As always this is just really awesome and I can't wait for more!!

How old is Tsunade in this story? Are you having her as a possible recruit for MC? Or another wife once she finds out that the Uzumaki are still alive?

Orchamus

That'd help with his problem in getting someone to help Rose with the medical program too, as well as make the Uzumaki and Kasumi happy. The Senju would be happy to know what Tobirama did to hide their bloodline too.

there is also the ones who tobirama hid away

I hope Kazuya manages to recruit the Uchiha and Senju for his own Ninja Village. Taking them from Konoha would be frickin' great~

When's the next chapter?

whats the next fic to be updated?

Danzo as hokage would likely cause a Konha civil war. Especially since there are probably some hidden Mangrkyo users among the uchiha so extermination would not work. This might be a setup for a uchiha waifu so he can get the bloodline.

Why not both?

I hope the senju get hired by the Land of Flowers. Including Tsunade to be a public face of medicine development

Holosagewolf

Im kind of hoping orochi doesnt follow cannon route defects to lof and becomes in charge of tech development (in a non psycho way)

The fact that Danzo has a high chance of actually becoming Hokage is hilarious. Worst timeline indeed. I wonder if Danzo will find out that he was the recommended by the Land of Flowers as Hokage and if he’ll be thankful of paranoid because of it.

Thank you for the amazing chapter 🙏

Just remember… Obito could only use 1 eye even with hashirama cells covering half his body and being an uchiha. Danzo wouldn’t be capable of the same. You also need to consider the weakening of that single eye. Nagato had both eyes. The rinnegan require both eyes to achieve maximum effect.

Even if he has a Rinnegan Eye Danzo will barely be able to use it as the eye without a compatible host like a Uchiha or a Uzumaki due to their respective ancestry will be unable to use it without immense chakra exhaustion like with Kakashi and his sharingan he got from Obito in canon.

Amazing, your making Kazuya destroy konoha from inside, by recomending someone like Danzo as Hokage early on the timeline, an uchiha massacre is inminent, there wont be any Itachi o Sasuke in this world, also with kushina in another continent not even naruto, this is the worst posible scenario for the Sage of sixth paths jajajaja

Every action no matter how small that Danzo takes ends up biting him and Konoha on the ass eventually, making him the leader of Konoha is a pretty good way to speedrun his demise or their destruction if he lives long enough. I'm rather concerned about that Rinnegan floating about though, the Senju are also being pushed into aligning with the Land of Flowers, hopefully MC sends someone to have a chat with Tsunade, a run down on what NE/ROOT is planning would get her to act before the rest of the Senju are wiped out, hopefully there will be more than just her and MC's wife alive by then.

Thanks for the chapter

Orchamus

Danzo gonna Danzo😮‍💨 But Kazuya giving him what he wants works out in helping him dig Konoha's grave, hopefully he can snatch Tsunade and the Senju and either send them to the Uzumaki or bring them in to LoF.

Raymond

Danzo is a Warhawk who wants to control everything the main character probably wants danzo to basically destroy the hidden leaf village from the inside. The will of fire clashing with his world view. Also he will probably anger other villages.

Thanks for the chapter. The ninja world going to shit is going to be funny, no less than what most of them deserve. I wonder if Kazuya could recruit the Senju and also bring back the Senju who were thought to be dead? First, it screws Konoha, and second, it helps preserve the Senju. Maybe he could send them along with the Uzumaki, if that's the case. Although, well, the Uchiha are also screwed. With Danzo as Hokage? Yeah, the village is going to have a really bad time.

Adam Daw

I'm confused. It sounds like he _wants_ Danzo in charge of Konoha. If so, I'm not sure why - I'm pretty sure the only good Danzo is an immediately dead one.
