Guan Liyuan, who encountered Tsunade and her group in the Castle of the Sky, was lying on the bed that night, feeling a little unhappy and muttering to himself: "It's too bad... Other protagonists are either like younger brothers or ex-boyfriends. Although I don't really have any ideas, is it really good that the style of painting suddenly changed when it comes to me?"

[Kuroma-san, the boss seems to be in a bad mood. What is he talking about? Why can't I understand? ] Isobu asked.

[Hmph. ] Kurama just snorted.

[Isobu, your Kurama-san is also in a bad mood now, you'd better be careful. ] Rhino reminded.

[No wonder Kurama-san and the boss have the best relationship...]

[Shut up! ]

"Shut up!"

Guan Liyuan was just a little depressed. After all, his main purpose of approaching Tsunade was to test whether the other party had discovered the conspiracy of the Hidden Village of the Sky.

But judging from some of the reactions of Sakura and Shizune before... Tsunade just happened to come here to throw money!

[By the way, Kurama, the first generation of Hokage and Mito, is it a son or a daughter? Why doesn't Tsunade have a surname? And... where did the Senju clan go?】 Guan Liyuan asked the question he had wanted to know for a long time.

【She gave birth to a son. As for why Tsunade has no surname, it is the same as the disappearance of the Senju clan... the clan was exterminated!】 Kurama gave an answer that shocked Guan Liyuan.

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were once two major ninja clans in the Warring States Period. The two clans joined forces to create Konoha and ended the Warring States Period.

Although the Uchiha clan was suppressed in Konoha, it was still prosperous until it was exterminated. At least when the Uchiha clan was there, Hyuga Hiashi did not dare to say "My Hyuga clan is the strongest clan in Konoha" every day.

However, the powerful Uchiha clan was defeated by their own naivety after all, and was almost extinct in the incident a few years ago...

But what puzzled Guan Liyuan was that the Senju clan seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. There was no explanation in the original work, as if the Senju clan had never existed!

Except for the two Hokage, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, even Tsunade and Nawaki have never had a surname, so it is not certain whether the two are the grandchildren of Hashirama Senju or the grandchildren of the great-grandchildren.

Now Kurama actually said that the Senju clan was exterminated?

"Who did it?" Guan Liyuan asked in surprise.

If Hashirama Senju gave birth to a son, then Tsunade and Nawaki... were they afraid of something, so they deliberately did not have the surname Senju?

"Hashirama Senju." Kurama said sarcastically.

Obviously Kurama has no good feelings towards Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Itachi, and he always uses this tone when he mentions the two of them.

"Huh?" Guan Liyuan thought to himself: Could it be that Uchiha Itachi actually inherited the will of the first generation?

However, Hashirama Senju's character should not be able to do the same thing as Uchiha Itachi...

"That guy said something like 'Only by breaking the shackles of the family can we usher in true peace'. After defeating Uchiha Itachi in the Valley of the End and sealing me into his wife's body, he ordered all members of the Senju clan to cancel their surnames and no longer live together, but to disperse among the ordinary people of Konoha...

The three disciples of the third generation old man are actually descendants of the Senju clan in theory, but the other two are very distantly related to Hashirama Senju's direct bloodline." Kurama said.

"Cancelled the surname of Senju? No wonder..." Guan Liyuan finally realized why there were many ninjas in Konoha who had no surnames but were not bad in talent.

As the representative of the "Three Ninjas", besides Tsunade, let's not talk about how talented Orochimaru, who was praised by the third generation, is. Even Jiraiya, who is said to have the "worst talent" among the three ninjas, is a monster of 11-year-old Chunin and 14-year-old Jonin...

And this guy is even more shameless than Orochimaru. Even when he accepted Naruto as his apprentice, he had to put on a posture of "I have a bad talent and I rely on my own efforts"!

Others like the new generation of Tenten and the civilians like the boss of the ramen shop, also have no surnames, which is very rare among ninjas.

And although Shizune is the niece of Kato Dan, she herself has no surname. It is estimated that either her paternal line comes from Senju, or the Kato family responded to the call of the first generation of Hokage...

Otherwise, sixty years ago, the ninja world was still fighting as a group of families, how could there be no surnames?

"I see... Senju Hashirama is really amazing!" Guan Liyuan couldn't help but sigh.

If it were Guan Liyuan, he could actually make this decision, but what era did Senju Hashirama live in?

It is indeed very rare that someone who has been instilled with the idea of ​​fighting for the family since childhood has the courage to abolish the family...

At the same time, I finally understand why the Senju clan disappeared... If it is said that after the second generation Hokage passed the throne to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third generation old man sat back and watched the Senju clan exterminate the clan, it would be too insidious.

But according to Kurama, after Sarutobi Hiruzen inherited the position of the third generation Hokage, he accepted three descendants of his teacher as apprentices... This is much more touching.

The clan is not like a family. Those big families often have thousands of people, all living separately, and after abolishing the unified representative symbol "surname", the interest groups are no longer the same, and it will take a few generations to completely separate.

Just like the three ninjas... If they all had the surname Senju and lived in the family residence every day, they would definitely not have the relationship they have now.

However, when he heard Guan Liyuan praising Hashirama, Kurama laughed: [Hahaha... Great? I think he was completely fooled! ]

[Huh? What do you mean? 】

【The reason why he disbanded the Senju clan was actually because he wanted other clans, especially the Uchiha clan that lost Madara, to follow his example and disband their clans, right? At that time, he was still dragging his seriously injured body and giving speeches in the village, but in the end, only some insignificant small clans agreed with him. 】 Kurama laughed.

【……】

Well, it does seem like a natural style.

【But it is still amazing, at least he made the Senju clan do it... It can only be said that other clans do not have the mind of Hashirama. 】 Guan Liyuan still said a good word for the first generation.

Moreover, the Senju clan cannot be regarded as "disbanded in vain". After the Senju clan without surnames integrated into Konoha, Konoha also made Konoha more inclusive...

After the Warring States Period, some civilians joined the Hidden Village for various reasons, and then gradually the group of civilian ninjas was born, and many of them did not have surnames.

In other hidden villages, ninjas without surnames generally feel inferior, but this is definitely not the case in Konoha...

And most importantly, although the Senju clan was disbanded, it was equivalent to being preserved forever in another form, so that it would never degenerate and perish in the power struggle like the Uchiha clan. It's just that it is no longer a unified interest group.

Of course, Guan Liyuan also believed that Senju Hashirama should not have really thought so much. It was just like what Kurama said. He probably had the illusion that "everyone will do this after I take the lead", but was slapped hard by reality.

On the contrary, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama did not revoke his brother's order. It may be that he had this consideration...

"Huh? Who is it?" Guan Liyuan suddenly felt someone approaching.

This is in the city, and it is the capital of the Land of the Sky. It is normal to have various levels of chakra reactions around, but just now, Guan Liyuan found someone moving on the roof of the hotel... This is not normal, right?

"Is the direction of movement... to monitor Tsunade? That's right, if they know that the three ninjas are coming, it makes sense that the other party would carefully send people to monitor. Or maybe..."
