man with spiny hedgehog hair, he was Jiraiya who held the command of the entire Shinobi unit. While beside him Orochimaru looked like a white-skinned snake with a sharp gaze.

Some time later, through Jiraiya's instructions, the Shinobi rushed out of Konoha's gate and left the village heading southwest.

This war will involve Konohagakure and Sunagakure, while the other three major Shinobi villages may come and interfere.

However it would be difficult for them to carry out sneak attacks as long as the Fire Nation border was heavily guarded by some elite Shinobi.

Either who would know, whether they would also carry out an attack in the near future or not?

What is clear is that other large Shinobi villages will not be rash. In addition to Konoha, which is in conflict with four other villages, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Sunagakure and Kirigakure are also in conflict with each other.

That was why they had to think of the plan as best as possible, agara did not pose an opportunity for the other Shinobi villages.

Moreover, Iwagakure and Kumogakure were close to reaching a dead end point in their forefront. The possibility of clashing with them in a large amount of time is sure to happen in the near future.

...

Konoha's Shinobi have gone very far through the forests of the Land of Fire. Under Jiraiya's instructions, they only rest some time in the middle of the road, then return to travel after the stamina of the Shinobi again improved.

Until it takes more than one day to arrive at the border of the Land of Fire adjacent to the Land of the River.

When all had reached their destination, each set up camp tents and rested at night.

In addition some will stand guard alternately in the middle of the night.

At this time, Nakamura was in the vicinity of the encampment set up by a group of Senju Shinobi clans.

But some clans choose to live together in some parts and are only inhabited by members of the clan.

"Excuse me sir."

"You must be Senju Nakamura who is the representative of the Senju clan?"

Said someone who suddenly said beside Nakamura. He just looked over and saw a young man who was about his age.

Then Nakamura replied with a short nod.

"I am ordered to call you to head to the main camp with representatives from other clans."

Follow the young man in his polite tone.

"Yes well, let's go together."

Reply Nakamura was no less friendly with the other party. While walking they also chatted a few words discussing the current situation.

"Ah before my name is Yamanaka Uriko."

"It's actually a little surprised that the representative of Senju is a young man of my age."

Hearing Yamanaka Uriko's words he could only slightly show a light laugh.

"Not something to be proud of."

"If compared to the Yamanaka clan, our clan is far behind."

"In addition the Shinobi of the Senju clan are not as much and as great as the other clans."

Through Nakamura's words, Yamanaka Uriko could only smile with a guilty look. He then immediately replied by saying some praise about the greatness of the Senju in the past, although he knew the Senju now decreased drastically. But he never intended to demean others.

Nakamura thought that this Yamanaka Uriko was a person with a broad mind and was good at regulating the situation. It is rare to find a young man who has a good view of the past. As expected of the Yamanaka clan.

Moments later, the two men reached their destination, the main camp of Konoha's Shinobi base.

Along with the arrival of Nakamura, several representatives or heads of the family also arrived on time. In addition, Yamanaka Uriko can only deliver until the front door and then immediately turn around to do his guard duty.

Inside the spacious tent, several famous Shinobi gathered there, such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Hyuga Hizashi, Uchiha Fugaku and many others.

"It seems like everyone has gathered."

Nara Shikaku said carefully observing everyone who was there. Then his gaze came to a slight halt when he saw Senju Nakamura.

After all he was the relatively youngest person among most representatives of the clan.

Including Orochimaru who showed his interest secretly. Unfortunately he could not hide from Nakamura's attention, they looked at each other for some time before returning to focus to the conversation.

"According to information from the spy who just returned. Sunagakure seems to be ready and waiting for us to make a direct attack."

"They didn't decide to move first, likely because they were a little reluctant to leave the desert."

"In addition the Sunagakure Shinobi fully mobilized the territory of the River Land. With their abilities, this country could only give up and let Suna infiltrate their land."

"The problem is that the Daimyo Land River has secretly sent a request for assistance to Konoha."

Shikaku said seriously, explaining detail by detail. While others are more listening and thinking about the worst scheme they will face.
