It took considerable effort, but finally, the new Senju Compound was done. Compared to the older one, the new Senju Ground was way more modest, both in scale and prestige. They were living in a foreign land, much of their fame was lost. The time to regain what was lost was now beginning. Most of the adults were now fully integrated into Tsuchigakure's society. The ninjas had been assimilated into Stone's shinobi forces, the civilians were now part of Tsuchi's producting civilian population. They were earning their keep, but as any Senju would, they wanted more. The current Compound was nothing but a few houses banded together, surrounded by a, waist tall, bush wall that served as a wall. Two guards were stationed at wall's single entrance and a few more constantly patrolled to Compound to maintain security for those few that never left their homes. The ground was fully covered in grass and small trees had been planted all around. The houses were made of wood and were simply decorated with leaf motifs. The old Overlord's house was easily identified by outsiders, both for its sheer size and magnificence, but Kazuki's current home was pretty much like the others. The only exception to that rule was the door. The entrance to the Overlord's house had the Senju banner carved on it. A bleeding tree stabbed by a sword.
Their leader was usually not at home most of the times. He was constantly traveling around, building up forces so they could return to their ancestral home. He still had plans of expanding their current compound to something more akin to the Senju's real worth. Perhaps even establish a permanent Senju presence in Tsuchigakure. But that was all secondary compared to his true goal. Reclaiming Konohagakure. However, today, the Silvery Haired Man was inside the Compound. He was not resting, he was not being idle. He was searching for someone. He sought to find a Senju that was closely related to him. Tadao had never reached Stone. But his sons did. The White Wolf was very grateful that his uncle had provided for him while he was growing up, effectively becoming a father figure in his life. He was no ready to do the same for Tadao's kids. They were cousins. He would help them out. But first, he had to have a chat with them.
